[I. Paradoxe de la Lumière Noire]


[Instrumental]


[II. Live, Die, Kill]


Consider this question 
Look deep inside 
Deliver a true confession 
What are you willing to live for


Consider this question
Open your eyes
Examine your own reflection
What are you willing to die for 


When your back's against the wall 
And your time's uncertain


Consider this question
No standing by
When flesh and blood are threatened 
What are you willing to kill for 


We seek
To understand
We cry
With head in hand 


The bridges we build to connect 
The distance that makes us forget
Hate dividing us
Love reminding us of our shared humanity 


Hope can be a shadow fleeting
I would rather die believing 
Chancing it all in a final act of faith 


We seek
To understand 
We cry
With head in hand 


A story that needs to be told
An answer that begs to found
The beauty we wish to behold
Is never too far away 


[III. The Embracing Circle]


[Instrumental]


[IV. The Pursuit of Truth]


Mothers for their children
Husbands for their wives
Martyrs for the kingdom
Fighting for your life


A soldier for his country
A junkie for the high
Teachers for their students 
Vengeance for a crime


Rebels for their freedom
A tyrant for the praise
Cowards for salvation
Money, love, and fame 


Noble and brave
Lay down our lives for the cause
Death over shame
Grace before glory 


[V. Surrender, Trust & Passion]


To really feel the joy in life
You must suffer through the pain
When you surrender to the light 
You can face the darkest days


If you open up your eyes
And you put your trust in love
On those cold and endless nights 
You will never be alone


Passion glows within your heart
Like a furnace burning bright 
Until you struggle through the dark
You’ll never know that you're alive
