Birthday music video by The Cruxshadows. Full length!! Please comment and rate!! =PP.
I don't own the music or the images i made this because I like the original over the remixes.
OK First off I apologize for the quality of the video, this was the first time I had used my wife's Nikon Coolpix S205 digital camera to shoot video, it normally takes great photos during the daytime or with adequate lighting.I reviewed the video and this is sub par at best and doesn't do justice to the experience of being at a Cruxshadows concert. I only managed to get 20 minutes as the flash card wasn't very big. I recorded the performance of the following songs. "And I believe", "Valkyrie","As the dark against my halo", "Quicksilver". I hope you can get some enjoyment out of this, and again I apologize for the quality of the video.

As their oxymoronic name suggests, Bad Pollyanna represents a mix of both beauty and darkness. The band explores and celebrates the duality of love, sex and the human condition through music and art. Bad Pollyanna believe you should be whoever you want to be and are proud to support the Sophie Lancaster Foundation in conjunction with makeup brand Illamasqua. With their debut album "Monstrous Child", vocalist Olivia Hyde takes us the journey of a young woman kidnapped by a grieving scientist who uses her to resurrect his deceased lover in the form of a doll - with disastrous consequences. Having being transformed into a monster, she sets out on a journey to discover the meaning of love, and the sweet yet bitter taste of revenge. With the addition of bassist and programmer Nikki Kontinen, Guitarist Stephen Kilpatrick and Drummer Valerian Adore, "Monstrous Child" creates a blend of beautiful harmonies against a backdrop of heavy beats that will take you on a ride through the deepest, darkest reaches of your being. Bad Pollyanna have gained their cult following after sharing stages with Fearless Vampire Killers, The Cruxshadows and former Aiden frontman William Control on 'The Punishment Tour" in August 2014 throughout the UK and Europe. Bad Pollyanna are proudly sponsored by cult make-up brand Illamasqua, with whom they have released the charity single "Invincible Girl" in aid of The Sophie Lancaster Foundation, a charity who helps to promote the message of tolerance towards alternative subcultures, LGBT groups and people with disabilities in schools and in prisons. https://www.facebook.com/badpollyanna?fref=ts www.badpollyanna.com www.illamasqua.com www.sophielancasterfoundation.com https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fargo-tours/185041498223569?fref=ts https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fargo-Promotions/285834558217312?fref=ts fargotourseu@gmail.com

The Examiner 2012-10-11The Crüxshadows ( /ˈkruːʃædoʊz/) is an Dark Electro group from Florida. Their sound is made up of a combination of male vocals, electric violin, guitar, and synth. Centered around vocalist and songwriter Rogue, The Crüxshadows blend 1980s inspired synthpop and modern rock with introspective lyrics.
The band has enjoyed global popularity, releasing CDs worldwide and touring extensively throughout North America, Europe, and Asia.
For much of the band's career, they have been available through Dancing Ferret Discs, an independent label based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 2009 the band formed partnerships with several labels and distributors that allowed them to create their own imprint, Wishfire Records. Lyrically much of The Crüxshadows' music draws its influence and subject matter from mythology, religion, history, and dreams. Often referred to with the acronym CXS, their motto is Live Love Be Believe.
The band was originally formed in 1992 by Rogue, Sean Flanagan, and Tim Curry, in Tallahassee, Florida. The Cruxshadows' debut album, ...night crawls in, was self-released under the "Black Widow Music" label in 1993, followed by their first CD release, Telemetry of a Fallen Angel, in 1996. Telemetry earned them a fair amount of recognition and produced the band's first signature song, Marilyn, My Bitterness. In 1997 they signed a short-lived record deal with Nesak International. Flanagan and Curry left the band a few months later. Toward the end of 1997, The Cruxshadows interests were transferred to Dancing Ferret Discs, and Telemetry became the new label's first release. Rogue assembled a new musical lineup and recorded The Mystery of the Whisper, Paradox Addendum and Until the Voices Fade... (1998–2000).
(dry your eyes)
(dry your eyes)
(dry your eyes)
(dry your eyes)
(dry your eyes)
Dry your eyes and quietly bear this pain with pride
For heaven shall remember the silent and the brave
And promise me they will never see, the fear within our eyes
(my eyes are closed)
We will give strength to those who still remain
So bury fear, for fate draws near
And hide the signs of pain
With noble acts, the bravest souls
Endure the heart's remains
Discard regret, that in this debt
A better world is made
That children of a newer day might remember
And avoid our fate
And in the fury of this darkest hour
We will be your light
You've asked me for my sacrifice
And I am Winterborn
Without denying, a faith is come
That I have never known
I hear the angels call my name
And I am Winterborn
Hold your head up high-for there is no greater love
Think of the faces of the people you defend
(you defend)
And promise me, they will never see the tears within our eyes
(my eyes are closed)
Although we are men, with mortal sins, angels never cry
So bury fear, for fate draws near
And hide the signs of pain
With noble acts, the bravest souls
Endure the heart's remains
Discard regret, that in this debt
A better world is made
That children of a newer day might remember
And avoid our fate
(prepare for battle)
And in the fury of this darkest hour
We will be your light
You've asked me for my sacrifice
And I am Winterborn
Without denying, a faith in God
That I have never known
I hear the angels call my name
And I am Winterborn
And in the fury of this darkest hour
I will be your light
A lifetime for this destiny
For I am Winterborn
And in this moment..I will not run
It is my place to stand
We few shall carry hope
Within our bloodied hands
(bloodied hands)
And in our dying
We're more alive, than we have ever been
I've lived for these few seconds
For I am Winter-born
And in the fury of this darkest hour
We will be the light
You've asked me for my sacrifice
And I am Winter born
Without denying, a faith in man
That I have never known
I hear the angels call my name
And I am Winterborn
Within this moment
I am for you, though better men have failed
I will give my life for love
For I am Winter-born
And in my dying
I'm more alive than I have ever been
I will make this sacrifice
For I am winterborn
With watching eyes
You see dreams dissolving
Distant voices slipping away
I have to go - I hear
The call of something deeper
A voice inside of me
And tears return
Beneath the happy ending
Promised words that scattered
In the cold
I have to leave, I hear
The call of something higher
Something young becoming old
I can't stay here any longer
Trapped here by the rain
I can't stay here any longer
Waiting for this train
I'm waiting for the last train
Out of nowhere
I'm waiting for the last train
On the line
Some people say that I will
Never leave here..
But I have to go this time
I'm waiting for the last train
Bound for somewhere
I'm playing with my last chance
On the line
I think it's really now or never
You know I have to try...
My sympathies,
Are wasted on regretting
Why not come with me?
I have to go - I hear
The call of something stronger
And it's pulling me away
I can't stay here any longer
Trapped here by the rain
I can't stay here any longer
Waiting for this train
I'm waiting for the last train
Out of nowhere
I'm waiting for the last train
On the line
Some people say that I will
Never leave here..
But I have to go this time
I'm waiting for the last train
Bound for somewhere
I'm playing with my last chance
On the line
I think it's really now or never
You know I have to try...
I've been running around in circles
Without any direction
I've been searching hard to find
Who I really am..
I've been running around in circles
Without any direction
I've been lost here for so long
I've forgotten who I am..
I'm waiting for the last train
Out of nowhere
I'm waiting for the last train
On the line
Some people say that I will
Never leave here..
But I have to go this time
I'm waiting for the last train
Bound for somewhere
I'm playing with my last chance
On the line
I think it's really now or never
You know I have to try...
Where the light burns a little brighter
where the shadows dance on the walls
where holy men hide their holy secrets
the sacredness of life is sold
standing under gold and silver
I see the procession rise
seated in his thrown of power
he proceeds to close his eyes
They try but the stone has broken
they try but the ceiling falls
they try but there's no momentum
they try but don't we all
na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na,
na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
I lost sight of the raging waters
Below the surface where I lay
Fractures slip like ghosting fish
Below my fingertips
I watched the days in proud procession
Upon the icy pools above
And saw the stars like distant fires
That follow each day through
Cold dawn in the world that I made
Cold water and chiseled stone
Maybe time will one day find me
Maybe then I'll get back home
Cold dawn in a world that I made
My memories are all I know
So if you're searching, I'm still waiting
Where is time to bring me home
I don't want to be here
I don't need to be here
I don't want to be here
I don't need to be here
Cold dawn in the world that I built
Cold water and chiseled stone
Maybe time will one day find me
Maybe then I'll get back home
Cold dawn in a world that I made
My memories are all I know
So if you're searching, I'm still waiting
Where is time to bring me home
I drew regret with a dull blue pencil
Deep beneath the danger's mark
It left me here below the ocean
Below the wreckage of my heart
And now I breathe this cold dead water
No time to give what others steal
No song of life to make things better
No warmth in love for me to feel
Cold dawn in the world that I built
Cold water and chiseled stone
Maybe time will one day find me
Maybe then I'll get back home
Cold dawn in a world that I made
Where memories are all I know
So if you're searching, I'm still waiting
Where is time to bring me home
(overlapping)
Cold dawn
Waiting for the night to come
I don't need to be here
[chorus]
Where is time to bring me home
(dry your eyes)
(dry your eyes)
(dry your eyes)
(dry your eyes)
(dry your eyes)
Dry your eyes and quietly bear this pain with pride
For heaven shall remember the silent and the brave
And promise me they will never see, the fear within our eyes
(my eyes are closed)
We will give strength to those who still remain
So bury fear, for fate draws near
And hide the signs of pain
With noble acts, the bravest souls
Endure the heart's remains
Discard regret, that in this debt
A better world is made
That children of a newer day might remember
And avoid our fate
And in the fury of this darkest hour
We will be your light
You've asked me for my sacrifice
And I am Winterborn
Without denying, a faith is come
That I have never known
I hear the angels call my name
And I am Winterborn
Hold your head up high-for there is no greater love
Think of the faces of the people you defend
(you defend)
And promise me, they will never see the tears within our eyes
(my eyes are closed)
Although we are men, with mortal sins, angels never cry
So bury fear, for fate draws near
And hide the signs of pain
With noble acts, the bravest souls
Endure the heart's remains
Discard regret, that in this debt
A better world is made
That children of a newer day might remember
And avoid our fate
(prepare for battle)
And in the fury of this darkest hour
We will be your light
You've asked me for my sacrifice
And I am Winterborn
Without denying, a faith in God
That I have never known
I hear the angels call my name
And I am Winterborn
And in the fury of this darkest hour
I will be your light
A lifetime for this destiny
For I am Winterborn
And in this moment..I will not run
It is my place to stand
We few shall carry hope
Within our bloodied hands
(bloodied hands)
And in our dying
We're more alive, than we have ever been
I've lived for these few seconds
For I am Winter-born
And in the fury of this darkest hour
We will be the light
You've asked me for my sacrifice
And I am Winter born
Without denying, a faith in man
That I have never known
I hear the angels call my name
And I am Winterborn
Within this moment
I am for you, though better men have failed
I will give my life for love
For I am Winter-born
And in my dying
I'm more alive than I have ever been
I will make this sacrifice
A hidden voice beneath the thunder
Cascades whispers reaching down
A life less perfect in its living
Is to real purpose summoned now
As dream carved eyes sing empathy
With wings made mortal to the search
For essence weighed in temples raged
Ascend the fires and salted earth
I can see the message breathing still
I can hear the voices sounding deep inside
I can feel the hero rising up above the silence
Your soul remembers yet
The path that men forgot
I bring the winds to free you from your hesitation
I call the storms to remind you what you are
My faith endures for the sake of something less and more in them
And so I bring the winds, to echo in your heart...
Drifting scenes of shameful things
To haunt corrupted will
The lion pacing at the edge
Guards the keep that faith once built
Find constitution in your soul...
A vessel for your light
Eyes drift toward the northern fires
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small
When men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving slow
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "Off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said;
"Feed your head
In this fading image
we'll carve our own destiny
sometimes life is a cruel friend
sometimes that's what we need
I'll hold my eyes, when the
light comes in
I'll sell my silence for a song
now I won't die if you walk away
but I may not live
Now I watch as the rain comes down
to purify this pain
when mountains crumble and
stars collide
I am what remains
There are lessons that sadness
can only teach
there are things that we must learn
now I won't die if you walk away
Sorrow sings
her kisses in silence
and adjusts the blinds to keep the light
from mocking everything I feel
She dances slowly
a silhouette upon the curtains
but her eyes seem to cry
only empty tears
I beg for comfort with inadequate verse
it meant so much to me.... and so little to her
and I am sinking into a mountain of self pity
why can't I simply disregard all the things I feel?
"where is my angel,"
"where is my angel,"
"where is my angel, when I need him most?"
"where is my angel,"
"where is my angel,"
"where is my angel, tell me now where did he go?"
Na, na na na na, na
Na, na na na na
I do not know the mind of God and I cannot guess his thoughts
But I have searched for you across the void when my sense of self was lost
The answer stands to brush my grasp in the darkness and the pain
And I saw myself for all I am, the decisions I have made
With hearts immortal, we stand before our lives
A soul against oblivion, forever asking why
This upside down symphony in a paradox called life
Our hearts immortal
What you give to love, will never die
Na, na na na na, na
Na, na na na na
And when my ashes scatter here with my memories to the wind
What endures beyond the silent edge is the essence found within
Have we forgotten truly who we are and what our living means
Our purpose lies in others eyes and the realities that we bring
With hearts immortal, we stand before our lives
A soul against oblivion, forever asking why
This upside down symphony in a paradox called life
Our hearts immortal
What you give to love, will never die
All that I am
And all that I dream
Lives somewhere beyond
Your image of me
And who I become
And what I will be
Is not yours to decide
It comes only from me
One, two, ready, go
Na, na na na na, na
Na, na na na na
With hearts immortal, we stand before our lives
A soul against oblivion, forever asking why
This upside down symphony in a paradox called life
Our hearts immortal
What you give to love, will never die
With hearts immortal, we stand before our lives
A soul against oblivion, forever asking why
This upside down symphony in a paradox called life
Our hearts immortal
What you give to love, will never die
Our hearts immortal, we stand before our lives
A soul against oblivion, forever asking why
This upside down symphony in a paradox called life
Our hearts immortal
What you give to love, will never die
And if you find your Ilium
And if you find your Troy
I hope you feel the pain I felt
Twice upon your sword + Aeneas on your noble hands
My life shall stain with blood
Let Dido's curse rest in the mind
A shade begot by love
Carthage shall this grudge recall
Upon your seven hills
And nothing less than misery
Will remind you who you killed + And though you will hate I suffer now
The truth is deeper still
For I love you with my dying breath
And I know I always will
Beyond this world into the next
I know I always will...
