Somewhere in this universe of lost forgotten dreams
The silence weaves a tapestry of once enchanted themes The shadows listen carefully and question what it means For stories have lives of their own But what good's a story whose end is unknown Stay with me For the little night that's left to be For a moment in a memory That time cannot defile Stay with me Where the night still offers amnesty And the ending is tomorrow's unborn child And stay with me awhile The darkness covers everything and carefully watches all It hides behind the storm's lightning and cushions every fall And everything it witnesses it always can recall Like things that the heart can regret Bury in time and then try to forget Stay with me For the little night that's left to be For a moment in a memory That time cannot defile Stay with me While the night still offers amnesty And the ending is still yet to be tomorrow's unborn child And stay with me awhile |

Here on this night
Behind walls made of stone Where no one can enter and The dark dreams alone But now someone's entered The walls are defied The shadows they watched While the dark sympathized But there in the silence There in the silence There in the silence Something hides Something lies Something dies Something breathes The mind can imagine The dark can deceive And here on this night Together they weave A shadow's repentance A forgotten life All brought together In the mercy of night But there in the silence There in the silence There in the silence Something hides Something lies Something dies Something breathes |

Do you see commissar
The night is darker Do you think commissar Their dreams are starker Do you hear commissar The night is breathing Could it be commissar We should be leaving Now before the curtain Does comes crashing down Do you hear commissar The night is silent Do you think commissar It is defiance Do you see commissar The mob has faces Could it be commissar The dark embraces All as darkness will And in that dark we'll drown Cities, towns We've torn them down And all we've found Are relics in a cemetery But never fear I will stay near And to the dark I will be your emissary Knights on horseback Bishops pacing All are losing ground The pawn is now a queen He's moved across the board unseen The move is down I believe That we've intrigued for far too long But now i think the plot has ended A quick retreat Into the street Admit defeat And hope our moves will be defended Across their throats The blade does wander They die without a sound Who'd have thought we'd meet As bones beneath the dragons feet The wall is down |

As the steam from the street starts to rise
The gutter whispers That the moon like a child has arrived The dark has missed her And the light that she lends is a guide Among her shadows Like the ghost from the past that survive And you ask me now What is my intent Here among the ruins Cloaked in false pretence And how do i belong I seek power Where the power remains I seek power In the back of your brain How will you see me If you don't know where i hide How will you bleed me If i am somewhere inside In the ashes of empires lost A distant warning On the danger of ignoring cost and children mourning As the memories cloud in our mind The past can glitter And so it has been designed I know every lie That the mind invents Though they're well disguised And cloaked in innocence And how do i belong I seek power Where the power remains I seek power Like the kiss of cocaine I seek power As the darkness descends I seek power And i'll have it again I seek power Where the power remains I seek power Like the kiss of cocaine I seek power When it's not always wise I seek power For the power survives |

There's a thief on a summer's night
Across an ocean Who sees another's life fading away And of this life he writes Without emotion Then pushes it from sight Somewhere faraway To a distant land Every tear betrayed And never makes And never makes And never makes And never makes a stand Makes a stand Lord there's something wrong Makes a stand Could a star's forgotten light A child's devotion Embrace eternal night In shallow graves As we watch from distant heights No breath or motion Still every ghost must haunt in its own way Sleep beneath my dreams Safe within my hands Where i never under Never under Never understand Lord there's something wrong No one remembers No one denies No one asks questions No one replies Here nothing enters Nothing departs Here nothing's ended If nothing starts In your life could you carry on Could you never think about it Till in time you start to doubt it Then you close your eyes Is it really gone How in truth can you defend her If you're really not remembering No regrets If you just forget If a memory is lenient You can find it most convenient So you let it fade Till it's very vague Just a silhouette of shadows But the shadows are still lingering Still i hold you there With your endless stare I'm too old to be living this Lived to long to be given this Can our god be forgiving this I had a light that shined Across my mind Rarely see it any more Now it is mostly dark Accept for sparks Can't remember what they're for I am the morphine child The dream defiled The never ending metaphor I am the wizard oz Result and cause Never look behind that door Cantations Cantations Cantations Cantations Never listen to the crowd before me Never listen to the self ordained Never really wanted to believe it any way Time is fading Night is calling I am on my way Turn around turn around Turn around turn around Time is fading Night is calling I am on my ... |

