when frightened by change
serenity clings to my sleep
and wonders remain
their world will inherit it's meek
and wicked's the taste
you feel when the mysteries arise
i've fallen from grace
because of her treacherous eyes
you don't know
so alone
i'm coming home
and beauty's disdain
attends to these virtuous lies
she tries to restrain
the ardent and amorous eyes
and wicked's the taste
you feel when mysteries arise
i've fallen from grace
because of her treacherous eyes
you don't know
so alone
i'm coming home

Driven by restrained desire
I want what I need
Shaking as her sex takes hold
I've lost all control
Temptation
Temptation
Drowning in a sea of rage
I taste the embrace
Helpless as it steals my soul
I've lost all control
Temptation
It never lets you down
Temptation
One foot in the ground
We exist in a world
Where the fear of illusion is real
And we cling to the past
To deny and confuse the ideal
Once inside we conceive and
Believe in a God we can't feel
Destined by a fate so cruel
And drugged to delight
Laughing as these lies unfold
I've lost all control
Temptation
It never lets me down
Temptation
One foot in the ground
Temptation
You satisfy my soul
Temptation
I've lost all control

turn the lamp down low
shelter me
turn the lamp down low
rising up to see
please don't go
do you feel a flame that's burning
as the candle dies
do you see the spirits stirring
as you close your eyes
do you sense the slow advancement
as the twilight thins
do you see the serpent dancing
as it sheds it's skin
turn the lamp down low
please don't go
does the sun renounce it's kingdowm
as the shadows fall
does a fool rejoice in wisdom
when the raven calls
do you embrace the dancing clayman
as he tears your flesh
do you hear the souls screaming
in the serpent's mesh
turn the lamp down low
please don't go
do you need the consolation
of a dead man's hand
as the tears of desolation
flood a dead man's land
do you seek your soul's redemption
under fervent skies
don't you see your own reflection
in the serpent's eye

we fear what we see in the distance
we're shattered by life's soft deceit
enslaved to our thoughts by our reason
refusing to walk with the weak
betrayed by the past's desolation
we slept listless nights by the shore
searching for signs of salvation
hoping to find something more
tell me what i have when it all slips away
tell me what i see when the light fades away
tell me what i hold in the palm of my hand
tell me what i feel because i'm trying
to understand
i'm sending transmission
confused by the weight of our virtue
we follow the paths of the slain
in silence we walk through these shadows
embracing the pleasures of pain
once again

When it bends you try to walk a straight line
Something more for less and in the meantime
It changes shape and shifts it takes you over
Its just a warning sign
Because the writing's on the wall
The writing's on the wall
You make a deal you swear that its the last time
No sudden moves or else your soul will be mine
And when you dance you're dancing with the devil
Its just a warning sign...
You're running out of time
You can't relate, you still escape
Because you think you've seen it all
You're right on time until you find
They've just been waiting for the fall
Because the writing's on the wall
The writing's on the wall
When it bends you try to walk a straight line
Something more for less and in the meantime
It changes shape and shifts it takes you over
Its just a warning sign
You can't relate, you still escape
Because you think you've seen it all
You're right on time until you find
They've just been waiting for the fall
The Writing's on the wall
The Writing's on the wall
It's seven-hundred stories tall
The Writing's on the wall
Take your time it's a state of mind
Take your time just until you find
Take your time it's a state of mind
The Writing's on the wall
The Writing's on the wall
It's seven-hundred stories tall
The Writing's on the wall

catatonic listless creature
try to comprehend
everything you've ever wanted
is around the next bend
don't try to fake it
i see you shaking
it doesn't mean a thing
look at you, the freak attraction
in this carnival of souls
failing all negotiations
you'll be the next sold
don't try to fake it
i see you shaking
it doesn't mean anything
now love, don't make a sound
reach down and touch the ground
emptiness is almost certain
like an automatic dream
you're closing in on the final curtain
you're on the next scene

a view from a broken window
i can hardly breathe
alouds are forming faces
and they laugh at me
strange desires
under friendly skies
but it's alright it still feels nice
it's taking me away
i'm seeking shelter from the pain
i'm holding on again
holding on again
seeking shelter from the pain
it gives me a line and i cross it
an acrobat graced with skill
getting your freedom's easy
surviving it's harder still
strange desires
under friendly skies
but it's alright it still feels nice
it's taking me away
i'm seeking shelter from the pain
i'm holding on again
holding on again
seeking shelter from the pain
and the race is on
i;m all out of sync now
and the hands withdraw
i;m out of sync now
is there nothign more
it's taking me away
i'm seeking shelter from the pain
i'm holding on again
seeking shelter from the pain
it's taken me

