*******


Between the world and the one inside

The truth you speak and the one you hide

Some stolen moments and a struggle within



Behind the pain and the sacrifice

Behind the mask and the grey disguise

How many angels dancing on the head of a pin?



There's a meeting at the midnight hour

Come alive and seize your power

Giving sight to the blind

We are one of a kind

So welcome here

Tonight



In the presence of a moment divine

As the shadows gather at the shrine

We retreat and advance

In the spell of the dance

Familiars all

Tonight



Before the mirror but behind the veil

Within the box but beyond the pale

The narrow margin peering down into the abyss



Believe in you and the flame within

Your real face, your second skin

Your soul immortal, radiant and given to bliss



Come out, come out wherever you hide

Time to stand and walk with pride

There's a look in your eye 
I could never deny

And it means the world

Tonight



Caught within a second sublime

Like the nail through the hands of time

There's a tale told bizarre

That's behind every scar

And I'm yours, all ears

Tonight



Your flashing eyes

Lay bare your soul

For all to see



Your beating heart

In time with mine

There's only you and me




Because we now have the eyes to see

That we are sovereign, true and free

Free to play our future like the beat of a drum



Because we now hold our heads up high

Because their judgment we decry

Brothers and sisters

Thy kingdom come

very true words.

Back to their roots with a vengeance... Well, hard rock and darkwave if you leave out the celtic and neo-goth sounds of the first album.

Great sound and driving beat :) They are still at their peak!

@wackyraces09 or perhaps to fringe elements of society in general lol

Such a wonderful band! They have so much talent and creativity! It's such a shame that the mainstream rock radio stations don't give them the time of day. But then again, maybe Faith and the Muse wouldn't want to.