You've played this hand, refused to stand
has dignity dissolved?
How far away I heard you say
In empathy devolved-
You cast your heart two worlds apart
and lost sight of your soul
But the sun will rise with cleaner eyes
That you pretend to know...
I stood here waiting for so long
I stood here praying I was wrong.
You said that we could last forever, forever and a day.
You said that we could last forever, if only I would stay-
I know, within your soul, the light fights trough the rain
But if you promise me forever, I know that it's in vain.
If silence slips from sacred (God's own) lips
Shall the world un-become.
The tears of saints in blood you paint
A cowards word is none
And with no voice you forfeit choice
and crucify your thoughts
But see a face in tortured grace
Whose eyes belonged to God
I stood here waiting for so long
I stood here praying I was wrong.
You said that we could last forever, forever and a day.
You said that we could last forever, if only I would stay-
I know, within your soul, the light fights trough the rain
but now a promise of forever, won't take away the pain.
Sangrael, sangrael
A lovers cup before a wishing well
Sangrael, sangrael
Where all who thirst shall drink
Sangrael, sangrael
From heavens height to the depths of hell
Sangrael, sangrael
All who thirst shall drink
I stood here waiting for so long
I stood here praying I was wrong.
You said that we could last forever, forever and a day.
You said that we could last forever, if only I would stay-
I know, within your soul, the light fights trough the rain
But if you promise me forever, I know that it's in vain.
You said that we could last forever, forever and a day.
You said that we could last forever, if only I would stay-
I know, within your soul, the light fights trough the rain
but now a promise of forever, won't take away the pain.
With watching eyes
You see dreams dissolving
Distant voices slipping away
I have to go - I hear
The call of something deeper
A voice inside of me
And tears return
Beneath the happy ending
Promised words that scattered
In the cold
I have to leave, I hear
The call of something higher
Something young becoming old
I can't stay here any longer
Trapped here by the rain
I can't stay here any longer
Waiting for this train
I'm waiting for the last train
Out of nowhere
I'm waiting for the last train
On the line
Some people say that I will
Never leave here..
But I have to go this time
I'm waiting for the last train
Bound for somewhere
I'm playing with my last chance
On the line
I think it's really now or never
You know I have to try...
My sympathies,
Are wasted on regretting
Why not come with me?
I have to go - I hear
The call of something stronger
And it's pulling me away
I can't stay here any longer
Trapped here by the rain
I can't stay here any longer
Waiting for this train
I'm waiting for the last train
Out of nowhere
I'm waiting for the last train
On the line
Some people say that I will
Never leave here..
But I have to go this time
I'm waiting for the last train
Bound for somewhere
I'm playing with my last chance
On the line
I think it's really now or never
You know I have to try...
I've been running around in circles
Without any direction
I've been searching hard to find
Who I really am..
I've been running around in circles
Without any direction
I've been lost here for so long
I've forgotten who I am..
I'm waiting for the last train
Out of nowhere
I'm waiting for the last train
On the line
Some people say that I will
Never leave here..
But I have to go this time
I'm waiting for the last train
Bound for somewhere
I'm playing with my last chance
On the line
I think it's really now or never
She whispers her apologies
Her eyes shining stars in the sky
Then turning like mist, she's gone again
I don't understand why
And now that it's broken and the last facade is burned
How do I find my balance when the Earth won't turn
You can try to deny it
What a dreamer like me might feel
You can say it's all in my head
But I know that it's real
I don't remember the words that we said
All I can focus on is the infinite death that divides
us now instead
I don't remember the words that we said
All I can think about is the infinite death that
divides us here instead
And now that it's broken and the last facade is burned
How do I find my balance when the Earth won't turn
I don't remember the words that we said
All I can focus on is the infinite death that divides
us now instead
I don't remember the words that we said
All I can think about is the infinite death that
divides us here instead
I don't remember the words that we said
All I can think about is the infinite death that
divides us here instead
Master, Master, Master
Who can it be?
A portrait of perfect
Femininity
Your teeth are sharp
And your nails are too
Master, Master
I won't mess with you
Oh master makes the velvet touch so smooth
Her skin makes my company [flutter and move]
I want her
I want her so much
Oh master, master give me the touch
Master, Master, Master
Your skin is so smooth
It pulls beneath my tongue
With its slight grooves
We want to make your heart
Beat quickly love
Fall into the pattern
Of the raptures run
Master, Master let me take this now
You're a little scared
Let me show you how
We'll lie like the angels in this heavenly...
And dance with fire in the patterns...
We stand behind this wall
With this black face
And black hammer
Protects the beating heart
And leave the blood to sour in her veins
Is the myth she offers warmer
Than the one we abandoned
When the door is opened for us?
The answer and the question
Are always one and the same.
Master, Master, Master
Desperate measures strike
I need to make you make me
Feel real life
Rich to the taste
So sweet the peace
Dancer, dancer
Sexuality
Master, Master come and save me now
Take my consciousness and extract my doubt
I want to, I want to, I want to so much
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, give me the touch
My eyes resign dissolving vision
To vividness of sense and sequence
Betrayed by certain circumstances
Outside the world I've known
How cold and cut bewildered silence
Left me for a newer face
While sadness dances gracefully
In this forgotten place
Regardless of the introspection
I found myself in your reflection
I guess it's all too easy now
To look the other way
Saving graces, trading places
Asking for a sense of hope
But the line to heaven's ringing busy
And I walk this path alone
What kind of sick games were we playing?
No rules, no constitution
No sympathy for one another
And nowhere left to go
Regardless of the introspection
I see myself in your reflection
I guess it makes it easier
To turn your eyes away
And I'm not asking you to lie and tell me
That you love me still
I know that it's untrue
(I know that it's untrue)
So I'm not asking you to lie and tell me that
You want me too
I know that it's untrue
(I know that it's untrue)
Saving secrets unembellished
Left without revision
Sacrosanct and underground
Why do I need you so?
(Why do I need you so?)
And sentiment was none-too-careful
Delivering the means
To break the balance of perfection
And eliminate these dreams
Regardless of the introspection
I see myself in your reflection
I guess it makes it easier
To turn your eyes away
And I'm not asking you to lie and tell me that
You love me still
I know that it's untrue
(I know that it's untrue)
So I'm not asking you to lie and tell me that
You want me too
I know that it's untrue
(I know that it's untrue)
So what do I do?
What do I do?
I still love you..
Life is such a tangled mess
With cruel lines dividing us
I don't want to be
On the other side from you
And I'm not asking you to lie and tell me that
You love me still
I know that it's untrue
(I know that it's untrue)
So I'm not asking you to lie and tell me that
You want me too
I know that it's untrue
My body’s made of fire
black and deep and cold
burning for the choice i made
so many years ago
And love will keep me tethered
for my wings are stripped of flight
but into my mad deluded world
they cross the battle lines
into their end
One dream of God
One dream of less
one dream of strength and cowardice
with the rage of the seraphs at my side
One dream of man
one dream of hate
one dream of love
one dream of hate
with the rage of the seraphs at my side
The punishments I carry now
are of my own design
for once I brought the hand of God
Somewhere in the darkness I stand
Watching and waiting again
Somwewhere in the darkness she cries
And I hear the silent cry
The silence
Her lips are cold like death
And she steals away my last breath
As I reach into her soul
And coldly let her go
I let her
Her lips are cold like death
And she steals away my last breath
As I reach into her soul
And coldly let her go
I let her go
Somewhere in the darkness I stand
Watching and waiting again
Somewhere in the darkness she cries
And I hear the silent cry
The silence
Her lips are cold like death
And she steals away my last breath
As I reach into her soul
And coldly let her go
I let her
Her lips are cold like death
And she steals away my last breath
As I reach into her soul
And coldly let her go
I let her
Now I feel it moving to light
different faces going still
Down in back with all this fight
Till nothing else matters tonight
Glance back and glance back through
With all they see
You have to let me know
Cut hold
Cut tight
Tragic faces
Different fight
Send a shockwave
Home
Ripping close
And gripping god
Gripping god
Her lips are cold like death
And she steals away my last breath
As I reach into her soul
And coldly let her go
I let her
Her lips are cold like death
And she steals away my last breath
As I reach into her soul
And coldly let her go
I let her go
I let her go
I let her go
Languid waves of desperation
Fall before the rains
A vanguard to approaching war
Is borne upon the sea
The icy breath of cyclones bent
On waging our destruction
Drills hard against the hearts of heroes
Called here to defend
And I see storms on the horizon
I see the tempest at the gates
I see storms on the horizon
And a citadel alone
Clinging brave, defying fate
And I will stand here
At the gates to face
The onslaught fighting
Without surrender or defeat
With Troy besieged by tyrants' greed
In Hector's memory, God willing
We shall save this victory
Without surrender or defeat
Sudden silence, I realize
Breaking teardrops in the rain
With every breathing moment
The pillars are sustained
And waking hands attached to nothing
Tightly clutching close
Each sleeping vision speaks unheard
And heaven only knows
Paris' arrow landed true
Paris' arrow landed true
Paris' arrow landed true
Down upon your heel
This Troy
She will not fall again
This Troy
She will not fall
Rewind - I only want to listen to you sleep.
Do you dream of places close to me?
I don't know how to make this right
I never thought I'd ever breathe so tight.
Confusing, the issues underneath,
I don't know how to find this place,
Locked in a box inside a cage far away,
Singing songs for rainy days.
And I want to tell you...
But words so clumsy are not my friends,
They starve these thoughts when they begin.
And I still need you to know...
But my lips are tightly holding back.
The sentiment inside is lying trapped.
Higher, higher than the skies above,
And deeper than the cells within.
I love you more than theese,
And I love you more than they do
Three splinters hide below this shell,
Where yesterday provided me this hell.
And left me, lifeless, empty.
And you're asking for more than I can give,
But it takes so much air for us to live.
And I want to tell you...
But words so clumsy are not my friends,
They starve these thoughts when they begin.
And I, I need you to know...
But my lips are tightly holding back,
The sentiment inside is lying trapped.
And I want to see, your eyes when you kissing me...
Completely, I understate my haunted dreams.
I really don't want to sleep just yet -
I think about this... as I lie in bed.
Let me forget, the color of my death.
I know it's not fair to live this way.
Still I've said about as much as I can say,
And I would, take it all back if I could...
And I want to tell you...
But words so clumsy are not my friends,
They starve these thoughts when they begin.
And I, I need you to know...
But my lips are tightly holding back,
The sentiment inside is lying trapped.
And I want to tell you...
But words so clumsy are not my friends,
They starve these thoughts when they begin.
And I, I need you to know...
But my lips are tightly holding back,
If your love is marred by anger
perhaps it wears a mask
and underneath those hollow eyes
a prisoner is cast
but grief will buy you nothing
and pity a little less
open up the cage you carry and release yourself from this
once we have a promise
twice we have a curse
three times is impossible
and four times even worse
once we have an accident
twice we have a fault
three times is delinquent
and four times is the fall
I will stay here
if you believe
I will remain
if you believe
If time and tide refuse to wait
remind them who they are
each second drained from the hour-glass
is born a distant star
and sorrow is not reaching out
its only lying in your heart
so if you're sailing in unhappy seas
bid the storms depart
when I sleep I dream in billions of colors...
billions of colors, am I not real?
If time and tide refuse to wait
remind them who they are
each second drained from the hour-glass
is born a distant star
when birds are bent in windy skies
the foolish ones will land
live each moment with a savored taste
look beyond the mind of man
but grief will buy you nothing
and pity a little less
open up the cage you carry and release yourself from this
Is God a machine?
like you, like me,
wont you tell me please
The trial is set before us
And it's hard understand
The mechanics of this world we tread
The potential in our hands
Truth is born in uncertain stages
And in turn life will reveal
That though we stand before the crown
The future is concealed
So we must move to face our enemies
And to each of us, his own
Perspectives change across the board
As the last among us knows
And I am proud of what I've sacrificed
And I am proud of what I've saved
In commitment to a greater good strength grows from splintered faith
And if the darkness falls upon me
In the silence of my heart
And if the world turns to abandon
I will not fall apart
For I believe in something deeper
Than the physics that we share
And I will strive with all my power
To reach the 8th and final square
For in every evil and every loss
A finer verity unfolds
You are free to face this trepidation
And with your weakness grow
For the strongest bones are broken
And the soul needs to redeem
With courage face the thing you fear
So the pawn becomes the queen
And if the darkness falls upon me
In the silence of my heart
And if the world turns to abandon
I will not fall apart
For I believe in something deeper
Than the physics that we share
And I will strive with all my power
To reach the 8th and final square
I go inside the darkness
I go within the light
I find the open spaces
I see reflections of tomorrow
And a story becoming life
I see the sum of every perfect thought
Unlocked within my mind
Can our dream survive a thousand lies?
To linger when we die
Can a promise last forever?
When lifetimes intertwine
For in your hand my essence rests
As does your spirit mine
My dearest friend
My deepest love
The sentiment divine
I can be certain
There's nowhere else to be
Than in your arms
When the world comes down on me
I can believe it
And give myself away
To face our every burden
With a promise made on our wedding day
Darkness is an angel's bow
Like an anchor to the heart
Casting arrows into the snow
Unknowing where you are
And if a promise is forever
Words that can forget
Then it lives within the heart of God
A love without regret
I can be certain (and can you see?)
