- All or Nothing
I am the sum of all that I have done
I'm haunted by these inactions
And what I've become
I'd give everything to feel nothing at all!
How could I have come so far to forget where I've come from
I risked my life for this
- An Oath
I swear to be alive for the rest of my life
Take it back - from the life that lead me astray
I choose to shed my skin, and free myself from this cage
This cage of memories
They're nothing but pain and illusion
They are not who I am - I am who you see!
- Angel City Gamble
The Struggle!
Resistance on the heels of our climb
But without struggle we'll never learn to rise!
Above and see beyond the preconceived
What's in front of your eyes is only lies
...Unless you choose to believe!
BREAK AWAY!
- Before the Break of Dawn
Lift me out of this struggle
Lift me out on the other side
with all these signs of a trial
nothing will keep it open
suicides and murder are revolting
the day has changed it's through
Lift up your memories
- Beneath The Surface
Judged by appearance, and misspoken words
Not the content of one's character, just by what you heard
Have you heard of rumors?
Some clash with lies
One degrades another out of despite
Inhumanity
[chant:] how can one
- City Limits
You made a deal with the devil in the city of angels
You'd give anything for just one taste of it
You've lost reality for what you dreamt up
You'd do anything to create your legacy
So be careful what you wish for
It could cost you everything
- Divided
You’re torn inside
You don’t know which voice to believe
Indecision will leave you with nothing
Why even try when you think you know all the answers?
When you just sit there rotting away
Do you know the difference between knowledge
And understanding?
- Echoes of An Era
In these desperate days where anything goes
We must take back control of this world
This is our time and the time is now
These are the echoes of an era
Remove the barriers – tear this place down
We will succeed where our ancestors failed
Their decline is the start of our rise
- Hester prynne
Your vision of a new life was impure
Gave into temptation and threw away what you believed
Your immaculate state of mind was only temporary
Your faults your flaws got the best of you
Your commitment, your pledge to another human being
Was destoryed through curiosity
Your goal in life is far out of reach
- In Dying Days
Leaders are hard to come by,
followers are omnipresent.
Satisfied with a mediocre lifestyle
Satisfied!
No one is setting a path for us to follow,
no ones striving to be on top.
No one is setting a path for us to follow
we will all fall in the end.
- In Honor
We are the ones that fight for freedom
United we stand
We walk through hell for you
And we are (we are) the protectors
Risking everything we have
Who will you look to when everything you know
Starts to crumble?
- Instinct
I knew that this was the last thing
This was the last thing that I had to prove
Have all my struggles amused you?
This was the hardest thing to do
I chewed through the chains
With broken teeth in my mouth I was finally free
Free in my own mind (free in my own mind)
But I was always trapped inside
- King of Thieves
Reclaim the kingdom that we all have built!
With our own calloused and broken hands
We've tried (WE'VE TRIED!) to mend the cracks
But it's slowly becoming a erect dystopia
...Like leeches extracting from the harvest
Depleting our resources
They keep taking away!
- Legacy
This procession goes on and on
Disillusion is getting the best of me, but still I try
And I try – with all that I have only to find that
I’m digging my own grave now
Where I finally sleep under the legacy of
The undying obsolete
This won’t be the end and I will change this position
Where I have no control
- Legends Never Die
A contribution made
A man-made self brigade
An imposition of that's dwelled
And hospitality far from reality
Casts neglecting yourself
And in the process of these lies
Heroes never live, legends never die
- My Fears Have Become Phobias
A mass suppression depressed by life unsure what he's to live for.
But then away came the better days when life opened its new doors.
Struggling for a way every day to live life not to fail but succeed.
Over coming on overwhelming load of power and greed.
Break the chains!
That grab ones soul!
Break These Chains!
- Reborn
Undo the chains of the past that are holding you back
Reclaim all that has been taken away from you
Deconstruct the walls in your mind that are making you blind
Break free from negativity that will shadow your life
Search for a reason to change
Life reveals itself when the decision is made
To move on and let go
- Resist
We will overcome, we will overcome
Climb this mountain we face
We'll push through everything
Without
Without a reason to move
There is no living
Resist, resist the forces that drain
We carve our own path
- Survival Rites
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
Are you surprised to find that I'm still alive?
You wanted to see me dead but I survived
You best believe there's no honor among these thieves
Hell yeah, you know that I'll stand up and
- The Beautiful Mistake
I look into the eyes of a broken heart pride thats made of stone
Why am I destroyed by love, what made your self so cold?
Is it the darkness that covers yourself black?
This isn't the girl I know who stabbed me in the back
Facing you, your words like a gun,
One shot when you speak so pull the trigger and aim at me
I'm stuck in the middle of a cross fire,
Breaking me down is what you desire
- The Brighter Side Of Suffering
A struggle of change that is made
A wrinkle in time, battle of the brave
Fighting for hope of one's beliefs
Deceiving thought planted in minds
When hell freezes over will come the time
That one's point will have been made
There's shattered thoughts, and broken dreams
Wasted lives all for the brighter side of suffering
- Я тоже жду чуда
Leaders are hard to come by, followers are omnipresent
Satisfied with a mediocre lifestyle
Satisfied
No one is setting a path for us to follow
No one's striving to be on top
No one is setting a path for us to follow we will all fall in the end
In dying days
