The Skies Above Eternity

Hold Up Your Hearts (Again)

[Verse 1]
Growing up on melting wings
The truth will out, I’ve cut my strings
But still I hope that father time
Keeps memories of me
If I point to starboard
To the clouds above the sea
Through the daring heights and darker skies
I ache to sail free

[Pre-Chorus]
So we’ll embark
Oh we’ll set sail again (Sail again)
Dawn, dusk or dark, you’ll
Carry us over the wailing ocean
We’ll make a mark on all
Each and every tidal pull we sail on

[Chorus]
Hold up your hearts again
Return to days from then
Glory abounds in every soul that seeks the truth
Now we tell our tales with mighty songs
All for the hearts herе, just beating along

[Verse 2]
I barely remеmber
The person who I spent
Half a life avoiding and
The other half pretending to be
If I spin a tale
Of growing up and growing free
I can live within the sea of who I
Swear one day I’ll be

[Pre-Chorus]
So we’ll embark
Oh we’ll set sail again (Sail again)
Dawn, dusk or dark, you’ll
Carry us over the wailing ocean
We’ll make a mark on all
Each and every tidal pull we sail on

[Chorus]
Hold up your hearts again
Return to days from then
Glory abounds in every soul that seeks the truth
Now we tell our tales with mighty songs
All for the hearts here, just beating along

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Hold up your hearts again
Return to days from then
Glory abounds in every soul that seeks the truth
Oh, hold up your hearts again
Return to days from then
Glory abounds in every soul that seeks the truth
Now we tell our tales with mighty songs
All for the hearts here, just beating along
All for the hearts here, who carry the song

Victim

[Verse 1]
Heartbeats and tired eyes
A weight upon my feet
Breaks through with every step
Each print a part of me
Left in the dirt and left all behind
I’m scared and I’m empty, barely alive
But all this growing up
Just makes it hard to breathe

[Pre-Chorus]
Take the measure
Take it twice
Face the pleasure
Every vice
Stand together
Standing by
But it’s gone beyond my needs

[Chorus]
Will I always feel like a victim?
Will I always fight on my own?
Am I lamb or am I lion? Please beliеve me
As I grow into the shadow of my thronе
A king is king alone

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I’ll toil eternally
So long as I am strong
Enough to hold my body
Together for them all
Passing the days with kindness and cruelty
The weight of the morning dusk still pulls me
And all this work is only half the work I need

[Pre-Chorus]
Take the measure
Take it twice
Face the pleasure
Every vice
Stand together
Standing by
But it’s gone beyond my needs

[Chorus]
Will I always feel like a victim?
Will I always fight on my own?
Am I lamb or am I lion? Please believe me
As I grow into the shadow of my throne
A king is king

[Post-Chorus]
A lonely life awaits my heart
So life divine embrace me
You burden all the higher threats
So wait for something more
I’ll take the final stride
And destiny’s across my path
Sometimes I wish I was nothing at all

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
I will always feel like a victim
I will always fight on my own
I am lamb but am I lion, please believe me
I will grow to overshadow any throne
I swear I won’t

[Chorus]
Always feel like a victim
I won’t always fight on my own
I am lamb and am I lion, I will be my own messiah
I will grow to overshadow any throne
I swear I won’t
Always feel like a victim
I won’t always fight on my own
So forgive me these transgressions as I live a life of lessons
And I grow to overshadow darker thrones
This king is king alone

The Bitter Winds

[Verse 1]
Apathy enraged
I’ll purge these greying days
Beaten down and beating out
A rhythm now of change
I am on my way
Come riot, come the reign
Join if you can justify
A hope beyond today

[Pre-Chorus]
Yet on the other side
The rain it shines like gold and silver
I’ll bring the rust of discontent

[Chorus]
Am I the only one
Who’d brave the bitter wind to fly?
Am I the only one
Who takes the battle in his stride?
Am I the only one who knows
There is no subsitute for hopе?
I’ll go far beyond these barricadеs

[Verse 2]
Lowly are our days
While life is lived this way
Join in our half-lives defined
By sharing out our pain
I refuse to wait (To wait)
I’ll steal my own escape (Escape)
If they rot then so begot
In sameness they remain

[Pre-Chorus]
Yet on the other side
The rain it shines like gold and silver
I’ll bring the rust of discontent

