DOWN
Down, going under
Down, going blindside
Flash, western skyline
Hear distant thunder
Down, going blindside
Flash, western skyline
Hear distant thunder
They let it happen. Born power-numbered
Born power hungry
They, they who have it
Born power hungry
They, they who have it
Oh, I see you hiding
I have watched you from the womb
And you'll be blind, so blind
When I hide myself from you
I have watched you from the womb
And you'll be blind, so blind
When I hide myself from you
Sleep, hypno-stasis
Sleep, hear no voices
No ancient voices
Sleep children faceless
Sleep, hear no voices
No ancient voices
Sleep children faceless
They kill their prophets. They write the headlines
They draw the guidelines
They kill for profit
They draw the guidelines
They kill for profit
I feel it coming. I feel the tremor
One shot for better
Then on
Forever
One shot for better
Then on
Forever
WOOD
Stern and still from atop his hill the WOOD looks over the valley
The animals know he watches
With calm and silent heart
The animals know he watches
With calm and silent heart
Giving shade to a sunlit glade 'til the forest floor makes its claim
He'll shelter a nest of wretched souls
Who only know how to take
He'll shelter a nest of wretched souls
Who only know how to take
And he knows it comes
Like a point on a line
For their lies
Like a point on a line
For their lies
Eternity bows to hammer on iron, the blood pours over the WOOD
The curtain tears, the animals know
by the blackness in the air
The curtain tears, the animals know
by the blackness in the air
LEAVING THE DESERT BEHIND
Aren't you tired of bleeding from the same old wounds?
Of hearing your voice as it echoes through the empty halls?
Years have come and gone but the memories linger
Wrapped around your heart, too cherished to depart
Of hearing your voice as it echoes through the empty halls?
Years have come and gone but the memories linger
Wrapped around your heart, too cherished to depart
A million miles of sand to the nearest open hand
As if alone on a desert in a distant land
How loud the silence of this world
Too intense the anguish, the beating of the sun
As if alone on a desert in a distant land
How loud the silence of this world
Too intense the anguish, the beating of the sun
The stone won't move unless you move it
The heart won't heal unless you let it break
The past won't die until you live it
The heart won't heal unless you let it break
The past won't die until you live it
Live it all and let it go
NOTHING SEEMS RIGHT
I could feel it right away ~ It would be that kind of day
Tension starts to bite ~ The quiet reveals my fight
And nothing seems right tonight
Tension starts to bite ~ The quiet reveals my fight
And nothing seems right tonight
I didn't mean to turn away ~ But I thought I heard you say...
Maybe it's just fine ~ Maybe it's my mind
Don't mean to start a fight but
Nothing sounds right tonight
Maybe it's just fine ~ Maybe it's my mind
Don't mean to start a fight but
Nothing sounds right tonight
Night time - city alive - neon shining down
But it's the same old streets, the same old sound
Time flying - ticking by - nothing much is said
Tilt your glass toward the answers overhead
And all you've got is what the night pours down
I'm gonna drink it to the dregs
But it's the same old streets, the same old sound
Time flying - ticking by - nothing much is said
Tilt your glass toward the answers overhead
And all you've got is what the night pours down
I'm gonna drink it to the dregs
Now I know you know the day that you turned and ran away
And I know you'd change your mind if the words would come out right...
Nothing feels right tonight
And I know you'd change your mind if the words would come out right...
Nothing feels right tonight
I won't face the crowd ~ The scene looks kind of loud
And the mirror hurts my eyes - and there's one cloud in the sky
I'll just keep out of sight because
Nothing looks right tonight
And the mirror hurts my eyes - and there's one cloud in the sky
I'll just keep out of sight because
Nothing looks right tonight
LIVING IN THE CRACKS
Father Mercy, save us from this day
For we were one and now it seems we've fallen from grace
When the cracks appeared at the first holy dawn
I fell down and you knew you'd be running alone
For we were one and now it seems we've fallen from grace
When the cracks appeared at the first holy dawn
I fell down and you knew you'd be running alone
She remembers when she saw it was crumbling away
Not a word but she knew he had something to say
Not a word but she knew he had something to say
And they'll never know why they keep holding on
Can't believe that forever isn't so long
Can't believe that forever isn't so long
Grant us vision when we need to see the look on your face
Give us some time, some space, but hold on when we're
falling away
Give us some time, some space, but hold on when we're
falling away
Alone in her sorrow she cries by herself
Hoping tomorrow her other half is coming back home
Alone in that darkness he waits through the night
Hoping that someday the kingdom will call him back home
Hoping tomorrow her other half is coming back home
Alone in that darkness he waits through the night
Hoping that someday the kingdom will call him back home
Do you remember when you thought you were falling away?
Did you hold on or believe that it all had to change?
Faster and faster the years will keep moving on
Outside of heaven, forever isn't so long
Did you hold on or believe that it all had to change?
Faster and faster the years will keep moving on
Outside of heaven, forever isn't so long

