BEYOND FEAR

Were you afraid...
When your life began?

Did you fear the unknown?
Did you fear the end?

You weren't afraid of the beginning...
So why are you afraid of the end?

You entered this world without a warning
No map to follow, no promised dawn
You took your first breath into the silence
And faced the world you were born upon

Now every shadow hides a question
Every tomorrow becomes a threat
You spend your life afraid of losing
The very life you haven't lived yet

You fear the darkness
You fear the unknown
You fear the day
You'll stand alone

But tell me this
Before you turn away

How much of your life
Will fear take away?

BREAK THE CHAINS OF FEAR!
BREAK THE WALLS YOU BUILT INSIDE!
You weren't afraid of the beginning!
So why are you afraid of the end?

BREAK THE CHAINS OF FEAR!
Let the truth be your guide!
You cannot conquer the unknown
While fear controls your life!

You count the days you have before you
As if the clock could be denied
You chase control across the ages
While every moment passes by

You hold so tightly to tomorrow
You let today slip through your hands
You build your walls a little higher
Afraid to face what no one understands

You fear the silence
You fear the end
You fear the questions
You cannot comprehend

But tell me this
Before you turn away

How much of your life
Will fear take away?

BREAK THE CHAINS OF FEAR!
BREAK THE WALLS YOU BUILT INSIDE!
You weren't afraid of the beginning!
So why are you afraid of the end?

BREAK THE CHAINS OF FEAR!
Let the truth be your guide!
You cannot conquer the unknown
While fear controls your life!

No one has seen beyond the ending
No one can tell you what awaits
No final truth to end the searching
No certain path beyond the gates

So why surrender what you have
To shadows you cannot explain?
Why let the fear of one last moment
Turn every living breath to chains?

Look at the life that's passing by!
Look at the world before your eyes!

You cannot stop the hands of time!
But you can choose how you live tonight!

YOU WERE NOT AFRAID!
WHEN IT BEGAN!
WHY FEAR THE END?!
BREAK THE CHAINS!
BREAK THE CHAINS OF FEAR!

BREAK THE CHAINS OF FEAR!
BREAK THE WALLS YOU BUILT INSIDE!
You weren't afraid of the beginning!
So why are you afraid of the end?

BREAK THE CHAINS OF FEAR!
LET YOUR SPIRIT RISE!
You cannot choose the final moment...
BUT YOU CAN CHOOSE HOW TO LIVE YOUR LIFE!

BREAK THE CHAINS!
BREAK THE CHAINS!
BREAK THE CHAINS OF FEAR!

You weren't afraid...
When your life began...

So why...
Are you afraid of the end?

Beyond the pain...
Beyond the memory...
Beyond the soul...
Where do we go?
What will we become?

Beyond the pain
Beyond the memory
Beyond the soul
Into eternity
Through endless darkness
Through silent skies
We seek the truth
Beyond our lives

What makes us human?
What makes us whole?
Is there a truth
Beyond the soul?

BEYOND! BEYOND!
The boundaries of our minds
BEYOND! BEYOND!
The truth we seek to find
We travel through the unknown
Through darkness into light
Beyond all we believe in
Beyond the edge of time

Beyond the sea
Beyond the mountains
Beyond the visible
Beyond what we believe
Beyond the silence
Beyond what we know
A thousand questions
A thousand worlds to go

What is wisdom?
What can we know?
How far can we wander?
How deep can we go?

BEYOND! BEYOND!
The boundaries of our minds
BEYOND! BEYOND!
The truth we seek to find
We travel through the unknown
Through darkness into light
Beyond all we believe in
Beyond the edge of time

Beyond the sky
Beyond the Earth
Beyond the stars
Beyond our birth
Who lit the fire?
Who shaped the flame?
Are we the answer?
Are we just a name?

Beyond creation!
Beyond the known!
Beyond the heavens!
Beyond the throne!

BEYOND! BEYOND!
Beyond the stars above
BEYOND! BEYOND!
Beyond the fear, beyond the blood
We travel through creation
We search for what is true
Beyond the end of everything
A world begins anew!

BEYOND!
BEYOND!
WE ARE THE UNKNOWN!

Beyond the pain...
Beyond the soul...
Beyond creation...
Beyond...

Who told you who to be?
Who drew the lines you never crossed?
Who placed these words inside your mind?
And called them truth?

How long will you live...
As someone else's dream?

You learned to speak in borrowed voices
You learned to walk where others led
You wore the masks they placed before you
And called the face beneath them dead

You built your walls from their expectations
You locked your questions deep inside
But every truth you never questioned
Left another part of you behind

Beneath the silence
Beneath the shame
There is a voice
That knows your name

You buried it
You turned away
But it has waited
For this day!

AWAKEN! — BECOME WHO YOU ARE!
Tear down the walls that hide your soul!
AWAKEN! — REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE!
You were never born to play their role!

No more living through their eyes!
No more truth beneath their lies!
AWAKEN!
Let the real you rise!

You searched the heavens for an answer
You chased the edge of the unknown
You crossed the darkness seeking meaning
While standing distant from your own

The world will offer you its answers
It will define what you should be
But no one else can walk your journey
No one else can set you free

Beyond the fear
Beyond the lies
Beyond the world
They built inside

The final door
Is yours to break
The life you want
Is yours to make!

AWAKEN! — BECOME WHO YOU ARE!
Tear down the walls that hide your soul!
AWAKEN! — REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE!
You were never born to play their role!

No more living through their eyes!
No more truth beneath their lies!
AWAKEN!
Let the real you rise!

What if the answers never find you?
What if the truth is yours to seek?
What if the strength you searched for all your life
Was waiting in the words you couldn't speak?

You are not the fear that held you
You are not the mask you wear
You are more than their expectations
You are more than their despair

No more hiding!
No more chains!
No more drowning
In their names!

This is your life!
This is your choice!

NOW RAISE YOUR HEAD!
AND FIND YOUR VOICE!

WHO ARE YOU?!
WHEN THE MASKS COME DOWN?!
WHO ARE YOU?!
WHEN THERE'S NO ONE AROUND?!

NO MORE HIDING!
NO MORE LIES!
AWAKEN!
OPEN YOUR EYES!

AWAKEN! — BECOME WHO YOU ARE!
Let every buried truth unfold!
AWAKEN! — REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE!
Your story is not theirs to control!

No more living through their eyes!
No more fear to rule your life!
AWAKEN!
LET YOUR SPIRIT RISE!

BECOME WHO YOU ARE!
BECOME WHO YOU ARE!

Beyond the fear...
Beyond the unknown...
You searched for the truth...
Now find your own.

Awaken...
Become who you are.
