Hiding in fear Such abnormality Close your eyes now, say a prayer Memories, a punishment so real They played their cold and isolated games Games, that wicked children played They made you feel afraid Paralysed, a child's imagination Lost You're caught inside a spell Subconsciously afraid The answer lies, behind the tears Fight Don't hide away you're strong Enough to face the truth Which hides behind, behind the tears Reality, it comes in shapes and forms Concentration, chase those fears away Thought a power, the power to be free Think positive the pain will disappear |

Responsibility and blame, tall orders made Affecting the lives of your friends, for whom you care Serious doubts within A nightmarish tale look what you've done A sacrifice means many things Determined you won't give in The answer is loud and clear Against all the odds you're determined to win A simple solution exists Such loyalty and trust you gave To all your friends Impossibilities, this task you face Solutions for everyone The perfect resolve can it be found Loyalty and trust, both you gave Simplicity a saving grace, as clear as day Don't be cruel to be kind, just change your ways Searching your soul inside Your nightmarish tale has finally gone |

What you see you must not touch, what you see What you want you cannot have, what you want As Adam plucked the apple from the tree he never realised A chemical and biological attraction, came to be Consummate, your one desire Physically connect as one To copulate, will quench the fire Burning fiercely in the soul and mind What you want You know you can't touch What you see You know you can't have What you need It's just what you feel What you can't have You want more and more Once you've had a taste you're hypnotized Forbidden fruit resist the call An appetite, to self-indulge Keep's growing stronger by the day Your self-control, you're bound to lose If you continue in this feverish way Once you've had a taste you're hypnotized Forbidden fruit resist the call Don't be drawn into it's sweet desires Forbidden fruit can change it's form Everything is spiritual, everything has a spirit, everything is brought to you by the creator As Adam plucked the apple from the tree he never realised A chemical and biological attraction, came to be Why, why did man create all of these things? |

Known well and favoured There's no limit to his charm This illusive adversary, unforeseeable consequences Absurd behaviour, a macabre like frame of mind Living for the moment, not a care in the world Excuses one and more... proclamations he'll make You must, beware... a hand and arm he'll take ...He'll disregard us all Though in thee we trust Lead us not to temptation Help us one and all In the company of a force majeure Lead us, lead us not... beyond the realms of our salvation No sacrifice is more... than following a force majeure Each vow is broken, it's a total waste of life An urge to lead us on, irresistible strange compulsions Euphoric notions, superior in kind So irresponsible, for the fun of it all |

Crystal drops of rain I make a wish and hope... to die Is such a feeling very strange I'm living my life On borrowed time In this weird existence I'm not afraid I'm gettin' ready to stand in line An' I believe, there's no disgrace In wanting more, than just this plain old life An' I believe, beyond this time and space Well it's crystal clear, what life is all about As futile as it seems I'm never losing sight Of how important life can be So I embrace the test of time And gaze up to the stars Waiting for my turn to come... my other life I believe, there's no disgrace In wanting more, than just a plain old life In wanting more, than just an ordinary life An' I believe, beyond this time and space I believe, time and space Well it's crystal clear, what life is all about |

D'you ever get the feeling that, you're never welcome You walked into a place feel the atmosphere change My body's trembling, I sense a presence strange within A ghostly silence, a place for the living dead Icehouse... a sanctuary for strangers Where evil's waiting Icehouse... your darkest secrets are known In this icehouse... a pure demoralization A cold frustration Icehouse... darkness glows No sign of life, the air you breathe is thick and frozen A shallow grave awaits, a home for the living dead Don't venture in, you'll just regret this sight appalling It feeds on frightened souls, the lost and the weak of heart |

Wait a minute, hold your horses there What's the rush now, take your time Easy does it, the hours the seconds they They last forever, an infinity of time Each day and forever, endlessly the same Nothing ever happens worth, mentioning again Significantly quiet as always It's all we wanna do, we're killing time Killing time There's nothing else we'd rather do Rather do Than killing time (Just Killing Time) Late a minute, an hour a perfect time It doesn't matter now, take a while Easy does it, don't have a heart attack The brain keeps warning us, messages of kind Patience is virtue, at least that's what they say What's the point in hurrying, take it day by day There's time enough to get things done |

On the surface things look different What's underneath you cannot tell For years it seems that everything is going well Behind the laughter hides a mystery Shrouded in a friendly veil The moment when you're making progress All things fail A challenge to be solved, they can't resist The chase Their masquerade This dangerous path you're on, what if your instinct's wrong Beware the wrath of a patient man Danger, danger Danger Lies Close beside, close beside you Danger, danger, close beside Waiting to take you away What we perceive as being normal A twisted mind won't stipulate To occupy their genius a masquerade Way down a no-where road you're drifting Into a no-where place you'll stay Make a wish pray someone's listening, night and day |

An' through the mist I see, an image standing there But do my eyes deceive me I'm seeing what I see, what is reality It's just a game The great charade, which we play Are we here, to pick out the clues Opposites they always meet... try to focus try to see Nothing here is what it seems.. in this world, nothing's real Try to focus try to see... where opposites always meet Nothing in this world is real... nothing here is what it seems A concept so surreal, this abstract world in view With no beginning or ending Our rationality, we think therefore we are If it's a game, who makes the rules An' now the mist has cleared, thyn eyes the truth they see Beneath the mysteries, the magic Our future is in our hands, if we are who we are The choice is ours, if we choose |

I watched your face a million times.
It shows the invitation that I can't refuse. Win or loose. Head in noose. Trapped each day. [Bridge:] I looked for possibilities to change course of destiny. Not one thing I tried, fill me up inside. So now I say.. [Chorus:] I will always be with you. Close be hand,day by day. I'll be always beside you. Till the morning comes, till the morning comes our way. I watched you grow from black to white. Enlightened by your message inside. Only fools, Play by rules. So mow I see,what's to hide. |

