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

Nothing Ever Changes
03:36
|

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

Time And Tide

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

Deep Dark Waters
04:08
|
|||
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

Paradise In Resplendence
07:05
|

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
