Pale Tide 06:36
The tide came in Its burden floating still Above the ivory horses Careening toward the shore~ Meandering in silence Conversing with each grain of sand Rippled waves caressed her face Away the ocean left in tears Bereft of that which it bestowed Upon the land in a state of love In the light of the morning sun Her eyes were as pure And white as snow She held me with her gaze I can feel it calling me I’m in ecstasy Now there for days She passed the time That pale little girl in darkness She tied to me The strings int her heart We’re lying in the pouring rain This water woman A miracle to see I’m thanking the stars up above I can’t believe that she came to me Her eyes were as pure And white as snow She held me in her gaze I can feel it calling me I’m in ecstasy It’s what she does to me I’m feeling like a king She is my ocean queen With our love are all the answers Eternity is ours for taking Nevermore to face the darkness Free from misery and sadness

C.E.I. 03:51
I draw the line You’re the best You’re thrilling me With that dress So c’mon baby and turn around Let me show you The love in me What you wearing under there Doesn’t rhyme with four and five I got a fire that burns in me To your beautiful soul I’m bound Hold me in your strange Beating hearts in time Cosmically, eternally intertwined In a sleazy room in paradise I came for one we made it three I fell for you, a man insane A slave to love at your command Now every day and every night With each embrace and every fight Sexy, electric eyes on me Celestial bodies we collide I give you all I am No longer to drift in space Cosmically, eternally intertwined You and me Were born to be together With each mistake And every lie, its been a ride Through chance and change I’m redefined With your hand in mine We reunite

Icarus 04:49
If you should fall into the sun I can’t save you I’m on the moon Before the morning blooms You’ll already be gone I dream of Icarus He calls me, he knows my name In flames his destiny And yet he continues on Carelessly you prepare to fly For all to see, a sideshow scene The people come from miles around To stare in awe I please, dear Icarus To slow down, to play it safe Manic his energy Impulsive and unrestrained Hear me, dear Icarus, This journey you won’t survive See him fall As he burns Nothing is left But his skeleton wings I dream of Icarus He calls me, he knows my name In flames his destiny And yet he continues on

Snowblind 05:28
I’m visiting from out of time To ring the funeral bell I’m shoving lovers in the trunk With a gun in my hand I saved them all from lethal injection I’m burning up Let’s dim the lights We’ll have a dance or two I’m seeing double that’s the trouble With these alien eyes Too many nights have I gazed in darkness They wanted you all along They wanted you right where they could see What part of you isn’t gone This isn’t my plan I’m afraid to breathe The games you play Are a crying shame You blow yourselves away You’ll never stop Til the Earth is a desolate rock And you’re the last Of your god’s creation. They wanted you all along They wanted you right where they could see What part of you isn’t gone This isn’t my plan I’m afraid to breathe I’m feeling the ragged edge I’ll follow it down to where you lie Awaiting the coronation Kneel before me There is no escape These are the new commandments Take heed you might survive them Confused, undone and snowblind Let it bleed to kill you faster Won’t you stay awhile For the death parade You’re a god in hell Im your master It’s your fate indeed To return to me The devourer everlasting Wont’ you stay awhile See the great decay As your vision fades Into shadow You will burn tonight And I will bury you Won’t you stay awhile For the death parade You’re a god in hell Im your master It’s your fate indeed To return to me The devourer everlasting Wont’ you stay awhile See the great decay As your vision fades Into shadow In your soul I see Not a sign of faith You’re a mind diseased Full aphasia They wanted you all along They wanted to peel you down to bone And nothing was left to save The barren earth is now your home They’re crossing the borderline Between the terror and your dreams Unable to look away I tear you apart at the scenes Death parade God is Hell Blinding stars God is hell Evil mind-god is hell Left behind god in hell Eat the sun-god in hell Break the night-god is hell Breathe in light-god we sell Firm in faith god we sell Close your eyes embracing hell Break the night-god is hell

Mr. Zero 05:38
My mind is running down Like an old machine I hold my head up and look around For what is left of me Out in the distance a pair of eyes That never look away In desperation I’m begging you Be what I need today Could I call you my hero Because all of mine are gone And I’m feeling like a zero Before but not within Could I call you my hero My last one was a fake We don’t need another Nero Call me Mr. Zero He was a shade of gray I’d never seen before A broken essence a withered man Without the words to speak Just then in my head I heard a call A ghostly voice that said. “Head on but know That the life you live Is on the way to death” But could I call you my hero Because all of mine have died And the end is near oh no Within but not beyond. Could I call you my hero Will you fake it for a day I could settle for a Nero Call me Mr. Zero Eternally now left to wander Within the valley of the dead Cold beneath the earth If you let me call you hero I won’t get in your way I’m not living in fear oh no Help me cross the great divide The silence in the air is haunting I fell into the end Look into the sky Blinded by the sun.

