Monuments 04:21
These deep cracks and fissures They seem to speak to me Monuments ripped apart By sand and debris Of kingdoms, once mighty Now all that remains Are dusty tombs and scriptures All left to rot away This city will crumble before me The wind will howl and earth will shake And all will gather before me Their pride swallowed by decay This city will crumble before me Faces left tired and forlorn Paralyzed and humbled by The fury of the coming storm Self-righteous power hungry But we are not alone What right do they have to be Immortalized in stone Defacing, Erasing All that gave us birth The sea will cleanse us all and Return us to the dirt This city will crumble before me The wind will howl and earth will shake And all will gather before me Their pride swallowed by decay This city will crumble before me Faces left tired and forlorn Paralyzed and humbled by The fury of the coming storm

Anchor 04:28
I squeeze my eyes shut as I Breathe you in In an empty stairwell Graying pavement cracking with contempt I wipe your tears as we Fall to the ground In silence I shout I wish that I had never let you down, let you down Do you carry your grief Close to your heart like a silent anchor beating in your chest And when will we see, Pain is merely here to tell you and me we’re alive When will we just close our eyes and see Do you carry your grief Close to your heart like a silent anchor beating in your chest And when will we see, Pain is merely here to tell you and me we’re alive

The Fall 04:04
Empty words casually hurled through lying teeth Used up self-assurance now Secretly encased in doubt A swagger in your step mistook For confidence All these lies that you spun Will come back to haunt you in the end You still pretend Your fall from grace will be your end, just try it You can’t bury me Afraid to hit the ground I’ll have the last laugh You thought you had on me Callow contorting words Fall on deaf ears All the hands of help have Withdrawn from greedy prying sneers Now the world that you’ve spun is ripped apart Do you truly wish that your lies could come straight from the heart Your fall from grace will be your end, just try it You can’t bury me Afraid to hit the ground I’ll have the last laugh You thought you had on me And all of your, deceitful ways Will be the burden on your back, until you reach the grave

Gloria 04:35
One day we sprang awake to life not as we knew We were just waiting for the quake To break apart the foundation we’d laid for ourselves We had a future at stake And with that final shake it was all gone The structures that we made collapsed How can it end this way, we honestly thought paradise could last One more day We’re sinking on solid ground (Gloria save our lives today) So wipe your tears my child don’t turn back now This city is gonna drown (Gloria, help us find our way) Look to the skies cause who’s gonna save us now And I Know That this could be the end And I know That this could be the end of you and I We’re sinking on solid ground (Gloria save our lives today) So wipe your tears my child don’t turn back now This city is gonna drown (Gloria, help us find our way) Look to the skies cause who’s gonna save us now Gloria, save our lives today Gloria, Help us find our way

End of Days 07:44
We see the break of day, under charcoal skies The ash begins to fall and cloud our eyes And on this bluff we see for miles and miles and miles The jagged hulls of ships that line the coast And will, we know Everlasting peace, when we, lay those to sleep, and when We dream, we feel the sun, shining once again And we, will know Just what it means to reap, what we have sown, I fear this winter wind, will never end Please take my hand and follow me, I’ll lead you to the end The seed was planted in us long ago Fear the other, stick close to your own Those remain divided lay sheltered from the gaze Of a god that couldn’t lift them from the bed that they have made And we, will know Just what it means to reap, what we have sown, I fear this winter wind, will never end Please take my hand and follow me I’ll lead you to the end And we will stand Now united in death Hand in hand we turn and face The truth behind this suicidal race And now we see the end of days
