The Acoustic Universe

Deep in the night, boundless violence will seethe with the danger Our laws collide not allowing another contender When the wine drinks itself, you will burn to a cinder We're fighting time awaiting the answers I'll never let them stake you down (Take you down) I'll fight to find a way Is there a way to turn the mind of a barbaric stranger? Eternal days awaiting for you to awake, my avenger A cruel fate now condemns us to burn to a cinder Are we too late, running on empty? I'll never let them stake you down (Take you down) I'll fight to find a way out there It must be hard I'll never let them break you now (Forsake you now) Keep holding on and Give me answers to my prayers We'll never hide, we'll face the glare You're the light I see to, raise the flame and blaze the fire Give me answer to my prayers We'll carry all the weights to bear Give me sight to see I know a way is there to keep the flame I'll never let them stake you down I'll fight to find a way out there It must be hard I'll never let them break you now Keep holding on and Give me answers to my prayers We'll never hide, we'll face the glare You're the light I see to, raise the flame and blaze the fire Give me answer to my prayers We'll carry all the weights to bear Give me sight to see I know a way is there to keep the flame Why can't I bleed with you? Forever I will be thrown to the wolves They'll feed on all our dreams

So many days we've spent together Trying to get ahead with our dreams Now we have come to the goal forgotten Hurting within left us torn The road is open We find our way through ties where broken So the means to the end Was the peace that was meant To be ours since it all began We fight to win I won't give up, we'll fight to win To move along from where we'd been I'll sing this song for you again I'm looking up around the bend We're so much stronger than before Our fraying edges on the mend Life as we know would be so different Had our paths continued the same Seizing the day with all that's offered The good and the bad The clear and the haze To move along from where we'd been I'll sing this song for you again I'm looking up around the bend We're so much stronger than before Our fraying edges on the mend Don't let go So hard to face what we've done wrong We shared a life that can't be We cannot hide from destiny So hard to face what had gone wrong We've got to make this work And give it our all Give our all and won't let go Waiting so long for an answer We've been waiting oh, so very long and Now we're ready to accept our fate Our melodies will be remembered Forever and ever Our memories will fade away When the leaves have reached the soil I won't give up this fight The sacrifices made We gave our all And won't let it go to die in vain I'll sing this song again We're stronger than before We have the chance of lifetime We'll never close this door

Declining All color fading. Defining Time coming for me. Rescinding My inspiration. Receding consciousness. Back in the day, I can recall that My thoughts were unclouded and sage. There was no black Staining the walls of my memories. Now there's a haze pushing me sideways, And leaving me nothing to gain, Taking me back, Locking me cold in disparity. Where was I meant to be? I feel I'm lost in a dream. Long for the day I can be myself. When I'm free, When my sun has set, Released my soul forever, I'll have no regret To be free. I'll exist again. No more lost endeavors. Nothing to contend When I'm free. Color declines all that defines me Is falling away, far behind. Nothing to keep me with the time, The here and now. Where am I meant to be? I feel I'm lost in a dream, Yearning again only to be myself. When I'm free, When my sun has set, Released my soul forever, I'll have no regret To be free. I'll exist again. No more lost endeavors. Nothing to contend When I'm free. - (Cure me, free me, help me, see me - No more worry, no more losing) Time is just a concept - (Save me, near me, help me, hear me.) And always the first thing to fade. - (No more heartache, no misery.) Agony and weakness, - (Cure me, free me, help me, see me.) Nothing we can never evade. - (No more worry, no agony.) Years are cruel, they break us, - (Save me, near me, help me, hear me.) Bringing on decay and despair, (we despair) - (No more heartache, no despairing.) Awareness and perception. - (Cure me, free me, help me, see me.) Something we can never repair. (No repair) - (No more worry, no repairing.) Freedom for me is all I'm really wanting, needing. Give me power to break out, I can't hold on for any longer. My time has come to end it all. No one to blame, Fate's only random. It's nothing we'll ever explain. So it remains. Where was I meant to be? I feel I'm lost in a dream Long for the day I can be myself... (Free...) When will I be unleashed? It's not the way it should be, Yearning again only to be myself. (Unleash my consciousness!) When I'm free, When my sun has set, Released my soul forever, I'll have no regret To be free. I'll exist again. No more lost endeavors. Nothing to contend When I'm free.

Speaking interpretation A conversation can take a sudden turn And reaching the point of violence Because your silence left you without a hand to hold Your past will lead you on to make... Making a final judgement Based on your bias will never bring you forward Terror should never guide you For even the fearful can take a beating in the end Suspicion gets you nowhere Those who denounce a way of life Will stand alone Left to atone their social blunders If you gun down the messenger You guarantee that he will be made Into a saint A martyr of the free word I will say I will say what I think I will do I will do what I say When liberty seems out of reach We'll fight for our freedom of speech Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis [Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord And let perpetual light shine upon them. - From The Roman Rite liturgy] Missing a simple context A mental weakness can throw you out of balance Listen, respect each other Then you'll discover It mustn't always end in hate It's not too late for mercy Those who denounce a way of life Will stand alone Left to atone their social blunders If you gun down the messenger You guarantee that he will be made Into a saint, A martyr of the free word. I will say. I will say what I think. I will do. I will do what I say. When tolerance seems out of sight, We will fight... When liberty seems out of reach, We'll fight for our freedom of speech.

We're blind and eager. Avarice will set us back to blank. Those who wager all will have to name a reason. (If you can't let go,) you will end up empty handed (If you can't control,) you'll live your life in vain. Who decides about my time to come? Who is able to break through the circle of life and doom? Don't look back. Keep on track to break the curse. Take the chance: Design your universe. We can't undo what we have done, So show us now what we've become. Confront us with our viciousness And our weakness. We can't evade our destiny, So show responsibility, For we all surely have a sense Of our consciousness. To take for taking's sake Will leave a path of loss and strain, And endless breaking of faith can warrant acts of treason. (If you can't let go,) you will end up empty handed (If you can't control,) you'll live your life in vain Who decides about what's true or false? Who is able to sift through the treasures from the flukes? Don't look back. Keep on track to break the curse. Take the chance: Design your universe. We can't undo what we have done, So show us now what we've become. Confront us with our viciousness And our weakness. We can't evade our destiny, So show responsibility, For we all surely have a sense Of our consciousness. The time has come. We have to see That total wisdom is in reach. The time has come to colour in the lines. We must identify the signs. So many people are full of hate, While love and light are in their reach. So many people will harm themselves, But life can be so beautiful. So many people will idolize, While their own success is in their reach. Don't forget you're able to Design your own universe. Find your balance. Sink into rumination. Ipsum te reperies. Potire mundorum. Potire omnis mundi. [You will discover yourself. Become a master of worlds. Become a master of the whole world.] We can't undo what we have done, So show us now what we've become. Confront us with our viciousness And our weakness. We can't evade our destiny, So show responsibility, For we all surely have a sense Of our consciousness. Can't undo. Show us now. Confront us. We're the weakness. Can't evade. Show us how. We have our sense.
