Stay down! Like a shadow in a hallway
Watching all the blues and greens As I hide from the glare of the monitor screen Run fast! Like a shadow in a subway Try to remain unseen As I hide from the glare of the T.V. screen We're all sucked in Part of the core collective We're all dragged in Blind to the cause we've been selected for....Elected for Stand still! Like a ghost in the Firewall Watching all the blues and greens As I listen to the rhythm of the fax machine What will I be when winter comes again? And we're wrapped in furs, and life has begun again And it hurts to be away from you From the world you made so well What will I be when the summer comes once more? And we're naked and weak in the eye of the sun once more We're all sucked in 'Leave it on the net' demands the optimist 'No room for slaves to high tech reform' Maybe there's a way to save the pessimist He could make it to the hills and ride out the storm 'Formulas are set' declares the analyst 'This is the road for everyone' Maybe we can hide, continue to exist With a crate of bottled water and a sawn off shot gun Try to survive - Don't look into his eyes Try to stay alive - Don't look into his dead dead eyes You can send me codes From the safety of a chat room In your grey ether clothes I have looked into your soul Looked into your soul! I'm sitting with my head in the radiogram Waiting for some sign of a ghost or a little green man Glued to the glowing of a sun behind the plastic hood And the bass heavy tones That ooze from the pores in the wood Oh no.... I can't go there again Oh no..... Was this ever meant to be? I'm sitting on the floor with the book in my hand Dreaming of the world in a way that only children can And I listen for the emanating sounds from the hidden choirs The message in the radiant valves and red hot wires Oh no.... I can't go there again Oh no..... Was this ever meant to be? To think it has come to this Ruled by indifference Underlying waves of doubt Such arrogant self reliance Too far we have travelled out Nervous in our sentience Ordinary people Objects and events Now is a time of foolish fears Emotions run high and needless tears are shed He has the face of a friend And shall reach across the world into every home We invite him in and offer no defence And with every given soul he reaches for his throne He has the face of an Angel As he leads us in the dance Until we find ourselves......alone! So we're standing in the Moviedrome Staring at the shadows and the falling lights Prisoners forever in the Moviedrome Letting all the pictures be the Guide to our fragile lives Did we ever really learn? Did we never really learn? The human race has found it's own true home The dwelling places of these high tech lies The few that see the world beyond the Moviedrome Must march on through the wilderness Of fantasy, False images, And pride |

I've seen that face before
Demon eyes watch what an Angel once saw I've seen that face before Lying in shadows but hard to ignore No where to run No where to hide I've seen this place before A wilderness born from the torment of souls (Yes!) I've seen this place before A memory lost as the story unfolds No where to run No where to hide No where to run No where to hide ...."I will always find you!" We played this game before Counting no cost but keeping the score (Yes!) We played this game before Eyes to the front and backs to the wall I've stood right here before |

Creeping out into the night
Keep your hands outstretched and your eyes closed tightly Running out on your own Don't answer the door or the telephone This is no kind of a dream Not a blessing but a curse This is no illusion You've had them before - this isn't the first Reaching out - so cold! What did I say - did I do To lose my hold on you Everything you touch With your finger tips - Hurts so much There's a fallen wish it's shattered on the ground like a broken gift The Midas Vision Was always beating in your heart The foolish greed, the golden seed Is dragging out of the reason and tearing you apart! Reaching out - so cold! What did I say - did I do To lose my hold on you? Reaching out with all that I could give What should I say - should I do To make you.... Holding out, holding out your hands Open up, open up your eyes Is that the knock or the ringing of the bell Open the door to your own private hell. Reaching out - so cold! What did I say - did I do To lose my hold on you? Reaching out with all that I could give What should I say - should I do To make you live again? Reaching out - so cold! What did I say - did I do To lose my hold on you? Reaching out with all that I could give What should I say - should I do to make you live again? |

He waits in the dark for lives, misguided and wrecked
The catcher of innocent souls He's proud of his human collection Of losers who give up the chase Of winners who fail to look round He creeps up behind the fallen and blind They're gone! With hardly a sound 'Save me - somebody reach out a hand Save me from eternity caught in the grip of The Butterfly Man' He waits in the dark for the scent of anger or hate He hides behind ignorance And it's never for long that he has to wait A gentle caress Is enough before fear takes a hold The warning signs come far too late By then he'll have captured your soul 'Save me - somebody reach out a hand Save me from the agony caught in the grip of The Butterfly Man' 'Save me - somebody reach out a hand Save me from eternity caught in the grip of The Butterfly Man' 'I've been here for so long Don't even know what my purpose ever was I don't even know where I belong Through the years I've been waiting Even time has lost it's meaning Don't even know where I belong' 'Can't ever turn from this path Don't even know what alternatives there are Perhaps I wandered too far I've been here for so long Don't even hope for an end to all of this I have no choice, but to carry on' There you are fighting to escape from the womb Dying in the snares of your chosen beliefs Were you not set free far too soon? There you are bathing in the warmth of creation Drowning in the blood of your chosen beliefs Prisoners of fate Living in a state of sedation 'Save me - somebody reach out a hand 'Save me - somebody reach out a hand Save me from eternity caught in the grip of The Butterfly Man' He waits in the dark The catcher of elegant souls Extravagant souls Belligerent souls He waits in the dark His arms open wide Never too short Never too tall He'll take them all |

