Story Of The Year The Constant Lyrics
1.The Children Sing

Don't take this world away from me
Don't take this
Don't take this world away from me
Don't take the world away ..


The future decides the roles we play
And struggles to sell the past away
The afterthought is staring back on better days
Cause or daughters and sons will live to pay
For every mistake that we have made
For every conviction we've betrayed
So let the children sing

Don't take this
Don't take this world away from me
Don't take this world away from me

So are we condemned to waste away
An answer that on time portrays
A question we'll ask ourselves from here to eternity
And will it be worth the price they'll pay
For living their lives in our remains
So how do you think we will explain
When the children sing

Don't take this
Don't take the world away from me
Don't take the world away from me
Can we find a way
To face today
With an eye on the things to come
Cause mistakes we've made
Bring our decay
And our chance to make a difference will be gone


So this is the price they'll pay
For living in our remains
Just listen as the children sing
Don't take this
Don't take the world away
Don't take this
Don't take this world away from me
Don't take this world away from me
Whoaa Whoaa Whoa oh
Whoaa Whoaa Whoa oh


2.The Ghost Of You and I

Story Of The Year
The Ghost Of You And I


You'll find in time
The brightest flame will slowly die
And bear the darkest night
To rise
When everything that's meant to shine
Burns out before you eyes

Tonight
We're longing for daylight
Burning the same lie
To find the ghost of you and I
We're running from midnight
Dying to ignite
To find the ghost of you and I

Tonight
The fire that we hold inside
That once would burn so bright
Was denied and buried by a thousand eyes
That fight to keep you blind

Tonight
We're longing for daylight
Burning the same lie
To find the ghost of you and I
We're running for midnight
Dying to ignite
To find the ghost of you and I
To find the ghost of you and I
To find the ghost of you and I!

This was the day I feared the most
When all that's left inside is a memory and the ghost
Of everything we know

Yeah the memory of everything we know
And I already know

Tonight
We're longing for daylight
Burning the same lie
To find the ghost of you and I
We're longing for daylight
Burning the same lie
To find the ghost of you and I
We're running for midnight
Dying to ignite
To find the ghost of you and I
To find the ghost of you and I
To find the ghost of you and I!


3.I'm Alive

In the night I sit alone
Lifeless to the world I know
Faith loss long ago
In this graveyard I'm calling home
Carved into the stone
A diary of broken bones and
Words I should've known

But this grave's too deep to ever make it up
I'd do anything, anything
Just to feel like I could reach the ground
I'd do anything ,anything now
To spread these wings somehow
I scream these words so loud
But they never make a sound

I'm alive
But I'm barely breathing now
So place my heart under the ground
Lay me down

I'm alive
But I'm barely breathing now
So tread my lungs into the ground
Lay me down

In the night I sit alone
The stars rain on the world below
Beg me to explode
'Cuz these dreams I keep are nowhere to be found
I'd do anything, anything just to stop
This way from pressing down
I'd do anything anything now
To spread these wings somehow
I scream these words so loud
But they never make a sound

I'm alive
But I'm barely breathing now
So place my heart under the ground
Lay me down

I'm alive
But I'm barely breathing now
So tread my lungs into the ground
Lay me down
Deep enough so that I'll never feel again
From beneath and in chance in breaking scale
I'm giving in
All the promise of smiles and happiness
That's a dream I'm not willing to admit
I'm not ready yet
To face regret
No I'm not ready yet
I'm not ready yet
No...
No...
No...

I'd do anything now
So spread these wings somehow
I scream these words so loud
But they never make a sound

I'm alive
But I'm barely breathing now
So place my heart under the ground
Lay me down

I'm alive
But I'm barely breathing now
Tread my lungs into the ground
Lay me down


