1.Alarm The Alarm

If I'm the first to go, then make it quick (then make it quick)
We're so young, so naive.
If I'm the first to go, then make it quick.
We're so young, we're so young, so naive.

It's all for nothing, nothing at all
Liars can't be martyrs, don't you know.
Let me give it to you plain and simple,
You walk a fine line, you walk a fine line.
You speak of truth, you speak of progress,
Well I'll believe it when I see it for myself.
Let me spell it out a little more clearly,
You walk a fine line, you walk a fine line.

Can't you see the irony, in what you do to me?
You get so close, so close,
And make me feel so terribly alone.
Can't you see the irony, in what you do to me?
You get so close, so close,
And make me feel so terribly alone.

If I'm the first to go, then make it quick (then make it quick)
We're so young, so naive.
If I'm the first to go, then make it quick.
We're so young, we're so young, so naive.

It's safe to say that we're heading to the crossroads.
We are the galleries of the centuries.
If you knew the truth, it really would've killed you.
If you knew the truth, if you only knew.
We've been caught up in the moment,
And our beds are crowded where we sleep.
I hate to say it but we're never making progress.
I hate to say it, I hate to say it.

Can't you see the irony, in what you do to me?
You get so close, so close,
And make me feel so terribly alone.
Can't you see the irony, in what you do to me?
You get so close, so close,
And make me feel so terribly alone.

There's no other name by which I am saved,
I will not be afraid to trust in you.
There's no other name by which I am saved,
I will not be afraid to trust in you.

This is a race to a lost cause.
This is a race to a lost cause.
This is a race to the skies.
This is a race to the skies.


2.Despite Your Valor

Try to breathe, smile as we make our peace,
Make our peace with God, Himself.
Smile as we make our peace. As we...
As we swiped the guardrail we said our prayers,
As we lost our focus, we're nearly there.
So take my hand now, don't be shy,
I know you've done this before.

As we swiped the guardrail we said our prayers,
As we swiped the guardrail we said our prayers.
Despite your valor, I'd say you're losing control,
No, nothing is impossible (you look so innocent asleep, you
can't do anything to me).
Despite your valor, I'd say you're falling apart,
Just wait, this is your favorite part (you look so innocent
asleep, you can't do anything to me).
Burning halos like crosses, don't you dare cross us.

Try to speak, tremble as we set you free,
Set you free from life itself,
Tremble as we set you free. As we...
I can tear the guilt out of every sin,
Let me hold the door as you stumble in.
So take my hand now, don't be shy.
I know you've done this before.
As we swiped the guardrail we said our prayers,
As we swiped the guardrail we said our prayers.

Despite your valor, I'd say you're losing control,
No, nothing is impossible (you look so innocent asleep, you
can't do anything to me).
Despite your valor, I'd say you're falling apart,
Just wait, this is your favorite part (you look so innocent
asleep, you can't do anything to me).
Burning halos like crosses, don't you dare cross us.

I warned you...I warned you...
As we swiped the guardrail we said our prayers,
As we swiped the guardrail we said our prayers.
Despite your valor, I'd say you're losing control,
No, nothing is impossible (you look so innocent asleep, you
can't do anything to me).
Despite your valor, I'd say you're falling apart,
Just wait, this is your favorite part (you look so innocent
asleep, you can't do anything to me).
Burning halos like crosses, don't you dare cross us


3.Renegade

We are renegades, we shoot to kill,
We shoot to kill, we shoot...
There's no stopping us, no holding us back.
This is the trick of our trade,
this is exactly what we do best.
It's just a matter of time, it's just a matter of time,
What goes around, comes around.
It's just a matter of time, it's just a matter of time,
What goes around, comes around.

We are renegades, we shoot to kill,
We shoot to kill, we shoot...
There's no stopping us, no holding us back.
This is the trick of our trade,
this is exactly what we do best.
We are renegades, we shoot to kill,
We shoot to kill, we shoot...
There's no stopping us, no holding us back.
This is the trick of our trade,
this is exactly what we do best.

