For The Good Of All

In the city of the air
Lives Fortune, Fame
Love and Despair
An enormous family
That pushed its own kind
From the tree
There is a dream
Of equality
Where nothing can be
A higher degree
You want to be free
So heed this decree
And go
The sands of time have changed
What once was sane
Is now deranged
And now the only way
Is to restart
Or so they say
Cancel your plans
Your fate's in our hands
We want to do right
But there is a price
You must be removed
If we're to improve
Your life
In the center of the square
There's a burst
Of vocal flare
A scandalous bit of truth
Igniting anger
In our youth
There is a dream
Of equality
Where nothing can be
A higher degree
You want to be free
So heed this decree
And go
What will be left
Inside the bereft
If you all betray
The ones you've decayed
This cannot be right
We'll rise up and fight
Our gods

Breathless

You so defy generalization
And use your fears for self-elevation
You seek to regain that which was taken
And save the life that you have forsaken
You must have been misplaced at birth
For no one recognizes your true worth
You are so apt to break the rules
And turn all of the strongest into fools

Contemplative

Love can conquer all, they say
Memories are what guide the way
But when there's an interference
Sometimes it must fall
You ran away, which made me smile
But can't escape from sure exile
And now that you're as good as gone
Reality invades
But why must I live in a world that hates me?
But why must I live in this cage of misery?
There's a place where we can go
To live with the world's overflow
No constant pain of helplessness
A place where we can see
Through mistakes of someone else
You'll be thrown in blackest cells
They say it's for the good of all
That this will be done
But why must I live in a world that hates me?
But why must I live inside this cage of misery
Why must I suffer through this betrayal?
And why should I not just leave it all?

The Threshold

Part I: Beginning of the End
All that we've been prone to here
All the sadness, all the fear
It will wash away
All the friends that we have known
All the love that we've been shown
It must end today
The vision's overpowered us
We've wasted all our breath
This world won't soon forget us
In remembrance, there's no death
Part II: Acceptance (instrumental)
Part III: The Crossing
Finally, it's come to this
With our backs to the abyss
What have we to say?
No exceptions can be made
Now we must not be afraid
Why should we stay?
We lose
You lose too
But this is far from over
We are not the first
Or the last
Who's to say what should have lasted
After all, the past is past
We are all too late
But the thing that you most want
Will escape and always haunt
We choose our own fates
Why should it be so painful?
Why should it be so hard?
Why should we be afraid of
The dark?
