I am torn in two Don’t know what to do Which way should I go The truth I must know Feeling insecure I see nothing pure I need something new I need something true I’m going under My truth uncovered Feels like forever When will I get there Breaking into conscience to find meaning Broken between two worlds fading wondering Something beyond our lives is much greater Hoping it all will work out in the end Show me the way I have fallen astray Lead me to better days As I walk on the road is long But at the end my broken soul will mend I shed my skin I’m free of sin Walk on my way And no one can take that away When will we come to know ourselves When will we know Hiding between the sands of time The answer to it all I’m digging deeper and deeper Trying to find myself I’m trying harder and harder To reach the core These feelings will not leave I can’t look away I will not rest until I find my way home Why am I here in this cold world What have we done We’ve become numb Loosing my way I can’t explain which way to go I just don’t know Coming up for air is harder than before When everything’s been taken And still we’re taking more Show me the way out Show me the way back home

Memories come flood my mind Reminding me of better times When everything seemed alright When everything was not a fight The innocence is lost At any cost Do you remember how simple Life used to be Children playing laughing for free Now to smile they gladly pay a fee We decide to let it go Oh no For reasons why I don’t know Oh no We let it go The innocence is gone No longer here Now there’s more to lose More to fear Unless we learn to let this go This haunting emptiness will grow Changing all that that’s high to low The tides are turning I know The days are falling to darkness The color’s fading to grey Leaving nothing but ashes It feeds on my soul We’re losing control Take hold of our fate Before it’s too late Waste away in the stillness of the night Hypnotized by the blinding light Starring into the mirror with dead cold eyes They’re trying to take me away The world is getting colder now We need to find our way somehow Locked away from the love You could have had Killing time on pointless games Trade your soul for empty promises Loosing sight of what is real They’re trying to take me away They’re trying to take our innocence

The tables have turned The currents going under The battles begun It’s too late to turn back We’re heading down a one way street Straight ahead in one direction We’re leaving all the days behind And moving on into forever I try and tell myself live in the here and now Don’t dwell on yesterday Be happy with today Life is too short and we’re not getting any younger The times here and now So make the most of what we have The more you live and learn The closer you become To finding peace of mind One day you’ll cross that line You’ll cross that line

Sink or Swim 07:35
You are fading from my eyes I’m losing my direction And here we go again Into the darkness We’re leaving behind All that we are This allusion feels so real The walls are closing into me The seclusion breaks the seal There’s no more room for mourning The time is standing still The light is faint and dim I try to walk away It’s either sink or swim After the voices become silent After the rain has come and gone When all you have had washed away There is a way to carry on Until we reach our destination We must be brave we must be strong Believe in me I will not fail you I won’t give up I’m holding on I’m holding on

I want to go with the flow Down through the undertow I want to let my spirit fly And let all my fears die I want to run with the wind And let go until the end I want to feel everything So that my heart will sing I want to lay my burdens down And turn my life around I want to set my demons free Into the rhythm of the sea As I am letting go of the things That complicate my day I start to realize It’s much easier this way Lift the curtain so I might see Lift the veil that’s blinding me Help me learn to let things go Before they build before they grow Live in the moment live For tomorrow may not come Take, take all that you need And leave behind yesterday Rain, let the rain pour down on me Cleanse, let it cleanse my wounds The view from here Is getting clearer The air I breathe is no longer thin The sun is rising On the horizon The passage to dawn Is where I begin I’m thankful for what I have The sun is shining and I’m alive The road back home is getting closer And what I fear has gone away

At any Cost 04:06
They’ve come to tear down our little world They’re trying to come between you and me They’re tempting us to form and follow With promises that end up hollow Would you sell your soul Just how far are we willing to go Sacrifice our life for the money flow Is it really worth all the blood and sweat When in the end tears are all you’ll get Striving hard to make a dollar With your brand new suit And buttoned collar Try your luck in the Wall Street game From the view up here it’s all the same Would you sell your soul Just to get control Driven by greed and lust Your ego grows Your soul starts to rust If you had listened to the voice within Who’s telling you you can never win No you’ll never win

