1. Virtue Signal

The right of protest by stealth was suppressed
Self-censorship, denial
And in spite of reason, all bow to treason
False rhetoric, mistrial

These walls we build won't stem the tide

The righteous rule the air
But I know they don't care
In outrage feign despair
The virtue seekers dare

And if truth is abstract, your thoughts will contract
To replicate, conform
So cry in silence, words can't be violent
Just get a grip, reform

These walls we build won't stem the tide

The righteous rule the air
But I know they don't care
In outrage feign despair
The virtue seekers dare
With every word released
Slick forgery repeats
Entitled in defeat
The virtue seekers preach

These walls we build won't stem the tide
The righteous rule the air
But I know they don't care

The righteous rule the air
But I know they don't care
In outrage feign despair
The virtue seekers dare
With every word released
Slick forgery repeats
Entitled in defeat
The virtue seekers preach
The righteous rule the air
But I know they don't care
In outrage feign despair
The virtue seekers dare

2. What Dreams May Come

Sun towards the light again
And seek the comfort of a friend
Let it be
Heaven could never be heaven without you
Lost in me
Heaven could never be heaven without you

Failures plague me
What I should have given
No worthless values
Let this hell be our heaven

Sometimes when you win, you lose
What's true in our minds is true
It's so unjust, these lives undone
In sleep of death what dreams may come

So onwards you may pursue
The chase of closure driving you
Set it free
Heaven could never be heaven without you
Here with me
Heaven could never be heaven without you

Saviors scold me
From depths I have risen
A human life is just a heartbeat in heaven

Sometimes when you win, you lose
What's true in our minds is true
It's so unjust, these lives undone
In sleep of death what dreams may come

3. Heretic In The Modern World

We're born in killing fields
Long perished of ideals
And left to wallow in denial

You'll vow to speak no evil
Instead there's no reprieval

So this is how my fate unfurled
A heretic in the modern world
I stood alone and took the threats they hurled
Like a heretic in the modern world

You're taught to reap the yields
With all the exits sealed
Arrest the sorrow in decay

The ends will seek primeval
Mislead beyond retrieval

So this is how my fate unfurled
A heretic in the modern world
I stood alone and took the threats they hurled
Like a heretic in the modern world

No feelings, you're kneeling
False dealing, life stealing

So this is how my fate unfurled
A heretic in the modern world
I stood alone and took the threats they hurled
Like a heretic in the modern world
In crimson flow the hate returned
A heretic in the modern world
We stood alone as the mute observed
Just a heretic in the modern world

4. Parachute

Street lights along the highway
Throwing shadows in the dark
And the memories keep on turning
To the rhythm of a broken heart

You only need a roof when it's raining
You only need a fire when it's cold
You only need a drink when the whiskey
Is the only thing that you have left to hold
Sun comes up and goes back down
And falling feels like flying till you hit the ground
Say the word and I'll be there for you
Oh, maybe I will be your parachute
Parachute

There's a song that I remember
I never learned to play
And a lifetime of forgotten words
I never got to say

You only need a roof when it's raining
You only need a fire when it's cold
You only need a drink when the whiskey
Is the only thing that you have left to hold
Sun comes up and goes back down
And falling feels like flying till you hit the ground
Say the word and I'll be there for you
Oh, maybe I will be your parachute
Parachute
That's right

If you think you're going down
Just know I will be around

You only need a roof when it's raining
You only need a fire when it's cold
You only need a drink when the whiskey
Is the only thing that you have left to hold
Sun comes up and goes back down
And falling feels like flying till you hit the ground
Say the word and I'll be there for you
Oh, maybe I will be your
Oh, maybe I will be your parachute
Parachute

5. Under No Illusions

Taste a glimpse of triumph
And trap the innocent desire
If you're in, there's no return

Face the odds defiant
Reach for the virulence required
Without a guide, which way to turn?

The clock it ticks on this parade
The gauntlets down this is no game
I still see it in my dreams

Still I'm falling up
As I find my way
Yet it's all the same

I am Under no illusions
I've waited for the tide to turn
Fought a path through these delusions
Let it slide to find my way
Find my way

Rise to break the silence
Crash through the dissonant veneer
Search within, the lesson learnt

The will to fight on this crusade
No shortcuts found no one to blame
I still feed it with these schemes

Are you stalling yet
Like you fall astray
But it's all the same

I am Under no illusions
I've waited for the tide to turn
Fought a path through these delusions
Let it slide to find my way
Find my way

All Now Must See
The game serves rigged decision
Walls Stand Unseen
Must make a bold incision
Fall Down For Me
I'll aim with clear precision
Steal Victory
Stay true to honest vision

I am Under no illusions
I've waited for the tide to turn
Fought a path through these delusions
Let it slide to find my way
Find my way

