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 |

Many times this world has been my playground
An endless field of images, not too profound I let you read between the lines, if you think you can Part of someone's grand design of Sainthood, childhood....Slipping through our fingers.... There it is in black and white for you to shout out loud But all those empty promises just sow more seeds of doubt Let my vision smother you in heartache It freezes like the venom from a rattlesnake It really doesn't matter now, the end will be the same It really doesn't matter how the world will rise again There's nothing you can do to stop the river flowing blood The betting man has played his hand He's waiting.....waiting Look for me in everything material live and breathe philosophy and spiritual escape You'll find me in the films and in the theatres Through the minds of novelists and orators It really doesn't matter now, the end will be the same It really doesn't matter how the world will rise again There's nothing you can do to stop the river flowing blood The betting man has played his hand He's waiting for the flood You walked with me before, you know We crossed this land before, you know You talked with me before, you know You held my hand before, you know It really doesn't matter now, the end will be the same It really doesn't matter how the world will rise again There's nothing you can do to stop the river flowing blood The betting man has played and we're just Waiting for the flood You followed me too far and it's too late to turn around You followed me too far to stop the world from being drowned There's nothing you can do to stop the river flowing blood The betting man has played and we're just Waiting for the flood |

Desperation on your own
Let the kindred spirits go Keep on building, stone on stone Never fail, never doubt Stands alone, stone on stone I shall lie within this shrine.... Waiting for ten thousand years Free from preconceived ideas Isolated, hibernating Sleeping through the age of man Darkest hour before the dawn Patiently, silently Hanging on a single hope Clinging to a fragile rope Desperation, preservation Keeping the faith Too much at stake Do what the Gods say... Every day the idea grows Money is no object so Keep on building, stone on stone Let the temple reach the clouds Stands alone, stone on stone Working on the grandest scale How could worshipped idols fail What is mine is mine you know Rights are not for you and so Keep on building, Stone on stone Make it strong and make it proud Stands alone stone on stone In this glory lies the key Mine is immortality Untold wealth hidden with care by stealthy people Promised riches stored in haste by urgent people Sworn on the good book, hard look, hardly a whisper away Sworn on the new faith, keepsake, keeping a distance away Jewels lie thick, as far as the eye As far as the eye can barely see Elegant crystal, the wishful Dragged through the sands of time for me Born from resistance, innocence Into the darkness the blind will be thrown Born from acceptance, vehemence Venomous promises innocent foes You will all hear me, all fear me Standing in line with your faith at your feet Do what your will has and fight back Come meet your maker, Your saviour! One man, fate unknown Born of stone on stone One flame lights the fire Dawn of stone on stone My faith will stand up alone Your light enriching the sacred stone One man, fate unknown Born of stone on stone |

A wave that rushes headlong through the darkness
An eternal flood that violates our minds A mighty river thirsty for our sanity A waterfall that crashes down upon mankind The foam that smashes deep into the shoreline A tidal force that's pumping through our veins A wordless voice that echoes in our beating hearts Driving every living soul insane There's nowhere to hide now There's nowhere to run A skyline that is changed beyond redemption The planet with it's back against the wall Man was overflowing with self confidence The time was overdue that he would take the fall There's nowhere to hide now Nowhere to run There's nowhere to hide now Nowhere to run |

Did it really make a difference?
Was there strength enough to set me free? Am I even sure I'm living now? Or is this some kind of dream? Is it really that important? Did I really need to find this way? Have I never looked inside before? Have I always been afraid? The vampire waits on the corner of the street Past the clown and the words of the preacher Try to run, but you'll never beat the thief Are these the faces of The Visitor? It was there in a desperate breath It was born from a moment of death It was held in the weakest of faith But it seemed to last forever It was over in a moment of sight It was gone in a flash of a light It was lost in the heart of the night But it seemed to last forever You're never alone Take it from me You're never alone Just take it from me Take it from me Did it really make a difference? Am I really what I seem to be? Did I ever truly breathe again? Or is this some kind of dream? |

Scooping the moon from a starlit pool
It ripples and breaks into luminous jewels And shards of light float through the night Moonbeams of magic shining like eyes Shooting the breeze as the clouds roll by A face in the rain and a voice in the sky Showering wisdom like newly formed pearls That fall to the ground in this innocent world Here in this Darkest House - Living with these ancient wounds Here in this Darkest House - Trapped inside those shattered rooms So many lies - blighted ambitions Caught in a race - a certain collision Stumbling over the paths of depression Too scared to search for the answers to questions Lost in this Darkest House ? Living with these ancient wounds Lost in this Darkest House ? Trapped inside those shattered rooms Hide brother hide ? Veiled in disguises Circle of spies - Fighting for the highest prize Offer a culture - Must now divide them Melt into every crowd - Bringing our defences down Lost in this Darkest House - Living with these ancient wounds Lost in this Darkest House - Trapped inside those shattered rooms I see the shadow of this lupine condition Howling in the mountains with a wolverine heart He's always running from this state of aggression Given half a chance he can tear you apart No mercy for you! No sleep for the doomed! I see the shadow of a vampire's obsession Eternity's a curse that will drive him insane A life of guilt and such violent confession Don't look away; he'll drain the last drop of blood from your veins Lost in this Dark House ? Watch your back and stay awake Lost in this Dark House ? Sleep would be a cruel mistake Lost in this Dark House - living with these ancient wounds Lost in this Dark House - Trapped inside these cold and shattered rooms Lost in this Darkest House - Lost in this Darkest House Living with these ancient wounds - Trapped inside these cold and shattered rooms |

