Hello, Can you take me home?
I followed the rabbit and now I am lost and alone
Please, Caught in a dream
Locked in a nightmare that's all closing in on me

Is this the end of the line my friend?
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna go
Cant stop the fire burning in my head
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna know anymore
I don't wanna go

I, I feel paralyzed
Fetal position, I can't get you out of my mind
Fear, It's creeping near
Paranoid visions of two things becoming unclear

Is this the end of the line my friend?
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna go
Cant stop the fire burning in my head
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna know anymore
I don't wanna go

Is this the end of the line my friend?
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna go
Can't stop the fire burning in my head
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna know anymore


Is this the end of the line my friend?
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna go
Can't stop the fire burning in my head
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna know anymore


Is this the end of the line my friend?
Is this the end of the line my friend?

True love
A silver heart upon a chain
In 1980 was engraved
A heart so innocent
Before you knew a world of pain
Before you learned to be afraid
And lived through times so cruel
But you can start again
For what you mean to me
No words they can explain

I've been trying to discover
Something that can last forever
We're two fools who stand divided
You and I should be united
True, true love

I watch you dance across the room
Your eyes are closed, so beautiful
You're in another place
The music has enraptured you
So free of cares, I wish that you
Could always feel this way
Oh we can start again
For what you mean to me
I'll never walk away

I've been trying to discover
Something that can last forever
We're two fools who stand divided
You and I should be united
Don't be scared of your emotions
I will give you my devotion
True, true love

True love
A silver heart upon a chain
In 1980 was engraved
A heart so innocent
Yeah we can start again
For what you mean to me
No-one could take your place

I've been trying to discover
Something that can last forever
We're two fools who stand divided
You and I should be united
I've been trying to discover
Something that can last forever
Don't be scared of your emotions
I will give you my devotion
True, true love

. . .


On the wind the ashes rise
I've been searching for you all of my life
Tears are welling in your eyes
Listen to me Daddy, you don't need to cry
For I know one of these days
I will travel there among the vast array and take my place

Here we go
we'll leave all fear behind
Sailing into the sun
This is our time
Death and glory
Supreme sacrifice
We will meet again
On the other side
Rising into the light

We can't wait, there is no time
You cannot predict when lightning will strike
There's no chance to hesitate
Destiny has looked you straight in the face and called your name

Here we go
we'll leave all fear behind
Sailing into the sun
This is our time
Death and glory
Supreme sacrifice
We will meet again
On the other side
Rising into the light
We'll meet again
Be released in the end

Here we go
we'll leave all fear behind
Sailing into the sun
This is our time
Death and glory
Supreme sacrifice
We will meet again
On the other side

Come on
We're going into the light

Here we go
we'll leave all fear behind
Sailing into the sun
This is our time
Death and glory
Supreme sacrifice
We will meet again
On the other side

. . .


Light up, spark the detonator
Now I'm homeward bound, way to see you later
If you make that step you're the instigator
Got my mind made up, I'll be your navigator
If you want me to travel over moonlit miles
For a precious smile
Following my lonely heart
Call on me, take me...

Far over the seas
I return in my dreams
Sailing home under the stars
To be safe in your arms
Ever near, travel through time
Ever close in my mind
Say you will truly be mine
Say you'll always be mine

We are a winning combination
We're two stars aligned in a constellation
When I get too low you're my inspiration
Never let me down, you're a revelation
One that comes along once in a lifetime
Oh I realise
You give me love free and wild
Oh my child, lead me...