I walked this road a million times.
Each time a new direction. Who's the one that's pushed aside? Who needs you anyway, It's not like you make things happen. You decisive sting decides. You ran my face into a wall of endlessly denial. Tell me what you're living for. You'll bleed, not me. So when your heart is falling don't come knocking on my door. [Bridge:] You.Mind is defeat. You.Mind is defeat. Well not for me. [Chorus:] If the time should come,grow some scene. Clean up your act. With the axe about to fall, down on as all. You spoke of love a million times, But one thing is better. Cut me from your line. Who needs you anyway, It's not like you make things happen. I'm not blind. |

All my life, wandering around in a strange kind of motion
Square one, back at the end So strong, I always though it's a scaled way of living Out of the blue, there she was Love on the rescue I crossed the line, to end my... False vision, submission to passion crime I crossed the line, to find my... My angel, my Eden, my place in time In my life, the story of love had the worst kind of ending But now it feels so right (love showed its light) All my life, wandered around in a strange kind of motion Square one, there is no end... Don't let it end |

The moment has come for the undertakers.
Don't look at the faces now, Chances are renewed by our loss. Vultures appeared out of vivid friendship. Gliding the wind, dying to win, What the other lost must be found. If only yesterday would shape up to the words. I'd like to say, then in a way I'd be beside you... [Bridge:] I walk the decisions, gpt forced into life. Can't live by a vision when love is a lie. Rage without reason, a spell on mankind. With rain comes a season, cach drop is a cry. Why, I don't know why, I'll never know. [Chorus:] I should have known better, to let you walk out all alone. You walked out on everything. You should have known better, to let me wait here all alone. You're everything. Carried by time makes the world look bigger. I see many faces now, They may have even seen my unknown. Licking my wounds makes me so perceptive. All that I lost, taken by pain, In the end I gained just the same. I'd love to put a pistol to the day. Shoot, and run the other way, then in my way. I'd be beside you. [Bridge] [Chorus] [Solo] Now in a way I am beside you... |

The thoughts you have given, a spiritual song
I enter the day, it's the first of your voyage Through logic and time I'm here by your side My kiss on your forehead Your skin is so cold, yet you crack a smile Without moving you reach out and cling to my hand Are you happy again? Ooh, we're crossing the rainbow Skin ti skin we make love in the sand Ooh, we go through the pages of life As we live it again I'm reading my conscience, why always too late When fortune is lost Is it part of the lecture, the lessons of life Will I learn in the end? I taste your existence, I feel you are near yet I turn my head And I cry like a baby so helpless and scared, to meet you again |

Good morning my son, watch the sun topping your dream.
In the future a future to see. Morning or not, it's always too late. Why do we live in the past? A moment is just long enough for the next to erase. [Bridge:] A fading dimension, with a link to the soul. It feels like, no freedom, but life to go. [Chorus:] I - Hide the poet in silence. AM - Where the whisper still screams. LOST - Like a storm on the ocean. FIND ME SON - To my inner emotions. TO - Kill the time on its way. ME - Bringing lies to the notion. [Bridge:] You're blessed with the power of seeing, What for others remains. The violence, the torment, with who to blame? Take a look at my life, Encounter the ways protected by time. It's buying, supplying and taking lives. Take a look at this face, The present disgust, tomorrows disgrace. We're hiding, denying we're stuck to race. |

I'm on top of the world, enjoying the fruits of decision
Conquered the lame feeling brought on by your Spanish inquisition Hey you cannot beat a religion such as mine In a way I'm a relic of a god forsaken time Sure business is tough and we've got to make a living So never mind the people you loot and consume your glory days I hardly can wait for the day the tables turn I will be there to spit on your grave When your soul for ever burns Look for the writings on the wall This one's for you but from us all Look at your mirrors ugly face King of the scum of human race Near sweet liberty sing it's a song with a truthful origin Lip up the sky dance and drink wine to the tune of judgement day Hey clouds start to pack, could this be your waiting sign? Don't think I care I'll take my share and my chain to look away |

In your mind I am free, I AM
Using you to tell, I CAN When you touch yourself From the spot where new life gets born Right down to the places you don't want to show Try and find me baby, I'm all over you In a way I am just your darkest fantasy I call tell exactly what you want and need I can't keep your soul from falling You can't keep your motor running But release is on it's way... Spirits watching every motion, day by day What will be your faith? Spirits, born to our devotion On our way To what will be our faith I'm the stain on your wall. I AM Watching you when you craw. I CAN Won't you touch yourself? I'm in your bed when you're not alone Watch you make the faces when he makes you come I can tell you baby, who you're thinking of |

He sees no more reason, to find the inner strength to carry on.
'Cause there's nothing left. There are no more answers. No more fire in her heart, it all turned black. No tears left to cry, the river's run dry. Under gods naked eye. A frozen horizon, he needs a shining star to melt it down, And color his view. She needs a new vision, 'cause the one she thought was real, Came tumbling down and shattered the ground of love she had found. Under gods naked eye. [Chorus:] Save me,from the thunder roaming in my brain. The chilly chimes, the bell of pain keeps calling me Until you.... Save me, 'cause my whole wide world comes tumbling down, My feet can't seem to touch the ground. You're the only one to save me now.... He sees no more reason, to find the inner strength to carry on. 'Cause there's nothing left. A frozen horizon, she needs a shining star to melt it down And color the sky, And answer the whys. Under Gods Naked Eye. |
