Lyrics:
We won’t go quiet
We won’t go quiet
Undertow
Though I rose to leave, I could not go
Did it hurt to know?
I tried to, that I tried to
Lesson learned
Build the bridge before you let it burn
I’m not concerned
I just thought I’d hear your voice when I returned
Could it be that you would find me singing still?
When no one will?
When no one will?
Could it be that you would find me singing still?
When no one will?
When no one will?
Could it be that you would find me singing still?
When no one will?
When no one will?
Could it be that you would find me singing still?
When no one will?
When no one will?
We won’t go quiet
And we will be the only ones to have the will
When no one will
When no one will
And we will be the only ones to have the will
When no one will
When no one will

Do Not Go Gentle

Lyrics:
My heart still sings with every single note
And I bled for this, though it was not my own
So let's scream until it tears our throats
And beat our chests red, yelling Alamo
Just say you'll remember
Just say you'll remember me
We'll rage against this dying light
So keep your torch held close to mine
Ignite, and hold it out in the dark
We'll rage against this dying light
So keep your torch held close to mine
Ignite, and hold it out in the dark
No fear (For a dying man
There is no fear for a dying man)
No fear (For a dying man
There is no fear for a dying man)
So let go
I will not spend my dying days
Digging a shallow hole for my own grave
I will not spend my dying days
Digging a shallow hole for my own grave
We won't go quiet
We won't go quiet
We won't go quietly
We'll rage against this dying light
So keep your torch held close to mine
Ignite, and hold it out in the dark
We'll rage against this dying light
So keep your torch held close to mine
Ignite, and hold it out in the dark
No fear, no graves
We go when we say (We say)
No fear, no graves
We go our own way
No fear, no graves
We go when we say (We say)
(No fear, no graves)
No fear, no graves
We go our own way
(When we go, we go our own way)

Longest Road
03:31
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
I never thought forever
Would bear such a heavy load
The path I chose to walk became the longest road
Too far to turn around (Turn around)
And when it ends, a death is owed
Did I survive it all just to die alone?
Too proud to die
(Proud to die)
Too scared to live
(Scared to live)
I’m floating
I’m floating in the in-between
So how long before I know?
I know what it means to be
The last man standing, I refuse to flee
I fear that only the dead are truly free
When the tick-tick-ticking of the clock becomes the enemy
Too proud to die
(Proud to die)
Too scared to live
(Scared to live)
I’m floating
I’m floating in the in-between
So how long (How long?)
Oh, how long before I know?
(How long?)
Before I know
(Before I know)
A shred of light where once was only dark
I’d give my life to defend the spark
Too proud to die
(Proud to die)
Too scared to live
How long? How long?
Will they remember if I go?
How long? How long?
(How long?)
Just say forever and I’ll go
How long? How long?
Will they remember if I go?
How long? How long?
(How long?)
Just say forever and I’ll go

The Struggle Continues
03:48
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
I just know this will be a disaster
Everything always is
Record low 'til the one that comes after
How can I live like this?
The iron will in my heart
Still courses through my veins
But time will test the temper
Of a life against the grain
Can I keep fighting for my whole life?
Swim against unforgiving tides
And I don't know why I even try
'Cause it pulls me back under almost every time
Every time
Taken hostage
This is the only way I know
I've been (fighting for my whole life)
When every step just pulls me in
I always end where I begin
Where I begin
Don't know why I even try
'Cause it pulls me back under almost every time
Trust no man
Love no thing
Curse my heart
And all that goes with it
Every time
Taken hostage
This is the only way I know
I've been (fighting for my whole life)
When every step just pulls me in
I always end where I begin
Where I begin
(It never ends, it never ends)
Leap year
Leap year of discontent
When will
When will the struggle end?
Leap year
Leap year of discontent
When will
When will the struggle ever end?
When will the struggle end?

Mothertongue
02:42
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
White knuckle grip
But I don't know
Am I clinging to this life
Or am I being dragged behind?
War of attrition fought alone
I ground my fingers to the bone
What if I gave everything to this
And I got nothing back?
What was it all for?
What was it all for?
Empty notions, pointless chords
What was it all for?
I lost my self and went without it
Every breath I took was trapped inside my lungs
(Trapped inside my lungs)
I heard a voice inside my head
And now I shout it
(And now I shout it)
It has followed me so far from where I've come
My mothertongue
I saw it all undone
(All undone)
Torn apart what was once was one
I saw it all undone
By calloused hearts and idle hands
An orphaned child
I speak the mothertongue
Shouldn't I have known
(When I was on my own)
Your voice could be
(The noise that brings me home)
When I was on my own
(Shouldn't I have known)
Shouldn't I have known
I tied myself to this
I staked my life on this, I know
(I know)
This is the sinking ship I poured my heart in
But I still carry on the only way I know
What was it all for?
What was it all for?
All for what, was it all for?
All for what?
All for what?
All for what?

