We've seen brighter skies
We've seen better days
Rebuild today
Revive within this day
We've seen the darkest skies
We've bled from crooked lies
Find the spark; Ignite change
What do you know about sacrifice?
What do you know about loyalty?
For years I've let my afflictions drag me down
You're still digging the knife down my back
You're Dead to me,
you still have the nerve
To show your face and smile
So far in denial
The time has come to separate those
Those who once stood by my side
From those who hide in false friendship
No longer wasting my time searching for those who never cared
So far from where I want to be
Losing sight of my reality
Im Slowly drifting, slowly drifting away
Lay down the anchor,
Abandon ship and start again
All hearts will grow as time moves forward
Never will it be too late; Ignite change
Find purpose rather than fill a void
No longer endlessly searching
Go ahead and dig the knife down my back
Can't believe you still had the nerve...
You say you're sorry but it's hard to believe that's true
So sick and tired of everything you put me through
Karma will bind you
The time has come to separate those
Those who once stood by my side
From those who hide, in false friendship
No longer wasting my time
searching for those who never cared
So far from where I want to be
Losing sight of my reality
I'm Slowly drifting, slowly drifting away
Lay down the anchor
Abandon ship and start again
Ignite change
We will rebuild today
Ill revive this day
Until they hear the truth
I'll Tear this sleeve to keep my youth
Keep fighting on
Until they hear the truth

02: Inside the collision
Album: Revive The Phoenix
Written by A Mirror's Embrace 3/31/13
I've been waiting, just waiting to start something
I've never started before
I've been waiting, just waiting to go somewhere
Still reaching out for the shore
Slowly becoming worlds apart
Darkness upon this love
Once again, up all night, no sleep
For this nightmare, we're reliving,
Our worlds collide, inside the collision
We search for the answers
Our worlds combine,
Our hearts collide, inside the collision
And as time goes on we divide
We divide...
Go ahead and build your walls
Cause in the end you will only confine yourself
Go ahead and build your walls
Cause in the end you will fight all alone
You'll fight all alone
Our worlds collide, inside the collision
We search for the answers
Our worlds combine,
Our hearts collide, inside the collision
And as time goes on we divide
So why do we collide?
Is there meaning behind all this destruction?
Are we hopeless to coexist?
Are we hopeless?
Hopeless...
With my walls closing in faster than before
It seems I still find a way out
Even when my walls are closing in on me
Cast away your doubt
Even when your walls are closing in on you
I'm closing in, faster than before
There is always a way out
Our worlds collide, inside the collision
We search for the answers
Our hearts collide!
And as time goes on we divide
Lyrics by Manny Figueroa & Ron McCloud

03: For Those Who Speak TheTruth
Album: Revive The Phoenix
Written by A Mirror's Embrace 3/1/12
Keep it to yourself. I can't stand the site of you.
But you're the only one I dream of...
When will you learn that your ego sets you apart from the person you really are?
I won't take the fall this time...
After all is said and done,
You will never become one
Cause' you'll never understand
That you will never be perfect
There is hope for those who speak the truth
Broken hearts become bullet proof
You're so caught up in yourself that you will never comprehend the idea, that you will never be perfect
You tell me you know what it's like to stand in my shoes,
Lie straight to my face,
You think everything’s alright
Keep it to yourself. I can't stand the site of you. But you're the only one I dream of...
When will you learn that your ego sets you apart from the person you really are?
What I hate most is how you made yourself the victim,
When I'm the one who took the fall for you
All is said and done,
You will never become one
Cause' you'll never understand
That you will never be perfect
There is hope for those who speak the truth
broken hearts become bullet proof
Believe me when I say;
Broken hearts become bulletproof
Lyrics by Cody Ouellette & Manny Figueroa

