 | What's This Life For |  |
| | Hurray for a child That makes it through If there's any way Because the answer lies in you
They're laid to rest Before they know just what to do Their souls are lost Because they could never find
What's this life for
I see your soul, it's kind of gray I see your heart, you look away You see my wrist, I know your pain I know your purpose on your plane
Don't say a last prayer Because you could never find
What's this life for
But they ain't here anymore Don't have to settle the score Cause we all live Under the reign of one king

 | My Own Prision |  |
| | A court is in session, a verdict is in no appeal on the docket today just my own sin the walls are cold and pale the cage made of steal screams fill the room alone i drop and kneel
Silence now the sound my breath the only motion around Demonds cluttering around my face showing no emotion Shackeled by my sentence expeting no return Here there is no penence my skin begins to burn
So I held my head up high hiding hate that burns inside Which only fuels their selfish pride We're all held captive out from the sun a sun that shines on only some We the meek are all in one
I hear a thunder in the distance see a vision of a cross I feel the pain that was given and that sad day of loss A lion roars in the darkness only he holds the key A light to free me from my burden and grant me life eternally
Should have been dead on a sunday morning banging my head No time for mourning ain't got no time
Should have been dead on a sunday morning banging my head No time for mourning ain't got no time
So I held my head up high hiding hate that burns inside Which only fuels their selfish pride We're all held captive out from the sun a sun that shines on only some We the meek are all in one
I cry out to God seeking only his decision Gabriel stands and conferms i've created my own prison
I cry out to God seeking only his decision Gabriel stands and conferms i've created my own prison
So I held my head up high hiding hate that burns inside Which only fuels their selfish pride
So I held my head up high hiding hate that burns inside Which only fuels their selfish pride
We're all held captive out from the sun a sun that shines on only some We the meek are all in one
So I held my head up high hiding hate that burns inside Which only fuels their selfish pride We're all held captive out from the sun a sun that shines on only some We the meek are all in one

 | Torn |  |
| | Peace is what they tell me Love am I unholy Lies are what they tell me Despise you that control me
The peace is dead in my soul I have blamed the reason for my intentions poor
Yes I'm the one who the only one who Would carry on this far
Torn, I'm filthy Born in my own misery Stole all that you gave me Control you claim you save me
The peace is dead in my soul I have blamed the reason for My intentions poor
Yes I'm the one who The only one who Would carry on this far

 | One |  |
| | Affirmative may be justified take from one give to another The goal is to be unified take my hand be my brother
The payments silenced the masses sanctified by oppression unity took a back seat sliding further into regression
One, oh one the only way is one One, oh one the only way is one
I feel angry i feel helpless want to change the world I feel violent i feel alone dont try and change my mind
Society blind by color why hold down one to raise another Discrimination now on both sides seed of hate blossom further
The world is heading for mutiny when all we want is unity We may raise and fall, but in the end we meet our fate together
One, oh one the only way is one One, oh one the only way is one
I feel angry i feel helpless want to change the world I feel violent i feel alone dont try and change my mind

 | Higher |  |
| | When dreaming I'm guided through another world Time and time again At sunrise I fight to stay asleep 'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place 'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape From the life I live when I'm awake
So let's go there Let's make our escape Come on, let's go there Let's ask can we stay?
Can you take me higher? To the place where blind men see Can you take me higher? To the place with golden streets
Although I would like our world to change It helps me to appreciate Those nights and those dreams But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same The only difference is To let love replace all our hate
So let's go there Let's make our escape Come on, let's go there Let's ask can we stay?

 | What If |  |
| | I can't find the rhyme in all my reason I've lost sense of time and all seasons I feel I've been beaten down By the words of men who have no grounds I can't sleep beneath the trees of wisdom When your ax has cut the roots that feed them Forked tongues in bitter mouths Can drive a man to bleed from inside out
What if you did? What if you lied? What if I avenge? What if eye for an eye?
I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine Destroy the man who lacks a strong mind Human pride sings a vengeful song Inspired by the times you've been walked on My stage is shared by many millions Who lift their hands up high because they feel this We are one We are strong The more you hold us down the more we press on
What if you did? What if you lied? What if I avenge? What if eye for an eye?
I know I can't hold the hate inside my mind 'Cause what consumes your thoughts controls your life So I'll just ask a question What if? What if your words could be judged like a crime?