Far over the seas
I return in my dreams
Sailing home under the stars
To be safe in your arms
Ever near, travel through time
Ever close in my mind
Say you will truly be mine
Say you'll always be mine

Our empire stretches from the deserts
To the ice fields
Love and courage can take us anywhere
We dare to go

Far over the seas
I return in my dreams
Sailing home under the stars
To be safe in your arms
Ever near, travel through time
Ever close in my mind
Say you will truly be mine
Say you'll always be mine

It's better to have sweet dreams about her and forget it all in the morning
It's better to have sweet dreams about her and forget it all in the morning

Dreams
They fade, disappear in the light
They're lost when you open your eyes
She's somewhere out there Out of reach and out of sight

It's sweeter to stay true to what we knew and to live in the world without her
It's sweeter to stay true to what we knew and to live in the world without her

Dreams
When you wake, disappear in the light
They're lost when you open your eyes
She's somewhere out there Out of reach and out of sight

Somewhere out there
Walking in this neighbourhood
Leading our parallel, never-touching lives
Lives that seem as ephemeral and fleeting as our dreams

Dreams
They fade, disappear in the light
They're lost when you open your eyes
She's somewhere out there
Out of reach and out of sight

It's better to have sweet dreams about her and forget it all in the morning
It's better to have sweet dreams about her and forget it all in the morning

. . .


Spinning out into the void
Waking up and feeling like you've been destroyed
Thirty-one nights of suicide
Near obliterated but you're still alive

Fearless state of mind
If you believe then you will never die

I can feel you
In my mind
I am feeling
So alive

In the shadows of death and gloom
Hiding seeking solace in the catacombs
Dead and resurrected in a foreign land
Reincarnated as a hawk-like man

Fearless state of mind
If you create then you will never die

I can feel you
In my mind
(I am feeling
So alive)
When the storm is breaking
And the ghosts are walking
When the walls are shaking
Watch the stars exploding

In the nightmares of the paranoid
Shaking in the fallout from the asteroid
Every waking minute learning mind control
Soar over the ocean and release your soul

(I can feel you
In my mind
I am feeling
So alive)
When the storm is breaking
And the ghosts are walking
When the walls are shaking
Watch the stars exploding
When the storm is breaking
And the ghosts are walking
When your heart is aching
Watch the stars exploding
Watch the stars exploding

. . .


Somebody save our souls
We can't afford to lose
You end up hurting me
I end up hurting you

Lay down your arms
Give in to me
You no longer are my enemy
Yeah
Drop your defences and come in peace
Oh, the only way to win is to surrender to me

Here comes another storm
You should be close to me
When you are in my arms
It feels like victory yeah

Lay down your arms
Give in to me
You no longer are my enemy
Yeah
Drop your defences and come in peace
Oh, the only way to win is to surrender

So forget this code of honour
Can't take this any longer
You're not here fighting a war alone
I am here on your side

I am not bulletproof
You're gonna take me down
just let me in your heart
Come on let's work it out yeah

Lay down your arms
Give in to me
You no longer are my enemy
Yeah
Drop your defences and come in peace
Oh, the only way to win is to surrender
The way to win is to surrender
The only way to win is to surrender to me

Pripyat

There's silence in the air
There's silence in the ground
A presence moving through the rivers in the moonlight
Desolation all around
The wind blows through abandoned buildings
Photos scattered on the floors
Possessions of a vanished population
Safe haven for my soul

I hate to watch you destroy yourself
I can't leave you here on your own
It's the strangest thing I've ever felt
All alone in the dead zone
Nature is now reclaiming
Secrets time will never tell
I listen to the deafening silence
In the beautiful lost citadel

In the land of wolves
The horses run free
In the cemetery of the future
That's where I want to be
I'm running from the world
In the falling black rain
Monuments of the old regime
Are all that remain

I hate to watch you destroy yourself
I can't leave you here on your own
It's the strangest thing I've ever felt
All alone in the dead zone
Nature is now reclaiming
Secrets time will never tell
I listen to the deafening silence
In the beautiful lost citadel

Come find me my one
They stole the fire from the gods and they brought it down here to burn
The city of the future overthrown
Where we can be alone

I hate to watch you destroy yourself
I can't leave you here on your own
It's the strangest thing I've ever felt
All alone in the dead zone
I hate to watch you destroy yourself
I can't leave you here on your own
It's the strangest thing I've ever felt
All alone in the dead zone
Nature is now reclaiming
Secrets time will never tell
I listen to the deafening silence
In the beautiful lost citadel
The beautiful lost citadel

. . .


