From the first to stand on the fields of Waterloo
Through the two world wars and landing on the moon The search to find forgiveness and to bury all my shame Got to let this burden go, got to shoulder all the blame One day, I will lie down And rest here forever Till then my heart beats ? heart beats! I'm here to stay - Till the Martians land on London Town Won't fade away - Till the science world takes cancer down I'm here to stay - Till they synthesise the ozone layer Won't fade away - Going to hold out for an answer to my prayers They fall at the hands of dark corruption From saintly deeds to poisonous intentions Living with remorse on Purgatory Road Keeping me alive ? watch the evil grow One day, I will lie down And sleep here I'm here to stay - Till the Martians land on London Town Won't fade away - Till the science world takes cancer down I'm here to stay - Till they synthesise the ozone layer Won't fade away - Going to hold out for an answer to my prayers I'm here to stay - Till the Martians land on London Town Won't fade away - Till the science world takes cancer down I'm here to stay - Till they synthesise the ozone layer Won't fade away - Going to follow all my prayers I'm here to stay - Till humans walk the ocean floor Won't fade away - Till man can find an end to war I'm here to stay - Till the polar caps freeze up again Won't fade away - Going to hold out for an answer to my prayers |

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 |

Hollow words and promises Bow down in servitude before this throne Medusa! You always know my weaknesses Only with a heart of anger Could you freeze the lifeblood in my veins Only with a heart of anger Could you bleed the strength, put out the flame Poisoned by your belladonna kiss I am trapped in the web I am drowning in the bitterness and all that I can pray Is that I die in your embrace again Medusa! Hollow words and promises Bow down in servitude before this throne Medusa! You always know my weaknesses I turn to stone All I need is a bloodstained jewel Or a poisonous flower All I yearn for is the siren's cry Or the torment and endurance in the final hour Medusa!

Scooping the moon from a starlit pool
It ripples and breaks into luminous jewels And shards of light float through the night Moonbeams of magic shining like eyes Shooting the breeze as the clouds roll by A face in the rain and a voice in the sky Showering wisdom like newly formed pearls That fall to the ground in this innocent world Here in this Darkest House - Living with these ancient wounds Here in this Darkest House - Trapped inside those shattered rooms So many lies - blighted ambitions Caught in a race - a certain collision Stumbling over the paths of depression Too scared to search for the answers to questions Lost in this Darkest House ? Living with these ancient wounds Lost in this Darkest House ? Trapped inside those shattered rooms Hide brother hide ? Veiled in disguises Circle of spies - Fighting for the highest prize Offer a culture - Must now divide them Melt into every crowd - Bringing our defences down Lost in this Darkest House - Living with these ancient wounds Lost in this Darkest House - Trapped inside those shattered rooms I see the shadow of this lupine condition Howling in the mountains with a wolverine heart He's always running from this state of aggression Given half a chance he can tear you apart No mercy for you! No sleep for the doomed! I see the shadow of a vampire's obsession Eternity's a curse that will drive him insane A life of guilt and such violent confession Don't look away; he'll drain the last drop of blood from your veins Lost in this Dark House ? Watch your back and stay awake Lost in this Dark House ? Sleep would be a cruel mistake Lost in this Dark House - living with these ancient wounds Lost in this Dark House - Trapped inside these cold and shattered rooms Lost in this Darkest House - Lost in this Darkest House Living with these ancient wounds - Trapped inside these cold and shattered rooms |

