Cassandra 01:34
I would be reprieved If I dared not speak the name Of whom we all can say we came When we look around and see The changing tides here from before An open field left to explore Starlight led her gracefully She dared to be a dreamer Where she found great remembrance I would be reprieved If I dared not speak the name Of whom we all can say we came: Cassandra

Born with an arrow placed on my map Step to new progression Burning the midnight oil Pressing through the find the new unknown Locked in strict succession Destined to grow beyond the thorns Passing of time Forming thoughts appealing to a brighter sight The simple sign Bringing heartfelt spirit to my maiden flight Growing a hunger for what was Thriving with expression Body and soul departed Severed from the artists that we are Lost in swift suppression Building the strength Finding the courage to break free Passing of time Forming thoughts appealing to a brighter sight The simple sign Bringing heartfelt spirit to my maiden flight Casting aside What we consider right Grasping my dream and holding on Passing of time Forming thoughts appealing to a brighter sight The simple sign Bringing heartfelt spirit to my maiden flight

Tensions 03:30
Thoughts rise persistently I’m plagued with distanced destiny Words form in black and white To fill the page, expand our sight Now find your place My ears are burning Can’t spend forever in the clouds Again There is no purpose Neglecting what has been endowed Wings meant to fly Crumble in the winds And paralyze I fall in circles Spinning out with only Lifeless eyes Withstanding all our grief A whispered voice that screams belief Guiding your flower’s bloom Is how you’ll be remembered true Dismiss, provoke It gets you nowhere Simple child it knocks you to the ground For once Won’t you breathe clean air Waves you make will crush you till you drown Wings meant to fly Crumble in the winds And paralyze I fall in circles Spinning out with only Lifeless eyes Crystal skies Seen through tyrant eyes A father’s caustic hand Feeding into blind command Nothing to sculpt who we are Sew up our broken hears Grieving Worthless the pen in my hand With no one who understands My world (Cassandra you’ve fought me hard Only yourself in mind So heed my words This story may not end in kind) Wings meant to fly Crumble in the winds And paralyze I fall in circles Spinning out with only Lifeless eyes

The last note has rung I’m left alone Last words that stung Won’t fade, no I wanna find my way home But without you that is hard enough You always guide me Need to walk but can’t stop falling Into the rough Alone Lights fade dark But the stars don’t shine forever This missing piece has left me empty I’ll fill that space With a purpose laced endeavor So you’ll always be here, with me An empty shell Left here to find A bigger place to fill to put my mind at ease And I know too well What you wanted all along And it brings me to my knees You’ve always told me who to follow My resentment turned acceptance now Your words compel me I never thought I would be free here Standing my ground As one Lights fade dark But the stars don’t shine forever This missing piece has left me empty I’ll fill that space With a purpose laced endeavor So you’ll always be here, with me Save me won’t you Help me to hear you Call my name Am I to blame? Hold me and tell me You’ll be here When I awake Too much to take Lights fade dark But the stars don’t shine forever This missing piece has left me empty I’ll fill that space With a purpose laced endeavor So you’ll always be here, with me

Marching strait in line She’s practical and sound Now moving past the fight Ends to which she’d strive Are buried in the ground She left them all behind Neglect the past Receding back Desire stirring Closing off the roads There must have been a reason A cause she can’t decode Forget move on A life redrawn While hope still lingers The world is changing through her eyes The coming age will set the stage A passage into life Moving ahead of callow times She’ll leave her dreams for shallow means Her heart resenting all the signs

Here ready for my turn To find what I may learn When digging through the ruins of yesterday Each writing lends a sign Of a passion lost in time Where freed was one simple step a brush stroke away Carved in the wall The essence that dissolves A broken progress Wasting our mistakes Look back in time The meaning’s left behind Regressed unnoticed Tensions ready to break My silence can’t abide With the voice that screams inside For change to rise but won’t without a push I’ll take my pen in hand One chance to take command This faceless ghost will tear this broken system apart Carved in the wall The essence that dissolves A broken progress Wasting our mistakes Look back in time The meaning’s left behind Regressed unnoticed Tensions ready to break Cast to the side Only sought to remember the spite As we fray There’s no growing this way Forced perspective Still reflective Careless and disgraced Masked existence Sparks resistance Clio steps ahead and takes my place Carved in the wall The essence that dissolves A broken progress Wasting our mistakes Look back in time The meaning’s left behind Regressed unnoticed Tensions ready to break

