Alive

Dream. Of a wonder in your hand
As you look out on this land
Dream. Of a world your children choose
A world where beauty cannot lose
Is this a dream? Or a wonder in your hand
Let your vision look out on your land
This can be real. Of a world your children say
You gave a light to shine their way
This world is alive
And no matter what they say
This is your world that you shape today
This world is alive
Can you see their helpless dream?
Can you hear their endless dying scream?
Don’t Pray. It’s a coward’s path to self-deceit
A giving of your self-belief
Don’t walk away. From the truth you know inside
And the image burning in your mind
Don’t close your eyes. This is what you need to say
To a world that’s dying everyday
This is no lie. If you cannot face the truth
Why should other people die for you?
This world is alive
And no matter what they say
This is your world that you shape today
This world is alive
Can you see their helpless dream?
Can you hear their endless dying scream?
This world is alive
And no matter what they say
This is your world that you shape today
This world is alive
Can you hear their helpless dream?
Can you hear their endless dying scream?
Your world is alive
And no matter what you say
This is your world that you make today
Your world is alive
Can you face their helpless dream?
Can you face their endless dying scream?

Uncertain

Abandoning this place… if only in dreams
Relinquishing illusions of eternity
What legacy remains when all this life is done?
How can I deny the truth in light of what I’ve done?
Take away these memories
I can’t relive the past and I won’t fall apart
Through a barely glimpsed reality
Unimagined or conceived demands to be believed
A certain will, uncertain or afraid
Inspired by visions of destiny I suffer: I remain
What comes with ease for some seems
Almost possible this way
Take away these memories
I can’t relive the past and I won’t fall apart
Through a barely glimpsed reality
Unimagined or conceived demands to be believed
A sudden realisation forms from doubts within
Awakening the senses and delivering
How long as it been since I saw with clarity?
Unwelcome truth fills every pore with a kind of certainty
Take away these memories
I can’t relive the past and I won’t fall apart
Through a barely glimpsed reality
Unimagined or conceived demands to be believed

Walk Away

Walked along beside you
Or followed from behind
It seemed I’d walked for miles and miles
But couldn’t banish you from my side
I’ve never been so certain
Of anything in my life
It seemed that there was nothing left
I would have followed you until I died
If I only could have seen in a moment
Everything that seems so clear of the past
Then maybe I’d forget the reasons why I stayed
I would have lied before I left that night
Walked away without you
I left you far behind
I walked and fought my heart all night
But couldn’t banish you from my side
I’ve never been so frightened
Of losing you from my life
I’ve never needed more and more
To kill the spirit that won’t die
If I only could have known in a moment
That you’d tear the majesty from my life
Then maybe I’d forget the reason why I prayed
I should have lied before I left that night
Walked away without you
I buried you at the start
I walked and walked for time untold
But couldn’t banish you from my heart
It seems you never knew me
You couldn’t touch my soul
And in the ending, in the quiet
There was nothing left to show

Wondering

A feeling lost inside
An image time is stealing
I didn’t know my mind
Inside me there’s no reason
Hopeless thoughts eclipsed by rhyme
And another sleepless dream
Dancing in the shadowed grave
That’s what folly gave to me
In spite of all you had to give
You could never truly hear me
I swore I’d never touch again
Never let your words deceive me
I feel so cold inside
You always left me wondering
I thought I knew my mind
But somehow there’s no reason
In spite of all you had to give
You could never truly hear me
I swore I’d never touch again
Never let your words deceive me
Careless words the killing kind
Did I say too much this time?
I forgot myself again
I betrayed myself again
Hopeless thoughts eclipsed by rhyme
And another sleepless dream
Dancing in the shadowed grave
That’s what folly gave to me
In spite of all you had to give
You could never truly hear me
I swore I’d never touch again
Never let your words deceive me

Looking Back

When the days are running fast
And the faces disappear
People, lives, become just names then memories
As new things replace the old
Our dreams remain the same
Familiar places die and we don’t change
So take my hand and kiss me now
I feel time slip from my grasp
Want to stop the clock and live
This moment one more time
Things we did so long ago
Are so vivid in our minds
With eyes like children full of hope
When we look on the old days
Think we still might do the same
If only we could live those times again
So take my hand and kiss me now
I feel time slip from my grasp
Want to stop the clock and live
This moment one more time
Take my hand and come with me
‘Coz I’m leaving here right now
I’ve got to stop the clock and live
These moments one more time
As new things replace the old
Our dreams remain the same
Familiar places die and we don’t change
When we look in each other’s eyes
Say: “we can’t pretend no more”
Is there nothing left of what we had before
Stop the clock
Turn back the years
If only to start again
The time we’ll never share again
Stop the clock
Go back in time
If only to live again
The time we’ll never share again
Stop the clock
Turn back the years
Start it all again
Stop the clock
Go back in time
Start it all again