6. Down And Out

What is a test of virtue?
The standards we must find

Instead the shackles hurt you
But never dealt in kind

Dealt in kind

Stern are the eyes that search you
To measure your design

Alone with jackals turn to
The depths you'll search inside

Search inside

Down and Out
No small mercy found
It's like life conspires to confound
Down and Out
Just the worthy crowned
But for those outsiders no rebound
You'll stay
Down and Out
No rules the flock desert you
With slander always primed

It's like they never heard you
Your status is declined

Now declined

Down and Out
No small mercy found
It's like life conspires to confound
Down and Out
Just the worthy crowned
But for those outsiders no rebound
You'll be
Down and Out

Down and Out
No small mercy found
It's like life conspires to confound
Down and Out
Just the worthy crowned
But for those outsiders no rebound
Only
Down and Out

7. The Lights Are Going Out

Brought upon a blessing or curse
Soldiers prevailed and have been dispersed
Far off echoes carry their weight
Hold to conviction, but devoured the same

Hard truths are seldom spoken

The longer you'll breath, the more that you'll fear
The lights are going out round here
Which way to turn when obstacles hide
The lights are going out inside

Once we could see, the warnings were clear
The lights are going out round here
Why do we wait, when sealed is out fate
The Lights are going out too late

They're going out

Vexed instead, the graceless emerge
The generals remembered but had been impaired
Cries of laughter hasten their fate,
Told to be silent, while the elders debate

Hard truths are seldom spoken

The prophets awoke, the message appeared
The lights are going out round here
Which way to turn? when barriers guide,
The Lights are going out inside

Once we could see, the warnings were clear
The lights are going out round here
Why do we wait, when sealed is out fate
The Lights are going out too late

8. The Bitter Truth

Look, I found the answer
Now there is no transfer
It was right before my eyes
I've got to share this knowledge
Just got to fight this prophage
I never once stepped out of line

Out of line

No Looking back
But in the end it brings you down
It's the bitter truth
For your thoughts unused
Struggle to accept
But these things you cannot change
It's the bitter truth
So don't mourn the fools
The bitter truth

See, No one will listen
Destroy your position
Find it hard to see the signs
You see you've just embodied
Battered, beat and bloodied
It's better if left out of sight
Out of sight
Can't turn away
So in denial you struggle on
It's the bitter truth
But it's all confused
Tried every cause
But some minds are cast in stone
It's the bitter truth
Only time you'll lose
The bitter truth

I never once stepped out of line
Out of line

No Looking back
But in the end it brings you down
It's the bitter truth
For your thoughts unused
Struggle to accept
But these things you cannot change
It's the bitter truth
So don't mourn the fools
The bitter truth

9. Until The Shadows Fall

In days now spent, time still laments
The things we thought we'd represent
Forsaken this life had given to me
Promise of loss unto misery

If I could only see the way
But now it feels I am

Falling, I can't hold on
The loss carries on
Until the shadows fall
Until there'll be no
Crawling, bury me now
In silence somehow
Until the shadows fall
Until there's no remorse

In days still left, it feels like theft
To drive our lives into ruin and distress
Mistaken I knew not hidden in me
Solace of fear unto sympathy

If I could only see the way
Or had the words to say
But I am surely free to stay
But now it feels I am

Falling, I can't hold on
The loss carries on
Until the shadows fall
Until there'll be no
Crawling, bury me now
In silence somehow
Until the shadows fall
Until there's no remorse

10. Rise Then Fall

The search is on, it never ends
Calls to you
With reach beyond to fake amends
Pouring through
The callous minds grow day by day
Painting your desires
Whatever malice comes my way
Dressed up in denial

They rise then fall
Too much, too soon
Can't conquer all of the time
They rise then fall
Too short, too late
None will recall
It's your mistake

Nowhere facade, it only trends
Swallows you
If I respond, the light transcends
End dispute
The shallow time found in your way
Reaching those required
Forever shut out what you say
Sentient transpires

They rise then fall
Too much, too soon
Can't conquer all of the time
They rise then fall
Too short, too late
None will recall
It's your mistake

They rise then fall
Too much, too soon
Can't conquer all of the time
They rise then fall
Too short, too late
None will recall
It's your mistake

11. Steal The Faith In Me

Long winters fall
It is the edge of deliverance
The edge of us all

These are the days of surrender and flight
The futile forever with vengeance in sight

Steal The Faith in Me
My Mind Goes Blank
Deal the blame for Real
It Turns to Black

And seasons wain
To stretch the arm of forgiveness
This Pledge to Remain

Freed are the slaves to render and fight
This longing agenda with ascendance and might

Steal The Faith in Me
My Mind Goes Blank
Deal the blame for Real
It Turns to Black
Steal the faith in Me
My Conscience Calls
Real the hate in Deep
I turn my back

On and on the sirens rage
Fear is our best hope now
The stage is set the final bow
