- A Handful of Doubt
Seven hours
and a handful of doubt
The candle burns quick now
and time is running out
I never asked for this
yet somehow here we are
I never asked for this
now I can’t live without
- A Pleasant Shade of Gray Part II
are you listening
am i here screaming?
drowning in a silent sea
or only dreaming?
drifting in and out
his mind never rests
lying in shadows
- A Pleasant Shade of Gray Part IX
stayed up late last night
lying here in bed
looking for words
to say the things i left unsaid
wind at my window
whispers to me instead
and i lie alone
writing letters in my head
- A Pleasant Shade of Gray Part V
murdered in munich
crucified in rome
was killing time
on the long road home
let nothing bleed into nothing
and did nothing
let nothing bleed into nothing
- A Pleasant Shade of Gray Part VII
stare from the darkness
hear the silence call?
devise divisions, delay decisions,
watch the hours crawl and...
let nothing bleed into nothing
and do nothing?
let nothing bleed into nothing
- Anarchy Divine
Enter, young man
Welcome
Cast your dreams, I'll show you what to feel
Walk but keep the road I've paved
Know of nothing else
I, the one to guide your mind
I breed in stealth
- Another perfect day
You tell me you love me
And I wonder why
The sun is overhead
But I can't see past the clouds in my eye
You show me what is real
And I just pretend
Another perfect day
And I wonder how it all will end
- At Fate's Hands
Ours is the cry of the helpless, told
in the timeless truth of the written word.
Trapped by the tempest of the blind
our muted calls can't be heard.
Helpless as we stand
amidst the push of thoughtless hands.
We are adrift without direction
in a raging storm on a calm sea.
- Chasing Time
I've watched in silence, without seeing
as a stranger within me grew.
Detached and distanced from the day
while youth's precious years flew.
Chasing time through empty skies
of endless hours,
living for the future.
- Circles
I thought I reached the final stage,
Time enough now to catch my breath.
Holding on to each fleeting moment,
Until the winds of change come blowing through.
And all the things I
Thought I needed
Go sailing out of you.
- Disconnected Part 2
"I say to you, there is only one way in which the world can be saved from itself and that is by the realisation that love overcometh all things.
That those who have gone before you are concerned for you, each one.
We come back to your world endeavouring to break down the barriers that you have created by foolishness and ignorance over the centuries and we knock at your door, hoping and praying that you will open just a little, that we may enter therein and save you from yourselves.
I think we were disconnected"
- Eye To Eye
I saw YOU once again last night
through a sea of sullen faces
admiring eyes following
the path that the spotlight traces
eye to eye
and the miles still divide
eye to eye
- Falling Further
Take away the part of me
That makes me feel that makes me see
The things that I don't want to be
At least I know that I can count on you
A step ahead I step behind
The things I fear, I've crossed the line
Into a world where I feel blind
- Guardian
Guardian
These walls are stained engraved with pain
You will find them under shadows casting shame
Some it's all they'll ever know,
Angels of the fortunate sons come and go...
You may not
Entities pass in the night Guardians and the
- Heal Me
I move in slow motion
And the world is no longer at my heels
I wither and falter somehow
I wither and fall silent now
Sometimes I say too much
Even when there is no one listening
- Into The Black
Into The Black
[Matheos/Alder]
Night is fallen above me, fallen
And I cling to hope and fate
Lingering passions calling
Now it seems they cannot wait
- Island In The Stream
Have you stood at the edge of the world
where the sea and sky collide
looked out to a distant horizon
and dreamed of drifting away
Have you stood beneath a troubled sky
and watched the dark clouds gathering
closed your eyes to the threatening tide
- Kiss of Death
High priest, the man you look for
prays in the garden tonight, tonight.
Conceived by immaculate conception,
King Nazareen creator of light.
Healing cripples,
gives sight to the blind,
transforms himself,
he's not of our kind.
- Kneel And Obey
Feel waters rise
Sink down below
Kneel and obey
Breath deep the flow
When the book is open wide
Bow down and pray
Salvation's what you need
- Kyrie Eleison
Never thought my time was coming
Wasn't in my dreams
Twice I visioned I was falling down,
Down to the ground, I screamed out loud,
Woke on a cloud.