[Post-Chorus]
We are the, we are the iron
Made to shield the hope of dawn
We are the, we are the iron
Melt us down, you’ll see our
Faces in the sword
Yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Am I the only one
Who’d brave the bitter wind to fly?
Am I the only one
Who takes the battle in his stride?
Am I the only one who knows
There is no subsitute for hope?
I’ll go far beyond these barricades
Am I the only one
Who’d brave the bitter wind to fly?
Am I the only one
Who takes the battle in his stride?
Am I the only one who knows
There is no substitute for hope?
I’ll go far beyond these barricades

Dawnbreaker

[Chorus]
I know the iron sky
Could never stop this light
Not when the dawn is strong
Enough to break the heart of night
Someday the sun will melt these iron eyes

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I think I might have seen too much
My iris aches for a human touch
I’ve watched a thousand little lives pass here
The dark imprints, the horror sears
Sometimes I think I might have borne too much
My shoulders ache, my alloy rusts
My legs are armoured by the scars and tears
And I know too my body is getting there

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m made of memories and bronze and scrap
My bones are silver and my eyes are black
I am the armour and the sheath and in
Your fire I forge my skin

[Chorus]
I know the iron sky
Could never stop this light
Not when these wings of purpose
Beat against the night
My eyes
They gleam and glimmer as I testify (Testify)
So as the light decays
Against the dying days
I’ll let its warm embrace
Upon my heart engrave
A mark
My skin is steel under darker skies
Iron eyes

[Verse 2]
Upon the roots I lay my path ahead
The seedlings bloom, under tar and dread
But still, I stand beneath a tree that bears
The scars of a wasteland, a life repaired
Under my armour lies an unknown thing
The blood writes its songs and its ardor sings
Maxim invulnerable, but self-impaired
No one ever loved without first being scared

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m made of memories and bronze and scrap
My bones are silver and my eyes are black
I am the armour and the sheath and in
Your fire I forge my skin

[Chorus]
I know the iron sky
Could never stop this light
Not when these wings of purpose
Beat against the night
My eyes
They gleam and glimmer as I testify (Testify)
So as the light decays
Against the dying days
I’ll let its warm embrace
Upon my heart engrave
A mark
My skin is steel under darker skies
Iron eyes

[Bridge]
Truth comes as porcelain, a fragile friend
To hide within our timbers
My wooden soul will keep it strong and keep it hidden
My courage ebbs and smoulders
As it does in every one of us
I pray it burns right through my chest

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m made of memories and bronze and scrap
My bones are silver and my eyes are black
I am the armour and the sheath and in
Your fire I forge my skin
The fire beats the sin

[Chorus]
I know the iron sky
Will never stop this light
Not when the dawn is strong
Enough to break the heart of night
Someday the sun will melt these iron eyes
I know the iron sky
Will never stop this light
Not when these wings of purpose
Beat against the night
My eyes
They gleam and glimmer as I testify (Testify)
So as the light decays
Against the dying days
I’ll let its warm embrace
Upon my heart engrave
A mark
My skin is steel under darker skies
I know the iron sky
Won’t stop my light
My eyes
They gleam and glimmer as I testify (Testify)
So as the light decays
These dying days leave a mark
My skin is steel under darker skies
Iron eyes

Eternity

[Verse 1]
Touch a spark from this flint of mine
Make mortar for my heart again
Beat back hope as the red hands rise
In unison our scars we mend
Hollow now are the days still left
And hollow I reflect again
If there was fight still left, I’d beat
My fear to death

[Pre-Chorus]
I require, a modicum of ire, just to
Spite the fire, and stoke the flame
That brought me here so strong

[Chorus]
Fight the calling of eternity
Fight broken if you have to be
I swear within my chest I’m burning strong
I keep my keys bеside my heart
Dust lines thеm all
Break through every possibility
Break promises or destiny
If hope is all that’s left, unseal my heart
Show me the person I become

[Verse 2]
Breach the wall with a tired friend
It’s hard to look through eyes this red
But brace the iris and suture on
These wounds that bitter men have wrought
Scream your words to the Iron Sky
I dare you, come for my empire
I swear I’m made for more
Lay every fear to rest

[Pre-Chorus]
I require, a modicum of ire, just to
Spite the fire, and stoke the flame
That brought me here so strong

[Chorus]
Fight the calling and eternity
Fight broken if you have to be
I swear within my chest I’m burning strong
I keep my keys beside my heart
Dust lines them all
Break through every possibility
Break promises or destiny
If hope is all that’s left, unseal my heart
Show me the person I become

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Cowardice, old friend, make me whole again
Bid farewell to clinging tight to me
Wrath and fire, engine of ire
Put our differences aside, once more

[Verse 3]
I can measure strength by amity
I will live relentlessly
I swear within my chest I’m
Burning strong
I keep my keys beside my heart
Dust lines them all

