I lay my eyes upon it, the dark world rising up at night. I want enough to want it, I try to live in another life. I've tried to look and see what everyone else sees, I saw no face of God there staring back at me. Something pulls me softly through the void, The way back home will never be destroyed. What lays there undiscovered, taking form in another shape? From one thing to another, leaving all 'till the body breaks. I tried to find the place where no one's ever been, I always found the flag there waving in the wind. All the time will slowly tick away, I feel you coming closer everyday. Spreading out like vines that grow across the cold concrete, And then they spill on down the hill and crawl back underneath; Like fingers reaching through the land to meet back at the sea: And I will walk beside them endlessly. Just like an empty bottle, a grey shape hanging off to the side. Don't hide away tomorrow, come back, return to life. I tried to look and see what everyone else sees. I saw no face of God there staring back at me. Something pulls me softly through the void, The way back home will never be destroyed
Early in the morning Waiting for the sun I'd thought I'd never see you Thought you'd never come I pictured you inside me Coming through the blood I wished that I can reach you Bring you up above And all along, I wondered If you had gone away I thought of all the living things Forming every day Forming in the water Forming on the land I could see their faces In the sand
I run down the street, with all the wandering things Everyone can see, the world is coming free The monumental minds will dangle on a wire The great enormous wall, eventually will fall
And all the world is waiting To lay beneath the water To use up from the ruins And climb up from the bottom
I thought I heard you say the end is on the way I thought I heard you sing a million lovely things I thought I heard you cry, a howling through the night An everlasting scream, to echo through your dreams
And all the world is waiting To lay beneath the water To rise up from the ruins And climb up from the bottom
It was always growing there, a dim light in my eyes Coming on to lead me through the night All at once then slowly every sound you've ever known Is hummed by all the world in a drone
Oh, little one are you lost on the run? When the rain starts falling, I can't hear you calling I saw you there, we were both unaware Of the plots that were thickening, venomous and sickening
Coming down the spiral stairs With the end of the world in you eyes No one never could follow you there The corridors crumble behind
I walked alone into places unknown Where the wild creatures lay with the children all day Then I could see, rising up from beneath The blue flower was growing from under the ocean
Then the thunder pulled me away And the lightning ripped through the sky All around me, the world was so strange Like a book I always wanted to write
In the unseen hand will pick me up And take me far from home Lead me through the dream, surround, And bury me I'll lay there all alone All alone
I felt the waves Coming up from the graves All the people who knew me Were all moving through me
I trembled and shook As I read from the book Of that rolling, black water That end demon's daughter
Coming down the spiral stairs With the end of the world in you eyes No one never could follow you there The corridors crumble behind
Wake me up in the cold grey morning, Wrap me up in a web of light. We have all grown tired of waiting. Hide away, come with me, Words of love bursting free. In the night we will fade; Nothing will remain. See the boats out there in the harbor, See the smoke rising to the sky. Paper dolls burning in the fire, Burn away all of them inside. Things will come, things will go, Some will die in the row. Flames will reach to the sky, Bur cars keep rolling by. Fell asleep like a tired army, I am lost in the world tonight
Late at night I'm beginning to see What the world has been hiding from me. Laying out all the stones and the sand, Hold 'em up in the palm of my hand. Little pieces of something that was, It fell apart and it turned into dust. Worn away by the passing of time, It's the one thing you cannot defy. Paralyzed, I lie their in the dark; All the time I wonder where you are. New illusions appear every day, It's getting harder to wish them away. They're coming through a hole in the sky, I don't know where you light up my mind. All in all you wore me like the rain; Paranoia conquers everything. Up above theirs a light in the air, In my mind I will follow you there. Calling out to the world down below, If they'll hear my I never will know. Paralyzed, I lie their in the dark; All the time I wonder where you are. Coming home through the dark, Fading out, fell apart; Rising up, through the skin, Can't escape, never will
The sky's turning gray, here comes the rain; Lightning comes reaching through my windowpane. Silver bright light pulls through the sky, Pulls open the world 'till it lays there open wide. And all the little things go crawling back inside. Thoughts, they return, bend all around. They show me the way to that place there on the ground. Forget all I've seen, and I'll lay without a sound. A whole world is waving goodbye; A new lord takes over tonight. All the places I have seen, all the things I've said, Coming through my mind again, brings a sense of dread. A dark world at night, lay deep and quiet Comes wide awake in the middle of the day. Hey, can you hear voices so clear? Cutting like a blade, through the empty air of night; Drifting into space, moving up into the sky. A whole world is waving goodbye; A new lord takes over tonight. One more day I could not wait, of nothing more to see, Wandering through the world again, you could not ever meet. Over and over we drive down the road, Freeing from the things that would pull us beneath.
