Stand Your Ground

I don’t believe, I don’t believe
We’ll ever see the sun again
We are the shadows in the gloom
Lit by the waning crescent moon
We shun the light of day
It’s safer in the dark
Much sounder underground
So take my hand, I’ll keep you safe
I’ll keep you sheltered from the plague
Sons and daughters, settle down, we’ve found a way to live
With everything they’ve done to us
Learned to coexist
Sons and daughters, settle down, your trust you have to give
No matter what they’ve done to us, soldier on, we soldier on…
One, two, three, get on your feet, it’s time to venture out
Through the streets of Nethertown, into the Woods of Doubt
Just stay alert, they’re all around!
Watch your back, don’t drop your guard
Be sure to stand your ground
We’re fighters in the fray
We’ll drive the beasts away
Don’t you know we’re here to stay?
So take my hand, I’ll keep you safe
I’ll keep you sheltered from the plague
Sons and daughters, settle down, we’ve found a way to live
With everything they’ve done to us
Learned to coexist
Sons and daughters, settle down, your trust you have to give
No matter what they’ve done to us, soldier on, we soldier on…
So take my hand, I’ll keep you safe
I’ll keep you sheltered from the plague
We’ll face the madness in the grey
We’ll live to fight another day!

Sink
04:01
|

Buoyant in the dark
Hidden by the wind
Crawl in through your window
Fingers on your pillow
Make myself at home
Touch your underwear
Masquerade as lovers
Underneath your covers
You, my little lamb
Open up your eyes / heart
Time to take your life
Time to take your life
Sheets are red with blood
Slowly you succumb
I claim you as my lover
Now you must surrender
Skin is cold and grey
The curse is in your veins
Soon you’ll feel the hunger
Your world is torn asunder
You, my little lamb
Open up your eyes / heart
Time to take your life
Time to take your life
Senses agitated
Skin is grey and taut
Mesmerised by plasma
Addicted to your love
Subjugate your instincts
Classify your lust
Bloodlust your religion
Violence your defence
Shadows are your weapons
Stealth your greatest friend
You, my little lamb
Open up your eyes / heart
Time to take your life
Time to take your life

Sailors out at sea in the evening gloom
Blue light on ship mast high no burn
Take into the dark beyond the safety of land
Go hand in hand in the night
Sail into the thunder electricity charge
Between cloud and the sea feel the static on me
Flickering light lying close to the ground
In a marshy countryside
Disappearing then it appears beside me
Floating over the ground
Atmospheric ghost light will lead me
A flickering lamp in the night
The split beyond the light that shines on lonely consequences
Illusion comprehend cannot defend this view of
The light that splits the cloud
Imagination hallucination reflection of our interpretation
Resolution beyond perception
Disperse refraction in our illusion
Things are shining brightly up in the sky
Move around this floating sphere up here
Lightning flash it burns up sky high in the air
Spectrometer silicon soil
Atmospheric ionic discharge
Radiation microwaving
The split beyond the light that shines on lonely consequences
Illusion comprehend cannot defend this view of
The light that splits the cloud
Breathing in another day
Our mind awakes to shape the shadows
Of morning light dissolving dark
Growing all around

Take the Time
05:25

Take the time to look around
See the world and hear the sounds
Waves are crashing on the shore
Take the time to feel alive
Seize the world and hold it tight
The waves are lapping at your feet
The time has come to walk away
Feel the wind upon your face…
Take the time to carry on
Undeterred by right and wrong
You make the rules – this is your game
Take the time to work it out
Remember how it all began
How you went from strength to strength
How you fought to make amends
And how you will until the end
Take the time to feel alive
The world in which you live it will provide
All you need – the will to survive
You’ve got to open up your eyes and make the time
Take the time to start again
When all is lost along the way
Possessions only weigh you down, anyway
Take the time to rise above
A light that shines still after dusk
Hit the road and kick the dust
Leave your footprints in the earth
Live to fight another day
Take the time to feel alive
The world in which you live it will provide
All you need – the will to survive
You’ve got to open up your eyes and make the time
You must make the time my friend

Seven Boats
07:23
|

Speak to me from the stormy sky, the wind will fly then die
It's not kind to be so still, speak to me from on the hill
Oh, if it was possible after grief and pain
To find the arms of my true love around me once again
In the day of no creation nothing living here...
A lonely star born from afar bringing new life near
Then if it was possible for one short hour to see
The ones we loved that they might tell us what and where they be
Bring the solar wind, together, will form and live this life forever
The universe creates no answer, to live within this dark together
Oh, if it was possible after grief and pain
To find the arms of my true love around me once again
We’re best at once to sink at peace, like birds the climbing serpent draws
To drop head foremost in the jaws, of empty darkness left to keep
Then if it was possible for one short hour to see
The ones we loved that they might tell us what and where they be
In the morning light
The sun will dry your tears
Fade to black
Returning life to here
Speak to me from the stormy sky
The wind will fly then die
The days of light, move the river, the seven boats of our creation
Moving on a billion years, reveals our destination
Patterns turn, move and burn, determine the final battle cry
Towards the burning sky...

