1. Echoes Down The Stairway
You know I hide
Behind the walls that I define
And I pray
To the gods that I call mine
And I wait
I sleep, I wake, I die inline
And that’s just fine
The lights are bright
They light up the entire square
But I’m a ghost
Glide in and out of everywhere
I’m a dragon
Hiding in his lair
Are you still there?
My head in your hands
The weight of my dreams
Buried in sand
All is not what is seems
The pain in those eyes
The deserts I’ve crossed
I’m in disguise
All our innocence lost
Echoes down the stairway
The taste of blood left in my mouth
Won’t you come and lift me
From all the fear and doubt
You know I hide
Behind the wall that I define
And I pray
To the Gods that I call mine
And I wait
I sleep, I wake, I die inline
And that’s just fine
My head in your hands
The weight of my dreams
Buried in sand
All is not what is seems
The pain in those eyes
The deserts I’ve crossed
I’m in disguise
All our innocence lost
Echoes down the stairway
The taste of blood left in my mouth
Won’t you come and save me
From all the fear and doubt
Echoes down the stairway
The taste of blood left in my mouth
Won’t you come and save me
From all the fear and doubt
2. The Ice Storm
The ice storm
Is coming our way
Blood red skies
Are here to stay
In the black
I can’t see or be seen
And our love
And all the space in between
It’s the winter of the world
And I want you to know
I tried the best I could
This is as far as I could go
In the ice storm
I lost, I lost my faith
And in your eyes
I die, I die a thousand lives
In the ice storm
I lost, I lost my faith
And in your eyes
I die, I die a thousand lives
The ice storm
Has covered the world
Violence
Rage and fury unfurled
You’d better run now for your life
Before it’s too late
Run and don’t look back
We make our own fate
In the ice storm
I lost, I lost my faith
And in your eyes
I die, I die a thousand lives
In the ice storm
I lost, I lost my faith
And in your eyes
I die, I die a thousand lives
3. To Be Saved
Tell me a secret
But don’t tell me your name
I’ll be your best friend tonight
If you’ll be the same
I’ll show the dark side
Of this city’s streets
There’s tune in my head
It never stops, just repeats
What have we become?
Dancing around this funeral pyre
With one foot in the grave
Of all those dreams we had
Have we waited too long?
For any to be saved
To be saved
I’ll wait for the darkness
Where I can’t be seen
To get lost in this jungle
This God-like machine
I’ve never seen you before
I’ll never see you again
But I’ll be your best friend tonight
If you’ll be the same
What have we become?
Dancing around this funeral pyre
With one foot in the grave
Of all the dreams we had
Have we waited too long?
For any to be saved
To be saved
All the things
That I wanted to be
Are now the ghosts
That haunt my dreams
All the things
(What have we become?)
That I wanted to be
(Dancing around this funeral pyre)
Are now the ghosts
(With one)
That haunt my dreams
(foot in the grave)
Of all the dreams we had
Have we waited too long?
For any to be saved
To be saved
4. Abyss
You found me in my darkest hour
I was naked I was cold
The storm raged with the power
Of the confines of my mold
Tell me if you died this moment
Would regret overshadow joy
There may be time for life’s atonement
In every man there is still a child
And the abyss you stare into
Stare long enough and it will be a part of you
At the centre of the dome
Sleeps the bull that will cut the thread that leads you home
5. The Pearls She Wore
Love, fear
Intertwined
I think I'm losing my mind
I think I'm losing my mind
Fear, love
In my veins
He bows his head down in shame
he bows his head down in shame
The pearls she wore shone like stars in the sky
Stay with me he said with tears in his eyes
The pearls she wore shone like stars in the sky
Stay with me he said with tears in his eyes
Wake, breathe
In a dream
Into the dark night he screams
Into the dark night he screams
Breathe, wake
In his arms
He swears he meant her no harm
He swears he meant her no harm
The pearls she wore shone like stars in the sky
Stay with me he said with tears in his eyes
The pearls she wore shone like stars in the sky
Stay with me he said with tears in his eyes
In his eyes
6. Circles
Tell me how you feel
I know it's been a while
Tonight you're at the wheel
Mile after mile
When everything you love is lost
And all the love you got had a cost
Do you know who you've become
Do you still know who you are?
