Looking back at what once was Homes and hardships was the good life We were all as one, held together by trust Only to be broken apart Stripped from our armour, no hope now Brace for the cold Our time is now and here To help make a difference in this world There's no hope of change Without sacrifice These days unfold into weeks We must excel ourselves and progress We are the key to the door We must progress, never degress For we are the key My warmth has gone with the eastern skies No one to shine their light into these lonely nights Separated by borders, and they are too high to climb If we are to find a common ground Where we can share our thoughts and share our sounds These walls must be shattered Torn down to the ground We can pursue ambitions of the brightest days Take my hand to bridge this feeling We can unite a crown worn by all This world is ours My warmth has gone with the eastern skies No one to shine their light into these lonely nights Separated by borders, and they are too high to climb As winter strips my shelter, I'm left unearthed to the bitter cold Take my hands, lead me somewhere I can see the sky

After all these years I'm struggling to see the brighter side When every day another failure is the footprint I leave I will remain the lion at heart Coming to terms with a force outside my control This life right now is my only constant And I will defend it with everything I am And everything I have inside So as you turn and run from me I just want you to see I'm already far from here I left you to choke while you refuse to hear Only with compassion can you finally breathe Living for that GBP must make you feel so poor I'm trying to find some common ground But your ignorance keeps you bound I'm so let down I'm so let down But I remain the lion After all these years I'm struggling to see the brighter side When every day another failure is the footprint I leave I will remain the lion at heart Coming to terms with a force outside my control This life right now is my only constant And I will defend it with everything I am I remain the lion Strong and undefeated A life ruled by the weight of your wallet is no life at all But I remain the lion at heart (Will I remain the lion at heart?)

Stronghold 02:56
We've all got our stronghold A place where we can feel safe Those unforgettable memories We can hold close and never forget Let them inside; those who truly care They'll find hope you've lost I'll cut the cord, pave the path So we can savour these days That make us who we truly are Scream it to them all; 'My world is golden' These motives pull me through For reasons I'll never know Feeling the struggle of these inflictions They send me in wrong directions But I'll keep on searching We can hold close and never forget Let them inside; those who truly care Overcoming of myself It seems some days are gone in a heartbeat Others seem to just stick and stay But I'll endure these struggles Just to feel the sun on my face My world is golden

"From the bits and pieces i've put together you know from what you told me about your family ~your Mother and your Dad, and I know You've got your problems with the church too, but there's some kind of bigger thing we can all appreciate, and it sounds like you don't mind calling it God, but when you forgive, you love"

Pale Shades 05:11
I gave everything Held out in open palms These blossoms devoured But they always remain My eyes are heavy In the dead of the night Pacing empty streets of silence This was once a forest of life I showed you the branches Of my willow heart You wrenched it open exposing the roots A reminder forever engraved That day you hid under the dirt When you shut your eyes to the light we shared I found a strength inside These cold hands wait for the warmth Of your last reassuring words For the first time in my life The sun has gone Darker than ever before But when the A.M. haze seems endless Know the sun is only in waiting Ready to shine, to bring a new morning, to bring everything to light I close my eyes But still I wake I wait for time to stop So far away The echoes of my past begin to fade I see the pale shades of morning

My friend You are hurting I see the pain in your eyes You walk hand in hand with a self demise A constant fight between love and hatred You fear this fight will be soon be lost But this lesson learnt in time is now created These paths we take may overlap The things we learn will bring us closer Destroy this divide between us On days your heart looks to sink to the depths But your eyes hold the chalice so you can raise your head I hope you can see this light soon Don't encourage their bad intentions Fuck your reputation Because you are the better man With strength, grace of Gods We can reignite each others hearts Holding out a hand to you I extend the promise With strength, grace of Gods We can reignite each others hearts I extend the promise And the wind will still carry you on Through the storms that found you Keeping you warm I will be there too see you through And the wind still carries you on Light as a feather now Free from this Now you're whole Everyone goes through their tribulations It's time to pick yourself up and think This is only a state of mind So go on and save yourself
