As the Dark Against My

The Crüxshadows( Cruxshadows ) As the Dark Against My Lyrics
1.Quicksilver

I should be ashamed for what you've done to me
It's only happened because I let it be
But no more

You are not wrong, you who believe
Your will defines your destiny
But if you act in selfish fear
Then truth means nothing

You are not wrong if you perceive
The message veiled in mystery
But if we bury what we dream
We're left with what remains

There is no vision that we surrender
Breathless time can take no prisoners
My avatar, I call you to return
And the cycle is fulfilled

I'm taking back my love, taking back my pride,
Taking back my dreams, and my life
This is the ground I will defend
A rage of angels bears the end

I'm taking back my hope, taking back my goals,
Taking back my memories, and my soul
This brand is forged to my crusade
Quicksilver, the future belongs to the brave

You are not wrong if you believe
Perception works its alchemy
And I become the phoenix once again
Transforming destiny

We brace before the fates descending
With resolution never ending
As Nike stands, her shield before me,
Sophia guide my hand

There is no wisdom that we surrender
Breathless time can take no prisoners
My avatar, I call you to return
And the cycle is fulfilled

I feel the wishfire burning cold
Black wings to fill the sky unfold
And nothing takes from God his storm
See the angels' eyes transform


2.Valkyrie

The Definition of truth
is lost in the telling
objectively cold
to an unwilling tide
so who are you now?
were you wounded by living?
have you buried perspective
screaming inside?
I see the choosers of the fallen
I see the promises they bind

Pre-Chorus:
God knows that I am fighting still
each step defining who I am
God knows that fate is armed with arrows
and she watches the battle field

Chorus:
And if I fall give me the strength
to rise unbroken
and where I stand
the courage and will to fight
that when I dream
these eyes discern my purpose and believe
that should I die
self sacrifice becomes this victory

There's a fragment of me
in the word I'm giving
A doorway is opened
if you listen to long

So who have you dreamed?
with the power of being?
Do you like who you are?
Do you like what you've done?
Valkyrie

Pre-Chorus:
God knows that I am fighting still
each step defining who I am
God knows that fate is armed with arrows
and she watches the battle field

Chorus:2X
And if I fall give me the strength
to rise unbroken
and where I stand
the courage and will to fight
that when I dream
these eyes discern my purpose and believe
that should I die
self sacrifice becomes this victory


3.Halo

A broken prayer for inspiration
God be with me on this day
So much fear I try to hide it
But now I'm not afraid

(Bridge):
When all is lost
And hope a ghost
There is no where left turn
Release the light
A Nova bright
Below the halo burns

(Chorus 1):
We won't sit down
We won't shut up
We won't go quietly away
We won't accept
we won't pretend
That we are less than fearless
The truth will find the deepest mark
No matter who you think you are
As the dark against my halo
No uncertainty
A ring of light still burning in me

I face the crowd the curtains down
I see the jackals all around
I know they came to watch me fall
The end will come (but not today)

(Bridge)

(Chorus 2):
We won't give up
We won't give in
We won't be taken down this way
We won't accept
We won't pretend
That we are less than fearless
The truth will find the deepest mark
No matter who you think you are
As the dark against my halo
No uncertainty
A ring of light surviving in me

(Chorus 1)
(Chorus 2)

I see my halo
We are..
I see my halo
We are stronger now.


4.Sleepless

La la-la la la la-la-la
La la-la la la la-la-la

A secret action to create
Like children sing my dreams awake
So little light
Becomes the sun

Without remorse, the wicked gain
The line uncrossed does not remain
But what I give
They will not take away

We are blind
Out in the cold
We are the dreams that keep you up at night
We are the noise
Out of control
That won't let you rest when you're sleepless
We are the light
Out in the cold
We are the dreams that keep you up at night
We are the noise
Out of control
That won't let you rest when you're sleepless

La la-la la la la-la-la
La la-la la la la-la-la

Our perception doesn't bend
As poetry whose words within survive
A vision carried on

Seize the silence, fears collapse
And generate the questions asked
Ideas like bullets
Infect the mind with thought

