As Lives of One :: 2008

Blessing

Searching for truth, I see difficulty
I see a heart that's thirsting for peace
Now we must choose, to end this disease
Bleeding the vein of hypocrisy and greed

One look inside shows me that there is so much more
To this life, that most will never know

Open your eyes, that you may see
Everything you have, is your blessing

So much to lose, where is the liberty
What is a life, that's searching for peace

One look inside shows me that there's so much to hide from you
One look inside shows me that there's so much more

From this day lives, as lives of one

All These Things

Blessed be the tie that binds, the sight that finds, the fight of minds
Blessed be our time our bind, this life that shines, one heart divine

This is the first time I've ever felt this way
This is the first time we have a chance to take

All these things that we've been through
All these things they stand to prove
The blood we share is blood of truth
When we are one, we are strong

Blessed be the light that binds, the fire inside, one mind defined

This is the first time I've ever felt this way
This is the first time we have a chance to take

All these things that we've been through
All these things they stand to prove
The blood we share is blood of truth
When we are one, we are strong
All these things that we've been through
All these things they stand to prove
When we are one, we are strong
We are one, we are strong

Every passing day, there's nothing left, nothing left to chance
In every other way, we must stand, stand for our chance

Malice

Malice flows up from the wound in my heart
Atrophy of intellect leads to
My hatred, I have been told to love my enemies
Surround and poison me, poison me
Surround and poison me
See through me, tell me all that you ever wanted of me

Now I'm broken, these simple words have spoken
Now I'm broken, it's torn down and falling apart

Hatred flows as all light departs
Apathy for what's correct leads to
This mindset, I have been told to love my enemies

Now on this path I'm found
Something here must change, to rid this world of pain
The hopes on the ground, now on this path I'm found

Broken Soul

A scar remains, remains
The blood still stains, light falls away, falls away
Voices hateful find a place
Ashes Remain, remain
As light still stains, darkness will fade, still broken

Broken soul, I can see the wound is free
Take this day to find your way
I can see the wound is free

Evil remains, remains
The scarlet stains, truth falls away, falls away
Voices hateful find a place
The flames remain, remain
As truth still stains, shadows they fade, still broken

Fade

Objectified so itemized by, made to feel so, made to believe so
Nullified so brutalized by, made to feel so, made to believe so
I'm not human anymore, what I feel is nothing more
Than a fleeting glance of what could have been

This life will fade away (days are fading), your strength remains the same (always remain)

Objectified so itemized by, made to feel so, made to believe so
Nullified so brutalized by, made to feel so, made to believe so
I'm not perfect anymore, now the truth is nothing more
Than a fleeting glance of what should have been

This life will fade away (days are fading), your strength remains the same (always remain)

Whole

What can I do to change this pace
I've paid a price, this pain is real, I am cold inside
I'm caught inside, I'm locked inside my head
Nothing that ever could be done would take away integrity in me
Define me, my dedication lives

Take this life, only you can make it whole again, only you
Take this life, only you can make me whole again, only you can make me whole again

Who am I hiding behind this face
My struggle burns, my faces turn, I pray take this life
Of who I am, who I was, will be
Nothing that ever could be done, would take away integrity in me
Define me, my dedication lives

Eden

Toleration of anything and everyone
One nation under God we stand
Infection I feel myself screaming
Personality, are the reasons for everything

Why can't we all just live
Not denying ourselves of anything
Why are things so attractive
For great is the gap to eden

Religion make no idol before God
Democracy one nation under God
Longevity make no idol before God
Eternity, are the reasons for everything

Th mirror shows what we are
What we see is what we become
What will happen when the mirror breaks
Can I ever walk in the garden

It Has Begun

Time has filled the vessel, the word has come alive
The days that time forgot have begun to take their course
Blessed eyes that told a story, prophetic tongues now claim their voice

It has begun, our time has come

Years, they pass like days, the truth remains the same

Daylight Bleeds

Can you tell me what you see
Can you offer me some help
The situation has turned
And everything's gone with it
I can't explain what it is
But there's something within
I want so much to live
My body has nothing more to give

Daylight bleeds and drowns a good man
If only the sun could fall on the faces of everyone

Eyes separated and distant
From the soul within
The broken vessel's touch
Makes dense the fog
The sun and moon dance again
As the door he opens
Can you tell me what you see
Can you tell me what you believe

Isomorph

Several million faces, watch them spin
A portion burning forever, the others finding a way

Only to be secure in our existence
Only to be the way it is

Organized chaos performing existence
A mere collection of actors, plots constantly changing in turn changing forever

Fear spawns disbelief
Credibility founded on science
If they only knew what they thought they knew
The last star would burn out
