01. Kill the View I, I have a sickness that comes and goes But if I stay in darkness I feel the glow I can feel my fingers twist and shred Tangled in a rhythm that drains my head
So never mind the pain my friend Or the love we all do send It never seems to kill the view I have seen the chosen few Run away from you
We, can be together, I know it's so Please, please don't deny me, just let me go I can feel my fingers, twist and shred Tangled in a rhythm, that drains my head
So never mind the pain my friend Or the love we all do send It never seems to kill the view I have seen the chosen few Run away from you, Run away from you
02. It's Been Waiting I've seen the sunrise at dawn, much too many a time Dragged my soul thru the night, another 12 hour fight Sight of day breaks my heart, nothing resolved in the dark Time to run to the clear, of that I have no fear Open fire, open fire on your dreams, your dreams Lay it down, lay it down in a stream Where it feels like it's been waiting The tracks are long and wide, but I'm stuck in this rut Clouds of dust hang high, where only ghosts see out But we fight on thru till dawn, get it done we, get it done
Open fire, open fire on your dreams, your dreams Lay it down, lay it down in a stream Where it feels like it's been waiting
03. Now That You're Free The settling clouds of understanding Are covering over the lands of a doubt The rains are cool and reminding Of distant times in our fates
Should you even want to notice These are the moments that come only once Finding ways to far off places Maybe you will, maybe you won't decide for yourself
Now that you're fine, now that you're free Now that you're fine, now that you're free
Stood on the beach for your arrival Never doubted you'd be here in the end Fires burning in the hearth now Maybe you will maybe you won't arrive by yourself
Now that you're fine, now that you're free Now that you're fine, now that you're free
05. Life in the Anthill You ask me about my mind What can I say (in reply) You ask me is it time when all I intend (is to deny) I won't open up the heavy trap door The one that hides my little cave My secrets are safe in the dark Don't mind the mud, sand 'n stone
I buried it all, buried it all Don't look for me, you don't need to see Warm dark earth covers me, keeps me safe
Life in the anthill, life in the anthill
Hours to days, it's all the same now Rivers of time (run dry) Been this way all my life now Can't explain it (all away) Claim to see light of the godly It's a so called chosen way I've dug deep, made my peace Don't mind the mud, sand 'n stone
I buried it all, buried it all Don't look for me, you don't need to see Warm dark earth covers me keeps me safe
Life in the anthill, life in the anthill Life in the anthill, life in the anthill
07. Retro Love I couldn't find my way out, in the sand all about It was hard to find a way, it was hard for me to say It was far out of sight, could not see Could not see I could not feel, could not feel
Now I don't know which way to go The tracks were light in the snow
I feel so far, in retro love I feel so far, in retro love
I've chased a sound around the world, been inspired by all I've heard Reclining in the fields of dreams And if I ever have the chance I'd sing it all to you All in retro love
We said the words, kept the peace Life goes on, so it seems
I feel so far, in retro love I feel so far, in retro love
08. All the Way Dance around the truth of why you're here at all Anything will be ok Time is running out now, I have things to do Leave your baggage at the door
Waiting for words to fly Guessing everyone's a lie, but
Then it seems alright to be in this old room Just like time is standing still Will it come out tonight, all the crazy things we have covered in this life
Waiting for you to smile I walk an emotional mile, so
WHAT do you mean, mean to SAY what you feel, feels like TIME'S taken you all the way, all the way
Change of scenery is all we need just now Any place will be ok Will it come out tonight, all the crazy things we have covered in this life
Waiting for you to smile I walk an emotional mile, so
WHAT do you mean, mean to SAY what you feel, feels like WHAT do you mean, mean to SAY what you feel, feels like TIME'S taken you all the way, all the way
09. I Know I Will File all those thoughts away, Keep them down for just another day Smile as if no one knows There is nothing more that they could ever say
And if they ask you things that take you there, take you there They don't need to know cos they don't care, they don't care
Just lie, I know I will, I know I will Just lie, I know I will, I know I will And if you feel the same as me just
Try, to be calm and clear That they won't be in your life from now on Cried on the pillow for long enough It is dry and it is time to just move on
And if they ask you things that take you there, take you there They don't need to know cos they don't care, they don't care