We are the lies
Out in the cold
We are the dreams that keep you up at night
We are the noise
Out of control
That won't let you rest when you're sleepless
We are the light
Out in the cold
We are the dreams that keep you up at night
We are the noise
Out of control
That won't let you rest when you're sleepless

La la-la la la la-la-la
La la-la la la la-la-la

You change the way
Tomorrow seize the world

We are the lies
Out in the cold
We are the dreams that keep you up at night
We are the noise
Out of control
That won't let you rest when you're sleepless
We are the light
Out in the cold
We are the dreams that keep you up at night
We are the noise
Out of control
That won't let you rest when you're sleepless

We are the noise
We are the sun
We are your dreams
We are the noise
We are the sun
We are your dreams
We are the noise

We are the light
Out in the cold
We are the dreams that keep you up at night
(We are the noise)
We are the noise
(We are the sun)
Out of control
(We are your dreams)
That won't let you rest when you're sleepless

We are the noise


5.Burning

Shivering, shimmering
Shivering, shimmering cold
See our beloved dream
Waking helpless
As trust gives way to shame

While you were out they sold our sovereignty
And canceled our tomorrows just to justify the change

And you don't have to close your eyes to see
The darkness all around
You don't have to close your eyes to feel
The world turned upside down

In every dream I've ever dreamt
I burn for you
In every promise that I kept
I burn for you
With every word I've ever said
I burn for you
Until there's nothing left
I burn for you

The beacon ignited
A halo in the dark
You wander forgotten
But I know who you are

And nothing else matters if you only hear these words
I still believe in you

And you don't have to close your eyes to see
The darkness all around
You don't have to close your eyes to feel
The world turned upside down

In every dream I've ever dreamt
I burn for you
In every promise that I kept
I burn for you
With every word I've ever said
I burn for you
Until there's nothing left
I burn for you

The fury confines
The program becomes
The fear it created cannot be undone
The singular real
In choices you make
The conflicted purpose directing the fate

In every dream I've ever dreamt
I burn for you
In every promise that I kept
I burn for you
With every word I've ever said
I burn for you
Until there's nothing left
I burn for you

All that we dream
Gives purpose to reality
Mathematics underneath the gears of deity
All I perceive
Existing in uncertainty
My life becomes the energy
To fuel these burning wings

In every dream I've ever dreamt
I burn for you
In every promise that I kept
I burn for you
With every word I've ever said
I burn for you
Until there's nothing left
I burn for you


6.Indivisible

Cold, unmoving
Frozen in place
Is this the way the future falls
Still breathing, still thinking
Perspective displaced
It's just like feeling nothing at all

And scratching the surface, I'm digging to see
If there's anything behind these eyes
A concept to guide us, each day we decide
Do we stay and fight
For what we know is right

There's a calling, the angels
Hanging lights in the sky
Take a hard look around you
Become a hero inside

You're not alone
Together we're unstoppable, unbeatable
(You're not alone)
You're not alone in this
And I will always be with you
You're not alone
(You're not alone)
Together we're unstoppable, unbeatable
(You're not alone)
You're not alone, my love
We are united, indivisible

And call it courage, overcoming the fear
To conquer first the demons inside
That when the madness descends on our dreams
We have the strength to keep them alive

The purpose of one becomes the purpose of all
A phalanx made from what we believe
A ghost or an angel, a wish or a prayer
Just open your eyes, your heart, your mind
And breathe

There's a calling, the angels
Hanging lights in the sky
Take a hard look around you
Become a hero inside

You're not alone
Together we're unstoppable, unbeatable
(You're not alone)
You're not alone in this
And I will always be with you
You're not alone
(You're not alone)
Together we're unstoppable, unbeatable
(You're not alone)
You're not alone, my love
We are united, indivisible

Not alone
I walk through the valley in the shadow of death
I'm not alone

I walk through the valley in the shadow of death
(You're not alone)
I walk through the valley in the shadow of death
(You're not alone)
I walk through the valley in the shadow of death
(You're not alone)
But I don't fear

You're not alone

There's a calling, the angels
Hanging lights in the sky
Take a hard look around
Become a hero inside

