1.	Warning 03:48	lyrics	buy track
As the last of the sunlight fades They are now fitting to run me right out of town Determined to seal up my fate For to many transgressions they tell me I’ve made And I’m turning over leaf to late Has left me here to suffer this fate and drown Son of the morning, you better be running You’ve run out of warning, steady war faring So before the morning comes I can hear towns people and they start to wake And their summoning up all of their faith And sounds like a fire starts and boom! Cannon fire surrounds you Even with time, even with prayer lord knows I can not erase Humans do make mistakes lord knows I can not erase Chorus (Lyrics by Scott Candiah)
2.	Ghost Town 03:40	lyrics	buy track
I have been told that To be freed from these fears I’ve got to own them No don’t show me your tears Right to the faithless To look for your god here on earth See all the mistakes that I have made By sinning and pushing the good ones aside I am living in a ghost town Contact is scarce Your touch is the rarest And this world has fallen around me I say that I’m feeling all alone now Contact is scarce Your touch is the rarest Right now this world is crumbling all around Time is unsteady One day you will be freed from me And know that when I go I go alone and none shall follow me Mistake’s that I have made By sinning and pushing the good ones aside And sit here all alone, I’ll wait, With lonely bird in my heart like a stone and she’s crying Chorus (Lyrics by Scott Candiah)
3.	Just Forgotten 04:22	lyrics	buy track
It seems that not everything was created equally We’ve come so far and traveled in time, haven’t we So how come when I look around, all I see is starving families So how come when I look around, all I see is so much crime and disease Will somebody be there To help the (poor) people who have fallen, get back up I hear them wailing and crying No help for the fallen ones Them only just forgotten Them only just forgotten…. I see you driving all around in your fancy cars Got the love of all of the ladies, you smoking your Cuban cigars Can hardly believe this, oh no Can I really see you anymore One day the weak will rise up And the mighty ones will stumble and fall One day the weak will rise up And the mighty ones will stumble and fall down Chorus (Lyrics by Scott Candiah)
4.	UFD 04:54	lyrics	buy track
We see his light, overhead We see there is a light, overhead There goes another stifled man Who walks among the shadows of all your broken friends There’s a fire that burns within us all I feel for the fallen ones, who lost their homes, their souls and all Come to the valley of the sun, the sun will rise for everyone No matter what you think you have done, The body is a temple the soul has become Right now tell me what’s to be decided by more bloodshed and wars No peace can come from stealing it all from the poor With no remorse, you eat and you love and you pray for some more You better take a step back and then see just what you’ve been fighting for When you take that step back you’re gonna see the liars have all been winning these wars Chorus We see his light, overhead We see there is a light, overhead Chorus (Lyrics by Scott Candiah/Adam Brahjovic)
5.	Rise 06:30	lyrics	buy track
The earth is quaking, you better watch yourself The water level has been rising for some time And while mountains are chopped and trees are burning down Volcanoes spilling blood from her heart inside So can you make peace in this world filled with war Feels like a battle we’ve been loosing for some time So where will you go now that your home is gone Or will we all be gone before this answer is found Mankind rise, you’ve got to give your mother some love I can hear her crying, she’s involved in the fight for your life So what will it take from a survival point of view No more mystical crafts and righteous visions that can help me see through to you We’ve got to become the change that cleans and lets the light shine through If you only take of our own, she can take care of you Chorus Chorus (Lyrics by Scott Candiah)
6.	No Sacrifice Live! 06:24	lyrics	buy track
I can bend backwards and I will not kill myself just trying to please you No I ain’t here, to try please you I’m gonna tell you to take shelter from the storm Now your telling me all the roads were gonna be traveling on What will be your sacrifice Cause if you want all the glory, blood is the asking price No sacrifice, no victory And if I should walk this earth alone I’ll remember all those old songs sung by our heroes telling us not all that glitters is gold Oh not all that glitters is gold, so be careful what you’ve been chasing down Because not all that glitters is gold. Chorus (Lyrics by Scott Candiah)
