Yeah...
Condemned... Condemned... Condemned... Condemned...
Condemned... without given a chance to speak.
Without acknowledgment they're made less than human.
Condemned... Condemned to anonymity. Trapped by... Trapped by obscurity.
Condemned... Condemned to anonymity. Sentenced... Sentenced to neglect.
Oh...
They will never share our blood, yet is that reason to
drain what's left of theirs, abandoning compassion?
Condemned... Condemned to anonymity. Trapped by... Trapped by obscurity.
Condemned... Condemned... Condemned to anonymity. Sentenced... Sentenced to neglect. Oh...
Why do we uphold allegiance higher than maintaining life?
The ties of blood breaking a stronger bind.
Condemned... Condemned to anonymity. Trapped by... Trapped by obscurity.
Condemned... Condemned... Condemned to anonymity. Sentenced... Sentenced to neglect.
Upside Down Kingdom Lyrics – as I lay dying
Many choose to find their hope in the thoughts of afterlife, when there is none to be found right here before we die.
So I understand the feeling of helplessness, when we are just taught to wait here...wait here for death.
Wait here for death. Wait for this suffering to end.
Wait here for death. Wait here for death. Wait for this suffering to end.
We are not forgotten, for a kingdom is offered beyond that of golden streets.
We can represent now what will one day be complete.
Simplicity is not a curse where strength is humbled and the powerless rise (and the powerless rise).
This is a kingdom born upside-down.
This is a kingdom where the broken are crowned.
Wait here for death. Wait here for death.
The "blessings" of excess are only a burden on us.
It is a broken system where we just wait for death.
It is a broken system where suffering can never end.
Simplicity is not a curse where strength is humbled and the powerless rise (and the powerless rise).
This is a kingdom born upside-down.
This is a kingdom where the broken are crowned... (the broken are crowned).
If helplessness is our system then we're better off upside-down.
So I understand the feeling of helplessness, when we are just taught to wait here...wait here for death.
Wait here for death. Wait for this suffering to end.
Wait here for death. Wait here for death. Wait for this suffering to end.
We are not forgotten, for a kingdom is offered beyond that of golden streets.
We can represent now what will one day be complete.
Simplicity is not a curse where strength is humbled and the powerless rise (and the powerless rise).

Vacancy Lyrics – as I lay dying
We live in slavery to a past we cannot escape, and I say it's worth it to just start again... again.
We've focused so long on ideals of freedom that it is this very belief that oppresses us.
We all want to be free, yet we find ways to forfeit liberty to our own impulses, to our own consumption.
So I say it's worth it to build a new foundation... a new foundation... a new foundation... a new foundation...
It's a past we cannot escape.
This vacancy will take everything this world can offer.
But what is control once we have let go of all we suffer? Once we've let go...
Yeah... When we've awakened to admit we are all enslaved, then there is freedom in our choice to disobey. Yeah...
Our creeds have become a justification (justification) to live the way that some see fit, (justification) and no one is more hopeless than those blinded by the scales of content.
This vacancy will take everything this world can offer.
But what is control (what is control) once we have let go of all we suffer?
We live in slavery to a past we cannot escape. So I say it's worth it to just start again.
Oh... We've let go. We've let go. We've let go. Yeah...
This vacancy will take everything this world (all that this world) can offer (all that this world offers).
But what is control (what is control) once we have let go (we have let go) of all we suffer?
We can't escape, we can't escape. We can't escape, we can't escape.
So I say it's worth it to start again.
We've focused so long on ideals of freedom that it is this very belief that oppresses us.
We all want to be free, yet we find ways to forfeit liberty to our own impulses, to our own consumption.

We can't escape, we can't escape. We can't escape, we can't escape.
So I say it's worth it to start again.
The Only Constant Is Change Lyrics – as I lay dying
The only constant is change. The only constant is change. Go...
The human heart is born without legs, sliding back and forth,
and never once does it truly rest, unless accompanied by death... Sliding back and forth.
Even the strongest remnants of history, they have begun to crumble against time.
Sliding back and forth.
The only constant is change. Nothing remains the same.
The only constant is change. There's only growth or decay. Yea...
Let's go... Unvarying scenes only found in pictures can never breathe life.
For nowhere else does level ground exist, unless it has been captured by a flash of steady light.
Sliding back and forth (back and forth).
The only constant is change. Uncertainty awaits.
The only constant is change. There's only growth or decay... or decay.
The only constant is change...
There is nothing that stays the same, from the foundation of our lives.
There is nothing that stays the same. There is nothing to erase time...
The only constant is change. Nothing remains the same.
The only constant is change. There's only growth or decay... Yeah...
The only constant is change (change). The only constant is change.
The human heart is born without legs, sliding back and forth,
and never once does it truly rest, unless accompanied by death... Sliding back and forth.
Even the strongest remnants of history, they have begun to crumble against time.
Sliding back and forth.
The only constant is change. Nothing remains the same.
The only constant is change. There's only growth or decay. Yea...

