When we wore a heart of stone we wandered to the sea
Hoping to find some comfort there yearning to feel free And we were mesmerized by the lull of the night and the smells that filled the air And we layed us down on sandy ground it was cold but we didn't care CHORUS And we were drawn to the rhythm Drawn to the rhythm of the sea And we were drawn to the rhythm Drawn to the rhythm of the sea We fell asleep and began to dream when something broke the night Memories stirred inside of us the struggle and the fight And we could feel the heat of a thousand voices telling us which way to go And we cried out is there no escape from the words that plague us so CHORUS In the still and silent dawn another day is born Washed up by the tireless waves the body bent and torn When you wake in the face of the blinding sun and you search only to find That heaven is a stranger place than what you've left behind CHORUS |

Mother teach me to walk again
Milk and honey so intoxicating And into the fire I'm reunited Into the fire I am the spark Into the fire I yearn for comfort Open the doors that head on into Eden Don't want to cheap and I'll follow the signs marked back to the beginning No more compromise And into the fire I'm reunited Into the fire I am the spark Into the fire I yearn for comfort Free the water that carries me to the sea You I see as my insecurity And into the fire I'm reunited Into the fire I am the spark Into the fire I yearn for comfort I will stare into the sun until its light doesn't blind me I will walk into the fire unitl its heat doesn't burn me And I will feed the fire And into the fire I'm reunited Into the fire I am the spark Into the fire I yearn for comfort |

knew you wanted to tell me
In your voice there was something wrong But if you would turn your face away from me You cannot tell me you're so strong.... Just let me ask of you one small thing As we have shared so many tears With forever our dreams we planned a whole life long Now are scattered on the wind.... Chorus: In the terms of endearment In the terms of the life that you love In the terms of the years that pass you by In the terms of the reasons why Through the years I've grown to love you Through your commitment to most would offend But I stuck by you holding on with my foolish pride waiting for you to give in.... You never really tried or so it seems I've had more than myself to blame I've had enough of trying everything And this time it is the end.... (Chorus) There's no more coming back this way The path is overgrown and strewn with thorns They've torn the life blood from your naked eyes Cast aside to be forlorn.... (Chorus) Funny, how it seems that all I've tried to do seemed to make no difference to you at all.... |

I remember the nights I watched as you lay sleeping
Your body gripped by some far away dream Well I was so scared and so in love then And so lost in all of you that I had seen But no one ever talked in the darkness No voice ever added fuel to the fire No light ever shone in the doorway Deep in the hollow of earthly desires But if in some dream there was brightness If in some memory some sort of sign And flesh be revived in the shadows Blessed our bodies would lay so entwined CHORUS And I will oh I will not forget you Nor will I ever let you go I will oh I will not forget you I remember when you left in the morning at daybreak So silent you stole from my bed To go back to the one who possesses your soul And I back to the life that I dread. So I ran like the wind to the water Please don't leave me again I cried And I threw bitter tears at the ocean But all that came back was the tide... CHORUS |

By the shadows of the night I go
I moved away from the crowded room That sea of shallow faces masked in warm regret They don't know how to feel, they don't know what is lost CHORUS Lost in the darkness of a land Where all the hope that's offered is Memories of being taken by the hand And we are led into the sun But I don't have a hold on what is real Though we can only try What is there to give or to believe I want it all to go away I want to be alone Sympathy's wasted on my hollow shell I feel there's nothing left to fight for No reason for a cause And I can't hear your voice and I can't feel you near CHORUS I wanted a change knowing all I could do was try I was looking for someone... |

You open your eyes, look around
You feel the earth it wanders - Out, from under your feet - the ground Is not firm but soft and weak - like skin Under the touch, cannot stop to falter Now, the damage is done the certainties gone The spirits altered CHORUS And now the angry morning Gives the early signs of warning You must face alone the plans you make Decisions they will try to break Our hands are tied on the table Maybe you can try at the back door man While the helpless line up on the doorsteps 'Cause it's all they can do to try to get through All of your life you've lived in a world as pure As Eden's sixth day - now all you've been allowed Is taken away - they will not let you be so proud And you have felt the fear growing inside Protest follows far and wide - they'll see how long It will take 'till you fall - from so much denied Your soul - it aches relentless from the fear That they will never guess - so unfair that They can make you feel so small And the fear you know is real CHORUS |

They're crowded into the smallest spaces
While outside all of nature cries It's known to be cruel and unfair But there is no place to hide Oh I've seen a part of people that I never really want to share Oh I've seen a part of people that I never knew was there CHORUS Shelter - give them shelter from the coming storm Shelter - give them shelter from the coming storm I can't sleep haunted by their faces The sadness in their eyes It hurts so much to see them helpless It makes me want to cry But still there is so much left unanswered For so many innocent lives They close the doors and are letting nobody in And only the strong will survive CHORUS I've seen the anger and I've seen all the dreams And I've watched an existence torn apart by the seams And though I may seem helpless I will do all that I can do Oh I've seen a part of people that I never really want to share Oh I've seen a part of people that I never knew was there CHORUS |

As the walls are closing in
And the colours fade to black And my eyes are falling fast and deep into me And I follow the tracks that lead me down And I never follow what's right And they wonder sometimes when they see all the Sadness and pain the truth begins to light CHORUS 'Cause I can't see no reason What is blind cannot see 'Cause I want what is pleasin' All I take should be free What I rob from the innocent ones What I'd steal from the womb If I cried me a river of all my confessions Would I drown in my shallow regret As the walls are closing in And the colours fade to black And the night is falling fast and deep into the sea And in the darkness all that I can see The frightened and the weak Are forced to cling to mistakes they know nothing of At mercy are the meek |

Child walks down to the river's edge
And looks out as far as she can see And draws each breath as if it were the last And wipes away the tears across her sleeve She can see where the river crawls to the sea Like a baby into mother's care Somehow the longing is so far away The innocence so wasted and aware And look at the child with the dream in her eyes Holding it deep inside her Thinking about Home... Home... So much anger so deeply ingrained Seemed a burden that was hers alone She didn't think that there was anything wrong With wanting a life that she could call her own How could I explain? You would not want to hear You wouldn't listen if I talked anyway For you were too weighed down by your own fears And look at the child with the dream in her eyes Holding it deep inside her Home... home... home... home... |

Mercy - pure and simple
Longing - cold and hollow With sweet breath you'd come to warm me But I held on too hard to only a memory You lie there on the swollen ground Deserted in your heart Still longing for what yesterdays lost And for all that tomorrow might bring The passion lost - taken, stolen The dreams we had and we shared - shattered, broken With kind words you'd come to soothe me But I go blind and filled with fear Would send you away from me There is no hope in regretting now All the pain that we could not see We both knew what we wanted And we took it believing it free And we took it believing it free. |