[Chorus]
Fight the calling of eternity
Fight broken if you have to be
I swear within my chest I’m burning strong
I keep my keys beside my heart
Dust lines them all
Break through every possibility
Break promises or destiny
If hope is all that’s left, unseal my heart
Show me the person I become
Show me the person I become

King Of Nothing

[Verse 1]
I tried my best to make it
To be, to break, to change things
For the better, love enlaboured
But still you carry me along
Can’t anybody make it stop?
Break every bone my body’s got
Rebuild, rebuild, rebuild
But never quite complete

[Pre-Chorus]
I am only
Half as lonely
As I’d like to be
Shattered mirror
Water and blood
Drink down every part of me

[Chorus]
I was the wind that carried you along
Don’t leave me
Here, with the fear I tore asunder
Please believe I tried
Though a king of nothing
I’ve a crown made of gold and scorn
And though you could never hear me
I was trying, I was trying, I was trying

[Verse 2]
Not every step comes easy
Prints in the ash, but fading
Faster than my heart is racing
Why won’t you carry me along?
I am asunder, I am wrong
In iron skies reflected, gone
I knew the future and the burden made me strong

[Pre-Chorus]
I am only
Half as lonely (Half as lonely)
As I’d like to be (As I would like to finally be)
Shattered mirror
Water and blood (Water and blood)
Drink down every part of me

[Chorus]
I was the wind that carried you along
Don’t leave me
Here, with the fear I tore asunder
Please believe I tried
Though a king of nothing
I’ve a crown made of gold and scorn
And though you could never hear me
I was trying, I was trying, I was trying

[Bridge]
The silver lining
Heart arising
Sun providing
Faith surviving
Redefining
No denying
No decrying
I was trying all the same

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I was the wind that carried you along
Don’t leave me
Here, with the fear I tore asunder
Please believe I tried
Though a king of nothing
I’ve a crown made of gold and scorn
And though you could never hear me
I was trying, I was trying, know that
I was the wind that carried you along
Don’t leave me
Here, with the fear I tore asunder
Please believe I tried
Though a king of nothing see
This crown that I have forged
And though you could never hear me
I was trying, I’m was trying
I’m still trying

World End Slowly

[Verse 1]
Wait, no one knew the day was gone
Or that it would bring the starsong
Why is the dawn so long?
Waves crash upon the fallen sky
The sand and the wind are in my eyes
I still won’t blink or cry

[Pre-Chorus]
I won’t miss a single moment, I
Resolve these tired eyes
To witness the light

[Chorus]
If this is the end
At least I’m with friends
Value the long goodbye
Ask of the stars, one more hurrah
This is who we are
If this is our time
Don’t waste it crying out
For something more
If life ends here then smile wide
I just hope the world ends slow tonight

[Verse 2]
Wait, ashes wipe away what remains
When faced with this we’re all the same
Save those who face away
So say, we are but an ancient throng
Children who stole the right from wrong
That’s how we grow so strong

[Pre-Chorus]
I won’t miss a single moment, I
Resolve these tired eyes
To witness the light

[Chorus]
If this is the end
At least I’m with friends
Value the long goodbye
Ask of the stars, one more hurrah
This is who we are
If this is our time
Don’t waste it crying out
For something more
If life ends here then smile wide
I just hope the world ends slow tonight

[Post-Chorus]
To choose a life without a friend
To fight against the certain end
Avert your eyes then
And live as kings with nothing left again

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Wait, universe please wait
If only for a minute
I swear to live it
Without hesitance or shame
Weight, oh God I know the weight
But revel in burdens lifting late
I only bend, not break

[Pre-Chorus]
I won’t miss a single moment, I
Resolve these tired eyes
To witness the light

[Chorus]
If this is the end
At least I’m with friends
Value the long goodbye
Ask of the stars, one more hurrah
This is who we are
If this is our time
Don’t waste it crying out
For something more
If life ends here then smile wide
I just hope the world ends slow
If this is the end
At least I’m with friends
Value the long goodbye
Ask of the stars, one last hurrah
This is who we are
If this is our time
Don’t waste it crying
For something more
If life ends here then smile wide
I just hope the world ends slowly, life
Is better lived with open eyes
I just hope the world ends slow tonight

A New Hope

[Verse 1]
Have I ever been alone
On a journey filled with ghosts?
Of adventures and raconteurs who lend me hope
There’s an ocean in my eyes
But I’ll blink away the brine
And remember all this fondly when I’m old

