Everything that you said was so perfect Everything that you knew we would want And now that the rug has been pulled from below us Did this all go according to plan? You told them your lies with your clever disguise You ignored all the cries; the innocence stolen You turned and you ran; was this always your plan? You've lost open hands when trust was broken You answered the calls for a reason for this You told us that there was nothing to fear But now everything is falling around us The world that we built is crumbling down You told them your lies with your clever disguise You ignored all the cries; the innocence stolen You turned and you ran; was this always your plan? You've lost open hands when trust was broken You told them your lies with your clever disguise You ignored all the cries; the innocence stolen You turned and you ran; was this always your plan? You've lost open hands when trust was broken You told them your lies with your clever disguise You'll pay for your crimes; the jury has spoken You turned and you ran; was this always your plan? You've lost all command; the trust is broken

Sanctuary 04:42
That cross you wear around your neck Is that noose that hangs you to your death And I know it's hard for you to hear That you were wrong Hey; it's always the same It's all in the way you lie then think that you are saved It's never to late To make a change and be the one you said you would be But don't kid yourself it's never enough to lie then cheat your way through life Then make Him cry; as He cast you aside as He watches you die; as He watches you burn There are no golden gates for you There is no glory or fortune There is no solace to your fears There is no sanctuary I've said it many times before And the fact it still remains The confession of your sins Means nothing if you never change There are no golden gates for you. There is no glory or fortune There is no solace to your fears There is no sanctuary here.

Together we stand; divided we fall And lately, it seems we're blind to it all We see it on the news every day One kills one, and the world's gone up in flames What did we do to cause this pain? Who will save the day? There's a thin line between love and hate And we cross it every day We kill each other in the streets then swear that we can change You could start a march or pray to God Not to make the same mistake 'Cause there's a thin line between love and hate Please don't cross that line today. Who's to blame for all that we have seen? 'cause fingers point and still we can't come clean. Broken homes and broken bones And in the ground another gravestone There's a thin line between love and hate And we cross it every day We kill each other in the streets then swear that we can change You could start a march or pray to God Not to make the same mistake 'Cause there's a thin line between love and hate Please don't cross that line today. We can change We can change oh no please God just make us change There's a thin line between love and hate And we cross it every day We kill each other in the streets then swear that we can change You could start a march or pray to God Not to make the same mistake 'Cause there's a thin line between love and hate Please don't cross that line today.

Defiance 07:45
In the name of God, conspire To waste your foes in war content to set this world on fire and shake our world to its core You claim to be a freedom fighter But what are you dying for? No. We won't take it We won't let you win this war No. You won't break us. We won't take this anymore. Killing innocent civilians Collateral damage, be damned Referred by those who oppose as villains The label fits you well No. We won't take it We won't let you win this war No. You won't break us. We won't take this anymore. There will come a time When you will be forced to pay for your crimes It's the end of the line The vengeance will come its way in time There is no escape. No. We won't take it We won't let you win this war No. You won't break us. We won't take this anymore. No. We won't take it We won't let you win this war No. You won't break us. We won't take this anymore.

All Must End 05:31
A window shatters; we're under siege I can't believe; I cannot see How far we've fallen; how far we've gone It's all so blurry I see you shaking; I see you crawl I see the shattered remains of it all I hear you whisper "It's not your fault" But I know the whole story. All we ever wanted, it is going down And all that we dreamed for is gone And all that we believed is over now And all that we loved is a lie. A cold wind blows right through my bones Like the words you said, I already know And the fire so warm, is so long gone But don't you worry All we ever wanted, it is going down And all that we dreamed for is gone And all that we believed is over now And all that we loved is a lie. It all must end; all must end All must end right now It all must end; all must end All things must come to an end right now All we ever wanted, it is going down And all that we dreamed for is gone And all that we believed is over now And all that we loved is a lie. It all must end; all must end All must end right now It all must end; all must end All things must end to begin again.

Special thanks to: my supportive family, both here in Washington and back home in Oklahoma. You've all had a hand in this whether you know it or not. I wouldn't be where I am today without you. To my buddies and former bandmates in Fallstreak, James, Cody and Colin. Keep rocking on guys. Keep the rock alive. To Marcus Blanco, Chris Briggs, Tyler Whitworth, and Steven Schrum for the jam sessions throughout the years. I'm sure a riff or two from this album came from a jam session. To Jamie for listening to random songs I send you for feedback. To the others who have listened to my songs I've posted, originals and otherwise. To Wayne and Ray and Uncle Roy's Music in Yelm, WA.
Lastly, thanks to my dog Bella.

about

Jacob Carter Olympia, Washington

Inspired by the melodicism of 70s and 80s classic rock, the grunge aesthetics and sensibilities of the 90s, and the modern sheen of rock and metal today, I try to write music that keeps the listener engaged, inspired, and interested. My music will never cost money, but you are welcome to donate to the cause if you feel like it. Thanks for checking out my music, and keep fighting the good fight. ... more
