there's a blind desire there's a drive
there's a need to leave some lasting feat something to hold, something to keep a monument to complete there's a written page there's a book there's a search for something to say something to share, something to speak a monument to convey is it fiction, is it confession is it passion or just a profession is it performance, is it expression is it passion or just an obsession there's a photograph there's a frame there's a time, a moment to confine something to save, something to see a monument to enshrine is it performance, is it expression is it passion or just a profession is it fiction, is it confession is it passion or just an obsession there's an empty room there's a blank page there's a picture left incomplete something is lost, something remains a monument to defeat is it fiction, is it confession is it passion or just a profession is it performance, is it expression is it passion or just an obsession |

When the stars are right and you're alone
Take a journey, lock the world tight Out of your mind. The hall beckons your presence, the doors Open wide you're to decide to turn back. Deep the bowels of this black abyss. Compelled I just can't resist it, take me Take me away take me away I wanna know what's deep within Take me away Drawing near someone passes through me, A silent entity never looking back I won't dare Evil eyes staring through he walls of stone As I feared I travel not alone. Laughter's echoes with the blatant wind I have passed the threshold deep within me A voice of thunder said turn back Tabernacle is forbidden No mortal dares to enter here I want to know Flame is burning center of a fountain yearning, waters Spring eternal, spiritual water physical fire Above center is sky, cold neverness Just vastness filled with stars upon stars In the four corners of life are the golden mirrors Reflecting what you are and what you are to be In the first is a young boy white dove in His hand, in the second is a warrior in armor In the third is the old man gold watch In his hand fourth and last No reflection at all No reflection at all No reflection at all Waters rise toward physical fire, voice says Tabernacle is forbidden never looking back I don't dare If the water touches the flame Forever in darkness yes I'll remain. White dove flies from the young boys hand Through the mirror of the old man, only way out |

We're walking within a shadow
where echoes of different times resound looking for memories to relive in yesterdays that can't be found. Through different eyes we keep looking for what we lack. Changing minds take us away, and you can't go back. And staring into ageless eyes that shared secrets too dark for light we're searching for old bonds in places that lie forever out of sight Through different eyes we keep looking for what we lack. Changing minds take us away, and you can't go back to different times or ageless eyes, free from sorrow. Changing hearts will hide the past from tomorrow. Through different eyes we try to find people and places we've left behind. |

Look to sunrise man tell me what you see
The eagle has flown underground abandoned You abonded me Fifty two falling stars are burning up the sky Blazing torch falls to the ocean bottom where black predictions lie have you faith in scripture visions of kings Reaper of reality your destiny the sisters sing Vultures scavenge the subsconsious of your mind Their ally is time for you to fall and yield Your mind to the cynic They should be held so high and not looked down upon They are the root of the country. The roots so firm and tranquil, when will the spirits be welcomed, listen the music is heard again. When there are lofty high roof tops carved walls and yielding crops When the palace is wild for lusting. When the forest if wild for hunting. Existance of anyone thing has never been but the prelude to ruin Wars and temper tantrums are the make- shifts of ignorance Regrets illuminate to late. Depth beyond sin is fathomed Wandering through the devils field sowing his seed Guardian angel guide us through the night we compel His long constant fight. the moerea they call your destiny the sisters all of three. Clotho she spun the web to live the thread so tentative. Lachesis she measured out the years. Atropos cuts the thread with her shears. Time Time Time an imaginary line mine not yours nor yours mine They lead the blind back to mothers womb tomb of the unborn child Coming events cast their shadows before wintery wind the eye of the storm witness the past the future Holds more prelude to ruin |

From sleeping visions
Daily were torn In waking hours Hopes our forlorn. Is all we do and all we dream Doomed to drown in a hopeless stream? Wishing life were made of lasting visions In eternal sleep And if that rest were filled with sorrow Still we'd sleep. In the madness of a silent eternity We'd find solace in False visions that protect us From reality. Enter ivory gates through midnight skies Daylight dreamers in private parades Perform before perpetual dawn As dusk engulfs the gate of horn. Ivory towers appear beyond the gate Invisible fortresses of escape Traversed by ramparts made of hopes and fears Impervious to reality. |

I saw YOU once again last night
through a sea of sullen faces admiring eyes following the path that the spotlight traces eye to eye and the miles still divide eye to eye what was it YOU saw last night when YOU gave yourself to me was it the thread of a common bond or the touch of cold reality eye to eye and the miles still divide we can move each other to tears but we can't see eye to eye and the miles still divide each of us alone in silence when we meet eye to eye all we can really share is the coldness we feel and the silent memory of the moment we met eye to eye and the miles still divide we can move each other to tears but we can't see eye to eye and the miles still divide each of us alone in silence when we meet eye to eye and the miles still divide we can move each other to tears but we can't see eye to eye |