[Verse 2]
Now I lie beneath the clouds
Seeing shapes within my doubt
Making faces out of rain that’s yet to come my way
Their stares will guide me on
Each endeavor makes a song
I can sing when nights get cold

[Chorus]
The hope of a new day is dawning
For now our fear is a thing of the past
Collide every heart here with empathy
Life may be fleeting, but memories last

[Verse 3]
If only I could know
Coming futures unforetold
Felling ivory and towers and the hearts they hold
Nothing ever lights the way
Nothing comforts or assuages
But onward still we row

[Chorus]
The hope of a new day is dawning
For now our fear is a thing of the past
Collide every heart here with empathy
Life may be fleeting, but memories last

[Brige]
I swear
To all my fallen friends
Brush dust off the mantle you pass
Though you may hide
One day will these walls will lie
In spite of how they stood
For all my fallen friends
This grey old life remains
I’ll use it to keep you alive
Long as you’re close
Long as this grey old life remains

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
The hope of a new day is dawning
For now our fear is a thing of the past
Collide every heart here with empathy
Life may be fleeting, but memories last
The hope of a new day is dawning
For now our fear is a thing of the past
Collide every heart here with empathy
Life may be fleeting, it all goes too fast
But memories last (This too shall pass)
This too shall pass (Memories will last)
But memories last
I’ll keep these memories of ours (The memories)
With me when everything has passed (Will last)

Memories On The Wind

[instrumental]

The Winterlight Chronicles

Glint (Piano Version)

[Verse 1]
Led by the fire of a thousand burning lights
To a hillside of heroes who welcome you there
Am I lost to ambition, or might it be right that
Before the light can burn another quite so bright?

[Chorus]
I’ll storm through the gates to the strength that I hold inside
By the might that’s burnt into my skin by birth rite
Blaze in the pyres of a destiny that calls to the
Warriors who never needed destiny at all

[Verse 2]
I request of the moonlight, that the sun sees my face
Let the gleam of my reflection, all thеse doubts, resign
I’ll go wherе the light goes, be it throne or be it cage
So my life reflects the truth that these words imply

[Chorus]
So storm through the gates to the strength that I hold inside
By the might that’s burnt into my skin by birth rite
Blaze in the pyres of a destiny that calls to the
Warriors who never needed destiny at all

[Post-Chorus]
I’ve always been worthy
I’ve always been worthy
I’ve always been worthy
I know that you know me
I’ve always been worthy
I’ve always been worthy
I’ve always been worthy
I know, I know

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
If I aspire along the way to make amends
To forge a home in the memories of long forgotten friends
I only ask you’ll help me find, amidst the coil of harder times
A reason it’s worthwhile

[Chorus]
Storm through the gates to the strength that I hold inside
By the might that’s burnt into my skin by birth rite
Storm through the gates to the strength that I hold inside
By the might that’s burnt into my skin by birth rite
Blaze in the pyres of a destiny that calls to the
Warriors who never needed destiny at all

Oak and Ash (Piano Version) (Ft. Holly Brice)

[Verse 1: Matthew Corry]
Here I stand, amidst the call
The courage I’ve been waiting for
The only thing I cannot do is
Nothing at all
Asked to hold the steady course
To leave behind those giving more
Do I admit the light within is
Dim at its core?

[Pre-Chorus: Holly Brice]
All my hopes, they burden me
To give away the very hope that drives my self-belief
If I don’t ask the question then I’m questioning the need
Oh, no one’s ever needed strength like me

[Chorus: Matthew Corry & Holly Brice]
Hеre I stand
I’ve got my heart in hand
It’s madе of oak and ash
Someone tell me, am I worthy?
Be at peace
Please help my heart release
All of this anxiety
Someone tell me, am I worthy?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: Holly Brice, Matthew Corry & Holly Brice]
Here I stand, with nothing but
These embers of the heartless one
I’m half-way to a hero
Half-way coward I’ve become
Oh, now I’ve grown to this repose
To author all the days enclosed
As those I cannot change
Unless I change my soul

[Pre-Chorus: Matthew Corry, Matthew Corry & Holly Brice]
All my hopes, they burden me
To give away the very hope that drives my self-belief
If I don’t ask the question then I’m questioning the need
Oh, no one’s ever needed strength like me

[Chorus: Matthew Corry & Holly Brice]
Here I stand
I’ve got my heart in hand
It’s made of oak and ash
Someone tell me, am I worthy?
Be at peace
Please help my heart release
All of this anxiety
Someone tell me, am I worthy?

[Bridge: Holly Brice]
Oh, will I be worthy?
Will I be worthy?
Will I be worthy, or?

