1. My Saving Grace

Here I am, having crossed the water
Still I stand, ever greater than the fallen man
Now I am

In desperation I have tried
To steal the breath of life
But I was denied

Time – passed too slowly
And I didn't wanna wait until the wine
turned back into water
Unless it was the only way
My saving grace

Here I am, scaled removed from my eyes
Still I stand, never will I be the blinded man
Still I am

2. Heaven Awaits

There is a sign,
painted up above the stars for me
When I read the words,
I know what is and what will be

Nothing else remains before me now
Mine is not to reason why,
if for my brothers I must die

Heaven awaits me on this night
(I will be waiting for you)
So I must now lay down my life
(come to me)

And on this day we must make a stand
in our Lord's sight
In spite of empty threats from those
who once stood by our side

We will cast our bread upon the waters
Yours is not to block our way
Stand aside while justice has a say

3. My War

There is life transcending, there is never-ending
There is fire in the soul of the warrior
Who was faced his demons and has turned to see them
Running to the hiding place of everything he would erase
So bear this cross before you and carry on

This is my fight, my blood, my war
Just like it was before
So now I stand against this wall
Hoping I will never fall

In this burning season there's no rhyme or reason
Left in all this disarray, ever building day by day
Counting on my hand who will take a stand
Now that I am meant to be, it all comes back to me
Pick up this cross before me now, and carry on

4. Heresy

Begin the final chapter,
having looked ahead to reveal the ending
But when the dust has settled,
nothing is the same, space and time transcending

Heresy – challenge the wisdom of the rulers drunk with power
Blasphemy – making a mockery of all that's been decreed
And everything that we believe to be

The good and faithful leader,
trusted by the flock, leads the sheep to slaughter
Will all the signs and wonders.
tested by the flame, turn to ash and water?

In the mist of illusion and the cloak of deceit
Speaking words of the prophets 'til the lie is complete

5. Morning Star

I Am light, I Am wind
He has made me beautiful like Him

Sister Eve, you are free
Take of me this knowledge from the tree

Cast out from the heavens,
I've fallen down so far
I Am the bright and Morning Star

Son of Man, see this world
It and all its kingdoms will be yours

Will you bow down before me
And have dominion over all you see?

Though my promises are vain
Clothed in beauty, courting slaves
On this throne I will soon stand
Like a god – so high above the great I AM

6. Above This World

Can someone tell me the reason I find myself here?
Is there a message in all of this sorrow and fear?
I didn't ask to be born here – as far as I know
So if there is hope beyond here, how will I know?

Take me above this world
never to touch this life again
Take me above this world
don't make me stay here anymore

Why have the Brothers and Sisters of Light fallen down?
How will we climb back up to Eden if we are so proud?
Can we get past all this sorrow and leave it behind?
Let there be light in the darkness that we will find

7. Enemy Of The Sun

How can I repay the patience that you've shown?
That remains the great unknown
There is no need for waiting
A superstar, you should be sainted now

I am – an enemy of the sun
This light will bring on a world undone

Blessed are those who you look upon with love
They're below, you are above
How else can you explain it?
You're like a god – a poor man's saviour now

8. Wheel Of Fortune

The perfect life – isn't that what you said
When all you had to do was take it?
But late at night when you're climbing the walls
You're alone and there's no way to fake it

There's no rest for those who try to live a lie
Where you stand is where you'll stay
You act like you're the hero – you're the talk of the town
Last night you were the King of the World,
but now you're coming down

On the wheel of fortune, your future spins
Round and round and round
On the wheel of fortune, you've touched the sky
But now you've hit the ground

Another night, you're pushing the edge
You want to see if you can make it
But everyone around, in your sycophantic crowd
Is wondering just how far you'll take it

9. Let There Be Light

Let the voice of freedom ring, and the power that it will bring
Let it cry, cry out to Heaven
In the heart of every man is a message set by his Maker's own hand
And that is the Law
How can you just look away while your brother is bound up in chains?

Let there be light, brought back again
To the people of the desert sand
That they may live, we die again
For the freedom of the common man

Of the nations of the Earth
Who will commit their blood to another man's worth?
Who will stand and be counted?
As you live behind your wall
Closing your eyes while the ones who protected you fall
Is that all you are?

If they ignore us again
There'll be no-one to speak up for them

10. Burning Again

After all we've done and seen, what is left to do but carry on?
In the grand design of things, can we find a way to feed the spawn
Of all our energy, will we find it written on the wall?
Through all is vanity, should we throw it down or heed the call

Burning Again
Like a long lost friend who's found his way back home
The past forgotten left to roam, and to this end we hope to find
The inspiration that's been left behind

And when all the credits roll, all will see the sequel in their minds
Reaching down inside my soul, to conjure up the magic one more time
To change the muse in me, in spite of what the doubters all may say
Every fiber of my being screams to rise above those in the way

Burning Again – it's never going to end
Those who may pretend to know my deepest thoughts,
Are victims of my vengeance brought to bear upon their wicked lives
And soon poetic justice falls in line

And though the smoke obscures the lies, it's only a disguise
