Hear the beat Let it soothe you, let it heal you Hear the music Let it help you, let it guide you Hear me, hear you, hear them sing Hear the beat, hear the passion Truly hear the music within every song

I. Beginnings In the morning, the birds are chirping And the sunbeams shine through the trees Out you step through your front door And stretch out your tense shoulders Every morning that distant forest catches your eye Always leaving you wondering what lies within And today is the day you finally mustered up the courage To go and explore mother nature’s home Enter now, you are within the forest realm Surrounded by fireflies, beneath surrendered skies There are no paths, just only the trees and the leaves to guide you And up ahead, it seems there’s an opening! II. The Sword There lies the sword I’ve only heard of in legends Quiet, lone and cold Only with the call of the birds and the life of the forest to keep it company Waiting for the day it’s pulled from its slumber once more If it’s pulled, will it be used to draw blood? Or as a decoration? Of course, that’s not for me to decide Until only then, when the chosen one comes in It’s just another element of the times But something inside me tells me I should approach it And drive it out from its sleep, to be it’s wielder! To be the one who uses it to drive away the monsters in the night So I walk up, wrap my fingers around the hilt, and pull with all my might III. Awakening of Reason Sound and light blast through the air And still the animals pass by, without a care But with my hand laid upon the sword The power raging through me, makes me feel as though I could soar I feel as though I’ve had an awakening of reason A purpose as to why I should be here And a voice called to me “you are the chosen knight! So fly away to be the one who saves those in fright!” I’m shocked by my newly found purpose I never thought I could behold the spirits of the old But now I guess I must serve my duty And protect those in need of help most IV. The Future Awaits Leave now, you have discovered your purpose, do you feel better now? But don’t let that put your adventurous spirit to rest Just let it fuel your fire, so you can do your best Why don’t you get on home now, and get some sleep to prepare for your first test

Grey dawn, a sorry sight For most people, they'd rather wish for night But not me When I look up at the trees, turning red and orange It makes me feel a way, I can't explain The way the sky speaks to me when it's pale and calm Puts me at an ease I could stare at all day The way it looks to me, when I see it through the window It's almost like I can hear it saying something to me Whispers of Grey Whispers of Grey Whispers of Grey

Off in the distance The glow of a crumbling star fades Once a planet of life Now a forgotten tale of old And in the lonely darkness The remnants of maldek reside Day by day, farther it drifts away A particle of dust it’ll be soon The fingerprints of god lost forever, we’ll never know the truth And in the lonely darkness The remnants of maldek reside

I closed my eyes and opened them again, to see if I was dreaming Just to see that I’m floating in a white haze I called out for help, but I had no voice to be heard I was scared, trying to grasp the absurd, until I heard those words… “There are no walls, no floor, no ceiling, no feeling Just a numbness, and no forgiveness for your wrongdoing No sympathy for how you feel, you’re here to be judged Cause you won’t let go of your clutch To the regret of your choice to end that strangers life On that fateful night at the pharmacy You prayed for god’s forgiveness, but received no answer Well I’m here to tell you now son, welcome to your own personal hell Welcome, to the isle of nothing” I remember now why and how I got here The needle I stole is still on my nightstand, the gun beside it God… let me out!!!
