Grey Skies Fallen Molded by Broken Hands 1. A Twisted Place in Time In this age of madness The darkness settles in A different kind of being Another way of seeing Everything is twisted And logic is resisted Refuters of the science A misguided alliance When the truth becomes conflicted Reality has shifted Disturbance in the distance Altering existance And we will come to find That everything has changed Silence for the old times What's infesting our minds? Instead of marching forward We have been standing still Backwards in most cases It's a bitter pill, in fact It's twisted. This place in time Yes, it's twisted. This place in time Witnessing a new world Being born before our eyes Severing the ties This wasn't meant to be Hoping it's a dream Where nothing's as it seems 2. Molded by Broken Hands Pain envelops his soul He cries to the heavens above Rage begin to take hold And nothing, save vengeance will make him feel whole The way the weak, a coward's retreat Pointing the finger at everyone else but himself A sign of the times, when will enough be enough? How much of your young must you entomb Before you all open your eyes? The seeds were sown Long before Just had we known All along Fear encases his mind He stares at the sun as he screams Which renders him blind On through the night He scratches his meaningless words across pages of time The way of the weak, a coward's retreat Of course he realizes he's not only hurting himself A sign of the times, isn't enough now enough? How much of your blood must you all spill And why won't you open your eyes? Open your eyes! It takes more than your empty words To bring about real change Your cries, your payers go unheard Bickering still, what is to gain? As the bodies grow cold Choose not to see You've got your heads in the sand The signs have always been there Been molded by broken hands The way of the weak, a coward's retreat Now that he issued his judgement, he's ended himself A sign of the times, it seems that enough's not enough How much of your life must you all lose How long 'til you open your eyes? 3. No Place for Sorrow Is it true when they say Try to live every day As though it were your last Once you do, you will find You'll achieve peace of mind It starts by letting go of your past Leave it behind There's no place for sorrow I've been hiding all my life Just a prisoner to my memories Feel the need to make it right I cannot have this be my destiny This ends tonight Struggled at times To break the ties that bind Shaken and torn, it's not the time to mourn Rise up and scream, bring sorrow to it's knees I've been twisted back to form Stronger now to fight my enemies Keep on weathering the storm It's me who gets to write my legacy This ends tonight Struggled at times To break the ties that bind Shaken and torn, it's not the time to mourn Rise up and scream, bring sorrow to it's knees It is true I can say That I live every day Without a thought of the past It is gone. It's denied I have cast it aside Without any doubt, it must last Leave it behind There's no place for sorrow 4. I Can Hear Your Voice I feel the walls are closing in The pounding in my chest is unrelenting Uncomfortable inside my skin These thoughts racing through my mind I just need to pass the time I know it lies so deep within The reason my pain is never-ending There's no escaping this 'til I begin Accepting that I will not thrive I want to live, not just survive The pressure I am feeling The noise inside my head Incapable of of healing There are times I wish that I was Standing pn the precipice of life Trying just to catch my breath Eliminate the source of all the strife I just want to be ordinary I never felt right to begin Season after season There has to be a reason Life's a game U cannot win This nightmare, the bane of my existance The pressure I am feeling The noise inside my head Incapable of healing Just languishing and suffering instead I can hear your voice I'm breathing, the air is flowing in Seeing things clearer now Until the next one knocks me back again Repetition is wearing thin When I'm in the grips, on the firing line I hope I hear your voice one more time 5. Cracks in Time Raise your eyes Internalize The winter chill puts cracks in time Demons rise They come tonight Crawling out up through the grime Steadfast, diligent Headstrong, vigilant We have ice in our vein Facing enemies Unknown before this We'll be laying them all to waste Burn the warlocks away Burn the witches Purify Rationalize Then blame away Twist the knife so deep inside Stoke the flames And feed the fire Burn it all to the ground End of servitude There's no solitude We are taking it all away You've no common sense There are no regrets We would do this again Stake the flames Feed the fire Burn it all to the ground And see their kingdom fall Coldness puts cracks in time 6. Save Us We're wasting our time once again Our suffering means nothing to them Depsite what we're told to our face They keep us tied down in our place In searching for ways to escape We realize and accept our fate It's part of their plan to destroy Made clear by the tactics employed There's no escaping We're in their sights A meager resistance We're dead to rights This information is insincere Manipulation of our fears The path to freedom It won't come cheap A violent uprising The cost is steep This information is insincere Manipulation of our fears I can't see a time Where we hold our future in our hands We can't use our minds With our heads buried in the sand Buried in the sand It's no way of living Offering their hand We take what they're giving I can see it's looking grim There's no fight inside Nor is there loss of life and limb We've given up, we've already died Save us From the madness And the torment We have lost it all From deep down inside We must gain the strength, and the will to rise Cos' Only we can Save us from this place Where we only know what they've told us Forever 7. Knowing That You're There When I lie awake I think of you And I am overcome with emotion While thinking what to do The only thing I can provide to you Is guidance, and hope that you remain In this world you know You have your word That you would see things through Yes it's hard to see Through the clouds that fill the skies In the darkest times I can see the light is in your eyes Fight for your survival It takes all you have I'll welcome your arrival Back from the depths Life is fleeting It's not fair Though I feel better Just knowing that you're there 8. Severing the Soul With good intentions And open arms You were welcomed Depsite my qualms So undeserving I can see it now It was this betrayal That sent me down Into the otherwise unknown Searching for a sign There has to be some hope Some way that I might find What I need I see you can't provide Because when I bleed You always seem to hide Steadfast and determined Until my final breath My loyalties cannot be questioned I lay it on the line The same cannot be said for you With visions of my death I get the feeling on the inside The trust is gone Extinguished like a flame I'm severing the soul Because the wounds in my back Have yet to close I am severing the soul Remove the blade And make me whole I feel much better right now No whispering in my ear Don't need your validation I see it all so clear
