Blinded and Haunted
04:45
|
|||
|
Lost again, Broken like another empty promise
left blinded by your disdain and disgrace
These parallel lines that you've drawn between us
Contrast with the ones that are carved deep in your face
Blinded by the sun, Haunted by the moon
So now we return to the embers whence we came
where we are consumed by pure self-righteous fire
when we emerge from the chrysalis, renewed and reborn
We will claim the world and then reunite eternally
And the watchman stands alone
His children now grown
Sustained by reclaimed thunder
Consciousness ripped asunder
Blinded by the sun, Haunted by the moon

Nothing Under the Sun
02:57
|

|
I was waiting for something
That would never arrive
Always searching for anything
That could keep me alive
A bolt of lightning from the blue
I can find me some heaven
But never be satisfied
Man, there ain't no countin
All the tears i have cried
Still i have to reconcile what's true
Nothing hurts you like nothing
Except maybe living the lie
Don't let it make your heart break
Love's hard to demystify
Nothing under the sun is new
We all need somewhere to hide into
Until then i guess i'll just make due
Nothing under the sun is new
We all need somewhere to hide into
Until then i guess i'll just make due

The Wrong Flame
04:00
|

|
Incredible, such a painful annoyance
trying to hear myself cry
trying to wish it all way
it all started as infatuation
another dream of love and death
an obsession baby, not like sex
Just as real but only half as wet
I don't think that I love you anymore
Did I ever, Was it just a game?
I don't think I want you here anymore
Leave me all alone with my flame
I lied again
an unforgivable sin, condemned to stay
Or just be left alone, go away
i don't think i want you here anymore
you were a fool to believe
hey, i was a fool to deceive
I don't know what's real anymore
Did you believe the lies?
Did I become what you despise?
Some broken things cannot be restored
I don't think that I love you anymore
Did I ever, Was it just a game?
I don't think I want you here anymore
Leave me all alone with my flame

Nothing Astral
04:32
|
|||
|
Ground against the grain. Seabound autumn rain
Tip-toe precariously like trip times through the glen
Bright eyes ensorcel me and light the path to where i've been
And so I resolve to let nothing astral stand in my way.
And now we say goodbye to the wasted years and tears that we've left behind
Let love Breathe
Freezing summer day Blaze the pain away
Old dreams follow me through thick times and the thin
Let's demand reality refund everything we have spent
And so I resolve to let nothing astral stand in my way.
And now we say goodbye to the wasted years and tears that we've left behind
Let love Breathe
There is no Oxygen here Only the still of darkness
where ... there’s something waiting
There ... someone’s waiting
But in another world The sun is burning lighting
there ... Is no illusion
There’s ... But dissolution
Breathe the virgin air. Love’s last millionaire
And so we will stand and let nothing astral stand in our way
And now I absolve all the precious years and tears that I locked away
Freezing summer day Blaze the pain away
And so I resolve to let nothing astral stand in my way
And now we say goodbye to the wasted years and tears that we've left behind
And now I dissolve

Absolution Part 2: Loss
03:30
|
|||
|
Let the rain fall
onto the scattered wind
A taste of the pain I feel inside
with a touch of gray I cannot hide
Under the tree
I stare at your window
Feeling the loss of a million men
With a touch of love with a touch of sin
When the sky starts to fall, starts to cover the sea
That’s when i know fate was never kind to me
An old one cries
Prays for forgiveness
Afraid of what she knows lies ahead
Regretting the words she left unsaid
Unrequited love
Is a pain greater than all
All that’s left in this dying world
is the answer we all seek to find
In an uncaring world where the wicked rule the queen
I can only live with my unattainable dream
my unattainable dream

you were there standing on the corner
tapping your fingers and waiting for Ampelmann
to stop you from lingering your thoughts become feeling
brush away the bleeding before Ampelmann goes green
so this is how it goes again another end
tossed away like a mystery play
you know i can not only be a friend
you've always been
the last nightmare at the end of the day
The Last Nightmare
lost prophets mockingly restate their portends
self actualizing my descent to torment
your smile so cruel like acid on eyeballs
Ampelmann in free fall and Werner's all knowing
so this is how it goes again another end
tossed away like a mystery play
you know i can not only be a friend
you've always been
the last nightmare at the end of the day
The Last Nightmare
still standing there tapping your fingers
look over your shoulder to the empty room
brush away that feeling you left behind
before Ampelmann goes green
so this is how it goes again another end
tossed away like a mystery play
you know i can not only be a friend
you've always been
the last nightmare at the end of the day

Til The Rain Comes
04:09
|

In the day
the world squeezes my will away
but when the sun goes down
I can live for a while
Every now and then
there's a moment to myself
where the tween time becomes
more than a lost memory
Til the rain comes
washes all that all away
And the dream goes
contentment decays into pain
But I'll hold head high
to all that i could not before
then I'll sleep
and won't dream any more
Every day
I struggle to hold it together
Fall out of gear, fail into fear
and blame it on under the weather
every now and then
shake the cobwebs from my brain
and let the peace times cover me
keep me from going insane
Til the rain comes
washes all that all away
And the dream goes
contentment decays into pain
But I'll hold head high
to all that i could not before
then I'll sleep no more

falling alone in a hole of our own
embracing each bitter-sweet moment
Waking at home our garden overgrown
just one last kiss before morning
and we need never find
the things we left behind
stories we told kept us safe in the cold
dancing to our own sweet music
together we find a world of our design
a reality ours for the making
we may need never find
the things we left behind
and we need never say
all those things we locked away
La de da
Invoke the sun to shine
Create the words to rhyme
we search but never find
the things we left behind

Well I'm still walkin that road, just a little slower i guess
These bones ain't got much longer, but they're still doin their best ... I know my best days are behind me, but i ain't got nothing else going on
so i'll just keep these bones a moving, slouching on to Babalon
Oh they tell me i'm crazy, and i guess they got a point
their mouths just keep a foaming, while i just roll a joint ... but
i got some something they want, over down at the pentagon
Well i'm rolling in contentment, slouching on to Babalon
The next thing that you'll tell me is that someone's looking down
you gotta get with with the program, he won't come back around ... you know nothing can't become something, if you don't keep moving on
all the Seconds become aeons, slouching on to babalon

Whoa
Absolution
A falling star flies across the heavens
An anguished cry to some forgotten god
who doesn't have a care for our plight
We see life as the sum of all choices
All that's left in this burning world is the
one thing that we cannot find
As we wait for it all to pass on by
We can only spread
our wings and fly
absolution is what I'm looking for
absolution is all i want and more
all of our yesterdays are obsolete vaporware
life begins for all on the other side of despair

I can't wait to go to Vegas
Hop on the aero-plane and fly away
Open my eyes and see the door
the light shines so brightly
just one second to be with you again
The neon wasteland of home
Calls me to cross the bridge of time
Open my mouth to call your name
The door falls further away
Just one second to be with you again
I can't wait to go to Heaven
Spread my wings and fly away
