CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Verse One (0:28 to 0:55)
We are carved into the pieces
Underneath dead channel sky
Separated and divided
Subjugated to their lies
We are shattered and fragmented
Shouted down in our dissent
From resentment which fermented
In the age of innocence
Pre-Chorus One (0:56 to 1:09)
Shut off the neon lights
Freedom calls
Overload the network
Once and for all
Chorus One (1:13 to 1:38)
Freedom calls, in electronic dreamland
Breakers fail, and power overloads
Freedom calls, our passage through the wasteland
Breakers fail, our anger will explode
Verse Two (1:39 to 1:52)
We are seekers of integrity
In a solitary quest
Pulled apart by divisions
At tyranny’s bequest
Clean (1:52 to 2:19)
Clouds break as the storm reveals its bane
In the wake of lightning strike, remnants of the rain
Infamy, ignominy of our days
Washes away with power, power overload
Bridge One (2:20 to 2:32)
We will wash away the tyranny
With power, power overload
Bridge Two (3:44 to 3:57)
Power, power overload
Power, power overload
Chorus Two (4:13 to 4:40)
Freedom calls, in electronic dreamland
Breakers fail, and power overloads
Freedom calls, our passage through the wasteland
Breakers fail, our anger will explode

MACHINE I
Verse One (0:18 to 1:31)
Running out of phase
Sacramental dream
In this crowded place
Faithless and obscene
This was all for you
This was all of me
My discordant urge
A tale of misery
Heavy lies the crown
Noise is heavier still
As the lights go down
Silence is my will
Chorus (1:59 to 2:22)
And I feel extension of my soul
Breathe the light above me, feel it take control
City flashes madly at the end of waking dream
I am the reflection, ghost in the machine
Verse Two (2:49 to 3:33)
The current and the flow
To scream or not to be
An absolution show
My cinematic revelry
This is all it was
Blind watcher in the sky
Whispered monologue
For machine and I
Verse Three (3:36 to 4:01)
And I hear it in the whispers
Warnings of what I will become
As I walk into the river
The current and me are one

HUMAN
Verse One (0:32 to 0:45 to 0:59)
From ash and clay, tempered with elements
Raised and infused with inherent divinity
A million years of evolution wrought into form
We wear the crown of ages, now we are transformed
Chorus (0:59 to 1:24)
Look at me now, all once mighty shall despair
Look at me now, all creation, and beware
Look at me now, try to see and understand
My apex crown – absolute, thy name is man
Verse Two (1:24 to 1:52)
From our disparate forms, torn by ambition and guile
Within our tempestuous souls, instruments of our exile
From the heavens, from each other, from the truth of all
In the end we are only human, engineers of our fall
Chorus (1:52 to 2:18)
Look at me now, all once mighty shall despair
Look at me now, all creation, and beware
Look at me now, try to see and understand
My apex crown – absolute, thy name is man
Bridge (2:28 to 2:55)
Furious specks of stardust, raging against the night
Solitary children of uncaring earth
You and me are human, and we are lost
Notes in the celestial symphony
Bridge 2 (2:55 to 3:25) – Solo (Sean “DC” Murphy)
Chorus Three (3:48 to 4:00)
Look at me now, try to see and understand
My apex crown – divinity, thy name is man

THE VEIL OF NIGHT
Verse One (0:29 to 048)
Somewhere in this light
Vestiges of Earthborn hope
A gift of hopeful sky
From the Lunar tides
To the sails that carry us beyond
We lift the Veil of Night
Chorus One (0:50 to 1:09)
The light of home
A pale blue dot
Fading fast
Behind the Veil of Night
Verse Two (1:10 to 1:29)
Like cloth that separates
The world we know from one beyond
A lonely satellite
From dreams of childhood’s past
To the hopes which may yet be
Beyond the Veil of Night
Chorus Two (1:31 to 2:09)
The light of home
A pale blue dot
Fading fast
Behind the Veil of Night
The light of home
On stranger tides
On solar winds
We lift the Veil of Night
Bridge – Solo (Sean “DC” Murphy) (2:09 to 2:59)
Verse Three (3:00 to 3:19)
So this is where we go
The call of newborn star
A beacon in the light
Beyond the setting sun
We travel wide and far
And pierce the Veil of Night
Chorus Three (3:22 to 4:00)
The light of home
A pale blue dot
Fading fast
Behind the Veil of Night
The light of home
On stranger tides
On solar winds
We lift the Veil of Night