There's nowhere else to be (what you mean to me)
Than in your arms
When the world belongs to me
I can believe it (and I believe)
And give myself away (in you and me)
To live out every moment
The wind has wrenched all hands away
And ripped and torn the sail
But the sea grows somewhat calmer
As storms ply against the hull
Still I hope that time has something left
To show that I was here
Before sinking into oceans
Of blurred forgotten years
My intention is a stranger moment
Apart from the world we share
And all of our enchanted musings
Fell lost between the here
And the there
The lights upon the farthest plain
Ascending with the storms
Where children and dreamers separate
And a gulf within us forms
And I hope when they replay the verse
Our tongues fell deep to speak
The words are less confusing
And the rhythm not so weak
But my intention is a stranger moment
Apart from the world we share
And all our hopes of happiness
Survive, between the here
I lost sight of the raging waters
Below the surface where I lay
Fractures slip like ghosting fish
Below my fingertips
I watched the days in proud procession
Upon the icy pools above
And saw the stars like distant fires
That follow each day through
Cold dawn in the world that I made
Cold water and chiseled stone
Maybe time will one day find me
Maybe then I'll get back home
Cold dawn in a world that I made
My memories are all I know
So if you're searching, I'm still waiting
Where is time to bring me home
I don't want to be here
I don't need to be here
I don't want to be here
I don't need to be here
Cold dawn in the world that I built
Cold water and chiseled stone
Maybe time will one day find me
Maybe then I'll get back home
Cold dawn in a world that I made
My memories are all I know
So if you're searching, I'm still waiting
Where is time to bring me home
I drew regret with a dull blue pencil
Deep beneath the danger's mark
It left me here below the ocean
Below the wreckage of my heart
And now I breathe this cold dead water
No time to give what others steal
No song of life to make things better
No warmth in love for me to feel
Cold dawn in the world that I built
Cold water and chiseled stone
Maybe time will one day find me
Maybe then I'll get back home
Cold dawn in a world that I made
Where memories are all I know
So if you're searching, I'm still waiting
Where is time to bring me home
(overlapping)
Cold dawn
Waiting for the night to come
I don't need to be here
[chorus]
Hear the voice of the unremembered heart
Hear the silence between each word
Black and white divided grays that cut between us
Filled with broken shards of promised days
I'm standing far ahead
Always looking backwards
I'm standing far behind
With eyes fixed on tomorrow
Breathe in deep, and open your heart again
The fire burns where the embers fall
So love, in spite of the pain you feel
For the lives we live - follow after all
Where are the artists and the prophets?
Lost below the wheels of this machine..
Because money drives the vanity of human culture
But emotion fuels our hope and feeds our dreams
They dance upon the water
They dance upon the fire
They dance upon the stony ground
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulcher
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yes!- that was the reason
(as all men know, In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we-
Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride,
In the sepulcher there by the sea,
He cast you to this isolation
without the spark that made life real
Nothing lost below the mourning
Nothing moves and nothing feels
Your distant eyes filled up with longing
Who steals the dignity within?
Black sails fade from the horizon
and take away your innocence
It doesn't have to end this way
he filled your head with make believe
No time to cry so wake up
Ariadne
It doesn't have to be this way
You define what you believe
Take hold of your destiny
Remember... what's inside
So cautiously you walk the dawning
searching through deserted dreams
he used your love, he used your body
and then discarded everything
Your wanting eyes filled up with silence
to find the dignity within
to free the world beyond regretting
beyond the grays of innocence
Step inside and feel division
words make the delusion real
Truth is not alive in knowledge
but dead within the lies we deal
Theseus will break your heart
Theseus will break your heart
What your life has failed to grant you
live to claim, and claim to live
So many paths lead to tomorrow
What love has lost
can you forgive?
It doesn't have to end this way
he filled your head with make believe
No time to cry so wake up
Ariadne
It doesn't have to be this way
You define what you believe
Take hold of your destiny
(rise Akhetaten)
I made the monument by his hand
a drifting sun in a foreign land
ATEN-RA, ANKH-IS-RA
IS-RA, IS-RA, ISRAEL
Angel of the One
his face has been denied
from all inscriptions
but not from the sky
ATEN-RA, ANKH-IS-RA
IS-RA, IS-RA, ISRAEL
Who is God?
His name defies belief
for no One less wrought in Heresy?
ATEN-RA, ANKH-IS-RA
IS-RA, IS-RA, ISRAEL
ATEN-RA, ANKH-IS-RA
IS-RA, IS RA ISRAEL?
ATEN-RA, ANKH-IS-RA
The lines are clear with tomorrow standing against me
And I am silent as I face my fears alone
Responsibility weighing down upon my shoulders
When all that I needed in a heartbeat is taken from me
The truth is unclear if you close your eyes too tightly
What dream is life spun like silver to the night
Don't wake me up and do not let me go
And if the world falls from the sky
Shall we like the altlas rise
If time collapses to this end
Beneath the avalanche
With love like pages stripped away
My heart must find another way
Courage comes from circumstance
Beneath the avalanche
And I fear the sky is falling
It's the price we pay if we act with our convictions
But the faces I see still believe me too naive
We are not lost or forgotten to our conscience
When all that we need for survival we carry inside
The truth is unclear if you close your eyes too tightly
What dream is life spun like silver to the night
Don't wake me up and do not let me go
And if the world falls from the sky
Shall we like the altlas rise
If time collapses to this end
Beneath the avalanche
With love like pages stripped away
My heart must find another way
Courage comes from circumstance
Beneath the avalanche
And I fear the sky is falling
I will not fall before you
I will not grovel at your feet
I will not let you crush me
My will is stronger than you think
And if the world falls from the sky
Shall we like the altlas rise
If time collapses to this end
Beneath the avalanche
With love like pages stripped away
My heart must find another way
Courage comes from circumstance
dreams lie shattered shards endure now the wraiths
her mind possess like shells of precious flowers
dried out and hung with love
making eyes into frozen temples that stale you in her gaze
so pale so cold so beautiful if not clinicly insane
now the decades pass unanswered and she prays with silent lips
sometimes she talks to angels when she has her little fits
but you must believe in something
sometimes that somethings real
sometimes our motivations are tied up in what we feel
so elegant her poetry falls from her pallid lips
she slows like icy roadways when the wheels start to slip
and if her course lays waste to this away
a prayer to your design
her minions shall dance your dreaming eyes and sing her fragile rhymes
(chorus)
Ave Maria
just give us something
but its lost on deafened ears
ave maria
just give us something to ears that cannot hear
(chorus)
Ave Maria
just give us something
but its lost on deafened ears
ave maria
she's saying something to ears that cannot hear
ave maria
just give us something
but its lost on deafened ears
ave maria
Shades of feelings my heart denies
bathing in shadows hidden in the eyes of lies
my glowing future now these embers burn
uncanny restlessness- but ask me what I've learned......
prey insect visions swarm about my head
each haunted thought, and each prying wedge
slice ripping pieces and shredding pages of life
if this is real- well it feels like hell! yes it feels like Hell!
gods and angels and devils smile
stare into our crying eyes
fire in anger and hate beguile
but look into your heart tonight
We disregard the cold pedestrian grey
where level playing fields weren't meant for us to play
as riddled failings salvation turns away
if this is real- well it feels like hell! yes it feels like Hell!
gods and angels and devils smile
stare into our crying eyes
fire in anger and hate beguile
stare into your heart tonight
gods and angels and devils smile
stare into our crying eyes
fire in anger and hate beguile
Your eyes
they often lie
and leave me feeling
misunderstood
our tragedy
plays out like a symphony
a breath and a whisper
are your clues
inside we shake
because we're afraid
but we're certainly not afraid of you
these dreams instead
who live like a blanket
has smothered me but still left me warm
I don't need sympathy
or your apologies
why don't you understand?
the face you see
well it belongs to me
and I'm doing the best I can.....
just to make you smile
just to make you smile
again.....
Faith, we're acting on courage alone
what will they do
when that's all through?
dance in the dark
sleeve pinned with a heart
just to let you know
that we're in pain
I don't want sympathy
or your apologies
why don't you understand?
the face you see
well it belongs to me
and I'm doing the best I can.....
just to make you smile
just to make you smile
again.....
every now and then you have to see
that the wall we've built has landed on me
every now and then why don't we pretend
that things will come together in the end
every now and then just open your eyes
does every part of everything have to be right
every now and then- so that after a while
Call the card
left to lay
just a path
against our future days
lay direction
read the face
understand our crooked ways
smile at this
directed plain
her eyes are cracking
in their wrinkled gaze
the light is dancing
on the tabletop
restlessness that just won't stop
now planted deeply
suggesting fate
eating sweet naiveté
was it mirror
or window glass?
the subtle residue
beyond your grasp
Hang the man
by his legs let us hang the man
falling together in the cold grass holding hands
on the hill side watching stars descend.
forever seems like just an empty promise
we spent so long ago
but we were younger then.
each sour word
sounds so absurd
but lingers
in the air
while happiness
in an ashen dress
fades into
the years
each lonely hour
my heart has slept
has drifted back
to me
a splintered dream
of awful things
that now
have come to be
She said Go
I don't want you any more
She said Go
i don't need you now, my dearest
She said Go
i don't love you anymore
She said go
and i heard the angels cry
for us...
simple words that simply disappear
while silence has replaced the sound of laughter
and in the twilight memories shimmer in a
breath of hesitation
but it only lasts a moment before its gone
(Shhh)
(Close your eyes, go to sleep)
You're lying awake
the room is different
the walls dissolve
replaced by sky
horizon blackening twilight
beckoning
as the clouds are stretching wide
stars still shining
little holes
that light is clawing to get through
but hope is shifting
with the shadows
that are drifting on the ceiling as you move
(Shhh)
(Just close your eyes, go sleep)
(There's nothing to be afraid of)
Are you awake???
sour thoughts are dancing now
all around your head
shoulders shake.....chattering teeth
the cold wind rips the covers from
your bed
the apparition-
the eyes are digging
heart is pounding
eyelids will not close
your voice is failing
the screams derailing
and she stands so near to you
(Shhh)
and nothing sweeter than the songs you're seeing
begging for the colder hand she hides
floating
flowing
her soul is hunting
glimmer
shimmer
white lights breaking
and fluid cries
she's reaching
screeching
imploring
seething
and the haunting
hurting
spilling
no-one knows
a kiss-like smile that leaves you beguiled
fading darkness and the whisper of a ghost
(Shhh)
Na, na na na na, na
Na, na na na na
I do not know the mind of God and I cannot guess his thoughts
But I have searched for you across the void when my sense of self was lost
The answer stands to brush my grasp in the darkness and the pain
And I saw myself for all I am, the decisions I have made
With hearts immortal, we stand before our lives
A soul against oblivion, forever asking why
This upside down symphony in a paradox called life
Our hearts immortal
What you give to love, will never die
Na, na na na na, na
Na, na na na na
And when my ashes scatter here with my memories to the wind
What endures beyond the silent edge is the essence found within
Have we forgotten truly who we are and what our living means
Our purpose lies in others eyes and the realities that we bring
With hearts immortal, we stand before our lives
A soul against oblivion, forever asking why
This upside down symphony in a paradox called life
Our hearts immortal
What you give to love, will never die
All that I am
And all that I dream
Lives somewhere beyond
Your image of me
And who I become
And what I will be
Is not yours to decide
It comes only from me
One, two, ready, go
Na, na na na na, na
Na, na na na na
With hearts immortal, we stand before our lives
A soul against oblivion, forever asking why
This upside down symphony in a paradox called life
Our hearts immortal
What you give to love, will never die
With hearts immortal, we stand before our lives
A soul against oblivion, forever asking why
This upside down symphony in a paradox called life
Our hearts immortal
What you give to love, will never die
Our hearts immortal, we stand before our lives
A soul against oblivion, forever asking why
This upside down symphony in a paradox called life
Our hearts immortal
Sample:
Usually I get real pissed off and wonder if anyone's really listening to me...
Bring em back on the dead feathers
We once left for the falling birds
Bring them back all of the others
Someone fed them some holy words
I stand rigid and stony
At the hand that holds the sky
Tight out spell me the money
That leaves out of your lies
Someone took a gun
Now I shot tomorrow
Someone took a fall
I think I killed tomorrow
Someone took a gun
Now I shot tomorrow
Someone took a fall
I think I killed tomorrow
Throw them back on the dead corpses
We once held close in our arms
Throw them back, back where they started
We danced naked for the stars
I stand rigid and stony
And the hand that holds the sky
Right out spare me some money
That leaves out of these lies
Someone took a gun
Now I shot tomorrow
Someone took a fall
I think I killed tomorrow
Someone took a gun
Now I shot tomorrow
Someone took a fall
Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Here comes the rain again
Tearing me apart like a new emotion
I want to walk in the open winds
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you?
Baby, talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Like lovers do
Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Here comes the rain again
Tearing me apart like a new emotion
I want to walk in the open winds
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you?
Baby, talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Like lovers do
(Sometimes I just need you to hold me)
Baby, talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Words scribbled on the underside of an old envelope
becoming everything inside.
Ink spilled on paper, but in a deeper sense,
several sentences blurred by tears
represented more sentiment,
more that was meaningful and real,
then the years that led to this crossroads.
I heard the door close-
not slamming, but slinking shut
in an unfortunate and unhappy desire to be undetected,
as if secrecy could lesson the pain.