Verbrennen

Like a bird above the sky at dawn
In the air you fly, on the hunt for prey
And you come to me
Like a fiend devoted
You’ll claim your victim
I’ll yield to you
Fire – set me free
I feel it slipping through my fingers
Gasoline
Turn to flame – turn to dust again
Throw my body to the wind and let me rest
In the throes of death, in the grasp of pain
I turn to you, to the fiery face
What a strange delight
Like a bleak reflection
My destination: a colder world
Fire – set me free
I feel it slipping through my fingers
Gasoline
Turn to flame – turn to dust again
Throw my body to the wind and let me rest
Pallid, grey, cast away
I’m in the air, soul astray
I’ve gone beyond the final veil
Limitless this sea on which I sail

Windows
05:17

Into the light
All my prayers my dreams
Thrown into the light
Where once this soul it roamed
The meaning of life
No way to seek it out
I'm stuck here inside
They're feeding us lies
But I'm afraid that's just the way of the night
They're just beneath the surface
Into the light
Discarded, burned, corrupted
Stuck here inside
Window of mine - a door to the sky
Nothing seems right
A sense of something watching
Gives me a fright
I feel like I am choking
Walking outside
A voyeuristic notion
From the inside
Look to the clouds
Something strange directs me to the way out
Is this my own delusion
Can't figure out my final destination
Stuck here inside
Window of mine - a door to the sky
Head is aching, stomach churning
A need to know is what I'm yearning
Suddenly I find I'm flying
Onwards upwards am I dying?
I'm in a spiral falling from grace
Down to earth with the human race
Stuck here inside, I feel out of place
Eyes are on me
Freewill may be mine…
Window of mine - a door to the sky

Palace in the Sky
12:06
|

When the night comes to me, I close my weary eyes
To the dreamworld, I know that I must go
She’s waiting for me, in her castle in the sky
But there’s a mighty maze of hazards to surmount
Deeper I descend in the caves of mystery
Keepers of the earth protecting me
Guided by the light
Through the hollows dark as night
Be still my beating heart
Up above I ascend, flee the monsters of the deep
But in the cold light of day, it’s much the same
Over land, over sea, through the corridors I race
In the distance, the lady she awaits
Floating in the sky, got to find a way to fly
The palace pink, its gates are open wide
Guided to the air by the dragon’s flailing wings
Be still my beating heart
Palace in the sky - palace in the air
I’m strolling through the gates
Palace in the sky - palace in the air
My lady there she waits
This is my chance to save her
Save her from this brutal game…
So begins the final stage
My motivation right before me
Princess in the tower up above
Through the door and down the hall
Avoid the snoozing orcs and ogres
Princess just another level up
The guards are slow
“Catch me if you can!”
Not far to go
“Catch me if you can!”
And up the stairs I glide until I reach the top
The antechamber grand, the final space to cross
In the dreamworld
In the dream
I’m exactly who I want to be
And so I play
Play the game
Till I find her and I set her free
Through the chamber
Through the hall
I can see the glow beneath the door
And in I go
The game is up
I’m the saviour of the land again
Princess
Found you
Come with me it’s time to leave this place…
Palace in the sky - palace in the air
We’re strolling through the gates
Palace in the sky - palace in the air
We’re free

On the trail of wisdom through the trees
Above the world, I feel the mountain breeze
Snow is falling from the sky
Will I survive?
Cast away the yesterdays
On we go our separate ways
You and I we’re not the same
You and I we have to change
Spirits they divide
The parts are black and white
Far and wide we’ll go
Ourselves we’ll get to know
Until we meet again
We’ll try to satisfy
Dreams we tried to hide
The wishes we deny
On the trail of wisdom out at sea
The desert wide, it opens up to me
Northern lights immerse the sky
Will I survive?
I feel the pull of you again
For many years I’ve fought against
You and I we’re not the same
You and I we have to change
Spirits they divide
The parts are black and white
Far and wide we’ll go
Ourselves we’ll get to know
Until we meet again
We’ll try to satisfy
Desires beneath the surface, on the rise
Spirits they divide
The parts are black and white
Far and wide we’ll go
Ourselves we’ll get to know
Until we meet again
We’ll try to satisfy
Dreams we tried to hide
The wishes we provide