Move as fast as you can, move as fast as you can,
Outrun, outrun what you've become.
Move as fast as you can, move as fast as you can,
Outrun, outrun what you've become.

Forgiveness, sweet forgiveness,
you know I won't forget this one.
Wait patiently til morning comes.
My God, my God, what have I done?
Forgiveness, sweet forgiveness,
you know I won't forget this one.
Wait patiently til morning comes.
My God, my God, what have I done?

We drew these lines to cross them.
We knew exactly what to do.
We broke our own defenses.
Hold fast, hold fast.

We drew these lines to cross them.
We knew exactly what to do.
We broke our own defenses.
Hold fast, hold fast.

4.Hand Grenades

I'm handing over my transgressions,
My deep and dark confessions.
I'm telling you the truth,
for the first time it's the truth.
And I'm well aware of consequences,
Don't give me second chances,
Do what you gotta do, do what you gotta do.

You shouldn't test me.
You caught me paying attention,
I finally figured it out.
And when your head's full,
And it's not easy to sleep,
You'll feel that heavy chill,
strike you like a stone in your bed.

I'm taking all the sins I carry,
To a hidden sanctuary,
Down a spiraling cascade, through a spiraling cascade.
And when you walk through all the fences,
To every house you lived in,
You fall asleep alone, you fall asleep alone.

You shouldn't test me.
You caught me paying attention,
I finally figured it out.
And when your head's full,
And it's not easy to sleep,
You'll feel that heavy chill,
strike you like a stone in your bed.
It's only natural to get ahead of ourselves.
We fight with hand grenades,
because we've got nothing left.
I am a champion, survival lives in my blood.
You speak of treachery,
like you've got nothing to love.

You caught me paying attention,
Well I finally figured it out.
You need to be more impressive...
I can tell by the way that you're shaking,
You've seen this before,
and you can't wait til it's over.
While you're scared to death,
I can offer you wisdom,

Baby, we're growing up,
and we're still building character.
I can tell by the way that you're shaking,
You've seen this before,
and you can't wait til it's over.
While you're scared to death,
I can offer you wisdom,
Baby, we're growing up,
and we're still building character.


5.I Never Said That I Was Through With You

You've got the power, I'm well aware of all your plans,
To make me, to break me.
Don't speak with caution, tell me everything you want in me.
I'm waiting, I'm waiting.

You can call me a sinner,
You can call me a lover,
You can call me whatever makes you...

Confident (you're gonna learn you're lesson),
But powerless (you better pay attention).
Your bravery (you thought that this was over),
Is at your expense (I never said that I was through with you).

You've got the secrets that always keep me up at night,
Distracted, distracted.
Retract the claws that you've embedded into jealousy.
It's vicious, so tasteless.

You can call me a sinner,
You can call me a lover,
You can call me whatever makes you...

Confident (you're gonna learn you're lesson),
But powerless (you better pay attention).
Your bravery (you thought that this was over),
Is at your expense (I never said that I was through with you).

Confident (you're gonna learn you're lesson),
But powerless (you better pay attention).
Your bravery (you thought that this was over),
Is at your expense (I never said that I was through with you).

Where are those principles?
Those concrete thoughts that make you still believe.
Don't make things difficult.
It's in there somewhere, it's in there somewhere.

Confident (you're gonna learn you're lesson),
But powerless (you better pay attention).
Your bravery (you thought that this was over),
Is at your expense (I never said that I was through with you).

Confident (you're gonna learn you're lesson),
But powerless (you better pay attention).
Your bravery (you thought that this was over),
Is at your expense (I never said that I was through with you).


6.Center Of Attention

Missed out on all the simple concepts,
Like how to listen to your conscience.
Now you making up for the fact that
All your talent, is missing something again.

I could be your center of attention,
But I bet my chances are slim.
Everybody's giving up (everybody's giving up),
One word could end it all.
I could be your savior in a second,
But I bet my chances are slim.
Everybody's giving up (everybody's giving up),
Sweet Jesus carry me.

