1.	Transcendence Pt I 04:15	lyrics
The only limit that I impose on myself Is not to listen to my imagination I am a realist, look at the evidence Become a futurist, where can we go from here? I'll make waves where there's no water, to break the calm Shattering walls to bring disorder I'll shift the tides and show what's been drowning under Revealing what we've all become This time is all we have to make a change This life is all we have to see our mistakes Grab on for this ride Transcend into another life Bring yourself back from the edge Brace your mind for times that lie ahead Is this all we have? Can we change our direction? We're waking up to a bitter end We're waking up to start again Let's build a better future
2.	In Turmoil 05:17	lyrics
Torn Stare out into the distance A future unfolding beyond Standing between Your conscience and your goals Unable to find the balance Unyielding to fall Desperately seeking, solace in advice Atonement, redemption Inviting they entice Longing for answers to give unto yourself Patience in the maelstrom Let truth reveal itself Keeping back your desire Let the yearning take a hold I survived but lost it all My fortune left to fade Ignoring those who force their way Stubborn to my last dying breath Feeding your burning senses This world is at your finger tips Embrace the changes Feel the wind upon your face Waiting for it all to end To shift this balance Something has to give Break this cycle With our sweat and tears The familiar pull beneath your feet Limbs swinging heavy Breath falling short Keeping back your desire Let the yearning take a hold I survived but lost it all My fortune left to fade out Into the darkness The light of her eyes Meets your own Stare out into the distance A future unfolding beyond Try to break your limit.
3.	In Control 03:09	lyrics
Can’t take it back Just to face another empty day I can't run out Else I'll feel the consequences tearing me away Fuck, this is another sign I need to change my ways So far behind in time Wait for it all to end I close these eyes to drift away but nothing changes Trapped inside reality, I have to get free Take it back Just to lose myself in doubt again I can't let go of all these memories Keeping sleep away I'll take what's mine To feel it, to feel it burning deep inside We've crossed this line Because I need it, I need it to survive this damaged life I close these eyes to drift away but nothing changes Trapped inside reality, I have to get free
4.	Altruism 05:47	lyrics
Recognise the failures that you hide inside these walls Give into confusion then take control of it all Grab onto fate and steer it clear lead us away With nothing left to show but a bleeding heart You can never hope to change But we can make a difference Come together for another And take all their pain away I feel alive when we collide Our hearts in overdrive, with watered eyes I'll free my mind when this fear subsides An altruistic life leads me blind The progress we make is never enough But if we give up now we'll fall apart, we will fail Take it upon yourself to do the righteous thing But who am I to judge when I can't help myself I face, I face it all alone, unfaltering but unprepared Empty words save no one, only actions make you strong So come with me once more, this hand I offer anew Alone you are no more, this trust we have renewed
5.	Transcendence Pt II 08:40	lyrics
Fall into my open arms Feel free to leave your fear behind Our differences make us stronger When combined we stand against them all Beyond the scene we have made You kneel with open wounds, your heart beats faster still Blood drenched battlefields Your legacy enshrined, all for the greater good? Have we lost our way? We can't let go, tears cutting through the red We can't hold on, their story says it all We can't let go, through until the end We can't hold on, our fates will collide Our fates will collide Our trust held firm Through every task that we faced But do these ends justify our means Of all the lives we've erased I'll take what's mine, to feel it To feel it burning deep inside Upon reflection it all seems rather moot No revelation to ever be had Bring this disaster upon ourselves But look at all that we've created now Transcended into a higher state Beyond our limits, beyond our wildest dreams Follow the instincts that have served you well Revolution at hand, don't lose your grip The pride of the illusion Enough confidence to fall away Courage and honour mean nothing When faced with insurmountable odds I'll make waves where there's no water To break the calm Open up your wounds and reach inside Forging further into your conviction, the unknown Commit to the fucking cause, commit to the cause This life is all that we have (all that we have) To make a change (change) Dissonant your voice rings in our ears Your words fall short, our path remains unclear Push harder past the void and reach this end Anticipation of your deep regret Further, deeper, reaching and failing