Sometimes our lives descend, insnared
as storms upon the soul
and rains may strike dividing
to sever what was whole
but though your limbs feel torn and twisted
and your memories turn cold
take heart, for I am with you still
and will catch you should you fall
Eyes to Heaven
Lost and searching for the truth
The words to mend your broken heart
can only come from you
Eyes to Heaven
building secrets from your pain
a virtue lost in innocence
is lost here all the same
a beautiful dreamer locked in reticence
in a tower of your soul
what lies so deep and undisturbed
fears torment in the world
lightning flashes warning
to whispers in the rain
the fire climbing upwards
your fortress lies in flame
just pray you do the right thing
Eyes to Heaven
Lost and searching for the truth
The words to mend your broken heart
can only come from you
Eyes to Heaven
building secrets from your pain
in prayers to end the suffering
heard by a soldier's saint.
Eyes to Heaven
Lost and searching for the truth
I am lost, and I'm falling
You've played this hand, refused to stand
has dignity dissolved?
How far away I heard you say
In empathy devolved-
You cast your heart two worlds apart
and lost sight of your soul
But the sun will rise with cleaner eyes
That you pretend to know...
I stood here waiting for so long
I stood here praying I was wrong.
You said that we could last forever, forever and a day.
You said that we could last forever, if only I would stay-
I know, within your soul, the light fights trough the rain
But if you promise me forever, I know that it's in vain.
If silence slips from sacred (God's own) lips
Shall the world un-become.
The tears of saints in blood you paint
A cowards word is none
And with no voice you forfeit choice
and crucify your thoughts
But see a face in tortured grace
Whose eyes belonged to God
I stood here waiting for so long
I stood here praying I was wrong.
You said that we could last forever, forever and a day.
You said that we could last forever, if only I would stay-
I know, within your soul, the light fights trough the rain
but now a promise of forever, won't take away the pain.
Sangrael, sangrael
A lovers cup before a wishing well
Sangrael, sangrael
Where all who thirst shall drink
Sangrael, sangrael
From heavens height to the depths of hell
Sangrael, sangrael
All who thirst shall drink
I stood here waiting for so long
I stood here praying I was wrong.
You said that we could last forever, forever and a day.
You said that we could last forever, if only I would stay-
I know, within your soul, the light fights trough the rain
But if you promise me forever, I know that it's in vain.
You said that we could last forever, forever and a day.
You said that we could last forever, if only I would stay-
I know, within your soul, the light fights trough the rain
The world is forever changing,
Evolving, and growing.
Everything we know
Everything we love
Everything we believe in
Will change
Living is changing
Momentarily, everything will be re-imagined
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Begin
The shattered heart
Inside of me
Rising from
The deepest dream
Spoken thoughts
That plant the seeds
I hear the voice
And I believe (x10)
The lovers kiss
Is born to feed
Perfect to eternity
Life allows
And all will be
I hear the truth
The sounds of yesterday still echo in my head
Distant conflicts unresolved
We were young once
And in love
Nothing was more real
More real to feel
Fools for lovers
Children are
In petty circumstance
Like razors seen
More clearly now
Watching from the outside
Looking down
I feel so helpless
I see angels trapped beneath the ice
And strangers in my bed at night
Cloudy skies to cover up
The feelings buried in the dark
Helen, I think you understand
The night is silent in your hands
I give it everything I have
And when its gone
There's nothing left but me
Sadness whispers her condolences
For the greatest tragedy of all is love lost
But the greatest virtue belongs to those
Who will give everything
To love again
It is a test
I don't think its fair to blame each other
For the happiness we sought but didn't find
Gibran's words I heard in angel's eyes
Too young to understand
But I pause as we grow between the lines
And if the walls of our communion fall to nothingness
How wrong the dreamers would be
But I won't accept it
I won't give up
World be damned
For love is hard
And this time
This time
I'm not running away
I see angels trapped beneath the ice
And strangers in my bed at night
Cloudy skies to cover up
The feelings buried in the dark
Helen, I think you understand
The night is silent in your hands
I give it everything I have
And when its gone
There's nothing left
I see angels trapped beneath the ice
And strangers in my bed at night
Cloudy skies to cover up
The feelings buried in the dark
Helen, I think you understand
The night is silent in your hands
I give it everything I have
And when its gone
There's nothing left but me
There is always hope
And the strongest and the bravest
Will always keep it close to them
For if you surrender hope
Then love was right to leave you
I see angels trapped beneath the ice
And strangers in my bed at night
Cloudy skies to cover up
The feelings buried in the dark
Helen, I think you understand
The night is silent in your hands
I give it everything I have
And when its gone
There's nothing left
I see angels trapped beneath the ice
And strangers in my bed at night
Cloudy skies to cover up
The feelings buried in the dark
Helen, I think you understand
The night is silent in your hands
I give it everything I have
And when its gone
The hand creates
And chiseled stone
Rises from beneath the striking
Hidden here below the fracture
The beautiful is corporal
The beautiful is real
I write these dreams
To make this world
Something more
Than hate and greed
I cast a vision
To change the tides
To give this world
What I have seen
Find the face within the stone
The Cyphered dreams
Of love enduring
No winds shall come
To move this stone
For here I plant
My gift to you
A monument
Within the mind
The stone is breathing
The heart is beating
And my soul is present
In every word
Galatea lives
And she will love you
While angels comfort
So this is Xmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Xmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And, so this is Xmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Xmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And, so this is Xmas
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And, so happy Xmas
We hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Sorrow sings
her kisses in silence
and adjusts the blinds to keep the light
from mocking everything I feel
She dances slowly
a silhouette upon the curtains
but her eyes seem to cry
only empty tears
I beg for comfort with inadequate verse
it meant so much to me.... and so little to her
and I am sinking into a mountain of self pity
why can't I simply disregard all the things I feel?
"where is my angel,"
"where is my angel,"
"where is my angel, when I need him most?"
"where is my angel,"
"where is my angel,"
Fragments of my life are slipping through time
In washed out memories I just can't seem to find...
It seems I break all my fragile dreams
when I call the angel into me.
So what have I done? What have I done?
Have I made you proud or have I driven you away?
Her eyes are complicated. Silently she slips away,
And in her wake I find a cascade of regret...
All that I believe in, the anchors in my heart,
Cannot be for nothing. But we still stand apart...
In silence.
It seems I break All my fragile dreams
when I call The Angels back to me.
So what have I done? What have I done?
When time has claimed my fire and left me in Exile.
Shadows cross in essence as part of what I am,
When you try to see the Angel. Standing like a man.
Paper hearts and faded pictures that we cherish
all the while, and guard of distant forests,
Raining tears placed in Exile.
What have I done? Who have I become?
Though these words may come alive...
Poets and prophets die...
God are you sleeping?
God are you dreaming?
Are you watching me tonight?
Finding tears to mark the time?
God are you sleeping?
God are you dreaming?
Are you crying for my life?
Falling Angels in Exile.
God are you sleeping?
Never give up.
God are you dreaming?
Never give in.
There is fight within.
Do you hear me in the dark?
God are you sleeping?
Never give up.
God are you dreaming?
Never give in.
There is fight within.
And I long to see your smile...
What have I done? Who have I become?
Though these words may come alive...
Poets and prophets...
The trials you are now facing
They are not greater than your will
For there is nothing under heaven
You cannot overcome
See the door that lies before you
And know this too shall pass
The confrontation of your fears
In strength drawn from the past
Where the silent voices whisper
Find the course that is your own
And however great the obstacle
You will never be alone
For I have watched the path of angels
And I have heard the heavens roar
There is strife within the tempest
But there is calm within the eye of the storm
In fragments of an instant
The chaos has returned
And all that was left to sentiment
Beneath the banner burned
And as that voice was slow receded
Into echoes, memory
My doubts were re-ignited
And fear awakened from its sleep
I believe in what I fight for
And I have paid for it with pain
I am here because my contributions
May help turn this fate away
And all who stood by and did nothing
Who are they to criticise?
The sacrifices of others
Our blood has bought their lives
This is the moment of truth
At the point of no return
Place faith in your convictions
As the boundaries start to blur
There is no love untouched by hate
No unity without discord
There is no courage without fear
There is no peace without a war
There is no wisdom without regret
No admiration without scorn
There is strife within the tempest
But there is calm in the eye of the storm
The pages of our history
Are written by the hand
With eyes and ears and prejudice
Too far removed to understand
And so the heroes of the ages
Are stripped of honesty and love
To make them seem less noble
And hide what we can become
If you find the courage within you
To face the path ahead
It matters not the outcome
If what you will gain instead
Is a heart deepened in the knowing
That experience guards the soul
And the very thing that empties you
Shall surely make you whole
Where the silent voices whisper
Find the course that is your own
And however great the obstacle
You will never be alone
For I have watched the path of angels
And I have heard the heavens roar
There is strife within the tempest
Sleeping moments giving birth
To a world of my own invention
Doubt is a cast, and what's real
Mixes with imatination
My imatination
Each vision, each word
Like a message in a bottle
The unreal has given birth
To the titans of my inner battles
Angel, burning away
Cutting against the heartless unforgiven
Anger, blacken my dream
A phoenix in flame, returning in redemption
Angel, burning away
Cutting against the heartless unforgiven
Anger, blacken my dream
I can see this angel is me
And I am in flames
The wind is breaking hard
Flowing with the void of fire
The light it burns
Eyes glow, holding my soul
The fallen horde is hunting seraph
Wisdom, Prometheus knows
A torch is but a tool for heroes
We stand to face the hatred
Go go east
Go go east
Too many the questions
Where answers are few
The path driving tangled
Loves destiny's truth
With hunger unwilling
A passage to choose--
The trees growing ripe
With forbidden fruit
Dance in the garden
Sing with the snakes
Inviting free will,
To repeat his mistakes
With hunger unwilling
What will you do
The trees are ripe
With forbidden fruit
Live, love, be, believe
Go go east
Go go east of Eden
Rising in the eastern sky
The sun god dances light divine
Rising in the eastern sky
The western banks below his eye
Live, love, be, believe
Stop..
Go..
(East of Eden)
With hunger unwilling
A passage to choose
The trees are ripe
With forbidden fruit
I walk alone at night
Raindrops and streetlights
Reflecting flashes
Across the asphalt
In a second's time, I might refrain from breathing
With her hand in mine, something is breaking faster
Through a blackened sky, I see a world unravel
I look into her eyes to see the end
In a second's time, the walls swim cold electric
With a tearful smile, she whispers my undoing
In the hollow night, I find no trace of comfort
I turn just in time to see the end
I walk the edge
Standing on the velvet edge
Looking backwards in the rain
I wonder just how many times
I've watched you walk away
All that fascination bleeds-
Is a piece of infinity
In frustration still believing
What I know will never be
(chorus)
Blurry eyes growing weak
Fading the the light of time
Piercing nothing to redeem
The emptiness with lies
Pride has raped the sorrowed heart
And stolen what I love,
Though the cut is digging still
How much deeper it could go...
(chorus)
Why did you come here,
just to break my heart again?
(I walk the edge)
Why did you come here,
just to sever my last remaining thread-
Why did you come here,
just to watch me fall again?
(I walk the edge)
Voicing back from frozen moments
The aching words I never spoke
Alone now in this cold abstraction
The sounds of yesterday transpose
And every pause within my conscience
I sadly offer up to you
So I must go before I falter
Before this longing skews the truth
And as I push against the waves
Know my heart is broken too
And though I travel far away
Part of me is with you still
And if it was my choice to make
Elissa... I would stay with you
But tomorrow isn't mine to see
And there's something I must do
And if it was my life to live
Elissa... I would never leave
I made a promise long ago
And now you must believe
That no matter where I travel
I can only love you more
Whatever course life takes
I can only love you more
I see your shadow like a ghost
Silent and away
Apologies make emptiness
The things I want to say
And this guilt it must be mine alone
But the fire's distant glow
Is broken to a choice unmade
Though I want you, though I need you
And as I push against the waves
Know my heart is broken too
And though I travel far away
Aeneas lives inside of you
Strange light between the blinds
Dimly slipping paper thin
Whispers in my head imply
Some new understanding
Everyone has a purpose
Hidden within our lives
Something we were meant to do
A focused voice reigns down like a firestorm
you know what you must do
venture down into the underworld
to prove that love is true
Eurydice don't follow me
the world has grown so cold
Eurydice don't follow me
my love I'm losing hold
If my voice won't move the Ferrymen
on my affections alone i'll cross
then stare into the eyes of death eternal
no matter what the cost
(chorus)
sacrifices and the light that leads me here through this night as vision breaks the world grows dim persephone argue my case to him i'll take his word no looking back the bridge we cross still cannot look and her footsteps i do not hear is she far behind me or standing near?
Hold tight to the path you're walking
don't let your resolve decline
keep your eye on the prize
and your mind on your goals
and never fall behind
Dream yourself
Dream yourself awake
Dream yourself
Dream yourself awake
and never look down
Remember the life you're living
is created in your soul
and what is real
should never feel
alien to the world
Dream yourself
Dream yourself awake
Dream yourself
Dream yourself awake
and never look down
Don't waste your tears on sorrow
Weighing in from your past
everyone has a broken wish
fallen beyond their grasp
Dream yourself
Dream yourself awake
Dream yourself
Dream yourself awake
and never look down
Dream yourself
Dream yourself awake
Dream yourself
Dream yourself
I don't understand why this is happening
despite all of it all
I still believe
maybe its all in my head
I just need a quiet place where i can think
despite all of it all
I'm not asking for favors
not tonight
I look up in the sky
all the rockets fall down (fall down)
too many promises
too many lines
too many faces for me to know
Sometimes I sit among the markers
and contemplate my next life
says something less sympathetic-
"a little more unconditional respect was buried here"
"But it never lived
and it never died
it never came from them
it was always inside."
