Pouring fuel across the fire
Let the flesh evaporate I can hear it in their crazy voices They're opening the floodgates Shout loud that burning mantra With the confidence of fools Let it be me Who sets you free! Exile! You show no mercy You're living in a mindless state Exile! You've crossed the line this time You've thrown it all away And you can drag this new pariah down Till the lifeless body breaks I can see it in their angry faces They're opening the floodgates Shout loud that burning mantra With the unity of fear Let it be me Who sets you free! Exile! You show no mercy You're living in a mindless state Exile! You've crossed the line this time You've thrown it all away Exile! You show no mercy You're living in a mindless state Exile! You've crossed the line this time You've thrown it all away |

An Angel falls, so fragile and exposed
Soon lies crushed and wasted - Too delicate to hold A soulful melody innocent and pure Rises to the sky and is lost for ever more As guilt rains down And scars the faith of man It flows into the ground We will never wipe the bloodstains from our hands A failing heart, vulnerable and weak Waiting for the moment to beat the final beat Surely there is someone who'll reach out Surely there is someone who'll reach out |

I am the painted man
With a frown on my face And a language you don't understand A wild refugee That is all you people can see I am the painted man With a smile on my lips And a living tattoo on my hand That's no guarantee Of the truth you people can see Why - With poison so strong in our hearts And the world torn apart Why - when our actions bring nothing but pain Can't you see that we're painted the same? I am the painted man With bile in my veins From a dark and sinister plan Blind and deceived That is all you people believe I am the painted man No thought for the world I was here when the nightmare began Wrongly conceived That is all you people believe Why - With poison so strong in our hearts And the world torn apart Why - when our actions bring nothing but pain Can't you see that we're painted the same? Come down from your ivory towers Corruption devours us all Come down from your ivory towers The hunger devours us all |

There's a spectre at the feast
Feeding on my soul and drinking my hopes away There's a wind from the east My heart grows cold, my rainbows turn to grey There's a spectre at the feast Tearing me up and tossing my bones to the wolves On the brink of defeat We're moving the goals and changing the rules Hey don't fall asleep Don't close your eyes and drift away to some foreign land I know who you are - My fate is in your hands There's a spectre at the feast Panic has a face; it's looking at me right now There's the shadow of defeat Got to rise and bring those demons down Hey don't fall asleep Don't close your eyes and drift away to some foreign land I know who you are - My fate is in your hands Are they so pure, that they should judge me everyday? Am I so low in estimation, that none will hear a word I say? Are they so sure, the human race should turn away? In every home to be unwelcome, and none will hear a word I say! This brave new world has fallen and decayed Are there no heroes just men with feet of clay? Are they so weak, that they despise me everyday? A painful demonstration that none will hear a word I say! This brave new world has fallen and decayed Are there no heroes just men with feet of clay? Are you so pure? This brave new world has fallen and decayed Are there no heroes just men with feet of clay? |

Knowing what I know
I'm never free to come and go But when I try to open doors I burn when daylight hits the floor Playing the skin game Breathing the blue flame Playing the skin game In sight, insane Knowing what I know I've been looking for a space to grow And maybe I can set you free Yes maybe I can set you free Playing the skin game Breathing the blue flame Playing the skin game In sight, insane I'm content to live in the vacuum I have made A comfortable existence on my own The problems of the world are there for others to debate I prefer to face my days alone! Kneeling down before I sleep Never said a prayer that I believed One day you'll understand Why have I become this way? Maybe it's another quirk of fate Yielding to my DNA Try to live on my own Reborn once more as a whisper on the telephone Unafraid of it all Every thought, every dream, I will call! I will call! Now I'm living alone And all I am is a whisper on the telephone Making sense of it all Every thought, every dream, I will call! I will call! |

Blue fire, spreading across
From my finger tips - a powerful chaos Ice cold, consuming all Unstoppable advancing wall of Radiance, marching forth For the final throws of a world war Bow down before the truth I hear the cry - too late to stop you Burn - Like a moth to the flame We'll burn - As the fire calls us by name Burn - Like a moth to the flame Blue fire, spreading across From the farthest shore - the final cost Go back to the other place Another side of a well known face Blinding light, the world falls down I will draw you in to the slightest sound Reach out, follow your heart To the end of time - You will not be the last Burn - Like a moth to the flame We'll burn - As the fire calls us by name Burn - Like a moth to the flame Blue fire, a creeping curse There is nowhere safe in the universe Too late, you are hypnotised By the gentle waves, as they dive and rise One strike of a single match And the human race is reduced to ash Bow down before the truth I hear the cry - too late to stop you Burn - Like a moth to the flame We'll burn - As the fire calls us by name Burn - Like a moth to the flame We'll burn - As the fire calls us by name |