Reflections

How empty I feel now that my disguise is gone
Vulnerable, defenceless and alone
Memories of how I would delude myself
Flowing from the window of my soul
I don’t recognise this face I see before me
A mirror of the past and a figure of creation
This serpent’s tongue manipulates the truth you seek
Lying, twisted words born from its vanity
Fair of face but black tongue flickers nervously
Aren’t my lies less painful than the truth?
I don’t recognise this face I see before me
A mirror of the past and a figure of creation
Despite my best intentions I deceived you
Concealed my darkest thoughts and closed your eyes
Promise broken, heart deceiving
Bare my lies for all to see
Are my lies yet done?
Or is there nothing to believe
I don’t recognise this face I see before me
A mirror of the past and a figure of creation
One chance to reconcile these unfamiliar feelings
Recapture what was lost
Surrender to the truth

Flight

Cover me, when I walk alone
Give me strength, when I am on my own
Like a shadow walk, throughout the dreaming spaces
I'm another look, of other drowning places

Dreaming
I called the children of a violent season down
No time for rhyme and I found the reason why

I'll cover you, when light makes shade
Protecting you from all your men and gods have made
And given time, when death draws near
I'll smother you in the seven shades of heavens fear

Dreaming
I called the children of a violent season down
No time for rhyme and I found the reason why

I'll cover you, when light makes shade
Protecting you from all your men and gods have made
And given time, when death draws near
I'll smother you in the seven shades of heavens fear

Dreaming
I called the children of a violent season down
No time for rhyme and I found the reason why
Gifted memory of a time I've never known
A clouded vision of a future I've been shown

Vathek

I see the painted tears on the painted eyes and the smiles are
not forever
The young and old and those we trust must fade away and turn
to dust
The words will move as the music moves, only in time
Yet that which is only living now - can only die

Retaliate       And take revenge for bolted doors
Deceive        Accept the lies they'll tell no more
Forgive         To make the broken turn to pale
Surpass         Rise up again before we fail like Vathek

Last stone, my last regret - engraved lest all this dust forget
I should have known when evil men are strong - No life is
good, no pleasure long
Intolerance, the bitter cheat - the bright of eye, the indiscrete
Embitterment - so heaven sent. We weave the truth with silk
deceits

Retaliate         And take revenge for bolted doors
Deceive          Accept the lies they'll tell no more
Forgive           To make the broken turn to pale
Surpass           Rise up again before we fail like Vathek

Mephistopheles. Mephistopheles I know him
All my days are drifting by from one to another
I feel the need - I need, I need another
All my days are passing by - I need another

Give it to me; I need another
Give in to me; this fire requires another
Give me the angels; give me the clouds

Retaliate         And take revenge for bolted doors
Deceive          Accept the lies they'll tell no more
Forgive           To make the broken turn to pale
Surpass           Rise up again before we fail like Vathek

Fragments

Past consumed in vortex mind
Amassing layers of brittle present time
A frosted view outside
Temporal seclusion incomplete
The bridge disintegrates behind my feet
A memory has died

I happened to glance, between the marbled eyes
Haven't I seen this place before somewhere?
Familiar voices form through fissure in the light
Only to disappear into hollow air

Amidst continual motion see
Occasional fragments of what used to be
Attempting to combine
Unable thoughts, assemble bones
Inside exploding chambers all along
Refusing to align

I happened to glance, between the marbled eyes
Haven't I seen this place before somewhere?
Familiar voices form through fissure in the light
Only to disappear into hollow air

Past consumed in vortex mind
Amassing layers of brittle present time
A frosted view outside
Temporal seclusion incomplete
The bridge disintegrates behind my feet
A memory has died

I happened to glance, between the marbled eyes
Haven't I seen this place before somewhere?
Familiar voices form through fissure in the light
Only to disappear into hollow air

I happened to glance, between the marbled eyes
Haven't I seen this place before somewhere?
Familiar voices form through fissure in the light
Only to disappear into hollow air

Fallen

I feel no pain, let the angels come to me
So many broken pieces bring the shadows to my mind
Falling free from the world that I knew
So many ways that I can see
Descending from the light
Descending from the light

Fall - Fall away
Fall - Fall away forever
Fall - Fall away
Fall - Fall away forever