I don't care if time just passes us by
I can stand the change
but not the cruelty
too many promises
too many lies
too many faces for me to know
Sometimes I sit among the markers
and contemplate my next life
says something less sympathetic-
"a little more unconditional respect was buried here"
"But it never lived
and it never died
it never came from them
Yesterday with eyes away the breifness of a moment
As in a blinding flash of light the world came remade
Vauge my life, A distant shadow filtered through my mind
And dreamed my lovers kiss subdued the emptiness inside
I watch a thousand ships go by
From the cliffs abouve the helpless tide
I raise my chin to the god within
As to carry fear with a failing grin
And blizzard rage fills every page
Fills every breath and every taste
I raise my chin to the god within
As to carry fear with a failing grin
And blizzard rage fills every page
Fills every breath and every taste Within
Pretending nothing's to take the place of our dissapearing words
Silence where the water flows and where our actions blur
So angels kiss the brows and lips and pull the strings inside
Waiting for the firelight to bring tomorrow home
I watch a thousand ships go by
From the cliffs abouve the raging tide
I raise my chin to the god within
As to carry fear with a failing grin
And blizzard rage fills every page
Fills every breath and every taste
I raise my chin to the god within
As to carry fear with a failing grin
And blizzard rage fills every page
Fills every breath and every taste Within
(Barely audible)
I raise my chin to the god within
As to carry fear with a failing grin
And blizzard rage fills every page
Fills every breath and every taste
I raise my chin to the god within
As to carry fear with a failing grin
And blizzard rage fills every page
Hide the window watching
give hands that push the faces back
shiver in the alleys
and dying in the cold
little hands and little faces
what are you running from?
they're creeping on your satin sheets
and dancing in your nightmare
Watching at the window
the ledge which we provide
there's someone up above me
there's someone scratching softly
little monsters in the chimney
all black and stained with soot
come creeping into my bedroom
and lead me here to sleep
dancing in your darkness
dancing in your fear
forgetting all your hidden monsters
Slipping between us, the ghost and the mourning
Prayers spent on finding, a reason to stay
Painful and aching, the balance is breaking
So many words, I don't know what to say
Our planets break orbit like paper and water
Delicate dancing on the edge of her lips
Something unsettled, and something remembered
Something forgiven, keeps silent within
She turns to me with tears in her eyes
As if she doesn't see the tempest inside
And our hearts are beating, but no one is breathing
A small thing I think, so close to the end
The clock is ticking, time is escaping...
I know I must be standing on my own
And something sacred, it could be dying... I know
And I stare with headlights now approaching
Blankets of sadness, bound up and cover, happiness lost.
I must have buried here
Inside I'm reaching, inside I'm pleading.
I can't be losing everything
That I remember...
Oh Memorare
Oh Memorare...
Kisses left longing, somewhere behind us
Asking for comfort, like cats in between
This new regretting, how foolish the choices
That once seemed so meaningful, so sturdy and sane
Seconds in silence, last half of forever
Searching for glimpses lovers embraced
How close and how distant, we stand to each other
Knowing that nothing here can ever be replaced
Oh Memorare
Oh Memorare
This room is screaming emptiness
silence breaks the air
it leaves me lying on the floor
it leaves me dying there
crawling through the trenches
you stand behind each door
blood & sweat & muddy water
up against the crashing shore
Take my hand, its my world
understand we'll make it real
play with me in my world
all of this is my world
black fire rising higher
it breaks across the line
there's hell to pay
and we'll pay all day
because the fires mine
(chorus)
The course is moving closer
I can taste the water now
I feel the heavens shaking
as angels come dropping down
I never wrote you a love song
somehow words could not express what I needed to say
and so I never wrote you a love song
and now it's much, much too late 'cause you've gone away
But I will build this monument
to remember all the love we once had
and I'll close my eyes and make it how it used to be
I swear I never stopped loving you with everything I am
and it hurts so much to think you stopped loving me
you stopped loving me
So I wish that I'd had written you a love song
and somehow you understood what it feels to be me
becuase the Angel loves the sprite forever
and does it unconditionally
But I will build this monument
to remember all the love we once had
and I'll close my eyes and make it how it used to be
I swear I never stopped loving you with everything I am
and it hurts so much to think you stopped loving me
you stopped loving me
I met a lady in the meads
Full beautiful --- a faery's child;
Her hair was long, her foot was light,
And her eyes were wild.
I made a garland for her head,
And bracelets too, and fragrant zone;
She look'd at me as she did love,
And made sweet moan.
I set her on my pacing steed,
And nothing else saw all day long;
For sideways would she lean, and sing
A faery's song.
She found me roots of relish sweet,
And honey wild, and manna dew;
And sure in language strange she said,
'I love thee true.'
She took me to her elfin grot,
And there she wept and sighed full sore,
And there I shut her wild wild eyes
With kisses four.
And there she lulled me asleep,
And there I dream'd --- ah! woe betide! ---
The latest dream I ever dreamt
On the cold hill side.
I saw pale kings, and princes too,
Pale warriors, death-pale were they all;
They cried --- 'La Belle Dame sans Merci
Hath thee in thrall!'
I saw their starved lips in the gloam
With horrid warning gaped wide,
And I awoke, and found me here
On the cold hill side.
And this is why I sojourn here,
Alone and palely loitering;
Though the sedge is wither'd from the lake,
The sounds of yesterday still echo in my head
Distant conflicts unresolved
We were young once, and in love
Nothing was more real...more real to me
Fools for lovers, children are in petty circumstance
Like razors seen more clearly now
Watching from the outside looking down
I feel so helpless
I see angels trapped beneath the ice
And strangers in my bed at night
Cloudy skies to cover up the feelings buried in the dark
Helen, i think you understand
The night is silent in your hands
I've given everything I have
And when its gone
There's nothing left but me
*sadness whispers her condolences
For the greatest tragedy of all is love lost
But the greatest virtue belongs to those who will give everything to love again
It is a test*
I don't think its fair to blame each other
For the happiness we sought but didn't find
Gibron's words i heard in angel's sighs
Too young to understand
But I pause as we grow between the lines
And if the walls of our communion fall to nothingness
How wrong the dreamers would be
But I won't accept it, I won't give up
World be damned, for love is hard
And this time...
This time...
I'm not running away
I see angels trapped beneath the ice
And strangers in my bed at night
Cloudy skies to cover up the feelings buried in the dark
Helen, i think you understand
The night is silent in your hands
I've given everything I have
And when its gone
There's nothing left
I see angels trapped beneath the ice
And strangers in my bed at night
Cloudy skies to cover up the feelings buried in the dark
Helen, i think you understand
The night is silent in your hands
I've given everything I have
And when its gone
There's nothing left but me
*There is always hope, and the strongest and the bravest will always keep it close to them
For if you surrender hope, than love was right to leave you*
I see angels trapped beneath the ice
And strangers in my bed at night
Cloudy skies to cover up the feelings buried in the dark
Helen, i think you understand
The night is silent in your hands
I've given everything I have
And when its gone
There's nothing left
I see angels trapped beneath the ice
And strangers in my bed at night
Cloudy skies to cover up the feelings buried in the dark
Helen, i think you understand
The night is silent in your hands
I've given everything I have
And when its gone
I find you, lying fetal, kness pulled beneath
your chin, alluring bite sings empty promises,
the entropy has pulled you in, your heart
pounds, your breathing is labored, foolish
things we do for fun, the world outside caving
inward, now what have you done? what have
you done?
No life, No love, No dreams, No reason to remain,
No eyes, No vision, No pain, No, No Nothing, No
mind, No thought, No sex, No awe to feel, No
heart, No Nothing, No, No, No Nothing
fingers numb, a hand is reaching, asking, begging
for a friend, your mouth is dry sting cotton frothing,
spiral staircase towards the end, chest heaves and
you stop breathing, numeric punch keys 911, bad
chemistry, organic weakness, now what have you
done? what have you done?
No life, No love, No dreams, No reason to remain,
No eyes, No vision, No pain, No, No Nothing, No
mind, No thought, No sex, No awe to feel, No
The doubt that madness breeds
feeds this eternity.
perhaps the promises were not intended
to endure
The scars that life has carved
fell deepest on your heart
and the strength to overcome
has left you waiting here.
But though the phantoms of this place
want to steal away your grace
I'll sleep beside you through the cold
i will not leave you here
And in this silence I can hear
all the fury and the fear
but i promise you my love
I will not leave you here
For I will bury you
Where they bury me
But the emptiness is filled
and the hatred reconciled
with a daily struggle
to forget.
Beyond frustration and contempt
is the pain of heaven spent
by those ignorant and cold;
at your expense.
I see, I see, I see we move with the water
I feel, I feel, I feel this darkness receding
I see, I see, I see we flow like the ocean
On this fading realm of silent dreams
All falls quiet in front of me
I have to think, I must believe
That this is only sleep
As the day has tread into the night
And memory is painted white
A kiss will carry you away
And find us another place
Still I want again to hold your hand
A moment more to understand
How much it means, these little things
To savor one more smile
But in the silence nothing stirs
Not a rising breath to reassure
So I hang my head and hold you close
For this is only sleep
And that's the way I watch the sky
With a simple prayer to sail her by
I have to think, I must believe
That this is only sleep
Only sleep, only sleep
Only sleep, only sleep
If morning comes and all is quiet
A liftetime dances in my mind
But I have to think, I must believe
That this is only sleep,
And that's the way I watch the sky
With a simple prayer to sail her by
I have to think, I must believe
That this is only sleep
Only sleep, only sleep
Only sleep, only sleep
And that's the way I watch the sky
With a simple prayer to sail her by
I have to think, I must believe
That this is only sleep
I have to think, I must believe
That this is only sleep
The thirst is getting angry
All she's wanting touch
A little bit of hunger
Satisfaction doesn't ask for much
She wants to feel intensity he watered down
The low to soft
Deliverance this heart he pumps and pounds
I look around -- What do I see?
Another finger pointing at me
All the words they testify
It has to be
Pornography
I look around -- What do I see?
Another finger pointing at me
All the words they testify
It has to be
Pornography
Welcome to my lair
Said the spider to the fly
Let me bring you ecstasy
Baby baby let me try
To rip these coiling binders
From the smoothest plane
And dive deep inside you
To taste the sweetest rain
I look around -- What do I see?
Another finger pointing at me
All the words they testify
It has to be
Pornography
I look around -- What do I see?
Another finger pointing at me
All the words they testify
It has to be
It's getting difficult
Each moment here alone
And it's getting dark outside
And stranger here without you
But I see a firefly
Glowing in the summer sky
Like bright confetti
Burning in the night
How do you do it?
You make me feel this way
How do you do it?
All these games we play
How do you do it?
How can you say the things you say?
How do you do it?
It breaks my heart every day
Eveyday like yesterday
I don't think you know that I believe in you
I don't think you understand how much I love you still
I don't think you realize, that you are perfect in my eyes
And I don't think you know that I believe...
In you
It's getting harder
Everyday like yesterday
And tomorrow feels unreachable
A thousand years away
But I see a firefly
Swimming in the air tonight
Like bright confetti
Dancing in my mind
I spiral into circles
And all of this for you
So tell me how to find you now
A soul of pure mechanics
A sentinel to this edge
Battle bruised and filled with holes
Last living to protect
Burning chrome and steel becomes
something more alive
that to destruction so consigned
believing will survive
Look up now child
To the sky
And hear the titans'
Fearless cry
For you, these mortals
Now become
An offering to life
And all the men
Who will not die
Even though
They give these lives
Return to us
And in our hearts and minds
As heroes will survive
Engines burn in glowing rage
High above the clouds
Where bullets reign
And metal bleeds
As smoke comes streaking out
Now limping back sad victory
Its wings are losing flight
And down it goes
This fireball
It's etched into my mind
Look up now child
To the sky
And hear the titans'
Fateful cry
For you, these mortals
Now become
An offering to life
And all the men
Who will not die
Even though
They give their lives
Return to us
And in our hearts and minds
As heroes will survive

Father, forgive me, I tried not to do this
When I look back upon my life
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin
At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin
Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it
Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care
And I still don't understand
So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to - it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
Before I fade into a dream
I will leave these kisses 3
One for love that dances in the fairy light,
One for the beautiful child enthroned,
And one for the angel whose eyes are my vision,
Whose wings though tattered shall carry me home...
Carry me home...
Carry me home...
Is there something I missed along the way?
Is there something I missed?
The first kiss
Is there something I missed along the way?
Is there something I missed?
The second kiss
Is there something I missed along the way?
Is there something I missed?
The third kiss...
I only ask you remember me
In a waking though, returned from sleep...
Before I fade into a dream
I will leave these...
Somewhere in the darkness I stand
Watching and waiting again
Somwewhere in the darkness she cries
And I hear the silent cry
The silence
Her lips are cold like death
And she steals away my last breath
As I reach into her soul
And coldly let her go
I let her
Her lips are cold like death
And she steals away my last breath
As I reach into her soul
And coldly let her go
I let her go
Somewhere in the darkness I stand
Watching and waiting again
Somewhere in the darkness she cries
And I hear the silent cry
The silence
Her lips are cold like death
And she steals away my last breath
As I reach into her soul
And coldly let her go
I let her
Her lips are cold like death
And she steals away my last breath
As I reach into her soul
And coldly let her go
I let her
Now I feel it moving to light
different faces going still
Down in back with all this fight
Till nothing else matters tonight
Glance back and glance back through
With all they see
You have to let me know
Cut hold
Cut tight
Tragic faces
Different fight
Send a shockwave
Home
Ripping close
And gripping god
Gripping god
Her lips are cold like death
And she steals away my last breath
As I reach into her soul
And coldly let her go
I let her
Her lips are cold like death
And she steals away my last breath
As I reach into her soul
And coldly let her go
I let her go
I let her go
Twas Brillig and the slithy Toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe,
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the momeraths outgrabe.
Beware the Jabberwock, my son,
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jub-jub bird and shun
The frumious Baudersnatch
He took his vorpal sword in hand,
Long time the manx-ome foe he sought,
So rested he by the Tum Tum Tree
And stood a while in thought.
And as in uffish thought he stood
The Jabberwock with eyes of flame
Came whiffling thru the tulgey wood
And burbled as it came!
One two one two, and thru and thru the vorpal blade went snicker snak!
He left it dead and with its head he went galumphing back.
And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms! My beamish boy!
Oh frabjous day! Cllooh, Calay! He chortled in his joy.
