Dead Letter Circus : The Catalyst Fire
Lyrics
1.THE CURE
This feels insane
The less you know
Now is worth more than anything
You will engage and breathe it
Toxic
The burn
Show me where the progress exists
Without the protest
Hide behind the faint lines
Built beside the same lines
Even though it's not in your view
You're a part of a bigger chain
Gaping holes worn through weeping walls
It's right in front of you
We're holding the blade
This feels insane
Wealth before our own worth
Programmed to obey
We are the slaves who object in silence
The herd
You're a part of a bigger chain
Gaping holes worn through weeping walls
It's right in front of you
We're holding the blade
Feed me now the cure
Even though it's not in your view
You're a part of a bigger chain
Gaping holes worn through weeping walls
It's right in front of you
Even thought it's not in your view
You're a link in a bigger chain
Gaping holes through weeping walls
It's right in front of you
The path they gave you is worn
By the countless enslaved
Confused alone
Hopelessly gazing through that hole
They're fed their only light
2. ALONE AWAKE
We will not be guided
Held apart and counted
Kept within our spaces alone
Some of us have broken free
And we have chosen
Bleeding but we're conscious, awake
Clearly lost but turning
Waking from the dream within a dream confused
Staring at the seams and lines
Awake
Now the veil's unfurling
The illusion we're alone has now dissolved
It's you staring back at you
It's time for change
Awake
Please don't fade
Now that I see who you are
There's not enough of you here today
And this world needs you
Please don't change
Now that I see who you are
There's not enough of you here today
Clearly lost but learning
Escaping from this scene within a scene
Are you real
Or did I dream you while awake?
Some of us have broken
Free and we have chosen
Bleeding but we're conscious, awake
Please don't fade
Now that I see who you are
There's not enough of you here today
And this world needs you
Please don't change
Now that I see who you are
There's not enough of you here today
You and I
Us again
Unfolding as the world keeps spinning
Our minds covered with the veil
That is the game in which we're lost
I get it now
Here it is
Us again
Unfolding as the world keeps spinning
Our minds covered with the veil
That is the game in which we're lost
I get it, now
Please don't change
Now that I see who you are
There's not enough of you here today
Say something as you're taking that step from me
Coming unstuck
The face that I choose
Won't let me in
On reflection of this concept of unity
I'm dreaming all this
The face that is you
Won't let me in...
3. BURNING MAN
Taste in on the turning page
A vision of our burning hands held to the sun
Free now from the shadow of one
Faces of the broken stare
Unmoving as they meet the end
We will not run
Free now front in the shadow of one
Holding it like they need it
More than we want it
Our stone hearts beating
They won't break us now
We need it more than they want it
Our stone heart bleeding
They won't break us
Our hands out
Heads down
Feet on the ground
Free now from the shadow of one
Taste it on the turning page
The vision of our burning
Hands held to the sun
Free now from the shadow of one
Holding it like they need it
More than we want it
Our stone hearts beating
They won't break us now
We need it more than they want it
Our stone heart bleeding
They won't break us now
If you just think it in another way
One shame. One vision
One world defeated
There's another way
Your shame. Your vision
Your world defeated
There's another way
One shame. One vision
One world defeated
There's another way
Your shame
The answers in front of you just open your eyes
Standing right there in front of you just open your mind
It's light there in front of you
Just open your eyes
Standing right there in front of you
The answer's in front of you
4. LODESTAR
I can see through the rise and fall
The smoke and the mirror that blinds it all
Looked up and, but just as I reach it's gone
I know this is how it could be
It's gone with no answers
You seem to know this
And see through the lies
some place I can't perceive
And you own this
Stand there with arms that are so wide
I can't believe when you showed me, yeah!
Don't say another word
I can do this on my own
So just look the other way, and
Don't say another word
I can see this in my sight
There's something I can change
I know there's another way
It's true, you know this
And see through the lies
some place I can't perceive
And you own this
Stand there with arms that are so wide
I can't believe
when you showed me, yeah!
I can see through the rise and fall
I know I could make it feel right, but I
If I caught it, just as I reach it's gone
I know this is how it must be, this game, with no answers
there's no answers here
I can hold it for you!