I feel no pain let the angels come to me
Tear the soulless ones to pieces
Bring the shadows to my mind
Falling free from the world that I knew
So many ways that I can see
Descending from the light
Descending from the light

Fall - Fall away
Fall - Fall away forever
Fall - Fall away
Fall - Fall away forever

This a world alone - A world of me
This is the place where I would shelter from the rain
Move, like the shadows from the fire
Move, like the shadows on the wall
Burning metal by the wayside, motion sees more
The shaking ground beneath my feet
Let the past take it all; take it all

Move like the shadows
Move like shadows

I feel no pain, let the angels come to me
So many broken pieces bring the shadows to my
mind
Falling free from the world that I knew
So many ways that I can see
Descending from the light
Descending from the light

Fall - Fall away
Fall - Fall away forever
Fall - Fall away
Fall - Fall away forever

Shine

There is no cross, no crucifix
Can take away this pain
Yours sweet blood is on my hands
I won't see you again

What the hell have I done?
      Is this the way to heaven?
What the hell have I done?
      Is this the way to heaven?

And she said smile - and let it come from you
I'll see you smiling, as my life starts slipping through

An empty vessel, still and cold
Five short words, please take away my soul

What the hell have I done?
      Is that the way to heaven?
What the hell have I done?
      Is that the way to heaven?

And she said shine - and let it come to you
I'll see you shining, as your life starts slipping through

What the hell have I done?
      Was that the way to heaven?
What the hell have I done?
      Was that the way to heaven?

And I said shine - and let them come for you
I'll see you shining, as your light starts slipping through

I blamed myself I got it wrong
Your fading moment took too long
You were my air; you were my breath
You were life and now your dead

Bring her back to me
Bring her back to me
Bring her back to me

Do you hear me still? I'm an echo from the past
I could be dream; I could be memory

I still believe this, if nothing else is real
I could reach out and touch it, when there's nothing else to
feel
I could be scarred on the outside but the inside never heals
And I believe in nothing for nothing else is real

Turn back the clock now
Time is growing old

I still believe this, if nothing else is real
I could reach out and touch it, when there's nothing else to
feel
I could be scarred on the outside but the inside never heals
Then I believe in nothing for nothing else is real

Turn back the clock now
Time is growing old

So do you feel? I'm a thought to warm or haunt you
Or….does the echo fade away……

Turn back the clock now
Time is growing old
Roll back the seasons,
I feel the winter…..
I feel cold

Do you hear me still? I'm an echo from the past
I could be dream; I could be memory
So do you feel? I'm a thought to warm or haunt you
Or….does the echo fade away……

Days of November

November comes again,
Amongst the morning mist
These memories, of distant days
Revive again like shadows through the rain

And even now when all is over
And even now when all seems fine
And even now - when everything has been forgotten
And only now - when everything has changed

The longer nights recall
A distant sleepless time
A fading hope still lingers here with the dark returns the fear
The chilling breeze returns the hope for signs that won't be seen

And even now when all is over
And even now when all seems fine
And even now - when everything has been forgotten
And only now - when everything has changed

November back again
My glass again runs empty
The shortened days bring back old thoughts
Like smothered rays of pale and distant suns

And even now - when all is over
And even now - when all seems fine
And even now - when everything has been forgotten
And only now - when everything has changed

And even now - that nothing's over
And even now - that nothings right
And even now - that everything has been remembered
And only now - when nothing can be changed

November comes again,
Amongst the morning mist
These memories, of distant days
Revive again like shadows through the rain

Step Down

Red light inside, red sky at night
Red vision in my eyes, an outstretched hand
Or a broken man, what is to decide

The past denies and the future lies
I know I am man. I'm killing time
Till time is mine, to show you what I am

We are beyond this, so step aside
We are beyond this, so step aside
We are beyond this, so step aside
We are beyond this, so step aside

Step Down
Step Down

It's out of line, and it's out of time
No place for it here. And it won't be long
Until it's dead and gone and no one's shed a tear

The hand you hold, is the hand that feeds
The hand that cuts or bleeds, the hand we touch
Is the hand that feels, the hand to bind all the hands that heal

We are beyond this, so step aside
We are beyond this, so step aside
We are beyond this, so step aside
We are beyond this, so step outside

Step Down
Step Down

Red light inside, red sky at night
Red vision in my eyes, an outstretched hand
Or a broken man, what is to decide

The past denies and the future lies
I know I am man. I'm killing time
Till time is mine, to show you what I am

We are beyond this, so step aside
We are beyond this, so step aside
We are beyond this, so step aside
We are beyond this, so step aside

Step Down
Step Down
Step Down
