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! |

Many times this world has been my playground
An endless field of images, not too profound I let you read between the lines, if you think you can Part of someone's grand design of Sainthood, childhood....Slipping through our fingers.... There it is in black and white for you to shout out loud But all those empty promises just sow more seeds of doubt Let my vision smother you in heartache It freezes like the venom from a rattlesnake It really doesn't matter now, the end will be the same It really doesn't matter how the world will rise again There's nothing you can do to stop the river flowing blood The betting man has played his hand He's waiting.....waiting Look for me in everything material live and breathe philosophy and spiritual escape You'll find me in the films and in the theatres Through the minds of novelists and orators It really doesn't matter now, the end will be the same It really doesn't matter how the world will rise again There's nothing you can do to stop the river flowing blood The betting man has played his hand He's waiting for the flood You walked with me before, you know We crossed this land before, you know You talked with me before, you know You held my hand before, you know It really doesn't matter now, the end will be the same It really doesn't matter how the world will rise again There's nothing you can do to stop the river flowing blood The betting man has played and we're just Waiting for the flood You followed me too far and it's too late to turn around You followed me too far to stop the world from being drowned There's nothing you can do to stop the river flowing blood The betting man has played and we're just Waiting for the flood |

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 |

Look for me here
It's blacker than the night Look for me here But don't throw me in the light Keep me on the inside A part of the team Keep me on the inside I don't care what that means Oh - Like the ghost in the Firewall Oh - Like a virus in the system Oh - Like the ghost in the Firewall Let me in Let me fade away Look for me here My name is Legion Look for me here We are many - we are one Keep me on the inside Lost in the crowd Keep me on the inside Don't try to force me out Oh - Like the ghost in the Firewall Oh - Like a virus in the system Oh - Like the ghost in the Firewall Let me in Let me fade away Let me in Let me fade away Let me fade away |

I can see the other side
Keeping my head bowed down I can see them all around Dead staring eyes Donning their Ascension robes Waiting for the time Shouting down below 'I told you once before - I told you so!' Got to build a tower Need a better line of sight We're climbing up the net We're reaching for the sky Got to keep on rising Take a ray of burning light We're climbing up the net - through the sky I can see the other side Try to keep a hold Take the rollercoaster ride On some binary code Speaking in a single tongue Think a single thought Touching everyone Reaching out - we've been here before Do I join in the race, keep my enemies near? Am I forced to embrace this modern veneer? Will I ever break free from this house of cards? The truth is the victim - it was dead from the start! Got to keep on rising Take a ray of burning light Got to keep on rising We're climbing - We're climbing up the net We're climbing - We're reaching for the sky We're climbing - We're climbing up the net We're climbing - We're reaching for the sky We're climbing up the net A ray of burning light A better line of sight We're reaching for the sky We're climbing up the net A ray of burning light A better line of sight We're reaching for the sky |

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 |

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 |
