2.	Waiting To Fly 07:03	lyrics	buy track
I've been waiting from the beginning waiting for my time to take my wings and fly away I've been waiting Now it's beginning Waiting for the dawn And we're trying to find a way As the night comes to a close The storm is dying inside Searching for the moment to take to the skies As we spread our wings Now we're all just waiting to fly I've been waiting For so long Waiting for the time When everything is gone I've been waiting Now it's coming down The end of time is crashing As history comes around 10,000 feet Into the sky Crossing borderlines Engraved by sleepless night The morning sunrise Blazing golden white Burns the wings of angels Tearing from eternal flight
3.	Reflections 07:46	lyrics	buy track
Staring down the edge Waiting for the moment when I can forget Everything that's gone before My darkest hour, now I'm reborn And the guiding lights surround me Guiding my feet to where I'm meant to be And even though my heart is breaking I try to remember how many steps I've taken Don't let me go I'm drowning in the undertow and these reflections on the water Help me remember what I'd forgotten I've been standing here too long Watching everything, now everything is gone Ripples turn to waves, and crash around my feet At this point in time where the different roads meet And the sounds of life surround me Nostalgic songs of how it used to be And even though my heart is breaking I try to remember how many steps I've taken And as the time moves forward Reflections glow and carry onward And as the guiding lights surround me Take my hand again, and pull me free
4.	Live Forever 09:02	lyrics	buy track
One last time around the clock One more minute in our hands One last moment to enjoy One more second falls like sand One more face left to recall One more chance to lose it all One more moment in the night One more dawn that will ignite Eternity passes by Time stands still, no-one knows why And in this moment, I am free These silhouettes embrace the day Guiding time to find it's way And in this moment, I am free One more time No longer held by time and space We feel like we could live forever One last time Waiting for the night to end We know that we could live forever One last time around the clock One more minute in our hands One last moment to enjoy One more second falls like sand One more time that we will fight One more chance to say goodbye One more time that we will fall One more time to risk it all Floating free of time Suspended thoughts of mind Eternity stands still As we wait for it to begin Losing all control And sense of time, we cross this world As we stop moving free We know what we are meant to be One last moment, where everything remains One last moment, where everything's the same As the sky burns crimson red, time is ticking down again As the seconds burn and die, we will fade out from this life As time stands still for a moment I close my eyes As time breaks down again The seconds tick into the sky Trailing fingertips Through the currents of our minds Watch our thoughts take shape As we follow guiding lines As the seconds pass Forever slows into a dream Perspective slows and changes And time will show us what it means These thoughts will guide our feet Through eternity One last time we cross the world To where we're meant to be
5.	The Quietest Moments [feat. Zinzan Smith] 08:52	lyrics	buy track
Silence falls again Time passes, moments fall like sand Lost in this eternity Floating free we never land Consciousness comes round again And sleep will bring it to an end And as the seconds pass us by, we fade away into the sky And silence swirls around like stars And as the light fades into broken sunset A sky so clear that we could never forget Time stands still within the moment And everything is guiding home When in the quietest moments we're alone Staring out into the sky Waiting for the day to end Watching life go drifting by Wishing for it once again Save a place within our hearts For this moment we can hold inside That we can remember when we're apart And hope and pray for one more night As time comes to an end Everything we have to forget As time comes to an end Drawn together once again
6.	Dreaming In Suspension 09:45	lyrics	buy track
Restless sleep breaks over me Suspended dreams create uncertainty And as this time is flowing free The strangest thoughts occur to me Save me, I'm falling Can you hear me calling? Release me from this tension As I'm dreaming; dreaming in suspension As the clock is ticking faster This world is racing for disaster And this illusion falls away from me I awaken, finally free Taking one step at a time Through the frozen image, the gallery of minds As a carnival, haunted in my dreams Causing terror, drawing suffocated screams Let me go!!!! The curtain falls, the show begins Revealing mysteries within Whispered voices call my name Draw me inwards, guiding through the flames
7.	Death Of A King (free) 07:15	lyrics	download
Another era has died inside, and the end is coming As your empire crumbles, watch them all start running Your evil heart filled with deception, so easily betrayed Now the countdown has begun, and immortality delayed As darkness falls the fight begins Claiming control from within The end is coming Stand and watch the sun go down on this life Held against the gleaming edge of the knife And as the remnants drip down to the floor Stand and watch your empire fall! Standing, sole survivor; the end has come, no time to hide You've got to face the moment Watching, feeling helpless; and now the moment's trapped inside Everything is broken The world is fading faster; the mental visions out of reach As you're driven round the bend The crown has smashed to pieces, the words no longer control The death of the king will bring the end This life can't seem to find it's way Running round in circles, guiding to a brand new day Through the fires of the night, the conflict rages on Claiming casualties, until everything is gone
8.	The End Of Days 07:48	lyrics	buy track
All this waiting for our time to come all this faking until it's time to run Blinding brightness in our eyes Casting shadows of our minds Watchful thoughts that complicate All the memories left behind As this moment passes by We will fade into eternity And as we stop to think About our life's uncertainty We will fall as we began Nothing more than vacant dreams Emotions wrapped in time As our thoughts drift through the seams Waiting for the end of days Breaking Follow separate ways Falling Into another place in time Calling Out to hold the line As these thoughts run free again Flowing down onto the page These figures in our minds Draw closer every day As the lights shine down on you Lights surrounded in our eyes The world comes round again Under stormy skies Following these different paths Knowing none of it could last We stand to lose it all And everything will fall Desperation clouds our hearts As we're broken far apart We could watch this one more night Fade into the new world's light [Lead] As time begins to overthrow Everything you thought you'd always know The moments fade inside And there's nowhere left to hide [Backing] Too late, slow down Time stops, dead now I won't, be left Waiting for death Time kills, slowly Leaves us, lonely Holding onto my thoughts of you Breaking inside Living dead lies It's the end now It falls somehow Breaking into My thoughts of you Drifting inside Now it's all died
9.	An Awakening [Bonus Track] 07:48	lyrics
As the smoke clears away Glimpses of the world surrounded begin to appear Our future burning all around As the past begins to crumble and disappear Give me a reason to open my eyes Give me a reason to realise The truth that is awakening inside Killing in the name of freedom Killing in the name of God Killing for the chance to reach out For the chance to see beyond Into the light Don't draw into your shell Reach out, to escape this living hell Turn your back on what's killing you When there's nothing else you can do Within the silence The smoke clears away The flames die down once more At the end of the day

about

This is the first album by Angels Unchained.

For this album, I wanted to combine as many influences as I could; the symphonic elements of bands such as Earthside and Avantasia, the progressive elements of bands such as Haken and Dream Theater, as well as some of the more ambient elements of bands such as Skyharbor. Making this album was an awesome journey, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.

Huge thanks to Sirius SDZ for the background texture used in the artwork. (You can check out his other work at sirius-sdz.deviantart.com) Also a huge thank you to Zinzan Smith, for providing the guitars on "The Quietest Moments".