THORN
It's coming again, I can feel it. It's coming again though I don't need it
It's buried in my bones. I thought that you should know
that it's raining again and who can stop it?
You'll do it again when you don't want it
You throw the dog a bone and now you're gonna go, shadow rose, little thorn
It's buried in my bones. I thought that you should know
that it's raining again and who can stop it?
You'll do it again when you don't want it
You throw the dog a bone and now you're gonna go, shadow rose, little thorn
Don't want to remember when the wheel was in my hands
As the story always goes, you don't know what you have
As the story always goes, you don't know what you have
I danced on rooftops, little thorn. I thought I was your only hope
I fell asleep, shadow rose, and now you've got me by the throat
I fell asleep, shadow rose, and now you've got me by the throat
I dream bigger than you - fantasy blue - I'm in the sky
And I see rivers of light granting me sight all the way home
Leave it trampled and torn, cries of the thorn
echo behind
And I see rivers of light granting me sight all the way home
Leave it trampled and torn, cries of the thorn
echo behind
WORLDS AWAY
Your eyes grow tired of the sights they behold, your days will race as an era grows old
When the sounds of your words are a thorn in your side
then you know that it's you, not the place or the time
When the sounds of your words are a thorn in your side
then you know that it's you, not the place or the time
Found a stone that I'd lost in a place I forgot and I wept - for the door would forever be locked
Looking back on a world that swept you away
makes the edge of today seem so far away
Looking back on a world that swept you away
makes the edge of today seem so far away
Worlds come and go, none are here to stay
But the world where you want to be is many worlds away
But the world where you want to be is many worlds away
The present hurts too much, the future too unknown
So you take a tarnished past and call it shining gold
So you take a tarnished past and call it shining gold
New world upon you as you wake one day
But the world where you want to be is many worlds away
But the world where you want to be is many worlds away
ii
I'm on a mountain and we're seeing worlds below
I see the ashes and I see the colored stones
He gave the gifts that bore the dreams, so why would I let go?
I see the ashes and I see the colored stones
He gave the gifts that bore the dreams, so why would I let go?
I'm going where we want to go
Days at the spinning wheel, nights at the tavern. I'd probably die and I'd rather
I feel it every time I see it happen:
A world born to rot and die, and you made it happen
I feel it every time I see it happen:
A world born to rot and die, and you made it happen
One world, one way killed your fire-flashing grace
and fast passed the last days when that scowl became your face
and fast passed the last days when that scowl became your face
TRANSFORMATION
You're looking at a sparkling soul whose night has turned to dawn
No more living the failing role interdiction's hopeless call made me play
The original renaissance ended long ago and
left me with a dead man's chance of resisting on my own
How I fell
No more living the failing role interdiction's hopeless call made me play
The original renaissance ended long ago and
left me with a dead man's chance of resisting on my own
How I fell
It's time to do it in a different way
Because you won't see it with your face on the ground
Is your heart in it? Is that yes, you said?
Then forget the rules and take this life that you've found
Swallow the truth, let your heart call the tune
Because you won't see it with your face on the ground
Is your heart in it? Is that yes, you said?
Then forget the rules and take this life that you've found
Swallow the truth, let your heart call the tune
But goodness, don't stop calling the kettle black
Because goodness won't stop calling the kettle black
ONCE
It comes like fire in the blink of an eye
It wants you to reach and you can if you try
It whispers your name and it's passing you by
It wants you to reach and you can if you try
It whispers your name and it's passing you by
Consumed by fire in the carnival night
You ran out of steam and you ran for your life
It only knocks once and it's passing you by
You ran out of steam and you ran for your life
It only knocks once and it's passing you by
I will not blink
And if I run away in the night
I will not sleep
You know I'll be back by morning light
I will not let it pass me by
A gold-faced angel in heavenly white
You give what you have and it rots on the vine
The leaves turn red an she whispers goodbye
You give what you have and it rots on the vine
The leaves turn red an she whispers goodbye
It comes like fire in the blink of an eye
A blood red whisper tells you it's time
You fell asleep and it passed you
You piled up bricks and it passed you
You pushed it away and it passed you
A blood red whisper tells you it's time
You fell asleep and it passed you
You piled up bricks and it passed you
You pushed it away and it passed you
It's passing you by
GUILT
Morning came, and with it the pain, the guilt and the shame
Too many days I lie there awake, greeted by despair
Conscience a stranger and hope is the same, so far away
I cannot feel the warmth of a sun, the green of a field, the taste of the air
Too many days I lie there awake, greeted by despair
Conscience a stranger and hope is the same, so far away
I cannot feel the warmth of a sun, the green of a field, the taste of the air
Keep telling myself and telling the world that I'm happy being alone
Alone in my sin, alone with the voices throwing me around
Around again, it never ends
Lord, let me see the end
Alone in my sin, alone with the voices throwing me around
Around again, it never ends
Lord, let me see the end
Never before have the days been colder
My life is slipping away
My eyes burn with shame and my soul is numb
My life is slipping away
My eyes burn with shame and my soul is numb
NOW
Do you know the anger? Can you feel the tear?
Freedom is a shadow - is it really there?
Freedom is a shadow - is it really there?
Days blur into years and years become forever
Hope is lost and found a thousand times
A thousand years of pain while my will means nothing
Hope is lost and found a thousand times
A thousand years of pain while my will means nothing
Lost... but I must mean something
For I still have esteem, I have it in my dreams
Just to wake to chains
For I still have esteem, I have it in my dreams
Just to wake to chains
NOW ~ I'm running free with a gun in my hand
I'm running wild
I'm running wild
Another day and others crush my bones
My friends have lost their minds in directions far from mine
I direct tons of someone else's worthless stones
My friends have lost their minds in directions far from mine
I direct tons of someone else's worthless stones
"Why?" is a worthless question
I laugh at my cries and cry at my laughter
A month of silence after
I laugh at my cries and cry at my laughter
A month of silence after
NOW ~ I'm running free with a gun in my hand
I'm running wild
but
I'm running wild
but
I'll turn it around and swallow your child
before I think the gun belongs to me
before I think the gun belongs to me

