- Burden of the Angel Beast
From the lying mirror to the movement of stars
Everybody's looking for who they are
Those who know don't have the words to tell
And the ones with the words don't know too well
(CHORUS:)
Could be the famine
Could be the feast
- Closer To The Light
There you go
Swimming deeper into mystery
Here I remain
Only seeing where you used to be
Stared at the ceiling
'Til my ears filled up with tears
Never got to know you
Suddenly you're out of here
- Each One Lost
Under the big lights
shadows stretching long
the ramp is lowered gently to the tarmac
and all of us, we wait
in this sea of gravity
for the precious cargo to appear
Here come the dead boys
- Everywhere Dance
Moon of plenty, moon of mischance
Itll be what you want but you cant stop the dance
Try to count the steps and they change while you stare
And the translucent moon floats in waves of blue air
And we cry out for grace to lay truth bare
The dance is the truth and its everywhere
Pas de deux in stark silhouette
pulsing against a clear orange sunset
- Fall
Cloud pillars clinging like vines to the sky
Don't cry
We'll walk down the meadow with sunrise inside
So dry your eyes
The winds of all kingdoms meet where we stand
The gray forest people cast off their old clothes
Good-bye
- If I Had A Rocket Launcher
Here come the helicopter -- second time today
Everybody scatters and hopes it goes away
How many kids they've murdered only God can say
If I had a rocket launcher...I'd make somebody pay.
I don't believe in guarded borders and I don't believe in hate
I don't believe in generals or their stinking torture states
And when I talk with the survivors of things too sickening to relate
If I had a rocket launcher...I would retaliate
- It's Going Down Slow
Go tell the sergeant-major
To get that thing repaired
They're losing their pawns in Asia
There's slaughter in every square
Oh
It's going down slow
Oh
It's going down slow
- Lord of the Starfields
Lord of the starfields
Ancient of Days
Universe Maker
Here's a song in your praise
Wings of the storm cloud
Beginning and end
You make my heart leap
- Lovers In A Dangerous Time
Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by
You never get to stop and open your eyes
One day you're waiting for the sky to fall
And next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
These fragile bodies of touch and taste
- Rumours Of Glory
Above the dark town
After the sun's gone down
Two vapour trails cross the sky
Catching the day's last slow goodbye
Black skyline looks rich as velvet
Something is shining
Like gold but better
Rumours of glory
- Soul Of A Man
I'm going to ask the question
Please answer if you can
Is there anybody's children can tell me
What is the soul of a man?
(CHORUS:)
Won't somebody tell me
Answer if you can
- The Iris Of The World
Crossed the border laughing
Never know what to expect
They wanted to know what church I'm in
And what things I collect
They're trying to plug holes in the hull
While flames eat up the deck
The captain and his crew
Don't seem to get the disconnect
- Wondering Where The Lions Are
Sun's up, uuh huh, looks okay
The world survives into another day
And I'm thinking about eternity
Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
I had another dream about lions at the door
They weren't half as frightening as they were before
But I'm thinking about eternity