Whatev Kev 03:36
A common cause Keeping time Waiting for an alabaster dream I fell into a shallow grace So many eyes looked away Right here You can forget the voice of reason Going insane like Jackie Gleason Straight to the moon I’m out of season How about you come with me. I feel no damn value here Wrapped up in your cellophane Trapped between two windowpanes Beneath the sheets two lovers Miles apart but next to each other There’s nothing more that you could do This deep emotion is a raging ocean Reality consumed in the fire Treating away all trace Of madness looming Burning at midnight Yearning to feel right Running away I’ve been running forever. I feel so much better Let down like a feather Receiving you loud and clear Everybody knows now That I fear my shadow But if I try to fake it I’ll never get a heaven There’s nothing more that I can do For faithless wasteful youth I’d rearrange the stars If I were bored with the view Right here You can forget the voice of reason Going insane like Jackie Gleason Straight to the moon I’m out of season How about you come with me. Hey

From the Top 04:21
A sudden quickening I’m seeing everything But the faces are to me a blur The silence in my head Through passages of time I cannot see beyond the veil A prison of my own design The darkness in the sky Washes over me Sweeping me away And every friend to me Is now an enemy I got no reason Left to believe In anything but breathing A burning effigy Is what I want to be Haven’t got a reason left To frame the visions Underneath my skin I feel buried alive And sleep is just a dream I’m running out of time To reverse the slow decay When I’m alone at night It doesn’t feel right I’ve only got myself to blame I couldn’t make them stay I pushed them all away In a better place I might reclaim The better memories of mine I’m tearing it down To build it back up I don’t want to die But I’m not living this way Show me an ending where I’ll be alright For I have tried and failed To be anything But a stone of lies Everything I see is cold and gray Give me what I need to survive Another day

I’m staring at precisely nothing Confounded in dire need of truth I cannot take away The unrelenting sense of doom I can no longer tell you who I am You’ll find me there beyond the borderline On a throne of memories I’m insane that is why I indemnify To compensate for the effect A sea of dissolution Cleanses me of all joy Self-righteous and yet self-deluded I dance around the hole I made In flames I erase the pain With a narrow point of view I’m dying ever faster The suffering everlaster Devoid of reason Yet the trees above They sway in deadly ways I’m insane that is why I indemnify To compensate for the effect A sea of dissolution Cleanses me of all joy I can’t avenge the little boy I used to be So long ago the day he died Above the clouds he’s soaring Through the Milky Way The suffering everlaster I’m dying ever faster The suffering everlaster Come on and test me I’m insane never more to indemnify Tragically it had no effect A sea of dissolution disappears Without a trace I’m insane that is why I indemnify To compensate for the effect A sea of dissolution Washes over me.

Stop 04:21
I think I’ve been awake For forty days Yet I can’t get this Crown of thorns to stay on And I get the feeling I’ve been led astray I’m drowning In a sea of paranoia The devil’s coming to get me, His face so familiar Like my own reflection Yes Take a look Beneath the sheet for me See the little boy You left in pieces In that little room You locked away With your disease You brought to life my nightmares Momma’s coming to get me The anger so familiar As she starts to beat me Who not to blame For my emotions Don’t pray for me I’m doing fine Im not sick But there’s a ghost in my head And it needs release To set me free Though my history Is filled with pain I will rise Above my shame victorious Any minute now You’re gonna see You can’t do anything to me You’re just another voice In my head You’re just a voice But to me you’re dead You’re dead To me you’re dead.

Turn Ups 04:02
There’s not much left here to save Witness the dawn fade to gray And I’ll be fine it’s just Everything weighing on my mind I’m hollow in need of your shelter Unfortunately I’ve arrived too late All they left me was pain A smile is the hardest to master When you feel like you’re dying Though I make it look easy It’s a lie tonight tonight I’m burning alive Please stay with me now There in your arms Peaceful and sane What could I do to repay I’ll worship the earth That you’re walking on. You gave me the power to conquer All my shadows and demons It hasn’t been easy But tonight tonight The lie is burning alive You’re here with me now Help me restore my will to change Under the light of the stars I finally found The strength to move on Gave into the fledgling flame All I am is there to see All of my life all the answers Have eluded me have eluded me Then you found me like an angel Broke the chains of my insanity My insanity You’re here with me now Forever more I will remain The light in the flame More than the light of the stars My love will live on

Desperation is a rising mountain Unable to to ascend Unrelenting like a raging ocean The voices inside your head Any minute you’ll be cold and broken A shadow lost in time In a never ending state of delusion Lost between the lines I see you coming down Your soul In disgrace you will die Who will save you now From yourself From losing all you control. You’re a paragon of overreaction And wild insanity The wheel are turning But you’re going nowhere Fighting just to breathe Any minute you’ll be on a the inside A cage of your misery It’s all chaos and confusion You’re no different from me I see you coming down Your soul in disgrace soon to cease Who will save you now From losing all you control Lost in isolation Contemplate your failed creation And you abandoned us all Under cover of night Oh mother You inflicted agony I’ve been through hell and finally I realize You were both the master and the slave As I leave you behind Mad with paranoia Pay heeds these words It’s not too late Give up your pain Rise above the fire Breathe and be one with the light

Wars at Home 05:32
Your homeland in ruins Defaced and buried deep beneath the sand And yet you seem to carry on In exile, All sense of justice broken in your mind Tonight you may give up your life Your rights of passage are denied Their faces forgotten Barely breathing rapture in despair The world in vain is rendered blind Hey Israel you war machine Erasing all of life in Palestine Tonight you may give up your life Your rights of passage are denied You seek to find the answers Your faith in god never unraveling No hope for resolutionDenied the revolution Your pride restrained afraid to fall Deny deny the truth will die Your soul’s been tried in the deepest grave Consumed for all to see to feel Can’t you see the women The children the men are slaughtered By the thousands On and on and on The cleansing carries on Tonight you may give up your life Your rights of passage are denied Consumed for all to see to feel Your soul’s been tried in the deepest grave Deny deny the truth will die Give it back
