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 |

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 |

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! |

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 |

Oh my brother, kneel with me
And share this dream of paradise Through this cold and freezing night We will survive Oh my sister, walk with me And share this dream of paradise Through this unforgiving night We will survive As the Lantern City lights Burn ever bright |

So here I am
Sitting on a pile of stones Waiting for the rain to fall To wash away the dust from my hands So here I am Sitting on a pile of broken bones Waiting for the sun to shine Just to find my way to another day I hear you call to me But there's nothing I can do I hear you call to me But I can't help you So here I am Nothing more to give the world Hoping for another chance As I try to make a stand against the tide And now I walk in fire I see the flames are grower stronger, dancing higher And voices from the blue Their screams will not be silenced, as I stand accused I look for mercy in their eyes But only find despising gazes So here I am Wasted and torn apart Waiting for the end to come Release me from the guilt I've had to bear So here I am Sitting on a pile of broken hearts Waiting for the end to come And take away the burden of my fear I hear you call to me But there's nothing I can do I hear you call to me But I can't help you - But I can't help you So here I am, sitting on a pile of stones... |

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 |

Who makes these choices
Who waves the final hand When wisdom is more than age or reason Who makes these choices Who makes the final stand When solitude is all that you believe It's all the same And you really should have known It's all the same When your heart grows cold and you're all alone This has no name This feeling that I used to know It's here again I can see the tortured souls as they cry for help Take my hand I'll lead you through the traps and snares Take my hand I'll feed you and I'll clothe you like My only child There is nothing left to fear My only child There is nothing left to hurt you now! Who makes these choices Who waves the final hand When all around I hear the sound Of pleading for a helping hand Who makes those choices Who makes the final stand When far away I hear them say They couldn't give a damn.... Give a damn! They're crying for help.... Help me! They're crying for help... Help me! They're crying for help... Help me! They're crying for help... Help me! |

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 |

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 |
