1. Intro
[Instrumental]
2. Black out the Sun
Black out the sun
Is this the end of our misery?
Empty words and a shallow lie
Once told to me
But I shut it out
Black out your heart
No need to feel for your enemy
Fear is a weapon
To control your sanity
But I shut it out
Cause
when the hero dies
And the truth becomes a lie
Blackout the sun
Blackout your dreams
And wake up to reality
They're coming for your children
And counting on your apathy
So shut it down
Cause when the hero dies
And the truth becomes a lie
You'll live in spite or live as one
You're free to run
Black out the sun
I'm bleeding, believing the fool inside
Another social suicide
When the hero dies
And the truth becomes a lie
We'll live in spite or live as one
You're free to run
Black out the sun
3. Landslide
Bury me in your clever words
Head down following the herd
Everybody's fool walking a straight line
Enemy so sly and serpentine
And so on we go
Into the corners of your mind
Another lost in time
Caught beneath the Landslide
Landslide
Comfort me with your broken smile
Suffer me a life that's in denial
You've come to break the mold
Your story's all been told but your heart lies
In the darkness of your soul
And so on we go
Into the corners of your mind
A brother lost in time
Caught beneath the Landslide
Landslide
How can we fight with our hands tied
Caught beneath the Landslide
Waiting for the sunrise to cross into the light
But tonight I'm taking what is mine
Landslide
Landslide
How can we fight with our hands tied
Beneath the Landslide
Caught beneath the Landslide
Cross into the light
Read between the lines
4. Gods and Tyrants
It's been days since I crawled in this hole
This silent space plagues us all
As the days grow long
I'm troubled even more
Keep your head down
It won't be very long
I want you to hold on
May mercy crown us all
Suffering in silence
As we stumble and we fall
Hold on there must be something more
Than gods and tyrants
The writings on the wall
Since the very day I was born
This been black cloud hangs outside my door
Come what may
We've suffered so much worse before
Lift your head up. I'll stand before I fall
That shadow in your soul
It's time to let it go
I want you to hold on
May mercy crown us all
Suffering in silence
As we stumble and we fall
Hold on there must be something more
Than gods and tyrants
The writings on the wall
Hold on
May mercy crown us all
Suffering in silence
As we stumble and we fall
Hold on there must be something more
Than gods and tyrants
The writings on the wall
5. Year of the Gun
I drive myself into an early grave
To a faith I've become a slave
The Butcher, the baker
It's all common place
Everybody's got one
And they're taking aim at you
Another hit and run
In the year of the gun
Gun
In the year of the gun
Gun
In the year of the gun
Come and take in so many ways
Are you safe? Another debt to pay
In track suits or jack boots
It's all the same
Bite your tongue
Before they rip it out of you
Have we come undone
In the year of the gun
Gun
In the year of the gun
Gun
In the year of the gun
One comes undone and
one life is stolen
Hands dead and cold
Your laws are misspoken
We reach for the sun
Only to be shackled up in chains
In the year of the gun
Gun
In the year of the gun
6. Give up the Ghost
I've been down in the fires of hell
And came back with a story to tell
Talk of fire and division, war and indecision
Rotting inside this shell
Flash back to a time of greed
Habits you need to feed
When you're climbing the ladder
Nothing else matters
If you're finished or incomplete
But I've seen harder times
And simple minds
When I needed you the most
Give up the ghost - Give up the ghost
All those wicked lies by design
From the pillar, to the post
Give up the ghost of me
And move along
Just let it die
Jump up, jump back and get down
The circus is back in town
Fake it till you make it
I hate to break it to you the sun's gone down
But you can't run from the devil
Cause everybody loves a clown
All your shiny things and golden rings
Will hold you till you drown
But I've seen harder times
And simple minds
When I needed you the most
Give up the ghost - Give up the ghost
All those wicked lies by design
From the pillar, to the post
Give up the ghost of me
And move along
Just let it die
You wear that smile
Like a crown of thorns
And all the bitterness
Won't keep you safe from the storm
I've seen harder times and simple minds
When I needed you the most
Give up the ghost - Give up the ghost
All those wicked lies by design
From the pillar to the post
Give up the ghost of me and move along
And keep on running
7. The Unknown
Under a curse lies the unknown
Hanging on faith and a mordant tone
Under a rock in a petrified zone
I'm buried alive in the slippery mud
Trying to survive while I'm squeezing the blood
from a stone
Frozen in time and I'm deeply entwined
It's fools gold, I can't say that it's not in vain
The space between God and machine
An energy of emotion
We are the space between God and machine
A truth better left unspoken
On a plain of digital debris
And the burnout glow of L.E.D.
