Phoenix 04:34
From the ashes you will rise From the ashes you will rise You are Phoenix You are Phoenix You are Phoenix Halo of fire falls from the sky Burning a thousand sins, purified Freed from captivity, shake off the demons of unreason Child of fire born again Like fire from the Sun, in bursts of flames the Phoenix dies But life has only just begun, from the ashes you will rise You are Phoenix You are Phoenix You are Phoenix Another life begins sanctified Freed from a thousand sins that have died Fear no uncertainty, anxiety or unbelievers Spread wings of fire, born again Like fire from the Sun, in bursts of flames the Phoenix dies But life has only just begun, from the ashes you will rise You are Phoenix You are Phoenix You are Phoenix Like fire from the Sun, in bursts of flames the Phoenix dies But life has only just begun, from the ashes you will rise From the ashes you will rise From the ashes you will rise You are Phoenix

A consequence of technology Colliding head on into disgraced humanity Sometimes it’s wrong, sometimes it’s right Constantly torn between the Darkness and the Light Enemies raging behind my eyes Shadows caress me while whispering their lies Hell calls my name as the Heavens cry I don’t know what to do so I keep praying for the end of time See the world through eyes of coal, this sprawling wasteland of my soul A mind of darkness, heart of light. I am Onyx, black and white Save me from this paradigm, save me from the end of time
4.
Onyx 03:46
Fires rise from burning shells of what once used to be On cobalt streets temptation sparks like electricity Born of man and of machine, these two worlds hybridize Truth and lie, amplify and rage behind my eyes Agony, Wrong and right All I see, Black and white Calling me, Dark and Light Who’s the enemy? Seen by the unforeseen The pressure building in between Can someone help me choose between The Darkness and the Light
5.
Nighttime 03:22
In the nighttime It’s the right time Slipping through shadows Lights shimmer off the walls Remembering a line in time when I felt nothing at all A new hope awakened Alive on new city streets Here with you, new rendezvous, the old world is obsolete In the nighttime It’s the right time Reflection on a moment Painful to recall Sunk way down low in Tokyo, I felt like no one at all Alive on New York City streets A new hope in the night I’m here with you, we rendezvous and step into the light
6.
I Remember You A summer night The glowing light of a TV screen New York skyline The neon signs Say what they mean I Remember You A midnight train I can’t explain How much I miss you now I’d be ok If I could find a way To get back to you somehow I Remember You
7.
Astor Place 03:38
(I'll meet you down) (I'll meet you down at Astor Place) I walk these streets religiously Lights up my skin with electricity Familiar smell of leather and lace Me and you, a rendezvous You know I'll meet you down at Astor Place (Astor Place) I'll meet you down at Astor Place (I'll meet you down) I'll meet you down at Astor Place I walk these streets Me and you, a rendezvous Down at Astor Place I see the lights in close proximity It sets my skin on fire with electricity Familiar smell of leather and lace Me and you, a rendezvous You know I'll meet you down at Astor Place (I'll meet you down at Astor Place)

(You’re always less than zero) (No matter how many miles away I go) (You’re always less than zero) I never thought I would go back in time I never thought I’d need you in my life But here we are, just me and you tonight Funny how never never gets it right You never came within periphery And I was fine, yeah it was good for me Just for a time after a distant dream But now just like that, the distance don’t mean anything I tried letting go But you just let me in I tried running away But you seem to chase me down again And I can’t escape from your magnetic pull No matter how many miles away I go You’re always less than zero When things were quiet, it was easier I could forget the things that you’d infer But then the noise comes back and brings you with A chain reaction after just one hit You told me that this happens all the time The ebb and flow and then you flood my mind Couldn’t be more normal, even say it’s right But there’s still something in my dreams that haunts me every night I tried letting go But you just let me in I tried running away But you seem to chase me down again And I can’t escape from your magnetic pull No matter how many miles away I go You’re always less than zero

Limelight 03:15

Fade into this waking dream As darkness falls On our own, it’s you and me baby When the writing’s on the wall We walk in the daylight Consumed by the sprawl We know that the darkness is coming cuz the writing’s on the wall We talk in the twilight And wait for rain to fall On our own, we face what is coming cuz the writing’s on the wall Fade into this waking dream As darkness falls On our own, it’s you and me baby When the writing’s on the wall We cling to the outline of these buildings tall In New York the skyline is falling cuz the writing’s on the wall We are future bloodline We’re living once and for all We wait for the darkness that’s coming cuz the writing’s on the wall Fade into this waking dream As darkness falls On our own, it’s you and me baby When the writing’s on the wall Lost inside the Datastream Under nightfall On our own, it’s you and me baby When the writing’s on the wall (When the writing’s on the wall) (When the writing’s on the wall) (When the writing’s on the wall) (When the writing’s on the wall) Fade into this waking dream As darkness falls On our own, it’s you and me baby When the writing’s on the wall Lost inside the Datastream Under nightfall On our own, it’s you and me baby When the writing’s on the wall When the writing’s on the wall When the writing’s on the wall

Everywhere you go The city lights bleeding into the moonlight Two lost souls fading into the sprawl Afterglow and living under midnight It’s you and me, nothing else matters at all From Tokyo to New York streets On the face of the deep I’m always with you high and low Everywhere you go Through darkness and light you’ll see You know where i’ll be Everywhere you go The city lights they bleed into the distance Our minds and bodies bleeding into one And If you look back you’ll see two sets of footprints You’re next to me, you are my Aphelion
14.
Awakening 03:55
(Awakening) This place, this time Our lives are redefined Do what we can to survive Get in Hold tight Blasting straight into the night Awakening Awakening Fake out as we break out And we take down Everything that aches New place, and a new time As we define our new life And bring awakening (Awakening)
15.
A shadow cries A subway screams A future lies In monochrome dreams On lonely nights Beneath the glare On empty streets You’ll find me there New York City Nights Hidden in the lights New York City Nights Come with me tonight The sound of machines Is comforting Anonymity She welcomes me This lonely night This atmosphere This waking dream You’ll find me here
16.
Time Crime 05:14
Our crime Memories that we have left behind in time Divide Casualties of war within our minds defined Is this what we wanted? Because this is what we get When our memories are haunted There’s no way to forget Jumping time Leave memories behind Jumping time When passion is our crime Go from hiding to shining tonight Collide Tragedies buried beneath the sands of time Denied The safety of a world and the future bloodline Are our memories all haunted? When we just can’t forget And is this what we wanted? Because this is what we get
17.
Purified 06:53
You and I Sanctified In the light Purified It’s pretty clear there’s something on your mind It’s hard to wait while we’re running out of time I want to disconnect and run from all the things that bring you down so low A light shines in the darkness, Purified You and I Sanctified In the night You and I Purified In the light It’s pretty clear that things are not the same It’s hard to smile while we’re buried in our shame I want to shake the streets and all the incompletes that bring us down so low A light shining in darkness, Purified We pray for the end of time To make this go away Living life so modified Is an endless ricochet But in light we see in monochrome In light we’re justified In light we’re free from the unknown In light we’re purified, we’re purified You and I, sanctified In the light, purified
18.
(We'll fall into the divide) (We're swept under the dark tide) (We're swept under the dark tide) Feel the pulse, it’s rising. The ocean we call life is deep. Can we parse truth from lies? Have to crest the waves or sink. While diving down, Through memories, Won’t heed the siren’s call. Just take a breath, Hold to the light, So life won't drown us all. Take my hand in this stormy sea, We fall into the divide. Watch it rage, as you swim with me. We’re swept under the dark tide. Contemplate the future, while staring off into the blue. If we have each other, We’ll rise up from the deep renewed.
