Captain 03:37
lyrics
buy track
Scratching and fighting for all that we feel We're all nothing (Do you know who you are?) You're like a newborn child for all that you seem to know and I wonder How many times that you have seen into his heart And I can see that every one of us has forgotten And because the Son Is all about love, He lifts us up on wings Scratching and fighting for all that we feel Repair our hearts and fill up our lungs We need your grace and the pain it can heal Show us your face Just because the Son Is all about love (Just because the Son) Our captain is the one who lifts us up on wings This is your captain speaking So hear me now, and trust me, and I'll get you home Get you home safe and sound This is your captain speaking So hear me now So hear me now! Am I all alone? I can't seem to hear you I feel so lost Turned upside down, I don't know the way Please get me home safe and sound Scratching and fighting for all that we feel Repair our hearts and fill up our lungs We need your grace and the pain it can heal Show us your face

Against The Night 03:43
lyrics
buy track
I could not turn away from the light Although it blinded my eyes (It blinded!) It burned my heart And it burned my heart (It burns!) Do not stare at me for I am dark, I am darkened by the sun (I cannot turn away) It's just the beginning! Arise - the season of singing has just begun Arise - throw open, throw open the doors Here in pain we grow ever stronger I can see your face against the night Oh how you make, you make me feel alive Lift up your eyes, this strength will carry us on Until He gives us rest, this is the best we have - From the depths of pain comes the answer The sick and the living, they cry out together Against the night, your face is brighter Against the night, the way seems clearer This is who we are (Against the night) This - who we are (Against the night) Take my hand (take my hand) The sky reflects in your eyes Take my hand (take my hand) Because this is who we are Oh! This is how you make me feel (I'm alive) Oh! I'm alive (Who we are) (Oh how you make me feel Oh how you make me feel alive) So far away, I'm still shouting out your name So far away, in this heart of mine

The Take Over 02:45
lyrics
buy track
You build it up, and I'll tear it down We cannot get anywhere like this You place the blame (You place the blame) I'll curse your name, now there's no end in sight Disaster will cover this land and you would rather be right than stand as one Than stand as one! (Misguided, you're wrong) And you would rather be right than stand as one And now it's time for you to let go Your fears will never keep their hold on you Never think they have an edge, remember what you are You are not alone The time has come to let go of your fear (Let go of your terror) It's time to comprehend this gift we have A silver bullet, the solution is at hand This vision's full of promise, I won't let it go So take my hand, our only strength comes when we're one There is none too young to be a conductor of His message Wisdom is a gift of God, not an earned privilege of old age This is the take over! And now it's time for you to let go Your fears will never keep their hold on you (They'll never keep their hold) Never think they have an edge, remember what you are You are not alone

Straight Forward 02:34
lyrics
buy track
How many are the ones who stand against me? You say you understand But do you know better Which lines to cut (which lines to cut) Which lines to cut? Oh! (But do you know better which lines to cut?) I reach out my hands But they're holding nothing Would you be the one to take me To take me higher I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong I hope this is not the way that they see me now My faults spiraling Closed doors (closed doors) No way out (no way out) These doors shut in my face And am I so different than him? Don't tell me your way is right I don't see the lines here Just mistakes and the lives they took I reach out my hands But they're holding nothing Would you be the one to take me To take me higher In the dark we struggle to find a way Yet a still small voice recalls (voice recalls) He gave me His blade (a sacrifice) He gave us His blood We are the warriors! We march straight forward! (we march) (we march) (we march) (we march)

Search The Silence 02:45
lyrics
buy track
We built our towers of safety so high, now Hope is gone to mourn alone in the silence Now our hearts are growing harder as the warmth of her bed is fading Since she has left us all My last notes, they echo on empty walls I wonder, have you left me to the birds of prey? I'm hearing wings in the clouds, but still no sign of a coming rescue from the weight of the night Are you out there? I search the silence for the sound of her heart still beating, beating still My last notes, they echo on empty walls I wonder, have you left me to the birds of prey? And in the quiet I look to the sky, no sign of a coming rescue from the weight of the night If I gave you all that was left, would you break my heart again? God, I've made this such a mess, and I can't let go of it If I gave you all that was left, would you make me whole again? God, this world is such a mess, and I am through with it...

At The End 04:53
lyrics
buy track
Climb the highest mountain, there's a fire burning at its peak Set your face to the wind The real man will see the light again Only he will face the sun If it takes more then this to win, don't wait for me at the end If you were the light then my world is dead Don't wait for me at the end (Oh, my heart!) My heart grows cold I never thought that I would be the one So broken, alone Hope abandoned this corner When I am terrified Stranded miles from home I'm calling you out! Right now, right now I'm calling you out! Feel the strength of my voice straight through your soul There is more to this than meets the eye I see the work of hope I see the work of hope I've seen an old man straighten his back and walk towards the truth, I've seen an outstretched hand A broken heart held open to the light Who could give so much out of nothing? What strength is there for the broken? And where am I in the midst of your glory, when my plans to save myself have failed? You once said you could pull me from a deeper grave than I could dig, but are you still there? If it takes more then this to win, don't wait for me at the end If you were the light then my world is dead Cold is the night (Cold is the night) Cold is the night, will you stand by my side? Heaven knows there's not much left here Heaven knows there's not much left Not a breath is left inside me I've been screaming myself to sleep But can't stay under for long for fear that the nightmares will snatch my hopes from me I can't drown out this many whispers that have laid claim to my heart and mind So come and save me quickly, for I fear there's not much time Heaven knows there's not much left here Heaven knows there's not much left Heaven knows there's not much left here Heaven knows there's not much left
