8.) Nightmare

This song is about the orphans in the world that haven't yet been adopted.

Intro

Verse 1:
You caught a glimpse of this long worn road
And saw nothing but darkness again and within
You heard a voice and now you know
There's always a place you can never go

Pre-Chorus 1:
Now there's nowhere for you to turn

Chorus:
When you don't have what you
Need to see how you can
Dream my friend
This was your dark nightmare
No one around to tell you
How you can find your way
Out again
This was your own nightmare

Verse 2:
You saw a light on distant grounds
But it flickered and died once it had been found
You started to scream but no one knew
The one who had always been holding on to you

Pre-Chorus 2:
Now there's nowhere for you to run

Chorus:
When you don't have what you
Need to see how you can
Dream my friend
This was your dark nightmare
No one around to tell you
How you can find your way
Out again
This was your own nightmare

Guitar Solo

Bridge:
I'm so sorry for what you've become
It's all because of

Chorus:
When you don't have what you
Need to see how you can
Dream my friend
This was your dark nightmare
No one around to tell you
How you can find your way
Out again
This was your own nightmare

Tag:
No one
Nowhere
No one
This was your dark nightmare

No one
Nowhere
No one
This was your own nightmare

Intro

Ending:
I'm so sorry for what you've become
It's all because of

7.) Speak To Me

In this song, a person asks God for help in their life.  God answers, but they ignore it as it's not the answer they wanted to hear


Verse 1:
God give me a sense of direction
Narrow it down to the core of perfection
Lead me to where You may need me to be
Just tell me now and I'll find my way out

Chorus:
I've closed my eyes but it doesn't seem to be so clear (even though You're near)
You've said the words but I can no longer seem to hear (the words I need)
For all the times I have denied and
Thought You weren't for me

Verse 2:
Where are You now have You left me?
Alone in the shadows away from my family
I'm pleading for You to come rescue
Me from this dark undesirable heart to a whole new start

Chorus:
I've closed my eyes but it doesn't seem to be so clear (even though You're near)
You've said the words but I can no longer seem to hear (the words I need)
For all the times I have denied and
Thought You weren't for me

Bridge:
Speak to me 
Are You listening to me?
I am, I am, and always have been
Hear me
Are You right there beside me?
I am, yes I am, can't you reach me?
Won't You be there for me
And I'll be with You

Verse 3:
I've found You right there where I left You
Won't You come take my hand, so I can just take a stand?

Chorus:
I've closed my eyes but it doesn't seem to be so clear (even though You're near)
You've said the words but I can no longer seem to hear (the words I need)

Tag:
For all the times I have denied and
Every time I haven't tried and
All the times I have denied
And thought You weren't for me

Outro

6.) Break The Silence

Verse 1:
They're coming closer to hear the words you're trying to say
But they don't want to believe, they want to send you away
There waiting for you to see the ways they want to accept
They're telling you to be free and for your tongue to repress

Chorus:
Don't let them take it from you
Don't stop trying to do what you do
Speak the way you always used to
But say it louder, say it prouder
Nobody here could ever
Stop you from your endeavor
Move or you'll stay forever
Break the silence, with no guidance

Verse 2:
The people standing beside, the ones who want to impress
They start wondering why and think like all the rest
But you're the one who's okay and different from those who doubt
You've never wandered away and never stopped so don't now


Chorus:
Don't let them take it from you
Don't stop trying to do what you do
Speak the way you always used to
But say it louder, say it prouder
Nobody here could ever
Stop you from your endeavor
Move or you'll stay forever
Break the silence, with no guidance


Bridge:
Raise your hands and believe now
Take a stand and be free now
'Cause no one can take it away


Chorus (2x):
Don't let them take it from you
Don't stop trying to do what you do
Speak the way you always used to
But say it louder, say it prouder
Nobody here could ever
Stop you from your endeavor
Move or you'll stay forever
Break the silence, with no guidance

5.) Fall Away

Verse 1:
My bow stands at ready, the arrow is steady
Don't test me or this means war
Your heart is no stronger, the minutes are longer
Say goodbye and walk out the door

Pre-Chorus:
Don't shut me in, I'll shut you out
Awaken the rage within
Light the fuse and I'll catch fire
A weapon that always wins

Chorus 1:
My heart is growing harder
My mind is straying farther
Takes me a mile away from life that seems so far
I locked myself up inside
The prison of my own lies
It makes me want to fall away into your arms

Verse 2:
Your words are upsetting the mindset I'm setting
Don't try to resist the truth
These evil creations, unstable foundations
You've let them take over you

Chorus 2:
My heart is growing harder
My mind is straying farther
Takes me a mile away from life that seems so far
I locked myself up inside
The prison of my own lies
It makes me want to fall away into your arms
How much more will I have to take
Before the loss, the bitter taste
How much more will I have to take
Before I've lost everything

4.) Blinded

Chorus 1:
Now you can't see through your eyes
So now you can't know it's alright
And now you're falling, fading
Crashing, breaking, running away from me


Verse 1:
I'd help you move on but you've been here too long, today
The pain carries on but you won't move along, away
I'll pass you by just to see that you can't hide
Your own shame that's deep inside your heart

Chorus:

Now you can't see through your eyes
So now you can't know it's alright
And now you're falling, fading
Crashing, breaking, running away from me
It's getting harder to decide
If time won't fly you'll have to try
And now you're failing faster
Trying harder to push away the pain


Verse 2:
You must run ahead or by dawn you'll be dead, go now
This place can't be met but in a dangerous quest, alone
And there is but One who can call you His own son
And to his arms now you can run, but not here

Chorus

Bridge:
You've been trying so hard but you're not getting closer to me
You've been working so hard but you're not getting farther away

Chorus
