O Mount Kailas
Uncover me
Come my restoration
Wash my body clean
I've been walking
Along a crooked path
Where the walls have fallen
And broken me in half

I'm telling you
I will not rest till I lay down my head
I'm gonna go
In the house of stone and light
I shall not cry for the blind man I leave behind
When I got
In the house of stone and light
In the house of stone and light

Holy lady
Show me my soul
Tell me of that place
Where I must surely go
Old man waiting
At the gates for me
Give me the wisdom
Give me the key

I'm telling you
I will not rest till I lay down my head
In the house of stone and light
I make my way O gonna be such a beautiful day
In the house of stone and light
In the house of stone and light

Let me in beneath my skin
In the house of stone and light

It's been too long
My spirit's been at war
Havasupai Shaman
Let me be reborn

All I will embrace the sun upon my face
Come the day I awake the child inside
In the house of stone and light
And when I go I will op-op-open my eyes
In the house of stone and light
I will see you
In the house of stone and light

I'm looking in beneath my skin
In The House of Stone And Light

Just another day
Love seems so far away
There's no sign of life
In Eden's garden
Just another day
Liberty's coming out to play
On a Belfast street
Concrete stained
Blood and rain
I'm ashamed

There's a broken man
Praying for a wounded land
Oh why can't we shape the invisible
For faith that's blind
The voice of reason cries
Oh why can't we shape the invisible

Just another day
Brotherhood won't show his face
In the neighborhood
Drive by shots
Time stops
Doors are locked

Behind my door
Fear is keeping score
Oh why can't we shape the invisible
And the dealer won't rest
'Til he sells a child Death
Oh why can't we shape the invisible

Just another day
Walking in the steps of Cain
In the desert sun
Lightning strikes
Chemical lights
Burn my eyes

A mother's son
Is now a soldier marching on
He's been told to shape the invisible
Under poisoned skies
The children wonder why
Our fathers can't shape the invisible

Somewhere a small boy is playing with his toys
Someday his innocence
will Shape The Invisible

Take this main who comes to you
Take me to your side
I throw away my soulless days
I need you in my life
In the doorway of my heart
The presence of you shines
So put your face to my window
Trust what you see inside

What are these hands for
If I can't bring you fallen rain
What are these eyes for
If I can't see the moon
Watch over you
What are these arms for
If I can't hold you through the night
What does this heart beat for
If I can't lay by your side
You must know
I was made for you

I'll meet you by the wisdom tree
And I'll hold you so close
Come on out of the wilderness
Let love free you from your ghosts

What are these hands for
If I can't bring you fallen rain
What are these eyes for
If I can't see the moon
Watch over you
What are these arms for
If I can't hold you through the night
What does this heart beat for
If I can't lay by your side
You must know
I was made for you

We'll walk upon the hill
So high above the city
And count the rooftops down below
Lay on the grass
Dream out loud
Catch runaway trains
Dance in the rain
Someday you'll take my name

Kneel down in the blue light
Let your hair fall down around
Blow out all your candles tonight
And I believe you will see
I was made for you
What are these hands for...

What are these arms for
If I can't hold you through the night
What does this heart beat for
If I can't lay by your side
You must know
I was made for you

And I'll be the train
That keeps on rollin'
Up up around the bend
I'll be the voice that you hear callin'
Howlin' on the wind
I'll be the river deep
And I'll be the hand
That keeps on a-knockin'
Up up against your door
I'll be the promise never broken
O forever more
Every vow I make
O I won't forsake

'Cause I'm gonna be
The keeper of the flame
You won't forget my name
Long as our love is in the rain
Wait and see I'm gonna be
The keeper of the flame
Someday you'll know my name
Long as our love is in the rain
Wait and see
O I'm gonna be
The keeper of the flame

Don't give me money money money
It'll lead my soul astray
I just wanna be inside your temple
Each and every day
When you lay down your head
I will be your bed
And I'll be the heart
That keeps on a-beatin'
Hard up against your skin
I'll be the bulldozer pushin'
'Til you let me in
And when the sun goes down
I will be around