Jesus
What's the reason For these scars that will never heal Hearts that no longer feel Eyes that can no longer see Jesus What's the reason For this child that will not survive With all her dreams inside Could she mean nothing to thee And jesus please tell me if you can recall Just where you were when this sparrow did fall Jesus What's the reason Every tear isn't weighed the same Could you have died in vain If we have short memories And jesus would you then come down from your cross Return every nail and say we are lost And in the dark we seek your silent company For each hope that arrives and fades from memory Still after all this time our loss you won't concede For in the dead of night the rumor is Your hands they still bleed Still bleed Still bleed Still bleed Jesus It would seem then That somehow you still trust You have more faith than us Perhaps that is how it should be |

There's a man that i used to know
And sometimes he still visits with me When it's late and the alcohol's glow Is nearly gone And it's time to awaken And he looks and he laughs at the sight And he asks what has happened to me And i blame it all on the lights But he smiles and says i'm mistaken And there is no use in disguising What the eye can so clearly see That i've spent my whole life denying That the man in the mirror is me Give me one second chance Give me one final dance Give me one magic line Take a minute off my time Give me one final bow If the moment allows While he stares at the scars Saying just who you are Just who you are Just who you are In a child like illusion of life He imagined the things yet to be But they all disappeared on this night Carry on among the foresaken For there is no use in denying What the eye can so clearly see That one day i too will be dying And the man in the mirror agrees Give me one second chance Give me one final dance Give me one magic line Take a minute off my time Give me one final bow If the moment allows While he stares at the scars Saying just who you are Just who you are Just who you are Just who you ... |

When in your life did you surrender
Late in the night do you remember What were the dreams that you betrayed then Would you go back if you could save them now Did you believe there was something more Waiting behind some forgotten door Or was that all long before You felt the pressure grow inside your brain Where every nerve is on fire You start to wonder if you're going insane It's not a fate you desired Time is running down Moments of reason that we hope to find Are we a thought somewhere in god's mind A work of art that he has never signed No Children and mirrors have no memory They reflect us for that is all they see They are the us that is still yet to be And so we carry on The clock is ticking and your growing afraid That the end will be violent You walk the edges all around your own grave And the gods they are silent Or can not be found Searching your mind for correspondence from Joseph and mary and their only son Is their silence something you have done No And in the end what have you defied To end up so nearly crucified Just let me know when you decide That all hope is gone Come and see him dying For it's really quite a show Walking on a wire Though he never seems to know Even when he's falling You can see a little smile Figures that he's flying Only for a little while The ground is rushing towards him But he never sees it there Lives his life in pieces Always taking every dare What will be the ending Well i'm sure that i don't know The ground is getting closer Come and see the show See the show See the show See the show |

Can you see the future
Though it's well disguised Is the end so certain That you've closed your eyes Dark as the dark can be Beckons eternity Exits exist in life As they do on this night Now's not the time to sleep There are still nights to keep Chances are there to take Now it is time to Awaken Awaken Awaken Awaken Do you fear the future Do you fear the night Do you fear the morning's Unforgiving light Agony ecstasy There is no certainty Exits exist in life As they do in this night Now's not the time to sleep There are still nights to keep Chances are there to take Now it is time to Awaken Awaken Awaken Awaken Awaken Awaken Awaken Awaken |