Crawling through the poison pool
Hiding eyes with bleeding hands Every step another fool Kings and Queens of sand Over there an angry god Violent brow and negligence Making waves that can't be stopped Unafraid of consequence Chosen faith's a lottery Heaven sent down forgeries Miracles and travesties Irreligion sows that seed Staring through the Judas Hole See what I can see? Every covenant of souls Drum roll payments paid to me... Bethlehem to Bedlam Fayre - No one helps, no one cares! Let the people mock and stare - See them run around, around, around This place - So far gone Darker than hell - A stagnant field of dreams That face - Speaks to me So much to say - But nothing's what it seems You're only human - Just mortal to me You're only human ? Just an earthbound disease! Those eyes ? Madness reigns Acid tears ? A constant stream of pain That life ? wasted here Nothing left ? No mourners, no name You're only human - Just mortal to me You're only human ? Just an earthbound disease! Bethlehem to Bedlam Fayre - No one helps, no one cares! Let the people mock and stare - See them run around, around, around Bethlehem to Bedlam Fayre - No one helps, no one cares! Let the people mock and stare - See them run around, around, around Bethlehem to Bedlam Fayre - No one helps, no one cares! Let the people mock and stare - See them run around, around, around |

Dead calm
Raining all over me Too late Sense of mortality Dark skies Threaten to swallow me Down to the flame While my flesh and my bone melt away I defy you to stand on the crack in the ice With the power of your hand On the crack in the ice Men Raped and discarded Are left dead The vultures will feed on them Lost cause Tearing this life apart Thrown to the flame While my flesh and my bone melt away I defy you to stand on the crack in the ice With the power of your hand On the crack in the ice Take this moment so close to my heart You held the white rose out Just before we parted Take this moment so far away in dreams I can feel the thorns bite But the flower died, it seems Hold this feeling so close to my heart You brought the passion out Just before we parted Hold this feeling so far away in dreams I can feel the thorns bite But the flower starts to bleed I defy you to stand on the crack in the ice With the power of your hand On the crack in the ice |

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? |

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 |

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! |

Knowing what I know
I'm never free to come and go But when I try to open doors I burn when daylight hits the floor Playing the skin game Breathing the blue flame Playing the skin game In sight, insane Knowing what I know I've been looking for a space to grow And maybe I can set you free Yes maybe I can set you free Playing the skin game Breathing the blue flame Playing the skin game In sight, insane I'm content to live in the vacuum I have made A comfortable existence on my own The problems of the world are there for others to debate I prefer to face my days alone! Kneeling down before I sleep Never said a prayer that I believed One day you'll understand Why have I become this way? Maybe it's another quirk of fate Yielding to my DNA Try to live on my own Reborn once more as a whisper on the telephone Unafraid of it all Every thought, every dream, I will call! I will call! Now I'm living alone And all I am is a whisper on the telephone Making sense of it all Every thought, every dream, I will call! I will call! |

Pouring fuel across the fire
Let the flesh evaporate I can hear it in their crazy voices They're opening the floodgates Shout loud that burning mantra With the confidence of fools Let it be me Who sets you free! Exile! You show no mercy You're living in a mindless state Exile! You've crossed the line this time You've thrown it all away And you can drag this new pariah down Till the lifeless body breaks I can see it in their angry faces They're opening the floodgates Shout loud that burning mantra With the unity of fear Let it be me Who sets you free! Exile! You show no mercy You're living in a mindless state Exile! You've crossed the line this time You've thrown it all away Exile! You show no mercy You're living in a mindless state Exile! You've crossed the line this time You've thrown it all away |

