lyrics

Balancing
Complicit experiment; cauterise
Population
Mere fractions of what we once held
Scripture
A draft prescription, hollow description
A labyrinth weíre dealt
Scapegoats
I'd trade her for nothing

Defending the cause
We are the lab rats most proud of our fate
Disintegrated
Beleaguered armour, no match for our weight
Protecting the realm
With us at the helm
Poseidon will reign

Speak not of thine sobriety so eloquently
A product of man
Though not of the gods
Consume their loving words
I'm here on my own
Difficult; I've come to terms
And die on this hill made of knives

Question the cause
What was?
When was I alone?

A blinding portrayal
The guardian revealed
Her face a distraction
Carved from a memory that I bitterly caged

When?
Why now?
Hate. Comes back to lash at me
Why?
What's this?
Will she take me with her?
Is this a most elegant fate?
And this begins the turmoil of a selfish debate

Solo [Greenwood]
Solo [Willitts]

Freedom
A candid whisper breaks my chains
I think I'll give this a try and quit rolling the dice
When all have witnessed the change
I'll gladly smile, though all the while
Tis but a fragile thread
Liar
A nonsense vocation
I tell myself a swift end is my calling
Once revered Poseidon
I know not if we've seen the last of you
The trials you send, they are annulled

Save me not from grief, guilt and pain
I'll learn to face trials but alone
I'd trade not one sip from a glass
For this new enlightened prospect

Yet...
