The time approaches
For............
This is the voice of the voiceless
We have learned by making choices
After persecution and delution
We have severed this illution
To build our foundation on natural elements to preserve life
We will rise, this babylon

FALL!!!!

Chanting inspiration for the righteous
Dislocation from the social order
Kingdoms will rise to power
But kingdoms fall to dust
Fall, Fall

FALL!!!!!

Chanting inspiration for the righteous
Dislocation from the social order................Rise
Kingdoms will rise to power
But kingdoms fall to dust
Fall, Fall

FALL!!

The ashes of the dead will be a sign
The time approaches
No one hear you cry from Babylon
The time approaches

Arms raised
Eyes Gazed
Tongues of fire whisper
This life
Will Soon
Slip Away

Fall

Babylon
your days are numbered
The time.............
The time approaches

Arms raised
Eyes Gazed
Tongues of fire whisper
This life, Will Soon
Slip Away
Fall
Babylon, you will fall
Your days are numbered
The time approaches
No One hear you cry as you fall
Fall, fall

FALL!!!!!!!


. . .


I can't comprehend society's movement
The regression of human existence
This is the quest of life
Fulfill your destiny
Slow down the fast paced world
And you will see past the illusion
Breaking the foundation
Collapse the control
Building a revolution to heal nations
It starts within you
In this search for I and I the truth is always deep inside
(Reversal of oneself finding the truth)
This is the quest of life
We must find the strength for a new movement
Slow down this fast paced world and you will see the revolution
For a new movement

. . .


Fixation on the darkness that engulfs this world
Drain the life force of our people,
Change, Change, Fixation on the darkness that engulfs this world
Drain the life force of our people
Return to the womb (New life) lay your head to rest (Mercy)
To give you a peace of mind lay your head to rest

Come together inside, This body is only a shell, Change
The only way we will survive light transfiguration of the soul
Of the soul, Of the mind
Fixation on the darkness that engulfs this world, Drain the life force of our people

Return to the womb(New life) lay your head to rest (Mercy)
to give you a piece of mind lay your head to rest

Tell them, They will not hold us down, Its time for change, Change
Its time for change, Change
Its time for change, They will not hold us down, They will not hold us down
Its time for change, Its time for change

. . .


This revelation is the death of ignorance
Tangled in a state of suffocation
Slave to self righteousness
Damnation is on your lips

From sorrow to serenity, the truth is absolution,
From sorrow to serenity, its on your head

This is my last serenade
I feel you as you fall away
This is my last serenade
From yourself you can't run away

It's your choice, Point the finger
But it's on your head
Your destination is a choice within yourself
Will you rise or become a slave
To self righteousness
Open up your heart and gaze within

. . .


Humanity cover me with the ashes of remembrance
I will learn from this pain
There is no darkness without light to teach us of ourselves
Life to lifeless to eternity, Life to lifeless the cycle repeats
Death unfolds itself painfully to unmask how fragile we are
Death unfolds itself painfully, Teacher of sanity
The pain drags me down
I'll rebuild me


. . .


Decend into hysteria
Chaos of mankind
But who is listening
To the voice of hatrerd?
Tortured souls lost
So completely lost
Weakened in the cencept of decline, Deception

Are we alive, Or just breathing?
Don't close your eyes, See the images
Are we alive, Or just breathing?
Don't close your eyes, See the images

The skies weep tonight
Our bodies washed away
I am waiting for you
Deliverance
The sun falls through the clouds
Hear my cry

The skies weep tonight
Our bodies washed away
I am waiting for you
Deliverance
The sun falls through the clouds
Hear my cry

I am waiting for

. . .


You, Son of man, I am here as a witness
You, Son of man, Can't you see what burns inside me?
This fire will consume as the flames purify
With the peace that passes understanding, This is my outcry
From dust to dust we will return
The flesh is temporary, The soul is eternal

I am here as a witness, Can't you see this fire purifies
This fire will consume (This fire will consume)
As the flames purify (As the flames purify)
Son of man, Can't you see?
Son of man, You can't save yourself

. . .