'Cause I'm gonna be
The keeper of the flame
You won't forget my name
Long as our love is in the rain
Wait and see I'm gonna be
The keeper of the flame
Someday you'll know my name
Long as our love is in the rain
Wait and see
O I'm gonna be
The keeper of the flame

To get what I wanna get
I'll be the red red wine
Going straight to your head

All I'll be the train
That keep on rollin'
Up up around the bend
I'll be the horse that keeps on rockin'
This ride will never end
O when the sun goes down
I will be around

'Cause I'm gonna be
The keeper of the flame
You won't forget my name
Long as our love is in the rain
Wait and see I'm gonna be
The keeper of the flame
Someday you'll know my name
Long as our love is in the rain
Come lean on me 'cause I wanna be
The keeper of the flame
I won't ever let it fade
Long as our love is in the rain
I want you to call out my name
And wait and see
O I'm gonna be
The Keeper Of The Flame

I see my mother sit in silence
Count the minutes to closing time
One more drink and he'll bring home anger
Like clockwork I would hide
Heavy steps
Drunken threats
Locked away I can feel you

In my room
I can hear her fight his kiss
In my room
I hear him bring down his fist
And still at night
I hear my mother cry

Tongith the wait is over
And he won't be pacified
He'll raise his bottle just like a hammer
And she will be crucified
Broken cross
Something lost
Locked away I can feel you

In my room
I can hear her fight his kiss
In my room
I hear him bring down his fist
And still at night
I hear my mother cry

What did she do the suffer you
Her tears bleed through the walls in here
And I'll stand in your way
Father
You won't hit her ever again

Broken cross
Something lost
Locked away I can feel you

In my room
I can hear her fight his kiss
In my room
I hear him bring down his fist
And still at night
I hear my mother cry
She lays herself down
No more strength to resist
But the darkness won't forgive
And still at night
I hear my mother cry

There's a monkey in my dreams
Clinging like a thief
Forcing my eyes open
Wrestling in my sheets

I'm living on my own now
Without you on my back
But still you keep on calling
No disappearing act

You used to be so good at that
You used to be so good at games
Now you go 'round and around
Exiting the way you came

Just a monkey in my dreams
That's what you are
A loose valve of escaping steam
That's what you are
A motor running in an empty car
That's what you are
And I won't stoop to the obscene
You're a monkey
Just a monkey
You're a monkey in my dreams
Gonna shake that monkey right outta my bed
Gonna shake that monkey right outta my head

I'm losing eight good hours
With this hollow ghost of you
Screeching in my sleep tank
Sleeping in my shoes

You used to be so good at that
You used to be so good at games
Now you go 'round and around
Exiting the way you came

Just a monkey in my dreams
That's what you are
A loose valve of escaping steam
That's what you are
A motor running in an empty car
That's what you are
And I won't stoop to the obscene
You're a monkey
Just a monkey
You're a monkey in my dreams
Gonna shake that monkey right outta my bed
Gonna shake that monkey right outta my head

Time to shake the monkey outta my bed
Time to shake the monkey outta my head

I can't reason on the phone
I won't talk to your machine
No doctor would prescribe you
No doctor is that mean

You used to be so good at that
You used to be so good at games
Now you go 'round and around
Exiting the way you came

Just a monkey in my dreams
That's what you are
A loose valve of escaping steam
That's what you are
A motor running in an empty car
That's what you are
And I won't stoop to the obscene
You're a monkey
Just a monkey
You're a monkey in my dreams
Gonna shake that monkey right outta my bed
Gonna shake that monkey right outta my head

Over the railway lines
Under the bridge
Where we met first time
I'm coming across town
Walking to your house

Yesterday weighs you down
O lonely girl won't you come on out
I swear it'll be alright
On this holy night

Put on your red dress baby
And wear your smile
Say goodnight to your sister
We're gonna walk for miles
We'll go where the boats are leaving
In St. George's Bay
And when I look into your eyes
There's one thing that I can say
No one loves you this way
So put on your red dress baby
And one more time
Let me see you smile

There's the abandoned train
Where we sheltered from the rain
Somehow I knew someday
We'd come here again

