In the realm of the dark clouds Great giver of the endless dream Flourishes By prospering On desperation avarice and greed Living up to Expectations It’s a certainty to fall There is no Requital Or recognition Only the sadness of it all In the grip of self destruction Shackled in the prison of the day Hopes are buried deep Stolen dreams to keep The burning cloak of anguish at bay Don’t give into Your temptation It’s a certainty to fall There is no Requital Or recognition Only the sadness of it all Fill my head with formalin and Put me on display Ease the way to senselessness For that’s the only way Standing here among the remnants Of everything that came and went before Give up on what you seek Head into retreat In honesty you’ll never ask for more Don’t give into Your temptation It’s a certainty to fall There is no Requital Or recognition Only the sadness of it all No wonder There is no Joy or elation Only the sadness of it all

Spring brings the rising sun Easing into summer days Dark rain clouds and solitude Are never too far away Autumn is the king of thieves Preying on the days of the old A lifetime away from yesterday The falling leaves and the cold I’m running out of time I’m last to cross the line I’m feeling like an outcast in the depths of winter The fools begin to win I’m hollow deep within Open up and let me in All I need is shelter now... I’m fading away There’s a price I have to pay For the wasted years and stupid fears That made me what I am today. Someone Is waiting To measure up your life Balancing the wrongs and rights Before you’re taken away Taken away Counting up the coffee spoons Discarded since the days of your youth The hinge on the door That opens no more The creaking sound you can’t ignore I’m running out of time I’m last to cross the line I’m feeling like an outcast in the depths of winter The fools begin to win I’m hollow deep within Open up and let me in All I need is shelter now... I’m fading away There’s a price I have to pay For the wasted years and stupid fears That made me what I am today. Four long seasons in solitude A lease on life that can’t be renewed In our winter of discontent We’re fading away We’re fading away Counting up the coffee spoons Discarded since the days of your youth The hinge on the door That opens no more The creaking sound that you can’t ignore

Looking back to the stories of old We’ve seen so many changes We rallied round when the spirits were down Now we seem like strangers Second chances handed out Discontent and nagging doubt In the dark depths of a dream Nothing is quite as it seems Rearranged with a lineup change We’ve seen so many faces The young and the old the shy and the bold Been through many phases Reaching out, seize the day Take a chance or walk away In the dark depths of a dream Nothing is quite as it seems The hue and the cry when you reach for the sky Nothing ever changes The cold light of day has nothing to say Inertia is contagious Second chances handed out Discontent and nagging doubt In the dark depths of a dream Nothing is quite as it seems Looking back, looking back Nothing ever changes Looking back, looking back Nothing ever changes

Watching the stars shine at the edge of the night Figures of loneliness Withering in the light There's a sense of greater destiny But life gets in the way Telling the story of unspeakable crimes Feeling the synergy Draining the energy The sound of drums announcing what becomes The mother of it all Clouds and crashing waves Wonders that amaze In life's deep mystery Living the high life in the shadow of doom Drink from the fountain Days of youth end too soon This immorality Will be the death of me and then Sit down here and watch the stars again The air is warm The sky is clear The future is calling Solar waves flowing fast and bright Stars shine in the night Living the high life in the shadow of doom Drink from the fountain Days of youth end too soon This immorality Will be the death of me and then Sit down here and watch the stars again The future is calling This immorality Will be the death of me and then Sit down here and watch the stars again

Manet Alta mente Repositum Time and tide Manet Alta mente Repositum Time and tide The screaming in the distance The burning of the land The warnings are conspicuous It’s coming to an end There’s no way back The salad days are over In darkness buried deep And in the heartbeat of a lifetime The fear I dread to meet The dream you dare not dream The hollow lands you’ve seen Time and tide will leave you in the end The valley of the dead With resting places left Time and tide won’t wait for you my friend The ghost of your desire Dancing in the fire So near so far Like a fading star Time and tide will leave you in the end The valley of the dead With resting places left Time and tide won’t wait for you my friend Between the falling shadow And the promise of tomorrow Time is short It’s withering away

Selene, the goddess of the moon Mercurial and hewn From ashen rays of afterglow High, presiding through the night Her veil of silver light Cascading over all we know Deep in my subconciousness Arcadia survives In the dismal days of Emptiness We try to turn the tide Before my eyes The truth in a strange disguise So I ran and I ran But the future had a plan To catch me out If you attune To the phasing of the moon Like chasing a ghost From the pillar to the post It wears you down Turn the tide By leaving the past behind Buried in the sands of time So in the end The phasing wins again Come the dark, come the dawn Come the chasm of the morn It wears you down Turn the tide By leaving the past behind Buried in the sands of time

Falling from the sky Lurking in the night Demons with no rhyme or reason Drifting through the day Hours slip away Standing in the silence of the moment Attending to the chores Waste away indoors A human voice deceives to wake me up Daring to disturb The fragile universe Furnishing a state I can’t reverse In a never ending sea Of strange reality The tide will turn when people come together And if the sadness comes to stay In the light of a brand new day Awaken now that sunlight streams forever And if the sadness comes to stay In the light of a brand new day Awaken now that sunlight streams forever I’ve known them all before Traits that I deplore Waving from the shore in the distance Keeping them at bay A target for the day Testing out my strength and persistence Attending to the chores Waste away indoors A human voice deceives to wake me up Daring to disturb The fragile universe Furnishing a state I can’t reverse In a never ending sea Of strange reality The tide will turn when people come together And if the sadness comes to stay In the light of a brand new day Awaken now that sunlight streams forever And if the sadness comes to stay In the light of a brand new day Awaken now that sunlight streams forever

Travel with me to the edge of the night Come with me, fix the problem of the light We’ll leave this world together, you and I alone Make the deep dark waters feel like home Ride the wave to the beautiful end No time for another New realm of radical change Earth fire air and water Escape from the here and now Return to the clay for it all goes round and round It all goes round and round Earth mother at a critical stage Taking time to recover Turn around and start it again Make a pact to rely on each other Travel with me to the edge of the night Come with me, fix the problem of the light We’ll leave this world together, you and I alone Make the deep dark waters feel like home Deep dark waters always feel like home Deep dark waters always feel like home

Do we share the blame In the wake of all we’ve seen Please let it be over In this purgatory The sacrifice is rarely as it seems It’s never over A paradigm Fabricated for your peace of mind Carved into the mountain Worthless words That demean Carved into the mountain In the underworld The denizens are waiting Now the time is drawing near There’s no sentiment Waiting for the incubus to appear Turn the tide Living in the shadows where we hide Sadness sits beside me This golden shore and the waves Bring solace in the chaos that we made Please let it be over The time is drawing near In the wake of the facing of our fear Paradise in resplendence As above Is always as below In gratitude for endeavour In the realm Of shallowness we know Turn the tide Living in the shadows where we hide Sadness sits beside me This golden shore and the waves Bring solace in the chaos that we made Please let it be over Please let it be over In the shadows of the hollow where we hide Sadness sits beside me Make the change And try to turn the tide Turn the tide
