1. Intro Tranquillity

2. Soul Doubt

A primal battle of good and bad inside my head
I felt it level all the strength I had
I hope we find the moral courage in ourselves
To start searching instead of just dwell

Deeply digging in your mind
But all you find is the front that you hide behind
So much failure running through your thoughts
We settle for knowledge, but wisdom should be sought

Soul searching
Molds breaking
Doubt lurking
Faith shaking

Eternal battle of wrong and right deep down inside
All-seeing eyes yet we still are blind
I hope we find the moral courage in ourselves
To break free from these hollow shells

Deeply digging in my mind
To attain a higher level, to see beyond sight
Convinced myself that I have the heart
'Cause from the start we were told to just play our part

(lead Berchmans)

Soul searching
Molds breaking
Doubt lurking
Faith shaking

You can't understand, you've never seen through these eyes
A constant quest for truth in a world of lies
Shake these hands and feel how they tremble
Kiss these cheeks as I hear their cries


3. Deliverance From Suffering

There's a war to be fought and independence to strive for
Souls will be bought while we rearrange our lives
Our hearts will tremble, our fists will shake
They will remember this cycle we'll break

Chewed by the jaws of life
Soul survivors of struggle and strife
An award of sorrow is drawing near
We fear its coming but it's already here

Deceivers, make-believers
See them dealing crooked hands
Intriguers, Trouble-seekers
Soon be meeting violent ends

Watch them destroy what we've built
Growing numb as apathy gnaws at guilt
A thousand fiends, like hissing snakes
Will I receive more than I can take?

Chewed by the jaws of life
Soul survivors of struggle and strife
An award of sorrow is drawing near
We fear its coming but it's already here

(lead Goetgebuer)

Deceivers, make-believers
See them dealing crooked hands
Intriguers, Trouble-seekers
Soon be meeting violent ends

The people around me, in routines they are stuck
Content to live their lives, live life by bad luck


4. Fire, fire

You ain't nowhere near safe with me.
