Do you hear the voice?
Shouting down the Midnight Friend Do you hear the voice? An empty requiem Tell me who you are To treat me like a fool, can't you be Honest from the start Explain these tainted rules Calm me down A siren's crown Graceful sounds Ease me round More than smoke and mirrors Can't you see me on the stage? More than misdirection Don't you let me fade away! Spinning out your web You planned to bring me down ? Wrong again! You crawled inside my head Corrupted what you found ? Wrong again! Lead me on A siren's song Draw me in Break my wings More than smoke and mirrors Can't you see me on the stage? More than misdirection Don't you let me fade away! More than smoke and mirrors Can't you see me on the stage? More than misdirection Don't you let me fade away! More than smoke and mirrors Can't you see me on the stage? More than misdirection Don't you let me fade away! More than smoke and mirrors I'm more than smoke and mirrors! |

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! |

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 |

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! |

Traitors - Heathens....don't thank me!
Empires - Princes....don't thank me! The fellowship started here With bleeding hearts and fine cause The brotherhood started here With fevered brows - malevolence Beaten - Howling....I'll drag you down! Kneeling - Cowering....I'll drag you right down! Soldiers - Victims....don't thank me! Warriors - Pilgrims....don't thank me! The fellowship started here With righteousness and lunacy The covenant started here With screaming souls and vitriol Can there be comfort left For one who lies bleeding in the fields Remorse and second thoughts are not enough To shield me from the consequence Horses - Warcries....Don't thank me! Forces - Armies....Don't thank me! Dedicate your life to this With blood vows and loyalty Dedicate your life to me With suicide - atrocity Onward - Fervent....I'll drag you down! Torture - Torment....I'll drag you right down! Can there be a heaven still For one who lies bleeding in the fields A pardon for these actions and passions Committed in the name of our salvation Innocence of acquaintance or liaison The darker side of hunger and need We reach a path - the way beyond reason Now we have sown that nemicidal seed And I can count on you to let me bleed An act of trust is as fragile as a child And we have led as far as we can lead We'll make a pact from threats and insecurities Things will arise from lies and disagreements And I can count on you to let me bleed Let the meek lie down! For they shall not inherit the earth from me Let the meek lie down! I will never set your people free Take no prisoners! For they shall not receive any hope from me Take no prisoners! I will never set your people free Death is the enemy! For he waits in the field of blood for me Death is the enemy! I will never set your people free Let the meek lie down! Let the meek lie down! Let the meek lie down! Down! Let the meek, let the meek lie down! |

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 |

Crawling through the poison pool
Hiding eyes with bleeding hands Every step another fool Kings and Queens of sand Over there an angry god Violent brow and negligence Making waves that can't be stopped Unafraid of consequence Chosen faith's a lottery Heaven sent down forgeries Miracles and travesties Irreligion sows that seed Staring through the Judas Hole See what I can see? Every covenant of souls Drum roll payments paid to me... Bethlehem to Bedlam Fayre - No one helps, no one cares! Let the people mock and stare - See them run around, around, around This place - So far gone Darker than hell - A stagnant field of dreams That face - Speaks to me So much to say - But nothing's what it seems You're only human - Just mortal to me You're only human ? Just an earthbound disease! Those eyes ? Madness reigns Acid tears ? A constant stream of pain That life ? wasted here Nothing left ? No mourners, no name You're only human - Just mortal to me You're only human ? Just an earthbound disease! Bethlehem to Bedlam Fayre - No one helps, no one cares! Let the people mock and stare - See them run around, around, around Bethlehem to Bedlam Fayre - No one helps, no one cares! Let the people mock and stare - See them run around, around, around Bethlehem to Bedlam Fayre - No one helps, no one cares! Let the people mock and stare - See them run around, around, around |

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? |