Can't man his station - living for transfiguration
No real temptation - not consumed with procreation

Chosen to see just the bottom line

Can't understand stand the everyday

Old brittle pages - keep what's right from all the ages
No need for instance - feels It glowing in the distance

Better things to do in the tumbling time
Knowing that twilight's upon his kind

MOONCHILDREN
Born in the dead of the night on the one and only day, I could never put you down for long
Torn by a heavenly rain with a razor on your vein, you were going to take it on alone
Born in the overgrown undergrowth with a virus in your eyes
at the end of the serpent's tail
Torn by a heavenly rain with a razor on your vein, you were going to take it on alone
Born in the overgrown undergrowth with a virus in your eyes
at the end of the serpent's tail
I have felt you falling from the time you turned the other way
I will lift you up with all my strength and I will never stop
It seems like the whole thing spun out of control, it seems like the light has passed by
But child, turn your head, you can see it reflect off the moon
I will lift you up with all my strength and I will never stop
It seems like the whole thing spun out of control, it seems like the light has passed by
But child, turn your head, you can see it reflect off the moon
Born at the reticent end of the very first lie, you're a shadow told to find the light
Torn by a heavenly flash in the corner of your eye, you could never leave that love behind
Now in the eventide's autumn light there is nothing left to hold but
a skull and an ancient vine
Torn by a heavenly flash in the corner of your eye, you could never leave that love behind
Now in the eventide's autumn light there is nothing left to hold but
a skull and an ancient vine
It seems like the whole thing spun out of control, it seems like it all has gone by
But the light you received is still staring you down off the moon
But the light you received is still staring you down off the moon
The final rays of fallen sun have put me in my place
If what he said were only words, would they throw another stone?
If what he said were only words, would they throw another stone?
I'm not saying the end is coming soon but things are underway
I will lift you up with all my strength and I will never stop

