To hear the calling of the thunder
To be the holder of a dream and hold it near
To be a rider on the storm clouds
And bring the rains who beg it dear
I bring the clouds to shield the sunlight glowing over me
I wish to part the sky in two and drown their dreams
I want the falling rains to wash away the dreadful stains
To flood the blighted land and seas and start again
To ride the changing winds of fortune
To rise into a storm of fear and hear the gale
To wait the long and tiring journey
Where waves come crashing from the sea
I bring the clouds to shield the sunlight glowing over me
I wish to part the sky in two and drown their dreams
I want the falling rains to wash away the dreadful stains
To flood the blighted land and seas and start again
To hear the calling of the thunder
To be the holder of a dream and hold it near
To be a rider on the storm clouds
And bring the rains who beg it dear
To see the crashing of the lightning
To feel the cold air blowing in (its blowing in)
To think the sun could never see me
To know the deluge will now stay

Escape
04:07
|

Falling in so deep
Memory so faint
Dark shade, swallowing
All that’s left of your soul
Your figure sways
Like a frail tree
Blown away
By the slightest breeze
Escape this place
You run away
Don’t be afraid
You’ll fly again
You will set sail
And turn away
From all this pain
To live
Crawling on your knees
Pale eyes, drifting
Your strength wanes, you fall
Your courage has gone
Your tired eyes
Can’t stay awake
Falling in to a deep sleep
Escape this place
You run away
Don’t be afraid
You’ll fly again
You will set sail
And turn away
From all this pain

Looking Skywards
04:09
|
|||
In mazes dark, a hopeful light
When any light will do
Escape the dim black night
Walk into something new
How quick you follow
How quickly you forget
The darkness left behind
You’re all in need of someone
You all need a sign
You’re all looking skywards
The sun has left you blind
Into the light, its so defined
It bends and twists into
Whatever you desire
It always follows you
And quickly changes
To a familiar form
Just like a mirror
You’re all in need of someone
You all need a sign
You’re all looking skywards
The sun has left you blind

Usurper or Saviour
04:25
|

Mould a man whilst young
Into the shape you so desire
Rid his weakness now
A model leader will surely grow
And stand behind him
And lean unto him
And live life for him
And give life to him
Reward good behaviour
Usurper or saviour
Worthy god or demon
Trustworthy or treason
Unleashing a toxic wave
Of vile raw vitriol
Vilify and chastise
The weakness soon will show
Then stand behind him
Then stab into him
Then take life from him
Then rise above him
Reward good behaviour
Usurper or saviour
Worthy god or demon
Trustworthy or treason
Reward good behaviour
Trustworthy or traitor
Worthy god of reason
Usurper of treason

Tired of silence and confusion
Awaiting answers that never came
Tired of searching and seeking
It just keeps me awake
Keep my mind alerted
For a meaning, however vague
Looking desperately for guidance
Do the stars point the way
And I know all the times I looked inside to find a key
Something buried deep in me
And I know when I tried to find a meaning or a way
I just wasted all my days
I’ve dug so deep, to cultivate a past
The memories won’t ever last
Every time, a moment I rejoice
Someone takes away my voice
Every door deserted
Every pathway is in vain
Hoping quietly for semblance
Are the answers all the same?
And I know when I tried to find the secrets of the past
It just never made much sense
And I know if I tried to seal the burning of the flame
It just swallowed me the same
Now I know all the times I looked inside to find a key
It was never there in me
Now I know when I tried to find a meaning or a way
I lost many, many days
Now I know when I tried to find the secrets of the past
There was never any chance
Now I know if I tried to seal the burning of the flame
It would wither all the same

Close Your Eyes
04:34
|

You may think you’re alone
There’ll be a time when you are
You’ll be a stranger to love
There’ll be an absence of warmth
Close your eyes
Look deep inside
Watch that fire burn
Whispers heard
Still the darkness
Blinds your sight
In the fading light
The Coldness binds
Some might say you’re alone
There’ll be a moment in the night
You’ll gaze upon the night sky
There’ll be a star in the dark
You may know you’re alone
There’ll be a danger in your mind
You’ll have to look towards the sky
There’ll be a home up high

Nothing to Find
04:45
|
|||
All the years slowly waste away
All the memories fading in the shade
Your existence is in question now
Try one last time, try to fight again
Cold and lonely
you walk through the night
You’re slowly stumbling in
The fading moonlight
You turn to see all
your journey behind
But in the darkness
There’s nothing to find
Bold and lonely
You call to the night
You’re slowly crumbling
You’ll give up the fight
You look to see all
The journey ahead
But all you see is death
Come the morning you slowly wake
Will the sunlight, even stir your eyes
Dream of past times, wander in your mind
Take the journey, face the troubled times

You will hold me up on high
You will throw me to the sky
You will gladly watch me fall
I will do what I must do
It will all come down to you
Will you stand and watch me go
I would spread my wings so wide
If all I could do was fly
I would fly so far from you
I would watch all those who fight
Ready to take all they like
Leaving no one left behind
You will leave me out to dry
In the desert sun so bright
Leave my flesh to worms and flies
I would crawl into the shade
But my vision starts to fade
Just a silhouette of you
