1.	Soul Eater 04:16	lyrics	buy track
Try to stay awake, can't take it anymore My first mistake, was opening that door Now I can't escape, every time I close my eyes It wants to kill me, there is no compromise Brought into this world Evil left unfurled Born to end my life Soul eater(x2) Maybe a witch can save me, as she casts a midnight spell To call the beast within me, and send it back to hell But now the flames surround me, and they're melting off my skin Once again he's found me, and now my life has come to end Brought into this world Evil left unfurled Born to end my life Soul eater (Soul) Soul eater Death will carry me away A living creature of death and destruction Born from the evils of the nightmares within Another victim of his need for construction A soulless vessel uncorrupted by sin Let loose the monster that is living within you Unchain the power that resides in your soul Embrace the madness as it slowly destroys you A new existence and a future untold A future untold (A future untold)
2.	Rise 04:23	lyrics	buy track
Stepping out of the shadow of my former life, leave it behind. Make a break for a future that is sunny and bright, I'm taking flight. I hear a whisper in the darkness and it's calling my name, "remain the same". But I don't listen to the demon that's inside of my brain, so I stay sane. So if you're fighting with your demons there's a better way, to save the day. Take my hand and I'll take you to a great escape, away from pain. The time has come to make it right. (Oh, Oh, Oh) Your destiny is now in sight. Rise...Rise...Rise... And reach up to the stars, in the sky. Rise...Rise...Rise... And you can go so far, just take your flight. Rise...Rise...Rise... No one can hold you down, you're indestructible. Rise...Rise...Rise... You just need to rise, so rise tonight! The time has come to make it right. (Oh, Oh, Oh) Your destiny is now in sight. (Oh, Oh, Oh) So make your move and chase your dreams. (Oh, Oh, Oh) And show the world just what it mean to rise! (Oh, Oh, Oh) We rise tonight. (Oh, Oh, Oh) We rise tonight. (Can you hear me?!) (Oh, Oh, Oh) We rise tonight. (Everybody) Rise (We rise!)
3.	Take Back Your Memories 04:02	lyrics	buy track
Your memory still lives with me But I don't want it anymore Take it back Take back your memories 'Cause they mean nothing to me And I don't want 'em anymore All those days I loved you Fool enough to trust you Tried to tear my soul apart Straight shot through my bleeding heart Now those days are over Burden off my shoulders And I just want you to fade away And just forget my name I used to think that you were one of a kind (one of a kind) I must've surely lost my mind (lost my mind) How did I fail to see through your lies? (through your lies?) I drank the poison now I'm compromised I'm not to blame for your reckless soul I'm not a puppet that you can control Take back your memories and all your tears Live with regret for all those wasted years Take back your memories and set me free (why don't you?) Take back your memories and set me free (set me free) Take back your memories 'Cause they mean nothing to me And I don't want 'em anymore Take back your memories 'Cause they mean nothing to me I don't want it anymore I used to think that you were one of a kind (one of a kind) I must've surely lost my mind (lost my mind) How did I fail to see through your lies? (through your lies?) I drank the poison now I'm compromised I'm not to blame for your reckless soul I'm not a puppet that you can control Take back your memories and all your tears Live with regret for all those wasted years
4.	Countdown To Mars 03:06	lyrics	buy track
Countdown to mars 10... 9... 8... 7... 6… 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Strapped in, we begin our ascent into the sky Beyond the stars to mars, the first to ever try We stay one way and there's no coming back On wings of steel we take a historic track Leaving my heart at home I travel far across the milky way And I know you're all alone We'll meet again somebody Countdown to mars Countdown to mars Light-years to go, the journey ever show The sky so black, my will begins to crack But I must persevere, find the strength that brought me here My mind grows numb, to memories I succumb Leaving my heart at home I travel far across the milky way And I know you're all alone We'll meet again somebody (I see) Danger Lights are flashing, tables turn, as we begin to crash and burn A bright light, the last thing I see as the dark is taking me Our destination we can see, but it was never meant to be No self-doubt and no regret, we will make the journey yet Countdown to mars Countdown to mars
5.	Salvation 03:45	lyrics	buy track
The lines on her face tell the story Of years she can't replace (No) Shackled in chains, the addiction Is all that remains First it makes you, then it breaks you Heaven help me, before it takes you Your salvation from damnation Hangs in the balance of your temptation Can I lead you to the light? Will you die or will you fight? Your salvation is at stake Don't let it slip away Can I lead you to the light? Will you die or will you fight? Your salvation is at stake It's slipping away First it makes you, then it breaks you Heaven help me, before it takes you Your salvation from damnation Hangs in the balance of your temptation First it makes you, then it breaks you Heaven won't take you I still love you, I still need you Break through the cycle before it defeats you I still love you I still need you Break through the cycle..... In the mirror you realize This person you don't recognize And in that moment you break the spell And vow to end your living hell It wont be easy to make things right But you've the strength to win this fight And be the person you want to be Salvation over tragedy Now, you've seen the light Like an angel taking flight (Taking flight) Awake from the dream She's clean (she's clean, so clean) Now it's a new day Chased the demons far away (far away) Reborn and unafraid Redeemed (redeemed and free) Salvation Woah Salvation
6.	Black Angel 05:58	lyrics	buy track
Angel, such a pretty face Won't you come and take my pain away? Angel, I've no will to live Feeling numb and ready for the grave My life is torn to pieces This pain it never ceases Decision made to end it Close my eyes and sleep to send it (away) But then I see her face Won't let me slip away The angel dressed in black Puts me back on track She whispers in my head "No need to wake up dead" "Just find your will to live" "You've so much left to give" Angel, tell me why you care If I drown in my dark despair And angel, I'm not a worthy soul And your love cannot make me whole Push away the ones who care So selfish and unfair I can't escape this hell Too far down the hole I fell (I fade) But then I see her face Won't let me slip away The angel dressed in black Puts me back on track She whispers in my head "No need to wake up dead" "Just find you will to live" "You've so much left to give" Ready to die, ready to fade to black I can't be saved, I fall beneath the crack She breaks my fall, she's with me through it all Through it all Black angel Black angel Black angel Oh, my angel, my angel
