The Prelude Implicit Album

Fall into a single line,
and let the feed you for a while.
To each and every single one,
They will promise you the sun.
Can you see the lies within their eyes,
They try to plant illusion in your mind.

Well aware of their untruths,
they fabricate this show for you.
A flight of fancy they convey.
Like kings they want to dominate.

With the lies they hide behind their eyes,
Their plan is one that takes you for a ride.
Crazy how this world of ours is spinning wild.
You try to pause, but time it just slips right on by.
So many things surround us and we lose our sight.
How we fail to see what's right before our eyes.

They come in every shape and size,
and are split along the aisle.
They sit with different points of view,
All they take, they take form you.
Intoxicated with their greed.
This gathering of jokers, fools, and thieves.

Crazy how this world of ours is spinning wild.
You try to pause, but time it just slips right on by.
So many things surround us and we lose our sight.
How we fail to see what's right before our eyes.

How we fail to see what's right before our eyes.

I need to tell you
I must convey
The thanks I feel for the people that face everyday
I know the feeling
I've lived the life
Waking each morning to fight the daily grind

And I know it's hard to go on
When it seems like your strength is all gone
But I'm here to say
Deliver some praise
To the unsung heroes of each day

We're all dependent
To strive and sustain
No task too simple
No danger for those who are brave

And I know it's hard to go on
When it seems like your strength is all gone
But I'm here to say
Deliver some praise
To the unsung heroes of each day
When tragedy strikes
We come together like a chain
We can make all things right
When we see things the same
Hearts beat as one
When we share some love
I do believe
It can be done
We're really no different
In some way we all pray
We search inside ourselves and we all find our faith

I need to tell you
I must convey
The thanks I feel for people in every way

And I know it's hard to go on
When it seems like your strength is all gone
But I'm here to say
Deliver some praise
To the unsung heroes of each day

Trying to find a change
Bad habits have a way
Of numbing all the pain
Inherent in what we see
And what we've come to know
We emulate the ones we want to be
Answers hard to find
With a mind that lives confined
Blind and unaware
Doesn't mean it isn't there

[Chorus:]
If you can change your mind
And see what's there to find
There's rhythm in the spirit
A new light will arise
And let you recognize
Reaching to fill the glass
This one is number eight
Behaviour is innate
With all sensation gone
Not knowing to refuse
Be careful now,
There's everything to lose

Answers hard to find
With a mind that lives confined
Blind and unaware
Doesn't mean it isn't there
But knowing what we know
There are better things to share
[Chorus]

Answers hard to find
With a mind that lives confined
Blind and unaware
Doesn't mean it isn't there
But knowing what we know
There are better things to share

[Chorus]

In darkness you are walking in a world you're all alone
In a search for freedom very far away
You've been shaken by brutality and driven from your home
By an evil that will never go away
Every moment you're surrounded by the sheer insanity
When the nightly terror knocks upon your door
And you know the time has come to leave your family and flee
But the thought of leaving chills you to the core

[Chorus:]
God please, please protect the children
And put her on a path where she'll be free
Give solace to her fate with all her innocence
And give sanctuary to this refugee
After months of pain and crying you arrive where you believe
You'll feel the comfort of a helping hand
But they close your eyes to freedom and they're forcing you to stay
In a dark world you could never understand
[Chorus]

Oh, what's become of us
Is it right to hide our heads within the sand
Oh, what's become of us
Are we so blind that we can't understand

Somewhere there is
A place where all the things that live and breathe
Exist in harmony
Sharing gifts of what a world of life
Can bring to those who see
Giving back more than they take, they need
To stay in balance, letting colors synchronize
Somehow the light,
Of greater minds of knowledge lead us through
The darkness of night
Calculated the dimensions flow
A formula that's just and right
Bringing us to reason and reform
The logic that eludes, the changing answers of the truth
Someway we'll find
A way to hold the innocence we had in
The eyes of a child
To wake each day with open hearts and minds
Devoid of tarnishing from life
Beyond a darkness that conceals our hate
No one to despise
No more feelings to disguise

Deeply buried secrets that you have to hide away
You'll never have a chance to make things right
What hides behind your walls of stone are a thousand broken dreams
The games you played must never see the light
Endless days go on and on
Losing faith that kept you strong
Hard to feel like you belong
My, how your whole world's been shaken

[Chorus:]
Learning to hide in obscurity
Hopin' no one can solve your mystery
Trying to hide the lies you're fakin'
Your world will be shaken to the bone
When your cover's blown
Wandering confusion seeking shelter from the storm
You've been searching for an answer for so long
And in your mind you know it's not a stranger that you chase
Is it pointless now to try to right your wrongs

Endless days go on and on
Losing faith that kept you strong
Hard to feel like you belong
My, how your whole world's been shaken
[Chorus]

Behind a mask concealing the true nature of your lies
A reflection that you see but can't disguise
A never-ending cycle of false witness and deceit
The truth within you makes you realize

Endless days go on and on
Losing faith that kept you strong
Hard to feel like you belong
My, how your whole world's been shaken

[Chorus]

When we think back to what we shared
Well, it takes us to a time so long ago, we still remember
We weren't making any plans
And our future lay in diagrams
Beyond that winding highway
How were we supposed to know
That our time would come and go so fast
And we'd be racing in time
We'll never forget all the things that we shared
The way that we felt as we stood there
The paths that we chose left us distant and free
But we'll never forget that summer
We'll never forget that summer

We reflect as time has passed
We could never let ourselves forget the time we spent together
We held magic in our hands
And our hopes became as one
The lessons learned will last forever
Painful but we all moved on
And the memories kept us strong
And we just tried to ride out the winter

We'll never forget all the things that we shared
The way that we felt as we stood there
The paths that we chose left us distant and free
But we'll never forget that summer
We'll never forget that summer
Painful but we all moved on
And the memories kept us strong
And we just tried to ride out the winter

We'll never forget all the things that we shared
The way that we felt as we stood there
The paths that we chose left us distant and free
But we'll never forget that summer
I'll never forget that summer

With every step, I hesitate
In a world too fast
It's hard to move beyond my own door
How can I get away
From eyes that are empty
And look inside
To hearts so cold
Surrounded by faces
That have no names

I'll take to the streets
Pave a new way
Show some emotion
Alone I can change this reign
Of crowded isolation

Cold in the air
Cold to the touch
Is how we live
I bleed in a crowd
And no one that's there
Lends a helping hand
Like a silent scream
That falls of deaf ears
Does no one care
Why can't they see
Who they should be
I'll take to the streets
Pave a new way
Show some emotion
Alone I can change this reign
Of crowded isolation

Unable to feel
Sensation is gone
No need to react
When your body moves
No one observes
All expression lost
Inanimate beings
Confined in a world
Of shadowed walls
Is this the way
We meant it to be
I'll take to the streets
Pave a new way
Show some emotion
Alone I can change this reign
Of crowded isolation

From inside our hearts
We need to find grace
Try to reach, make a motion
And try to live face to face
Instead of crowded isolation