Twas brillig and the slithy Toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe,
All mimsy were the borogoves
Shifting inside patterns
the division multiplies
echoing the mystery
mimicking the slide
sound searching slowly
below the flaming web
moving with his eyes like fire
with his jackal-head
(with his jackal-head)
Give it all to birth
give it all to life
take it all for granted
until we turn and die
She answers with her staff
silence from her breath
silhouettes of temples falling
visions of certain death
hand lift it from the pocket
the prophet falls to red
the sacrifice is offered
to his jackal-head
(to his jackal-head)
(chorus)
[transcribed]
The constellations in the sky look on us
The stars, the moon, the Nile
The Nile brings life
And life is the cycle
We shall grow and receive the Nile
Again and again
As life shall come
And be taken away.
Thus is the prophecy that is ever among us
Thus is the words of our [father?]
...and one God is this in all life.
(chorus)
He who defiles the tomb of the pharaoh
shall surely find swift death
He who defiles the womb of the pharaoh's queen
shall surely find swift death
For the Cycle of Life is sacred
The Cycle of Life moves through all of us
Thus says Amun the Father
Thus says Ra the Sun and the Light
Thus says Aten the One
and Osiris the Dead
Thus says Isis the Fertile
and Horus the Living
Thus says Ptah the Creator
Can you hear the breath of the observer
Can you hear the quanta calling back?
The arguments of motivation
Implore my distant muse to act
Sentiment spent on emotions
Derived from our eternal spark
All beyond our comprehension
Watching protons in the dark
All the love and all the hatred
Split from our desire to be
All the love and all the hatred
Leading to hostilities
All the saints and all the prophets
All the secrets that you keep
Exist with one inriguing question
Tell me dearest - who are we?
Can you hear the gears of evolution
Grinding for divinity
Can you hear the voices of creation
And the science sprawling from the seas
Sentiment spent on emotions
Derived from our eternal spark
All beyond our comprehension
Watching protons in the dark
Can you hear the cat within the box
Can you hear electrons moving free
Watching something
Watching nothing
In status somewhere in between
All the love and all the hatred
Lovers searching for the seed
That piece of existential knowing
That gives tomorrow wings to dream
All h ebroken hearted angels
Living in the ether seams
All the love and all the hatred
I don't understand how you've done
these things to me
I can not comprehend your lack
of loyalty
For you i would have shaken down the
heavens from the sky
But it seems my love was stronger than
this love of yours that died
Did you think it wouldn't hurt?
Did you think I wouldn't feel
when the world came falling down?
or maybe you didn't think at all
and that's why I feel what I feel now
Did you think I wouldn't fall?
Did you think I wouldn't cry?
Did you think I wouldn't beg
you to stay?
One of these days you're gonna realize (recognize)
just what (who) you've thrown away
Now I lie here in this empty bed
and all I think about is you
and I wonder if you miss me now
and if your bed is empty too
(bridge)
Marilyn my bitterness
I've fallen to a stranger nightmare
Marilyn, oh Marilyn
I cannot... find my way / break away
I'll absorb this agony
I'll carry all this pain
I'll wipe away this emptiness
I'll purify this stain
my wings will fold around me now
for once a one was two
and my memory is a monument
that will always stand for you
(bridge)
(chorus)
Leave me alone- I'm a freak
leave me alone- make it easy for yourself
everywhere I go they all stare
I don't understand why they care
they stare at me in all black
and when I turn they stare at my back
all these things can't,
all these things don't--
let me go.
Leave me alone- I'm a freak
leave me alone- make it easy for yourself
everywhere I go they all stare
I don't understand why they care
and I don't want to be a part of your world
and I don't want to see the things you see
can't you understand how I feel?
can't you let me be?
Please, leave me alone
Please, leave me alone
Please, leave me alone
Scented pain and seperation
defies the physics and the form
that life must to exist consume and be reborn
why is this strange attraction
a call to arms with my destiny?
what choice or course of action?
will you leave a path for me
Love laced with tragedy
a sense of agony
why can't i feel love as in a fairy tale?
my heart is growing frail
and now I've lost this...love
Systematicly paralyzed from the soul out towards the eyes
what i feel i have no traction to hold or realize
Sinking into motivation
i do not trust the things i've seen
and now these lost and found sensations want to devour me.
Love laced with tragedy
a sense of agony
why can't i feel love as in a fairy tale?
my heart is growing frail
and now I've lost this...love
Love laced with tragedy
a sense of agony
why can't i feel love as in a fairy tale?
my heart is growing frail
and now I've lost this
Love into profanity
My heart is suffering
Why caný i feel love as in a fairy tale?
My world is growing frail
Stranger the darkness a hint of perfume
Rising from your lips towards the window
The sunlight is twisting lines in my eyes
Leaving me far too dizzy, to see
What am I supposed to do?
When I feel nothing, but I want to?
What am I supposed to say?
No one ever listens, anyway
I want to forgive, and I want to forget
But I can't seem to break out of this, yet
As I'm haunted by heartache and visions of things
That widens, the gulf, between us
What am I supposed to do?
When I feel nothing, but I want to?
What am I supposed to say?
My body's made of fire
Black and deep and cold
Burning for the choice I made
So many years ago
And love will keep me tethered
For my wings are stripped of flight
But into my mad, deluded world
They cross the battle lines
Into their end
One dream of God
One dream of less
One dream of strength and cowardice
With the rage of the seraphs at my side
One dream of man
One dream of hate
One dream of love
One dream of hate
With the rage of the seraphs at my side
The punishments I carry now
Are of my own design
For once I brought the hand of God
Sleeping moments giving birth
To a world of my own invention
Doubt is a cast, and what's real
Mixes with imatination
My imatination
Each vision, each word
Like a message in a bottle
The unreal has given birth
To the titans of my inner battles
Angel, burning away
Cutting against the heartless unforgiven
Anger, blacken my dream
A phoenix in flame, returning in redemption
Angel, burning away
Cutting against the heartless unforgiven
Anger, blacken my dream
I can see this angel is me
And I am in flames
The wind is breaking hard
Flowing with the void of fire
The light it burns
Eyes glow, holding my soul
The fallen horde is hunting seraph
Wisdom, Prometheus knows
A torch is but a tool for heroes
We stand to face the hatred
Amassing on our borders
Little girl running away from the world
Don't blame yourself, words are less than love
In a wonderland, you can bend the course of fate
You can find the key and dream the darkness away
And if you search within yourself, to wake the White Queen
The key is hidden deep inside the world you're making
And if you find it in yourself, you'll wake the White Queen
For mother's love you'll understand, this mirror's in your mind
Taking books and Valentines, your guide...
Run Helena, the Black Queen's lost her child
And the tendrils dark are eating up the light
You see her through the window but she's looking back
(She's looking back at you)!
And if you search within yourself, to wake the White Queen
The key is hidden deep inside the world you're making
And if you find it in yourself, you'll wake the White Queen
For mother's love you'll understand, this mirror's in your mind
And everyone wears a mask...
The Nothing is coming, to swallow the world
And your mother is sleeping, she dreams of a girl
But the girl she is dreaming, your dream is her world
The Definition of truth
is lost in the telling
objectively cold
to an unwilling tide
so who are you now?
were you wounded by living?
have you buried perspective
screaming inside?
I see the choosers of the fallen
I see the promises they bind
Pre-Chorus:
God knows that I am fighting still
each step defining who I am
God knows that fate is armed with arrows
and she watches the battle field
Chorus:
And if I fall give me the strength
to rise unbroken
and where I stand
the courage and will to fight
that when I dream
these eyes discern my purpose and believe
that should I die
self sacrifice becomes this victory
There's a fragment of me
in the word I'm giving
A doorway is opened
if you listen to long
So who have you dreamed?
with the power of being?
Do you like who you are?
Do you like what you've done?
Valkyrie
Pre-Chorus:
God knows that I am fighting still
each step defining who I am
God knows that fate is armed with arrows
and she watches the battle field
Chorus:2X
And if I fall give me the strength
to rise unbroken
and where I stand
the courage and will to fight
that when I dream
these eyes discern my purpose and believe
that should I die
self sacrifice becomes this victory
Roll out of bed, look in the mirror
And wonder who you are
Another year has come and gone
Today is your birthday
But it might be the last day of your life
What will you do if tomorrow it's all gone?
You won't be young forever
There's only a fraction to the sum
You won't be young forever
Nor will anyone
So...
Look at your life, who do you want to be before you die?
Look at your life, what do you want to do?
Look at your life, who do you want to be before you die?
Look at your life, you haven't got forever
And tell me what really matters
Is it the money and the fame?
Or how many people might eventually know your name?
But maybe you touch one life
And the world becomes a better place to be
Maybe you give their dreams another day
Another chance to be free
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Look at your life, who do you want to be before you die?
Look at your, what do you want to do?
Look at your life, who do you want to be before you die?
Stand behind me
and above me
with voices plaguing
my deepest thoughts
And the visions
they keep coming
I keep hearing
my angel fall
in a dream
without a future
without a breath
to take away
and my resolve;
a higher being
with wings of ash
and eyes of fire
Don't blame me, I'm just the messenger
I don't know what the message means
Don't blame me, I'm just the messenger
I'm just the messenger don't blame me
As things will happen in this life
with no resolution,
the duality in men
requires constitution.
for the shame of hatred spent
might endure your sorrow
if your higher self is shackled
by your binary soul
[Spoken; transcribed] God is beyond concept in so much as all elements by which concepts can be proclaimed are incapable of describing principles beyond their spectrum. We as cognitive entites are incapable of thinking beyond the inherent limitations of our current evolution. Our minds are the most complex matter which we are capable of understanding.
creation's flaw;
the angels fell
without his grace
to light our path
I am the mirror
iam the destiny
I am the herald
who points the way
[Spoken; transcribed] There are no absolutes within the spectrum of truth simply because the limitations of our language do not allow for statements of precision to exist with hypothetical vulnerability. Logic is not flawless, it exists simply within the set boundaries in our physical world. There is in essence both in-sight and blindness alike within the observation.
The wounds I bear
have left me humbled
once a child of divinity,
but if my breathing
days be numbered,
Drag down - feel this fatal heart beat
So deep - like the pound, pound, pounding industry
Cry out - I heard you slowly waking
Drowned out and slowly making back the writhing line
They cut the bloodline in the center
and injected this hated strain
They cut the bloodline, they left it wanting
feeding on this youth's remains
And she goes
Give me the life - give me your love
Give me your innocence - give me the blood
Give me your life - give me your love
Give me your innocence - give me the blood
Give me the blood
Give me the blood
Fall out - that they left here from the time before
Fall down - this throb, throb, throbbing core
Reach out - but the words are so empty
Fold in and the edges fade to black
They cut the bloodline in the center
and injected this hated strain
They cut the bloodline, they left it wanting
feeding on this youth's remains
But we go
Give me the life - give me your love
Give me your innocence - give me the blood
Give me your life - give me your love
Give me your innocence - give me the blood
Give me the blood
Give me the blood
They take away...the very breath...to see it here and make it hurt
They want to feel this inside out...when all of you have hope to doubt
They want to try it in this soul...to drink it free and cut it whole
A sacrifice you will not give...you must not try...you will not live
Lighting whole...the light inside...you want to find the very high...
Bloodline
Give me the life - give me your love
Give me your innocence - give me the blood
Give me your life - give me your love
Give me your innocence - give me the blood
Give me the blood
Give me the blood
They try this fight...to make it free and dance inside this entropy
They view the cut...they fight the run to break it and fall there undone...
They're looking hard...the final dead...another face they cut it red...
they want to fight...they want to see...to capture you...
For eternity...
I see my black heart
Black heart and a hammer
Come and sing to me
Black heart and a hammer
Come and dance for me
Standing where she lay
Dancing on her grave
There's no life to save
Oh they killed em yesterday
All this makes no sense
It dies but it comes again
I just want to win
And never say your name again
Black heart and a hammer
Come and break for me
Black heart and a hammer
Come and die for me
Standing where she lay
Dancing on her grave
There's no life to save
I took it yesterday
All this makes no sense
It dies but it comes again
I just want to win
And never say your name again
Oh my black heart
No, no my black black heart
My black black heart
If your very, very quiet
and do not make a sound
I'll share a little secret
that seems a bit profound
Each thought that is imagined
gains life its own
and drifts into reality
looking for it's home
Some people call it Karma
some people call it fate
some people call it kindness
others call it hate
some people use it wisely
some people sell it cheap
some call it happiness
but others call it grief
tragedy from tragedy
a lovers kiss (that's simple)
religion falls behind the walls
where paradise remains
did suffering suggest the cause
of all our little questions
the answer was not coming soon
(Ka):
God is silent, only eyes from where I stand
Sunday's eclipse the monumental scale of man
Life leaves us parentless in a world I do not love
There's no causality for what I'm thinking of....
(Guardian Angel):
And I am the face you see within the mirror
And I am the hand that holds the fist away
And I am the dream forgotten in the morning
And I am......I am......
(Ba):
We are the faith of your tomorrows
let us breathe, let us see, let us be......
We are your prayers engulfed in sorrow
let us breathe, let us see, let us be......let us be......
(Akh):
Oh God I only need to see,
to share this light,
to make this hope,
to make it me......
(Ka):
Life may leave us, streatched across the soul we buried
Sunday moving slower when the loneliness sets in
and if our children die, before we reach our own demise,
then life is blacker still, blacker than the blackest fire.
(Guardian Angel):
And I am the face you see within the mirror
And I am the hand that holds the fist away
And I am the dream forgotten in the morning
And I am......I am......
(Ba):
We are the faith of your tomorrows
let us breathe, let us see, let us be......
We are your prayers engulfed in sorrow
let us breathe, let us see, let us be......let us be......
(Akh):
Oh God I only need to see,
to share this light,
to make this hope,
to make it me......
