3. The willow it weeps today
A breeze from the distance is calling your name
Unfurl your black wings and wait
Across the horizon it’s coming to sweep you away
It’s coming to sweep you away
LET THE WIND CARRY YOU HOME
BLACKBIRD FLY AWAY
MAY YOU NEVER BE BROKEN AGAIN
The fragile cannot endure
The wrecked and the jaded a place so impure
The static of the this cruel word
Cause some birds to fly long before they’ve seen their day
Long before they’ve seen their day
LET THE WIND CARRY YOU HOME
BLACKBIRD FLY AWAY
MAY YOU NEVER BE BROKEN AGAIN
BEYOND THE SUFFERING YOU’VE KNOWN
I HOPE YOU FIND YOUR WAY
MAY YOU NEVER BE BROKEN AGAIN
Ascend may you find no resistance
Know that you made such a difference
All you leave behind will live to the end
The cycle of suffering goes on
But the memories of you stay strong
Someday I too will fly and find you again
(Chorus)

THAN THE ONES THAT TEAR US APART.

6. 1 TIES THAT BIND
I tear on the leash
That keeps me contained and controlled
Let me go
I want to break free
And bite my way out of this hole
ONE LAST HOPE
TO RISE AND BREAK AWAY
ABOVE THE FADED LINE
WAY BEYOND THE TIES THAT BIND
THIS I KNOW
THE RISK IS WORTH THE GAIN
IT’S WORTH THE SACRIFICE
WAY BEYOND THE TIES THAT BIND
I run but the chains
Pull me right back to the floor
You control
I rattle the cage
I won’t be your slave anymore
(Chorus)
You broke me into pieces
Don’t tell me what to be
Damn you all I’m gonna find my way
(Chorus)
2 COME TO LIFE
Hey
Tore away the veil of weakness
The enemy now lies beneath us
I think we’re safe
Hey
Won’t be held down any longer
No disgrace and no dishonor
Keep us chained
THERE’S NOTHINGWE SHOULD HAVETO FEAR
IT’S ALRIGHT
WE’VE COME TO LIFE
WE’LL NEVER SHED ANOTHER TEAR
IT’S ALRIGHT
WE’VE COME TO LIFE
Hey
The bulletproof are so resilient
To every fool with an opinion
They never break
By the way
We scream to find a reason
Never doubt or stop believing
And escape
(Chorus)
Now wicked tongues can speak
And rewrite history
But you can’t keep the truth contained
And like the song was sung
Just realize we’re one
And don’t forget were here to stay
(Chorus)
3 BRAND NEW START
Against the sky
Streams of light
Call out to me and you
We leave as one
We’ve just begun
To find the solace we’re due
This is the life we must choose
WE WILL MAKE A BRAND NEW START
FROM THE PIECES TORN APART
THE BREAK OF DAY IS BEFORE US
CAST YOUR SORROWS TO THE WIND
LET THE HIGHWAY TAKE US IN
AS WE ESCAPE THE DISORDER
This desert road
That we call home
This is our destiny
We’ll chase the setting sun
As we outrun
A life of agony
God how we ache to be free
(Chorus 2x)
WE’LL MAKE OUR WAY
WE’LL MAKE OUR WAY
WE’LL MAKE OUR WAY
WE’LL MAKE OUR WAY
4 BURIED ALIVE
I twist and turn
In the darkest space
Can’t find my worth
As I numb the pain
Glass to the sky
With a blacktooth grin
This whiskey smile
Takes me down again
I’m cold and I’m so afraid
That I’m too weak and I can’t change
I’VE BEEN BURIED ALIVE AND
I DON’T WANT TO BE HERE ANYMORE
REACHED OUT A THOUSAND TIMES FOR
A HAND TO PULL ME FROM BELOW
I’VE BEEN BURIED ALIVE IN A WORLD
OF CONSTANT SORROW
REACH DOWN TONIGHT SET ME FREE....
SAVE TOMORROW
Another shot
Slip into the haze
Another night
Soaked in my disgrace

