First Single off our second album "Waiting For Tomorrow", to be released April 29, 2014.

lyrics

(Verse 1)

We've disregarded
All our beliefs
And shattered hopes,
And left no way to cope.

This had all started
In a dark age
So long ago.
It's the end of our rope.

(Pre-Chorus)

We can save a life,
But we can't save a soul.
It's out of our control.

(Chorus)

When we're lost and can't be found,
And we're all but safe and sound,
We can turn it all around
As we rise up from the ground.

And we'll win this war within
As we find out how to live
In this world that we have bent.
We are the hollow men.

(Verse 2)

Just like a phoenix,
We're forced to rise
From our own ash
And wash away the past.

We're stuck here bleeding,
Our capillaries
Cut in half.
This breath will be our last.

I can't believe it,
These petty plots
All made for laughs.
This ship was made to crash.

We've been mistreated
By those who
Fade our hopes to black
And vicious psychopaths.

(Pre-Chorus)

We can save a life,
But we can't save a soul.
It's out of our control.

(Chorus)

When we're lost and can't be found,
And we're all but safe and sound,
We can turn it all around
As we rise up from the ground.

And we'll win this war within
As we find out how to live
In this world that we have bent.
We are the hollow men.

Some replace love with hate,
Some live a life of crime.
It's time to make a change,
Just go and live your life.

It's the last chance that we'll get,
So let's make the most of it.
United we will stand,
We are the hollow men.

(Bridge)

Let's set this world ablaze
And burn away our crimes,
Then rise up from the flames
And let your dreams take flight.

Forget about what they say,
It's just a matter of time
Before you run away.

Let's set this world ablaze
And burn away our crimes,
Then rise up from the flames
And let your dreams take flight.

Forget about what they say,
It's just a matter of time
Before you run away.
Just go and live your life.

(Chorus)

When we're lost and can't be found,
And we're all but safe and sound,
We can turn it all around
As we rise up from the ground.

And we'll win this war within
As we find out how to live
In this world that we have bent.
We are the hollow men.

Some replace love with hate,
Some live a life of crime.
It's time to make a change,
Just go and live your life.

It's the last chance that we'll get,
So let's make the most of it.
United we will stand,
We are the hollow men.