[Instrumental]

imagine this,
if it all falls in place
and your love,
under will, comes as grace
all you'll see is mystery face to face
would you tell
should you speak
could you say
that the love
that you feel's
come of age
all you see is mystery and obey
and put your arms around her waist
remember all forgotten days
the seduction song
this white water siren song
circles me
circles you
circles all
and enchants
and delights
and enthralls
all we see is mystery
all in all
everyone's a star that shines
all we see in life are signs
should i tell
could i speak
could i say
that my love
under will's
glimpsed its grace
all i see is mystery
and i obey

tell me lady, shining sun
to feel the warmth that's come undone
do you sleep in sympathy
and if it's true
walk with me
all of the while you were here
all of the while you were near
in the twilight the idols speak
and in the twilight you'll always seek
as sentimental forgotten friend
who will always love you
until the end
all of the while you were here
all of the while you were near
and now you serch for the ideals
you'll find a vice that always heals
the open wounds, the bleeding hearts
yet still they'll say
you're torn apart
all of the while you were here
all of the while you were near
come on lady walk with me
come on lady talk with me
can't you see i'm all alone
this loneliness i can't condone
come on lady hold my hand
take me to your shadowland
sleep while in sympathy
come on lady walk with me

i don't need your redemption
i don't want you to deceive me
and I don't need your forgiveness
i only want you to believe me
do you see me here
i'm standing naked
do you see me here on my knees
now all my life i've been wandering
looking for teachers with the keys
nothing found still searching
for sound...
underground
now let me tell you about a story
it's about a man consumed with vice
theosophical in nature
and hedonistic in disguise
and all my life he's been wandering
searchign for teachers with the keys
nothing found still searching for sound
underground...

silence swimming in a pool of dreams
beneath its depths the forgotten streams
above, the city of the evening star
behind its walls, the grand bazaar
as she walks through its endless maze
cursing those who mistrust her ways
please my friend no matter what she sees
tell my lover come back to me
doorways spilling out their sombre light
casting shadows that will raid the night
along the alleys of her ruling fears
walk the visions that will cause her tears
lying still as she wills her glance
through the eyes of a charmer's trance
please my friend no matter what she sees
tell my lover come back to me
and on the walls
shadows play
twilight souls
anguished ways
lost adrift
severed seas
i await you
come to me

[Instrumental]

I'm the unseen
I'm disbelief...I'm undone
You are a dream
You are desire...You're the one
If you show me what I'm missing
If you tell me I would listen to you
Guide me through the night
And please...watch over me
And please...
And please...watch over me
Because I can't carry on...without you
These are the days
When everything's changed...look around
Dancing I fall
I fall through these cracks that surround
If you show me what I'm missing
If you tell me I would listen to you
Guide me through the night
And please...watch over me
And please...watch over me
And please...watch over
I'm burning like a fire without end
As I'm turning into storm clouds twisting in the wind
I surrender everything...remember everything
And please...watch over me
Because I've fallen down
And I can't carry on
No I won't carry on...without you

