- Chain-Driven Sunset
CHAIN-DRIVEN SUNSET
(Doctor & Pickard)
IF YOU AWAKE IN THE BREAK OF DAY AND NIGHT
OR IN THE SUNDOWN LAKE SEARCHING THE STARS ABOVE
YOU WATCH THE VOID AND THE SHAPES DARKER THAN DARK
SPROCKETS OF SKIES THE GEARING OF THIS ARK
I RECALL - FIRST TIME I SAW THROUGH
I RECALL - THE WEIGHT OF THE TRUTH
- For Fridrich
Can you say that all that you see around?
Is a world you can live in all happy and proud?
Small sources of evil where tears turn to blood
Small personal hells without heaven or God
What you‘re feeling while you live away
Something inside breaks
You’d change your ways
Soon you will learn that for this hidden war
- For Hannah
What you see is what you know
In this great and secret show
Your eyes went where you will go
With eyes closed you’re more alone
Keep your eyes open wide
When you can
Keep your eyes open wide
Your eyes are feeding your mind
- For Jack
Your perfection, without sense
Your mindless pride of emptiness
I don’t accuse you
How could I?
You gave me myself
You gave me life
I met an angel; I thought I’d go mad on the sight
Obviously human, so distant, painfully bright
- For John
Waiting for evening skies
Searching for the vibes and signs
Dreaming of sleeping whales
Singing the untold tales
And if I close my eyes
I’m the hurricane, merciless rain and a flood
Every time I fall from skies
I am the unspoken last silent word of God
- For Our Scorched Muse
COLD DREARY DAYS HAVE COME TO US, MY FRIEND
SUN DOESN’T SHINE AND I HOPE IT WON’T START
BEFORE MY LAST WORDS VANISH IN SILENCE
PLEASE LET ME SING FOR YOU FROM DEEPEST CAVES OF MY HEART
LET’S COUNT ALL THE DAYS THAT WE’VE WASTED BY HIDING
LET’S COUNT ALL THE WEEKS THAT WE’VE LOST THAT WAY
COVERING, MASKING, PRETENDING SMILING
BUT DEEP INSIDE FEARING THE DAY WE FACE OUR OWN PAIN
- Freezing Misery
SO YOU FEEL THERE’S NOTHING MORE HERE FOR YOUR BLEEDING SOUL NOW
BETRAYED BY LIFE, LEFT BEHIND AND ALONE
AND YOU SEE THAT YOUR BELOVED TREE WILL NEVER GROW OLD
IT’S LOOSING LAST LEAVES AND SHIVERING WITH COLD
IN THIS FREEZING MISERY
THE HAMMERS OF FATE WITH FURIOUS HATE CRASH YOUR LIVING
THEY FOLLOW YOUR STEPS, LURK AND HUNT YOUR DREAMS
AND THE HAMMERS SHALL BEAT AND BEAT UNTIL YOU STOP BLEEDING
- God Strikes Twice
BOTH THESE MANKIND AND PLAGUE THEY ARE THE SAME
THEY ONLY DESTROY, DESTROY AND SPREAD NEW PAIN
LIKE AN ACID AND CARNIVOROUS RAIN
ONE DEVIL BEARING TWO NAMES
ON ONE DREARY DAY WRATH WILL OPEN OLD SCARS
ON ONE DREARY DAY NEW ORDER SHALL COME FROM STARS
CAN YOU FEEL THE SHADOW IN OUR VEIN?
OUR MOTHER’S DYING AND NOW WE’RE GOING TO PAY
- Guilt Is A Vector Of Time
I understand the pain you feel
When looking back at what has passed, still much too real
You’d wish to go back just to see
If you can do a thing to change what’s to be
You’re not the first nor last to pray
That there’s a way to edit past day by day
Carved into time stay all our acts
Like the flies in the diamond, proof of facts
- Of Unrealistic Ambitions
Since you were born
Raised to believe
That one day you’ll be the one
But time has moved
No mother’s kid
But from the big cake you get none
You’re waiting behind, moving in the wake
Of the sharp and the strong