04: We Are Not Forever Lost (Follow Me Home)
Album: Revive The Phoenix
Locked away; with my back against the wall
We will be home soon, my friend
Look through my eyes
I hope you see through my disguise
Cause I'm suffocating
been waiting for you to finally see, the truth
Time to rebuild what I once burned down
It's been too long
Lost in sands of time
I will never know the truth
it's alright
tonight, tonight
you'll never see the light
And I will finally understand
Locked away, My back against the wall
all I've got left is aggression
and I'm running out of time
Is there a part of you still there?
Without you... I despise everyday that I'm here
It's been too long
Lost in sands of time
I will never know the truth
It’s alright,
tonight, tonight
you'll never see the light
And I will finally understand
We are not forever lost
This soul is right at home
My friend, we will be there soon
Tonight, tonight
You'll never see light
I will finally understand
Follow me, follow me home

05: Behind Hospitality
Album: Revive The Phoenix
So sick and tired of breaking my back
For a purpose that is not my own
So worn out from fighting battles that are not for my own cause
I only fight for my home
So worn out from building someone else's dream
Still second guessing myself in this life: my only
One chance, one fight,
And I've been wasting away
Day in and day out
Im Slowly losing pieces of myself
As every hour, every minute goes by
Your "hospitality" is killing me
Don't ever feel looked down upon
Cause you are more than just a number,
Never back down from this disease
You're worth more than you know
refuse to conform to their demands
Signal your defiance

06: The Parting Of Ways (Rose)
Album: Revive The Phoenix
Written by A Mirrors Embrace 3/6/13
Lights above the sky seem so close
Seem so close...
Illuminate our path this night,
For we can only hope,
we can only hope
She will deliver us,
To our destination
You wouldn't believe these things I've seen;
Like foreign planets and galaxies
I've ended wars with a single word
And risked my life just to be by your side
No obstacle/
Will overcome/ space or time/
To finally see my blossoming Rose
Would mean the end of everything
But she found her way back to me
Just to prove that she could
Spreading words through time and space,
We exterminate/disintegrate the tyrant
Return her home
The past is where she refuses to stay
She found her way back to me
Just to prove that she could

07: Through The Mask
Album: Revive The Phoenix
Written by A Mirror's Embrace 3/3/13
I will look to the sky, no longer searching for you
Losing sight of who I was before
False remedy kicks in, my hopes fall to the floor
I wanna be who I used to be
When you're in my life,
it gives me every push I need to fall back from the edge
Take me back to the days
I was fine without this addiction
Through a mask you hide
Hoping to cover everything you hate on the inside
Truth shines through
Everyone sees the real you
The beast is ugly within
Everything I've worked for was withered away
Gave it all, now I'm never giving in
My will to fight is here to stay
Disguise yourself in beauty
the beast remains ugly within
Time to become who I used to be
never again / transform me
looking up to the sky
Hope stands by
Through a mask you hide
Hoping to cover everything you hate on the inside
Truth shines through
Everyone sees the real you
The beast is ugly within

08: The Consequence Of Karma
Album: Revive The Phoenix
Written by A Mirrors Embrace 2/17/13
You will not be the death of me
Never again
For I struggle for a greater cause
Never will you ever be worthy of any slightest envy
You're just as naive as everyone
Your temporary relief was to turn your back on me,
I serenade in laughter while you grin over a war you think you won
It wont be long until you realize
You Are the fool I expected you to be,
giving in so easily
A thief disguised in loyalty
Like the coward I expected you to be:
Hiding in the dark
This is the price you pay
Won't be long until you realize
you are the one
who is expendable
Made you're mistake
Should've known you were fake
be careful for what you wish for
And for those you choose to push away
The truth comes out to everyone
Like the fool I expected you to be,
giving in so easily
A thief disguised in loyalty
Like the coward I expected you to be:
Hiding in the dark
This is the price you pay
I'm not wasting my time planning the worst for you
the worst will come your way without me
Karma is
A symphony, of your, misery
Killing you slowly;
This is the price you pay
The consequence of karma
Never take my friendship and trust as a weakness
This is the price you pay
The consequence of karma
Now you've become, you've become; a fake, your weak, cowardly, and worthless
Keep turning your back on everyone
No one will miss you / you're dead

