Tranquilizer (Intro)

|
Oh tranquilizer
Bring me down
Lift me up
Carry me away
Because I'm sick inside with worry
And I need to lie down for a while
And close my eyes for a while
Until it subsides
Oh sweet tranquilizer set me free

Like a pond
All is still until
A rock is thrown in
And the surface breaks
I feel my blood boil in me
Churning like waves on a stormy sea
All shall quake from the wrath I rage
The people will tremor from my rampage
The sky will burn the heads will roll
The mourners will weep the bells will toll
Until my hunger for vengeance does sate
All peace in the world will have to wait
All seasons must change
And the moon will wane
But there will come a day
When I'll rise again

Swallowed in Black
06:24
|

|
There must be an end somewhere soon
I've been down this road so long
And there's no turning back
Just an endless stretch of black
So here I languish
And wallow in anguish
My spirit is wracked
I'm swallowed in black
There has got to be a break ahead
From this endless nightmare of dread
As the clouds cover the moon
I know for me it's getting darker soon
So here I languish
And wallow in anguish
My spirit is wracked
I'm swallowed in black

Time in Stasis
06:55

|
I'm waiting for the sun to rise
But its already light
I'm waiting for the hammer to fall
Or not at all
I'm something like Schrödinger's cat
Stuck between two states
And aren't I just like us all
Lamenting our fates
A thirst never quenched
A hunger never sated
Except when we are
Pleasantly sedated
I can't slow down although
I feel like I'm standing still
And I'm so tired
That I can't sleep
We're all treading water
In a dark icy sea
Wailing for salvation
While we thrash in misery
A thirst never quenched
A hunger never sated
Except when we are
Pleasantly sedated
Lost in our
Inner spaces
A timeless time
In statis

Dark Before the Dawn
05:20
|
|||
|
O say does the sky look grey and especially dark today
Or is it just me, you see my whole life's a haze
Is it going to rain or just remain this malingering grey
I just can't seem to lift myself from this malaise
But I recall the sun
Though its so far away
I recall the sun
And the warmth of its rays
Just enough hope resides inside me to lament its loss
And when I sleep its never deep I just turn and toss
I still recall the dawn although it seems so far gone
I'd just like to know how long I'm meant to carry on

Tenacity
04:52
|
|||
|
There's a tree whose roots span between two rocks
Though its not strong, it hangs on
Despite the decay it remains
And we must do the same
If a life without pain has no meaning
Then doesn’t that just validate us all
If pain is just weakness leaving the body
Then look how strong we are
There's a pyramid four thousand years old
And there it stays to this day
Despite the decay it remains
And we must do the same

Earendel

|
You ask where the heroes have all gone
But you have been here all along
And once we all call the tune
The sun will be here soon
This is the dawn of a brand new day
A light for those to find their way
Hear the dawn herald's call
Earendel the morning star
You say you've had all you can take
But I say don't go tempting fate
We're all in for a long, dark night
Prepare to fight

Tranquilizer (Outro)
04:08
|
|||
|
Oh tranquilizer
Bring me down
Lift me up
Carry me away
Because I'm nervous as hell
Resolution is so far away
I don't know
How I can wait that long
And then time passes and everything's alright.
