The Acolyte

Lyrics

[Intro: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] Dead and lost with tired faces Antiquated passion laid to rest Wake up No smiles for the memories we have Rotting with the corpses of our past Please wake up [Verse 1: Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Shane Crump] Here we stand left in the dark (Kick back) Here we are screaming for help (Strike back) Do you think that we have a fighting chance? Shall we dance on the wings of hope And together fly through the sky? We are not living for this I will take back what is ours [Pre-Chorus: Dennis Lee & Shawn Milke] Stand up, coward Dear God, scream it like you mean it No time to rest, for sleep beckons the weak [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee, Dennis Lee] This can't be it, I don't think I am ready for goodbyes (Darling, please understand) If you leave, if we try to finish what we began (And listen) I don't think I can bring you back So kiss me before you go and whisper three sweet words (This is insane) [Verse 2: Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] There must be something that I missed (Pieces drift away) I wish I could think outside of the box now (Solve the riddle) No stone will be left unturned With God as my witness, I will find a way To slow, to beat the wheels of time I wake up beside you and we smile (Oh, foolishness) [Pre-Chorus: Dennis Lee & Shawn Milke] Stand up, coward Dear God, scream it like you mean it No time to rest, for sleep beckons the weak [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee, Dennis Lee] This can't be it, I don't think I am ready for goodbyes (Darling, please understand) If you leave, if we try to finish what we began (And listen) I don't think I can bring you back So kiss me before you go and whisper three sweet words (This is insane) [Post-Chorus: Dennis Lee] Shatter the hourglass Dissect the universe Tear through reality Rearrange the stars above [Bridge: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] Open your eyes, and gaze the skies Above a world that we have made Blood, sweat, and tears, eons, and years We're building a utopia (A utopia), a utopia (A utopia) [Breakdown: Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Shane Crump, All] Yet I still remain in this cursed place So far from my dreams This must be Hell (I will escape) Burn it to the ground Tear it brick from brick 'Til there's nothing left But a hole in the sky [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee, Dennis Lee] This can't be it, I don't think I am ready for goodbyes (Darling, please understand) If you leave, if we try to finish what we began (And listen) I don't think I can bring you back So kiss me before you go and whisper three sweet words (This is insane) [Post-Chorus: Dennis Lee] Shatter the hourglass Dissect the universe Tear through reality Rearrange the stars above
