Tongues 03:51
Never felt the calling Never found the way Never felt the spirit, yet another day I get so disconnected from the rest of the world Searching for the answer Searching for the key Searching for the combination to the inner me I get so disconcerted I can barely get by People are speaking in tongues When they speak, I can't understand them Poison is filling my lungs Breathe it in, but can't comprehend it Washed me in the river Washed away my sin Washed away the questions buried deep within Yet I'm still disconnected from the rest of the world Never found the answer Never found the key Must have lost the combination to the inner me I get so disconcerted I can barely get by (chorus) (chorus)

You choose a side and I'll pick mine Separate the paths and we'll be fine Believe it, it's just another day Some take the mountains rise up high Some take the deserts hot and dry To see it, dispersed in every way What lies between us turns to dust No contact tends to breed mistrust We feel it closing in around us till we can't conceive the other's way Respect the other's way Divide the path Divide the path in two If we could take the time to listen to another's thoughts Could shed our disrespect long enough to hear them out We'd find a common ground where we could coexist But no one's willing to, so sharpen our swords and push them all away This flag is red and that one's blue Can't coexist, can't make through We see it, it's made to never change What lies between us turns to dust No contact tends to breed mistrust We feed it closing in around us till we can't conceive the other's way Respect the other's way Divide the path Divide the path in two

Mercenary 04:27
A wandering stranger, wondering where he's going to sleep A wandering soldier, wondering how he'll earn his keep Burn like incendiary tearing through the night Living like a mercenary taking to the fight Bearing all the burdens, carrying the weight Execute the operation, introduce their fate Reach into their mouths, steal their souls away Look into their eyes as they pass away A hunger for danger, hunger he cannot satiate An agent of anger, bringing the enemy his hate (chorus) The soldier of fortune studies the measure of his take Walks into the darkness leaving the carnage in his wake (chorus)

Souls 03:50
A look was cast my way, a look I'd seen many times before A smile can't hide your pain As the tension grew, I walked upon it just like a bridge We felt our souls embrace In our minds we held each other Like we did so long ago In love In love As I took your hand you understood Our love was born a thousand years ago A destiny fulfilled, an act of fate we can't explain Were we meant to know In our arms we hold each other, like we will forever In love In love

Break Out 04:34
Decisions made under pressure Erode the fabric of design Deductions without measure Creating boundaries ill defined Once you've seen their distortions Observed their fabricated lives Freed yourself from their oppressions And suddenly you will arrive Break out, leave it behind It's just a state of mind Break out, turn it around Make it your own design Illuminate the path for others To guide them to the light of day And once they find their objective They share the light with others on the way (chorus) (chorus)

Beyond the pass Beyond the river cold Gather for mass Gather together in the dark Fall on the heels of many before them The way is littered with their mortal remains (Bones) Hold to the wheel of journeys forgotten Hear echoes of their mournful refrains Out of the forest's shroud Wanderers seeking Wearing their vestment proud Valiance waining Come to the narrow traverse Loath and uncertain Fearing the ire of the curse Step inside of the cave Feel the darkness fall Beyond the pass Beyond the river cold Gather for mass Gather together in the dark (chorus)