4.To The Burial

Bleed us, bleed us
For their capital
Lead us, lead us
To the Burial
Bleed us, bleed us
For their capital
Lead us, lead us
To the Burial
Yeah?
Yeah,
Step aside and watch the lions roar as they rule
With an iron fist and promise floor's left to play
Epidemic spread across the floor
Just let me introduce you
To who's behind that door
A smiling face
With style and grace
I'll show you to the fire
Bleed us, bleed us
For their capital
Lead us, lead us
To the Burial
They built their reign of power to man
And affect your lives on a ship
On the records of the foreign shores as they can
Practice falling and leave the people poor
This is the kind of system
We've been slaving for
Eventually,
That ship will be,
Invited to the slaughter
Bleed us, bleed us
For their capital
Lead us, lead us
To the Burial
That stone bleeds admiration
Backhands and eulogy
In the face of devastation
Gladly they'll sing our praise
For a life of slaving and digging our own graves
Now just let the usher show you to the final resting place
Yeah, what a disgrace
We are?
Now!
Just learn to breath
And you will see
Your life is what you make it
Bleed us, bleed us
For their capital
Lead us, lead us
To the Burial
Bleed us, bleed us
For their capital
Lead us, lead us
To the Burial
Oh!


5.The Dream Is Over

Let this dagger bury deep
Cause I'm not afraid to bleed
Through all the spaces in between
Never meant anything
Cause i gave everything i had
To build a promise land
A place where proudly i could stand
This castle made of sand
Is slipping through my hands
The dream is over now
Our hearts have been misguided
Lost somehow
The dream is over now
Our fate has been decided
It's all been lost somehow
It's over now
Is this a blessing or a curse
A message well rehearsed
A means to justify the end
Of what we could've been
Bury every word i've said in the city of the dead
And drown this masterpiece in red
The color in my head
This tired skin ill shed
The dream is over now
Our hearts have been misguided
Lost somehow
The dream is over now
Our fate has been decided
It's all been lost somehow
Lost somehow
The waters rushing in
We're fighting over the remains
Of a sea too crowded to repair
We're dying to defend
A feeling that has lost its way
Cause our dreams no longer there
Yeah!
The dream is over now
Our hearts have been misguided
Lost somehow
The dream is over now
Our fate has been decided
It's all been lost somehow
It's over now (it's over now)
It's over now (it's over now)
Yeah it's over now
Our fate has been decided
It's all been lost somehow
lost somehow
yeah it's over now


6.Remember A Time

Can we open the pages
To remember a time
When the images focused
And the planets were aligned
All the stars up above us
Let us travel through time
They erase all the distance
Separating you and I
Now this glass will get me through the night
As the storm blows over
I know ill be all right
It's no surprise
That the feeling has changed
And the years have slipped away
Through the hands of time
Open your eyes
Cause that promise we made
That our light would never fade
It'll never die
In the light of the morning
In the dark of the night
We were balancing moments
On the thin edge of a knife
Can we dig up forgiveness
Will we bury the lies
Can we fill all the voids left by the hardest of goodbyes
It's no surprise
That the feeling has changed
And the years have slipped away
Through the hands of time
Open your eyes
Cause that promise we made
That our light would never fade
Will never die
Never die
There was a time when we felt light years away
Some how we never let hope or our pictures fade
There was a night when we let go of our fears
Some how we never disappeared
It's no surprise
That the feeling has changed
And the years have slipped away
Through the hands of time
Open your eyes
Cause that promise we made
That our light would never fade
It'll never die
It's no surprise that we all have changed
And the years have slipped away
Through the hands of time
Open your eyes
Cause that promise we made
That our light would never fade
And will never die
Never die


7.Holding On To You

Another year is gone so fast
Another life becomes the past
Under the weight of dreams
That I never thought would last
Feelings clash
And set a light across the globe
This window seat becomes my home
I lie awake for hours
Staring at the world below

Into the ways again I go
Holding on to you
I found a way to make it through
By holding on to you

Another night has slipped away
Wishing the time would let me stay
Stuck in between two lives
That could never be the same
I remain without a chance
To say to you that every word I said was true
I lie awake all night just staring back at you

Into the ways again I go
Holding on to you
I found a way to make it through
Holding on to you

Just one more day will make it through
Will you still feel the same way that I do?
That I do ?