7. Toast to the lie
I’ll raise my glass and run
A wasted life
What have I become?
(Chorus)
SAVE TOMORROW
SAVE TOMORROW
Let me breath again
Show me where I begin
To find the will to change
Before I lose everything
(Chorus)
REACH DOWN TONIGHT SET ME FREE
AND I WILL FOLLOW
5 COMING HOME
As I peel away
All the years of pain
I discovered what’s been all along
You were so right
I was so wrong
Every shooting star
They all fall so hard
They all fade like a played out song
Now is the time
Before all is lost
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
SO I’M COMING HOME
LOST ON ROAD I DON’T BELONG
I’LL REST MY SONG
I’M SO ALONE
FAR FROM STREETS I CALL MY OWN
I’M COMING HOME
Rushing back to me
As the city sleeps
So afraid of what I will find
Memories they haunt
From deep inside
Every broken man
Comes to understand
That he’ll never find paradise
When all that he wants
Was there all the time
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
SO I’M COMING HOME
LOST ON ROAD I DON’T BELONG
I’LL REST MY SONG
I’M SO ALONE
FAR FROM STREETS I CALL MY OWN
SO I’M COMING HOME
BACK TO A WORLD LEFT LONG AGO
AND NOW I KNOW
I’M COMING HOME
I’LL FIND MY WAY BACK
I’M LETTING GO
I’M COMING HOME
We come to find
What we take for granted
Keeps us alive in the end
So don’t let time
Leave you empty handed
Reach out tonight and make amends
SO I’M COMING HOME
BACK TO THE PLACE WHERE I BELONG
I’LL REST MY SONG
I’M SO ALONE
FAR FROM THE STREETS I CALL MY OWN
SO I’M COMING HOME
BACK TO A WORLD LEFT LONG AGO
NOW I KNOW
I’M COMING HOME
I’LL FIND MY WAY BACK
I’M COMING HOME
I’M COMING HOME
6 BEFORE TOMORROW COMES
I couldn’t sleep I had to listen
To a conscience knowing so well
That nothing comes from indifference
I look inside of myself
Will I find some kind of conviction?
Will I bid the hero farewell?
Will I be defined by things that could have been?
I guess time will only tell
I guess time will only tell
SO DON’T LET IT BE
BEFORE TOMORROW COMES
BEFORE YOU TURN AWAY
TAKE THE HAND IN NEED
BEFORE TOMORROW COMES
YOU COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING
I curse my worth and every comfort
That blinded me for way to long
Damn it all I’ll make a difference from now on
Cause I’m wide awake to it all
Cause I’m wide awake to it all
(Chorus)
Does anyone care it ain’t right what were doing?
Doesanyonecareitain’trightwhereweregoing?
Does anyone dare justify how were living?
Does anyone here care at all?
(Chorus)
WE COULD BE SO MUCH MORETHANWEARE
WE COULD BE SO MUCH MORETHANWEARE
WE COULD BE SO MUCH MORETHANWEARE
OH THIS MUCH I KNOW

9. 7 RISE TODAY
The wind is blowing cold
Have we lost our way tonight?
Have we lost our hope to sorrow?
Feels like were all alone
Running further from what’s right
And there are no more heroes to follow
So what are we becoming?
Where did we go wrong?
YEAH, YEAH
I WANT TO RISE TODAY AND
CHANGE THIS WORLD
YEAH, YEAH
OH WON’T YOU RISE TODAY AND
CHANGE THIS WORLD?
The sun is beating down
Are we ever gonna change
Can we stop the blood from running?
Our time is running out
Hope we find a better way
Before we find we’re left with nothing
For every life that’s taken
So much love is wasted
(Chorus)
YEAH, YEAH
SO WON’T YOU RISE TODAY AND
CHANGE THIS WORLD?
This world
Only love can set it right
This world
If only peace would never die
Seems to me that we’ve got each other wrong
Was the enemy just your brother all along?
(Chorus)
YEAH, YEAH
OH WON’T YOU RISE TODAY AND CHANGE
THIS WORLD?
(Chorus 2x)
8 the blackbird
(See other side for lyrics)
9 ONE BY ONE
Underneath the desert sun
They bid my brother’s blood to run
Many miles away
Hell has come today
Fire raining from the sky
See the face of fear asking one last time
Let me get home safe
Before it’s too late
ONE BY ONE
THE BRAVE WILL FALL
LIFE IS LOST AGAIN
THEY GAVE IT ALL
Deep within the castle walls
So many grieve as funeral songs
Echo endlessly
Ode to memories
This sacrifice of flesh and blood
For a promised land that may not be won
Let us not forget the hero laid to rest
(Chorus)
And they gave it all
A price we can’t ignore
Is there hope in what they’re dying for?
For every hero born
From every family torn
We will honor you forevermore
(Chorus 2x)
10 WATCH OVER YOU
Leaves are on the ground
Fall has come
Blue skies turning grey
Like my love
I tried to carry you
And make you whole
But it was never enough
I must go
WHO IS GONNA SAVE YOU
WHEN I’M GONE?
WHO’LL WATCH OVER YOU
WHEN I’M GONE?
You say you care for me
But hide it well
How can you love someone
And not yourself?
(Chorus)
And when I’m gone
Who will break your fall?
Who will you blame?
I can’t go on
And let you lose it all
It’s more than I can take
Who’ll ease your pain?
Ease your pain
WHO IS GONNA SAVE YOU
WHEN I’M GONE?
WHO’LL WATCH OVER YOU?
WHO WILL GIVE YOU STRENGTH
WHEN YOU’RE NOT STRONG?
WHO’LL WATCH OVER YOU WHEN I’VE
GONE AWAY?
Snow is on the ground
Winters come
You long to hear my voice
But I’m long gone

