Verse 1 Once held back by doubts and fears I didn’t know how to escape the life where I’m constantly diminished where I feel unnoticed, left behind Pre-chorus But then I heard a distant call it said it’s time to change it all you are much stronger than you think go and become the one you wanna be Chorus Moving fast at the speed of light a lightning bolt across the sky My past is nothing but a burnout mark My future’s bright like a shooting star Verse 2 Now I’m free I have escaped don’t try to pull me down again You cannot catch what your eyes can’t see And I’ll always be two steps ahead Pre-chorus ‘cause when I heard that distant call I knew that I could change it all I know my powers lie within me I’ll try and become the one I’m meant to be Chorus Moving fast at the speed of light a lightning bolt across the sky My past is nothing but a burnout mark My future’s bright like a shooting star Bridge No more limits and warning signs I have the freedom I always dreamed of Each one of us will have to decide whether to stay on the ground or to reach for the stars Chorus Moving fast at the speed of light a lightning bolt across the sky My past is nothing but a burnout mark My future’s bright like a shooting star I’m moving fast at the speed of light the speed of light I’m moving fast at the speed of light the speed of light yeah

Never Die 04:30
Verse 1 We should seek to achieve something great Something that makes our lives truly resonate Something that leaves an imprint behind A legacy that can keep on living through time Chorus Go leave your mark upon the world This way you’ll never truly die Your memory will live for long And your story will inspire Try making every moment count And let your actions speak for you Leave all the doubts and fears behind Let everyone see what you can do Let everyone see what you can do Verse 2 Don’t waste your time on meaningless things Take charge of your life and just do your best Chase your dreams, accept what tomorrow brings Embrace the journey to enjoy your rest Chorus Go leave your mark upon the world This way you’ll never truly die Your memory will live for long And your story will inspire Try making every moment count And let your actions speak for you Leave all the doubts and fears behind Let everyone see what you can do Bridge 1 Let everything you've started carry on, For the future to be built upon, What you leave will last the test of time, Echoing through the ages, forever sublime. Make your mark while you're still here, So that your memory never disappears, Etch your name on the path you've paved, And let it be forever saved. Chorus Go leave your mark upon the world This way you’ll never truly die Your memory will live for long And your story will inspire Try making every moment count And let your actions speak for you Leave all the doubts and fears behind Let everyone see what you can do Chorus outro Let everything you’ve started carry on For the future to be built upon Make your mark while you’re still here And your memory never disappears

Verse 1 In this realm of fate I’m all alone Abandoned by the world that turned to stone. Once hopeful, now I face the unknown, Left to suffer, left to fight on my own Oh Chorus Won’t you come and save me from this pain? I need your guiding light to help me break these chains Don’t let me fade away into the depths of my despair Just give me a sign, show that someone still cares about me Verse 2 Once I had dreams but they slipped away, Faded like whispers, got lost in the fray. But I'll chase their echoes through the night where they roam, With your help I know I can weather any storm Oh Chorus Won’t you come and save me from this pain? I need your guiding light to help me break these chains Don’t let me fade away into the depths of my despair Just give me a sign, show that someone still cares about me Bridge 2 Don't say it's over, don't let me down, Don't turn away, I need you now. I reach the edge, be the one who cares, Tell me I’m not abandoned in the world so unfair. Chorus Won’t you come and save me from this pain? I need your guiding light to help me break these chains Don’t let me fade away into the depths of my despair Just give me a sign, show that someone still cares Won’t you come and save me from this pain? I need your guiding light to help me break these chains Don’t let me fade away into the depths of my despair Just give me a sign, show that someone still cares about me