But child, turn your head, you can see it reflect off the moon
I will lift you up with all my strength and I will never stop
It seems like the whole thing spun out of control, it seems like the light has passed by
But child, turn your head, you can see it reflect off the moon
The final rays of fallen sun forever put me in my place
Turn toward the waning crescent moon, the waning door of grace
Turn toward the waning crescent moon, the waning door of grace

NEW GYPSY HAND
Gotta fly away ~ Been counting down the days ~ Now it's 3-2-1
And I'm waiting for the sun to go down
Off into the night
Yes, the wagon moves best in the blue moonlight
And I'm waiting for the sun to go down
Off into the night
Yes, the wagon moves best in the blue moonlight
Never could have known ~ Did they really even care? ~ Too late
Now I'm moving west in the warm night air
Say goodbye to July
Her eyes gave it one last try
for the little green town with the little green glow
Slowed me down some but I had to say no
She saw it coming soon ~ Saw me looking at the moon
where the sliver on the left said time for me to go
Now I'm moving west in the warm night air
Say goodbye to July
Her eyes gave it one last try

Slowed me down some but I had to say no

where the sliver on the left said time for me to go
You go your way and I'll go mine
When I find your face down the line
I will give you everything I have
I've got all I need ~ I've got the streets in my hand
When I find your face down the line
I will give you everything I have
I've got all I need ~ I've got the streets in my hand
Eighty-five days and it's all getting stale but I'm up against the sea and
you know what it takes to set sail
I'm already running late
Shaking off venom from a little blond snake
World in her hands and they're falling at her feet but
I'm the one getting the smile and the bright blue eyes
Why? Maybe she knows
I'm never gonna let my name end here on a stone
you know what it takes to set sail
I'm already running late
Shaking off venom from a little blond snake
World in her hands and they're falling at her feet but
I'm the one getting the smile and the bright blue eyes
Why? Maybe she knows
I'm never gonna let my name end here on a stone
Shining brightly - Faces call me - Across the ether - Through the dreamlines
I'll ride the skyline 'til I find and place what has been given in their hands
I'll ride the skyline 'til I find and place what has been given in their hands
Yeah it's all gonna pass 'til my spirit gonna sail for the one true home and my bones
getting picked clean on road in a distant land by a sly like-minded crow
getting picked clean on road in a distant land by a sly like-minded crow
You go your way and I'll go mine
When I find your face down the line