Time
Standing all alone I bled for you I wanted to Each drop my own Slowly they depart But fall in vain Like desert rain And still they fall on and on and on Got to get back to a reason Got to get back to a reason i once knew And this late in the seasons One by one distractions fade from view So Drifting through the dark The sympathy Of night's mercy Inside my heart Is your life the same Do ghosts cry tears Do they feel years As time just goes on and on and on Got to get back to a reason Got to get back to a reason i once knew And this late in the seasons One by one distractions fade from view Years come around Men can be found Following orders Years come around Planning is sound Promises made Years come around Tears on the ground Blood stains the borders Leaders abound Chances are down No one's been saved Give me one reason For this dark treason Every chance unsaid Turn around All dead What went wrong [various international news reports] Give me one reason For this dark treason Every chance unsaid Turn around All dead What went wrong Drink until you drown What else can i say When you're falling down You seek the ground It's never far away Can you live your life Completely in a fall Until you're found Well underground Your marker very small As my world it keeps on spinning round Have to get away Have to ease the pain I embrace the morphine child And pump it in my veins Burning through my heart Fills in every hole Makes my mind so blissful numb And replaces my soul Every moment drags me further Down down down down down down ... Got to get back to a reason Got to get back to a reason i once knew And this late in the seasons One by one distractions fade from view The only reason i have left ... Is you |

[intro to Jesus saves spoken by the bum
"Hey, man, got a quarter? You ain't got nothin' that's ok man, that's ok. God bless you anyway. Here, I hope I didn't scare you or nothing like that. I, I ain't no bum or nothing like that. Yeah, I I use to live uptown once once before too you know. No, no, I did I did really. Use to come down here and look at all the characters. Never thought I'd be one of them though. Characters, man a lot of characters. He he, you got a minute, you got a minute, let me tell you a story about this friend of mine. D.T. Jesus use to stand for Down Town Jesus. He use to sell drugs and stuff down there, and they called him - that's why we use to call him DeTox. He was one character, one character that made it outa here. Let me tell you about him."] Jesus was a talker Just an out-of-place New Yorker He hung out on the boulevard He was sellin' nickel candies He was saving up all his quarters Bought himself a cheap guitar Started playin' bars Kids came in their cars Hear them shouting at the stage Jesus saves Jesus saves Yes he does Jesus saves You know Jesus he started changin' Things got really strange He saw his tee shirts everywhere He started missing shows The band came down to blows But Jesus he just didn't care Things got out of hand And so he quit the band Still the critics they would rave Jesus saves Jesus saves Yes he does Jesus saves So the dice were cast Today become the past Jesus just disappeared He was headed for New York Or so his little label thought And there he gave away the years Last seen drinking wine Beneath a flashing sign Promising salvation to strays Jesus saves Jesus saves Yes he does Jesus saves Hear him cut through the night On those late night radio waves Jesus saves Yes he does Jesus saves |

The night is growing dark From somewhere deep within It shelters like an ark That always takes you in The barmaid walks on over And pours another round For a lost soul at the corner Who prays he's never found And the mind goes numb Until it's feeling no pain And the soul cries out For a handful of rain Wash your women In your Whiskey When your future's In the past And your staring Up at heaven From the bottom Of a glass And you need some insulation From the years you've Had and lost And you feel the perspiration As you're adding up the cost And the night rolls on Like a slow moving train And the soul cries out There's a land beyond the living There's a land beyond the dead If it's true that God's forgiving Of the lives that we had led In the distance there's a thunder And the air is thick and warm And the patrons watch with wonder The approaching of the storm And the night rolls on Like a slow moving train And the soul cries out For a handful of rain There's an old man in the corner And he's smoking all the time An the smoke is drifting upward and it's Twisting in my Twisting in my Mind In my mind The whiskey's getting deeper And I use it like a moat There's a blues man in the distance and he's Lost inside his Note His note The night is growing dark From somewhere deep within It shelters like an ark That always takes you in And the night rolls on Like a slow moving train And the soul cries out For an handful of rain |
