TERAVOLT "Waking Up" (2022) Lyrics
Lyrics by Heather McAndress
Music by Yoyo Bianchi & Ben Lechuga
These challenges
Is this who I am?
[Verse 1]
Lived an alternative to myself.
No structure, no boundaries or truth.
Obsessive, directive, been caught between worlds.
Healed damage to manage and nurture my soul.
These challenges forge ways into my chest.
[Chorus]
It’s my time.
My life to define.
It’s my time
It’s my time
No shadows to hide
It’s my time!
[Bridge]
These challenges
Is this who I am?
[Verse 2]
Not wasting dreams, chase what’s valuable.
Dont come undone, for trials less fallible.
Obsessive, directive, been caught between worlds.
Healed damage to manage and nurture my soul.
Could this be all that I am?
[Chorus]
It’s my time.
My life to define.
It’s my time
It’s my time
No shadows to hide
It’s my time!
These challenges…
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
These challenges Is this who I am?
[Verse 3]
Thought to be less, less than and lost,
Forget this mess that now I have tossed.
Obsessive, directive, been caught between worlds.
Healed damage to manage and nurture my soul.
No shadows to hide
[Chorus]
It’s my time.
My life to define.
It’s my time
It’s my time
No shadows to hide
It’s my time!
I’m done with it.
I’m done with it.
I’m done with it.
It's My Time!
Lyrics & Music by Yoyo Bianchi.
[Verse 1]
Calling for help
The old, the new, WE ARE YOU!
Away from home, our final hope is blind
The waters rise, to take our air
they’re planning our demise!
In the wake of tragedy
true colors emerge
Happiness is not fantasy!
it will soon submerge
[Chorus]
Follow me into the deep,
follow me where it’s timeless.
There’s no need for you to weep,
at the bottom we are... BLOODLESS!
[Bridge]
A leap of faith
A dream of home
ignorance and hate,
hearts have turned to stone.
When “no” is the answer,
false hopes and brick walls.
Faceless dancer
walks in empty halls.
[Verse 2]
Give me a reason to forget the unspoken!
Disregarded like a grain of sand,
our future did not go as planned.
Comfort in silence
Skin cold to the touch.
Slowly losing conscience,
humanity not as much.
[Chorus]
Follow me into the deep,
follow me where it’s timeless.
There’s no need for you to weep,
at the bottom we are... BLOODLESS!
[Bridge]
A leap of faith,
a dream of home.
We vanish into grace,
our mouths remaining sewn.
Give me a reason to lie!
choosing different lives.
The time is now to say goodbye
Eternal dreams in sand.
CHURCH OF PAIN
Lyrics by Heather McAndress.
Music by Yoyo Bianchi, Ben Lechuga & Carlos Espinoza.
[Verse 1]
Pending Amends
Resisted but drifted again
Drowning descent
The cycle never ends!
[Bridge]
Cruel obsession
Fuels confessions
I pray for strength to rectify
[Chorus]
My Church of Pain
Represent… Demons I posses!
My Church of Pain
Detriment from troubles I suppress
Church of Pain, Keep Me Sane (x2)
[Verse 2]
Drawn to a fault
Concealing agony
Acting irresponsibly
Routine insanity!
[Bridge]
Rough Redemption
Through conviction
I pray for strength to rectify!
[Chorus]
My Church of Pain
Represent… Demons I posses!
My Church of Pain
Detriment from troubles I suppress
Church of Pain, Keep Me Sane (x2)
WAKING UP
Lyrics by Heather McAndress.
Music by Yoyo Bianchi.
[Verse 1]
Admittance uncommon,
So often a burden,
no less of a problem.
Leaving, not leaning in.
First step to evolving,
With unseen rewards,
dedicate to resolving,
distress that abides in me.
[Chorus]
I’m waking up,
I’ve had enough
This is no life to be living,
My mind was stuck
Took time to cut
Those ties whose lies I believed in
I’m waking up,
I’ve tried my luck
It’s my own faith I’ve been losing
Most days are rough
Feel worthless, but
from here on out I’m refusing.
[Bridge]
I’m here to stay
In time I’ve changed
Released the pain
That held my chains!
For those I’ll pray
Who was betrayed?
Forgive what made
Me lose my way
[Instrumental Break]
Waking up (x2)
Persistence upholding.
Ambition to rise,
to defy the controlling
Impulse that ignites within.
Convictions eroding.
Each moment that time passes by is devoting
my life to what’s right for me.
[CHORUS]
I’m waking up,
I’ve had enough
This is no life to be living,
My mind was stuck
Took time to cut
Those ties whose lies I believed in
I’m waking up,
I’ve tried my luck
It’s my own faith I’ve been losing
Most days are rough
Feel worthless, but
from here on out I’m refusing.
HEAT WAVE
Lyrics by Heather McAndress
Music by Yoyo Bianchi
[Verse 1]
STOP! — Time to describe
Our dawning demise
Few now recognize.
Ice melts to water,
Water turns to rust,
A generation fading into dust.