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.... |

In the distance
Hidden from sight - patiently Waiting for me Part of the night - enemy mine This horizon Darkness and light - opposites Drawn together, one forever Wrong and the right - enemy mine Now is the time to decide Don't answer me with the same old questions Don't patronise with those tired old solutions I've heard these before, I've been here before Don't pay me back with the same old deceptions Don't give me facts and predictable suggestions I've heard these before, I've been here before Then you're screaming all the time You don't listen any more When you threw out the hope with the dustbin liners You were standing alone with your coat of kindness Covered in mud - it was soaked in my blood When you fed me to the lions in your personal arena And you watched till the cries and the prayers grew weaker Head in my hands - Dripping tears in the sand The roar of the lions As the victim lies damned and alone When agony comes more from hope than failure Look further than your preconceptions, expectations Where the power of the mind can take you out beyond this reach Higher than the dull and simple world you know so well Back to paradise... Who keeps the child - Tell me which is the mother? The need in her eye, and the eyes of the other and I've seen this before, I've been here before Cut the child in half, give a piece to each woman A desperate chance, the last hope has fallen Just like before, I've felt this before And the gurgles of laughter are echoes once more in my heart So I lie down in my mothers arms And I cry in my mothers arms, praying Praying for the end to come A friend to come and rescue me - right now So I listen to my mother's voice And I listen to the Only choice she had to make Living fear cold and naked Throw me away? Don't throw me away "Take the child - it's yours!" Was the only thing she could have said Does it matter to you? In the lion's cage we're all the same Does it matter to you? It's a child's game with a child's name Does it matter to you? If I place the blame upon your shoulders Don't try to fool the world Don't try to rule the world again Throw away my life in the fireplace With the old love letters And the Nottingham laces; Trying to forget the warm embraces Video suppers and the funny faces Does it matter to you? Does it matter to you? Does it matter to you? Does it matter at all? |

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 |

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 |

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 |

From the first to stand on the fields of Waterloo
Through the two world wars and landing on the moon The search to find forgiveness and to bury all my shame Got to let this burden go, got to shoulder all the blame One day, I will lie down And rest here forever Till then my heart beats ? heart beats! I'm here to stay - Till the Martians land on London Town Won't fade away - Till the science world takes cancer down I'm here to stay - Till they synthesise the ozone layer Won't fade away - Going to hold out for an answer to my prayers They fall at the hands of dark corruption From saintly deeds to poisonous intentions Living with remorse on Purgatory Road Keeping me alive ? watch the evil grow One day, I will lie down And sleep here I'm here to stay - Till the Martians land on London Town Won't fade away - Till the science world takes cancer down I'm here to stay - Till they synthesise the ozone layer Won't fade away - Going to hold out for an answer to my prayers I'm here to stay - Till the Martians land on London Town Won't fade away - Till the science world takes cancer down I'm here to stay - Till they synthesise the ozone layer Won't fade away - Going to follow all my prayers I'm here to stay - Till humans walk the ocean floor Won't fade away - Till man can find an end to war I'm here to stay - Till the polar caps freeze up again Won't fade away - Going to hold out for an answer to my prayers |

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 |

Scooping the moon from a starlit pool
It ripples and breaks into luminous jewels And shards of light float through the night Moonbeams of magic shining like eyes Shooting the breeze as the clouds roll by A face in the rain and a voice in the sky Showering wisdom like newly formed pearls That fall to the ground in this innocent world Here in this Darkest House - Living with these ancient wounds Here in this Darkest House - Trapped inside those shattered rooms So many lies - blighted ambitions Caught in a race - a certain collision Stumbling over the paths of depression Too scared to search for the answers to questions Lost in this Darkest House ? Living with these ancient wounds Lost in this Darkest House ? Trapped inside those shattered rooms Hide brother hide ? Veiled in disguises Circle of spies - Fighting for the highest prize Offer a culture - Must now divide them Melt into every crowd - Bringing our defences down Lost in this Darkest House - Living with these ancient wounds Lost in this Darkest House - Trapped inside those shattered rooms I see the shadow of this lupine condition Howling in the mountains with a wolverine heart He's always running from this state of aggression Given half a chance he can tear you apart No mercy for you! No sleep for the doomed! I see the shadow of a vampire's obsession Eternity's a curse that will drive him insane A life of guilt and such violent confession Don't look away; he'll drain the last drop of blood from your veins Lost in this Dark House ? Watch your back and stay awake Lost in this Dark House ? Sleep would be a cruel mistake Lost in this Dark House - living with these ancient wounds Lost in this Dark House - Trapped inside these cold and shattered rooms Lost in this Darkest House - Lost in this Darkest House Living with these ancient wounds - Trapped inside these cold and shattered rooms |
