A Tension Of Soulsi have lost the unobtainable i am faithless and afraid
my emotions are unstable control is hanging by a thread
and the misery of the world
is weighing heavy on my shoulders
my belief has not unfurled and i'm not getting any older
no i'm not getting any older and the world is turning colder
there's a gathering storm eating up the night
Autumn RedThere's a whisper on the wind
That's how it all begins
And I'm always tuning in
Through the drama, through the din
Though I'm standing in the middle
This is not the end
Babylon Risinggather round you sinners who don't believe in peace
you can all be winners if you let your soul fly free
don't be afraid the threat's not for real
be very afraid you've made your last deal
business men and money spinners rape the earth for gain
they don't like my ideas they label me insane
ChoicesChoices
Each new life killing time
They must wait can't escape
Clinging on each sad song
Swells the throng millions strong
Unaware if they care
Clone - 9. Sunrise On MarsDoctor found me just in time
Can't recall how long i'd been lying there
He said my body mind and soul
Had lost their true alignment
I thought i'd only hurt my head
The pain across my forehead reminded me
Its hard to tell you where it hurts
But won't you make it go away
ComplexWe've still got a system we want you to use
So cover your faces we're lighting the fuse
We've got all the data we've stolen the facts
You're losing control so we're taking it back
Forget all the things that you've known all along
Our latest advisors can prove that they're wrong
And just when you think that you're getting ahead
We'll change our research to confuse you again
Conceal the FaceConceal the Face
Her memory still hangs over me
And over me she kneels
I cannot find a constancy in anything I feel
I do not have words to say
How much of me she takes
But I could live forever
Consume to LiveConsume to Live
Living in greenhouse growing crops that we can't eat,
Making money out of poverty turning forests into meat…
We got our fingers on the trigger of some suicidal gun,
The population's getting bigger underneath a dying sun…
There's a fire in the furnace and there's nothing left to burn.
Critical Mass[Part One: fission]
Atom by atom gaining a few
Collapsing and waxing and building anew Eleven dimensions curled up so tight
Time and space one thing the speed limit light
Neutron and proton collapsing afresh
More complex carbons creating the flesh
Days of DearthDays of Dearth
Modern man has turned his back on old philosophies,
Lost the spiritual universe and gained reality,
Worship money, scientists and grim normality.
What use are logic, power and wealth with no society?
Scan the mind stand by earth,
Devotedwe fear the void like some dark temptation
(calling you under)
pulling us off course
just as we are beginning to get closer
closer to the light, closer to the light
and it gets harder to concentrate
and it gets harder to concentrate
DisappearShow me the door, cause I’ve been here before,
Always my conscience was smothered.
How can I mean to be part of your scene,
You’d hit me before I’d recover.
Sometimes you only find your feet,
When you’re walking away…
DissapearShow me the door cause I've been here before
Покажи мне дверь, ведь я бывал здесь прежде.
Always my conscience was smothered
Моё сознание всегда было под давлением.
How can I mean to be part of your scene
Как я мог желать быть частью твоего спектакля?
You hit me before I've recovered
Ты ударяешь меня прежде, чем я успеваю залечить раны.
Echoes Of LifeEchoes of Life
Everything's gone out of control silently sliding away
Destiny's end is calling again the future was yesterday
Visions of light fade in my eyes energy falls from my hands
Faint in the night echoes of life drown in the day's demands
How did I get so stranded?
Elusiveclimb the wall and leave it all behind
climb the wall and leave it all behind
you’ve got so much on your table
and I now that you are able
but you’re hiding in your cradle
trying to rock it all away
ExposedExposed
Sick of guessing what's behind your eyes?
I ask for truth and all I get is lies
The shrinking violet in your flaccid mind
Thinks he's cool but all you do is whine
And now you stand there and demand your half
When I have given to you all you have
Falling Away
There's a fire by the wayside
And it burns so bright
As the smoke rolls over us
We think that we're bathing in light
As we tend to our gardens
The world is growing wild
But we live in our tiny heads
Flags and FootprintsFlags and Footprints
I'm looking for a reason why I see no shooting stars tonight
Just a sign that everything's alright to quiet me, to quiet me
Maybe all I hoped was wrong maybe all I dreamed is gone
Maybe I was stupid all along for trying it, for trying it
