Time will swallow Your precious time Like magic create the future What makes man so fickle? Who put the daggers in those eyes? Was it to learn Through dark days of struggle? Was it to burn To burst all our bubbles? Thunder and rain Well the cynicle flame will it heat, stick and blister? Thunder and rain Evangelistic brother Should be banging a tambourine Go wash your hands and fingers Till your mind is clean Was it your fate To sleep like a normal? Time and decay No man is immortal Thunder and rain Boredom and pain lit the cynical flame Will it heat stick and blister? Thunder and rain Still try to resist the pessimist The pessimist no no And these things I find In the back of my mind Where time lasts forever I get all mixed Think I'm all mankind Listen Mr Pessimister With your Catholic taste Oh listen Mr Pessimister Pessimister We do not relate Listen Mr Pessimister, Pessimister, Pessimister Mr Pessimister

Weakness of our bodies Can't make us climb these walls Will we break the awful patterns Before the end is here I'm in need of something more I'm stuck in a shallow grave I've been here before So Lord lend me your hand I've been here before In this endless cycle I've fallen once again And with this empty feeling I seek forgiveness And await the answer Action without movement Await the answer Desire without heart There are voices in our heads The weakness of our bodies Can make us climb these walls Why is it so hard to listen to the Voice inside our heads It feels so close Yet so far away Even the wind and waves obey Him What's there to fear Give us strength to overcome this downfall To stand to our feet And break these awful patterns Before the end is here Why is it so hard to hear your voice When you are right here Why is it so hard to hear your voice Right now

We've been here for far too long We turn our backs When we know that you are always there We've been here before It's far too similar We continue to choose To turn our back It's not easy being strong It's not easy We've let this fade Like a tide washing away There is something inside us That we cant create We have to fight to be strong We have to be strong to fight The battle isn't over And the war has just begun What is it that we need Something to fill this void This is the beginning

The messengers are being hunted. A dream come true, the nightmare continues. The killing of innocent men. Because of their beliefs, conflict arises. Will this come to me? A true statement of faith. Cut me open To see what I am really like. Push me and test me. I know where my heart lies. The day will come When they will put you to the test, to the test! Push me and test me. I know where my heart lies. The day will come When they put you to the test. Push me and test me. I know where my heart lies. The day will come When they put you to the test. Tortured and beaten, We shatter like glass. Tortured and beaten, We shatter like glass. Tortured and beaten, We shatter like glass. Tortured and beaten, We shatter like glass. We shatter like glass. Will you rise above? The day will come to make a choice. The day will come to make a decision. Don't say I didn't warn you. Stand your ground. Stand your ground. Stand your ground.

How can we bridge the path from dark to light* If we live like the rest. Can we portray his love? We are the Window What we do is for you Can we be your hands? Burn these walls Let your light shine through this veil Burn these walls Let your light shine through We are the Window We must set our own hearts Straight to lead the weak We give ourselves to you To see the truth within in your hands Oh God take it all Fill my lungs Give me life We were hollow men We were hollow men Consume me I am choosing what I will let decide Who I will become With all this shame pulling at my feet I will run to you What can I do To make this wretch pure All of me Use all of me for you We must set our own hearts Straight to lead the weak into the promise land You still Give us hope This is my flesh Nothing more than a book Of redemption and regrets This is my flesh Nothing more than a book Of redemption and regrets Burn these walls Let your light shine through this veil Burn these walls Let your light shine through