Broke down to curb sides and bar stools,
You can spin it anyway you want to.
But you're making up for the fact that
All your talent, is missing something again.

I could be your center of attention,
But I bet my chances are slim.
Everybody's giving up (everybody's giving up),
One word could end it all.
I could be your savior in a second,
But I bet my chances are slim.
Everybody's giving up (everybody's giving up),
Sweet Jesus carry me.

When the time is right, when the time is right,
I'm taking back what's mine.
When the time is right, when the time is right,
I'm taking back what's mine.
When the time is right, when the time is right,
I'm taking back what's mine.
When the time is right, when the time is right,
I'm taking back what's mine.

I could be your center of attention,
But I bet my chances are slim.
Everybody's giving up (everybody's giving up),
One word could end it all.
I could be your savior in a second,
But I bet my chances are slim.
Everybody's giving up (everybody's giving up),
Sweet Jesus carry me.

I could be your center of attention,
But I bet my chances are slim.
Everybody's giving up (everybody's giving up),
One word could end it all.
I could be your savior in a second,
But I bet my chances are slim.
Everybody's giving up (everybody's giving up),
Sweet Jesus carry me.


7.Citadel

How ferocious are we, a head full of poison,
And a pen to bleed dry, like the valley of bones.
We have gathered our sins, and soaked them in wine.
We have cheated this world,
made it out with our head on our shoulders now...

Why can't we call this even?
Why do you care that I,
Would need another reason,
To tell you lies?

Keep moving like we never had a choice,
I'm burning this citadel to the ground.
Wake up as our broken bodies collide,
If we're going down,
we're going down with a fight.
Keep moving on, keep dreaming on.

We were sly as hell, and lived like the wolves,
But our crooked smiles, have disappeared.
We have gathered our sins, and soaked them in wine.
We have cheated this world,
made it out with our head on our shoulders now...

Why can't we call this even?
Why do you care that I,
Would need another reason,
To tell you lies?

Keep moving like we never had a choice,
I'm burning this citadel to the ground.
Wake up as our broken bodies collide,
If we're going down,
we're going down with a fight.

Keep moving on, keep dreaming on.
Keep moving on, keep dreaming on.
I fall asleep with twisted dreams,
What'd you do because I just can't seem to shake this?
I fall asleep with twisted dreams,
What'd you do because I can't move on without this?
I fall asleep with twisted dreams,
What'd you do because I just can't seem to shake this?
I fall asleep with twisted dreams,
What'd you do because I can't move on without this?
Keep moving like we never had a choice,
I'm burning this citadel to the ground.
Wake up as our broken bodies collide,
If we're going down, we're going down with a fight.
Keep moving on, keep dreaming on.
Keep moving on, keep dreaming on.


8.Redemption

We've made a costly mistake tonight,
As we fed ourselves to the lion's den.
We lowered our guard and fell on our swords,
And you call this a war.
You've taken so much more than pride
(you've gotta be kidding me).
You've taken so much more than pride
(everything in time will burn).

This is do or die, look a promise in the eye,
I hope to God you're comfortable enough to live a lie.
This is do or die, look a promise in the eye,
I hope to God you're strong enough to live with compromise.

We've made a costly mistake tonight.
There's a heavy price for this treason.
So we covered our eyes and forgot our names,
And you call this a war.
You've taken so much more than pride
(you've gotta be kidding me).
You've taken so much more than pride
(everything in time will burn).

This is do or die, look a promise in the eye,
I hope to God you're comfortable enough to live a lie.
This is do or die, look a promise in the eye,
I hope to God you're strong enough to live with compromise.

What a disaster with no one at fault,
Everyone's screaming, 'God save us all'.

Come on courageous child,
You have to trust in this.
Find what you've always wanted,
You have to trust in this.
Come on courageous child,
You have to trust in this.
Find what you've always wanted,
You have to trust in this.

