Built to divide We are a flawed design, A different belief is seen as deceit Built to divide Where is the sanctity of human life? We're all the same inside Built to divide Its in our nature To relate all that we hate with the fear of the unknown Without compasion, We just pray for divine intervention Why dont we long to embrace (Embrace our fate) Embrace and coexist Forever recite mistakes (Decide our fate) We'll slowly wither away What are we dying for, To be victims of the war We're all the same inside Are we forsaken, born to die Built to divide We fight for scraps as we wither into dust Turn against your own brother, Tear us apart just to kill one another Turn against your own brother, Tear us apart just to kill one another What are we dying for, To be victims of the war We're all the same inside Are we forsaken, born to die Built to divide The sands of time won't wait for us The sands of time won't wait for us Our bodies will wither into dust We need to understand, The sands of time won't wait for us Our bodies will wither into dust We need to understand, The sands of time won't wait for What are we dying for, An endless war We're all the same inside Are we forsaken, just born to die Built to divide Are we born to die? Are we built to divide? Are we just born to die? The sands of time won't wait for us to decide

Hiruko 04:25
The pressure of the world, So heavy to bare alone (bare alone) Slow decent into the depths With a thousand anchors strapped to chest Pull me out, I can't end up just like the rest Pull me out, Theres thousand anchors strapped to my chest The silent sea, So deafening Take me away (away from here) My only key My sanctuary Take me away (away from me) You take me away from here Deception was my reaction (reaction) But I've held my breath for too long Perilous waves crash against my body, Leaving me shapeless and frail The silence is deafening, I'm drowning in my own head My hands break the air, yours pulling mine I can't swim, you pull me out The silent sea, So deafening Take me away (away from here) My only key My sanctuary Take me away (away from me now) You take me away from here, You take me away I stand on new legs, You hold back the waves No weight, pressure or darkness This is my solace I was shapeless and frail, No bones to hold me high You gave me the strength of a mountain, My only key, my sanctuary I stand on new legs, You hold back the waves No weight, pressure or darkness This is my solace I stand on new legs, You hold back the waves No weight, pressure or darkness This is my solace It is you

Nehemiah 04:14
Hatred, the pestilence of your choice, The motive for your actions Defend the bloodshed of defenseless souls On pretense that they are less than you You hide behind You A cruel disguise Hate defined by pride, a cancer grows inside A faded line between right and wrong, You sit on a throne built on the scars of your soul The careless words decay Your hate defined by pride, a cancer grows inside The anger will betray With no one by your side, a cancer grows inside Slander slips off your tongue with urgency Adiction to segregation, Profanity, your ecstasy Loveless junkie Your hate defined by pride You fucking junkie A cancer grows inside You'd watch them burn alive Burn for differences they cannot hide Its not about whats right, you're just miserable inside Hate defined by pride, a cancer grows inside Self-preservation held above compassion, But in the hours of despair, you stand alone With no one by your side, a cancer grows inside The careless words decay Your hate defined by pride, a cancer grows inside The anger will betray With no one by your side, a cancer grows inside Inside It's inside The careless words decay The cancer, it grows, it grows inside of you The anger will betray Kill this disease or it kills you

Icarus 04:44
There is no taking my hope from me Ascension starts with constancy There is no taking my hope from me Ascension starts with constancy The days I spend creating The blueprints for who I am, Something no one can strip from me Something no one can take There is no taking my hope from me So keep your piece of mind Ascension starts with constancy Blinded by the sunlight Surrender my sight for life So keep your piece of mind Blinded by the sunlight I hold my hope so high So high So you can take my name and call it your own, There's no honor in you, So I will cast the first stone Spit on my face, I'll wash it away, But the truth is you're trapped in your own dreamscape Take my name You're trapped in your own dreamscape Spit on my face You are trapped in your own dreamscape Blinded by the sunlight Surrender my sight for life So keep your piece of mind I'll live my life with Blind hope, blind ambition I hold my hope so high So keep your piece of mind There's more to life than staying close to the ground I'll keep my head in the clouds, With my eyes to the sun I'll keep my head in the clouds I'll chose to believe, The sunlight leaves me too blind to see The sunlight leaves me too blind to see It leaves me too blind to see Blinded by the sunlight Surrender my sight for life So keep your piece of mind I'll live my life with Blind hope, blind ambition I hold my hope so high So keep your piece of mind So keep your piece of mind I'll live my life with Blind hope, blind ambition There is no taking my hope from me So keep your piece of mind Ascension starts with constancy Take my name You're trapped in your own dreamscape Spit on my face You are trapped in your own dreamscape So keep your piece of mind

Akeru 04:38
This is the event horizon The rain brings rising tides We face our last decision Revise or we wait to die This is the event horizon The rain brings rising tides We face our last decision Revise or we wait to die The burning trees bring tears of rain, A black rain of enternal sorrow Drowning in passivity, You can't ignore it now Look at what we've done Look at what we've done Breathe in the water, Or choke on the air Do you feel the devastation? Do you even care? This is the event horizon The rain brings rising tides We face our last decision Revise or we wait to die The flood will drown all we know If we don't change, change the river flow The rain brings rising tides as smoke fills the sky The flood will drown all we know Chemical clouds and plastic oceans We build a future of loss and disease Drowning in passivity, You can't ignore it now Look at what we've done Look at what we've done Let us wash away Bring the flood Bring the flood The flood will drown all we know If we don't change the river's flow The rain brings rising tides as smoke fills the sky The flood will drown all we know I sever the last rose, Place it on my grave Bury us all together Let us wash away The last rose Picked for our grave Bury us all together Let us wash away The last rose Picked for our grave Bury us all together Let us wash away, bring the flood Bring the flood We deserve to drown

Aion 06:59
Create the final lines, not yet written in stone, What lies beyond this point in time, still left unknown Every breath brings me closer to the end of the road, but it's no bother, If life is a story that is waiting to be told, Then I'm the author. Sands of time, leave behind our whispers in the wind Sands of time, leave behind our grace and sins, leave the spirits within Imperfection we hold as fact In a world so conflicted It builds our minds, our bodies react To instincts we've neglected A lifetime, a blink of an eye, A lifetime, born, live, then die Inside us all is a story that might never be told From first sight to last goodbyes What will you leave behind? From first sight to last goodbyes What words will you write? If life is a story that is waiting to be told, Then I'm the author Sands of time, leave behind our whispers in the wind Sands of time, leave behind our grace and sins, leave the spirits within Some build foundations On the ruins the past They die for nations That would never even last A lifetime, a blink of an eye, A lifetime, born, live, then die Inside us all is a story that might never be told We all rejoin the land, We all rejoin the land Sands of time, leave behind our whispers in the wind Sands of time, leave behind our grace and sins, leave the spirits within If life is a story that is waiting to be told, Then I'm the author We all rejoin the land, Our time here, just a grain of sand We all rejoin the land, Our time here, just a grain of sand If life is a story that is waiting to be told, Then I'm the author Sands of time, leave behind our whispers in the wind Sands of time, leave behind our grace and sins, leave the spirits within We all rejoin the land Leave the spirits within