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Matthew Corry & Holly Brice]
Oh won’t someone tell me where I stand
I’ve got my heart in hand
It’s made of oak and ash
Someone tell me, am I worthy?
Be at peace
Please help my heart release
All of this anxiety
Someone tell me, am I worthy?

The Frozen Land (Ft. Philippe Giordana)

[Verse 1]
Lonely is the hollow man
If hollow he deserves
Light the eyes fantastic, see the ice upon my earth
Time embrace the frost and lace that coats the iron skin
My ichor knows the cold but tempers ‘gainst the lonely wind

[Pre-Chorus]
If tomorrow yet belies defeat
Lie with me

[Chorus]
This home, I know, a siege upon my soul
Defy, deny, defend a bitter life
My shoulders grow with every hope I hold
The ice and I will stand, we bleed upon this frozen land

[Verse 2]
I am hope envisioned, but the eyes are not my own
Fill the patchwork prophecy, and fill the hollow soul
Exile my poetic calls to mountains by the sea
Merge for me, the choice and the truth we weave

[Pre-Chorus]
If tomorrow yet belies defeat
Lie with me

[Chorus]
This home, I know, a siege upon my soul
Defy, deny, defend a bitter life
My shoulders grow with every hope I hold
The ice and I will stand, we bleed upon this frozen land

[Verse]
Light enshrine, (Light enshrine) can faith yet justify? (Justify)
Who am I (Who am I), to decide here? (Decide here)
Ice descend (Ice descend), on the eyes shaded and embered (Shaded and embered)
Hope may brace these arms of mine (Arms of mine)

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Take my hand, teach me who I am
Storied soul, depend upon my own
Life rely on more than do or die
The ice and I will stand, oh ichor mine

[Chorus]
This home, I know, a siege upon my soul
Defy, deny, defend a bitter life
My shoulders grow with every hope I hold
The ice and I will stand, we bleed upon this frozen land, land, land
The ice and I will stand, we bleed upon the frozen land

The Saberlight Chronicles

Until The Fires Die

[Verse 1]
Come with me
I’ll take you on a hero’s journey
Through the hills and spires of history’s spell
Come with me
There’s more than magic in these stories that I tell
Come near and warm yourself

[Pre-Chorus]
Conjure up intentions, and we’ll bind them to your soul
So we remember
The fires and embers
Fellowship ho

[Chorus]
Hold your hearts up and lift them high
Live your life with a battle cry
Sing with us till the fires die
Fellowship foretold
Hold your hearts up and lift them high
Live your life with a battle cry
Sing with us till the fires die
And the Fellowship will grow

[Verse 2]
Come with me
Our scars ignite the fire within us
As they did for all the fabled few who scar the tapestry
So stand with me
And watch the coal that stokes the story
As my memorial to memories of days like these

[Pre-Chorus]
Conjure up intentions and we’ll bind them to your soul
So we remember
The fires and embers
Fellowship ho

[Guitar Solo]

Atlas

[Verse 1]
I am something ancient
I am something yet to be
This body is my chronicle and history
Sail beyond this heart of mine
Find life beyond its reach
Make me a mark upon this tapestry

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, how the gold of morning grows apropos
To the fate that may fall at our feet
If I can stand I’ll raise a hand to bear the days unseen

[Chorus]
Save the knowledge and the knight
Pray that we’ll be sanctified
Hope’s enough to bear the sky
So make of me an Atlas, I
Hold upon this bitter lie
That sacrifice is justified
Oh, better yet to do than die
So bear the sky these calloused hands of mine

[Verse 2]
Make of me a miracle that I might better be
Give me enough to be enough, to be worthy
Fickle is the trust that I, in fables, trust to see
Hide these, the quivers in my heartbeat

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, how the gold of morning grows apropos
To the fate that may fall at our feet
If I can stand I’ll raise a hand to bear the days unseen

[Chorus]
Save the knowledge and the knight
Pray that we’ll be sanctified
Hope’s enough to bear the sky
So make of me an Atlas, I
Hold upon this bitter lie
That sacrifice is justified
Oh, better yet to do than die
So bear the sky these calloused hands of mine

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
I’ll soon know if I can go to fight for what my heart keeps hold, but
If I try this gilded life with guilt imbue ’til I grow old
The avarice I see in this will haunt me if I’m wrong
But if I stand and raise no hand then how can I
How can I go on?

