01. Kill the View
02. It's Been Waiting
03. Now That You're Free
04. Ascension
05. Life in the Anthill
06. High to Low
07. Retro Love
08. All the Way
09. I Know I Will
10. The Final Task
11. Surely as the Sun
12. The World Moved Away

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 yo​u

​Lyrics © 2017 Carl Vogelsang

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


​Lyrics © 2017 Carl Vogelsang

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

​​Lyrics © 2017 Carl Vogelsang

04. Ascension
I see your doubts start to gather
They're like clouds on the horizon 
Your face now tells a story
A loss of all contemplation 

Don't seal your mind
What you need, ascension

Now you're freed of all their suspicion
No more soul investigation 
Time to smile for the fallen 
Only new days now are a calling

Don't seal your mind
What you need, ascension 

Only you can dance away
But we need you to try
Like a moth in the darkness now
All we need is ascension 

Don't seal your mind
What you need, ascension
​ 
Lyrics © 2017 Carl Vogelsang

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

06. High to Low
Wracked my brain 'til I've gone insane
Yet the words just will not flow
If I wanted a life time plan, feel like I need it to grow

I'll tell you everything I feel to get this show on the road
I need the wheels in my mind to roll
Now the seeds have all been sown

High to low, why is it so?
Time to let go, now that we know

There isn't a single path even if the sound has cred
No matter age that time bestows
Your story's to be told

High to low, why is it so?
Time to let go, now that we know

Now that you know, now that you know
Now that you know, now that you know

​Lyrics © 2017 Carl Vogelsang

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 

In retro love, In retro love

​​Lyrics © 2017 Carl Vogelsang

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

​​Lyrics

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

​Lyrics © 2017 Carl Vogelsang

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 

(Repeat)

It's too much, this final task

​​Lyrics © 2017 Carl Vogelsang

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 

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
They will not believe in you
​
​​Lyrics © 2017 Carl Vogelsang

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

The world moved away, (and so they say)
The world moved away
Empire had nothing to say
So let her smile fade, fade away

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

Throw me a line, we have the time
Push 'n pull, I think we'll be fine
Push 'n pull
Throw me a line, we have the time
Push 'n pull, I think we'll be fine
Push 'n pull, it's just a matter of time
Push 'n pull, I think we'll be fine
Push 'n pull
PUSH

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

​​Lyrics © 2011 Carl Vogelsang

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)

​Lyrics © 2011 Carl Vogelsang

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

​Lyrics © 2011 Carl Vogelsang

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

​​Lyrics © 2011 Carl Vogelsang

06. Blood Red Sky
​
Shine a light, a light of darkness
This shadow soul stalks the gardens
And it feels like, it's gonna bite
Through the bone

Don't let go, don't drift by
In this blood red sky
Don't let go, don't drift by
In this blood red sky

Take a walk, on a parchment road
The painted girl, haunts us all
Now it feels like, it's gonna bite
Through the bone

Don't let go, don't drift by
In this blood red sky
Don't let go, don't drift by
In this blood red sky

We should dance, in the desert
Hope to find, my redemption

Now don't let go, don't drift by
In this blood red sky

Don't let go, don't drift by
In this blood red sky

​Lyrics © 2011 Carl Vogelsang

07. The Sweet Lie
I could never be with you
You would always see right through
E
very 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
T
hey 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

​​Lyrics © 2011 Carl Vogelsang

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

My old enemy won't leave me alone
My old enemy won't leave me alone
My old enemy won't leave me alone

Leave me alone
​

​Lyrics © 2011 Carl Vogelsang

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

​Lyrics © 2011 Carl Vogelsang

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 

​Lyrics © 2011 Carl Vogelsang

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

​Lyrics © 2011 Carl Vogelsang

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

​Lyrics © 2011 Carl Vogelsang

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
