Dead calm
Raining all over me Too late Sense of mortality Dark skies Threaten to swallow me Down to the flame While my flesh and my bone melt away I defy you to stand on the crack in the ice With the power of your hand On the crack in the ice Men Raped and discarded Are left dead The vultures will feed on them Lost cause Tearing this life apart Thrown to the flame While my flesh and my bone melt away I defy you to stand on the crack in the ice With the power of your hand On the crack in the ice Take this moment so close to my heart You held the white rose out Just before we parted Take this moment so far away in dreams I can feel the thorns bite But the flower died, it seems Hold this feeling so close to my heart You brought the passion out Just before we parted Hold this feeling so far away in dreams I can feel the thorns bite But the flower starts to bleed I defy you to stand on the crack in the ice With the power of your hand On the crack in the ice |

Lying here
Can't even feel the cold Just a tingle in my spine A bitter line of hope Lying here Can't even see the sky Just a tingle in my fingers A shiver in my soul Don't walk towards the light Still got those pins and needles Turn back, embrace the night Am I ready to be judged like this? Lying here Can't even turn my head Just a tingle in my feet A shimmering before my eyes Lying here Can't even touch my face Just a tingle in my throat A living moment, isolated Don't walk towards the light Still got those pins and needles Turn back, embrace the night I'm not ready to be taken yet Don't walk towards the light Still got those pins and needles Turn back and hold the night I'm not ready to be taken yet This is not my time I'm not ready yet I'm not ready........after all |

I've seen that face before
Demon eyes watch what an Angel once saw I've seen that face before Lying in shadows but hard to ignore No where to run No where to hide I've seen this place before A wilderness born from the torment of souls (Yes!) I've seen this place before A memory lost as the story unfolds No where to run No where to hide No where to run No where to hide ...."I will always find you!" We played this game before Counting no cost but keeping the score (Yes!) We played this game before Eyes to the front and backs to the wall I've stood right here before |

Walk along the waterfall
Watching as the world turns red Wonder where the river flows And the blood on the river bed Poison lies too close to us Reach across the salt and sand Moving deeper into the land Following the waterfall Watching as the world turns green Wonder where the river flows The copper face remains unseen Ignorance has failed to cleanse Reach across the salt and sand Moving deeper into the land Crying as the earth cries out Weeping as the land decays Wonder if I could have helped Maybe I'd have found a way Poison lies too close to us Reach across the salt and sand Moving deeper into the land Cling to the branch of a tree That was waiting for Something to preach Someone to teach The Word was the first And the last to be heard From the branch of the tree It was praying for me to fall down Climb to the top of a tree That was waiting for Someone to warn A life to be torn into Pieces of gold For a soul to be sold And the heart of the tree Was crying for me to come back Take me to the hanging tree There's a man in the light And he's pointing at me Guide me to the hanging tree It's the place that I come from Walk along the waterline Reach across the salt and the sand Moving deeper into the land Take me to the hanging tree There's a boy in the light And he's staring at me Take me to the hanging tree It's the place that I come from Walk along the waterline Reach across the salt and the sand Moving deeper into the land I'm falling.....Falling down again! |

Thinly veiled, a cruel disguise
Vengeance lies behind these eyes Glaring from the pulpit As the Fallen Angels follow me Plageristic sermons Hiding voyeuristic undertones Foolishly they will embrace And ignorant they follow me You've never truly known The kind of place that I come from You turned your back on all the signs That bore the words of warning Come to me my simple child Tear apart your innocence Pray with me beloved son And I will help you find a way Think before you throw yourself Upon the tables and the merchant s Are you sure this temple Isn't just another cruel perversion? You've never truly known The kind of place that I come from You turned your back on all the signs That bore the words of warning Don't look for comfort in this house of mine Don't ask for mercy at my image or my shrine Don't seek forgiveness at this house of mine Don't build a temple here And wait for me to walk into the fire I will make this promise now A simple thing, a sacred vow Come with me my pretty Angel I will show you how to fly We will fall together Into unforgiving night we plunge! Chained by sin and clothed by guilt We will be as one forever Don't look for comfort in this house of mine Don't ask for mercy at my image or my shrine Don't look for comfort in this house of mine Don't break the Holy bread or drink the Holy wine Don't seek forgiveness at this house of mine Don't build a temple here And wait for me to walk into the fire |