Ichiban

You will succeed
Oh I believe
You're transmitting electricity

All the time
I've got in mind
Such a deathly desire

Got an appetite
A yearning to be free
Honey when you coming over to see me?

Oh I believe
You ain't naive
You should be getting what you need

Wanna find
What's on your mind
Such a deathly desire

Got an appetite
A yearning to be free
Honey when you coming over to see me?

Go!

Got an appetite
A yearning to be free
Honey when you coming over to see me?
I got a need to feel your electricity
Honey when you coming over to see me?

Gallows Hill


Premonition
Plunged into the darkness
Of the midnight sea
Underwater
In my sleep
Can't break the surface of this dream


Crystal Ballroom
Golden light
We're snowed in on this fateful night
It grows dark and suddenly
I'm on my own


Revelation
The immortals will return from Gallows Hill
In the shadows
Incarnations of past lives
That haunt me still


Constellations guiding you
Cascading light
So clear and true
It's OK, you will be safe
Your heart is pure


Wondering
If I am dreaming
The magic comes undone
Waking up
The spell is broken
In the summer sun


Apparition
In a trance
I see the shores of far off lands
Through the tempest hear the sirens
Still I'm in a state of calm


Lightning sends a warning sign
That it's too late to change your mind
Cast adrift out on the sea of make believe


Wondering
If I am dreaming
The magic comes undone
Waking up
The spell is broken
In the summer sun


At your mercy
On the waves
When the storm hits in a violent rage
My will was tested
My strength was drained
I somehow always find a way to escape


Apparition
On the deck
I lie and look up at the stars
Summon you in secrecy
Through memories of who you are


Wondering
If I am dreaming
The magic comes undone
Waking up
The spell is broken
In the summer sun
Wondering
If I am dreaming
The magic comes undone
Waking up
The spell is broken
In the summer sun

. . .


Deadly venom, you feeling alright?
You fast forward into the light
Back to the future, we don't have much time
Flip the switches, let's go for a ride
Pure psychotic, I'm leaving the ground
I love this city, I live for this town
Going crazy, reading your mind
Out of orbit, we'll do it tonight

I'm getting out at five and I wanna go
I Want to feel alive

Space shot baby, out of control
We're out of control, yeah, out of control
Everything that you wanted to kno
You wanted to know, you never wanted to know

Sub zero, fifty below
Can't take the pressure, it's going to blow
Automatic, get in the flow
Think I'm mutating, just so you know
Check the exit, time to escape
Over Europe, across the states
The world is crazy, who can deny
To the limit, we'll do it tonight

I'm getting out at five and I wanna go
I Want to feel alive

Space shot baby, out of control
We're out of control, yeah, out of control
Everything that you wanted to know
You wanted to know, you never wanted to know
Space shot baby, out of control
We're out of control, yeah, out of control
Everything that you wanted to know
You wanted to know, you don't want to know

The time is right
We're doing it tonight
Getting out at five
Getting out alive
Gonna show you what I mean now

Space shot baby, out of control
We're out of control, yeah, out of control
Everything that you wanted to know
You wanted to know, you never wanted to know
Space shot baby, out of control
We're out of control, yeah, out of control
Everything that you wanted to know
You wanted to know, you don't want to know



We're outta, we're outta control

. . .