In This Life 04:24
Verse 1 We’re so fragile and we just don’t realise that we are here only for a small fraction of time we can’t stop running be it from life or from ourselves focusing on the insignificant things seeing everything in shades of grey Pre-chorus Maybe it’s time to stop relying on some odd chance that there will be a change The world is not gonna be your guardian unless it sees that your part has been played Imagine if tomorrow was your last day would you find use for it or waste it again? Or would you stand tall and just appreciate all that you have and forget your pain? Verse 2 We’re all equal when we are given this life it’s not like someone gets a head start and knows what’s wrong or right There is a purpose each one of us will have to find And sometimes it takes longer than we’d like but it’s no reason to give up Chorus I know nothing lasts forever but I am ready for whatever life throws my way Let’s live, it’s now or never And when the time comes there’ll be no regrets Bridge Yes there is an end and a beginning but there’s so much more in-between let go of your sorrows cause life is rewarding and now it’s becoming so clear Forget all your worries and keep shifting focus ‘Till you find an answer inside No one is perfect we all have our demons that we’ll have to face in this life Chorus I know nothing lasts forever but I am ready for whatever life throws my way Just live, it’s now or never And when the time comes there’ll be no regrets

Verse 1 It’s been forever since I saw the light cause you always stand in front of me and my days have felt like the darkest night there’s no avoiding you it seems I couldn’t move, I couldn’t breathe myself cause it never felt as good as what you do but if there’s anything that’s left of me it needs to rise and be reborn Chorus But I know I’m more than a shadow in the darkness made by you You caused the light to disappear from my life but I know I’ll get through I swear I’ll find a better way to prove that I belong in the world where I mean more than you think I won’t be left in this bitter cold Verse 2 It doesn’t matter that you tried so hard to block the sun from my eyes All that I know is there’s no stopping me cause there’s a flame that burns inside my heart The flame that slowly dissolves the dark and shows me how to be myself I’m not depending on you anymore you won’t eclipse my mind again Verse 2 part 2 oh I’ve wanted to be free for so long but couldn’t cause you blinded me I started to believe I’d never be like you that’s why I shouldn’t even try and get separate Chorus But I know I’m more than a shadow in the darkness made by you You caused the light to disappear from my life but I know I’ll get through I swear I’ll find a better way to prove that I belong in the world where I mean more than you think I won’t be left in this bitter cold Bridge You’ve built so many walls around me but I’ll see the light again I’m smart enough to not fall for your lies though everyone keeps thinking I will fail No one knows me better than I do my eyes have opened to the fact that I’m not like you I have my own goals that I’ll pursue and I won’t be anybody’s fool Chorus But I know I’m more than a shadow in the darkness made by you You caused the light to disappear from my life but I know I’ll get through I swear I’ll find a better way to prove that I belong in the world where I mean more than you think I won’t be left in this bitter cold

Verse 1 Watching the night sky I remember seeing her silhouette and it felt so familiar even though she was lightyears away and I caught myself thinking how do I get there, she’s out of reach but there’s a sense of belonging so my mind’s made up I need to leave. Chorus I see your light through the darkest of nights I’m not afraid of the distance that’s separating me from you I can not be by your side right now but I will try to get to you and become whole again Verse 2 I remember those moments when I felt her light inside my heart and that feeling was calming ‘cause I knew her presence was divine still she’s drawing me closer even though I know she’s far away so I’ll continue my journey even if I have to sacrifice everything Chorus I see your light through the darkest of nights I’m not afraid of the distance that’s separating me from you I can not be by your side right now but I will try to get to you and become whole again It hurts to know there’s so many miles between us two But this pain is something that helps me go on I feel that I’m getting stronger thinking of you and I will reach your everlasting light Bridge 1 It’s like I’m chasing a shadow in the dark but you’re out there I can feel it and you’ll wait for me you beckon me to go on and never stop until I’m bathed in the rays of your shining light Bridge 2 it has been so long since I had a peaceful moment my life feels like I’m running away but I need to calm this worry in my mind and I’ll try to get to you as fast as I can Chorus I see your light through the darkest of nights I’m not afraid of the distance that’s separating me from you I can not be by your side right now but I will try to get to you and become whole again It hurts to know there’s so many miles between us two But this pain is something that helps me go on I feel that I’m getting stronger thinking of you and I will reach your everlasting light

