Battlecry 03:41
Darkness under moon lit skies. Firefight has me running for my life. A mother's cry, will her child survive. Bullets fly from the Devil's eyes. Chorus I can't find my way, Smoke gets in my eyes. Daybreak against the western skies. Thousands marching in for the fight. A dragon flys across the fiery skies. Bullets fly, another soldier must die. Chorus But I can't find my way, the blood is in my eyes. I am on my way, I just can't find my way I am on my way, I lived another day.

Faded pictures and our songs of yesterday So much misery from all the things I didn't say Hey I'm going now I must be on my way So let the rain fall down on my knees I pray You are everywhere I am Who do you want me to be, is tomorrow too late You are everything I bleed All the promises I break Street corner preacher not worth a cent for words they say. I'm suffocating from the tongues that echo wicked lies. Seven little children with tears their eyes. I just want to breathe a point of clarity for you I'll pray. You are everywhere I am Who do you want me to be, is tomorrow too late You are everything I bleed All the promises I break You are everywhere I am Who do you want me to be, is tomorrow too late You are everything I bleed All the promises I break Faded pictures {Spoken} It's the weight of the world that that lies on my shoulders. The dark shadows that follow me through the night. Faded pictures {Spoken} In a world that's full of sin and hatred. Will I ever find my way now? Faded pictures.

Old Jack 05:30
See old Jack his face is dirty shoes are worn. Standing there with his hand out to you. See her there she's hungry lost her children cry Are you sure there's nothing you can do? It's no coin toss while you search for change. You're feeling life slowly turn the page. Is this it, is this all I've longed for? Is this all is there nothing more? You see them there moments away from where you stand. You realize you're just a step away. You see the man, his hand and is out his heart awaits. Are you sure you're going to turn and walk away? It’s no coin toss while you search for faith You're feeling life slowly turn the page. Is this it is this all I've longed for? Is this all is there nothing more? Pictures of my life go by right before my face. The child that I once was now stands there in my place. Take the time to teach your children about amazing grace. Yeah! Pictures of my life go by right before my face. The child that I once was now stands there in my place. Take the time to teach your children about this humans race. Yeah!

Far Away 05:03
Erase the tears that fall from my eyes Counting bridges that separate our lives But knowing my intentions It’s so hard to say goodbye Making this a memory One I can’t deny You’re so far, far away In my mind, my heart and soul I bury you away You’re so far, far away You were my whole life But now you've gone away You've gone away With changing moments time passes by I wish upon a star that falls tonight I close my eyes so I can see your face Holding you close to me is Where I want to be You’re so far, far away In my mind, my heart and soul I bury you away yeah You’re so far, far away You were my whole life But now you've gone away I was lost living day by day Deeper and deeper inside My buried pain will stay I was lost living day by day Deeper and deeper inside My buried pain will stay You’re so far, far away In my mind, my heart and soul I bury you away yeah You’re so far, far away You were my whole life But now you've gone away You’re like a butterfly I set you free to fly You've gone so far away You've gone so far away Away You’re like a butterfly I set you free to fly A diamond in the sky You have gone away Away You’re like a butterfly I set you free to fly A diamond in the sky You have gone away And wipe the tears from my face

The Road 03:43
I can feel your eyes upon me, as I’m reaching for the door. I turn for your embrace, I just got to have one more. The road outside is calling, one thousand exits long. Enough time for me to write, all the words to this old song. Chorus The road is long. When you’re on your own. I’ve got to be strong. Cause the road goes on and on and on and on. The road it goes on forever. never ever seems to end. I get a little closer, seems your just around the bend. I can see you waiting for me like a thousand times before. Home for your embrace, then right back out the door.

Feel It 04:31
Feel it coming up inside me. Feel it like a tidal wave. Feel it coming up beside me. But I don't want to be your slave. See him standing there before me. See him holding out his hand. Calling out my name he knows me. Paid my price released my debt. Chorus Feel it in my heart again. All your reasons they don't apply to me. Feel it in my heart again. There's no time tomorrow's Here again. Here you coming up behind me. Acting like you're my friend. Promising fame and glory. But I know how your story ends. See him standing there before me. He's my one and only friend. Standing there in all his glory. And promising they'll be no end. Chorus Feel it in my heart again. All your reasons they don't apply to me. Feel it in my heart again. There's no time tomorrow's Here again. See him standing there before me. He's my one and only friend. Standing there in all his glory. And telling me they'll be no end.

Lost 04:28
A young girl 20 years old On a corner selling her soul Saw your daughter but that was yesterday Dark and cold and she looked away To another world that's where she'll go Guided through now carry her soul A sinner conceived at birth that's what she'll do But what about you? Corruption of all has consumed their minds The streets that own them they draw their line As fucked up as it may be Confined and deceived oh we believe To another world that's where they'll go Guided through now carry their souls A sinner conceived at birth that's what they'll do What about you? What about you? What about you? You! Walking through the streets I hear The cry of a little girl Wake up Daddy please don't die When death is before us that's where will lie Fate has taken him beyond the skies To another world oh that's where he'll go Guided through lord carry his soul But I ask now What about you? What about bout what about What about bout what about What about you? What about bout what about What about bout what about What about you? What about bout what about What about bout what about What about you? You.

Rolling highway 101 thought I saw you there my son. Beneath the whispering pine. Saw your sister too she reminded you of the love I've left behind. Your faces trailing by I can think of you and sigh. I pray for you, I pray for me. Rolling down that road Feel my heart explode Riding hwy 23 got you right here beside me were rolling down that road. I still can't believe that soon you'll have to leave. Take my love with you when you go. I see that airport sign telling me its time I hate to let you go. Riding the highway home feel my heart explode. I feel my heart break every step that you away from me. I watch the plane go everything that I know disappears. I want you to know I'm missing you so I want you to see You’re everything to me. Riding the highway home feel my heart implode. I want you with me I need you to be with me right here. See Your face everywhere man I could swear you're still right here. I wish you could see i wish you could be with me right here. And we’d cruise on down that road.

You’re my only reason you're light before my eyes I’m reaching for the heavens but only touch the skies I witness every moment of you running with air A treasure kind and tender your love is not to fear In the fields of a wanderer they say our dreams appear I feel so alone and somber Oh it brings me home again In the fields of a wanderer With you I'm not alone The answer is forgiveness It's where our inner soul begins You see my reflections And through the scars of where I've been broken roads I've fallen from have made me who I am In the fields of a wanderer they say our dreams appear I feel so alone and somber Oh it brings me home again In the fields of a wanderer With you I'm not alone What appears before me is the tender beauty of your soul Silently secluded the air I breath is getting cold The whisper of the winds begin as the pages all unfold Sharing every minute of life with you, and growing old. Ohhh Ohhhh Ohhhh The Fields of the Wanderer In the fields of a wanderer they say our dreams appear I feel so alone and somber Oh it brings me home again In the fields of a wanderer With you I'm not alone I'm not alone (repeat)