(all):
These mortal thoughts
They bind me up
They shackle me
And drag me down
I can't escape
I'm cut too deep
Left hanging here
In misery
Chains of hate
Chains of affection
Chains that want you
And chains of rejection
Chains immortal
Chains that die
Chains that shackle you
And chains that bind
I feel the tongue
That pulls me in
This chain of memories
This passion bends
I can't escape
I'm cut too deep
Left hanging here
In misery
Chains of hate
Chains of affection
Chains that want you
And chains of rejection
Chains immortal
Chains that die
Chains that shackle you
And chains that bind
Chains of hate
Chains of affection
Chains that want to
And chains of rejection
Chains immortal
Chains that die
Chains that shackle you
And chains that bind
Oh chain
Watching backwards as life like pictures
Stinging thoughts, born with phantoms
We danced above a world forgotten
Moments cherished...even now
A train-wrecked heart loves fairy tales
Singing from a gaping wound
However time has left unsettled
My memories play out of tune
You can't unmake a cold mistake
You can't undo the hearts you break
You can't erase the poet's fate
Not even if you try
And she had Audry Hepburn's smile
With deeper sadder eyes
The only thing she said
No one hears Cassandra cry
Because the earth is standing still
And the truth becomes a lie
A choice profound is bittersweet
No one hears Cassandra cry
A heartfelt sorrow I believe
Offered this for passion's crime
A crippled satellite trapped in orbit
My memories play out of time
You can't unmake a cold mistake
You can't undo the hearts you break
You can't erase the poet's fate
Not even if you ry...
The listless price of my descension
Where emptiness has pulled me down
Cascading from my divagation
Below the frozen winter skies
Pythonic sadness unreleased
As serpents rigid in cold
Waiting for the warmth of Sunday
Before the cruelty of growing old
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
Are you listening now?
Like Orpheus with hope intangled
Your path was mapped about your feet
Leading backwards into forgiveness
Reaching out in deadened night,
emptiness by candlelight,
Memory a haunted sea,
souring in sudden rage,
The Damage plagued upon my love,
driven by this selfish urge,
to separate yourself from me,
But not the way you planned,
The gambit flow of shifting thought,
shall ride a kiss upon my cross,
and with each moment of despair,
lay to heart a lovely tear.
Within each bulb the salty sea,
swims an ocean silently,
swims the forest of my dreams,
swims the essence of my being (...I call me)
Come ringing back now,
(can't explain),
The measures swept away in pain,
hatred will I escape your grasp,
buried feelings let me pass.
I cannot kill this final flame,
the fire that once consumed my heart,
for hope must have some kind of fuel,
and chance must keep this fire.
[Spoken] reduced to ashes, We run colder on the outside. A Spartan hope that dwindles near the source of this contempt. What has my hopeful certainty for the future returned upon my desperation and difficult memory, besides wasted moments, whose questions are not resolved? Simple things went un-addressed until such time as they could only pass away. Losing you shall (forever mark my breast. Injury knows no justice.)
Swimming out with tears in my eyes
looking for the shore,
I hope that this is the last time...
so I am lost
and I am found
with contradictions
I can’t resolve
so many paths
so many doorways to the truth
and when I dream
I know her face
but the mist obscures my way
reaching out to wipe these tearful eyes
once more
And here we go
around and around
abitter struggle plays out beneath my smile
and here we go
around and around
don’t fall, don’t fall for me
and with this sword
araging fire
carried by my souls desire
and visions of a world
inscribed to breathe
I do not feel
tell me what’s wrong with me
A dream of silver swans
lying in the dark
lost in separation
they follow me home
a dream of silver swans
swimming in my mind
filled with isolation
they follow me home
and when we touch
the shadows flee
with clues submerged in mystery
the physics of this second sight
has lead me here
so I am lost
and I am found
with contradictions
I can’t resolve
so many paths
so many doorways to the truth
and when I dream
I know her face
but the mist obscures my way
reaching out to wipe these tearful eyes
once more
And here we go
around and around
abitter struggle plays out beneath my smile
and here we go
around and around
don’t fall, don’t fall for me
and with this sword
araging fire
carried by my souls desire
and visions of a world
inscribed to breathe
I do not feel
tell me what’s wrong with me
A dream of silver swans
lying in the dark
lost in separation
they follow me home
a dream of silver swans
swimming in my mind
filled with isolation
they follow me home
and when we touch
the shadows flee
with clues submerged in mystery
the physics of this second sight
down on the other side of things
the triggers fast and light
bringing home this emptiness
for which you had to fight
it doesn't matter if you're giving
for they do not compromise
the world will keep you guessing
until the day you die
and everyone will say "I told you so"
yeah they'll all just nod and sigh
but I'll make a run at something real
and they'll never even try
and everyone will say "I told you so"
yeah they'll all just nod and sigh
as I go down in a ball of flames
they'll just watch, i wonder why
When the people downtown are freezing
sometimes you cannot hide
so what can you do its often true
that we shift away our eyes
but maybe that moment's ours to live
and maybe that's what we were for
as fate will share a chance with you
to open up your door
and everyone will say "I told you so"
yeah they'll all just nod and sigh
but I'll make a run at something real
and they'll never even try
and everyone will say "I told you so"
yeah they'll all just nod and sigh
as I go down in a ball of flames
they'll just watch, i wonder why
I don't understand
why you're just standing there
I don't understand
why you don't seem to care
and everyone will say "I told you so"
yeah they'll all just nod and sigh
but I'll make a run at something real
and they'll never even try
and everyone will say "I told you so"
yeah they'll all just nod and sigh
as I go down in a ball of flames
they'll just watch, i wonder why
and everyone will say "I told you so"
they'll all just nod and sigh
but I made a run at something real
and they never even tried
and everyone will say "I told you so"
yeah they'll all just nod and sigh
and tell me where I made my big mistake
When life has slipped behind this isolation
Cruelty & hatred have become
The cause of those whose eyes are full of wanting
The truth will still abandon none...
So you must carry this light into the darkness
You shall be a star unto the night
You will find hope alive among the hopeless
That is your purpose to this life
The lips draw words
And hands find actions
Still there is more within one heart
And to the silence, will you answer?
Before the chaos, will you come?
Do not injustice to another
Defend the weak & innocent
May truth & honor always guide you
Let courage find a life within
Stand up when no one else is willing
Act not in hatred or in spite
Be to this world as a perfect knight
Even if it means your life...
Here I am,
Alive among the injured and the dead
Here I am
Thy will be done
Sancta Sophia
Peace is born to your victory
Athena Sophia
How can I hope to live... what I cannot dream?
You cannot map the ways of divinity......
This much is known...
Only unto God
And through these doubts
And through your confusion
Know that you are chosen to this fight
Look to find a soul filled with compassion
Look to see a living source of light
Do not injustice to another
Defend the weak & innocent
Let truth & honor always guide you
Let courage find a life within
Stand up when no one else is willing
Act not in hatred or in spite
Be to this world as a perfect knight
Even if it means your life...
Here I am,
Alive among the injured and the dead
Here I am
Thy will be done
Sancta Sophia
Peace is born to your victory
Athena Sophia
And so it happens
My thoughts grow meaningless and forgotten
Just the colors of a faded dream
Left out in the rain to bleed
Life gets confusing
Prayers draw darkened in the course of my life
And I know that just to ask the questions
it takes courage and resolve
So you don't have to answer me if you don't want to
And you don't have to hold me close, just to calm my fears
It all becomes so meaningless, if there's no love here
A heart left to this Solus... disappears... I disappear
I disappear
Without you...
I disappear
It happens to me
My doubts are climbing for a better view
Nothing I could even hide from you
You know my heart and my mind... (but you still seem blind)
And then each action
What is the measure of a perfect soul?
It's something I could never really know
As I reach out hoping (you'll be there this time)
Feeling lost
Feeling forgotten
I have made life and experience from the imaginations of youth
I have slept a million nights below the darkness of silence
I am the incarnation of your delusions
Or your insights . . .
I am the voice of warning
I am the thread which ties life to reality
I am your guardian
You're gonna look fine
You're primed for dancing
You're gonna trip and glide
All over the trembling planes
Your diamond hands
Will be stacked with roses
And the wind and cars
And people of the past
I'll call you thing
Just when the moon sings
And place your things you stole
Upon every star
And gripped in the arms
Of the changeless madman and
We'll dance our lives away
In the Ballrooms of Mars
You talk about day
I'm talkin 'bout night time
When monsters call out
The names of men
Bob Dylan knows
And I bet Alan Freed did
There are things at night
That are better not to behold
You dance
With your lizard leather boots on
And pull the strings
That change the faces of men
You diamond browed hag
You're a gutter- gaunt gangster
John Lennon knows your name
And I've seen him
Dear angel
Where are your warming wings tonight?
It’s so cold outside
Won’t you hold me for a while
And angel
I feel alone and un-alive
The night is frozen
And these tears have stung my eyes
Dreams may pass and dreams may fade
Nothing I love will stay the same
Nothing ever stays the same
So angel
I feel so numb and so far away
I can see myself on the pavement where I lay
Oh angel
Why do I stare so?
What do I see?
Why do these lifeless eyes look that way back at me?
Dreams may pass and dreams may fade
Nothing I love will stay the same
Nothing under heaven stays the same
Dreams may pass and dreams may fade
Nothing I love will stay the same
So why does it happen
It disintegrates with time
Thermodynamics is tragically defined
With entropy's arrow the elegance concealed
Life and experience becoming so much less than real
In love everlasting hold tightly to the spark
Though the darkness surrounds you remember who you are
I found it here always and I hope you find it too
In love everlasting the angels will bring it back to
you
A song of perception to navigate your way
More precious each moment before it slips away
No concessions to sorrow there's power in your dreams
Your life is a gift filled with infinite possibilities
In love everlasting the sentience in the spark
In the end all that matters follows who you are
I found it here always and I hope you'll find it too
In love everlasting the angels are calling back to you
Both in science and history we express what we we know
But it's a guess I confess that you pleaded it best (?)
And the truth is tomorrow you must first undergo
You cannot claim godhood to know the unknown
In the central definition that no writers can see (?)
Right and wrong separated by a few degrees
So your knowledge is strength but it's not absolute
You must open your mind to the beautiful truth
In love everlasting hold tightly to the spark
Though the darkness surrounds you remember who you are
I found it here always and I hope you find it too
In love everlasting the angels are standing next to you
In love everlasting hold tightly to the spark
Though the darkness is all around you remember who you
are
I found it here always and I hope you'll find it too
In love everlasting the angels will bring this back to
you
In love everlasting the sentience in the spark
In the end all that matters believes in who you are
I found it here always and I hope you know it's true
In love everlasting the angels are singing back to you
Life detaches much less loved
A taste familiar but watered down
And each day passes into the next
Like television flickering unseen
I breathe
But I don't think about it
Anymore
It's become a habit
Those embers fragment
That fire was just a fracture
In the ice
Do you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Do you hear a voice from my side?
Sleepwalking
And poetry fills an empty room
With science broken and confused
And my desire becomes a pacifier
I need to feel alive and awake
Something aging in the water
In the damage to my soul
The wishing fire is still alive
And I think his heartbeat will not die
Cover your ears
Disguise the sound
Change your course
But don't turn around
These words you hear
Will drag you in
They'll swallow you
Don't let her win
Cover your ears
The hurt will end
But you mustn't break
And you mustn't bend
Don't look back
It's all the same
You can't go back
To that stupid game
The siren song
The siren song
The siren song
The siren song
And you give up
And when you give in
You'll dash your heart against the rocks
Close your heart
Close your eyes
Before you fall
To all these lies
It doesn't matter
It will never change
This hated element
Still remains
It still remains
It still remains
Cover your ears
Disguise the sound
Change your course
But don't turn around
These words you hear
Will drag you in
They'll swallow you
Don't let her win
Cover your ears
The hurt will end
But you mustn't break
And you mustn't bend
Don't look back
It's all the same
You can't go back
To that stupid game
The siren song
The siren song
The siren song
The siren song
Don't look back
You've got to be strong
You cannot listen
To the siren song
The siren song
The siren
The hand creates
And chiseled stone
Rises from beneath the striking
Hidden here below the fracture
The beautiful is corporal
The beautiful is real
I write these dreams
To make this world
Something more
Than hate and greed
I cast a vision
To change the tides
To give this world
What I have seen
Find the fate within the stone
The Cyphered dreams
Of love enduring
No winds shall come
To move this stone
For here I plant
My gift to you
A monument
Within the mind
The stone is breathing
The heart is beating
And my soul is present
In every word...
Galatea lives
And she will love you
While angels comfort
I should be ashamed for what you've done to me
It's only happened because I let it be
But no more
You are not wrong, you who believe
Your will defines your destiny
But if you act in selfish fear
Then truth means nothing
You are not wrong if you perceive
The message veiled in mystery
But if we bury what we dream
We're left with what remains
There is no vision that we surrender
Breathless time can take no prisoners
My avatar, I call you to return
And the cycle is fulfilled
I'm taking back my love, taking back my pride,
Taking back my dreams, and my life
This is the ground I will defend
A rage of angels bears the end
I'm taking back my hope, taking back my goals,
Taking back my memories, and my soul
This brand is forged to my crusade
Quicksilver, the future belongs to the brave
You are not wrong if you believe
Perception works its alchemy
And I become the phoenix once again
Transforming destiny
We brace before the fates descending
With resolution never ending
As Nike stands, her shield before me,
Sophia guide my hand
There is no wisdom that we surrender
Breathless time can take no prisoners
My avatar, I call you to return
And the cycle is fulfilled
I feel the wishfire burning cold
Black wings to fill the sky unfold
And nothing takes from God his storm
this beautiful saint is bleeding, fall poi-
son words as arrows fly, while distant
thoughts intrude like poetry, some
apprehension...and some regret.
why can't it be like it used to be?
why can't it be like it was?
here i am thinking about you- whenever
i close my eyes i'm dreaming of you.