Sailing down, down the Styx again,
Without you my love, I want to return but then,
I see all my friends, they want me to join but then,
They all melt away, without you alone.
And the river's running through my veins.
Lately she don't seem the same.
And the blood keeps calling out my name.
I pass by the sins, left by a different man,
The tides brought them here, cast by a different hand.
And the wisps of the winds, blow with the Styx again.
Pushing me on, without you alone.
And the river's running through my veins.
Lately she don't seem the same.
And the blood keeps calling out my name.
And the river running down
And the river running down
And the river running down
And the river
My will must be strong, to rise with a different light.
My will must belong, I'm still pushing for different heights.
And the wisps of the winds blow with the Styx again.
The river runs red, and I'm left alone.
And the river's running thru my veins.
Lately she don't seem the same.
And the blood keeps calling out my name.
And the river's running.
Help me baby

got a letter from a messenger
i read it when it came
it said that you were wounded
you were bound and chained
you had love and you were handled
you were poisoned you were pained
oh no you were naked
you were shamed
you could almost touch heaven
right there in front of you
liberty just slipped away on us
now there's so much work to do
oh the door that closes tightly
is the door than can swing wide
oh no not expecting to collide
for a minute i let my guard down
not afraid to be found out
i completely forgot dear
what our fears were all about
oh no there's no need to be without
if there's a chance i would take it
this desire i can't kill
take my heart please don't break it
i will crawl to your foothill
i'm frightened but i'm coming
please baby please lay still
oh no i'm not coming for the kill

so there i was in a time without a place
and a messenger came
he knew my name
called it out sought me out
he said, "god is dead and the devil reigns us all
it's a mystery to solve, so to save your face
know your place and fall from grace"
i never felt then so alone
was nothing sacred i've been shown
i feel i'm sinking like a stone
in the interzone...now
in this place all our cultures could collide
still religion divides
it's a sad excuse, such abuse
i tell the truth
i know all is one but still nothing seems the same
it's a mysterious game
so now on my mark from the start
let's all fall apart
have you ever felt then so alone
where nothing's sacred nothing's shown
and you feel you're sinking like a stone
in the interzone now

alone, left here in dust
amidst my fears and doubts
life's shattered dreams I could have
gone without
now chthonic life has set its sights on
making me a slave to its ways
i wait for return
until then my soul it burns
and it burns only for you...
i'll be with you soon...
night it falls on me endlessly
and i search for you in this blindness
i'm a prodigy of lust and loss
'till sleep comes down
i can't explain, this disdain remains
this treason i can't reason
they left me here for dead my dear
barely breathing, but i'm still breathing
now i see a light
it's shining from above
i think they've finally come
the halcyon days
I'm crawling now up
towards the sound
vengeance moves so swiftly
i've conquered fear
i've shed my tears
now i'm seething, barely breathing
now i see a light
shining from above
i think they've finally come
the halcyon days

if fate holds a purpose
you feel fate will lend a hand
it saves face deserts you
it deals grace from underhand
and every time the past's awakened
every time your soul starts breaking
you can't stand the distance
you can't stand to not be afraid
you won't show resistance
you can't seem to run away
because every time the past's awakened
every time your soul starts breaking
in the face of the fire
you see angels conspire
will they hear your desires
will they stop your soulbreaking
could they stop your soulbreaking
you won't say you're hurting
you still dream in the undertow
just a safe place a haven
just a kind face just to overthrow
every time the past's awakened
every time your soul starts breaking
in the face of the fire
you see angels conspire
will they hear your desires
will they stop your soulbreaking
could they stop your soulbreaking
will they stop your soulbreaking
could i stop your soulbreaking
please love
every time the past's awakened
every time my soul starts breaking

when the winter was over
she returned there to find him
and her memories filled her with light
she remembered the beauty
she remembered desires
and her memories filled her with light
i am the sun in the flame
cold from the flame turns away
and in these winds came a change
she awakes...
sister walk through these fields of delight
but i want you to know
desperation's the tenderest trap
so gently you go
what will it take
sister awake
when this beutiful cult of desire
has left you for dead
isolation will cradle the lies
of things left unsaid
what will it take sister awake
and you'll look to the heavens above
and taste it's deceit
these temptations have blinded desires
to sleep at their feet
what will it take
sister awake
and you'll hear them call out your name
invoking the fates
chances are you've travelled too far
in stirring their hate
what will it take
sister awake
awake

silent spirit walks before me
with her beauty and with her eyes
heaven help me
i feel i'm fading
i should rest here
for a while
in the dreamtime i'm awakened
as my senses seize the night
heaven help me
i'm forsaken
i should rest here
for a while
and lie in the bed you've made ophelia
dry are the lips that lost their taste of love
drown in the waters that would give you life
cry as this lamentation thrusts its knife
in silence
in silence
SILENCE