[Chorus]
Ride the Heat Wave!
Hide the weakness!
Blind & Reckless
See you cower
Im the witness!
Ride the Heat Wave!
Hide the weakness!
Sacred ground, ruin bound.
Consequentially
[Verse 2]
NOW! — Time to recall
Our nature to Fall
But triumph through it all
[Chorus]
Ride the Heat Wave!
Hide the weakness!
Blind & Reckless
See you cower
Im the witness!
Ride the Heat Wave!
Hide the Weakness!
Sacred ground, how can we save?
[Bridge 1]
Centuries ago, unplanned.
Reclaimed the road less traveled.
Memories misunderstand,
The price we had to pay…
[Bridge 2]
Begin again, no longer an option
If only illusion,
could offer solution,
too common, to burden,
insatiable ways defying reason.
Listening in, commit to an action,
instead of desertion.
Defend as protector of,
our future,
unwaivered,
from selfish intention.
[Intrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
STOP! — The time has come
So desperate for some
Who seek to overcome.
Ice melts to water,
Water turns to rust,
A generation fading into dust.
[CHORUS]
Ride the Heat Wave!
Hide the weakness!
Blind & Reckless
See you cower
Im the witness!
Ride the Heat Wave!
Hide the weakness!
Sacred ground, how can we save?
RESTLESS SIN
Lyrics by Heather McAndress
Music by Yoyo Bianchi & Ben Lechuga
[Verse 1]
Believe all we are
Summon a new dawn
To guide us on the run
Awaken mourning sun
[Short Chorus]
Forces arising
Thriving from within
Darkness disguising
Hiding Restless Sin
[Verse 2]
Perceive intention
From light, shadows fall
Embody love is all
[Extended Chorus]
Forces arising
Thriving from within
Darkness disguising
Restless Sin
Forces advising
Bribing innocent
Dare we define our own life?
[Bridge]
Believe all we are
To be all we are
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Receive energy
Drawn from our reverie
May trying minds become
Dividing binds undone
[Extended Chorus]
Forces arising
Thriving from within
Darkness disguising
Restless Sin
Forces advising
Bribing innocent
Dare we define our own life?
[Bridge]
To be all we are
Believe in your heart
NO RISK
Lyrics & Music by Yoyo BIanchi
[Verse 1]
Shortcut for fun
Fast-track to “the one”
worry about it later
today you can have it all!
[Chorus]
They said they’d be NO RISK
The timing is PERFECT
Consuming with NO RISK
The options are ENDLESS
Just sign this line!
[Bridge]
Get them younger
feed their hunger
lifetime business
we are here for you
to make your dreams come true
before it’s time!
[Verse 2]
Short-term satisfaction
all mine with no action
swipe the plastic one more time
brand new person, feelin’ fine!
[Chorus]
They said they’d be NO RISK
The timing is PERFECT
Consuming with NO RISK
The options are ENDLESS
Just sign this lie!
[Instrumental Break]
Cycle of distraction
hide my habits!
The pain of paying
The rush for... MORE!
Sign This
Buy This
Trust us
It's yours!!
[Verse 3]
Recipe for disaster
Kingdom fading faster
Now its time to pay your debt!
Now they see you as a threat!
[Chorus]
They said they’d be NO RISK
The timing is PERFECT
Consuming with NO RISK
The options are ENDLESS
Just sign this line!
DIVIDED WE STAND
Lyrics by Yoyo Bianchi
Music by Yoyo Bianchi & Carlos Espinoza
[Verse 1]
Another day, another story’s out
This time we make them weak,
and stand our ground.
Now, running out of time they’ll try to rig the game
Fear & Rage
Make Them Pay!
[Chorus]
Divided we Stand!
Turning away, turning away
Divided We Stand!
Fight the power
Light the night
Divided We Stand!
[Bridge]
Lend a helping hand,
Do as I command.
Crime is normalized!
Hail the King of Lies!
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Another day, another man is down
If we unite and fight our voices won't be drowned
Think hard and fast, we turn our backs to hate
Rise with pride!
Side by side!
[Chorus]
Divided we Stand!
Turning away, turning away
Divided We Stand!
Fight the power
Light the night
COWARD CROWD
Lyrics by Heather McAndress
Music by Yoyo Bianchi
[Verse 1]
Behold the age of old begins anew,
Gone are days of isolation,
Felt the pains unfold, long overdue,
Though, have ways remained the same?
[Chorus]
Taught to rise above vindictive view,
Yet, instead, provoke reaction.
Desperately, the need to rival you,
When demands remain unchanged.
Hear me!
Fear me!
From the Coward Crowd.
[Verse 2]
So, wield those foolish flags of ignorance,
Only fueling grand deception,
Coward men who serve indifference,
Fail to stand for very long.
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Taught to rise above vindictive view,
Yet, instead, provoke reaction.
Desperately, the need to rival you,
When demands remain unchanged.
Hear me!
Fear me!
From the Coward Crowd.