Put on your red dress baby
And wear your smile
Say goodnight to your sister
We're gonna walk for miles
We'll go where the boats are leaving
In St. George's Bay
And when I look into your eyes
There's one thing that I can say
No one loves you this way
So put on your red dress baby
And one more time
Let me see you smile

Here on this empty road
We stare at ourselves
In a shop window
Funny we seem so right
On this holy night

So you put on your red dress baby
And wear your smile
Close the door right behind you
We're gonna walk for miles
We'll go where the boats are leaving
In St. George's Bay
And recall the tenderness
As we sit by the waterside
O I can never forget
That I was the man who let you
Slip out of his life
So put on your red dress baby
And let me one more time
Make you smile tonight

We've played the final game
Now we both remain
Froze beneath your jealous sky
Lord knows I fear to tread
Suspicion burns out all the lights

On a broken stairway
Is this where our love will stay
On a broken stairway
We say goodbye

Silence corrodes the air
I guess we can't repair
The cracks that run right through our lives
All of the tears you fake
Are abandoned here halfway
Between the truth between the lies

On a broken stairway
Foundations rock and sway
On a broken stairway
We say goodbye

On a broken stairway
Is this where our love will stay
On on broken stairway
We say goodbye

You had the model touch
I was your secret fool
Through all the wasted words
I'd see you cutting through
Shades drawn tight across this man
I was lip-syncing rhythm
I'd no master plan

There's a light in your heart
There's a shadow in the shade of your eyes
There's a place we can go after dark
In between a truth and a lie
And it's lit by the light in your heart
The light in your heart

You had the coolest hand
I began to shake
In and out of doubt
A better world took shape
But if I fall sometime at your feet
Let me dream in your footsteps
Walk in your sleep

There's a light in your heart
There's a shadow in the shade of your eyes
There's a place we can go after dark
In between a truth and a lie
And it's lit by the light in your heart
The light in your heart

I'm no green light to something better
Just old news when the dust settles down
I'll be no blues I'll be here for you
Keeping my part together

There's a light in your heart
There's a shadow in the shade of your eyes
There's a place we can go after dark
In between a truth and a lie
And it's lit by the light in your heart
The light in your heart

Hannah is dreaming
She's young once again
She stands with her brother
With thousands of men
Her head has been shaven
By a black uniform
She's one of God's children
That waits at the door

Tears in her pillow
She tightens her lips
Touches the number
Tattooed on her wrist
The sign says "Treblinka"
Again she can't breathe
For all of these children
She'll always see

They're her constant companions
Six hundred souls
In the doors of the chambers
There's one door of hope
That would open to the forest
And fields covered green
Where all of God's children
Again would be free

And they came out of the tunnels
Went over in waves
She'd run with the others
Over the graves
As the watchtowers tumble
In an ocean of fire
Some of God's children
Escape through the wire

Slowly 'round
The raven flies
Scours the trees
Where they hid
The Beast he threatens
"You won't survive"
She raise her fist
And whispers in her sleep
"I am going to live!
I am going to live!"

Sunlight has risen
In her garden today
Hannah is watching
Her grandchildren play
She hears the bells ringing
In a town far away
For all of God's children
Who died for this day

In every man a fear is born
He must stand within the storm
And wake the faith
That sleeps so deep within the heart

In the darkest hour we face the past
As thunder rolls across our path
A sign of hope
When you reach out for my hand

You can always count on me
Wherever you go is where I'll be
Call me in your hour of need
I'll carry you home 'cause I believe
It never dies
The spirit flies
Always know
You can count on me

There's an open road we travel down
To build the soul to bridge the clouds
This day I know
Our trust can never be broken

You can always count on me
Wherever you go is where I'll be
Call me in your hour of need
I'll carry you home 'cause I believe
It never dies
The spirit flies
Always know
You can count on me

Now I can see where the darkness ends
Now I see where the light begins
In your strength another day
In your eyes I see my way

This day I know
Our trust can never be broken

You can always count on me
Wherever you go is where I'll be
Call me in your hour of need
I'll carry you home 'cause I believe
It never dies
The spirit flies
Always know
You can count on me