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! |

There in a dream ? More than it seems
A Morbid theme - Through the eyes of Lara Moon Back from the grave ? A twilight state Help came too late - Through the Eyes of Lara Moon No chance to change - What came before The senseless rage - Through the Eyes of Lara Moon And so we wait - Night after night To share that fate - Through the Eyes of Lara Moon You saw it coming - But you did nothing You just kept watching ? Through the eyes of Lara Moon It's hard to fight When you're struggling for breath And it's hard to smile Noble in the face of death There's no defence To quell a greater force of will One desperate flight But needlessly their blood is spilt Endure the bleakest days Light the visions crowding in Identify the blame Expose the guilty and the sinners Vocation holds us here Even to the end of days There's no inaction That will feed the hungry flames And so we wait - Night after night To share that fate - Through the Eyes of Lara Moon Nowhere to hide - Night after night So dead inside - Through the Eyes of Lara Moon And so we wait - Night after night To share that fate - Through the Eyes of Lara Moon And so we wait - Night after night So dead inside - Through the Eyes of Lara Moon Through the Eyes of Lara Moon |

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 |

This is a clown's tale
Falling over Again and again He paints his face With colours from the sun But he is living in the rain This is a clown's tale Jumping up Spinning round and around He kicks his heels To the laughter of the crowd But from inside there is no sound Why do we all fail to see The darkness in another's heart Why do we all turn our backs On open wounds And failed attractions Painted on the canvas there Written in the books we share This is a fool's tale Rolling over Again and again Telling jokes To cool the anger of a king But he can never be the same This is a fool's tale Tripping up Spinning round and around Try to walk Beyond words of the wise Then reach a place too high Show them you can fly And dream until you hit the ground.... Don't offer sympathy When you've just walked away Don't play apologies And sentimental games I stood before the world And gave you my heart And it may never beat again! Don't give me hollow tears Or empty cries of shame Don't try to turn away By throwing me the blame I stood before the world And gave you my soul And now I'm living in the rain! This is a clown's tale Falling over Again and again He paints his face With colours from the sun But he is lying in.... He is dying in.... He is crying in the rain |

Standing in water, but dying of thirst
This is my thanks and this is my curse Try as I might, the fruit on the trees All remain beyond reach, beyond wishes or pleading for One last chance Waiting for time to pass me by Waiting for freedom, waiting to die Where can I go, in a world without hope? There is never a place for a soul that has broken so Trust in no one - Trust in no one Linking the chains that weigh down your reason Nothing to blame, but the actions you choose Driven insane by the conscience of treason Running in vein from a life of abuse The closer I get the further I am The journey I make is the course of the damned The distance I go is no distance at all And I climb to the sky but find myself falling so Trust in no one - Trust in no one Quench my thirst - Fill my heart Feed my mind - Don't leave me starving Hold my hand - stay close by Talk to me - Don't leave me crying here Standing in water, yet dying of thirst This is my thanks and this is my curse Empty forgiveness for old indiscretions And such condemnation for just one transgression Find me now - set me free Find me now - set me free Waiting for time to pass me by Waiting for freedom, waiting to die Why do you smile at my timeless ordeal here And why do you laugh at my hopeless appeal for your mercy? Tear away the chains - Free me now No one else to blame ? Let me go Tear away the chains - Free me now Driving me insane ? Let me go Tear away the chains - Free me now No one else to blame ? Let me go Tear away the chains - Free me now Driving me insane ? Let me go |

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? 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? |

