Verse 1:
I'm tired of playing the game.
We follow the rules, but it's all in vain.
Looking for answers to questions no one asked
The seasons don't ever change.
Beneath the veneer, everything's the same.
Go through the motions waiting for each day to pass
Pre-chorus 1:
I thought that my only choice is to welcome my demise
But now I can hear the voices beseeching me to realize...
Chorus 1:
The future's knocking on your door
You have nothing to fear anymore
A new day is here. Don't let it go by.
For fate is in your hands
Set out today a brand new start
Eradicate all doubt in your heart
There's always tomorrow, abandon your sorrow
The future calls. What are you waiting for?
Verse 2:
Familiar faces again
They laugh and they cry, but it's all pretend
We all are strangers to those we're closest to
Can’t even remember the date
With every step we confine our fate
But now it’s time to challenge everything you knew
Pre-chorus 2:
They say that the more that things change, the more they stay the same
But even in this day and age, the questions we hold still remain
Chorus 2:
A new beginning is at hand
And destiny is at your command
The pathway is clear. Don’t live in the past.
Stop holding yourself back
Leave all uncertainty behind
This ain’t the time to wait for a sign
Forget every worry; you’ve just got to hurry
The future’s here. The journey’s just begun

Verse 1:
Whenever I close my eyes
The thoughts are racing in my mind
Reflecting on these actions
What does it take to become something more?
This moment is one that I can’t ignore
The world just keeps spinning on
We’re waiting for a new sign
What does it take to fulfill all my dreams
This planet's not quite what it seems
Chorus 1:
For every time that you stumble and fall
Ya just gotta climb back and stand up tall
Don’t let the small things bring you down
Answer to a higher call
And although the journey is still far from done
There’s no need to hurry--look how far we’ve come
It’s better to have lived and lost
Than to never learn at all
Verse 2:
A moment lasts forever
The ancestors reminding me
We go by trial and error
What does it take to attain all I yearn?
There’s so much more we’ve yet to learn
Chorus 2:
But every mile on our wandering way
Will be worth the while on that final day
And even in the darkest hour
Do not be led astray
Through every mistake I may come to regret
The choices I make I will never forget
It’s easier to hide the past
But I’m learning to accept
Chorus 3:
For every time that you stumble and fall
Ya just gotta climb back and stand up tall
Don’t let the small things bring you down
Answer to a higher call
And although the journey is still far from done
There’s no need to hurry--look how far we’ve come
It’s better to have lived and lost
Than to never learn at all

Your Legacy

Verse 1:
You pretended there was nothing wrong, but I knew
That deep inside you're searching for an end. And you’re not alone.
You are not as strong as you let on. Had ‘em fooled
In stillness now you lie. I need you here by my side.
Chorus 1:
But the legacy will last forever
No need to be afraid
‘Cos even in the silence
The echoes of that life will never fade
Eternally you'll be remembered
Your wishes will be done
I wonder what you’d think of me
When you see what I have become
Verse 2:
Won’t you stay for a while by my side
I know that you’ve been hiding for so long. But you’re not alone.
I remember the sadness of that smile, so I tried
To show the world to you. There's nothing else I can do
Chorus 2:
But the sun will rise again tomorrow
No longer shall we fear
For death is not the end
The memories will never disappear
There’s no more time for us to borrow
The venue must go on
I only wish that you could be here
To see when the war is won
Outro:
We will not forget (And history won’t be the same)
The legacy will carry on (The centuries may pass but you remain)
We will not look back (‘Cos in my heart I realize)
For now we see the breaking dawn (That someday from the ashes you will rise)

Verse
I can hear you calling out to me
Always on my mind no matter where you are
I just can’t shake the feeling deep inside
There’s nothing that can stop us now
We’re moving faster than a shooting star
Just tearing through the sky
Prechorus
Cos we were made for each other in this lonely world
Don’t be afraid. You’re the only one that I need
So don’t delay. We have made it all this way
There is no turning back
Verse
But now we’re going nowhere fast
It’s like I’m always just one step behind
I think it’s time we turn this thing around.
Just got to open up your heart.
We are meant to be. How could you be so blind?
You’re not so innocent
Prechorus
You can’t deny I’m a part of you and you in me
Don’t ask me why, cos you wanted this all along
This is the night I am through pretending this is just a game
It’s driving me insane
Chorus
What’s keeping us apart?
Why do you play games with my heart?
We got this far, and now you're having second thoughts?
Don't turn away from me
Cos I got everything you need
Why can’t you see that I’m the only one who’s got to set you free
Prechorus
You can’t deny I’m a part of you and you in me
Don’t ask me why, cos you wanted this all along
This is the night I am through pretending this is just a game
It’s driving me insane
Chorus
What’s keeping us apart?
Why do you play games with my heart?
We got this far, and now you're having second thoughts?
Don't turn away from me
Cos I got everything you need
Why can’t you see? Make up your mind girl, what is it gonna be?
Chorus repeat
What are you waiting for? And hesitating for?
There’s nothing more that I can do to prove my love
Don’t want your sympathy. You know just what I need
Cos’ now you see. Tonight I'll be the one who’s got to set you free