we are spirits passing through the doors of time
with an invitation heard before we find
shadows on the mountainside
eagles find the souls they hide
and the outcast child enchanted by the sun
will he seek his shelter never knowing one
shadows on the mountainside
eagles find the souls they hide
shadows on the mountainside
cover me with sleep
because i need it now
and the red rivers flow to seas
and she will return to me
and then all that i am is in her hands
and i will return to her and then
i begin

please would you tell me my friend
which direction is the way
because i'm lost, i'm confused
the reality we choose
is a long, long way from the dream
all you'll feel is pain and suffering
wading through samsara
yes but i've heard that before
from those teachers of dreams
but it's old and it's cold
i just can't feel it in my soul
am i damned to a life of extremes
all you'll feel is pain and suffering
wading through samsara
but i've looked to the east
and i've prayed in the west
what i knw, i've seen
you just couldn't imagine
where i've been
and i feel at this time
i just need to rest
and i'd like us to stay here
i would love us to stay here
would you let me stay here, please...

and you say life is bitter sweet
you've tried so gracefully
but its faceless company has let you down
say it comes to this
all the things you'd miss
a requiem won't change your fate
lost and they set you free
concerned by what they'd see
and you begged on bended knee
still they let you down
say it comes to this
all the things you'd miss
a requiem won't change your fate
it passes over you
passes over
say it comes to this
all the things you'd miss
a requiem won't change your fate
it passes over you
passes over you
passes over
so soon
this requiem
this requiem
this requiem

i want the world to wake
i want to give you peace
i want to vindicate
you need to be released
don't want to hurt you
i need to make you see
if i desert you
it's just to make you see
that i'm a man that's weak
and i'm a man that's lost
i gave it all away
to complicate the cost
don't want to hurt you
i need to make you see
if i desert you
it's just to make you see
i'm not going to hurt you now
i need to make you see
if i desert you now
it's just to make you see
i want you to be free
i want you to be free from me

I saw a face in the mirror
That made my blood run clear
I think I've waited to long
I went along for the ride
she complicated the slide
I went to take her hand
I couldn't feel a pulse
Senseless is pleasure
Nothing's forever
the sooner you see
You can't deny me
I had a dream that within
a celebration of sin
You do a dance with denial
I only wanted a friend
To see a beautiful end
She went to take her hand
She couldn't feel a pulse
Senseless is pleasure
Nothing's forever
the sooner you see
You can't deny me

you wanted this
so sad to see
the sweet decay
of ecstasy
and you want it all
a frozen sun
will guide you there
as shadows hide
the deep despair
i'll give you something more
and you'll fade away
one last kiss before
you fade away
so sleep tonight
in idle dreams
the pain will drown
your silent screams
and you want it all
i'll give you something more
and you'll fade away
one last kiss before
you fade away
lives you once adored
will fade away
lies you can't ignore
you soon repay
as you fade away

so now that your faith's gone who are you going to trust?
now that your conscience is crawling in the dust
i've been meaning to tell you sister
i've been meaning to tell you all
i'm carved from the chaos and stained by it's reprise
and i've introduced myself for centuries
i've been meaning to tell you sister
about the master and margarita
but if you fuel the addiction you suckle its disease
and it drags you down
drags you down
please don't turn around
you're broken and battered you've tried with all amain
weaned by distraction your story stays the same
i've been meaning to tell you sister
about the master and margarita
but walking through raindrops it fuels it's own disdain
and it drags me down
(all you needed was an open invitation)
it drags me down
(you said yourself you said you craved the complications)
you drag me down
(you know the one who made you make the dedication)
it drags me down
(you sell yourself you sell your soul)
please don't turn around