[Guitar Solo]

Glory Days

[Verse 1]
As the light within me falls, another day departs
If only I could see the dawn beyond the shadows cast
An empire of doubt, a heart full of clouds, befall the souls within her
The valley will weep as a mirror of old, as hope is halfway damned

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, to see our last day with all these shattered voices raised
Oh say, will you fight?

[Chorus]
To seek the glory days
We’ll fight the lion’s way
Then let the rain wash all of our pride away
So if this victory
Is our last odyssey
Then let the power within us decide!

[Verse 2]
On the backs of giants long deceased are wе still standing
We measure our worth by all thе days we wasted then
All of our time, and all of our might, are fueled by the heartache of winter
Oh life as we know it is bitter and cold, but souls burn best with spite

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, to see our last day with all these shattered voices raised
Oh say, will you fight?

[Chorus]
To seek the glory days
We’ll fight the lion’s way
Then let the rain wash all of our pride away
So if this victory
Is our last odyssey
Then let the power within us decide!

[Bridge]
If we have to choose our fate
It’s still our choice to make!

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, to see our last day with all these shattered voices raised
Oh say, will you fight?

[Chorus]
To seek the glory days
We’ll fight the lion’s way
Then let the rain wash all of our pride away
To seek the glory days
We’ll fight the lion’s way
Then let the rain wash all of our pride away
So if this victory
Is our last odyssey
Let the power within
Ignite where we’ve been
Let the power within us decide!

Oh, will I be worthy?
Will I be worthy?
Will I be worthy, or?

[Guitar Solo]

Here I stand
I’ve got my heart in hand
It’s made of oak and ash
Someone tell me, am I worthy?
Be at peace
Please help my heart release
All of this anxiety
Someone tell me, am I worthy?

Hearts Upon the Hill

[Verse 1]
Fall bright the days of a war without an age
All life made martyr by its will
So come what may, red skies or rainfall
We know now, it rests upon us all

[Pre-Chorus]
It seems the end is near
Nigh on this hour
Come glory, honour, and destiny
We stand up to fight

[Chorus]
We hear the crash of hearts upon the hill
Unleash the cries of all that’s within us
So comes the day we forge another storm
And triumph in the end of things

[Verse 2]
Tread blood beyond all the rubble scattered on
Our lives, so build yourself once more
We’ll learn like older legends told us
That home can be anywhere our feet belong

[Pre-Chorus]
It seems the end is near
Nigh on this hour
Come glory, honour, and destiny
We stand up to fight

[Chorus]
We hear the crash of hearts upon the hill
Unleash the cries of all that’s within us
So comes the day we forge another storm
And triumph in the end of things

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Say we, the lost, not defined by middle gods
To live with passion lives our best
So come what’s told, red skies or golden
Days ahead of us, regardless live it all

[Pre-Chorus]
It seems the end is near
Nigh on this hour
Come glory, honour, and destiny
We stand up to fight

[Chorus]
We hear the crash of hearts upon the hill
Unleash the cries of all that’s within us
So comes the day we forge another storm
And triumph in the end of things
We hear the crash of hearts upon the hill (We hear the crash)
Unleash the cries of all that’s within (All that’s within)
So comes the day we forge another storm
And triumph in the end of things
Triumph in the end of things to come

Scars and Shrapnel Wounds

[Verse 1]
How many roads must a man walk to live a different life?
This one’s already too much (This one’s already too much)
In the twilight here, there’s nothing but a
Galaxy or two to guide me home
Beneath the stars, amidst the night

[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause there’s always things that scream at me from the darkness
And there’s always, yet more wars left to fight
But I wouldn’t change this destiny if you asked me
‘Cause isn’t destiny just how we choose to live our lives?

[Chorus]
All thе scars and shrapnel wounds
Well they achе with every movement
And the battles fought for love are getting harder every day
But with just one wish to use
This life would be the one thing
That I’d wish would never end

[Verse 2]
My heart is beating at a quarter of the speed it used to (Oh of the speed)
I bruised and beat it myself (I bruised and beat it myself)
But it’s stronger now and, oh, somehow adrenaline will come
Revitalize these sunken eyes that guide me now

[Chorus]
All the scars and shrapnel wounds
Well they ache with every movement
And the battles fought for love are getting harder every day
But with just one wish to use
This life would be the one thing
That I’d wish would never end

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Though the road is long
And hard will come the storms
I’ll remember every second
When I’m old, whoa

[Guitar Solo]

The Hours of Wintertime

[Verse 1]
Take my arms and my shield
And instead this life will I wield
Now I’ll guild my battles with chrome
All the glory best earned alone
Take my love and my hands
Broken justly and damned
To align with destiny’s trust
And grind that fate back to dust

[Verse 2]
Star grows cold in the heat
And a life takes rest at my feet
Almighty, ever unsold
From the hatе to the sunlight betrothed
Givе me power in your stead
Irridesce as a measure of worth in this
Oh see, for the means yet to fight
This regime made ancient tonight

[Chorus]
I could go, if I may
What makes me strong is today
And so I swear by hours of wintertime I’ll stay
I’ve begun to see the end
I’ll chase the battle off world’s end
And so I swear by hours of wintertime I’ll stay

[Bridge]
Now am I meant to go, meant to fight this time?
In the scale of our war, is it better to fight now or see what’s in store?