Parallel Tracks
02:48
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
Never know it would end like this
I always thought you'd be the one to bring me home
Took one of two roads
Did I somehow miss the warning signs
That lined the way I chose to go?
Oh, can I take it back?
Looking for a second track
Can we try this again?
Now that we know how this one ends
By my side, we're parallel in motion
Even though we know our paths diverge in time
Took one of two roads
And now they're separating
Flip the coin, now you go your way
I'll go mine
Oh, can I take it back?
Looking for a second track
Can we try this again?
Now that we know how this one ends
'Cause I just can't let you go
(I've lost the will to go on)
As it stands
(As it stands, I'm standing still)
(While the world is ending)
The world is ending
Separate
Separate
Separate
(And you go your way)
Separate
(And you go your way)
I'll go mine
And I'll go mine

Lyrics:
This is my course correction
I'm finally here and now
I've got a new direction
'Cause you know I missed the sound
Of a heart in tune
(I will be true to you)
I will be true
Love, unfettered
Undeserved, undeterred
Resilient
Love, unfettered
Undeserved, undeterred
Resilient
For every time that I was ever wrong
(Ever wrong)
There is just one thing that pulls me through
(One thing that pulls me through)
What you give is what you get
(What you get)
What you send out's always coming back to you
Well I tried, and I failed
But I won't turn away
Did you try?
Did you fail?
Did you pick yourself up from defeat?
We spat into the void and we turned our backs
How could we be surprised when the void spat back?
I won't turn my back
I won't turn my back on everything
That I once felt deep in my heart
(In my heart)
Love, unfettered
Undeserved, undeterred
Resilient
Love, unfettered
Undeserved, undeterred
Resilient
For every time that I was ever wrong
(Ever wrong)
There is just one thing that pulls me through
(One thing that pulls me through)
What you give is what you get
(What you get)
What you send out's always coming back to you
And I will always, always be true
And I will always, always be true
And I will always, always be true

The End Is Not Defeat
03:54
|

|
Lyrics:
My whole world crashing down
(Crashing down)
Grasping for the shards
As the fractured fragments fall around me
And when I meet the ground
I can only hope for a sudden death
With nothing left to feast on
Cornered by uncertain circumstance
Eroded by the sands of time
I watched the future slip through my own wrinkled hands
That I don't even recognize
But if you sing these lines back to me
In years to come you'll set me free
I saw the last sail sink
I felt the scale's uneven break
I heard the lamb led to be slain
And I watched the black flag raised
Martyrdom (Martyrdom)
Led not by choice, just left by fate
(Martyrdom)
There can be no retreat, no escape
Yeah, just listen to me
Death is the destination
So raise the black flag high
Raise the black flag
(Death is the destination)
Black flag
So raise the black flag high
And if you sing these lines back to me
In years to come you'll set me free
'Cause when you sing those lines to me
I know, I know
That if you sing these lines back to me
In years to come you'll set me free
'Cause when you sing those lines to me
I know the end is not defeat
And if you sing these lines back to me
In year to come you'll set me free

Lyrics:
As a light in the dark
Impermanent, flickering against the night
As above, so below
And that which starts must also go
Words unwound, time expired
And that which shouldered flame can no longer fire
Discard the tar from my blackened skin
Dig out the wick from deep within
From my back to your hearts
From my back to your hearts
The flame is yours now
The flame is yours now
The flame is yours now
And I won't go 'til I
See it all aglow, 'til I
Until I know, 'til I
I see you all aglow, 'til I
('til I)
('til I)
('til I)
('til I)
Transcend impermanence
Descend
Brilliant
Grow

Introduction to the End
03:29
|

|
Lyrics:
I can't imagine a life
Without you now
'Cause I would not know
Without you now
Without you now
Where do I go?
Without you now
Without you now
'Cause I would not know
Without you now
Without you now
Where do I go?
Undertow
Though I rose to leave I could not....
Undertow
Though I chose to leave
It hurts, I know
Tell me: did you grow?
'Cause I tried, I tried to
Lesson learned
When the match is gone the flame still burns
I'm not concerned
I just know I'll hear your voice when I return
(We won't go quiet)
Without you now
(We won't go quiet)
Without you now