Walk along the waterfall
Watching as the world turns red Wonder where the river flows And the blood on the river bed Poison lies too close to us Reach across the salt and sand Moving deeper into the land Following the waterfall Watching as the world turns green Wonder where the river flows The copper face remains unseen Ignorance has failed to cleanse Reach across the salt and sand Moving deeper into the land Crying as the earth cries out Weeping as the land decays Wonder if I could have helped Maybe I'd have found a way Poison lies too close to us Reach across the salt and sand Moving deeper into the land Cling to the branch of a tree That was waiting for Something to preach Someone to teach The Word was the first And the last to be heard From the branch of the tree It was praying for me to fall down Climb to the top of a tree That was waiting for Someone to warn A life to be torn into Pieces of gold For a soul to be sold And the heart of the tree Was crying for me to come back Take me to the hanging tree There's a man in the light And he's pointing at me Guide me to the hanging tree It's the place that I come from Walk along the waterline Reach across the salt and the sand Moving deeper into the land Take me to the hanging tree There's a boy in the light And he's staring at me Take me to the hanging tree It's the place that I come from Walk along the waterline Reach across the salt and the sand Moving deeper into the land I'm falling.....Falling down again! |

Thinly veiled, a cruel disguise
Vengeance lies behind these eyes Glaring from the pulpit As the Fallen Angels follow me Plageristic sermons Hiding voyeuristic undertones Foolishly they will embrace And ignorant they follow me You've never truly known The kind of place that I come from You turned your back on all the signs That bore the words of warning Come to me my simple child Tear apart your innocence Pray with me beloved son And I will help you find a way Think before you throw yourself Upon the tables and the merchant s Are you sure this temple Isn't just another cruel perversion? You've never truly known The kind of place that I come from You turned your back on all the signs That bore the words of warning Don't look for comfort in this house of mine Don't ask for mercy at my image or my shrine Don't seek forgiveness at this house of mine Don't build a temple here And wait for me to walk into the fire I will make this promise now A simple thing, a sacred vow Come with me my pretty Angel I will show you how to fly We will fall together Into unforgiving night we plunge! Chained by sin and clothed by guilt We will be as one forever Don't look for comfort in this house of mine Don't ask for mercy at my image or my shrine Don't look for comfort in this house of mine Don't break the Holy bread or drink the Holy wine Don't seek forgiveness at this house of mine Don't build a temple here And wait for me to walk into the fire |

Something on the edge of this place
Something on the edge of my mind Getting closer to me Growing stronger in me all the time The young foretell a life ahead The old look back on a life that's been led But I - I see nothing Got too much sand across my head Sit there waiting for the phone to ring Hopes in the attic, tied up with string On a top shelf, bottom drawer Any place I could ignore The falling of this hero No! Don't let the child die here Don't let the child die here Don't let his life just fade away Don't let the child die.... I made a promise - my soul laid bare Signed and sealed on a wing, on a prayer But thrown to the darkness It lies beyond repair This solemn oath I swore to you Has been neglected and unused In a back room, not on show Anywhere just not to know The falling of this hero No! Don't let the child die here Don't let the child die here Don't let his life just fade away Don't let the child die.... |

Help me, help me.........help me
Let us share this hope That we may close our eyes in peace Follow what may rise from this Standing in the halls of grace Let my people go Was the cry I heard from far away I should have known Not to trust every word I heard them say Help me, help me.........help me There's a face I can see Staring back in desperation Nowhere to turn to now Drowning in this sea of fate Don't run! Don't hide! The devil will find you anywhere We should never have lied The sin was always there Help me, help me.........help me This choice must be free Answers do not grow on trees We must face our enemies With faith in one another Don't fall down! Don't lie down! You can lean on me my friend The future may not bring us luck But together we can go down fighting! Help me, help me.........help me Help me, help me.........help me |

Take a leap of faith if you want to find out!
We live amongst you In the guise of the mortal men You'll never see us in the crowd We only look towards What purpose we've been sent And wait until the time is now Take a leap of faith if you want to find out Better hold on tight if you want to know how Take a leap of faith if you want to find out You have been chosen! Imagine you can tell us all apart From prophecy or old wives tales Or from the warnings of a singular birthmark But these are merely all false trails Wisdom spat from the whirling chair Shaking the bars when they stop and stare at me Take a leap of faith if you want to find out Better hold on tight if you want to know how Take a leap of faith if you want to find out You have been chosen....Now! The faceless followers knelt in prayer Near Whited sepulchres and lightly coded software Freedom of speech - But we have no voice Freedom of spirit - But we have no choice Given no help - To meet these demands Given no help - It's out of our hands Never turn around never look behind Got to turn the water into wine Take a leap of faith if you want to find out Better hold on tight if you want to know how Take a leap of faith if you want to find out You have been chosen....Now! |

What I dream tonight may rest with me
Till morning comes again From the truth comes light We're vulnerable, as we shelter from the rain This is a place where all I touch May not be as it seems When I close my eyes I pray that you May shield me from this pain Hidden from my sight So dangerous, as we shelter from the rain This is a place where all I touch May not be as it seems And still we go on waiting for Friday's Dream It's a world that's far away From the sound of people calling 'free me from these chains' It's a moment of escape As the blood of fallen angels scars the earth Tearing at the innocent once more What I dream tonight may rest with me Till morning comes again Weakened by our doubts We cling to this as we shelter from the rain It's a world that's far away From the sound of people calling 'free me from these chains' It's a moment of escape As the blood of fallen angels scars the earth Tearing at the innocent once more It's a world that's far away From the sound of people calling 'free me from these chains' It's a moment of escape As the blood of fallen angels scars the earth Burns the earth Tearing at the innocent once more When I close my eyes I pray we'll find A shelter from the rain What I dream tonight may rest with me Till morning comes Till morning comes and I wake up |