Any More With Me

Verse 1:
You’re waiting by the riverside
I see a glimmer of the starry sky against your hair
Those eyes reflecting silver moonlight
You shiver just a little bit
I pull you close to me
And I still remember it
Can’t forget that night when you and I
Chorus 1:
Together vanquished all our hidden fears
And nothing stood in our way
Now I wonder why you’re not here anymore with me
Verse 2:
A thousand gleaming lights above
We gaze into the cosmos wondering how long this could last
And even if we draw our last breath
I promised things would never change
There’s nothing keeping us apart now. But ain’t it strange?
I run into the night alone
Chorus 2:
Cos even after all these passing years
The memories still remain
And I realize you’re not here anymore
But I can’t believe
Bridge:
It’s too late to ask for an encore
We can’t turn back the wheel of time
For every beginning has an end
So then why do I still pretend?
Chorus 3:
Together vanquished all my hidden fears
I’ll never forget the day. Now it’s history.
But even after all these passing years
The memories still remain
I go back to the water thinking you’d be here
Take a dive into the river of time and disappear
In the darkness I hear your voice
Now I realize you’re not hear anymore

Verse:
Tell me the reason
Everything that I worked for has to fade away
Tell me the reason
Even now I still want more. I crave it every day
Tell me the reason
Everyone that I hold dear, they think I’m going mad
Tell me the answer
Only time heals the heart that I once had
Prechorus:
But when it all comes to an end
I may never get this shot again
I’m not afraid to stand alone
The only life worth saving is my own
Chorus:
Cos’ I know that I’m right here
I will be the only one
Even though the coldest night draws near
I will have my time in the sun
Hear the calling in the wind
See the markings in the sand
Be ready, cos’ here I am
Verse 2:
What is the meaning
Of this never ending dream from which I cannot wake?
What is the meaning
Of the visions haunting me? There’s nowhere to escape
What is the meaning
Of the faces they all wear? They stare into my heart.
What is the purpose?
I will not stay beholden to this farce
Prechorus 2:
But when it’s time to pay the price
Be prepared to make that sacrifice
I’m not afraid to take the fall
I had no need for answers after all
Chorus 2:
Cos’ I know that I’m right here
I will be the only one
Even though the coldest night draws near
I will have my time in the sun
Hear the calling in the wind
See the markings in the sand
Be ready, cos’ here I am
Prechorus 3:
But when it all comes to an end
I may never get this shot again
I’m not afraid to stand alone
The only life worth saving is my own
Chorus 3:
They will see that I’m still here
And I know what must be done
And even when I'm gripped with fear
I’ll find a way to carry on
Hear the voices in your ears
See the havoc through my eyes
Now the world is ending; we’re running out of time
Chorus 4:
Cos’ I know that I’m right here
I will be the only one
Even though the coldest night draws near
I will have my time in the sun
Hear the calling in the wind
See the markings in the sand
Now above it all I stand
Here I am

Last Chance

Verse 1:
Beneath an ashen sky, I start to wonder why
It feels like everything has lost its color
We have nowhere to go. A future no one knows
We’re crawling towards a light just barely out of reach
Pre-chorus:
One last chance to make things right
This is the one last chance, to finish good fight
You’ve come too far to wait another day
Just one more time, don’t let it end
Come on one more time, do it all over again
You fought too hard to throw it all away
Chorus:
And now the reckoning has come. It’s now or never
To sacrifice all the artifice and step into the light
Because now the prophecy’s begun, we’ll live forever
And everything you need is right there by your side
Pre-chorus:
One last chance, life is on the line
This is your one last chance, hurry make up your own mind
The end’s at hand. Why do you hesitate?
Just one more time, let me hear your voice
Come on one more time, gotta follow your own choice
So take a stand before it is too late
Chorus:
For now the reckoning has come. It’s now or never
To leave behind your peace of mind and face the darkest night
Because now the prophecy’s begun, we’ll live forever
And everything you fear is only in your mind
Outro:
There’s no more time for answers; the questions are all wrong
The only thing you will ever need, you had it all along
And in this fateful moment, I’m starting to believe
That all good things in life take a lifetime to achieve