09: Weekend Warriors
Album: Revive The Phoenix
Written by A Mirrors Embrace 8/3/13
Some people don't even try
Some people will never return
Will never return...
Others have tried to escape into the sky
While others just sit for life and die,
Trying to live, trying to live
This place is populated with lies;
Ill expose mine if you tell me yours first,
I won't die, I will choose to fight
I will arise
Then escape into the sky...
We won't lie, can you see into our eyes?
Can you feel our strength?
This nation of captives; will arise...
No matter what they say
It's our world, against theirs
As our words prevail
No matter what the day;
We've shown them what we've become and now they're afraid...
We will all face the same God
treated like dogs, we pray
We pray to hopefully one day be free....
I won't die, I will choose to fight
I will arise
Then escape into the sky...
I won't lie, please look into my eyes,
Can you feel my strength?
This nation of captives; will arise...
We are weekend warriors
A company of misery
An ongoing mystery of revolution,
Intertwined by our ancestry
Broken down visionaries
No matter what they say
It's our world against theirs
As our words prevail
No matter what the day;
We've shown them what we've become and now they're afraid...
We will face the darkness
We fight on as the lights go out
When the sun sets, we will break through these walls,
As we arise they will fall...
It's alright, let go, just leave this place behind...
Forever we exist within an endless fight...
Lyrics by Ron & Manny Figueroa

10: Conviction
Album: Revive The Phoenix
Written by A Mirror's Embrace 11/12/13
Dis-faced, displaced
From a ruined nation
Can't exist, can't coexist
Only thing I can look forward to is life after this...
Only thing I can look forward to is life after this...
Everyone's been down that road;
To a place that was meant for all of us
A hero, a patriot, and a new horizon brought forward
One by one you're killing everything like a heartless genocide
One more sign of conflict-ion, Obliteration, a ruined nation
We will do the time but the time will not stop my redemption
We will never escape, we will never escape this place
That was meant for all of us
Distaste, dis-erased
From a perfect perdition
We will create, we will liberate
A new conviction
One more sign of conflict-ion, Obliteration, a ruined nation
We will do the time but the time will not stop my redemption
We will never escape, we will never escape this place
That was meant for all of us
Dis-faced, displaced
From a ruined nation
Can't exist, can't coexist
Only thing I can look forward to is life after this...

11: A Place Apart
Album: Revive The Phoenix
Written by A Mirrors Embrace
9/29/13
A place apart, the remains of treachery
Go straight to the heart, take revenge on everything
Take one last stand, Take my hand,
Ill show you your virtues and fantasies
We prey upon the winds, to separate them
We make believe they don't exist
To captivate, and isolate
To achieve a perfect rendition
We're gonna fall away, to a place we call our own
We're gonna call on the grave, to erase us from this world
A place apart,
I still walk with the remaining brave
Through the dark
We strike hearts; this is a test of my infinite abilities
For idle hands, lost in the sands,
I'll reach in and set you free...
We pray for the sins, for desolate winds
To make them believe, make them believe
That we can finally avenge
To capture their hands, and rapture the lands,
To take an oath and rise again
Take an oath and rise once again
We're gonna fall away, to a place we call our own
We're gonna call on the grave, to erase us from this world
A place apart
Erasing hearts
Defacing love
They all fall away...
We're gonna fall away, to a place we call our own
We're gonna call on the grave,
To erase us from this world
Erase us from this world

12: An Invisible Pandora
Album: Revive The Phoenix
Written by A Mirrors Embrace 10/17/13
Here come the signs of the end of our age.
these words still prevail
I still prevail
Scars remain, I am not ashamed
Here come the signs of the end of our age
This abomination, this desolation
As we close our eyes to escape this exiled place, we are sworn
We are sworn to obey a greater name
As my fate remains…
These words still prevail,
My mind will set sail
My visions will not fade
These visions will not fade
The breaking of our hearts is what once made us human
So I've buried mine
We've sailed from here to there
We've finally become aware
We are alive
Invisible visions, from a broken existence
We hear you calling our names
Two separate divisions, from a new resistance
The invisible order
An invisible Pandora
My mind becomes indestructible
Invisible visions, from a broken existence
We hear you calling our names
Two separate divisions, from a new resistance
Defeated ghosts at the shore
I've finally opened the door
No longer frail, crawl from the dust
Until the end
Until the end
This life is no longer pretend
Fight with me until the end
My maker, defender, redeemer and friend
Lyrics by Ron McCloud & Manny Figueroa