Noo
You feel the same way I do
Holding on to you
Noo

Into the ways again I go
Holding on to you
I found a way to make it through
Holding on to you
Into the ways again I go
Holding on to you
I found a way to make it through
So I'm holding on to you
Just one more day will make it through
Will make it through


8.Won Threw Ate

blood still pours down onto the page
pride falls rattle we betrayed
drowning in a flood of inequality
false sell the true meaning of love
chests swell warning from above
is this the kind of balance we've been dreaming of
and now we've had enough
yeah
cause so far there's no such thing
that is true equality
until a new design comes to set us free
we all we all we'll
bleed
our voice
silence writes this song
her choice gone and in control
hoping that someday she'll learn to play her role
no control
no control
write to speak i will be the next one to go
just watch it as i fold
yeah
cause so far there's no such thing
that is true equality
until a new design comes to set us free
we all will bleed
ignorance a new disease
prideful insecurities
fighting to believe
so disregard the suffering
just let the sounds of freedom ring
through this air we breathe
all wars are created equal
all wars are created equal
yeah we will find the answer now with one more train of hope
yeah!
yeah!
cause so far there's no such thing
that is true equality
until a new design comes to set us free
we all, we all, all will bleed
we'll bleed


9.Ten Years Down

ten years down
destiny foretold
senses drown
dreams are wide and gold
increase my mind
beginning to be sold
sacred ties have never felt so cold
but the introduction never had a name
and all the answers to my questions never came
but i found my reason to shed my skin
and i'll never say those words again
cause i beg for mercy and i cry my sins
but i'll never say those words again
never again
ten years found
treasure i could hold
embrace the crown his broken wings unfold
words divide connected to the soul
burning inside this disenchanted world
but the introduction never had a name
and all the answers to my questions never came
but i found my reason to shed my skin
and i'll never say those words again
cause i beg for mercy and i cry my sins
but i'll never say those words again
never again
never again
never again will i be the one to hang on every word you say
and i'll never feel the same i'll never feel this way
cause the introduction never had a name
and all the answers to my questions never came (they never came)
they never came
but i found my reason to shed my skin
and i'll never say those words again
cause i beg for mercy and i cry my sins
but i'll never say those words again
but i found my reason to shed my skin
and i'll never say those words again
cause i beg for mercy and i cry my sins
but i'll never say those words again
those words again
never again
never again


10.Time Goes On

A cloud will rise, the sky will fall
A flash of lights will bury us all
(cause we are a time bomb)
The flashes rain and hide the sun
All that remains is what we've done
(cause we are a time bomb)
We're waiting as time goes on and on,
and on, and on
Underneath the sky we'll rise and fall
Till the weight of life is gone
Underneath it all dies to go on and on,
and on, and on
A new empire to wear the crown
A new desire will carry us down
(cause we are a time bomb)
A life destroyed, a culture lost
A little boy will measure their cost
(cause we are a time bomb)
We're waiting as time goes on and on,
and on, and on
Underneath the sky we'll rise and fall
Till the weight of life is gone
Underneath is all dies to go on and on,
and on, and on, and on
And time goes on
As time goes on
And time goes on
Yeah
Now lives will be drawn
In the fatal memory of,
The lives come and go,
Time still goes on,
A new day will dawn,
and die beneath the sun,
for life times to come -
Time carries on!
Underneath the sky we'll rise and fall
Till the weight of life is gone
Underneath it all dies to go on and on,
and on, and on and on
on and on and on and on -
on and on and on and on -
and the time goes on
yeah time goes on


11.Eye For An Eye

in my eyes
watch the world ignite
watch as we give everything to just be alive
with the fire in our hearts
we'll stand and fight
for the dream inside
take it back force way of minds
loss of living combines
it's more than words to read
this is our life
eye for an eye bring your heart to the fight
cause we'll take the whole world down with us tonight
eye for an eye leave your weakness behind
burn down the lies
eye for an eye
'til we die
let the hearts unite

it's our pride
just a passion that we hold inside
now the world is mine
hold it down for the ? 'til the day i die
cause this is more than blood we bleed
this is our life
eye for an eye and bring your heart to the fight
cause we'll take the whole world down with us tonight
eye for an eye leave your weakness behind
burn down the lies
eye for an eye
eye for an eye
eye for an eye