Just lie, I know I will, know I will Just lie, I know I will, know I will And if you feel the same as me just now
Just lie,I know I will, know I will Just lie, I know I will, know I will And if you feel the same as me just now You will be just fine
10. The Final Task Crying at the edge of this disaster In a curious way, making time go faster Smiling as my plans just fall all apart Driving the last nail into my heart
You are a creature of disdain You don't intend to take the blame It's too much this final task You are a creature of disdain You don't intend to take the blame It's too much, this final task
Always had respect for your own ambitions In a curious way it freed all my inhibitions Your making headway with the big boys now So much for memories, you don't remember me anyhow
You are a creature of disdain You don't intend to take the blame It's too much this final task You are a creature of disdain You don't intend to take the blame It's too much, this final task
11. Surely as the Sun Drifting on the sunbeams of your last success Fleeing all the way to the finish line, at its best See the feeling come, see it go away It will take you far in this world and never seem to fade
Took my words 'n went for the path of least resistance Don't blame you at all as I ran that way myself See the money come, see it go away You did it once you can try again no matter what they say
Surely as the sun beats down on your dying world You will understand the thoughts that came before (x2) They will not believe in you
Dancing with illusions all of this time Hoping for a dream to come true to make my mind See the money come, see it go away You did it once you can try again, no matter what they say
12. The World Moved Away We dragged away the burning trees Tried to find a place to cross The hills themselves had fallen down The very land was going to drown
Under sodium skies, ash watery eyes A widow's town of hope, 'til the end
I'd never been to such a place, too naive in all my haste There is no comparison to home As light breaks through this blackened dome
The cries are heard, as departed burn A widow's town of tears, next life new fears
The world moved away, (and so they say) The world moved away Empire had nothing to say So let her smile fade, fade away
The cries are heard, as departed burn A widow's town of tears, next life new fears
01. Push & Pull Mind as you walk through a field of souls They just might try 'n follow you home, To a place of your own
Troubles that whirl in a cloud just above I could do without the seeds of doubt
Push 'n pull, 'cross this stony hill Push 'n pull, it's a bitter pill Push 'n pull, 'cross this stony hill Push 'n pull So you wonder what comes next Is it pride or your friends
Throw me a line, we have the time Push 'n pull, I think we'll be fine Push 'n pull
There is now anger to take its turn Would you let it run or let it burn?
Push 'n pull, 'cross this stony hill Push 'n pull, it's a bitter pill Push 'n pull, 'cross this stony hill Push 'n pull
Now you fight, for sure you fight For your life or your pride, your pride
02. Akira the Atomic Once again I fell on my sword Hopefully with all honour restored I didn't intend to see the city fall I didn't need you to storm the walls
Pray for cold rain to come May heavy snow just gatecrash the sun Spark in the dark, seems to be Have I a need to worry?
But it's alright now, peace is restored Go and see your friends, just talk to them now
What can I do, when you go to war? Running from the blast coming through your door
Tension seems to build again Is the need to fight reserved for them? Internal fuse that seems to light I know it's on, just from sight
But it's alright now, peace is restored Go and see your friends, just talk to them now
What can I do, when you go to war? Running from the blast coming through your door
03. Strobe I don't know where you are. I don't know where you've been This softly falling pure white snow is gonna hide all the signs
I've fallen out with the sun, I've fallen out with the stars 'n fighting my way through the cold, could even leave me dead
And the strobe is bright, the strobe it hurts my head Burning all the inner senses glowing red And the strobe is bright, and I think it's right Slowing this world of motion into black and white
I can't see through the fire, can't see through the flame The softly falling pure white ash is gonna hide all the signs I've fallen out with the sun, I've fallen out with the stars Fighting my way thru the heat could even leave me dead
And the strobe is bright, and I think it's right Slowing this world of motion into black and white (repeat)
04. Beyond the Blue Slicing under the skin of reality, to find a nerve of latent fantasy The search is on, the light fades out The road still shines for a path we doubt Do you believe in even half you see? What you read or what you breathe?
