Where should we go from here? Should we escape? The sky is falling Should we just disappear? I think I hear the future calling What should we do this year? We could escape the sky is falling We could just disappear With no regrets, no wait, no stalling

Turn my gaze out to the mountain and across vermilion skies As unfamiliar creatures pass me by Overwhelmed by awe and wonder at the 1st time my eyes seeing, heightened senses now perceiving Chorus: Experience of my innocence In a sense all my understanding has been revealed by experience Experience innocence Innocence of the implications is absent in my experience Sound of waves crashing in the ocean in their perpetual motion Depth of nature's power engulfing me Salty sweetness of the water quenching my mind for ever after Chorus As my time here slips away I can't shake this nagging feeling that I cannot return to this place It pains me more than I can say And despite my best efforts to circumvent the end or linger It's still time to go Buried deep within my consciousness of it I'm unaware but nonetheless these transformations make me who I am And I can no more separate the process from myself than I can undo all the things that set it into motion, into motion strange notion But the inadequate breadth of human understanding cannot grasp the impact of this enigmatic mystery For the moment we begin to understand the nature of the one the other exercises dominance yet unforeseen Chorus You cannot establish control The effort will exact its toll The process will regain control It's all too easy to acquiesce to errant thought and fear we've simply got too much to lose But it's all too often that the things we need to grow, those things we need to grow are things we so seldom choose Chorus

Helpless and hopeless, I struggle in vain The enemy taunts me once again Succumb to temptation, in my degradation Things once held sacred now profane The spirit is willing, the flesh it is weak Any sense of control lost in the end And though my past haunts me, my destiny calls me Save me before I fall again An overwhelming emptiness engulfs my soul My very consciousness becomes my enemy It seems no matter how I try my dark side just won't be denied I'm trapped on the ice I keep falling through Surrounded by vile evil legions entrapped here by the enemy I pray for my deliverance will my prayer go unanswered? How long must I remain held as a prisoner here Mired in depravity and gross inequity? Of all good I've been undiscerning and I feel the pain of endless yearning Do what I can to save what's left of me Time seems to have stopped as I edge ever closer to the void Staring at damnation my soul screams in desperation The father of all lies has me in his sights I will not comply, struggle to defy The source of my weakness: my false independence has blinded me to reality I left myself open to all that could be (and) I felt a change come over me Accepting His presence forsaking my will I realize now I'm truly free Strengthened by promise, suspended by hope I rise to confront the enemy I race against tomorrow to complete my goal Though I will surely die there is no other way Cognizant as I journey on the path I've set my self upon May take me where I'd rather not have strayed Arising from the ashes of my former self I've been set free I'm now who I was meant to be my eyes fixed on eternity Though my heart beat its last I'll not concede defeat I'd gladly rather die than serve the likes of you Though my end may be drawing near I've strangely lost all sense of fear Enrapt by what I know now I must do Untethered by self-preservation, undaunted by impending doom A slave to my will no more I engage my final conflict You have been denied – I will not comply Look into my eyes – no longer defiled

You fancy yourself a hero, keeping infidels at bay Rising from the ashes of Nero in a more covert sort of way With a healthy fear of strangers, unhindered by the truth, the onus is on you Your ends never fail to justify your means though they shape the lens that you look through Your perception of events you've never seen explains why you do the things you do Embark upon your mission to nowhere to a nameless danger zone The enemy is surely out there somewhere, maybe not so far from home Rest assured we're not alone In vain you search for honour, as honour won't find you as troubles often do It's unfortunate but true Pent-up paranoia corrupts the minds of fools and the seed it sows grows into you Led by the great deceiver you seek out unbelievers Confident you'll find someone to carry you home You found a phony leader, struck down some non-believers Then fumbled through the night so they could carry you home Carry you home It's hard to see reality clearly - so much confusion left to undo You really shouldn't take yourself so seriously – just forget what you thought you knew The rest is up to you You surrendered to delusion and now they have you too The prophecy has come true as prophecies often do Though I've tried I fail to see the world through your eyes Where honesty becomes lies and fear wears its thin disguise Yes your path is fraught with danger Led by the great deceiver you sought out unbelievers Confident you'd find someone to carry you home You found a phony leader, struck down some non-believers Then fumbled through the night so they could carry you home Carry you home last time: Then stumbled back to camp so they could carry you home Carry you home

I wish we ruled the world just like we did when we were 17 We had a good run for a while but now it's over Every now and then I catch a glimpse of what the future holds It reminds me of the things we did back then As we move through our lives we move through changes It's funny though, the thing that's stayed the same is the mess that you're in I know it's hard to understand why I left there so long ago How things once held so close began diverging All those things you used to know but never really understood Were keys unlocking secrets trapped inside your mind Now I've become the object of your seeking You'll search your whole life what will you do When you finally find me? Locked in futile old ways You hold the key just unlock the door Set aside the old days Discover what you're living for You thought you'd never see me, thought I'd gone so far away Thought you'd moved on and left me far behind you Your narrow mind could never see the fact was in all honesty I was the one who took the helm not you You ask questions but don't listen for the answers You work so hard to keep your mind closed How can you possibly find me? Trapped inside your old ways You hold the key just unlock the door Take leave of the old days Discover what you're fighting for Locked in futile old ways You hold the key just unlock your door Set aside the old days Discover what you're dying for Set aside the old days Please take my key and unlock your door Take leave of your old ways Is this life you love worth dying for?

I've been confined to this cell for so long I wonder if there really ever was a time When my time was really mine And I don't know how or why I just let my life pass before my eyes Now I can't stop wondering how I got to where I am now Your mind is playing tricks on you In time it transforms what you thought you knew Don't let your demons grow inside you till they've Swallowed your soul Don't think I'll ever find my way home Sometimes I lie awake in the night Wondering what was meant for me If there were any other way I wouldn't have let my freedom just slip away And I'd give all I own to get it back for one single day It's time to distance yourself from your past Resign from all the self doubt you've amassed Soon all your ponderings and wonderings Will have taken their toll Left to our own devices worry will establish control There've been times in my life when quiet moments of truth Have brought me peace in hope and joy Though desperation and strife and dissolution of youth Had left my sense of self destroyed It isn't like I haven't given everything that I am There may be no way back once you've gone... Align yourself with things you know are true There's no salvation in the hell you keep putting yourself through There've been times in my life when quiet moments of truth Have brought me peace in hope and joy Though desperation and strife and separation from youth Had left my sense of self destroyed If I were anybody else I might have made out just fine I'd rather not know how close I came to the end of the line

We should just go my dear Let's go before the past comes calling While we just stagnate here I think I hear the future calling

about

FE3 is the third studio release by Canadian progressive rock band Falling Edge. Three years in the making, the band faced unprecedented setbacks in the creation of this 8 song full length album. Opening and closing tracks "Where Should We Go From Here" and "Where Should We Go From Here (reprise)" frame the remaining songs like bookends opening and closing doors to this exploration of the human journey. Falling Edge listeners will by now be familiar with the band's penchant for longer songs that allow the music to be fully developed in a way that the average length rock or pop song cannot hope to attain, and this album is no exception, featuring 4 songs exceeding 10 minutes in length. Although not strictly by design, the album also features acoustic and classical guitars and an instrumental piece, as did the previous 2 releases. Says the band's composer, guitarist, and vocalist Chris Rupert, "Although I love all of our music, I feel that this is the band's finest work to date. I hope it moves listeners in the way it moved me."