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? |

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! |

Silently calling
I hear myself speak My breath is in my hands I cry out your name Silently calling I feel so at peace And the time to surrender Is the time you will take hold of me What did you do when you woke today What did you feel, were you sad or afraid Searching your thoughts for reasons or meanings And the choices you made Silently calling In a field of dreams Where memories fade They keep passing through this soulless maze What did you do when you woke today What did you feel, were you sad or afraid Searching your thoughts for hope or relief Looking for safety in the falling leaves Splinters of virtue From splintering hearts The door is always closed As it was from the start Masters of freedom Masters of light Will you ever let me go Take away this second sight What did you do when you woke today What did you feel, were you sad or afraid Searching your thoughts for warnings and traps Nothing in your life will be the same! Hanging to the sail Caught behind the storm Wait for the waves to come Know the fear Hide behind your smile Crying for mercy Hanging to the mast Caught behind the storm Wait for the sea to foam Climb....Climb....Climb up to me Hanging to the sail Far beyond the storm Lightning across the sky Catch the rope Cling to hope Watch as our lives flash by Hanging to the mast Beyond the storm Saltwater burning Shield your face from whiplash sprays Hold your breath and Neptune will make his next move Hanging to the rail Caught within the storm Watch for the jagged land Follow a line From another time Washed up on stone and sand Grab the mast Caught within the storm Reach for a helping hand We could share this calm experience now In shadows I can see the light I whisper your name But it's lost in the night Watching reflections of my own solitude Heartfelt indifference towards actions and truths In shadows I can see light I whisper your name In the night Spare me from those sirens' lies Spare me from this grand illusion Spare me from those weeping eyes And promises of absolution Shall I stand without defense Now that death is all around me Did you hope for my surrender Leaving me to die on the bloodstained ground It's only a lifetime Where heroes need heroic deeds It's only a lifetime Where children dream of breaking free Follow the cause Follow the signs Drawn by a song to our own demise It's only a lifetime Dragged across the rocks by the sirens' whisper! |

Hanging to the sail Caught behind the storm Wait for the waves to come Know the fear Hide behind your smile Crying for mercy Hanging to the mast Caught behind the storm Wait for the sea to foam Climb....Climb....Climb up to me Hanging to the sail Far beyond the storm Lightning across the sky Catch the rope Cling to hope Watch as our lives flash by Hanging to the mast Beyond the storm Saltwater burning Shield your face from whiplash sprays Hold your breath and Neptune will make his next move Hanging to the rail Caught within the storm Watch for the jagged land Follow a line From another time Washed up on stone and sand Grab the mast Caught within the storm Reach for a helping hand We could share this calm experience now In shadows I can see the light I whisper your name But it's lost in the night Watching reflections of my own solitude Heartfelt indifference towards actions and truths In shadows I can see light I whisper your name In the night Spare me from those sirens' lies Spare me from this grand illusion Spare me from those weeping eyes And promises of absolution Shall I stand without defense Now that death is all around me Did you hope for my surrender Leaving me to die on the bloodstained ground It's only a lifetime Where heroes need heroic deeds It's only a lifetime Where children dream of breaking free Follow the cause Follow the signs Drawn by a song to our own demise It's only a lifetime Dragged across the rocks by the sirens' whisper! |

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 |

There's a light behind the veil
And it's calling to me There's a force behind the veil And it's waiting for me There's a hand Reaching out Holding on Won't let go! I defy you to stand On the crack in the ice With the power of your hand On the crack in the ice Rising, rising I can feel your hands upon me I can feel your arms around me Rising, rising I can feel a breath inside me I can feel a warmth inside me Rising, rising I can feel your hands upon me I can feel your arms around me Rising, rising I can feel a breath inside me I can feel my heart begin to burn "Open your eyes" I can hear the Visitor! Shaking me Rousing me Waking me "Open your eyes" I can hear the Visitor Warning me Rousing me Calling my name "Open your eyes Open your eyes now!" |

From the first to stand on the fields of Waterloo
Through the two world wars and landing on the moon The search to find forgiveness and to bury all my shame Got to let this burden go, got to shoulder all the blame One day, I will lie down And rest here forever Till then my heart beats ? heart beats! I'm here to stay - Till the Martians land on London Town Won't fade away - Till the science world takes cancer down I'm here to stay - Till they synthesise the ozone layer Won't fade away - Going to hold out for an answer to my prayers They fall at the hands of dark corruption From saintly deeds to poisonous intentions Living with remorse on Purgatory Road Keeping me alive ? watch the evil grow One day, I will lie down And sleep here I'm here to stay - Till the Martians land on London Town Won't fade away - Till the science world takes cancer down I'm here to stay - Till they synthesise the ozone layer Won't fade away - Going to hold out for an answer to my prayers I'm here to stay - Till the Martians land on London Town Won't fade away - Till the science world takes cancer down I'm here to stay - Till they synthesise the ozone layer Won't fade away - Going to follow all my prayers I'm here to stay - Till humans walk the ocean floor Won't fade away - Till man can find an end to war I'm here to stay - Till the polar caps freeze up again Won't fade away - Going to hold out for an answer to my prayers |

Lying here
Can't even feel the cold Just a tingle in my spine A bitter line of hope Lying here Can't even see the sky Just a tingle in my fingers A shiver in my soul Don't walk towards the light Still got those pins and needles Turn back, embrace the night Am I ready to be judged like this? Lying here Can't even turn my head Just a tingle in my feet A shimmering before my eyes Lying here Can't even touch my face Just a tingle in my throat A living moment, isolated Don't walk towards the light Still got those pins and needles Turn back, embrace the night I'm not ready to be taken yet Don't walk towards the light Still got those pins and needles Turn back and hold the night I'm not ready to be taken yet This is not my time I'm not ready yet I'm not ready........after all |