But I believed in what you said
FragmentationWe are fragmented
Clinging on to a concept known as how
Drifting through dimensions
In a place which we call now
Simply unaware
Of what goes on above beyond and before
Behind us fly the ragged fragments
Goodbye Mother EarthGoodbye Mother Earth
You're tired of waiting for natural selection
So men are creating genetic perfection
The perfect example of holding the keys
For beautiful people with perfect disease
Your tower of Babel is falling from the sky
So while I'm able
Ground Controlwhere do you go where do you go for external forces
your body wakes but never waits to restore resources
do you believe in what you do or is it just for money
so if the world all does the same no wonder things are funny
just when you thought that you were building on a rock
you find you've dug yourself a hole
and you'll be facing such a futuristic shock
Half Way HomeHey, can't shout any louder
Here I am, can I stay a while?
Hey, it's getting colder
Hold me now, closer than the wind
And save me from this hurricane inside
I've got better ways to waste my time
Than waiting for the sun to shine for everyone
Hall Of EchoesHear the voice say the word
Thoughts and theories are never heard
No distrust no recall
One illusion to cover them all
So burn all the books destroy all the bridges
Sell them the desert as mountains and ridges
Wrong time and place but it's a matter of pride
Shooting down the other side
He Is I Amdo you feel that your life is in a rut
that the modern world is all too much
do you want to remove the pain
do you want to begin again
and if you need it we can re-arrange your life
take away the misery the trouble and the strife
coming from the darkness he is standing at the door
Innocentpicture time as before
where you slept through it all
they believe you were there
why deny what i said?
vicious lies being heard
you stand there how absurd
and with hate in your mind convict me
InterventionI was driving through the fens in a peaceful English scene
Paid for by my grandfather the original gunners dream
I was taking life for granted though I was born to die
It's been a long time since a bomb dropped from the expansive Norfolk sky
I was listening to the radio and the talk was all of war
Freed themselves from Tito settling old scores
Into The Lighti'm lost in the half world where the heart and mind collide
on the shores of my dispassion with all feelings locked inside
who made the promise that the key of life is here
who drew the symbols for the mind that will appear
and i continue down the road i will not tread
and i will fear no evil from the words i have not said
who made the promise that the way of life is clear
who drew the symbols for the man that will appear
Keep It With MineKeep It with Mine
How can you worry? We've got so much time.
The world can keep on spinning and the sun will always shine.
If you walk around with both your eyes open,
Don't let them know your heart is broken,
Just keep it with mine, oh,
Life's Too Goodi can see what you think of me
i can know what you want from me
i cast a glance and you understand
i think aloud and there's money in my hand
life's too good
why have i been given the design why must i feel guilty all the time
all your garbage clogging up my mind and the new world moves away
Light And Spaceas you look on your surroundings from the mountain to the sea
you find everything i gave you you see everything but me
i am the storm that won't be calmed i am the calm that follows
i'm in the stars that fill your sky and when i choose
i'll be in your thoughts i'll be in your dreams
all the light you see all the air you breathe
Long Way Homei thought that you were driving or never thought to ask
all the while you left me in control
somehow i'm surviving it doesn't seem so hard
cos i'm not on this journey all alone
and i know the way i'm feeling but i just can't find the words
i go my own way down i fall again
Losti'm walking a tight-rope stretched twixt truth and illusion
sometimes it's real but my life just seems to melt
into helpless confusion i just can't deal with the
lust for acceptance and the pain of rejection
my heart won't heal as i circle it round with a
wall of protection
i'm hiding all the pain and i can't accept the blame and i'm
Lost Along The WayYou stare at the embers
You walk to the door
You still don't remember
What you're leaving it for
Just know you've got to get away far away
Surrender the war surrender the war
You're kicking you're screaming
Lost In Your MemoryDo you wander through the darkness
Unaware of what you'll find
Still you know to keep on going anyway
In the strength of all the roots that grow with time
Do you suffer through the sunlight
Longing for a drop of rain
Still you know to keep on going anyway