Lost in this cluttered world Blinded from the truth Can’t see beyond ourselves Can’t see the light I see the blind lead the blind And they search but never find Why are we here where are we going When did this all begin I believe there is a reason why we are here I believe we are blinded by our fear Lead me into your garden Take me away from here Help me to find the answer Help me lose this fear Of never knowing the truth Is this all a waste of time Free me of this burden That weighs upon my mind I’m looking for an answer I’m waiting for a sign I’m searching for the meaning I need to know why Waiting waiting It seems like forever To reach the light Sometimes it seems so hopeless Out of sight out of mind I keep searching but cannot find My way out of here Into the light Take my hand Take me away from here To the Promised Land Let go of all your fear We are not alone You are not the only one Who feels this way There are many more Who can’t find their way They have fallen and given up Help them to find their way Help them to find salvation So they can live again I am holding on I’m not letting go of you Tear down the walls Let the light in I want to feel this I want to know you are here I know this is real Fill this emptiness take away my despair Fill my doubts with faith and wisdom Let me know you will always be there And never lead me astray

Surrender 04:23
I’m giving in I’m giving in There’s no way there’s no way That we can win Come inside look around Can you hear me Waiting here for so long Know me Trying to follow through Will you give me Reasons why in the end We get nothing Its coming its coming The end is near I feel it I feel it I feel the fear I’m sinking I’m sinking Into the ground Would you give it up Would you give up everything Just to watch it fall Just to watch it fall away, no I’m ready I’m ready I’m ready now So take me and use me And show me how I’m willing I’m willing To stand and fight To take hold of our fate And do what’s right I’m waiting and waiting For way too long So dive in and take it Before it’s gone When the rain comes When it’s pouring down on you Take it all in Don’t waste the day Listen closely Do you hear the sound It’s all around us Silence rings out loud When we‘re looking back on our lives Does a question come to mind Could we have done anymore It’s too late to rewind

Far Apart 06:27
On my way to meet the sky I’ve been waiting here so long A familiar voice I hear Calling me in closer Lay down your guns Lay down your guard There’s no need to run anymore You are what I have been looking for Come inside don’t be afraid Rest your weary eyes Forget the things that way your mind Let your spirits rise I was always there for you I’ve been there from the start But you chose to walk the other way Leaving us far apart Giving into temptation Takes me further from you Falling away from salvation Tell me what I should do I’ve always wanted to know you But you seemed so out of reach Other’s tell me you’re not true They should practice what they preach Rise let your spirit rise In my darkest hour When I’ve lost the will to go on Will you lift me up When it seems all hope is gone

Seasons come seasons go Bringing change to the constant flow One day alive the next day we’re gone Always in constant motion moving on and on Out with the old in with the new The ones that prevail Are the privileged few Everything is a piece in the puzzle Everything has a purpose Fill in the gaps the empty spaces Leaving a mark Leaving a trace The world takes shape The stars are falling From the dawn you can hear Them calling your name Closer clearer nearer Before the awakening The core was shaking This need kept on growing With time never knowing When it would flow When this structure will blow For reasons beyond our control It’s inevitable Echoes from the past Will forever last The shifting sands of time are infinite Water falls down the mountain side Giving life to the ones who have died The ones who have died See the miracles of life reinventing itself Catch a glimpse of creation We’re all links in the chain reaction Playing our roles we all fill the holes One by one we fill in the blanks The story’s written by everything As we’re moved by the wind No matter what the color of your skin To our final destination It’s all the same in the end

about

Floodline's latest album "Beneath The Waves", includes 11 full length tracks. The music is heavier and more progressive overall, and was written with a straight forward and focused approach as apposed to their first album. Other musicians have participated on “Beneath the waves” on a guest musician basis, Randy George who plays with neal morse and Mike portnoy of Dream Theater, Plays keyboards on “Beneath the waves”. This album's message is illustrated perfectly in the phenomenally expressive style of prog art genius Ed Unitsky. It is again somewhat of a concept, as was the first Floodline album “Passage to dawn” . it tells a story of soaring hope arising from the mire of deep disparity. The themes of each song do vary, but they, as do all Floodline songs, display a very positive attitude within the meaning. "There is way to much negativity around us, so we like to keep things positive. Even when all looks bleak, you can still find a light at the end of the tunnel and a silver lining along the edge of the darkest clouds. We want listeners to be uplifted by our music, and writing positive lyrics is one way that we try to do that."
