1.
And the full moon abandons the stars And the stars abandon the sky Oh, how long will we survive When our sight abandons our eyes? And the whole world abandons the Sun But the Sun still sits in the sky Oh, how long will we survive When we sacrifice our sight? Give us back the moon And give us back our stars We listen closely to The desires of our heart
2.
She never wants to talk about it She just stares down at the floor Hoping that the storm will pass on Nothing really seems to change Every day and night it hails and rains And she just stares at the floor... Dead Silence interrupts her chaos And brings time to a halt Pure Silence interrupts her chaos And brings peace to her heart Dead Silence interrupts her chaos Dead Silence brings peace to her heart She always wants to talk about it She just stares into his eyes Hoping that the storm will pass on Everything in her has changed Yet every day and night it hails and rains And he just stares at the floor... Dead Silence interrupts his chaos And brings time to a halt Pure Silence interrupts his chaos And brings peace to his heart Dead Silence interrupts his chaos Dead Silence brings peace to his heart The storm has gone away, the Sun's revealed, the sky is clear And fear is stripped away from their hearts Never has there been such a joyous atmosphere A perfectly encaptured work of art

We go to sleep amidst the screams We dream all night about our needs We never see the warring beasts (Neglect the screams as you sleep) Oh, there must be more But I just can’t find it I can see ahead But I can’t see beyond The world’s waking I am shaking There’s a bright light In the sky
4.
Facing South Fixated eyes that feast on famished gods Who built nothing with their hands And yet we bow to them The ones who constantly pull us away from this Existence that we have all come to know Facing North Fixated eyes that feast on holy words That give everything for us to breathe and live Throughout the final days as things come to a close And we endure all afflictions patiently
5.
Been away for years Haven’t heard your name at all Passing time in isolation Yet never once did I call… This distant state of neglect Is draining blood from my neck I’d cry for help if I needed you Turn away and close your eyes I’ll save myself, I never wanted you (at all)
6.
Promise me one thing Promise me you’ll carry on When my time has ended And when my soul has gone Don’t look back and fill yourself with past regrets Don’t listen to the world and fool yourself again Don’t drain yourself from holding on to anxieties Let the light guide every step so you can always see See the world for what it is Just keep your distance See yourself for who you are Engage mortal resistance Never close your eyes And never look back You’ll never find the cure The cure is life from truth and light That knocks at your door It’s only a moment That we will spend apart When your time has ended We will be amongst the stars

The Sun won’t leave the sky In prophetic dreams that tell us What it means to live and die And serve and kill We know now what this means So lift us up and give us life As we breathe you in And always glorify The conqueror of night Who will never leave or die As we breathe you in We have been justified By the conqueror of night Who will never leave or die
9.
Messengers scream out in the city at midnight With warnings of the end times for every soul to hear People wake and they take to the streets Seeking out the ones who bear the Sun with torches of revelation Messengers are slain and all is silent The world grows dark and violent with riots in the streets Evil lies in the hearts of the crowds As they steal, kill, and destroy themselves with weapons and deceit Fire rains down Earth splits wide open Plagues spread through the city Birds feast on the dead No one will live The time has come For night to end And earth to be destroyed Nothing survives Nothing breathes
10.
Dead Silence 02:30
I’m flailing my arms in the sea Hoping that somehow my movements will aid me In being spotted as I desperately struggle With overwhelming fatigue I need to breathe again I’m so tired And every time I scream louder My vision fades and my heart speeds up in its beat “Can you hear my voice from here? Can you take away my fears? Can you bring me safe to shore? O God, is there nothing more?” I’m sinking down deep in the sea With both my eyes open I find myself Taking in my surroundings and giving in To the temptation to just be at peace I need to breathe again The surface is just getting farther And nothing will save me at this point If you can’t find me
11.
Heaven is awaiting I can feel its crescendo Earth is slowly fading Into silence