[Guitar Solo]

[Interlude]
And now I’m left here fighting on my own
And now I’m left here fighting on my own
And now I’m left here fighting on my own
And now I’m left here fighting on my own
And now I’m left here fighting on my own
And now I’m left here fighting on my own
And now I’m left here fighting on my own
And now I’m left here fighting on my own
And now I’m left here fighting on my own
And now I’m left here

[Chorus]
I could go, if I may
What makes me strong is today
So I swear by hours of wintertime I’ll stay
I’ve begun to see the end
I’ll chase the battle off world’s end
And so I swear by hours of wintertime I’ll stay

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
And now I’ll have to fight this on my own
And now I’ll have to fight this on my own
And now I’ll have to fight this on my own
And now I’ll have to fight this on my own

Glint

[Verse 2]
Request of the moonlight, that the sun sees my face
Let the gleam of my reflection, all thеse doubts, resign
I’ll go wherе the light goes, be it throne or be it cage
So my life reflects the truth that these words imply

[Chorus]
So storm through the gates to the strength that I hold inside
By the might that’s burnt into my skin by birth rite
Blaze in the pyres of a destiny that calls (Destiny that calls) to the
Warriors who never needed destiny at all

[Guitar Solo]

[Post-Chorus]
I’ve always been worthy (Always been worthy)
I’ve always been worthy (Always been worthy)
I’ve always been worthy (Always been worthy)
I know that you know me
I’ve always been worthy (Always been worthy)
I’ve always been worthy (Always been worthy)
I’ve always been worthy (Always been worthy)
I know, I know

The Saint Beyond the River

[Chorus]
For the saint beyond the river
I will take another step
For to see the final thread of life
Will sow my soul again
For the saint beyond the river
I will see the face of god
For the saint beyond the river
Carry on!

[Verse 1]
Memories are brittle at their best
Preserve me through my sword
And all the songs within my chest
If I have any voice that carries through
I hope it keeps the words I use
Emblazoned on the winds to carry on!

[Verse 2]
The eyes of time have stared at me for years
With half of life to go, I’ll pray that patience conquers fear
Before the dark becomes a part of me
Please take the light that I can leave
And use it as your strength to carry on

[Chorus]
For the saint beyond the river
I will take another step
For to see the final thread of life
Will sow my soul again
For the saint beyond the river
I will see the face of god
For the saint beyond the river
Carry on!

[Bridge]
I gaze to the stars
That shine beyond the river down below
These saints shine against me
As they always seem to do
For who am I if not the son
Of those I look up to?
I gaze through my past beyond the pale and dark of night
I hope the light that comes before will save these earthbound eyes
But if it won’t, I’ll still try!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
For the saint beyond the river
I will take another step
For to see the final thread of life
Will sow my soul again
For the saint beyond the river
I will see the face of god
For the saint beyond the river
Carry on!
For the saint beyond the river
I will take another step
For to see the final thread of life
Will sow my soul again
For the saint beyond the river
I will see the face of god
For the saint beyond the river
Carry on!
For the saint beyond the river
For the saint beyond the river
Carry on!

Silhouette

[Verse 1]
I’m a silhouette of who I was
Across from flames that spark the doubts, and hopes, and echoes of
A silhouette that looks like me
Burning hope to keep us tangible ’til dawn

[Pre-Chorus]
Twilight sits beside me
Where company should be
Let the stars put out my hope
And in their place, light me

[Chorus]
Silhouette, become my statuette
Replace this chest of mine
Take stone for the ash inside
Silhouette, live now at my bеhest
This burden consecratе
A statue in my place

[Post-Chorus]
If I ever lack then who will carry on?
Return to the eye, oh tear forgone

[Verse 2]
If I’m an echo of those better things
Then my sound is halfway drowned by silence answering
And now, a figure in the bitter fray
Come what may, war or rain, I’ll hear you echoing

[Pre-Chorus]
Twilight sits beside me
Where company should be
Let the stars put out my hope
And in their place, light me