You're not alone
Together we're unstoppable, unbeatable
You're not alone in this
And I will always be with you
You're not alone
Together we're unstoppable, unbeatable
You're not alone, my love
We are united, indivisible
You're not alone
Together we're unstoppable, unbeatable
You're not alone in this
And I will always be with you
You're not alone
Together we're unstoppable, unbeatable
You're not alone, my love
We are united, indivisible


7.Porcelain

How fragile it resonates against my shoulder
Fragments of ourselves we reconceive
Perfection's kiss I see so clearly now
Shimmering her eyes, like porcelain

And what do I need to do to hold this feeling
Like magic that repairs a broken heart
Tell me, what do I need to do to keep this moment
Vulnerable and pale, she stole my heart

And everything I do in the end I'll give to you
I won't take a single breath for granted
Everything I do in the end I'll give to you
I won't take a single second with you for granted

Yesterday I looked beneath the madness
And here today I find you in my arms

What do I need to do to hold this feeling
Like magic that repairs a broken heart
Tell me, what do I need to do to keep this moment
Shivering and pale, she claimed my heart

And everything I do in the end I'll give to you
I won't take a single breath for granted
Everything I do in the end I'll give to you
I won't take a single second with you for granted

She watches with her eyes in distant wonder
A world of possibilities within
Wanting that part of happiness surrounding her
Delicate she smiles, my porcelain

What do I need to do to hold this feeling
Like magic that repairs a broken heart
Tell me, what do I need to do to keep this moment
Shivering and pale, she claimed my heart

And everything I do in the end I'll give to you
I won't take a single breath for granted
And everything I do in the end I'll give to you
I won't take a single second with you for granted


8.Angelus Everlasting

So why does it happen
It disintegrates with time
Thermodynamics is tragically defined
With entropy's arrow the elegance concealed
Life and experience becoming so much less than real

In love everlasting hold tightly to the spark
Though the darkness surrounds you remember who you are
I found it here always and I hope you find it too
In love everlasting the angels will bring it back to you

A song of perception to navigate your way
Hold precious each moment before it slips away
No concessions to sorrow there's power in your dreams
Your life is a gift filled with infinite possibilities

In love everlasting the sentience in the spark
In the end all that matters follows who you are
I found it here always and I hope you'll find it too
In love everlasting the angels are calling back to you

Both in science and history we express what we we know
But it's a guess, I confess, educated at best,
And the truth is tomorrow you must first undergo
You cannot claim godhood to know the unknown
In the central definition that no other can see
Right and wrong separated by a few degrees
So your knowledge is strength but it's not absolute
You must open your mind to the beautiful truth

In love everlasting hold tightly to the spark
Though the darkness surrounds you remember who you are
I found it here always and I hope you find it too
In love everlasting the angels are standing next to you

In love everlasting hold tightly to the spark
Though the darkness is all around you remember who you are
I found it here always and I hope you'll find it too
In love everlasting the angels will bring this back to you

In love everlasting the sentience in the spark
In the end all that matters believes in who you are
I found it here always and I hope you know it's true
In love everlasting the angels are singing back to you

12.And I Believe

The world is forever changing,
Evolving, and growing.
Everything we know
Everything we love
Everything we believe in
Will change

Living is changing
Momentarily, everything will be re-imagined

10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
Begin

The shattered heart
Inside of me
Rising from
The deepest dream
Spoken thoughts
That plant the seeds
I hear the voice

And I believe (x10)

The lovers kiss
Is born to feed
Perfect to eternity
Life allows
And all will be
I hear the truth

And I believe (x11)


13.The Infinite Tear

She whispers her apologies
Her eyes shining stars in the sky
Then turning like mist, she's gone again
I don't understand why

And now that it's broken and the last facade is burned
How do I find my balance when the Earth won't turn

You can try to deny it
What a dreamer like me might feel
You can say it's all in my head
But I know that it's real

I don't remember the words that we said
All I can focus on is the infinite death that divides us now
instead
I don't remember the words that we said
All I can think about is the infinite death that divides us here
instead

And now that it's broken and the last facade is burned
How do I find my balance when the Earth won't turn

I don't remember the words that we said
All I can focus on is the infinite death that divides us now
instead
I don't remember the words that we said
All I can think about is the infinite death that divides us here
instead
I don't remember the words that we said
All I can think about is the infinite death that divides us here
instead