Don't say another word
I can do this on my own
So just look the other way, and
Don't say another word
I can see this in my sight
I know there's another way
I know there's another way
5. I AM
Take me instead
I'll stand in the middle
A Martyr once said
Hoping to deliver us
Take me instead
I'll stand in the middle
When the river runs red
Hoping for deliverance
Defiant
I’ll become the shelter in the hope
That my death gives more before oblivion
I'm hoping that the river runs dry yet
I am all of who I am
Wear the face of all I know I am
I am all of who I am
I the tested
I the broken stand
Take me instead
I'll stand unforgiven
When the river runs red
Hoping this delivers us
Defiant
I'm become the shelter in the hope
That my death gives more
Before oblivion
Hoping that the river runs dry yet
I am all of who I am
Wear the face of all I know I am
I am all of who I am
I the tested
I the broken stand
On the inside
Born a slave here in denial
But I am free now
I am just holding my own sacred line
That I will keep on following
For the one wears the eyes that I conceived
Mine offered up
I will brace, bleed and defy
The moment that the river runs
I am all of who I am
Wear the face of all I know I am
Both the liar and the honest man
I the tested
I the broken stand
I'm hoping to deliver us
Hoping that the river runs dry
6. SAY YOUR PRAYERS
Calling you out
What would you say if I
Stand and put this gun to your head
You tell me a lie
I'll pull the trigger on you
Speak for me now
Make me believe in all
the promises you make
Will they fall into design
on now what we will do?
For we want truth...
For we want truth...
There's hope in sight
We have broken a gaze
This is the end of the crown and his slave
The end
Prepare
Marching now to the sound of the flames
Of a stolen hour
In this moment you pay
Prepare
For the end
Say your prayers now!
While you're waiting!
Say your...
It's over now
We're sovereign again
This is the end
In the moment for change
Prepare
Prepare
Say your prayers now!
While you're waiting!
Say your prayers now!
While you're waiting!
Calling you out
What would you say if I
Stand and put this gun to you're head
Tell me a lie
I'll pull the trigger on you
Speak for me now
Make me believe in all
the promises you make
Will they fall into design
on now what we will do?
Say your prayers now!
While you're waiting!
Say your prayers now!
While you're waiting
Say your prayers now!
We're near the end, so close
Here we're near the end
We're near the end, so close
Here we're near the end
7. THE VEIL
How can I point this finger at you
With both of our hands the broken bleeding proof
Shamed
Tell me once more we're not the reason
And how we all love to feed the fiction
I'm stained
Are you feeling the same
Freedom in one is the freedom in both
Argue while we all wait
She's coming round to exact the obvious
How can I point this finger at you
With both of my hands are broken bleeding proof
Stained
Do you feel there's a way
Teach me the song I will scream every word
Argue while we all wait
She's coming round to exact the obvious
Back to the start to remove the constant stain
Beset the karmic illusion of this game
No state of alarm
No warning
No more lies
Is it really our time
Hoping I can remain here to see what becomes of all this
Where we take it
Fear is love
Are you you feeling the same
Freedom in one is the freedom in both
Argue while we all wait
Will we survive this or will we all burn
Do you feel there's a way
Teach me the song I will scream every word
It's coming back to us
It's coming round and back to us
Obey
8. INSIDER
You want to
But you just can’t seem to define it
Woven in through
Is the broken thread you despise
Is the real you the one you think?
