Not near a God He was old Alone with greying hair Gave not his name He just spoke He had something to share Every day I found him I listened to his words And just from the tone in his voice I could tell he had been through the worst There is one thing he always told me Keep your head to the sky There is something on the horizon His kindness, his passion Overruled his past transgression His light shone through the cracks The darkness never phased him He let his scars change him ‘Cause now he knows who is the better man So I listened to this soul Who had and lost it all Wondering how he survived He said he raged against those Who stood in his way He fought for the second try He said he never went quiet Into the night Not until he made it right Keep your head to the sky! Blue skies on the... Horizon! I only ever asked one question Why does war divide us? He said, If death is our freedom, Our solace is silence

Together 04:06
Claims of the weak Outweighed by the rotten They will lose no sleep Whilst we freeze in the cold We take what we need Even though what we wanted Was a place that we could call home A place that we could call home Reduced to dirt Dust in the air Rise and fall We met your stare Raise the flag Sing together as one I’ll meet you there at the rising of the sun! Together we run To meet the rising sun Where we will find Hope... The huddled masses Heed the call If we don’t fight We get nothing at all! We don’t move We stand very still The silence in the air is enough to kill Enough to kill You watched us break You watched us bleed You took away what it meant to be free We won’t forgive And we will not forget We were the ones who were oppressed! Together we run To meet the rising sun Where we will find Hope... Everyone Everyone stand up.. Stand up... Together we run To meet the rising sun Where we will find Hope! Together!

Ocean 04:29
The darkest nights have come to pass These past few months believed to be my last The thought I held onto with both hands Were images of the golden sands How the shore opened to the ocean Revealing the sun that never sets The blood red lights bleed into the water Flowing down a river of no regrets And the storm will bring the clouds But don’t think that I will back down I have come too far to fall back down And it's way too late to turn back now I’m soaring The light that I had within my eyes Will light again in good health and time I’m calling And when the sun lights up the sky I will sit back, smile and remember why It's dawning There could be no light without the dark I could not appreciate these feelings in my heart When I was falling Falling I cast my rod out into the ocean Waiting for a fish that will feed me The day is long and the ocean is deep It will take time to find a catch to keep The hope that rests within my smile Thinking that the wait will be worth the while But the rain will fall and it always will And the wind just solidifies the chill I have come too far to fall back down And it's way too late to turn back now I’m soaring The light that I had within my eyes Will light again in good health and time I’m calling And when the sun lights up the sky I will sit back, smile and remember why It's dawning There could be no light without the dark I could not appreciate these feelings in my heart When I was falling Falling And the storm gets stronger still Breaking off pieces and chipping at my will But the sun will rise again This night soon will end I have come too far to fall back down And it's way too late to turn back now I’m soaring! There could be no light without the dark I could not appreciate these feelings in my heart When I was... Falling! I have come too far to fall back down And it's way too late to turn back now I’m soaring! The light that I had within my eyes Will light again in good health and time I’m calling! And when the sun lights up the sky I will sit back, smile and remember why It's dawning! There could be no light without the dark I could not appreciate these feelings in my heart When I was falling

Running through the dark Trying to find the parts left of me I set off the spark That tore apart everything Pulling away debris Trying to hold onto little things But I caused this My mind is out of control It keeps on screaming these words It keeps on singing this song! I am the sickness I am the problem I am the downfall Of countless forgotten And they fall Like drops of pouring rain Never to be seen again Silence follows the storm And we can’t We can’t remember those we’ve lost Can’t remember those we’ve trusted They have joined the countless forgotten The winter came And blew away my warmth and care The ashes fell Down from grace unto my hair And in the ruins Below the dirt I heard you screaming and calling out I am the sickness I am the problem I am the downfall Of countless forgotten And they fall Like drops of pouring rain Never to be seen again Silence follows the storm And we can’t We can’t remember those we’ve lost Can’t remember those we’ve trusted They have joined the countless forgotten The countless forgotten And they fall Like drops of pouring rain Never to be seen again Silence follows the storm And we can’t We can’t remember those we’ve lost Can’t remember those we’ve trusted They have joined the countless forgotten! And they’re gone Sickness! Gone Problem! Gone Downfall! Gone Forgotten!

I watched him fight For the last time Hoping he’d pull through I saw him shake Cold as ice I think he always knew I tried to pull him from the darkness Hoping he’d follow the drums But as it got colder The darkness grew closer Nothing more could be done And with his last breath Looking to someone that wasn’t there he said Please love, don’t cry I can make it alright Look at me one more time Show me please that beautiful smile Hush now, it’s fine Everyone has their time I’ll meet you where The ocean ends And there is nothing but Blue skies Merely a man who slipped into the night Because today is the day he made it right And I will remember, remember, remember I will remember, remember, remember! If death is our freedom Our solace is silence So please take me higher Into the sky I want to be with him And some day I will find Where the sun met your eyes Upon the horizon
