It’s the sunlight
It’s the way it lights the room
Illuminating all the darkest things we do
It’s a floodlight
To the corners of our mind
Busting up the theory that we’re good and true
But I want more than ecstasy
I’ve come for war, there is no peace
So turn it up
It’s the fallen man parade
Dancing like the world is such a lovely place
And shoot it up
Like a bullet to your brain
And kiss away your freedom cause you’re all insane
But I feel it breakin’ free
The bravery inside of me
Ariel, how far can you see?
Ariel, I’m staring at the enemy
Ariel, tonight we fight
I’m a silhouette
I’m a serum in your bones
Rushing through your veins ’till every nerve is warm
I’m a pirouette
I’m the calm before the storm
To pull you from the embers, now you’ve been reborn
Ariel, how far can you see?
Ariel, I’m staring at the enemy
Ariel, tonight we fight
Ariel, when will you come down?
Ariel, and turn this world around
Ariel, tonight, tonight, tonight

I was hoping I would find you
Is this what you had in mind?
Cause a road like this takes years to travel
And we don’t have much time
Some will die of restless wanting
Some will waste away within
And someone will scatter their ashes cause that’s all that’s left of them
Some will die for lack of hunger
Some will never feed again
And no one will ever know their number or ever call their name
So why do we toil?
For silver cups and best of luck and rights of passage for kin
And what do we spoil?
If all the love spend is binded by our sin and everyone will end where they begin
Some will drown under a fortune
Some will rot under a bridge
And someone will bury the evidence to hide the things they did
Some will end it with a needle
Some will end it in their sleep
And no one will ever remember the promises they keep
So why do we toil?
For little pearls and baby girls and all the lust that burns within
And what do we spoil?
If all the love spend is binded by our sin and everyone will end where they begin
Some will die for their resistance
Some will burn up at the stake
And someone will clean their bodies and wake them up again
So why do I toil?
For ancient words that sing the verse of how the blood and water flow
And what do I spoil?
If all that I’ve been told is a lie that I’ve been sold
But I don’t wanna pay for what I did

Easier to Kneel

Show me your perfect life
Can you see it?
What do you dream that it should be?
Is it a peaceful home in the distance?
Or is it an endless reverie?
This is more than benevolence dear
This is the chance of a lifetime
It’s yours, take it
Is it the only way to remember?
Is it the best way to forget?
If it’s the quiet voice that’s a bother
Than why is it ringing in your head?
This is a trade for the decadence dear
This is the chance of a lifetime
It’s yours, take it
I saw a vision cast in the water
I felt a holy rush of blood
A fist and a flame the mark of the potter
Comes like a raging yellow sun
Look in the mirror your the evidence
This is the chance of a lifetime
It’s yours, take it
Running spins the wheel
Fire bends the steel
If crying helps you deal
The pain is real
But it’s easier to kneel
Maybe there’s nothing here in the offer
Maybe it’s only how I feel
Maybe your destiny is to wander
Or maybe it’s easier to kneel

One boy breaks the womb
One crawls from his tomb
One finds empty words
Sets out to get what he deserves
And one is devotion
I was born a child of reason
I will die one step from freedom
One will stand and brace
One will hide his face
One pours liquor on the flame
King of diamonds begging for a name
And one is ignition
Have I not been separated?
You don’t know how long I’ve waited
O I wanna live forever
We said we’re never gonna die
O never’s comin’
O show me the way to heaven
This world has turned me down
One will find it hard
One will disregard
One will die alone
Just another wasted piece of stone
And one is the chosen
Take my hands if I’m not able
One more drink will make me stable
O I wanna live forever
We said we’re never gonna die
O never’s comin’
O show me the way to heaven
This world has turned me down
Light it up
Light it up
Burn it down
Burn it down
O I wanna live forever
We said we’re never gonna die
O never’s comin’
O show me the way to heaven
This world has turned me down

I Had My Reasons

7 days and 7 nights I worked
And I had my reasons
40 days and 40 nights I walked
And I had my reasons
I thought nothing of the place I’d left
I had my reasons
Spurned the haughty for the blind and deaf
And I had my reasons
Hold on
You don’t understand
I’ve hurt
More than any man
I knew
I knew it was coming
I kneeled down upon the grass and wept
And I had my reasons
Crushed beneath the sons of men I slept
And I had my reasons
Hold on
You don’t understand
I’ve hurt
More than any man
I knew
I knew it was coming
Felt the fire rushing through my chest
And I had my reasons
There is no body where I laid to rest
And I had my reasons