Make me feel serenity when all is
Revealed so easy to look back in life and question
But I must seek to find the strength to push forward (forward)
Forward, I want to see what's so beautiful inside
As we drink of life

Make me feel serenity when all is
Revealed so easy to look back in life and question
But I must seek to find the strength to push
Forward (Forward)
Forward, I want to see what's so beautiful inside
As we drink of life

Eternal absolve me through your suffering
Teach me to inscribe these words
On my heart cover me with the shadow
Of your hand I will not loose myself
I in everything that tears me down
Because you stand by me
No one to blame for my transgressions
No one to blame but myself

. . .


Torn disbelieving separation
I close my eyes to see you
This is for you, Everything i am
This is for you, Take it from me
Torn disbelieving separation
I close my eyes
But there is no escaping this
In your arms in your soul
I will be rejuvenation
Breathe me in
I am forever
Deep within I am eternal
I will return to you
I am with you always
I will never turn away from you

. . .


I have opened my eyes to see the world that surrounds me daily
I refuse to be led by the majority can't compromise I and I to pass judgement
Judgement will be passed upon you I will stand up for who I am never moved
By condemnation no one is placed higher than another no matter race
Or creed or gender we must teach forgiveness and compassion for all life
Through understanding of our differences we will find respect for one
Another we are all flesh and blood I am not afraid to speak my mind no matter
The consequences stay true to myself through the humble eyes of a child
We will realize true equality they cannot take me from me
They cannot take you from you they cannot take I from I

Without A Name

[No lyrics]

. . .


Rise inside
Free your mind
Raise your fist
To signify
We stand in defiance
Of hatred and deception
If I stand alone
I will fight for you

The time has come to
Make a difference
Why have we forsaken love
The time has come to
Raise our voices
So rise up and fight with me

Embrace what we have
It might be the last time
In this life we will rise
If we find the strength to unify

Hatred is a weakness
You become the victim

I believe love will overcome

Time has come to
Make a difference
Why have we forsaken one another
The time has come to
Raise our voices
So rise up and fight with me

The time has come
To rise inside



. . .


Separation from the faceless majority step on the outside
Look on the inside tear tear it apart, A prisoner only in your own mind
Individuality will bring you life time to rise above to freedom
So much love lost, What have we become rise against the oppresion,
Resist and question burn the system kill the system kill the mindstate
Of indifference step into the unblind reclaim your life

. . .


Take comfort in these words
You are not alone, there is a purpose
Through the loneliness, depression
This is not in vain
Through the tribulation, find redemption
This is not in vain
The frustration we've endured
The struggle continues
Don't let them drag you down
Keep your eyes wide open
Don't let them drag you down
Keep your focus unbroken
Take refuge in these words
There comes a day for retribution
Through the loneliness, depression
This is not in vain
Through the tribulation, find redemption
This is not in vain
Don't let them drag you down
Keep your eyes wide open
Don't let them drag you down
Keep your focus unbroken
I hope you feel the balance is broken
Balance is broken

Fixation on the darkness
That engulfs this world
Drain the life force of our people
Change
Change
Fixation on the darkness
That engulfs this world
Drain the life force of our people

Return to the womb (new life)
Lay your head to rest (mercy)
To give you a piece of mind
Lay your head to rest

Come together inside
This body is only a shell
Change
The only way we will survive
Light
Transfiguration of the soul
Of the soul
Of the mind
Fixation on the darkness
That engulfs this world
Drain the life force of our people

Return to the womb (new life)
Lay your head to rest (mercy)
To give you a piece of mind
Lay your head to rest

Tell them
They will not hold us down
It's time for change
Change
It's time for change

They will not hold us down
They will not hold us down
It's time for change
It's time for change