When I find your face down the line
I will give you everything I have

VOICES
I have outwalked city lights to let the night explain
I have listened patiently to every drop of rain
One voice I am certain beckoning from heaven's faint road home
I have listened patiently to every drop of rain
One voice I am certain beckoning from heaven's faint road home
Stars shine - fly to them
Fast you'll fall and hard you'll land
Clouds glide - reach for them
But there is nothing in your hand
Fast you'll fall and hard you'll land
Clouds glide - reach for them
But there is nothing in your hand
No voice over rooftops beckoning me, calling me home
Quiet constellations, bones of angels over my head
Silent footsteps falling, following me on my way down
Quiet constellations, bones of angels over my head
Silent footsteps falling, following me on my way down
Child's eyes - mother's home
But that life you will never know
Tears roll - time to go
through the narrow door you've been shown
But that life you will never know
Tears roll - time to go
through the narrow door you've been shown
One voice I am certain carried words from holy heaven:
"I have loved until I've bled and I would do it again."
"I have loved until I've bled and I would do it again."
No voice over rooftops beckoning me, calling me home
EXTRINSIC FIRE
On a cold stone ledge, on the blackest night
I stood up, felt my ankles cracking
Crying frozen tears and afraid to listen
I threw the stone and this time I heard
nothing
I stood up, felt my ankles cracking
Crying frozen tears and afraid to listen
I threw the stone and this time I heard
nothing
So it's true then - all the things they said. Fiery angels do indeed speak but only in my head
Every flicker, every touch upon the soul
just imagined from the bottom of the one and only hole
Exiled and sent to the lonely place each one of us finds our intrinsic end
Every flicker, every touch upon the soul
just imagined from the bottom of the one and only hole
Exiled and sent to the lonely place each one of us finds our intrinsic end
I'm falling inside - why can't I see this isn't what I meant to be?
I'm buying the lies - the words you say are tempting me to think there's nothing
reaching down
I'm buying the lies - the words you say are tempting me to think there's nothing
reaching down
So I make the rules and write the only truth
After all, it's not what's right, they say, it's what is right for you
From my throne I stare into the mist
Can't help but notice that this paradise looks just like the abyss
Exiled and kept in the lonely place each one of us finds our intrinsic end
After all, it's not what's right, they say, it's what is right for you
From my throne I stare into the mist
Can't help but notice that this paradise looks just like the abyss
Exiled and kept in the lonely place each one of us finds our intrinsic end
But I've felt it
from outside
Made a note to never change my mind
Now I'm listening to angels and to liars, still reaching for the fire
from outside
Made a note to never change my mind
Now I'm listening to angels and to liars, still reaching for the fire
Stop falling inside - why can't you see this isn't what you meant to be?
Stop buying the lies - side by side with the others who pretend there's nothing
reaching down
Stop buying the lies - side by side with the others who pretend there's nothing
reaching down
Reaching down come the arms of fire - real as stone, I have received my sight
Lift me up to the higher ground
I'm reaching up for what is reaching down
Lift me up to the higher ground
I'm reaching up for what is reaching down
GOT YOUR BACK
As you hold me down I can barely fight. You hold all the cards but I've got the light
What was cast away - what you left for dead - is still glowing bright, glowing fiery red
What was cast away - what you left for dead - is still glowing bright, glowing fiery red
I've got half a mind to bury you alive. You poison my child's eyes and put a dent in mine
Just stick what she shakes in a ten-year-old face - now they only know the skin and you win
Just stick what she shakes in a ten-year-old face - now they only know the skin and you win
Yeah you've got the floor and you've got the bomb
And you'll drag them all to hell with your quick and easy sell
But I'm at your door and I'm here to say:
Just because something's been forgotten doesn't make it go away
And you'll drag them all to hell with your quick and easy sell
But I'm at your door and I'm here to say:
Just because something's been forgotten doesn't make it go away
I feel it coming on the wind and in the sky
It's going down even though they built it high
I feel it coming on the wind and in the sky
as every soul is reckoned by the water or the fire
It's going down even though they built it high
I feel it coming on the wind and in the sky
as every soul is reckoned by the water or the fire
Well I'm bleeding hard and I'm fading fast but I know just how long that I'm gonna last
What was cast away and was left to die is glowing brighter now, glowing fiery white
What was cast away and was left to die is glowing brighter now, glowing fiery white
You know what's behind the easy shit you ride
and you know most will never rise above those lies
And you live as if it doesn't matter down the line
but with your dying breath I dare you to lie
and you know most will never rise above those lies
And you live as if it doesn't matter down the line
but with your dying breath I dare you to lie
Yeah you told them all and you told yourself
that the glow on the horizon was all inside their heads
But I'm at your door and I say: Beware
Knowing just because you can't see me doesn't mean that I'm not there
that the glow on the horizon was all inside their heads
But I'm at your door and I say: Beware
Knowing just because you can't see me doesn't mean that I'm not there
LAST MINUTE DECISION
Dearest spirit, you've been chosen ~ With your finger on the trigger ~ Yes or no?
He's insightful ~ She's delightful ~ He is hoping she is open
Light shines - there's still time for her to say no
He's insightful ~ She's delightful ~ He is hoping she is open
Light shines - there's still time for her to say no