neutral is dangerous and you cannot ignore it
Narcissuscaught in the headlamp glare of your own blinding vanity
mesmerised by the stare of your shallow personality
gorging the junk food of flattery you drag your fat ego around
everyone floored by the battering you give to whoever's around
trapped in the personal hell of your own desperate addiction
frightened that others can tell of your expensive affliction
with your happiness based on a chemical you wax lyrical with words so profound
Oceanboundevery time i try to climb a mountain
all i find are steeper ones ahead
every time i walk along the highway
all you do is push me to the edge
i'm not afraid
let the sky become an ocean pull me in above my head
won't deny my one devotion lose or win cos i'm not scared
One Degree DownNo sense in admitting I’m weary from the wait
No sense in pretending that
I’m pressing on the gate
No power in a promise that I can find the cause
All it takes are a few mistakes
So how can I be sure
What if I fall, what happens next
Opiumlost in the haze so far away how can we get back home

I pictured this so many times,
I wasn’t scarred at all…
But everytime I got this far,
I never felt so small…
Round and RoundRound and Round
Can't rely on reality
Things ain't what they appear to be
When you visit please don't forget
The fragile mess of this nervous wreck
Who of you feels he's been here before?
Seventh Angelgive me life give me air to breathe

give me truth and give me lies
and as the night turns into day
i will walk the narrow way
though it be beset with evil thorns and briars

Nobody sees the darkening skies

Siren Sky8. Siren Sky
Awaken in me a warning, shake me from my sleep

Effortlessly I felt the shock wave that stirred the dead
The damage plan of angels, a separatist's end

Well you talk about the way out
Like there’s no way out
When you talk about the way out
And you talk about redemption
With a heart of doubt
Sunseekeri've spread my wings i've cut the strings
my puppet days have died
i've prayed until i have free will i've shut out all the lies
i can't make sense of fate's portents on patterns i've relied

the future is a mystery now the stars have turned to grey
my freedom rests on knowing how to think and do and say

When someone found the box
It promised hope and future
Can't tell you what it cost
To spare us from the northern wind
The Destruction of WordsThe Destruction of Words
I don't need allusion I don't need blame
I don't need collusion to help me find my way
I could drown in your delusion and everything you say
Fact is just a fusion of every shade of grey
Truth is sublime but talk is just a waste of time
The Domino EffectBe careful what you're looking for
You'll always find an open door
One mistake just leads to more
And you won't get to choose again
An unintended consequence
You become the target
While you're busy taking aim
Destroying all your evidence

And wants to tell of things to shake you
But he's so nervous of indictment
Torn To ShredsDriving down the freeway staring at the sun
Longing for protection from everything we've done
Missing the connection drifting over our heads
We're wearing out the world like a garment that's
Torn to shreds
Burning down the forests so we can write a book
Of how to save the knowledge of all we overlook
Turned To DustI talk intention
I dream desire
I walk by the thread of the wind
And the thoughts are my own
And the thoughts are my own
It’s a long road redemption
I’m a long way from home

What do you gain from all that you've done?
Everything comes to an end.
Ages will go and ages will come,
And who will remember you then?
All that has been it will be again,

So what you gonna do now?
You've ushered in the rain
Will To GiveWill to Give
I thought you weren't contagious, I thought I owned my inner-self,
You offer, now I forget the reason I can't have.
As you try hard to please me this need turns to greed down inside,
I touch the hand of my sickness and feel my faith divide.
If I said I would, would you care? Would you take me there?