You paint such a pretty picture
You fuel my desire
But destiny's always uncertain
When fate's still in style
I've travelled the road of excess
I've learned to survive
I picked up the devil he told me
He wanted to drive...
I'm watching the rain clouds come
And wash over me
And I fall down wasted
I overload
I overload
Overload
So precious the smallest of mercies
I hold to my chest
I'm finding it's taking forever
To sing every breath
But I know what I've said
I know what I've done
But I'm taking a break from reason
Because I still want some fun
I'm watching the rain clouds come
And wash over me
I'm searching for someone, something
To satify me
I'm watching the rain clouds come
And wash over me
And I fall down wasted
I overload
So satisfy everything
And damn the dismay
Because pleasure becomes the puppet
Before your mistakes
So sing, all along, sing every song
Louder, louder now...
I'm watching the rain clouds come
And wash over me
I'm searching for someone, something
To satify me
I'm watching the rain clouds come
And wash over me
And I fall down wasted
I overload
I overload
I overload
I overload
I overload

I know your name, I heard you call
A distant voice behind the wall
Something stands in our way
She said
She said
I know a place where we can go
Where on one cares and no one knows
If it's passion or play
You speak in tongues
You read my mind
I'd give it all
To see a sign
But you're taking forever
Time stands still and you stay
One step closer away
Will it take us forever
And so, I climbed the wall, I needed proof
Uncertain signs, need certain truths
With every step you take
She said, she said
You need to search, between the seams
You need to twist within the dream
You're one step closer away
You speak in tongues
You read my mind
I'd give it all
To see a sign
But you're taking forever
Time stands still and you stay
One step closer away
Will it take us forever
Time stands still and you stay
One step closer away
Will it take us forever
You've always been
You've always known
That all this time
I've been alone
I've always searched
For what I've lost
Beneath a rose
Behind a cross
You're always there
You're everywhere
Will it take us forever
You speak in tongues
You read my mind
I'd give it all
To see a sign
But you're taking forever
Time stands still and you stay
One step closer away
Will it take us forever
Time stands still and you stay
One step closer away
Will it take us forever

Where are you going
Can I follow
Because distance is hard to swallow
You should stay a while
Let's have a drink
Let's have a laugh
You feel power
And no worries
If that's so
Then what's your hurry
If you've got to go
There's just one thing I've got to ask
If I promise an ocean
Would you care for the notion of
Staying here and resting your weary head
It's all that she said
Well the sky's changed
That's for certain
You smile says
What you working
Time heals all
This we know
We'll work it out
And if I promise an ocean
Would you care for the notion of
Staying here and resting your weary head
And would you come back and see me, or
Angel am I dreaming because
Heaven knows that I'll miss you so
And that's a fact
Look now where I'm at
I miss you so
Look now where I'm at
I can't let go
There's more questions
Than there's answers
I'm not taking any chances
Because I need to let you know
Just how I feel
And if I promise an ocean
Would you care for the notion of
Staying here and resting your weary head
And would you come back and see me, or
Angel am I dreaming because
Heaven knows that I'll miss you so
And that's a fact
Look now where I'm at
I miss you so
Look now where I'm at
I miss you so
Look now where I'm at
I miss you so
I can't let go
I miss you so

do you feel the same again
a return to the within
trying hard to make amends
for your failings and your faults
and this life
it makes you wonder
you feel no shame
to come undone
it must must
must come like the sun
"another glimpse please, a revelation"
it must must
must come like the sun
so you want to be my friend
well heaven help you if you fall
you see catastrophically content
got a witness he knows all
all my life
it's made me wonder
it must must
must come like the sun
"another glimpse please, a revelation"
it must must
must come like the sun
Must Must

you've been looking for god
you've been down on your knees
will the angels believe you now?
wanting more than the bliss of a beautiful kiss
from the lips of the one who fell
well it's hard to tell?br>
it's like an opium dream
through your psyche it streams
it relieves and believes the pain
that you fought in vain
oh no... please don't
wave goodbye wave goodbye
because you're sleeping tonight
sleeping tonight
safe in the arms of morpheus
you've escaped through these means
these delirious dreams
helped to shelter and soothe your soul
the regrettable roles
the salvation they sold
satisfied your desire to burn and now you've learned?
oh no... please don't
wave goodbye wave goodbye
because you're sleeping tonight
sleeping tonight
safe in the arms of morpheus
and we're waving goodbye
you're sleeping tonight
safe in the arms of morpheus