Diamonds flash behind the eyes ~ The silver tone behind the lies ~ Still they fall
Dearest spirit, will you listen? Diamond glint or water-glisten?
Rain falls down
Dearest spirit, will you listen? Diamond glint or water-glisten?
Rain falls down
Falling curtains ~ Foggy graveyards ~ What they'd give to have it back
Another crack, another stab at what you're holding in your hands
Light shines down
Another crack, another stab at what you're holding in your hands
Light shines down
FOR YOU
Once I was the world to you
Do you remember when I was showing you a river that would never end?
Yet I never said a word to you that would raise me up and set me on a pedestal
Do you remember when I was showing you a river that would never end?
Yet I never said a word to you that would raise me up and set me on a pedestal
So I gave it all away with all my faith
And everything I gave you were glad to take
Now you keep me hanging on a chain, reaching up
I'm holding on, just reaching, knowing it's been that way for far too long
And everything I gave you were glad to take
Now you keep me hanging on a chain, reaching up
I'm holding on, just reaching, knowing it's been that way for far too long
The tiny stone that you gave to me sparkled red and
I held it in my hand until my fingers bled
From my cage, you made me watch what I could never have
as you gave your love to anyone
I held it in my hand until my fingers bled
From my cage, you made me watch what I could never have
as you gave your love to anyone
But I kept a photograph in a silver frame so I'd remember all the things that you'd never say
Now the moon is in my veins
And the spider says: watch the mirror. Time flies. Hope you have sweet dreams now
I am gone
Now the moon is in my veins
And the spider says: watch the mirror. Time flies. Hope you have sweet dreams now
I am gone
I remember everything, all I heard - every single one of your empty words
And now a vision comes to me, to set me free:
And now a vision comes to me, to set me free:
On a frozen morning the day will come when you will reach but
I am gone
I am gone
MINE
Another night alone with no one at the wheel
The endlessness between us and I begin to feel
it's time to close my eyes
The endlessness between us and I begin to feel
it's time to close my eyes
Long now the days of grabbing empty dust, slipping through my fingers into nothingness
Now it's all behind
Now it's all behind
Each night I'd take a vampire flight across the ebon sky where I'd wait there in the dark for your reply
But as the answers I imagined disappeared, I seemed to find that I could only close my eyes
For only I am mine
But as the answers I imagined disappeared, I seemed to find that I could only close my eyes
For only I am mine
Another night is gone, another lonely moon
The morning brought the naked truth and now it's coming soon
There's a hole in the sky
The morning brought the naked truth and now it's coming soon
There's a hole in the sky
Lost now the day that it was shining on - we were lost in a moment that has come and gone
Now it's all behind
Now it's all behind
All my intentions always burned into ashes for your time
Growing crystalline wings in our own world and
it would all go away for a while
Now I wonder what it happened for
I never saw the saw the ground until I felt your hand no more
Growing crystalline wings in our own world and
it would all go away for a while
Now I wonder what it happened for
I never saw the saw the ground until I felt your hand no more
Another tired day in a dusty room
The cold earth is silent in the afternoon
Now it's all behind
The cold earth is silent in the afternoon
Now it's all behind
Now I sleep away the thoughtless day from the bottom of the grave we made
You have flown away, and in your flowery sapphire wake
I see all the way behind, clear as day now, for the first time
And I can only close my eyes, for you made me realize that
I'm not even mine
You have flown away, and in your flowery sapphire wake
I see all the way behind, clear as day now, for the first time
And I can only close my eyes, for you made me realize that
I'm not even mine
FRIEND
I met a man who climbed inside to find his god and golden sky
He ain't gonna buy those fairy tales of demons, death, and nails
Gonna make it his own ride, but he found out when he died
He ain't gonna buy those fairy tales of demons, death, and nails
Gonna make it his own ride, but he found out when he died
There was a girl who watched her father die by the blade of a rusty knife
And I felt my soapbox start to slide on her spit that missed God's eyes
Gonna say it anyway, gonna bleed into her pain
And I felt my soapbox start to slide on her spit that missed God's eyes
Gonna say it anyway, gonna bleed into her pain
Now it's shimmering in your frozen black tomb
You're eyes are glimmering from the light of the new sun and moon
I'm trying, I'm flying on the wind in the sky but
You're dying in the arms of an empty lie
Yet I know
You will rise again
You're eyes are glimmering from the light of the new sun and moon
I'm trying, I'm flying on the wind in the sky but
You're dying in the arms of an empty lie
Yet I know
You will rise again
I had a friend who could not find a thing in his soul that led him to the gate
And he cursed the words that left my tongue and he cursed his random fate
When he tried to take his life, I found the only word I had was "wait"
And he cursed the words that left my tongue and he cursed his random fate
When he tried to take his life, I found the only word I had was "wait"
You will rise again
HOW YOU'LL MAKE IT RIGHT
I get the gist. You seem to think you've got it right
I get the sense - from your defense - it's just a fight
You believe the faces on the screen would never lie
I get the sense - from your defense - it's just a fight
You believe the faces on the screen would never lie
I get the gist. We are the best. We've got the right
And their defense is an offense we've gotta fight
What would you do, walking in their shoes, I ask of you?
Go on in style. They're many miles away from you
And their defense is an offense we've gotta fight