This is do or die, look a promise in the eye,
I hope to God you're comfortable enough to live a lie.
This is do or die, look a promise in the eye,
I hope to God you're strong enough to live with compromise.


9.We Shot The Moon

How do you plead?
I know you know everything,
I know you saw everything.
And the person that you want to be is me,
And the person that you want to be is me.

It's self determination,
And you should have noticed that by now.
Our time is running out,
And you can't believe...

We walk like dead men.
Our killer instinct,
Wrapped in a smile,
This will not end well.

We shot the moon, we shot the moon,
And we will take it in stride,
If we should lose, if we should lose,
At least we gave it a try.
We shot the moon, we shot the moon,
And we will take it in stride,
If we should lose, if we should lose,
At least we gave it a try.

How do you plead?

I know you know everything,
I know you saw everything.
By all means go and make the headlines scream,
By all means go and make the headlines scream.
You lack compassion,
You lack the things that we all need,
And much worse than it seems,
You can't believe...
We walk like dead men.
Our killer instinct,
Wrapped in a smile,
This will not end well.

We shot the moon, we shot the moon,
And we will take it in stride,
If we should lose, if we should lose,
At least we gave it a try.
We shot the moon, we shot the moon,
And we will take it in stride,
If we should lose, if we should lose,
At least we gave it a try.

And much worse than it seems,
You can't believe...
We shot the moon, we shot the moon,
And we will take it in stride,
If we should lose, if we should lose,
At least we gave it a try.
We shot the moon, we shot the moon,
And we will take it in stride,
If we should lose, if we should lose,
At least we gave it a try.


10.Kings And Counselors

There's a card up my sleeve.
It's a quicker solution and it's easier than honesty.
There's a look on your face,
Like you've just seen a murder and you're terrified beyond
belief.
You think you figured this out?

With the lights all down low,
and a stare that could chill the bone.
Like a half way house,
Empty your pockets, unload all your failures.
Walk away like nothing happened,
Whispering it's gonna make sense in the end.
It's now or never, are we ever gonna get this right?
It's now or never, are we ever gonna get this right?
Cover up those fair intentions,
After this we will never be the same again.
It's now or never, are we ever gonna get this right?
It's now or never, are we ever gonna get this right?
Take me back to the start,

We had every intention of building an empire of gold.
It's a common mistake,
We wander through side streets when all of the lights turn to
waves.
Let the nightmare begin,
Send the dogs from grave, let that orchestra creep through your
feet.
It's a little too late,
My thoughts turn to feelings like angels to demons.
Walk away like nothing happened,
Whispering it's gonna make sense in the end.
It's now or never, are we ever gonna get this right?
It's now or never, are we ever gonna get this right?
Cover up those fair intentions,
After this we will never be the same again.
It's now or never, are we ever gonna get this right?
It's now or never, are we ever gonna get this right?

Like an avalanche,
I will bring you to your knees.
And the pressure will crush your bones,
Silencing your screams.
Like an avalanche,

Silencing your screams.

It's now or never, are we ever gonna get this right?
It's now or never, are we ever gonna get this right?

What can wash away your sins?
Nothing (nothing), Nothing (nothing),
Nothing but the blood.
What can wash away your sins?
Nothing (nothing), Nothing (nothing),
Nothing but the blood.
Blood for blood, blood for blood.


11.Heaven And Hell

I can't keep my eyes open,
And you just wanna talk.
Can't this wait til the morning,
Just wait til the morning,
Where bright lights abound,
And a conquering spirit returns,
To this hollowed out cavity.

I can't keep my eyes open,
And you just wanna talk.
Can't this wait til the morning,
Just wait til the morning,
Where bright lights abound,
And a conquering spirit returns,
To this hollowed out cavity.

So hold your breath,
Hold your hands tight to your chest.
It's like heaven and hell meeting
Under your bed once again.
So hold your breath,
Hold your hands tight to your chest.
It's like heaven and hell meeting
Under your bed once again.

Where bright lights abound,
And a conquering spirit returns,
To this hollowed out cavity.
