    Lyrics
    0:02
    Go!
    0:12
    Fluctuate with waves bending on the threshold of glory
    Changing shape inside an ocean filled with my deepest desires
    Following the siren's call from every direction
    To show me what I am
    A passenger in a foreign land
    0:31
    Astray, and void of purpose
    I've wandered aimlessly
    The flames beyond the surface
    Now guiding me
    0:56
    To set me free
    Searching for a moment of clarity
    To bring me towards the future that I was destined to live
    1:17
    Shedding my disguise, I realize I am desensitized
    By all the cries to compromise
    A life I have visualized through bleeding eyes
    Immobilized by the turning tides
    1:28
    And how long must I keep on reaching
    For worlds beyond my grasp?
    And how long will my heart stay beating
    Before collapse?
    Before collapse
    Before collapse
    2:24
    All that I wanted is part of me at last
    No longer haunted by demons of my past
    Astray, and void of purpose
    I've wandered aimlessly
    The flames beyond the surface
    Now guiding me
    Through darkened waters
    I'm torn asunder
    By all that I choose to be
    Embrace my every burden
    To set me free
    Guided by flames above the surface
    Now justified, I accept my purpose

At the time, Levi Clay even did a video with tabs teaching how to play this riff, all due to how cool it was when John suddenly played it on one of the studio videos!

    Dude... I didn't think they were gonna be able to replace Chris Barretto. But hell man, Andy sounds great, and mixes great with Monuments' style. I've been a fan of Andy since he tried out for Volumes, and for some reason didn't get that gig. So happy to see all the hard work paying off for him.

    Lyrics:
    Fluctuate with waves bending on the threshold of glory
    Changing shape inside an ocean filled with my deepest desires
    Following the siren's call from every direction
    To show me what I am
    A passenger in a foreign land
    Astray, and void of purpose
    I've wandered aimlessly
    The flames beyond the surface
    Now guiding me
    To set me free
    Searching for a moment of clarity
    To bring me towards the future that I was destined to live
    Shedding my disguise, I realize I am desensitized
    By all the cries to compromise
    A life I have visualized through bleeding eyes
    Immobilized by the turning tides
    And how long must I keep on reaching
    For worlds beyond my grasp?
    And how long will my heart stay beating
    Before collapse?
    Before collapse
    Before collapse
    All that I wanted is part of me at last
    No longer haunted by demons of my past
    Astray, and void of purpose
    I've wandered aimlessly
    The flames beyond the surface
    Now guiding me
    Through darkened waters
    I'm torn asunder
    By all that I choose to be
    Embrace my every burden
    To set me free
    Guided by flames above the surface
    Now justified, I accept my purpose
