| i. Paradoxe de la Lumière Noire | |
| ii. Live, Die, Kill | |
| Consider this question | |
| Look deep inside | |
| Deliver a true confession | |
| What are you willing to live for | |
| Consider this question | |
| Open your eyes | |
| Examine your own reflection | |
| What are you willing to die for | |
| When your back's against the wall | |
| And your time's uncertain | |
| Consider this question | |
| No standing by | |
| When flesh and blood are threatened | |
| What are you willing to kill for | |
| We seek | |
| To understand | |
| We cry | |
| With head in hand | |
| The bridges we build to connect | |
| The distance that makes us forget | |
| Hate dividing us | |
| Love reminding us of our shared humanity | |
| Hope can be a shadow fleeting | |
| I would rather die believing | |
| Chancing it all in a final act of faith | |
| We seek | |
| To understand | |
| We cry | |
| With head in hand | |
| A story that needs to be told | |
| An answer that begs to be found | |
| The beauty we wish to behold | |
| Is never too far away | |
| iii. The Embracing Circle | |
| iv. The Pursuit of Truth | |
| Mothers for their children | |
| Husbands for their wives | |
| Martyrs for the kingdom | |
| Fighting for your life | |
| A soldier for his country | |
| A junkie for the high | |
| Teachers for their students | |
| Vengeance for a crime | |
| Rebels for their freedom | |
| A tyrant for the praise | |
| Cowards for salvation | |
| Money, love and fame | |
| Noble and brave | |
| We lay down our lives for the cause | |
| Death over shame | |
| Grace before glory | |
| v. Surrender, Trust & Passion | |
| To really feel the joy in life | |
| You must suffer through the pain | |
| When you surrender to the light | |
| You can face the darkest days | |
| If you open up your eyes | |
| And you put your trust in love | |
| On thos cold and endless nights | |
| You will never be alone | |
| Passion glows within your heart | |
| Like a furnace burning bright | |
| Until you struggle through the dark | |
| You'll never know that you're alive |