Out of emotion, see what you need to see
Out of emotion, see if you can make it go away
Maybe if you close your eyes then
You've got it right
Out of emotion, see if you can make it go away
Maybe if you close your eyes then
You've got it right
So now I know how it goes. You've made me wise
If I don't like what's in sight I'll paint my eyes
That way the people on the screen will not tell lies
A loving, blood-soaked plan where the good guys win and the evildoers lose
Back home in candyland where money makes money and God approves...

Go to the ocean. See what's in front of you
Go to the ocean. See if you can make it go away
Maybe if you close your eyes
Out of emotion, I got it now: just pretend it's right somehow
Go to the ocean. See if you can make it go away
Maybe if you close your eyes
Out of emotion, I got it now: just pretend it's right somehow
Out of emotion, see what you need to see
Out of emotion, turn a blind eye
Go to the ocean. See what's in front of you

Maybe if you close your eyes then
You've got it right

LASTNESS IS BRIGHTNESS
We've come all this way even though we had to know the plan was destined to fail
It was what we had, just a background plan, a promised land we never wanted to see anyway
It was what we had, just a background plan, a promised land we never wanted to see anyway
She came all this way even though she had to know her words would fall away
There's a photograph, a dark blue dance. Her second chance wasn't all that far away
There's a photograph, a dark blue dance. Her second chance wasn't all that far away
That time we pushed it to the side, to the right. Held on while everything sunk down
with her way
with her way
First time I took it for the light
The clouds made for a long ride down
This time I know it's right to feel this way
You'll have to rule your world some other way
The clouds made for a long ride down
This time I know it's right to feel this way
You'll have to rule your world some other way
It's over. Can't you see what's happening? Time is up now and you can't turn it around
It's over. Nothing means a thing. Carry on now to the destiny you've found
It's over. Nothing means a thing. Carry on now to the destiny you've found
Yes, I know
Yes, I know
It was all I had. Just an open hand. A promised land you never wanted to see anyway
This time I'm coming from the ground
The clouds made for a long ride down
This time I know it's right to feel this way
You'll have to rule your world some other way
The clouds made for a long ride down
This time I know it's right to feel this way
You'll have to rule your world some other way
It's over. Nothing means a thing. Carry on now, to the ground beneath the clouds
It's over. Burn it all down. On to new life and we don't know...
It's over. Burn it all down. On to new life and we don't know...
HOT SMOKE AND SASSAFRAS
Walking slowly back and forth ~ There's a knock upon the door
There are spirits in the room ~ Something flitters in the corner, something moves
There are spirits in the room ~ Something flitters in the corner, something moves
Now the nervous hours pass ~ The window calling for his mind
There are eyes behind the glass ~ Turn away
If you don't, you'll find...
There are eyes behind the glass ~ Turn away
If you don't, you'll find...
Walking slowly back and forth ~ There's a knock inside his head
There is no one at the door ~ Still the knock is ringing in his head

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOUR EYES
I've got a question. Do you have eyes?
Because I saw the drama going down by design
Another question. How many died?
Clear New York morning, tell the world a lie
Because I saw the drama going down by design
Another question. How many died?
Clear New York morning, tell the world a lie
Do you have eyes?
Over the ocean now, fire on the golden sand
Fire on the common man again
Fire on the common man again
Let them eat cake. You wait in line
Debt slaves digging graves while lords look down from the sky
World money from the Fed under shield colored red, the all-seeing eye
Add zeroes to a digital lie and they rule the blind

Over the ocean, there went all the gold
Their children had been sold

We can have the bomb but you can't
We can start a war but you can't
We know everything we do is right because we're right
We can have the oil but you can't
We can have the food but you can't
Everything we do is right
We can start a war but you can't
We know everything we do is right because we're right
We can have the oil but you can't
We can have the food but you can't
Everything we do is right
Right
I see an invisible hand, a ruling class who hides behind the glass
There is a Bastille to storm
God help us through this coming new world war