We've sown the seeds now
Don't know where they may fall Just lonely ghost towns Empty churches, empty town halls We've travelled far now And so into the wilderness we crawl I'm floating through the debris Of reference books and catalogues Climbing over sun baked bones Of Kings and Queens and Demigods You can take away my crown But you'll never bring my spirit down I won't give in Try to push me off the rope I will float down on the wings of hope I won't give in I wander through the dead lands Computer chips and stereos Powerless technology Instruction books and videos You can take away my crown But you'll never bring my spirit down I won't give in Try to push me off the rope I will float down on the wings of hope I won't give in Time may fly - And I will search the world for you Rainbow skies - And I will cross the seven seas for you Race on by - And I will find my way to you Rainbow skies - And I will cross the universe for you |

Some bitter puppeteer tore away my right to choose
Dealt me shit instead of cards Watched me bluffing from the start Some warring cavalier rode the truth into the ground Dragged me screaming by the feet Left me sprawling in defeat Right - right to the end We are joined till the universe fades into darkness again Some deep deluded author wrote new chapters in my life Threw my hat into the ring Let the lady start to sing So here we face each other, in the blackness of the night I don't care how it appears This ends now, this ends here Right - right to the end We are joined till the universe fades into darkness again I can read your mind - Your future's so defined Beware you've crossed the line this time Are you so sure of what you'll find A victim of your lies A witness to your own demise There's nowhere else to turn Right - right to the end We are joined till the universe fades into darkness again I can feel your craving - The way that you behave I can hear the thunder roll The pleading of a million souls You've done this to yourself You've done this to yourself There's nowhere else to turn Right - right to the end We are joined till the universe fades into darkness again And you know, yes you know We can't survive alone... on our own! |

I feel vindicated
Looking back on what I've done Not so complicated When moments meet as one Are you ready to part the veil? And write a new beginning to this tale Rising up I see creation from the sky I'm learning to fly Rising up I see creation from the sky This freedom is mine Standing on the mountain The olive leaf in hand Drinking at that fountain So that I might understand Are you ready to start once more? With no idea of what's in store Are you ready to part the veil? And write a new beginning to this tale Rising up I see creation from the sky I'm learning to fly Rising up I see creation from the sky This freedom is mine Rising up I see creation from the stars We've travelled so far Rising up I see creation from the stars We've travelled so far Rising up I am rising up |

Take a leap of faith if you want to find out!
We live amongst you In the guise of the mortal men You'll never see us in the crowd We only look towards What purpose we've been sent And wait until the time is now Take a leap of faith if you want to find out Better hold on tight if you want to know how Take a leap of faith if you want to find out You have been chosen! Imagine you can tell us all apart From prophecy or old wives tales Or from the warnings of a singular birthmark But these are merely all false trails Wisdom spat from the whirling chair Shaking the bars when they stop and stare at me Take a leap of faith if you want to find out Better hold on tight if you want to know how Take a leap of faith if you want to find out You have been chosen....Now! The faceless followers knelt in prayer Near Whited sepulchres and lightly coded software Freedom of speech - But we have no voice Freedom of spirit - But we have no choice Given no help - To meet these demands Given no help - It's out of our hands Never turn around never look behind Got to turn the water into wine Take a leap of faith if you want to find out Better hold on tight if you want to know how Take a leap of faith if you want to find out You have been chosen....Now! |

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! |

He waits in the dark for lives, misguided and wrecked
The catcher of innocent souls He's proud of his human collection Of losers who give up the chase Of winners who fail to look round He creeps up behind the fallen and blind They're gone! With hardly a sound 'Save me - somebody reach out a hand Save me from eternity caught in the grip of The Butterfly Man' He waits in the dark for the scent of anger or hate He hides behind ignorance And it's never for long that he has to wait A gentle caress Is enough before fear takes a hold The warning signs come far too late By then he'll have captured your soul 'Save me - somebody reach out a hand Save me from the agony caught in the grip of The Butterfly Man' 'Save me - somebody reach out a hand Save me from eternity caught in the grip of The Butterfly Man' 'I've been here for so long Don't even know what my purpose ever was I don't even know where I belong Through the years I've been waiting Even time has lost it's meaning Don't even know where I belong' 'Can't ever turn from this path Don't even know what alternatives there are Perhaps I wandered too far I've been here for so long Don't even hope for an end to all of this I have no choice, but to carry on' There you are fighting to escape from the womb Dying in the snares of your chosen beliefs Were you not set free far too soon? There you are bathing in the warmth of creation Drowning in the blood of your chosen beliefs Prisoners of fate Living in a state of sedation 'Save me - somebody reach out a hand 'Save me - somebody reach out a hand Save me from eternity caught in the grip of The Butterfly Man' He waits in the dark The catcher of elegant souls Extravagant souls Belligerent souls He waits in the dark His arms open wide Never too short Never too tall He'll take them all |