Never really a holy man even though
I understand the father son and Holy Ghost
He's the on that scares me most
- Leave The Past Behind
and here we are again the door is closed behind us
and the long road lies ahead
where do we go from here
it's time to make a change
lets trace the problem to its source
no more riding the waves
on a river that's run its course
- Left Here
Left here long ago
was passing through the years
I was waiting for the day
chasing a distant star
while the sun just slipped away
Lost my way long ago
was running in circles
- Life In Still Water
feeling the weight of unseen chains
this routine is growing thin
it's a narrow path that we walk
and the walls are closing in
caving in
is there room still for us to grow
within the bounds we've come to know
- Monument
there's a blind desire there's a drive
there's a need to leave some lasting feat
something to hold, something to keep
a monument to complete
there's a written page there's a book
there's a search for something to say
something to share, something to speak
- One
Under the spotlight
I feel our world becoming one
Around me I feel
Everything we are everything we see
I'll take a part of you
You take a part of me
Knowing at a glance
- Orphan Gypsy
Young warrior to the drunken gallery slave
Running with the wind running wayward knave
I'm a vagabond with a maelstrom mind
My blood has left me behind
So go away leave me alone.
If you look in my eyes you see only stone
I won't let you in I can lock you out,
In your world, your fallacy, I don't want desolate
- Pale Fire
Walking through a wasteland of words and memories
Looking for the person I used to be
Thoughts I don't recognize make me realize
Times have changed and so have I
And a familiar fear comes back to me
Pale fire
Dry land getting drier
- Part VI
I know that I don't know you
And you couldn't know me
But time and space collided
And here we are, here we are
I know that you don't understand
And I can't explain
But circumstance conspired
- Pieces Of Me
I'm lying broken under jagged pieces
Of burned out bridges
Suffocating i can't breathe
No direction
I'm scattered in the breeze
Living on memories
Everywhere i look
- Pirates Of The Underground
So you learn real hard, babe in the woods
Fight for your keep cause
Deep in the dark wolves rip at your heart
As you lie asleep.
Endangered specie of the megahertz
Follow the yellow brick road,
Your Asylum awaits you.
Sign on the dotted line.
- Point Of View
Looking out on a familiar scene
There's no agreement in what we see
Your perception lacks clarify
And my perspective is blinding me
Side by side
Divided they stand
- River Wide Ocean Deep
Her, with her loving eyes
Her, with her open arms
A shelter in the night
As we drift into sleep
A soothing voice singing
River wide ocean deep
Her, with her vacant eyes
- Shelter Me
Talk, talk to me, tell me your secrets
Speak, speak the words I need to hear
Help to conquer this growing fear
And when the winds of change come blowing through
And all the things I thought I needed
Go sailing out of view . . .
Shelter, shelter me
- So
[Music & lyrics: Matheos]
Feeling so strong
I feel so inspired
Like a man with all the words
I could move the world
If I weren't so tired
- Soldier Boy
Little soldier, plastic pistol
aiming for the head.
Now you see me, now you don't.
You missed me, you're dead.
Laughing, hiding in the bushes,
scatter for your life.
Little soldier tripped and fell,
get him with your knife.
- Still Remains
Still remains
Matheos
I had so much to say
But no words to speak
The feelings were strong
But i was only weak
- The Apparition
When the stars are right and you're alone
Take a journey, lock the world tight
Out of your mind.
The hall beckons your presence, the doors
Open wide you're to decide to turn back.
Deep the bowels of this black abyss.
Compelled I just can't resist it, take me
- The Calling
A cry shivers the night, a voice in agony
that shrieks above the trees.
In a land where no one comes
in a land where spirits dwell,
hear their fatal screams.
The old man clutches his heart
as he looks to the window,
he knows his time has come.
- The Ivory Gate of Dreams
I Innocence (instrumental)
II Cold Daze
The coldness of confusion
Hangs in the morning air as
Brazen bells ring reality
To announce the conquerer dawn
- The Road Goes On Forever
Its so cold in the shadow of distant lights
And the chilling wind slows our pace and tests our will
Still a voice whispers it will be over soon
And there we find the courage to climb the hill
Sometimes I lose sight of where i'm going
Fanned by a flame I can't remember
But distant lights still burn bright
- The Strand
The more I try
The more I feel I'm missing
The more I run
The more my feet keep slipping
The more I think
The more I tend to worry
The more I look
I see my thoughts before me
- Through Different Eyes
We're walking within a shadow
Where echoes of different times resound
Looking for memories to relive
In yesterdays that can't be found.
Through different eyes
We keep looking for what we lack.
Changing minds
- We Only Say Goodbye
today was the end of a dream
as I watched your shadow disappear
another moment for the memory
as we lose another year
thought I heard You call my name
but YOU only said goodbye
- Wish
Was standing in the darkness
I was watching over you
And all the fears came drifting back
with every little breath you drew
Wished upon a falling star
cold and pale against the night
and all the fears came drifting back
to cloud the view and steal the light
- Without A Trace
What lurks behind the minds of men,
The switch is triggered once again.
A silent rage makes the front page
A work of art so neatly done homicide
Cannot decide was it accident was it suicide
She's just a face without a name never made
It home. They found her car down by