I don't know just what it takes, I don't know if it's worth it If you deceive 'n take away, the thoughts that you love
I can try (to justify), this world so blue I might try (to justify) your world so true
Is it a matrix, or a mind in a maze, or a dead heart lost in the haze The search is on, the light fades out The road still shines for a path we doubt Do the winds call to set you free? Flee the hills and run to the sea
I don't know just what it takes, I don't know if it's worth it If you deceive 'n take away, the thoughts that you love
I can try (to justify), this world so blue I might try (to justify) your world so true I can try (to justify), this world so blue I might try (to justify) your world so true
05. Iridium Smile Where are the words to describe this flame? Blast of white unable to tame Share the light that brings us home Care for the one that breaks a mould
I don't know if I will sleep, I don't know if it will keep But once you arrive at this place, I'll run to the glow of your face
She is the girl with the iridium smile She is the girl that blows my mind Blows my mind
Where is the time to describe this life? Days gone by, unable to say Share the love that lifts a heart Care for the ones that fell apart
I don't know if I will sleep, I don't know if I will keep But once you arrive at this place I'll run to the glow of her face
She is the girl with the iridium smile She is the girl that blows my mind She is the girl with the iridium smile She is the girl that blows my mind Blows my mind
I don't know if I will keep, I don't know if I will sleep Yeah
07. The Sweet Lie I could never be with you You would always see right through Every word that I might hide Flew a thousand miles away, so I couldn't hear you say Please take away the pain
Take what you want, you can see all I got anyway Take what you need and then just get right outta my life Sweet lies, sweet lies, sweet lies Are coming for you, coming for you
Sugar coated poison pills They will take your breathe away And they help to pass the time
Take what you want, you can see all I got anyway Take what you need and then just get right outta my life Sweet lies, sweet lies,sweet lies Are coming for you, coming for you
08. Drive A tired old caravan, in a dark desert bed A salt lake heart, I will lay my head A misunderstanding, a life understated Threats unrecorded, 'til he got me again, got me again
I'm on this worn path, walking by moonlight The sand is underfoot, every step a fight
My old enemy won't leave me alone My old enemy won't leave me alone
I will fight this sorry fate, to hell with destiny I've just got to try
09. Oberon's Son This having told my dream, I bid you farewell If you applaud mad Robin's pranks Maybe here long, I'll tell
Some other stories to your care, shall contentment give To gain your favours I will seek the longest day, and
Watch the sea as it flows like it knows which way to go See you rise from a chair but I don't want you to know It's the fear of the heart, of being torn apart
Is Oberon equally tame? Not in his origins, at least Some other stories to your care, shall contentment give To gain your favour I will seek the way
Having told my dreams in full, I bid you farewell If you applaud mad Robin's pranks Maybe here long I'll
Watch the sea as it flows like it knows which way to go See you rise from the chair but I don't want you to know It's the fear of the heart, of being torn apart
10. Soul Soldier Walking down the street at night, I didn't pause in the light Shadows hug me like a friend, like a girl after a fight Couldn't find a reason, to calm down Wouldn't take the treason that I found out
But then comes the dawn in sight Grey skies fell down in fright
The little soldier, in our soul Will march us through the worst and all If you need fire to take its toll Just be ready for the cold, the cold
Didn't know the reason why, still ready to take flight Maybe I should push right through, Break the door just in spite Couldn't find a reason, to calm down Wouldn't take the treason that I found out
But then comes the dawn in sight Grey skies fell down in fright
The little soldier, in our soul Will march us through the worst and all If you need fire to take its toll Just be ready for the cold, the cold
11. Pleasure Blind This fortune in gold is worth much more, Than a life it seems Treasures from far across these foreign seas, Ease a poor man's fears A dusting of spice that scents 'n blurs the mind, that's pleasure blind
I looked for pleasure, I found pain Tried for mercy, gone insane
If you find, pleasure blind, if you can take it all
There is much more to this then meets the eye, She said to me I will just take your hand so softly, and guide you there
I looked for pleasure, I found pain Tried for mercy, gone insane
If you find, pleasure blind, If you can take it all You will see journey's end All you need to be
I looked for pleasure, I found pain Tried for mercy, gone insane
12. Caliph of the Moon Ride, ride as hard as you can Clouds are forming, gathering they're gathering I, I can see their minds Thoughts are boiling, they're screaming and crying
But all the doors are closed Night time ghost in rows The world just looks away Their eyes are closed
No! I won't go No! No! I won't go
Fly, fly as fast as you can Sun is burning, it's melting, yeah it's melting I, I can see their homes Sand is bleeding, screaming 'n dying
But all the doors are closed Night time ghost in rows The world just looks away Their eyes are closed
No! I won't go No! No! I won't go
No! I won't go No! No! I won't go No! I won't go No! No! I won't go
13. Killer Cool Reflective Silver chipped shards of ice can cut me I will surely bleed a mountain spring, but It doesn't really hurt until I hear the words you say I'm terrified to try and breathe in this glass Bowl of killer cool reflective poison I can't avoid the thought that I will only fade, away
I couldn't even find a way To ask you the time of day, you the time of day I couldn't even find a way To ask you the time of day, you the time of day I know there is no way
Seen you many times you walk the gardens Pictured every moment framed in golden Streaming sunbeams that pass right through my non-soul
A creature like me can only stand on The opposite side of glass petitions Totally invisible to your, your sight
I couldn't even find a way To ask you the time of day, you the time of day I couldn't even find a way To ask you the time of day, you the time of day I know there is no way
