Lying Awake 03:58
The pressures of this life will me to bend and break. My stars align within carrying me forward. Here I am lying awake. Your memory still vivid in my mind, cascading thoughts in every waking moment. The caress of loneliness's hand washes over me. I am overcome by your beauty but you fail me once more. Hold me now before I leave this place. Hold me now I long for your sweet embrace. I would wish upon a star if I could hold you tonight. Hold me now before I leave this place. Hold me now I long for your sweet embrace. I would wish upon a star if I could hold you one last time, forever again and again. Here I am lying awake. Your memory still vivid in my mind. I lie in ruin but these tears have been laid to rest.

This is all about us and our lives and our dreams. We are down in the trenches clawing our way out. So now you know we set sail at daybreak. Don’t call the captain. He'll be left behind so that we may plot our own course. Let's make our move. Let's set the seas ablaze. Look toward the horizon. Take it all in. Just know that this rests on your shoulders. It’s hard to endure when night outshines the day. So band together. We'll fight as one. It's our blueprint to turn the tides. So turn the tides. My words are now waves overcome by collapse as this monolith clouds my thoughts. Will our faults and all of our failures just be cast aside or is the price that we all pay for glory more than even we can bear? Is it more than we can bear? My words are waves overcome by collapse. Awaken to the horror of another night. Will you be there to guide me to the shore?

March forward leave your fears behind. This is our chance to escape from this place. We walk this beaten path in search of something more. Now I know this must be our destiny. Here I sit, gagged and bound, just because you have failed us again. Stay the course. This is our burden. We carry all the weight. You draw the chord tight, you tie us down but we will rise again. I'll never be the same. I'll take this to my grave. I'll never be the same. I think it's time to scream the truth right back at you.

about

The Color of Valor Allentown, Pennsylvania

Hard hitting Pennsylvania metalcore act, The Color of Valor, is a true gem in a tired scene. Most bands are content hashing out the same old riffs and chord progressions but not TCOV. Each song has distinct characteristics that set them apart without jumping ship. Instead of following the verse-chorus-verse-chorus pattern, these guys have flipped traditional song structure on its head. ... more
