All of the universe is in unchanging slumber All the unrest, contagiousness, asleep through time Then you awake to find there's nothing here but ashes Flying a flame that burns a flag of fleeting hope And the blood moon above hangs low...

Dimension 03:04
Sometimes I get lonely Like I was born in the wrong generation Don't you ever hurt your mind Cause without you I'd be lost in the wrong dimension  And it hurts to see the light Aaahhh, aaahhh... Sometimes I get paralyzed, I'm lonely But my heart still beats a connection God it's time for a paradigm, oh something that'll save my generation And it hurts to see the light Aaahhh, aaahhh... Yeah it hurts to see the light Aaahhh, aaahhh...

Verse: Watch you move to the beat But they're sober to it And it’s a game of hearts But they take you to the fence And they beat you through it Chorus: Run and hide Here come the night men Dead inside Sent from the government They don't own you, they don't own me, we are the great unwashed you see Watch you move  To the street  And they follow you through it And it's a play on chance When you line up your defenses But they've beat you to it Run and hide Here come the night men Dead inside Sent from the government They don't own you, they don't own me, we are the great unwashed you see

Granfalloon 04:01
You took me by my face When I took you into space And there we played One thousand years of love But the Granfalloon is come  And you are gone La da da da da da, la da da da Now we're too late, it's gone too far La da da da da da, la da da da The witness came, and killed the judge Erase the gamma rays Take back the words we faked On brighter days I'll freeze myself at last Before my heart attacks  And hate escapes La da da da da da, la da da da Now we're too late, it's gone too far La da da da da da, la da da da The witness came, and killed the judge Ya, we're too late, it's gone too far La da da da da da, la da da da

Machines 03:54
I don't want to be a machine But there's something inside of me Someone controlling the way that I think Bending & folding the word that I speak All this time you were weak Awake from your dreaming Defy what you would never have chosen to be I just want to kill the machine That has come between you & me Cover my eyes cause I don't want to see I don't want to know what it's doing to me All this time you were weak Awake from your dreaming Defy what you would never have chosen to be Oh, you thought you were free Awake from your dreaming It's not what you would ever have chosen to be

Verse: Ah, ah, ah, I walk in my sleep Ah, ah, ah, And fall through the deep Measure of space Ah, ah, ah, To the edge of the rings Ah, ah, ah, That circle the dream We never could save Chorus: All of you turned toward the sun Delivered me back to where I'm from The morning has come and I'm undone I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone... Heard the toll of the silent bell Awaken me from the prison cell Pulling me from the jaws of hell I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone... Verse: Ah, ah, ah, I walk in my sleep Ah, ah, ah, And fall to my knees In a legion of fakes Ah, ah, ah, Their gnashing of teeth Ah, ah, ah, That feed the machine We'll never escape
7.
Liftoff - Flight to the Blood Moon Verse: Fell down a hole All the walls caving in And there's nowhere to go All alone in the cold And the world has abandoned you Flight to the blood moon The cabin is filled with the heaviest smoke As we fly into space Chorus: How can we stay?! We've got to find a way out This can't be our fate?! We've got to find a way out So come on... before we suffocate and lose it all Verse: Fell down a hole All the walls caving in And you can't climb the stones All alone in the cold And the world has abandoned you Flight to the blood moon The cabin is filled with the heaviest smoke Ascending into space Chorus: How can we stay?! We've got to find a way out This can't be our fate?! We've got to find a way out So come on... before we suffocate and lose it all

Cogs 01:01
"There is a fear within. That I am not me. That I am a cog in the brain of inhuman existence. A robotic pawn. A bleeding slave, born to service the machine."
9.
By meddle you're better To settle than face it But can I be banal Enough to speak it? Oh, oo, ahhh, oo ahh, oo ahh, oo ahh-ah I count all of you fetter to break and seek this... 1 Red fire girl, making my world Red fire girl, making my world By battle you sell it A little too faceless But can't pull it together To fake the spaces Oh, oo, ahhh, oo ahh, oo ahh, oo ahh-ah I count all of you fetter to break and seek this... Red fire girl, making my world Red fire girl, making my world Red fire girl, making my world Red fire girl, making my world

Dead Seconds 02:52
Our time is an endless veil We fell, unwell, and finally failed to survive And found in the dissonance The static rest, the colorful face in the night And in the fire Dead seconds lie And the ashes ignite They float to the sky Into another time But why? And we are beyond this sense of nothingness And now there is light in the dark...
11.
Inspiration 04:22
How can this be? You're like a glowing apparition. Lost in a deep  cavernous void, a conflagration. Are you the sea?  Are you the ash of intuition?  Sentenced to weep  through the colors in a prism. You stand on the beach Where explosions turned to ripples And millions will speak But will the sound evade intention? A world of defeat Suffocates imagination Asleep at your feet Is the soul of inspiration How can this be? Your light glowing Lost in the deep Overflowing How can this be? Your heart wakes me From the dark sleep Overcoming
12.
Salvation 04:33
Lifeless war torn nations fall And they break the lie In their eyes Salvation comes And the war won And I see it... Lifeless souls and faces fall And they break the lie In their eyes Salvation comes And the war is won And I see it... How can this be? Your light glowing Lost in the deep Overflowing How can this be? Your heart wakes me From the deep sleep Overcoming
13.
We are awakening to what was ours to find Watch it unfolding into never ending light All of the universe is rising through the ashes Out of a flame that burns into the end of time
14.
Let us begin the future  Let us begin it now Lift up your chin Raise up your face Your eyes toward the sky Let us begin the future Let us unite as one Hold up your hands Light up your head And fly beyond the sun

about

Let Us Begin The Future is now available! The album is meant to be listened to as one continuous piece, rather than the songs played individually.

Let Us Begin The Future is a journey album, that takes you through the current state of earth’s existence and touches on many themes both directly and indirectly;
It starts in a dream, a deep sleep across the universe, the chaos that ensues throughout it and within it. The effects of this chaos on humankind, loss of love, hatred, fear, anxiety… the machines that control us. A moment of realization about an oppressive state of being and how humankind has become the machine that eats itself, and how we must escape from it, find our destiny, and experience a future that encompasses a new state of being, one of hope and the antidote to chaos. We hope you enjoy the album we’ve worked so hard on for the last 5 years. We are thrilled to have it done and to move on to what comes next (the “future?!”).

Thank you to everyone who has supported us and continues to support us in this endeavor. Let Us Begin The Future.
