1. WINTER BORN (THIS SACRIFICE)

Dry your eyes and quietly bear this pain with pride
For heaven shall remember the silent and the brave
And promise me, they will never see, the fear within our Eyes

We will give strength to those who still remain

So bury fear for fate draws near and hide the signs of pain
With noble acts, the bravest souls endure the heart's Remains
Discard regret, that in this debt a better world is made
That children of a newer day might remember, and avoid our Fate.

And in the fury of this darkest hour we will be your light
You've asked me for my sacrifice and I am Winter born
Without denying, a faith is come that I have never known
I hear the angels call my name and I am Winter born

Hold your head up high-for there is no greater love
Think of the faces of the people you defend

And promise me, they will never see the tears within our Eyes
Although we are men with mortal sins, angels never cry

So bury fear for fate draws near and hide the signs of pain
With noble acts, the bravest souls endure the heart's Remains
Discard regret, that in this debt a better world is made
That children of a newer day might remember, and avoid our Fate.

And in the fury of this darkest hour we will be your light
You've asked me for my sacrifice and I am Winter born
Without denying, a faith in God that I have never known
I hear the angels call my name and I am Winter born

And in the fury of this darkest hour

I will be your light
A lifetime for this destiny
For I am Winter born
And in this moment...
I will not run, it is my place to stand
We few shall carry hope

Within our bloodied hands

And in our Dying
We're more alive-than we have ever been
I've lived for these few seconds
For I am Winter born

And in the fury of this darkest hour
We will be the light
You've asked me for my sacrifice
And I am Winter born
Without denying, a faith in man
That I have never known

I hear the angels call my name
And I am Winter born

Within this moment now
I am for you, though better men have failed
I will give my life for love
For I am Winter born

And in my dying I'm more alive, than I have ever been
I will make this sacrifice for I am Winter born


2. DANCE FLOOR METAPHOR

Something falls on the horizon
I see a silhouette disappear
And in the distance, I heard him cry
As he fell deeper, into this

Dull is life with a poets vice
Pretty, pretty girls and a lifetime of lies
Making something of another turn
Down an empty corridor
Smoking guns and apologies

Never given what you need
Scrap the simple games you play
And take them to the floor

Take back, take back your memory
Hitting hard, muscles bent in agony
Playing out your personal tragedy

Take back, take back the dancefloor

What's it for?
When life is shallow and the living's fast
Making love for things that'll never last
Forget your heart, forget your past
And live inside the moment

When tv's ugly and the sentiments cheap
And dreams are living outside of sleep
You can trust your heart to make you weak
And break down your fear of safety

Take back, take back your memory
Hitting hard, muscles bent in agony

Playing out your personal tragedy
Take back, take back the dancefloor

Project your heart, project your soul
Use your body, take control (3x)

When you'd make it crisp, much sharper to see
Like the spaces hidden in-between
The candy faces are all I need
To make my heartbeat faster
Laying claim in a crowded room
To the sounds of thumping buzzcut zoo

Ask forgiveness if you fail
But take the floor for me

Take back, take back your memory
Hitting hard, muscles bent in agony
Playing out your personal tragedy
Take back, take back the dancefloor

(repeat)

Project your heart, project your soul
Use your body, take control (3x)


3. RETURN (COMING HOME) - (DREAMSIDE PART II REMIX)

I've seen the terrible hand of struggle
And felt the pain the hubris brings
I have tasted the wisdom of divinity
And the horror of its sting

And though they tell you i am lost
And their words report my death is come

The fates have left me breathing still
Very much alive

And though my mind is cut by battles
Fought so long ago
I return victorious
I am coming home
And if the paths that I have followed
Have tread against the flow

There is no need for sorrow
I am coming home

For the distance I have traveled
Upon an ocean of despair
Have led me back into your arms once more
An answer to a little prayer

7. GO AWAY (FUTURE BIBLE HEROES REMIX)

Falling together in the cold grass holding hands
On the hill side watching stars descend.
Forever seems like just an empty promise
We spent so long ago

But we were younger then.

Each sour word
Sounds so absurd
But lingers
In the air
While happiness
In an ashen dress
Fades into

The years
Each lonely hour
My heart has slept
Has drifted back
To me
I splintered dream
Of awful things
That now
Have come to be

She said Go
I don't want you any more
She said Go
I don't need you now, my dearest
She said Go
I don't love you anymore
She said Go
And I heard the angels cry

For us...

Simple words that simply disappear
While silence has replaced the sound of laughter
And in the twilight memories shimmer in a
Breath of hesitation
But it only lasts a moment before its gone

But I don't Believe her


8. SINKING

Stranger the darkness a hint of perfume
Rising from your lips towards the window
The sunlight is twisting lines in my eyes
Leaving me far too dizzy, to see

What am I supposed to do?

When I feel nothing, but I want to?
What am I supposed to say?
No one ever listens, anyway

I want to forgive, and I want to forget
But I can't seem to break out of this, yet
As I'm haunted by heartache and visions of things

That widens, the gulf, between us

What am I supposed to do?
When I feel nothing, but I want to?
What am I supposed to say?
No one ever listens, anyway

13. DECEPTION

She cries, children often do
When they're cold, and hungry too,

Come closer, look deeply in her eyes
So delicate, quite unlike her smile

Life clinging backwards,
In the fall of dread confusion,
Still this silence gnaws upon your fingertips,
cold yielding breath, for instant isolation,
Far more sinister than the price of doubt,

Yet you remain,

Still you remain,

And she says:
Pray for daylight,
Pray for morning,
Pray for an end to our deception... (2x)

Life clinging backwards,
In the fall of dread confusion,
Still this silence gnaws upon your fingertips,

Cold yielding breath, for instant isolation,
Far more sinister than the price of doubt,

Yet you remain,
Still you remain,

And she says:
Pray for daylight,
Pray for morning,
Pray for an end to our deception...