The faint glimmer of the stars
The entrance of the night
Shadows fill my heart
The moon is on the rise
Yearning with desire
To feel a spark inside
Illuminate this void
Set the stars alight
In the air tonight
Feel it come alive
In the city lights I won't feel alone
When you hurt inside
When you wonder why
Leave it all behind
In the afterglow that follows

Do you believe in fate?
A hand that guides your way
Voices calling you
Secrets that await
Moments that define
And change the course of your life
Forces that conspire
Suddenly align

In the air tonight
Feel it come alive
In the city lights I won't feel alone
When you hurt inside
When you wonder why
Leave it all behind
In the afterglow
It could change your life
If our stars collide
If you do not try will never know
Feel your spirit rise
Feel the fire inside
See it in your eyes
Who knows where we'll be tomorrow

Chaos on the inside
Momentary landslide
Seconds slow to half time
Lightning runs through my mind
Standing in a spotlight
Locking onto your eyes
Suddenly I realise
I don't have to think twice
As the world falls away

In the air tonight
Feel it come alive
In the city lights I won't feel alone
When you hurt inside
When you wonder why
Leave it all behind
In the afterglow
It could change your life
If our stars collide
If you do not try will never know
Feel your spirit rise
Feel the fire inside
See it in your eyes
Who knows where we'll be tomorrow

. . .


Waking up and fearing that I'll never get back into my sleeping
Haunted by the darker, hidden sides of the family
The silence and repression and unspoken old secrets come a-creeping
The oh so clean, golden dream is not what it used to be
Oh no no

Lying in a darkened room the first time I hear my voice speaking
You are next in line the golden child, try to remind him "keep breathing"
Scared to hell, the pressure, conform to common sense
Cut off from your past, you're disconnected from yourself
Reach beneath the surface, it's time that you started believing

In the shadow of the mountains, in a graveyard, the ancestors are sleeping
I used to feel that everything I knew here could fit in my hand
Linoleum and empty rooms, suburbian dreams were running deeper
So naive that I believed the kingdom was at my command
Oh no no

Lying in a darkened room the first time I hear my voice speaking
You are next in line the golden child, try to remind him "keep breathing"
Scared to hell, the pressure, conform to common sense
Cut off from your past, you're disconnected from yourself
Reach beneath the surface, it's time that you started believing

Lying in a darkened room the first time I hear my voice speaking
You are next in line the golden child, try to remind him "keep breathing"
Scared to hell, the pressure, conform to common sense
Cut off from your past, you're disconnected from yourself
Reach beneath the surface, it's time that you started revealing

. . .


Goddess of love
Come to my side
I'm overcome, I cannot hide
My lonely heart
Longs for your touch
The thought alone is not enough

Craving for the sun, I crave your golden light
Longing for the song, the song of your desire
I crave the taste of wildflower honey on your lips
How can I resist the sweetness of your kiss?

Goddess of love
I yearn to begin
To navigate the vast and wondrous realm within
Enter your mind
Enter your body
Let my light penetrate the deepest of your thoughts

Craving for the sun, I crave your golden light
Longing for the song, the song of your desire
I crave the taste of wildflower honey on your lips
How can I resist the sweetness of your kiss?

Goddess of love
I'm yearning to feel
take my dreams and make them real
My lonely heart
Was dying inside
I want to bloom and come to life
To bloom and come to life

. . .


This ship is taking off
You're going faster, into disaster
Into the dark and far beyond
You're going to hades, in a Mercedes
Drop your bags leave them behind
There's no returning, where you are going
Forsake your soul, forget your mind
a one way ticket, return? you've missed it

All you thought you used to know
All the safety of your home
Any joy you used to own
Shred to pieces in limbo
Now, freak out and die
Your life's a lie

Screaming as the night
Terrors consume your
Fear is their delight
They're here to haunt you
You took the darkness on
And now your mind is gone
Forever lost you'll run
This night has just begun

Where were you? She needed you
The sky was falling! You were appalling!
Some friend, some confidant
You couldn't care less, she was in distress

Now you're in a fucking stew
I'll watch your torment from this view
Your desperate cries will not be heard
Your grip unfolds, no-one cares
Now, freak out and die
Your life's a lie

Screaming as the night
Terrors consume your
Fear is their delight
They're here to haunt you
You took the darkness on
And now your mind is gone
Forever lost you'll run
This night has just begun

Screaming as the night
Terrors consume your
Fear is their delight
They're here to haunt you
Screaming as the night
Terrors consume your
Fear is their delight
They're here to haunt you

. . .