Verse 1: From the depths of my mind, a darkness emerges, A foe that seeks to take control, A wicked force that tries to submerge, My thoughts and soul Pre-Chorus 1: I feel it creeping up on me, Temptation that I can't ignore, A battle that I must foresee, I won't let it take me anymore. Chorus: This is a war against myself, That I will fight with all my might, To rid my mind of this uninvited guest, And to take back what is rightfully mine. Verse 2 I will battle the one I know so well cause This enemy, it lies within me A bitter rival who seeks to quell My hopes and dreams. Pre-Chorus 2: I see the shadows lurking near, A storm that's brewing deep inside, But I will not succumb to fear, I’m not the one who needs to run and hide The battle rages on an on, A struggle that will never end, But I'll keep fighting, I won’t stop, My very being I will defend. Chorus: This is a war against myself, that I will fight with all my might, To rid my mind of this uninvited guest, And to take back what is rightfully mine. Bridge: No more threats that only I can hear, Your voice will be forever silenced by me, I won't compromise, I won't live in fear, I'll take control of my mind with defiance. I will take control Chorus: This is a war against myself, that I will fight with all my might, To rid my mind of this uninvited guest, And to take back what is rightfully mine. This is a battle that I must win, I know my future is on the line, I'll fight the enemy within, I’ll win and leave it all behind

Verse 1 I watch you standing there lost in your own despair You’ve got so much ahead of you but you falter I’ve come to share a simple thought remember battles that you’ve fought embrace your past mistakes but keep going forward Pre-chorus Don’t believe the lies that are clouding your mind You can reach the heights that you dream of Chorus Let me stand by your side as your fire reignites In your thoughts, don’t let the darkness reside I will be your light in the journey through the night Don’t deny yourself the power inside Verse 2 I know you have your doubts Wish you could see through my eyes, see the greatness that you just keep hiding So let me tell you one small thing, you make me strong when I grow weak, you can be so much more than you choose to be now Pre-chorus Don’t believe the lies that just keep you confined You can choose your path if you wish to Chorus But let me stand by your side as your fire reignites In your thoughts, don’t let the darkness reside I will be your light in the journey through the night Don’t deny yourself the power inside Bridge 1 Deep within your being let the walls come crashing down I know that you believe it So you’re gonna go make yourself proud Trust in what you’re doing Don’t hesitate, take a step I will be here for you But it is your choice, do you understand? Bridge 2 Oh the world awaits you (awaits you) Oh the world awaits you (awaits you) Oh the world awaits you (bring your dreams into it) Oh the world awaits you (awaits you) Chorus Let me stand by your side as your fire reignites In your thoughts, don’t let the darkness reside I will be your light in the journey through the night Don’t deny yourself the power inside Ohh the power inside Ohh the light of my life Ohh the power inside Ohh the light of my life

Verse 1 Every day I wake up and I feel something’s wrong like I don’t belong to myself anymore I’m just getting so tired of going against the flow but I can’t let the world turn me into something I’m not Pre-chorus I’m like a twig in the wind trying to keep my integrity (while fighting this pressure from within) it’s all so fast I can’t move but I can’t wait till it all crushes me (I need to get out before I get lost) Chorus I can’t lose control or I’ll become a prisoner of this world of change I’ll make the final stand and let the voice of truth remind me of who I am Verse 2 Every night when I sleep I feel restless and weak cause if I just give in I know my life will be bleak I keep holding this weight of the entire world and it’s taking its toll,I can feel that I’m taking the fall Pre-chorus I’m like a twig in the wind trying to keep my integrity (while fighting this pressure from within) it’s all so fast I can’t move but I can’t wait till it all crushes me (I need to get out before I get lost) Chorus I can’t lose control or I’ll become a prisoner of this world of change I’ll make the final stand and let the voice of truth remind me of who I am All that I’ve become I won’t let it die in vain or get thrown away I have to rise above and try to keep my pace, I won’t be led astray Bridge part 1 I’ll be strong in the face of the change that’s coming I won’t fail, I won’t break ‘cause I’m in control now I’ll be strong in the face of the change that’s coming I won’t fail cause I’m in control Bridge part 2 we can’t always keep up with everything this world offers so we better unite and make the changes ourselves we have to trust each other and help those who seem to falter build ourselves up from scratch and not succumb to this world of change Alt verse I’m just feeling so tired but I can’t let the world turn me into something I’m not Chorus I can’t lose control or I’ll become a prisoner of this world of change I’ll make the final stand and let the voice of truth remind me of who I am All that I have become I won’t let it die in vain or get thrown away I have to rise above and try to keep my pace, I won’t be led astray

