A face you've never shown A place you've never known A shadow fire. A thousand lessons. A silence here so loud it deafens An angel - by design The angel of blood and fire What's this you've given me to behold? Ten thousand faces cast from a mold Wake up and give it all that you've got Forged out of everything you've been taught The chance you'll never take The plans you'll never make A shadow fire - a force that reckons Counting down the minutes and seconds An angel - by design The angel of blood and fire What's this you've given me to be sold? Shape-shifting faces fashioned from gold Sit back and tell'em all what you've got Forced out of everything you were taught In a world that's set on fire Burned black within the desire This polygon of life you're living You're taking back what you've been giving A victim of your crime The angel of blood and fire

(STEVEN) The nothing colour of the television Has become the only state religion Every single waving flag is frozen Every choice for us already chosen Everyone is hoarding plans For the day after the burning lands Everyone is counting sheep While the wolves in MX missiles are asleep (DANIEL) ANY MINUTE A DETONATION BY THE TRIGGER FINGER OF A STERILE NATION OF LIES THEN WE SEE THE FLAMES FILL THE SKY (STEVEN) The flowers of yellow fallout shelter signs All our lives a former actor designed Behind the search lights and barbed wire reviled Buried missiles under fallow cornfields The Search lights and barbed wire walls iron curtains rise and spy planes fall With One ear up should Washington call to Duck and duck and cover duck and cover (DANIEL) IN A MINUTE THE TERMINATION OF A MILLION FACES AND THE LIVES OF THE ONES THAT WE LOVE WHEN WE SEE THE FLAMES FILL THE SKY (STEVEN) No where to run No where to hide No where to run No where to hide No one to trust No one to fight No more hope And No white knight Just a million frozen eyes... (DANIEL) ANY MINUTE A RESTITUTION BY THE SILENT DANCING ON THE EDGE OF A BLADE OF A KNIFE AS WE SEE THE FLAMES FILL THE SKY AND WHEN WE'VE TRADED OUR SOUL FOR A PAIR OF ANGEL WINGS IN VOLUNTARY RETRIBUTION FOR ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE NEVER DONE WITH OUR LIVES

Force feed both sides With hate and lies Join hands, join minds Sign a photograph then die A million people wait for you To sell them things you'll never do The casualties will wait in line And follow you and all your lies Buy guns, sell more Kill blacks, start wars Small hands strangle the poor Spill blood, kill more A million people wait for you To sell them things you'll never do The casualties will wait in line And follow you and all your lies Sell faith, sell hope Buy hate, you're broke Small hands will tighten the rope No faith, no hope A million people wait for you To sell them things you'll never do The casualties will wait in line And follow you and all your lies

Collapse 05:07
Once again you've given it everything While taken back what you think is yours The feeling like you're different in every way A novelty in two-faced guise A travesty circling overhead While thinking back into your mind The majesty of a difficult memory While traveling through 8-bit skies It's a lie, a destiny carved from hate It's always too soon. It's never too late (to let the right ones into fear) There's a place where no one will ever stay Where pleasures of life all fade into grey (collapsing head first into fear) Mystified by a ritual sacrifice A burning page in a virtual fire The lexicon of a million discoveries Sewn into a fabric of lies It's a lie, a destiny carved from hate It's always too soon. It's never too late (to let the right ones into fear) There's a place where no one will ever stay Where pleasures of life all fade into grey (collapsing head first into fear)

Break down, give up Lord knows I've had enough Take drugs, get high. Break up, fall down Burnout into the ground Take drugs, tell lies What's this you've given me that's made me terrified? Snake tongue, fake lives Lord knows I've realized Take drugs, get high Die young, take sides A symptom of denial Give up, tell lies What's this you've given me that's made me terrified? What's this you've given me?

Living in your shadow Grown up with fear disguised as love Brave new world before me Will I ever be enough RISE! Channeling all I offer Only to be chastised by your hate Something’s out of order And now it’s time to claim my fate RISE! RISE! I will not let you hurt RISE! RISE! I will not let you win Crumbling upon me Bearing the weight of all your guilt Prevail and rise above this The damaged soul that you have built RISE! RISE! I will not let you hurt me RISE! RISE! I will not let you win RISE! RISE! I will break free from your grip RISE! RISE! And let the day begin

Your Temple 05:06
What's terrifying about this feeling? But you care nothing about it, or so you say This is your temple You're always here A prime example Of all your fears Your resolution To keep control Of your solution To sell your soul Wisdom is a little fist punching through your mind With such a pessimistic lie that you don't believe in Or so they say... This is your temple It's what you know A prime example Of where you'll go Your place of worship The place you cry This hill you stand on Is where you'll die But you'll never know... Break into little bits Lurching up your spine With such a pacifistic charm You steal nothing and call it your own This is your temple It's where you live A prime example Of what you give Your place of worship The place you cry This hill you stand on Is where you'll die And in your temple You're always here The prime example Of all your fears This resolution To keep control Of your solution To sell your soul
