Good Day 06:08
Today will be a good day The sun reflects off the mirror And lit up my face It's hard to hold out hope, just try Round the corner, sun on my face Wailing sirens have filled the air Should I run or should I hide Bright dark light fills the sky The fear fills my lungs The heat fills my eyes The light fills my ears Gripping my fists tight Is this my day to die?
2.
He was done, had enough Empty road, his only friend This pressure, uncertainty Can't take it, had enough (bridge) Hunting him, no one leaves Slipping through the shadows Slowly and cautiously Just a few more steps (chorus) Searching for a new life Fleeing from this, hell bent time Freedom comes, not for free Knock him down, taste the blood The rail yard, the last chance One more step, this is it This coal car, only defense This last step to freedom (bridge) (chorus) The wave of pain, knocked him down Waking on the tracks, old life gone? Was he free or just in a bad dream Standing up, walking to a new a life (bridge) (chorus)
3.
Awaken 06:53
No chance of turning back But sometimes he wonders His brother, had he survived, no chance Cry himself to sleep Suddenly awaken He must move forward Strange faces, endless disgraces Grabbing at his arms, carrying away No questions, they were not asking Eyes adjusting, only a blur Silent he must move through the forest Sounds of camps on the horizon The danger, forces a timed move forward Too late, shattering pain freezes time Awaken to find, the legend of Harriet Could this be real? Time will tell A mystical legend in the flesh Why are they helping or care? Hoping there's more that they will tell Nursing the wound, Harriet helps Noticed a strange marking on her wrist At that point, legends do exist He must get her to break it down
4.
Mended wounds have healed Put him on his way Searching for redemption Harriet spoke of them The group of rebels Toppling the oppression (chorus) He can't stand to see He don't want to be All he sees is red He can't stand to be All that he sees They're shades of red Memory passed him by No recollection How did he survive No time to ponder this The machine must be stopped Heading right for the throat (chorus) Mentally prepared They killed his brother He's out for revenge Equipped with little luck He must defeat with skill Time to join the rebellion (chorus)
5.
Did as he was told Did as he was commanded Now locked inside that room Lucky to be alive Just wants one more try Locked inside this room They torture and consume He was a good soldier Now he knows of the war Against his own people What is he to do Just do as he's told As he's done before Yeah he wants to And he must know Who he shot Was he one of The rebel forces? Did he die? Oh, everyone is hurting Oh, everyone is crying Oh, everyone is maddening Against the man Feeling guilt For hurting his own Must be why he's in this hell No, he can't sleep Until he knows He Must find the answers Oh, everyone is hurting Oh, everyone is crying Oh, everyone is maddening Against the man
6.
Citizens have grown disdain Oppression by the suits are to blame They have what but one ultimate goal To sustain their wealth, by the hands of men (Pre-chorus) They see not, what they have planned Only what their people do Can't see the arms that they gather Nor acknowledge what's coming to them (Chorus) These people, are placing the blame Those people, are forcing their hand These people, are making a plan Those people, they will be damned Those people, will see what their greed has bred Not to sit by any longer As the saying goes, we the people Gather their things, on a march they go Exercise their right, to take back their freedom (Pre-chorus) These people, are placing the blame Those people, are forcing their hand These people, are making a plan Those people, they will be damned These people, are placing the blame Those people, are forcing their hand Our people, are making a plan
7.
Can't stop, from revealing the truth Won't stop, announcing their intentions They won't, back down from us Must start, broadcasting to the masses (Pre-chorus) We will not stop Until the people know the truth Lifting the veil Off the face of evil The suits will know We will take no more Listen to us It's time to burn you to the ground (Chorus) We can't give up Until we see this through They must be stopped Pull the curtain back Burning to ash Their building no more We the people Are kicking down your door This war, against the ones we entrust Will end, with the silent sirens Our men, toppling the system Our life, the only thing we covet (Pre-chorus) (Chorus)
8.
First Blood 05:31
Heeded words From their people Listening, their staple Come together They now know the truth Filling streets, torches in their hand (Chorus) Gathering To burn The suited men It's on, you're going down The Gathering Overthrowing The heartless cowards It's time, to take it back Together they March on forward The capitol, the destination On the steps They meet their foe The mob attacks, oppressed no more (Chorus)

Hidden Faces 08:25
Today wasn't like yesterday It wasn't we want it to be So don't turn around Cause they can't see your face Their stable is almost empty What has happened lately They can't see your face in there Running farther away Running farther away Run again See again Look again Bleed again This catastrophe has torn up our heads It's empty Are we better off dead We run away, everyone is the same We cannot let them get away You can't expect to find your own way They cannot get away You can't expect they'll find their way back to us They must expect that we will run away They must expect that we are running away