Going around in circles
You haven't come that far
7. Through The Haze
Did you do what you were told
When the world stopped and you heart grew cold
Did you feel it in your blood, did you feel it
The weight of her love
The irony behind
The endless fight for some piece of mind
The cracks in life, the cracks in you
The closing gates, that we walk through
I'll meet you where you run to hide
(there is no right or wrong)
I'll meet you again on the other side
(there is no right or wrong)
How long before love conquers pride
(there is no right or wrong)
I'll meet you where you run to hide
Do what you are told
Do what you are told
Do what you are told
Do what you are told
8. Going To Wait
Sell your ideals, sell your precious soul
For the highest price
The light is out, this room is too cold
You won’t be asked twice
In my dreams I come around again
In my dreams I see you my friend
The sky’s a deep dark hole
In the fire my sins are burned
In the fire I see you my friend
And the places where we’re from
I’m going to wait
I’m going to wait
I’m going to wait
I’m going to wait
Sell your ideals, sell your precious soul
You won’t be asked twice
In my dreams I come around again
In my dreams I see you my friend
The sky’s a deep dark hole
In the fire my sins are burned
In the fire I see you my friend
And the places where we’re from
I’m going to wait
I’m going to wait
I’m going to wait
I’m going to wait
(I fall I crawl I shout your name)
I’m going to wait
(now it’s getting late)
I’m going to wait
(the lights the fights the blood on the floor)
I’m going to wait
(I’m just going to wait)
(I fall I crawl I shout your name)
I’m going to wait
(now it’s getting late)
I’m going to wait
(the lights the fights the blood on the floor)
I’m going to wait
(I’m just going to wait)
9. In The Dying Light
The stones in my hand
The wind on my face
Time out of mind
Loneliness love
Loneliness now
Love makes us blind
As the dying light turns everything
Into an outline into a ghost
The night is coming and it brings
The thoughts we fear the most
I’m digging a hole
To bury the guilt
The signs that I stole
The light flickers above
In this cell a hard bed
A spoon and a bowl
As the dying light turns everything
Into an outline into a ghost
The night is coming and it brings
The thoughts we fear the most
And in the darkness
I can’t see you or be seen
Bend your truth too far
And it starts splitting at the seams
The night is falling
And in the dying light the doubt
Like a bug it comes out crawling
Like a preacher it starts to shout
As the dying light turns everything
Into an outline into a ghost
The night is coming and it brings
The thoughts we fear the most
10. Tear Us Apart
Will you take my hand?
On this night of terror
Will you cover my eyes?
Take me in your embrace
Be my home my shelter
Tell me the sweetest lies
Love will tear us apart
And glue us together again
It throws us back to the start
Alone to face our shame
I dive into this flow
Let it carry me far
Away from this noise
I’m covered in the glow
Of a burning star
All I am this voice
Can I touch you
Real or dream
Can I call you
In a whisper or scream
Can I touch you
Real or dream
Can I call you
In a whisper or scream
Love will tear us apart
(Is there ever peace?)
And glue us together again
(Is there ever peace?)
It throws us back to the start
(Is there ever peace?)
Alone to face our shame
Love will tear us apart
(Is there ever peace?)
And glue us together again
(Is there ever peace?)
It throws us back to the start
(Is there ever peace?)
Alone to face our shame
11. She Cries
Darkened alleyways, quiet streets
The sounds of the city at night
Her face in neon
Red and white
Beauty hiding inside these walls
Tired eyes that find it hard to sleep
The vows we break
The vows we keep
She cries
In the night, when she closes her eyes
How to appease
The beast within
She’ll fly when she jumps
From oh so high
When loneliness explodes
It covers everything, everything
(And now she knows it’s time to go)
She cries
(And now she knows it’s time to go)
In the night, when she closes her eyes
(Now she knows the waves)
How to appease
(will take her home)
The beast within
(And now she knows it’s time to go)
She’ll fly when she jumps
(And now she knows it’s time to go)
From oh so high
(Now she knows the waves)
When loneliness explodes
(will take her home)
It covers everything, everything
12. Train
Are feeing well?
Or do you have too much to remember?
Are you running scared
Fate needs noone to defend her
And you might be right
But it doesn't matter in the slightest
It's in the morning light
That her colours shine the brightest
And it's the ones we love
We hurt the most
The moments glide through us
Like a ghost
As the world slows down
Do you hear your heart't loud beating
A smile and a frown
A gentle touch that is fleeting
The sirens call
Their sweetest lullaby
Will take the fall
Or you will sail on by?
And it's the ones we love
We hurt the most
The moments glide through us
Like a ghost
And it's the ones we love
We hurt the most, we hurt the most
And they glide through us like a ghost
Glide through us like a ghost, glide through like a ghost
And it's the ones we love
We hurt the most
Moments glide through us
Like a ghost
