Dead Ends 04:09
Cause lately I find myself on a new path, with broken legs in search of a higher ground. Following the roads with no certain chance, with no certain chance. Where are you freedom? Is this you at last? I know I will stick by my friends until the end, until the bitter end. Will you be there with me at the end? How do I walk hand in hand with you? You've lost your faith and that's the truth. So fucking tell me, will you meet me there, somewhere at the end, the end of the road? Will you meet me there? (So fucking tell me , will you meet me there?) At the end of the road? (Somewhere at the end, the end of the road!) When all our smiles dissapear...(dissapear!) Where do we go? (Where do we go?) When all the signs sink in the dirt, where do we go from here? Listen to your heart to find your way. Follow in its footsteps to find your way…your way back home. My pulse is my drive, you couldnt stop me if you tried. So why don't you try? You couldn't stop me if you tried. (If you tried!) How could you see when you were never there? How could I show you when you don't even care? How do I walk hand in hand with you? You've lost your faith and thats the truth . Will you meet me there? (So fucking tell me will you meet me there?) At the end of the road? (Somewhere at the end, the end of the road!) When all our smiles dissapear...(dissapear!) Where do we go? (Where do we go?) When all the signs sink in the dirt, where do we go from here? (I will survive) I will survive! You couldn't stop me if you tried!

We are the changing leaves, ready to descend, raining down in our deepest of dreams, pressing forward until the end. Build your courage up from underneath the ground, Plant your seeds, the futures in your hands. Listen to the autumn breeze; tell of hardships left to come. Hear the cries of the dead beliefs; you have nowhere… left to run. My mother you have tried to waste us away, under these pressures we struggle to defeat. Believe in your brothers, in forests your content, growing in the motions of every lost reason. What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger. This is not the end of the line for me. My mother you have tried to waste us away, under these pressures we struggle to defeat. Rain down with me , as seasons forge their end. We’re ready. We're ready to descend!

We are cursed by our ghosts, that will haunt us for better or for worse. They come dressed to kill, in the purest of shades, wearing masks to hide their ways. Before the catalyst you reap what you sow (you reap what you sow) when running from your fears is all that you have known. Like sheep to its shepherd, your loyalty is sworn. I've realized I'm not the only one, I have realized I’m not the only one. This is my family. Together we are one. When yesterday brings with it her doubts. Making sense of of the vices that steal virtue from us. Mercy, break these chains in battles with myself. I am my own (we are our own) I am my own worst enemy. Bliss is the reward for sacrifice. Vengeance won’t bring you peace. This is my family together we are…one. Oh! We are one! .., OH! Shed the coat of a coward; resurrect me in the body of a wolf. We are the wolves together we will overcome the theives that steal virtue, that steal virtue from us. With our teeth drenched in white, together we will fight the endless shrouds of doubt. Transforming from the inside, from the inside out (the inside out).

This is your life, to conquer to hold. So don't hold back this time, you've got nothing left to lose. (Go!) Sift through the sand, release this from your grasp. Stop living in your past. Forgive the evil that has befallen you. (Rise up!) Beckon for the dead to rise. Embrace tomorrow this is who we are (who we are) , as scavengers rip the lifeless apart; do you remember who you are? (who you are) We are the dead that walk into the livings hearts. Not for one second will we let this break us down. Not one more day in neglect will we stand. I've seen this dying race for what it has become. Watch the sky circle its prey... thirsty for your blood. (for your blood) (Wooaahhhh!) Feast with the vultures, quench the effect. Fill your stomach up with empty regrets. Living out your days in the dark of the night. Embrace tomorrow this is who we are (who we are) , as scavengers rip the lifeless apart; do you remember who you are? (who you are) We are the dead that walk into the livings hearts. Never lose sight in yourself, perspective keeps you strong, do you remember who are ? This is who we are.

As i watch the rain fall down around me at least I know he's crying up there.. Welcome plagues with open arms and claim that you will not bring corruption. I've seen this all before time and time again. As history repeats the clouds are closing in. Overwhelmed by these questions, teased by answers were not meant to hear, consumed by your expectations , you are the maker of all the misery you fear . You wont take me out alive ! The air we breathe is laced in apathy. We haven't seen the sun in days . Seen the sun in days. Infidelity is tearing us in two, The storms you fabricate have taken hold of ... You wont take me out alive! You won't take me! ... Out alive! And it is my final oath (save our souls) to now and forever hold onto my hope for its uplifting ways. (Save our souls) To carry me, to carry me away .. on the winds of what remains. Carry me away ( on the winds) on the winds of what remains Look to the day when skies are clear again. When skies are clear again. Look to the day, when the sky is clear again. (Again) when skies are clear again. Look to the day when the sky is clear again. Look to the day , when skies are clear again...

about

This is the beginning to RIOT In Paradise's "new found sound". It is just a small taste of the direction in which the band has chosen to go in terms of composing. "This Is Who We Are" represents all the band has worked for so far, Illuminates each members individual roots and influences, and reminds their fans of what else is to come.