Encrypted syllables
Heard in a bartered exchange of fate
Where the new gods play games with the souls
that they create
And redemption's been traded in the name of desire
And freedoms adrift
In flames in a floating pyre
I can't say that it's not in vain
I can't say that it'll ever change
But we scratch and we crawl just the same
Can you blame
The space between God and machine
An energy of emotion
We are the space between God and machine
A truth better left unspoken
And still we fight on
The space between God and machine
An energy of emotion
We are the space between God and machine
A truth better left unspoken
8. Sword from the Stone
You've broken all your fingers
And pay dearly for the thrill
Can't shake the feeling that lingers
Cut out your tongue
For a stolen moment still
Child of sin
Heroine
Caught in division
An empty throne
Someone pull the sword from the stone
Just pull the sword from the stone
A sun that blisters your skin
Burning a hole in your brain
In a world of compromise
I am the spider to your fly
You don't believe
you don't get to decide
Child of sin
Heroine
Caught in division
An empty throne
Someone pull the sword from the stone
Someone pull the sword from my side
We pay for all of your sins
But my idols are dead
And my enemies pretend
We're not falling into a trap
Child of sin
Heroine
Caught in division
An empty throne
Someone pull the sword from the stone
9. Electrified
Only a fool would take his own life
Let it be ruled by sickness and strife
A life electric and ever so bright
Come break the mold or give up the fight
I have the power an absence of pride
Call me a savior a God up on high
And you will follow me till the end of time
Time and Tide
Wait for no man alive
The good, the bad divide
The wolves are at the door
And I'm Electrified
I've said it all the truth can't be denied
Zealots have spoken and rumors can fly
Spite and destruction, Anti-Christ on high
The sheep will follow you till the end of time
Time and Tide
Wait for no man alive
The good, the bad divide
The wolves are at the door
And I'm Electrified
Only a fool would take what is mine
Spoils of the war will never will be right
I'm not a dog, I'm not a slave
I'm not controlled I'm not afraid
And I'll follow you in this life time
Time and Tide
Wait for no man alive
The good, the bad divide
The wolves are at the door
And I'm Electrified
10. Love and War
Calling out to the broken
Calling out to the victims of the world
Grab a hold of the future
Break away from the master
that you serve
Devil on your shoulder
Lock all the doors
Tell me what's worth fighting for
All is fair in love and war
But I know
there must be something more
Falling out with creation
Falling out with everything you know
Throw away with conviction
Anything that ever came before
Angel on your shoulder
Screaming at the door
It's all worth fighting for
All is fair in love and war
But I know
there must be something more
Something more
All is fair in love and war
Model citizen
At war with my soul
I work my fingers to the bone
To fit a mold and keep up
with the jones
All is fair in love and war
But I know
there must be something more
Something more
All is fair in love and war
11. False Flag
A mother lives in mourning
Another soul for sale
By the grace of God I'm calling
Coldly, bold and pale
You've come with no warning
And left me in despair
Bleed the brave
And the innocent to death
You're not fooling me
Raise up that false flag
For all the world to see
Break our backs,
Break our hearts
But you're never gonna break me
Tear down that false flag
And burn it in the streets
There's blood in the streets
A lost generation
Blaming those before
A Judas of creation
A damning course of war
We rival for the few
Who split us all in two
Confrontation and damnation
The finger points at you
You're not fooling me
Raise up that false flag
For all the world to see
Break our backs,
Break our hearts
But you're never gonna break me
Tear down that false flag
And burn it in the streets
There's blood in the streets
Don't take me down
I've seen it now
The beast that you feed
Alive in the streets
You're not fooling me
Raise up that false flag
For all the world to see
Break our backs,
Break our hearts
But you're never gonna break me
Tear down that false flag
And burn it in the streets
There's blood in the streets
You've come with no warning
And left me in despair
Bleed the brave and the innocent
The finger points at you
You're not fooling me
Raise up that false flag
For all the world to see
Break our backs,
Break our hearts
But you're never gonna break me
Tear down that false flag
And burn it in the streets
There's blood in the streets
12. The Light
Are you at peace?
Are you still?
Have you come to replay
A life that's been betrayed?
A road to ruin
The direction of the day
A soul free to run
Don't bring your poison to my door
Blind with a notion
And rotted at the core
It's all wasted down you go
A single shot and now you know
The light is there to fool you
Where the road and sky collide
I'll be the ghost by your side
Can you stop the bleeding
I cannot change the past
A call from the future
A love that didn't last
I can't embrace the change
or guide you on your path
But the light is there to lead you
Now you know
Where the road and sky collide
I'll be the ghost by your side
Where the road and sky come alive
I'll be the ghost by your side
Cause we're running out of time
Are you at peace?
Are you still?
Where the road and sky collide
I'll be the ghost by your side
Where the road and sky collide
I'll be the ghost by your side
Cause we're running out of time
So let me ride

Another social suicide
When the hero dies