10. 11 BREAK ME DOWN
It’s too late the time has come
I’ve kept this inside me for way too long
Silence will leave me cold
Lost on a highway that never takes me home
I WANT TO STEP ASIDE
I WANT TO GIVE IT UP
BEFORE I LOSE IT ALL
IT’S TEARING ME INSIDE
THE WAY YOU BREAK ME DOWN
OH THERE WILL COME A TIME
WHEN I WILL COME UNDONE
AND YOU WILL LET ME FALL
I’LL LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND
BEFORE YOU BREAK ME DOWN
The weight of a thousand lies
Promises broken haunt me all the time
You say that you’re sure to change
But that black heart reveals that
you’ll always stay the same
(Chorus)
I realize
Forgiveness
Is calling
It’s calling
I’ve denied
The reason
I’m falling
I’m falling
So let go
(Chorus)
12 WHITE KNUCKLES
Are you still lost tonight?
Living but dead inside
This is a proclamation
This is a call to rise
Are you abused, alone?
Walking with broken bones
If you feel you’ve been forgotten
Let this song guide you home
We are the disillusioned
We’ve been left wanting more
Before every aspiration hits the floor
HOLD ON FOR YOU LIFE
ALL WE FEEL IS SO FAR FROM ALIVE
THE DAMNED ARE DONE BELIEVING
THE CURSED CAN DREAM NO MORE
SO HOLD ON FOR YOUR LIFE
BECAUSE ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE
They tell you what you should be
Sell you the plastic dream
Opinions are all provided
But nothing is what it seems
I dare you to take control
Cause empty are hands and
bruised are the souls
Of those who show no resistance
Of those who are weak below
We are the disenchanted
Who die with each passing day
No one here understands us so I say
(Chorus)
How will it feel?
To live a lie until your dying day
Where nothing is real
As we sacrifice bending until we break
It’s been revealed
Hold on for your life
Dreams are not theirs to take...
dreams are not theirs to take
HOLD ON FOR YOU LIFE
ALL WE FEEL IS SO FAR FROM ALIVE
THE DAMNED ARE DONE BELIEVING
THE CURSED CAN DREAM NO MORE
SO HOLD ON FOR YOUR LIFE
BECAUSE ONLY THE STRONG
I SAID ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE
13 WAYWARD ONE
And they cry
And they call
As the wayward walk alone
City lights
Urban sprawl
In a place no one should know
Shown no grace
Shown no love
These mean streets are meant for none
TAKE THEM BACK TO THE START
LET THE PUREST OF HEART
KNOW THEIR WORTH IS STILL SPOKEN
AS THEY FIGHT TO EXIST
WE NEGLECT AND RESIST
LET THIS CIRCLE BE BROKEN
Broken homes
Broken lives
They repeat themselves in time
It’s passed on
Down the line
Till we heal the wounds inside
It’s not too late
To make things right
Dress the wounds with loves pure light
(Chorus)
They’re still waiting
They still cry
They want to know they’ll be all right
All I’m saying
Can we try?
To bring the wayward ones back home tonight
Bring the wayward one back home tonight
(Chorus)