Polaris 05:22
Verse 1 it’s a shame we can’t relive some moments from the past when we weren’t sure how to react and ended up hurting ourselves maybe if I took a different turn I would become somebody else and I wouldn’t have said and done the things I might now regret Chorus Cause everyone makes their own mistakes, it’s how we learn (it's how we learn) but you can choose to listen to my story (take what I offer) Your future is still yet to come and I can save you from all the pain So let me help you get the life that you deserve Verse 2 I hope I’ll be forgiven for the things that I’ve done wrong At least now I can share this lesson with you, my friend (share this lesson with you) And all I ask from you is that you try and not forget these words (don't forget these words), these words of wisdom that I have shared Chorus Cause everyone makes their own mistakes, it’s how we learn (it's how we learn) but you can choose to listen to my story (take what I offer) Your future is still yet to come and I can save you from all the pain So let me help you get the life that you deserve I’ve dreamed of this day for so long, tonight I sing this song for everyone who’s lost to find their path I might be a fallen star but you’re the rising sun So let me guide you through the dark (guide you through the dark) Bridge I sing for everyone to find their way for those who need to find their home I speak from my experience so don’t turn away you’ll find a place where you belong a place where you belong Chorus Cause everyone makes their own mistakes, it’s how we learn (it's how we learn) but you can choose to listen to my story (take what I offer) Your future is still yet to come and I can save you from all the pain So let me help you get the life that you deserve We’ve dreamed of this day for so long, tonight we sing this song (I’ve dreamed of this day for so long) for everyone who’s lost to find their path (For everyone who’s lost, who’s lost their path) You might be a fallen star but we’re the rising sun (I might be a fallen star, but you’re the rising sun) So guide us through the dark (I’ll guide you, guide you, guide you through the dark) I’ll guide you through the dark Through the dark

about

The third studio album by Canadian gothic metal band Lodestar.

"people can expect to hear on this album more hard rock influence while still retaining our Doom/Gothic metal sound. In addition we added synth and orchestral elements. This album is uplifting and empowering not only in the music, but also the vocals and lyrical themes. We wanted to touch on the lighter side of life and hope that people feel a connection to some of the songs. The goal was to live up to the band's name and be that inspiration for others who are struggling. If someone listening to this album finds some kind of connection or feels an emotion we have done our job. Its some of the best work the we have done so far. Some songs have gotten more progressive which takes the listener on a journey with some twists and turns. Songs like "Distance To Your Light" and the 10 min long epic "World Of Change" are great examples of this. For fans of the band's doom/gothic metal sound, there is plenty to be found on this album. "Save Me From Fate" and "In Your Shadow" are songs that contrast some of the lighter hard rock songs, and are sure to satisfy people who love our darker sound. We would like to thank Riccardo Pasini from Studio 73 for his talent and skill in making this a well mixed album. It's our second album we have done with him and we will continue to work with him with future albums. Finally, thank you to all of our fans who constantly comment and like on our social media. Your feedback means the world to us, and we also like to thank everyone who takes a chance to listen to this album, be it your first time hearing us or you are an avid listener. We hope this album gives you something to can take away and use it in your own lives, we hope you like it"