And if i have to live my life without
you forever, i can close my eyes and
dream of you
life can be so cruel- take away these
regrets
a shiny insect, just a plaything? have
you ever heard the butterfly cry?
would you sacrifice beauty for the
adreneline? and would he hate you if he
died?
why can't it be like it used to be?
why can't it be like it was?
here i am thinking about you- whenever
i close my eyes i'm dreaming of you
And if i have to live my life without
you forever, i can close my eyes and
striking back for the last
heart attack
first you tip the scale
then they tip it back
this escalating trend
will never end
if they take from you
then you take from them
with less concern
for what is fair
to an unconsidered
blame you bear
this escalating trend
will never end,
if they take from you...
you take from them again
waking up from a dream into another day
never taking to heart all of the words they say
it so hard to believe if you never see
that the truth is split on the in-between
waking up from your dream into another day
never taking to heart all of the words they say
it so hard to believe because the truth is this:
what hatred breeds you must resist
Who was the first
and who was the last
did you count yourself
Or omit the past
this basic concept
begins again
when your actions flow
from the hate within?
I don't understand
why do you try
to make hatred and intolerance seem justified
I don't understand your prejudice and lies
tear down your ignorance open your eyes
if the heart is rich
then what you think you are
in your core beliefs
should not become a sword
this basic concept
is where it ends...
if you close your heart
then you begin again
I don't understand
why do you try
to make hatred and intolerance seem justified
I don't understand your prejudice and lies
tear down your ignorance open your eyes
waking from your dream state
I've seen the terrible hand of struggle
and felt the pain that hubris brings
I have tasted the wisdom of divinity
and the horror of its sting
And though they tell you i am lost
and their words report my death is come
the fates have left me breathing still
Very much alive
And though my mind is cut by battles
fought so long ago
I return victorious
I am coming home
And if the paths that I have followed
have tread against the flow
there is no need for sorrow
I am coming home
For the distance I have traveled
Upon and ocean of despair
have led me back into your arms once more
Opportunities are lost
In a starving shade of silence
And every battle fought
Has left me looking back
What we obtain through isolation
Often leads us deeper into war
So tell me how can I retreat?
Some things are worth fighting for
And how do we justify
When actions are conceived in weakness
Is there honor in my heart
If I lack the strength to act?
And though my hand is trembling
And my eyes are wreathed in so much doubt
And every instinct shows me fear
I stand my ground
We have no Olifant resounding
Nor fortunes here to carry home
No epic tale becoming legend
Only choices right and wrong
But somewhere in the haze of life
I find there is a perfect shining light
That each of us must seek to know
The truth of who we really are
So sing a song for Roland
And all of those who sacrificed their lives
Their colors traded in for
A world of black and white
So sing a song for Roland
And all of those who fought for what was right
You may never understand
For whom they died
Perhaps they will banish me
From the annals of history
In the end it matters not
We direct our destiny
I've lived beyond myself for an instant
And heard the echoes in the hearts and faces
Of the people I will never know
But I still cannot forget
So sing a song for Roland
And all of those who sacrificed their lives
Their colors traded in for
A world of black and white
So sing a song for Roland
And all of those who fought for what was right
You may never understand
For whom they died
So sing a song for Roland
And all of those who sacrificed their lives
Their colors traded in for
A world of black and white
So sing a song for Roland
And all of those who fought for what was right
You may never understand
Who knows what kind of reality the soul occupies,
and where it goes when the body ceases to function?
It has been my experience that all things follow patterns
miracles happen through the consistency of nature
I choose to believe that the same princi-
ple carries on beyond this reality that life
is unending, but ever changing…
I can feel you here, I can feel you here,
Rolling back towards the continent
instrumental forces die
save excitement for line behavior
signal shifting to enter flight
my back is burning
in the heat of the atmosphere
my engine roars
and the throttle cries
I'm not pulling on my navigation
bringing me down out of the sky
I've seen the face
It seems they've always been here
ten thousand years tonight
copy Houston, request location
signal over...Satellite
The madness creeping
with system failure
the image scatters
and the comlink fades
the red planet below me hungry
the red planet below me waits
(bridge)
Your window closes
I am crucified
there shall be no more mockery
of the gifts of the gods
no more comparisons
no more distortions
my heart is heavy as stone
I am Prometheus
all courses I am aware of from here
oh you, frail of heart
I am not without pity
take heed,
one final nail
unnamed / undriven
I see you watching
looking back at me
these hellish eyes
they are not mine
I see the blood and saliva
dripping from your tongue
did the angel fall?
when was this monster born?
Why do I sit here
staring at this face?
these wings of mine
they have been burned away!
these wings of mine
Mother of motion, the eyes can't capture time,
falling emotion, the blind now lead the blind,
we commit indescretions, and omit our sins from sight,
in a world of intangibles, too many things seem right
No hand to scribe, the sinking sickness I have seen,
no face to judge until you've been the monster I have been,
to hunger is noble, where beauty is silent sleep,
my hunger is noble, but my pain is driven deep.
Cruelty and consequence-cannot eliminate this relevance
Your selfishness, your hatefulness cannot take away my immanence
Cruelty and consequence-cannot eliminate this relevance
Your selfishness, your hatefulness cannot take away my innocence from me
Mother of motion, the eyes can't capture time,
falling emotion, the blind now lead the blind,
to hunger is noble, where beauty is silent sleep,
Something falls on the horizon
I see a silhouette disappear
And in the distance, I heard him cry
As he fell deeper, into this
(laughing)
Dull is life with a poets vice
Pretty, pretty girls and a lifetime of lies
Making something of another turn
Down an empty corridor
Smoking guns and apologies
Never given what you need
Scrap the simple games you play
And take them to the floor
Take back, take back your memory
Hitting hard, muscles bent in agony
Playing out your personal tragedy
Take back, take back the dancefloor
What's it for?
When life is shallow and the living's fast
Making love for things that'll never last
Forget your heart, forget your past
And live inside the moment
When tv's ugly and the sentiments cheap
And dreams are living outside of sleep
You can trust your heart to make you weak
And break down your fear of safety
Take back, take back your memory
Hitting hard, muscles bent in agony
Playing out your personal tragedy
Take back, take back the dancefloor
Project your heart, project your soul
Use your body, take control
(repeat 3x)
When you'd make it crisp, much sharper to see
Like the spaces hidden inbetween
The candy faces are all I need
To make my heartbeat faster
Laying claim in a crowded room
To the sounds of thumping buzzcut zoo
Ask forgiveness if you fail
But take the floor for me
Take back, take back your memory
Hitting hard, muscles bent in agony
Playing out your personal tragedy
Take back, take back the dancefloor
(repeat)
Project your heart, project your soul
Use your body, take control
(repeat 3x)
Where the light burns a little brighter
where the shadows dance on the walls
where holy men hide their holy secrets
the sacredness of life is sold
standing under gold and silver
I see the procession rise
seated in his thrown of power
he proceeds to close his eyes
They try but the stone has broken
they try but the ceiling falls
they try but there's no momentum
they try but don't we all
na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na,
I am the Angel
you are the hands that grab me
I am forgotten
and you are alone
justification-
perfect stimulation
make me a treasure....
make me a gun.
I am the mountain
that watches the valley
pretending the answer
lies under my thumb
I am your secret
that makes you feel stronger
that makes you act colder
when I'm around
I am the Angel
you are the hatred
that has sipped my blood
and broken my wing
I am forgotten
but you are forgiven
still I long for the sleep
that never comes to me
I am empty.....
I am cold.....
I am cold.....
And if you find your Ilium
And if you find your Troy
I hope you feel the pain I felt
Twice upon your sword + Aeneas on your noble hands
My life shall stain with blood
Let Dido's curse rest in the mind
A shade begot by love
Carthage shall this grudge recall
Upon your seven hills
And nothing less than misery
Will remind you who you killed + And though you will hate I suffer now
The truth is deeper still
For I love you with my dying breath
And I know I always will
Beyond this world into the next
Don't ask me to surrender
Her voice fell tired and spent
My hopes and dreams, a silent heart
I carry here within
Her outstretched wings, left tattered
A sail aged with rust
A breath in time, that's yours and mine...
It belongs to only us.
And I will write her name and cast it to the sky
Silhouettes recede into a mother's tearful eyes
A host of angels clamor to her side
A light dissolves to kiss the wind,
Release the dragonfly.
See the rose within the field of white
She's searching for the grail
But the rain descends to snatch the light
From distant dying suns
A faint resounding in the night
Calls angels wings to beat
Singing silent lip-sewn songs
But the distance is too deep...
And I will write her name and cast it to the sky
Silhouettes recede into a mother's tearful eyes
A host of angels clamor to her side
A light dissolves to kiss the wind,
Release the dragonfly
And I will write her name and cast it to the sky
As precious moments will slip away in time
Angels fall from grace, and sometimes heroes die
But tonight, my love, ascend the gates,
Release the dragonfly
And I will write her name and cast it to the sky
Silhouettes recede into a mother's tearful eyes
A host of angels clamor to her side
A light dissolves to kiss the wind,
Release the dragonfly
And I will write her name and cast it to the sky
As precious moments will slip away in time
Sometimes angels fall, but love will never die
Tonight my soul is something more
She cries, children often do
When they're cold, and hungry too,
Come closer, look deeply in her eyes
So delicate, quite unlike her smile
Life clinging backwards,
In the fall of dread confusion,
Still this silence gnaws upon your fingertips,
All-yielding prayer, for instant isolation,
Far more sinister than the price of doubt,
Yet you remain,
Still you remain,
And she says:
Pray for daylight,
Pray for morning,
Pray for an end to our deception,
Pray for daylight,
Pray for morning,
Pray for an end to our deception...
Life clinging backwards,

Yet you remain,
Still you remain,
And she says:
Pray for daylight,
Pray for morning,
Pray for an end to our deception,
Pray for daylight,
Pray for morning,
Pray for an end to our deception..
(violin solo)
Pray for daylight,
Pray for morning,
Pray for an end to our deception,
Pray for daylight,
Pray for morning,
Pray for an end to our deception..
(I will defend her...)
(I will defend her...)
(I will defend her...)
(I will defend her...)
By vigil's light this night to keep
Watching eyes fall over her
Moments lost, fragments unseen
But I will still be here
They say this cause is lost
And she will not return to me
They say that she is gone
And this is just a shell unliving
And through the dark of the morning
She fades, but I will not leave here
Fight back the demons around us
Love lives, and I will defend her
And through the dark of the morning
She fades, but I will not leave here
Fight back the demons around us
Love lives, and I will defend her
I will defend her
By dancing light alone in the darkness
My eyes play tricks with the shadows
Prayers for miracles seem to pass unheard
But I am with her still
They say this cause is lost
And she will not return to me
They say that she is gone
And this is just a shell unliving
And through the dark of the morning
She fades, but I will not leave here
Fight back the demons around us
Love lives, and I will defend her
And through the dark of the morning
She fades, but I will not leave here
Fight back the demons around us
Love lives, and I will defend her
(I will defend her...)
(I will defend her...)
(I will defend her...)
(I will defend her...)
There is no fact, that cannot be challenged
No course of fate, we cannot repair
The means to an end is in the beginning
Strength to endure, comes out of despair
Where there is love, there is life
And where there is life, there is hope
(There is hope..)
And in hope we find the sight to see
The essence of divinity
They say this cause is lost
And she will not return to me
They say that she is gone
And this is just a shell unliving
And through the dark of the morning
She fades, but I will not leave here
Fight back the demons around us
Love lives, and I will defend her
And through each moment believing
She knows, that I will not leave her
One life held fast to another
Love lives, and I will defend her
And through the dark of the morning
She fades, but I will not leave here
Fight back the demons around us
Love lives, and I will defend her
And through each moment believing
She knows, that I will not leave her
One life held fast to another
Love lives, and I will defend her
(I will defend her...)
(I will defend her...)
(I will defend her...)
(I will defend her...)
The day is withering
Broken by the weight of the tide
All shadows past
Grow longer
Till they smother light
and leave no trace
For evidence
And the final light has fallen silent
to me resurrection follows [of these]
Leave this among
the dreams dreamt
Of love shared
Of gods challenged
In victory of the mortal chains
Snatched away
In the attempt
All the little children
All dressed in black
With their darkened eyes
And holy artifacts
Mamas watch your babies
Keep them safe and sound
Don't let them play in graveyards
Don't let them find this out
You may be sorry
You may be sorry Babe
purarities speaking
Are rising from their mouths
It must be the devil
Making these horrid sounds
Speak no evil, baby
Your daddy told you twice
Don't be so short of free
Lost only in the night
You may be sorry
You may be sorry
Powdered cheeks and perfumed skin
The midnight cold corrosion
my destined fingers wander
Sent by old... explosion
[comes heralding cold to beat]
Another hand to feed
like fish within the net
Like babies cold in sleep
Caught in sleep
[spoken]
destined... pebbles...
let me fall quickly into sin
in turn...rain on my warriors...
let thunder cry out lies
and decayed vagrancy
...on my thinning lips...
You may be sorry
You may be sorry
May be
Languid waves of desperation
Fall before the rains
A vanguard to approaching war
Is borne upon the sea
The icy breath of cyclones bent
On waging our destruction
Drills hard against the hearts of heroes
Called here to defend
I see storms on the horizon
I see the tempest at the gates
I see storms on the horizon
And a citadel alone
Clinging brave defying fate
And I will stand here at the gates to face the onslaught fighting
Without surrender or defeat
With Troy besieged by tyrants' greed - (tyranny)
In Hector's memory, God willing
We shall save this victory
Without surrender or defeat
Sudden silence - I realize
Breaking teardrops in the rain
With every breathing moment
The pillars are sustained
Waking hands attached to nothing
Tightly clutching close
Each sleeping vision speaks unheard
And heaven only knows (exactly why)
Paris' arrow landed true
Paris' arrow landed true
Paris' arrow landed true
Down upon your heel...
This Troy
She will not fall again
This Troy