These walls are stained engraved with pain
You will find them under shadows casting shame Some it's all they'll ever know, Angels of the fortunate sons come and go ... You may not Entities pass in the night Guardians and the Reaper fight the will to live shall win Mares of hope ride through their dreams blinding light awakens sleeping dawn it seems It was all a dream endless dream I will wish upon a star I believe in you And if my will has strayed afar I rememebered you Will you remember me I the one you sentenced Pennance unabsolved Answer me save my will have you forgotten me Pace the hallway blindman for a million miles of stars His mind has seen. think you may he lives in darkness We're the dark he's seen the light of dream Karen's been asleep forever I know she hears me She has so much to say, Machine shoots sparks through face Unto my hand, unto my heart I'm a fire without a flame helpless child without a name With broken wings catch me I'm falling I'm a question with no answer who are you that takes my life away from me unveil the bondaries of the black I had a dream I was you strong as the fire In your veins then when I called out your Name I would remain and witness the pain I am beyond silent black I will be back As your guardian Angels in white you have sacrificed witness and bury the pain Walk hand and hand with the fear stricken child Strengthen the weak and the lame pillar of pennance and lore Perpetual journey into the realm the sovereign servitor |

Born to an air of apathy Indifference shapes a fragile mind Questions formed at an early age Beg answers unasked Silent cries Behind curious eyes resides A child who cannot speak Silent cries Years find a mind alone whose Questions flow too deep for words Covered in a shroud of silence Watching the world go by Silent cries Behind outcast eyes, hides A child who cannot speak Silent cries Time blindly races on Toward the autumn years Seasons unheeded pass While we all drown in tears Questions unanswered remain Alone they mourn a fragile mind Silent cries Behind lifeless eyes, lies A child who cannot speak Silent cries Silent cries |

today was the end of a dream
as I watched your shadow disappear another moment for the memory as we lose another year thought I heard You call my name but YOU only said goodbye always somewhere we only say goodbye going nowhere we only say goodbye there's never time to say all the things we need to say when it's too late we can only say goodbye tonight I felt your presence again as we shared the sorrow we've always known but I heard the distance in your voice and I knew I was alone tried to tell YOU my deepest thoughts but I only said goodbye always somewhere we only say goodbye going nowhere we only say goodbye there's never time to say all the things we need to say when it's too late we can only say goodbye across the miles both of us reaching we try but it's so hard to touch when we only say goodbye always somewhere we only say goodbye going nowhere we only say goodbye there's never time to say all the things we need to say when it's too late we can only say goodbye always somewhere we only say goodbye going nowhere we only say goodbye there's never time to say all the things we need to say... |

Thousands of years,
before the dawn of history. Ancient races tears, are flowing like a river to the sea. Where sacred river ran, white deer had roamed the land, brilliant twilight in our dreams. Primitive child, your unforgotten tribe calls to you. Descendants we are one, the tangled maze is broken once again. A myth without a meaning, you shade the light from the seed. The earth and virgin soil watch it bleed. The earth and virgin soil. Red, white, black, in city masses, corporate buildings spread like rashes, stacked upon each other forty high. Stabbed each other in the back, you money-hungry maniacs, dig up the earth and spit it in your eye. To intrude this sacred land, where the mortals have been banned, where your own forefathers lie in rest. To disturb this mountain side, where in battle we did ride, and our warriors where they lie, the earth digest. Hear our cry from down below, let our restive spirits go. You've trapped us in your world of sin, let the plague begin, Damnation. Your cities disappear, to earth's interior, don't you know you've got to let your spirits go, let 'em go. You've got to let those spirits go. Let 'em go! You've got to let your spirit go. |

I thought I reached the final stage,
Time enough now to catch my breath. Holding on to each fleeting moment, Until the winds of change come blowing through. And all the things I Thought I needed Go sailing out of you. I thought I reached a new beginning; Faint, distant glow on the horizon. Holding on to the promise of the day, Until the sunset hides sea from shore. And all the things I Thought I needed Don't mean much anymore. Circles within circles, Hoping one more turn Will bring us to the end. When truth and fiction finally meet, We find again New beginnings become old ends. Circles within circles, Hoping one more turn Will bring us to the end. When the circles complete, We find ourselves Starting all over again. Too many things left undone, Too late to turn back, I can change course before the end, But when all is said and done, All I really want is a chance To start again. Circles within circles, Hoping one more turn Will bring us the end. When truth and fiction finally meet, We find again New beginnings become old ends. Circles within circles, Hoping one more turn Will bring us to the end. When the circles complete, We find ourselves Starting all over again. |

I know its getting late
But I feel I need, I need to explain All the laughter and the lies Can't stay the fear or hide the pain Somewhere along the way We exchanged our dreams for selfish pride There was a common goal But somehow that vision has died Is it so hard to understand The facts that you ignore And we've grown so tired of trying Wasting our time criticizing And nothing's easy anymore Nothing's easy anymore Is it too late to understand The writing that's on the walls While we watch time slip through our hands We're deaf to our own demands When the eleventh hour calls The eleventh hour calls And nothing's easy anymore When the eleventh hour calls The eleventh hour calls I know it's getting late But I feel I need, I need to explain |
