IQ - The Wake (1985) by IQ (보컬) on maniadb.com

Break out the waters, waiting for anything to come,
Hold on forever, Hell below and Heaven dead ahead,
Don't ever change your way.
Burn down the prison, stay in the balance of the wire,
Hold on forever, only you can turn that lethal level,
I'll keep you safer than sound.
Even the rain won't fall in a straight line:
Take it from me, you'll find that the pulses shine.
I take the strain, let go the millions of us,
The whole divide, it wasn't easy, I want to stay.


"You're not alone, so don't look back,
You better see it's getting black,
You're not alone, surrender now,
You're going to fall in line, you better learn this time":
I'm trying to get there, I'm falling from nowhere.

Singing praises was never a feature
Encouraged in me or my kind.
Every time they remain with my hand to my mouth,
The crowded borders leave me colour-blind;
Pushing me for the death warmed up
And the flowers and fur to parade,
In the time that it takes for the ritual wake
They've broken all the promises they made.
I was driven away to distraction and
Couldn't see we were all laid to waste,
Never sleeping, I saw my abduction from
Solid areas fallen with grace.
I come drifting through the draughting
Dropping out of sight,
I'm not begging for love, I'm empty as I am.


I'm beginning to wonder is the ability too weak?
If this stark interior surrounds me, am I so unique?
Little blue souvenir to remind me of
Restless days when I should have said No,
And you know that I've nothing to share with you
For the chance of the love that we save:
I wanted to be magnificent
For the less-than-a-lifetime of mine,
I forget where I came in,
All I know there's no discipline now.
====================================================================

Stop your tears from hiding,
See them mesmerise your skin,
It's all that I can do to keep away from going in,
I fed the ghost of plenty as the perfume turned to grey,
If life is still worth living, how come I feel afraid?
One day, some day, I will take from the air,
The only way out, I can't deny the honesty,
I want to stay but it's more than me
I'm losing all the reason, keep forgetting what I've said,
Oh I try to bring it closer but there's nothing in my head,
I don't believe in ever and I don't believe in now,
If life is still worth living, how come I feel alone?
Suddenly, if it comes then I'm gone


Whey don't you talk to me, see I'm not your enemy?
I am right by your side,
I want to stay but it's more than me.
Each time you go down, don't forget to remember
Everything is easy, most of all believing,
It will take you over, it will bring you down,
It's hidden in the language, it's in the words I say (I say so).
====================================================================
=======

Darker than the starlight gold,
Bearing down again to bury me in the air,
Suffer like a stained glass wire,
When the waves are gone, your eyes and fears,
I'll be there.
And if we can still believe in tomorrow,
Yesterday will disappear soon enough,
When it seems impossible to remember
How the world could be so proud of itself.
Into lives of violent ends,
She hides away, relies on night
All the time,
Holding out a hand to take, still awash in seas of ivory,
We steal away.


And it's such a lonely ride to tomorrow
Through the corners where the light never shows,
When it seems impossible to imagine
How the world could be so cold to itself.
And if we can still believe in tomorrow,
Yesterday will disappear soon enough,
When it seems impossible to remember
How the world could be so proud of itself.

> Garden over me, the secret I love most,
God and Man agree to giving up the ghost,
High above the moon, the sun has left the sky,
I would love to know if you're the reason why.
Garden under me, the naked and the dead,
I can still remember everything we said,
Higher, higher now than I have ever been
More than meets the eye than mine have ever seen.
Garden over me, you never know the grief,
Hide this side away to satisfy belief,
I can't stand the agony of nothing new,
When the soft white belly enters into you
I go down
The ribbon wrapped a gun, I blinded everyone,
Collected underground, now I'm up I'm down
It isn't how you lie, it's in the way you're mine,
How was I to know the nerves would overflow?
I want to see you, I want to touch you
I want to feel the breathing changing.
I want to be you, to be inside you,
To pull you under, get you fighting.
Unsodden even the water leaking,
Don't want to hear the widow speaking,
And just to know if there could be something,
You couldn't get that, yeah...
Ah, you fools, don't you see?
He's darker than he's going to be,
The state I'm in, hollow bone,
Diamond hard heart of stone.
Lost in love, senses flown
Diamond hard heart of stone.

I may be wrong
But the miracle that I prayed for is here,
Could be illusion, maybe some trickery,
I don't know why
I'm scoring the angels,
Counting all the thousand days,
There were so many tears
So many times, wasting away,
So what about the thousand days?
We miss the reason because of what we are,
I fall silent with you,
The gash I know is getting obvious
The blood of ages from
Scoring the angels,
Guaranteed for all we know


There were so many tears
So many times, wasting away
So what about the thousand days?
I swerve the engine, the balance disappears,
While i'm sleeping
I'm scoring the angels
Counting all the thousand days
There were so many tears
So many times, wasting away.
So what about the thousand days?

I'm here,
The ragged burden come to nothing, comfort go,
We drift
I talk with you and hear you though you're never here,
Hovering above me like a net,
I'm terrified to look beyond the threat,
I kill ambition while I can.
I'm cold,
I drag the beauty, black confetti swept away,
Stumbling, we go blindly marching on,
Bursting like a dream and now all gone,
In time I know we'll fly again.
Frail as ever, still the most severe,
Haven't I surrendered everything now?
Naked in my cruellest waking fear
From the rages of the weightless sleep.
"Who will catch him falling?" called the wind,
"I will claim him," volunteered the grave,
"Marry me forever," cried the bride,
Said the orphan, "Who'll remember me?


Anyone at all? Are you coming back?"
From the moment we were torn,
Thrown into the tunnel, we withdrew,
Whiter colours then untied,
Don't desert me now I'm coming through,
I fought the memory of beautiful things,
Imaginings,
The only strength I got from wanting you,
All the love I've been needing,
The hunger is feeding on me,
Spirit, bear me away to the place of birth.
You, you put the fear in the fear of flying,
The breath of dying,
You want a sign, you want a sign,
It's already there.