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.... |

In the distance
Hidden from sight - patiently Waiting for me Part of the night - enemy mine This horizon Darkness and light - opposites Drawn together, one forever Wrong and the right - enemy mine Now is the time to decide Don't answer me with the same old questions Don't patronise with those tired old solutions I've heard these before, I've been here before Don't pay me back with the same old deceptions Don't give me facts and predictable suggestions I've heard these before, I've been here before Then you're screaming all the time You don't listen any more When you threw out the hope with the dustbin liners You were standing alone with your coat of kindness Covered in mud - it was soaked in my blood When you fed me to the lions in your personal arena And you watched till the cries and the prayers grew weaker Head in my hands - Dripping tears in the sand The roar of the lions As the victim lies damned and alone When agony comes more from hope than failure Look further than your preconceptions, expectations Where the power of the mind can take you out beyond this reach Higher than the dull and simple world you know so well Back to paradise... Who keeps the child - Tell me which is the mother? The need in her eye, and the eyes of the other and I've seen this before, I've been here before Cut the child in half, give a piece to each woman A desperate chance, the last hope has fallen Just like before, I've felt this before And the gurgles of laughter are echoes once more in my heart So I lie down in my mothers arms And I cry in my mothers arms, praying Praying for the end to come A friend to come and rescue me - right now So I listen to my mother's voice And I listen to the Only choice she had to make Living fear cold and naked Throw me away? Don't throw me away "Take the child - it's yours!" Was the only thing she could have said Does it matter to you? In the lion's cage we're all the same Does it matter to you? It's a child's game with a child's name Does it matter to you? If I place the blame upon your shoulders Don't try to fool the world Don't try to rule the world again Throw away my life in the fireplace With the old love letters And the Nottingham laces; Trying to forget the warm embraces Video suppers and the funny faces Does it matter to you? Does it matter to you? Does it matter to you? Does it matter at all? |

Forget the lights
Forget the sounds You no longer need me round Lost my patience Lost my pride The story of my life Innocence is no way to hide Forget the light Forget the sound Why do you have to drag me down Men of night, In disguise Slay this barren child Sadness is your only friend "Please forgive me I didn't mean to play with your emotions Tear apart your passions Please forgive me I didn't mean to Hurt you with false meanings Hurt you with false feelings" Is what you see Is what you get Overhearing distant sounds Is what you wish Is what you hope Given both ends of the rope Both ends of the rope? When you turn against the system and the rules that are taught The true unconscious law an action without thought To free yourself forever from the shackles and the chains Of any kind of hell You can call this need by any other name When you stay held down for most of your life It's not hard to find a cause It's the catalyst behind the knife... the knife! Gonna turn the tide against you Gonna make this private revolution Gonna smash the gates and march right through Gonna tear apart this institution I'm coming down to find you Gonna make this private revolution Better keep this faith behind you Gonna lead the way to new solutions. Jericho - I'll bring those walls right down on you! Jericho - I'll bring those walls right down on you! Gonna turn the tide against you Gonna make this private revolution Gonna smash the gates and march right through Gonna make this private revolution Jericho - I'll bring those walls right down on you! Jericho - I'll bring those walls right down on you! |

Help me, help me.........help me
Let us share this hope That we may close our eyes in peace Follow what may rise from this Standing in the halls of grace Let my people go Was the cry I heard from far away I should have known Not to trust every word I heard them say Help me, help me.........help me There's a face I can see Staring back in desperation Nowhere to turn to now Drowning in this sea of fate Don't run! Don't hide! The devil will find you anywhere We should never have lied The sin was always there Help me, help me.........help me This choice must be free Answers do not grow on trees We must face our enemies With faith in one another Don't fall down! Don't lie down! You can lean on me my friend The future may not bring us luck But together we can go down fighting! Help me, help me.........help me Help me, help me.........help me |
