Pillars we once built,
Fall on our necks
The sculptures that were our pride,
Lay now in pieces at our feet
What will you hold on to,
When nothing holds back?
What will you call the truth,
When everything you know is proven wrong?
We reached for the moon,
We reached for the sun
We reached into emptiness
Never reaching,
For each other
So we became empty ourselves
Now destined to wither and die
Beyond the line that needs crossing,
We won’t be heartless anymore
Beyond the line that needs crossing,
There is a place we'll never reach
You see,
Life is our marble
And we,
We are the sculptors
The shapes of our dreams won't form
By themselves
Recreate
Recreate
You hold the answers in your hands
Recreate
You Are,
You're more than this, you're more than this
Recreate
Guide the helpless, guide the blind
Recreate
Now destined to live,
Forevermore

Holding a dying spark
A piece of past me,
Of what used to be
A relic, a reminder
All that is left,
Left to treasure
A frequent effect
Colors that flash in my eyes
Do you feel,
A resonant heartbeat
When serenade fades away
A frequent effect
Colors that flash in my eyes
I should know,
I'm just a ghost,
Of what I used to be
Seeking for a thrill,
An empty well that just won’t fill
Slept on railroads,
Walked on edge
Slept on railroads,
Walked on edge
These streets,
They sing a melody
Creating a perfect harmony
These waters,
They scream for me
Drawing me into the deep
Holding a dying spark
Standing
By the wayside
I’m a ghost nothing more
Watching
While life passes by
I’m a ghost nothing more
It's so cold it hurts
It's so cold it burns
So I’ll just stand by the wayside,
(waysides)
Watching my life pass me by
It's so cold it burns
The journey seems too long
It's so cold it hurts
And my feet already bleed

The cycle
The curse
Beholder
What do you see?
The cycle,
The curse
All living,
So lifeless
Mass-corrosion
Decomposition
This world,
bound by compulsion
Why would I feed the hate,
Dispose of condolence?
What will you do,
When all composure is extinct?
Devotion,
For abiding torment
Allegiance,
For misleading
The cycle,
The curse
Set it to an end
Serenity prevails
The cycle,
The curse
Set it to an end
Serenity prevails

Turn back the current
What good would it do?
What difference would it make?
Take us back where we died
Again we would,
We would let the water run
Can you hear the sirens singing their song?
This cold horizon calling me home?
As the ocean swallows me whole,
The memory of you is the only light I know
Take my hand, guide me home
I am a shipwreck, my sails are torn
Pulled right down, anchorbound
Watch the depths conceal me now
Rusted, abandoned,
a slave to time
My hourglass turns once more
Seafloor as my grave
I hear your voice here,
Inside my head
Those eyes deceive me
Taking my breath away
I'm anchored in this bay of broken thoughts
What good would it do?
What difference would it make?
To turn back the current
Again we would let the water run
Taking us where we both died
The open seas, the raging tempest
Trapped in time to row the oars
Never to make headway
Trapped in time to row the oars
Never to make it home
This is my calling
This is my reckoning