The only constant is change (change). The only constant is change.
The Blinding Of False Light Lyrics – as I lay dying
I see now... I see through the veil of expectation.
I see now... I see that conformity is betrayal.
Betrayal of those who are forgotten, yet vision alone furthers our blame.
Unless followed by transformation, it is pointless to be given sight.
Without the hope of our reaction, we overlook the purpose of our eyes.
Now is our chance to breathe without tyranny, released from the blinding of false light.
(blinding of false light) Now is our chance to breathe without tyranny.
In weakness we are freed...
I see now... I see that conformity is betrayal.
With empty eyes I looked ahead (ahead), with clarity I now look back...
Now is our chance to breathe without tyranny, released from the blinding of false light (blinding of false light).
Now is our chance (our chance) to breathe without... without tyranny.
In weakness we are freed... Yeah...
I admit my failure. Opacity has dulled my senses.
Conformity (conformity) controlled by lifeless vices. Oh... Yeah...
Covetousness (covetousness) disguised as ambition.
But now it ends... But now it ends... But now it ends...
But now it ends, not with defeat but determination... We are freed... Yeah...
Now is our chance to breathe without tyranny, released from the blinding of false (false) light (light).
Now is our chance... Now is...our chance... In weakness we are freed...
I see now... I see that conformity is betrayal.
Betrayal of those who are forgotten, yet vision alone furthers our blame.
Unless followed by transformation, it is pointless to be given sight.
Without the hope of our reaction, we overlook the purpose of our eyes.
Now is our chance to breathe without tyranny, released from the blinding of false light.

Nothing Left Lyrics – as I lay dying
This world was never worthy
But how can I call it unfaithful
Every promise was fulfilled
As decay crawled from it's throat
Like the dead rising from an open grave
Lips of splendor and tongue of deceit
All dying now as our fragile wrists hold only waste
Like those gasping for their last breath
We cannot hide there's nothing left
If All my sorrow has led me here
Then I would cry all of my tears
To have this chance again
And know there's more than this
And know there's more than you
Like those gasping for their last breath
We cannot hide there's nothing left
But how can I call it unfaithful
Every promise was fulfilled
As decay crawled from it's throat
Like the dead rising from an open grave
Lips of splendor and tongue of deceit
All dying now as our fragile wrists hold only waste
Like those gasping for their last breath
We cannot hide there's nothing left
If All my sorrow has led me here
Then I would cry all of my tears
To have this chance again
And know there's more than this
And know there's more than you
Like those gasping for their last breath
We cannot hide there's nothing left
An Ocean Between Us Lyrics – as I lay dying
How many years have we waited
for a ship that never set sail?
And how many days have we wasted
chasing a love that was not our own?
I sat ashore and watched
as one hopeless wave crashed upon another
while my thoughts ran to the hills
my heart never reached the sea
with only delusions of an endless journey
I am left with an ocean between you and me
Is this your salvation?
Is this all you can give?
I will not stand in reflection
of someone else's dream
The gate to my heart has been weld shut
with the splendor of my aspirations closed in
how many years have we waited
for a ship that never set sail?
And how many days have we wasted
chasing a love that was not our own?
Is this your salvation?
Is this all you can give?
I will not stand in reflection
of someone else's dream
for a ship that never set sail?
And how many days have we wasted
chasing a love that was not our own?
I sat ashore and watched
as one hopeless wave crashed upon another
while my thoughts ran to the hills
my heart never reached the sea
with only delusions of an endless journey
I am left with an ocean between you and me
Is this your salvation?
Is this all you can give?
I will not stand in reflection
of someone else's dream
The gate to my heart has been weld shut
with the splendor of my aspirations closed in
how many years have we waited
for a ship that never set sail?
And how many days have we wasted
chasing a love that was not our own?
Is this your salvation?
Is this all you can give?
I will not stand in reflection
of someone else's dream
Within Destruction Lyrics – as I lay dying
[Verse]
If music is
A mirror revealing
The depths of my heart
Then I will write
The darkest song
For without
Forgiveness
My soul is lost
[Chorus (2x):]
All that is hope
Within destruction
Comes from you
For I have fallen
Fallen
[Verse (Quiet)]
If music is
A mirror revealing
The depths of my heart
Then I will write
The darkest song
For without
Forgiveness
My soul is lost
All that is hope
Within destruction
Comes from you
[Break]
For I have fallen
And there is nothing good
Within me yet I've
Been given life
I will
I will never
Deserve
For without
Forgiveness
Without forgiveness my soul is lost
[Outro (4x)]
All that is hope
Within destruction
[4x]
All that is hope
If music is
A mirror revealing
The depths of my heart
Then I will write
The darkest song
For without
Forgiveness
My soul is lost
[Chorus (2x):]
All that is hope
Within destruction
Comes from you
For I have fallen
Fallen
[Verse (Quiet)]
If music is
A mirror revealing
The depths of my heart
Then I will write
The darkest song
For without
Forgiveness
My soul is lost
All that is hope
Within destruction
Comes from you
[Break]
For I have fallen
And there is nothing good
Within me yet I've
Been given life
I will
I will never
Deserve
For without
Forgiveness
Without forgiveness my soul is lost
[Outro (4x)]
All that is hope
Within destruction
[4x]
All that is hope
