[The Showman] Step right up and lend me your ear I have exactly what you want right here And for a limited time you can have it for free If you surrender your mind to me [The Dirigible] All that I want is in your hands I'll do whatever you tell me Tell me what I want then sell it to me I'm at your mercy [The Showman] Step behind the curtain I'll show you wonders from your dreams made real Just sign on the dotted line You're gonna love the way you feel [The Dirigible] Wait, Am I a willing volunteer for the fear they engineer to pour into our amenable ears Oh no I How could I abide as they lied and they lied while the airship took to the sky Step back Don’t let them take you to the sky Though all that I want is in your hands Like a puppet on a string This will is not my own Take back the sky and burn it (x2) Take back the sky and burn it to the ground Take back the sky... Step right up and lend me your ear And their airship will fall from the sky Behind the curtain And above the clouds They have always been watching And we've always bowed (x3) Their preachers are preaching And their tendrils are reaching Behind the curtain And above the clouds We will take back the sky And we'll rule from the ground And if they deny the new kings that we've crowned We will cut all their throats So they won't make a sound

Sacred 04:20
Ignite to a single flame as our souls rise never be the same Can you feel the light surging through your heart Ever nerve an ember glow My hand, my mind My breath is yours, within one flow Now, bring me to my knees Enslave me with desire For all that which accompanies Lighting this sacred fire Now, bring me to my knees With these flames alight my heart Make me forget it could beat Without you from the start All other faces before you fade With them all promises prior made Now that we are one, is our identity the same? When all is said and done, will I know my own name? We burn as one desire Become a timeless fire All other faces before you fade With them all promises prior made

The Fall 04:35
Pray that your devoted forgives as you fall in line Save your soul; deceptive the viper's inception of sinful pride Hearing cautious voices pleading case Clouded by the poison's tempting taste Proud; deflect the debate Fleeing the cautions from dangers you sought to replace Shame Shame a sacred vow has been broken, and it is damning us all Ignoring words that were spoken to save us all Save your soul Chain your wrist Binding the hand which sins, that you may resist Save your soul And when it comes to your first desire How can you resist Just one could condemn us all Just one single kiss A taste once forbade by you now reaches your lips, And pierces the heart of the one who has come to love you

Ridges 05:11
Fissured earth Tremors of revelation Cracking what I knew Deserted mind Canyon of realization Fill this void with truth Suddenly I'm of two minds Am I a mirror or caught in between? Between these segments I find that nothing's as it seems Call out Step across the great divide Traverse the ridges of my mind But what forms the other side? In these walls what can I see? Do I gaze into myself? Is this another part of me? Call out Mimicked sound, not an echo It moves . . . it moves with me It moves with me Calling out to my own reflection Discovering that this mimicked sound Is not an echo from my own lips It moves, it moves, it moves with me Call out It moves with me, it moves with me Fill this void with truth Call out to my own reflection It moves with me, cracking what I knew

Light has been struck from my life I suffer alone in silence Darkness it veils this reflection And I can bear it no more Her memory alone sustains me no longer My soul it is starved My perception of life as binary in nature My narrow mind a prison a curse that is worse than the fate that befell her Her memory alone is not sufficient What could I do to rejoin but for dying my self? My mortal soul, it is bound to this realm I can't address the problem without sacrificing my self I will find a way My love, lead the way to your light Find me and you'll outshine the dark inside Her mind and soul transcend with this shell love can breathe again There's a likeness between these two, Machine and man Both can shelter the love you knew Be still, my hand Wake up Wake up Open your eyes Light seeping through a new form Clear and bright like a calm in the storm The light that I once knew grows from inside her An old soul born anew Her eyes open like the first time I see your face in a storm Now, can it calm the forlorn heart? What have you become? Life has been struck down by your light My eyes shut for the last time
