lyrics
We are the weak we are the desperate, Our lives become disconnected, We are the weak we are the desperate, The time has come to be reconnected Hands move while the hourglass shifts Create the means to confine our dreams The end is near, we’re the corrupting The heart of man is the second coming It’s our purpose in life to capture and hold Our hopes and dreams at the end of a rope Time isn’t just a measure of our existence It’s the fate that will define Without constraints of time Will be the end of the line I hear it in their voices The tides are turning, the vision is blurring Of what we’ve made will be left in ruin So let it burn let it all burn There is nothing left to return The absence of faith, the greed of mankind The consequences of our time Burn let it burn Nothing left to return There is nothing left to even believe in I’ve got nothing left to believe in It’s our purpose in life to capture and hold Our hopes and dreams at the end of a rope Time isn’t just a measure of our existence It’s the fate that will define It’s our purpose in life to capture and hold Our hopes and dreams at the end of a rope Time isn’t just a measure of our existence It’s the fate we’ll leave behind We are the weak we are the desperate Our lives become disconnected We are the weak we are the desperate The time has come to be reconnected It’s our purpose in life to capture and hold Our hopes and dreams at the end of a rope Time isn’t just a measure of our existence It’s the fate that will define It’s our purpose in life to capture and hold Our hopes and dreams at the end of a rope Time isn’t just a measure of our existence It’s the fate we’ll leave behind We are the weak we are the desperate Our lives become disconnected We are the weak we are the desperate Our time has come to be reconnected

Arbiter 03:10
lyrics
We’re always searching for the answers that cannot be found Trapped on the floor and God is knocking on my door I'm done with false hope, I won't answer anymore I no longer understand your plan and now I waver like wind upon the sand I am the arbiter I am the truth of the Earth I will devastate the interior Without relief, my soul shall fall beneath Without the answers I seek do I fall in between? Understanding the world and all the pain it leaves Where is the God that I once believed? Seeking shelter from all the hate you bring How do I still believe? The absence of faith Is what drives us to hate A man without love Nothing left from above A world turned cold and alone Diminishing all the hope I once had for the masses Take part in resistance Take part in truth Believe in our passions Believe in truth Understanding the world and all the pain it leaves Where is the God that I once believed? Seeking shelter from all the hate you bring How do I still believe? I am the arbiter I am the truth of the Earth

Drifters 02:42
lyrics
I can’t remember the last time I felt so alive Forgotten moments in life, Forgotten Help me understand what it all means Moving on to what I can’t see Never knowing the answers to questions Never being the person I sought to be I watched my dreams go to waste Watched all my friends go to places I’ll never know So many faces So many times to recall This place I barely remember I once called home I’m so out of touch with the world What has my life become This is the last time I refuse to be alone This is the calling For my loved ones Where is my home I won’t forget the places That brought life and meaning to me I won’t forget the faces That brought love and meaning to me I watched my dreams go to waste Watched all my friends go to places I’ll never know So many faces So many times to recall This place I barely remember I once called home