Catch those eyes they wander off A hint I’d best be taking Feel my breath it’s getting soft The world around me shaking Empty promises recurring I fear are coming Fated happiness is stirring A chance to take the best Now that I’ve seen the sign And I know it’s right I’ll take that leap With the part of me That I know is true I will follow you As a beacon left to find Standing just within my reach Your face lets time draw slower Growing closer through my dreams Your light that blooms a flower Broken memories collecting As my defection Perfect harmony reflecting The missing piece I’d lost Now that I’ve seen the sign And I know it’s right I’ll take that leap With the part of me That I know is true I will follow you As a beacon left to find Holding the truth from you is Scolding my tainted conscience needs Healing the trust I’ve broken Revealing the hallowed face I bear! Now that I’ve seen the sign And I know it’s right I’ll take that leap With the part of me That I know is true I will follow you As a beacon left to find

Scorn 03:05
Public displaying image of perfection An undeniable new ploy To feed the narcissistic Wash the paint Remove all of you that creates, and go ‘Till there’s all just skin to the bone Feel the same, with a common name These cloaks presented just to Help remove the shame Presently, wrecked society Mimics the figure of the Righteous royalty Mold unconscious minds Reflections shattered, left behind To toe the line Is this what’s left, is there no more? To define the constant scorn Create a process picking out the weakness To set the limits And deny the individual To find the right Identity, no need to fight Betrayed these gowns are what’s left of the array Mold unconscious minds Reflections shattered, left behind To toe the line Is this what’s left, is there no more? To define the constant scorn Save the goddess we crave Perpetual slaves And feel ourselves pray Until we can break away (Be free To fill the page Express your rage And Clio will lead the way) Mold unconscious minds Reflections shattered, left behind To toe the line Is this what’s left, is there no more? To define the constant scorn

First there was one, just a flare A light passing by They’ve grown to convene as an army Awaiting my cry Past my intentions New sights are far beyond the fold Calm breathing deeper Waiting to surge Restless waters a tide just waiting to turn Swept asunder Rising numbers heal societal burn Grasping blind Gracing the world with my thoughts And divinity My disposition will lend to A new history Poised with conviction Born, bred and build to take this on Feed my addiction Waiting to purge Restless waters a tide just waiting to turn Swept asunder Rising numbers heal societal burn Grasping blind Falling faster we rip each thread at the seams Cut to pieces Black clouds will form surround the regime One last time Tame expression hides my rage Forced deceit a weakness to your game Restless waters a tide just waiting to turn Swept asunder Rising numbers heal societal burn Grasping blind Falling faster we rip each thread at the seams Cut to pieces Black clouds will form surround the regime One last time

Oblivion 04:19
The fuel is burning as The fighters emerge To find their grasp holding stronger But not quite so firm Few battles won but The war is not over It’s time for us to strike and Take what we’ve earned Questions need answers I can’t let this wait anymore My eyes my clear to find What I’m looking for A stormy future from A dark grisly past We’re losing sight on the verge of The sweet taste unknown The net has fallen where The spikes creep up closer Where must I draw the line To break through the flow Must I die? To be a martyr a savior And stop this behavior End my life And leave my followers fighting A storm re-igniting Questions need answers I can’t let this wait anymore My eyes my clear to find What I’m looking for Solutions brewing A path of totality Sequester fear providing A silent relief Hiding a face ill take to my grave Shining lifeless eyes Clio will die now facing the waves Cassandra will rise Lights fade back into the dark Ceding my innocence to reignite the spark Now my place is watching from afar Facing oblivion following my star Questions need answers I can’t let this wait anymore My eyes my clear to find What I’m looking for

Clio 01:33
In my tearing eyes Shines a spark of love prolonged A binding knot we held so strong She freed our prisoned dreams The crowning sacrifice she made To change the winds and clear the haze I won’t sleep tonight If I dare not shout the name Of whom we bury here today: Cassandra