So be honest
It’s the same truth
Every darkened piece is a sign
The truth will keep you warm in the middle
But in between
If you can’t walk the walk even you know
It’s not right
You can’t change the world when you’re living
In between
What you’re leaving behind
You belong to
You’ll never understand the meaning of this here and now
Manifest the reasons that you change around
Joining up the pieces that you think you’ve found
But it’s just fear when you save it
The truth will keep you warm in the middle
But in between
If you can’t walk the walk even you know
It’s not right
You can’t change the world when you’re living
In a dream
What you’re seeing is blind
You want to
But you just can’t seem to define this
It will break you
Overcome, you open your eyes
The real you
Is the one who breathes so be honest
Be honest
The truth will keep you warm in the middle
You were lost in a dream
And you can’t walk the walk
Even you know it’s not right
In between where the world is on fire
You can breathe if you want to
In between where the world is on fire
You can breathe if you want to
9. LOST WITHOUT LEADERS
I will not be chained here with this in my sight
Feel the shift and changes
A lonely fire
I can hope for one thing
Say the words aloud
A denial burning
Help me justify again
To birth another end
Stay here. I won't look away
I hope that the moment comes
That I remember to let go
The mind begins to tremor
As it starts to burn
For a moment you're awake
It’s in your mind
Sinner. I know that the prophets inspired you
You will not be lost without leaders
Know that conscience will guide you
And from this you will grow
I hope that when the moment comes
That you remember to let go
The mind begins to tremor
And it starts to burn
For a moment your awake
It's in your mind then
Dreaming ‘bout December
Will it return
From the broken grow the saved
Leader, Conformer, Defier
Make you mind up
Evolver, Defeatist, Controller
Decide who you are
Healer, Defiler, Killer
The silent victim
Heathen, Messiah, Believer
Decide where you stand
Is there hope left in your eyes
Or will you fade away
Is there hope enough to try
Or you will you fade away
I hope that when the moment comes
That I remember to let go
Lead us, Control us, Divide us
Make our minds up
Bleed us, Conform us, Guide us
Shape our lives and
teach us to forgo the answers
And hope for just a little bit
Breed us to fall in compliant
Hoping for a little more pain
We're hoping for a little more pain
10. STAND APART
Everyday I say the words
Nothings real, nothing hurts
Taste it but I cant decide
If what I feel is my own mind
Take it all and spread it out
What 'seen, what I've learned
No one else yet sees the signs
Every word and everything
I will take one small step
Break and stand apart
Should I concede in you
To follow and serve
Or will the crown I choose
Swallow it all
I will take one small step
I've waken up
I'll break this flesh bound cage
And stand apart
I'll take one small step
Yeah I'll change
I’ll face this construct before me
You will know when there’s hardly something left
Can you see me?
The face in the crowd
Do I bring no recall?
You will know when there's hardly something left
Can you see?
The face in the crowd
Do I bring no recall?
Should I concede in you
To follow and serve
Or will the crown I choose swallow it all
I will take one small step
I've waken up
I'll break this flesh bound cage
And stand apart
Stand apart
11. KATCHINA
You’ll be dying to breath again when the feeling's over
Time for change, time to know the dream as a dream that's broken
Unify so we meet the hand with a heart that’s open.
Purify and awaken then it's coming closer.
With it's face uncovered, time's creeping in
Will we see it fall down just like they dreamed it would.
Will we see it burn down to rise again.
You’ll be dying to breath again, when you feel it's over.
Dark the day, dark, but hope will bleed from the place we stole it.
Unify, soon we meet the hand, with our hearts held open.
Stain, deny, then repeat again, it will be unspoken.
No more silence, no more.
No more time left, no one will save us.
With it's face uncovered, time's creeping in.
Will we see it fall down just like they dreamed it would.
Will we see it burn down to rise again.
We will see it fall down, wake from this dream and know.
We must see it burn down to rise again.
Take cover or rise and stand up as it's crept closer.
Now run while you still can, it's coming for us.
Change is coming, it's time you, decide where yon stand.
Deny it but know that we can end and nothing changes.
Or decide it and hope that we ascend.
That we can shape at all the fire that comes.
Or we pretend so we can hope it's all just pictures in stone.
And it's all been progress.
Will we see it fall down just like they dreamed it would.
Will we see it burn down to rise again.
We will see it fall down, wake from this dream and know.
We must see it burn down to rise again
This feels insane
The less you know
Now is worth more than anything
You will engage and breathe it
Toxic
The burn
Show me where the progress exists
Without the protest
Hide behind the faint lines
Built beside the same lines
Even though it's not in your view
You're a part of a bigger chain
Gaping holes worn through weeping walls
It's right in front of you
We're holding the blade
This feels insane
Wealth before our own worth
Programmed to obey
We are the slaves who object in silence
The herd
You're a part of a bigger chain
Gaping holes worn through weeping walls
It's right in front of you
We're holding the blade
Feed me now the cure
Even though it's not in your view
You're a part of a bigger chain
Gaping holes worn through weeping walls
It's right in front of you
Even thought it's not in your view
You're a link in a bigger chain
Gaping holes through weeping walls
It's right in front of you
The path they gave you is worn
By the countless enslaved
Confused alone
Hopelessly gazing through that hole
They're fed their only light
2. ALONE AWAKE

There's not enough of you here today
And this world needs you

Clearly lost but learning

That we can shape at all the fire that comes.
Or we pretend so we can hope it's all just pictures in stone.
And it's all been progress.
Will we see it fall down just like they dreamed it would.
Will we see it burn down to rise again.
We will see it fall down, wake from this dream and know.
We must see it burn down to rise again