[Chorus]
Silhouette, become my statuette
Replace this chest of mine
Take stone for the ash inside
Silhouette, live now at my behest
This burden consecrate
A statue in my place

[Bridge]
To fade or fight through?
The final throes of my due
If I’m alive, then life I can’t refuse

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Silhouette, become my statuette
Replace this chest of mine
Take stone for the ash inside
Silhouette, live now at my behest
This burden consecrate
A statue in my
Silhouette, become my statuette
Replace this chest of mine
Take stone for the ash inside
Silhouette, live now at my behest
This burden consecrate
A statue in my place

Still Enough

[Verse 1]
If there’s regret in my future, start
To cast away all these ebbing marks
Oh heir inherit no more merit
Than worthy of thy part

[Pre-Chorus]
I am no more the brittle son of apathy and loss
I am more than a remnant carried on
My sins are anchors that I’ll face up to
So make the ocean my path!

[Chorus]
I stand within the morning lights
With my hope and heart on either side
I’ll take a lion’s share of pride
And trust that I’ve got strength inside
Stand before the coming days
As my home-bound heart will find a way
To wear upon itself thе trust that it is
Still enough, I’m still enough

[Verse 2]
If I’m to carry the torch and namе
Singe within me the embers of today
Oh, I’ll envision new decisions
And I’ll burn out my own way!

[Pre-Chorus]
I am an undefined
I take my history in stride
I am more than a piece of what’s to come
My home is something that I’ll take with me
Wherever I make my mark!

[Chorus]
I stand within the morning lights
With my hope and heart on either side
I’ll take a lion’s share of pride
And trust that I’ve got strength inside
Stand before the coming days
As my home-bound heart will find a way
To wear upon itself the trust
That it is still enough

[Bridge]
I’ll weather the coming storm with trust
My doubt has been anchored, thus
Oh, when will I be stronger?
Trust, that I’ll be strong enough!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I stand within the morning lights
With my hope and heart on either side
I’ll take a lion’s share of pride
And trust that I’ve got strength inside
Stand before the coming days
As my home-bound heart will find a way
To wear upon itself the trust
That it is still enough

[Outro]
Build my heart here
Forge this heartache
Anchor my troubles
So I’ll find my way
Build my heart here
Forge this heartache
Anchor my troubles
And build me again

Avalon

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
To overcome all the fear within my chest
Carve out my courage, my soul arrest
Temper my heart and reforge it
From trembling wood, into light
These mountains stand as a strike upon the sea
Scars for the land, and scars for me
See now my heart, once submerged here
Resurface now, with the tide

[Pre-Chorus]
Fall before the pantheon of gods
Fight with all the strength to carry on
All the glory lies with fate’s resolve
But dеstiny’s reserved for wеaker souls

[Chorus]
Oh, I’m not afraid
And I’m not alone!
For I’ve still got my heart
And an arm to fight my foes
Oh, I’m not afraid
And I’m not alone
For all that I need is right here
Oh, all that I need is right here
Avalon

[Verse 2]
Attest my pride in the face of what’s to come
Waver it may, yet it falters none
Break me apart, I’ll grow stronger
Empowered more every time
March through my eyes, if my eyes can lead the way
Stand in the fire, burn the flames away
Power in tow, I’ll explode here
My heart so filled with light

[Pre-Chorus]
Fall before the pantheon of gods
Fight with all the strength to carry on
All the glory lies with fate’s resolve
But destiny’s reserved for weaker souls

[Chorus]
Oh, I’m not afraid
And I’m not alone!
For I’ve still got my heart
And an arm to fight my foes
Oh, I’m not afraid
And I’m not alone
For all that I need is right here
Oh, all that I need is right here

[Bridge]
Earth, atone here
Burn, while the light begins to fade
Belong here, blaze
Earth, atone here
Burn, while the light begins to fade
Belong here, blaze away

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Oh, I’m not afraid
And I’m not alone
For I’ve still got my heart
And an arm to fight my foes
Oh, I’m not afraid
And I’m not alone
For all that I need is right here
Oh, all that I need is right here
Avalon

[Outro]
I will forge my own candescent life
I’ll be my father and my guide
And through these words I can’t believe
They ask that I believe in
I will forge an incandescent life
I’ll make my empathy my pride
And as those words begin to fade
I’ll sign my heart upon this age
Each beat a spark of time
Kindling the majesty behind my eyes
Know my worth
In those stars shines the engine of my heart
So come, storm of life
Rage within these gates of mine
That I might live, my whole life, truly alive