Trembling like a fly, all tangled in a web unseen Feeling like I'm always falling backwards in the dream Around me all the holy men were kneeling on the floor Asking for forgiveness, they would wait forever more
A cool wind blows on by The spider and the fly
In the dying light I saw a child there so fair Bending through the shadows as she moved up through the air I could hear her voice as it came calling through the dark Though I never found her, I have held her in my heart
A cool wind blows on by The spider and the fly
I could always feel you here with me Forming all the words I ever speak Seeing everything that will ever be, through me
Over all the years now I have always heard this song It sings me off to sleep and then it wakes me in the dawn It was such a mystery I pondered all the time One day without warning it came forming in my mind
Words are winding, towers of light were made for me. Walking through them endlessly, I have seen you Hiding in the dark; staring at the stars; Window to Mars. I'm not coming home today, Icy hands will melt away. We were always coming out of The arms of love
Ghostly eyes so old, I can hardly see you; Coming underground, digging through to feel you. The echoes in the night tell me not to follow, [Licking all the world(?)] is born again tomorrow. The whole world is like a giant burning flame, It fries you in your mind, and leaves you trying To find the way home. I have seen you there, in the new mythology, Walking down the road, blending with the scenery. The treasure's all the world, falling from your fingers, Riding in the dark, the feeling always lingers. The whole world is like a giant burning flame, It fries you in your mind, and leaves you trying To find the way home. Sometimes you can't escape, From the crushing weight, drags you on down to the bottom. The faces and the names all just go away, Buried down deep and forgotten. Outside on the road, I heard the rain falling. All the big black birds, they all came calling. Early in the morning, [?] in the light. Rolling through the days, flying through the night. The whole world is like a giant burning flame, It fries you in your mind, and leaves you trying To find the the way home
The night is over, the day is come; You're growing older, no longer young. You're never sleeping, you're wide awake, You're getting older, plans you make. Oh no, I never wanted to find out, Oh I wish you hadn't fried out. You've fallen under the dark waves, You're in the work yard with all the slaves. No one miss you when you're gone, Out there lying the black [?] I watched the fiend as he was forming, Ten years of ugly little warnings. And when you lay down, late in the night, You don't think about it, you don't wonder why. The days are long, and you cannot move. You only see what you want to see. You are never coming back, Forever falling through the cracks. I hope to see you once again, We're all moving towards the end. Oh no, I never wanted to find out, Oh I wish you hadn't fried out. And when you lay down, late in the night, You don't think about it, you don't wonder why. The days are long, and you cannot leave. You only see what you want to see
I've waited here so long, Counting through the hours. I heard a strange sad song, Coming from the towers.
I turned my head to follow, The voices tumbling downward. Worn away and hollow. A window in the cloud there.
We lay down low, Our world divides. One part won't wake. One comes alive.
I saw the demon's daughter, I tried to make her smile. We waded in the water. She shivered like a child.
We swam out to the island. I knew that I was dreaming. The world below was silent. The world above was screaming.
We lay down low, Our world divides. One part won't wake. One comes alive.
Oh, the I heard the callin' out from below. She took me by the hand and she never let go. I could not feel the cold wind, I could not feel the thorns. I could not tear my eyes from the light that drew me on.
The horse will ride the rider. The slave has rule the master. The web will trap the spider. The father births the bastard. The buildings are all falling. The people don't remember. The oceans are dissolving. The forests burned to embers.
We lay down low, Our world divides. One part won't wake. One comes alive.
