Demise And Vestige

TWO EYES FLASH IN TWILIGHT TWO THOUGHTS IN RHYME

"GRAVITIES' MINE AND I'M PREPARED"

TWO FEET MEET IN RHYTHM TWO HANDS DID FIND

THE WEAK LINK THE TOWERS' SHARE

BENEATH THEIR FOUNDATIONS A RIVERS RAGE

THE DAMM THAT STANDS REVEALS ITS AGE

FROM THE CRACKS WATER'S FLOWING

AND MAKES A LINE DIRECTLY TOWARD

THE UNKNOWING

I CAN SET A FLOOD IN MOTION FOR THE ARROGANTS PLANS

ARE ALWAYS BUILT ON SAND

LIKE THE WIND DRIVES THE RAIN THE SUBTERRANEAN WILL BRING PAIN

I CAN FEEL THE SURGE OF MADNESS IN MIND

I CAN HEAR THE MINIONS MARCHING IN TIME

I CAN TASTE THE BREATHE OF FREEDOM

I'M FREE I AM FREE I AM FREE WE ARE FREE

TO ARM THE DISSIDENT AND THE DISPOSSED

I'LL BE THERE I WILL BE THERE

TO GIVE BACKPOWER AND TAKE WHAT IT POSSESED

I'LL BE THERE I WILL BE THERE

TO LIVE OUR DREAMS AND NOT ASK WHY

WE'LL BE THERE WE WILL BE THERE

TO SCALE THE MOUNTAIN TO REIGN ON HIGH

WE'LL BE THERE WE WILL BE THERE

RELIEVE US NOW OF MISERY THE WHEELS ARE SET IN SPIN

IN MOMENTS NOW THE END BEGINS AND HERE I'LL MAKE MY STAND

TO WATCH IT

FADE AWAY FADE AWAY FADE AWAY

WATER FILLS THE WAITING EARTH AND WASHES IT SO CLEAN

SWEPT UP IN THE RUSHING WAVES NOW I FEEL WHAT I MEAN

AND I FADE AWAY FADE AWAY FADE AWAY

AND I WASH AWAY WASH AWAY FADE AWAY

IT IS STARTING

THERE'S NO STOPPING

ALL'S COLLAPSING

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

CRIES TO SCREAMS SCREAMS TO CRIES CRIES TO MOANS

FLESH TO STEEL STEEL TO FLESH CONCRETE TO BONE

WATER BLED BLUE TO RED BLOOD TO WATER

LED TO HERE LED TO WHERE? LED TO SLAUGHTER

OVERWHELMING SOUND

SWAYING BREAKING SOUND

WAILING POUNDING SOUND

CRACKING CRUMBLING SOUND

THOUGHT I COULD LOSE THE THOUGHT THAT

BROUGHT ME TO THE THOUGHT THAT

BROUGHT ME HERE TO THIS DEMISE

THOUGHT I COULD LOSE THE THOUGHT THAT

RULES US ALL AND BELIEVES THAT

ONE MUST LOSE IN ORDER TO FIND

THOUGH THE STORM INSIDE ME

GAVE ME STRENGTH TO BE A MIGHTY RIVER

I WAS STILL NOT THE TIDE

THOUGHT HE COULD FREE THE WORLD AND SO FREE HIMSELF

BUT HE WAS HIS OWN DEMISE

IT IS STILL THE DAYLIGHT COMES

BUT NOTHING MOVES NOT ANYONE

AWAKE MY BENT AND BROKEN ONES

AND COME WALK WITH ME

YOU ALL SEEM PARALYZED

HOLLOW BODIES SUNKEN EYES

BUT WE HAVE WON WE ARE ALIVE

SO COME WALK WITH ME

WALK WITH ME FOR I HAVE HEALED YOUR PAIN

I TOUCH THE GROUND MY HAND PASSES THROUGH

BUT I FEEL THE TOUCH OF ALL OF YOU

LETTING GO I SLIP INTO THE OTHER SIDE

AND YOU WALK WITH ME YOU WALK WITH ME

SENT AWAY TO A PLACE I'VE NEVER SEEN

NO FEARS OR CARES HERE ALL IS SERENE

WHERE DID I FLY AWAY TO WHERE DID I FLY AWAY?

MILLIONS OF SPIRITS HAVE BEGUN TO GATHER

IN ORDER TO BE REBORN

MILLIONS OF VOICES IN UNISON CHANTING

THAT I MUST LEAD THEM ON

I SAY "WE MUST BRING THE OPPRESSOR HERE

TO SEEK SOLACE BY MEANS OF IT'S END

AND WE MUST REDEEM OUR OWN SELVES HERE

WE MUST BE SURE IT HAS NO LIFE AFTER DEATH"

WE WILL COMFORT YOU

WE WILL BRING YOU PEACE

WE BELIEVE IN YOU

WE WILL BE RELEASED

AND THEN WE'LL FLY AWAY TO A BETTER TIME

WHAT WE'LL FIND WE'LL WAIT AND SEE

IS IT MACHINE OR MAN MAN OR MACHINE

EVERY SINGLE ONE THAT SUFFERED

WANTS YOU THEY WANT YOU

STRANGE HOW WHAT I ONCE NEEDED THEY SEEK TODAY

DEATH DID NOT GAIN THEM FREEDOM SO HERE THEY STAYED

FROM WITHIN AND FROM WITHOUT REVENGE IS OURS THERE IS NO DOUBT

AND IN BETWEEN THAT AND THIS OUR OPPRESSOR WILL TASTE THE SERPENTS KISS