Why should all the wise survive
When nothing is what it may seem? Why do all the living die When only the dying remain? Helpless are the broken wishes Dashed upon the window pane So close! But I'm one step ahead My shadow is all you will touch Too late! You waited too long I stole the freedom You needed so much Do you hide away from me? There's nothing here you should ignore Do you close your eyes on me? You've made that mistake once before Helpless are the shattered wishes Dashed upon the window pane So close! But I'm one step ahead My shadow is all you will touch Too late! You waited too long I stole the freedom You needed so much Search far, search wide Lying down is not a matter of pride Look hard, look deep Never try to take this line of retreat Don't let the bastards grind you down So close! But I'm one step ahead My shadow is all you will touch Too late! You waited too long I stole the freedom you needed so much So close! But I'm one step ahead My shadow is all you will touch Too late! You waited too long I stole the freedom I know that you needed so much |

This is a clown's tale
Falling over Again and again He paints his face With colours from the sun But he is living in the rain This is a clown's tale Jumping up Spinning round and around He kicks his heels To the laughter of the crowd But from inside there is no sound Why do we all fail to see The darkness in another's heart Why do we all turn our backs On open wounds And failed attractions Painted on the canvas there Written in the books we share This is a fool's tale Rolling over Again and again Telling jokes To cool the anger of a king But he can never be the same This is a fool's tale Tripping up Spinning round and around Try to walk Beyond words of the wise Then reach a place too high Show them you can fly And dream until you hit the ground.... Don't offer sympathy When you've just walked away Don't play apologies And sentimental games I stood before the world And gave you my heart And it may never beat again! Don't give me hollow tears Or empty cries of shame Don't try to turn away By throwing me the blame I stood before the world And gave you my soul And now I'm living in the rain! This is a clown's tale Falling over Again and again He paints his face With colours from the sun But he is lying in.... He is dying in.... He is crying in the rain |

Something on the edge of this place
Something on the edge of my mind Getting closer to me Growing stronger in me all the time The young foretell a life ahead The old look back on a life that's been led But I - I see nothing Got too much sand across my head Sit there waiting for the phone to ring Hopes in the attic, tied up with string On a top shelf, bottom drawer Any place I could ignore The falling of this hero No! Don't let the child die here Don't let the child die here Don't let his life just fade away Don't let the child die.... I made a promise - my soul laid bare Signed and sealed on a wing, on a prayer But thrown to the darkness It lies beyond repair This solemn oath I swore to you Has been neglected and unused In a back room, not on show Anywhere just not to know The falling of this hero No! Don't let the child die here Don't let the child die here Don't let his life just fade away Don't let the child die.... |

There's a light behind the veil
And it's calling to me There's a force behind the veil And it's waiting for me There's a hand Reaching out Holding on Won't let go! I defy you to stand On the crack in the ice With the power of your hand On the crack in the ice Rising, rising I can feel your hands upon me I can feel your arms around me Rising, rising I can feel a breath inside me I can feel a warmth inside me Rising, rising I can feel your hands upon me I can feel your arms around me Rising, rising I can feel a breath inside me I can feel my heart begin to burn "Open your eyes" I can hear the Visitor! Shaking me Rousing me Waking me "Open your eyes" I can hear the Visitor Warning me Rousing me Calling my name "Open your eyes Open your eyes now!" |

Did it really make a difference?
Was there strength enough to set me free? Am I even sure I'm living now? Or is this some kind of dream? Is it really that important? Did I really need to find this way? Have I never looked inside before? Have I always been afraid? The vampire waits on the corner of the street Past the clown and the words of the preacher Try to run, but you'll never beat the thief Are these the faces of The Visitor? It was there in a desperate breath It was born from a moment of death It was held in the weakest of faith But it seemed to last forever It was over in a moment of sight It was gone in a flash of a light It was lost in the heart of the night But it seemed to last forever You're never alone Take it from me You're never alone Just take it from me Take it from me Did it really make a difference? Am I really what I seem to be? Did I ever truly breathe again? Or is this some kind of dream? |