We lay down low, Our world divides. One part won't wake. One comes alive
Crumbling worlds hung over me, Waiting along there underneath. Nobody knocks upon the door, Don't even know what we're waiting for. Forever pulled from the back of beyond; I'm just another come and gone, Follow the sunlight from the sky, Swallowed it all up in the life. And then the world it seems to quiver and to quake, We twist and turn away but never will escape. Hide in the trees, the name I know; Watch as the sky begins to glow. Moving across the dusty earth, Waiting for something to occur. And then I hold it up, it's there for all to see. All eyes come open, they're returning from the dream. And then the dark descends, dripping from the sky. As it comes pouring in blackness fills my eyes. Just when the world was becoming clear, Everything slowly disappeared. Everyone wondered what was said, Lying awake there in their beds. And then the world it seems quiver and to quake, We twist and turn away but never will escape. And then the dark descends, dripping from the sky. As it comes pouring in blackness fills my eyes
As I lay thinking of the things that I had seen, Scattered across my weary mind. The sun bursts through there in the corner of the sky, The world lit up before my eyes. Memories come crawling out once hidden deep inside, They make me laugh, they make me tremble with desire; They fill my head with dust, they fill my heart with lust. You never know what you may find. Oh, no, don't go. Oh, no, don't go
Well I rode far away, on the dark black wave, Nothing was the same when I woke up. And I wrote out these words, as my circled on; Sitting in my bright little corner. Midnight crawls out, one more time. I'm hiding out as the shadows climb. Early in the morning I listen to the sounds Of people walking up and down the street. I hear a voice that sounds just like a girl I used to know. She rode a horse and lived in a hotel room. Midnight crawls out, one more time. I'm hiding out as the church bells chime. Come to the window and tap on the screen, I'll climb out and walk in the rain. The shallow waters that lap at our feet Rise up a little every day. And then late in the night, as I'm drifting off to sleep, I picture you there on the big screen. You were riding on a train, through the desert at night, Leaning on your daddy's shoulder. Midnight crawls out, one more time. I'm hiding out as the shadows climb.
Late at night I'm beginning to see What the world has been hiding from me. Laying out all the stones and the sand, Hold 'em up in the palm of my hand. Little pieces of something that was, It fell apart and it turned into dust. Worn away by the passing of time, It's the one thing you cannot defy. Paralyzed, I lie their in the dark; All the time I wonder where you are. New illusions appear every day, It's getting harder to wish them away. They're coming through a hole in the sky, I don't know where you light up my mind. All in all you wore me like the rain; Paranoia conquers everything. Up above theirs a light in the air, In my mind I will follow you there. Calling out to the world down below, If they'll hear my I never will know. Paralyzed, I lie their in the dark; All the time I wonder where you are. Coming home through the dark, Fading out, fell apart; Rising up, through the skin, Can't escape, never will
Empty pictures Take my time. I see them always, In my mind.
You can't stop them: They refuse to leave. I feel them follow In a waking dream.
Every day, you stare into the bottom of the hole Your thoughts have gone, and you have no control.
Empty pictures Fill your screen. I do not need them; I don't believe.
Why are you waiting? Is there something there? You're still not moving ? Do you care?
Every day, you stare into the bottom of the hole Your thoughts have gone, and you have no control.
They can show you pictures of the world that looks so nice But you can walk out of your door and see with your own eyes. You can watch the show about the man you wanna be; Does the things you want to do, and leads you to believe?
It's better to be watching him, Than standing on your feet.
Empty pictures It's all the same. Every evening, Every day.
You can't stop them They refuse to leave. I never could see what There was to see?
Every day, you stare into the bottom of the hole Your thoughts have gone and you have no control.
어떤 밴드의 새로운 앨범에 대한 소개를 시작하기에 가장 편한 방법 중 하나는 멤버의 변화를 이야기하는 것입니다. 그 중에는 작년에 나왔던 Marilyn Manson의 [The Golden Age of Grotesque]처럼 '그게 어쨌다는 거야?'라고 생각하게 되는 경우도 있습니다. (사실 그와 그의 팀에 경우에 있어서는 늘 그랬다고 생각할 수도 있겠습니다.) 하지만 이번엔 단순한 더하기와 빼기의 차이 이상으로 경우가 다릅니다. Elf Power에 새로 가입한 Olivia Tremor Control 출신의 Eric Harris와 The Glands의 Craig McQuiston은 팀의 색깔을 바꾸고 영역을 확장시키면서 완성도에도 누를 끼치지 않는 역할을 충실하게 수행했습니다. 꾸준한 활동과 Elephant...
