Revolution
06:23
|
|
||
You hope one day to feel less of this confusion
To find that lasting peace is more than an illusion
But then you wake to face another revolution
And as the world keeps turning
You feel you're left behind
Is there another world beyond this cold existence
Can hope return to us despite our own resistance
I wish the light would come and filter through this distance
I hope one day to feel less of this confusion
To find that lasting peace is more than an illusion
But as I wake each day it is to revolution

The Mist
03:00
|
|
||
Where is your hand oh my love
Lost in the mist I can't see
Paths where we walked are no more
And the light in your eyes has grown dim
Oh my love
Light in your eyes has grown dim
Once I could I could hear through the woods
Your voice as you called out my name
Finally fading away
Silence is all that remains
Now my love
Silence is all that remains
And that which I deemed without end
Draws to a close without time
Find for yourself a new dream
Though in our hearts we will grieve
For lost love
Though in our hearts we will grieve

Devoid of Light
06:03
|
|
||
Who knows what we tell the dark
When shadows close around blotting out
Our only light our only hope
Do you long, to be more than this
This life deludes between the days
Await release without hope again and again
In the Darkness shadows in mourning
Realms of silence lead the night
I am nobody's child, a ragged creature
Impoverished at your behest in my silence
When there's no warmth left in the sun
As the days draw by when we hide
In the world in the darkness
Shadows mourning, lead the night
Here where I hide without your compassion
In a world devoid of warmth
In a world devoid of light
Is the face that deludes my perfection
Or my perversion continually turning
Towards the sky over and over again and again
|

We see the sin before the saint
We see the curse before the blessing
We shake the little that remains
Until we are left with nothing
Look beyond the flesh, look beyond the mind
We see the freak before the person
We see the scars before the healing
We hear the lie before the reason
We crave the answer not it's meaning
We seek the judgement and not the understanding
We see the house and not the place we shared
We look past the story to the ending
We see the tears and not the soul you bared

To Bid Farewell
03:56
|
|
||
Too soon, you slipped away
Those doors opened once again
My friend I miss you so
But you left something here below
Today, through meadows of our minds
We remember your dear life
Goodbye - and though we weep
Painless now you sleep
Gathered here
Each to relay
The love, words fail
We all try in our way
To bid farewell
(Dedicated to Timothy Cooper 1969-2006)

Two Gods
04:54
|
|
||
I'll take you by the hand and make you one
And leave you by the river when I'm done
And walk across the water to the sun
Two gods
Bet on two gods
I'm naked and I'm hungry in my room
I'm tearing arms from deities for fun
This hell is like a holiday with guns
Two gods
Bet on two gods
I'll bring a little magic to your room
And pass to the assassin who has none
He's taking out the tyrant for his son
Two gods
Bet on two gods
Two gods
Are better than one

10. |
|
|||
In the glow of the autumn sun
We walk again in fallen leaves
And as I draw you near
I hear the sound of the bells from faraway
Carried on the breeze
Bringing with it all this yearning
To be at peace again
In the chill of the winter wind
I walk again in solitude
And as I bow my head
I hear the echoes of things long passed away
Carried on the air
Bringing with them all this yearning
To be at peace again

Fallen Leaves
03:32
|
|
||
See the shadows you leave behind
As your final share of time
Draws nearer
Who is standing by your side
Grieving as you cling to life
Growing weaker
So all these years come and pass us by
Fallen leaves that feed the earth
From which another tree grows
From seeds we have sown
And none of us knows when the cycle will end
See the light you leave behind
As your final share of time
Draws nearer
see their faces by your side
They bid farewell to a precious life
Growing weaker
So all these years come and pass us by
Fallen dead leaves feed the earth
From which no other trees grow
though seeds have been sown
The living must know now
The cycle has ended
But what have we sown?

Dying
01:26
|
|
||
Dying from the fear of death
Could this be my final breath?
Hold my head up to the light
Darker now my fading sight
Carried on the turning tide
Further ever from your side
I have felt the longing grow
All my deeds lie wasted now
I am longing to be free
I am calling out to thee
But your voice is gone from me
Now your voice has gone from me...

Storm
07:56
|
|
||
Come now to me
From this hell you've seen
Lost to the sea
I have seen you grieve
Your tears have torn
Shot down in your wars
Weather the storm
I've lived through them all
They bleed they fall
So few hear my call
I am the door
I would gather all
Do you hear my call
I have lived through the storm
Shot down in all your wars
I have bled and given all
