I speak from a place
Where some talk of signs tired superstitions
To drown out the wise
Dark clouds have gathered
To block out the sun all of our sins
To judge us in turn

Mothers and daughters fathers and sons

Before me plays the endless film
Relentless splinters I recall
Each living thing breathes life
Only sentiment remains
To liquid born, from patterns formed
The sand descends with blind intent
Where the river takes me will in time be revealed

Flash backward to the time
Your silhouette disguised
The glow of night's reflection
Your outline locked in phase
Like a vivid, liquid haze
Lit up the night electric
A moment staged for us
Until we turn to dust

It's colder than before
The seasons took all they had come for
Now winter dances here
It seems so fitting don't you think?
To dress the ground in white and grey

It's so quiet I can hear
My thoughts touching every second

A million points of light
Ascending to the sky
Monuments in darkness
Standing watch until the sun will rise

Screaming to an emptiness
How we deified ourselves
With our hands over our eyes

Conceal your deepest worries
Confine your thoughts inside
The walls you built of damaged pride
The light in your eyes failing
Like you're adrift
Like night pretending to be day
These storms subside

A million faces, each a million lies
for each and all a chrome disguise
prompts for action, force reaction
embody promise in a sheen so pure.
Hurt, the measure of blind ambition,
the testament to your singular disease.
Against all wisdom you heed no warning,
your desires giving you away.

Until I should die, until I should break,
Not a god, not a devil my soul shall take.
If I should lie to betray myself,
Then I would damn myself, and my soul forsake.

I don't want fifteen minutes want a whole lot more,
Don't want to suffer the fools and the spoils of war.
I don't want fifteen minutes, or a reason why.

I think back upon the person
I knew you to be
Righting the wrongs in the name
Of all you believed

The one who brought the fight
Who never said die
Never letting fate decide

How many years since you found yourself
Staring at an endless sky?
Unaware of yourself
Who you are and where you're going
Only living
Only breathing
Losing all sense of time
The most fragile of things

Don't tell me it's the end of everything
It always seems the darkest before the light
So fragile and breaking apart
Finding solace in the knowledge
Of what's right
All that's holy, sacred and divine
Guarding over all within it's sight

So much I thought, I'd have to say
though I try to speak, my meaning strays
We can''t avoid the facts that brought us here
I have come to say goodbye

The lies I try to tell with my own eyes
An act of pride, a wilful compromise
Please understand how torn I am

I long to feel my heart burned open wide, 'til nothing else remains
Except the fires from which I came
Like parted souls, divided for an age, awe and wonder I'd embrace
And the world anew again
But now, this picture from me fades
From still's cold hand there's no reprieve, light the fire in me

Shine, shine your light on me

The hallowed lands so far behind
As fleeting dreams still linger
Like distant voices through the rain
Like grains of sand cast from my hands

I never thought I'd go this far
Without a star to cross the seas
So far from shores I'd left behind

Passive fields. January two thousand and twelve. A nation that stands alone.
Cold voices, faces pale, gathered unto their judgement day.
Such words remain unspoken. Such pride remains unbroken.
Just mothers to stand in vain and cry. Tears and medals in the rain.
Shall I recall when justice did prevail? No reason to be found why reason did fail.
The all clear resounding. The way was clear to rebuild this land.
Shall I call on you to guide me well, to see our hopes and dreams fulfilled?
On this day of our ascension.

I know it's hard to tell how mixed up you feel
Hoping what you need is behind every door
Each time you get hurt, I don't want you to change
Because everyone has hopes, you're human after all
The feeling sometimes, wishing you were someone else
Feeling as though you never belong
This feeling is not sadness, this feeling is not joy
I truly understand. Please, don't cry now

I cannot taste the anger
Rage leaves me undone
And vices of the flesh won't satisfy
Innocence could serve us if purity was truth
Forbidden words are like a loaded gun
Conscience won't betray you
When purity is gone
Wounds are worn like medals long adorned

Our domain, this kingdom come
Now godless lands whose ways are lost.
Without the strength to carry on.
All values lost all virtue none
Did you think you would be saved
By burning flags to cleanse yourselves of shame?
Or are you afraid as you stare back at your face?
Are you ashamed, are you afraid

Enveloped in a sentiment
A sound that rushes over me
Engage an impulse to pretend
I have a faith that's pure

Not forgetting what it means to dream
Indulging everything
Entertaining thoughts that I've the strength

Reformation 1. CD 2:
Remixes, Rare & Unreleased (2009)
- Precipice (9)

The hope of my redemption,
is such that I believe that I am free.
To confess would bring me no salvation,
I alone hold the power to forgive me.

Straight ahead, in lines, cannot deviate
Speed maintained at a constant pace
The limit pushed until the limit's break
The senses sharp, no failures, no mistakes

The spark ignites
We're engaging our engines
Only first and best there's no second place

No pride to feel, no waiting country
No parades to line your way
Though your hands may bleed
And your body may lie broken
Every storm must soon give away

Raise your head up high
Raise your head up high

I can almost hear
Your heart in the darkness
How fast it is beating
How close you are to me

I can almost hear
How tensely you are breathing
Out there in the darkness

It seems so long ago now
that I was sitting here
taking in everything
I stopped to look around me
As far as I could see
across this precious land
shadows painted by the sun
I don't think I remember

Set me aflame and cast me free
Away you wretched world of tethers
Through the endless night and day
I have never wanted more.
Always thought that I would stand
Before the faceless name of Justice
Like some law unto myself
Like a child of God again.

Show me the ways, give me the means
To pull away the veil of time
To find the path from which we strayed
To destinations far and wide
Electric streets and railway lines
A line of stations to guide us home

Beneath the metal towers

Lend me your deepest wisdom
Give me a sinner's chance
Learned spirit's, won't you inspire?
Bear all my thoughts and wishes
To sacred places I'd reside
Where hope is born, where hope survives

Oh fallen lovers, won't you rise?

These are not words, they're only feelings
There are no sounds that you can hear
There is no form that you can touch
There are no colors for you to see

The only sound is a distant thunder
A tempest rages so far away from me
I walked for miles and I started running

Procrastinating, pretending to worry
Solving problems by pushing them aside
Wasting time like we've all the
Time in the world

Deliberation instead of solution
Another term for blatant lies
Biding time like we've all the

Deep is the longing in the heart that ever strives
The expanses far and wide that still confine
The simple facts that yet lay waiting to be found
As lost as some forgotten promised land

Consider reasons through long goodbyes
Looking back for one last time

Heaven help us, we've lost control
This should be our finest hour
But we're racing towards the end of days
Pulling back from the brink despite our best efforts
The volume increases and the beat goes on
All the players marching to a different drum
The rhythm of the war dance
The beat goes on

Heaven help us we've lost control
This should be our finest hour
But we're racing towards the end of days
Pulling back from the brink
Despite our best efforts
The volume increases and the beat goes on
All the players marching to a different drum
The rhythm of the war dance and the beat goes on

If you and I had been
Anything less than these tormented souls
We would have never have gone so far
To become what we are

If you and I had never seen the world
Through the eyes of a child
We would never have wanted to stop time

The Carousel begins to slow
I take my chances
So far removed I fail to see;
the recklessness I've shown in all my words and deeds,
the good in other souls I never fail to see

Can you see the lights as far as the eyes can see,
from this point about the world,