Speak to me, oh tender joy
Latent energy
I've been sleeping through the days
Lost in reverie
Rising upwards from the depths
Secret melodies
Light the torches, light the fires
Show your mysteries

Hey pretty baby, come with me
Drop your guard, let it go
I've been waiting patiently
In the dark, lying low
Oh, everytime i feel this urge
Yeah, I've got to listen close
So I surrender to the surge
Give it up, here we go

Entering an altered state
Close to ecstasy
Carried on a tide of bliss
Sensuality
Senses heightened in the dance
Give in to the beat
I'll be waiting for your kiss
Now tell me that you don't believe

Hey pretty baby, come with me
Drop your guard, let it go
I've been waiting patiently
In the dark, lying low
Oh, everytime i feel this urge
Yeah, I've got to listen close
So I surrender to the surge
Give it up, here we go

Tender angel of the night
Sing your song for me
Fill my spirit, fill my mind
With sweet intensity
Pure abandon overthrow
The reason that governs me
I've been lonely, I've been lost
Waiting for your victory

Hey pretty baby, come with me
Yeah, I've got to lose control
I've been waiting patiently
In the dark, lying low
Oh, everytime i feel this urge
Yeah, I've got to listen close
So I surrender to the surge
Give it up, here we go

. . .


Is this our final destination?
Bide my time, that's my situation
Caught up in your personal battles
Your desires, your desires
If only you could see things more clearly
Through the chaos I wish you could hear me
I stood strong when all others have failed you
I've been a rock, I've been a rock

So why do you want a war with me?
Oh yeah

Identifying with the broken hearted
You want to save the lonely and rejected
Baby could you look a little closer
At one who loves you, the one who loves you

So why do you want a war with me?
Oh yeah

Caught in the firing line
You pulled your heart aside from me
Baby can't you recognise the wounding of my pride i feel?
And will we sacrifice at such a heavy price, our dreams?
Where I've placed all my belief

So why do you want a war with me?
I can give you all you need

. . .


balanced on this fragile edge so you can see over the other side
its not so bad but you'll need that long neck to keep your head above the tide

you try so hard to understand but i don't need no favours
i've never asked for a helping hand i don't need a saviour
as my empire returns to sand

desperate times call for double measures when you've had your fill of guilty pleasures
but is that jugdement proving sober? regrets come hard when its all over
so charge your glasses if you please don't contemplate eternity
its like trying to chase the sunset of endless possibilities

you try so hard to understand but i don't need no favours
i've never asked for a helping hand i don't need a saviour
as my empire returns to sand

tried so hard when i was a child
tried so hard that i blew my mind
never gonna see the light here's why

you try so hard to understand but i don't need no favours
i've never asked for a helping hand i don't need a saviour
all i got is my own mind so i'll sit and watch
my empire return to sand

. . .


Strength, purity of mind
Youth, unconcerned with time
Overflowing spirit full of life
It's all lost

Hope, running free and wild
The will to never look behind
To search for something that you'll never find
It's all gone

Oh, why do you have to dream so hard?
It only breaks your heart

Brave in everything you tried
To the limits of your mind
The hedonistic voyages inside
All in vain

Oh, why do you have to dream so hard?
It only breaks your heart

Reckless heart!
Rebel spirit!
Heights of joy!

Challenge what is possible
You can change the world
Breaking through the speed of light
You will have to pay the price
Call of danger in the night
Chasing falling stars
Wonder what became of us?
You have seen too much
Too much
Too young

Oh, why do you have to dream so hard?
It only breaks your heart

. . .

Do You Feel It?

The Creeps

Escape, escape, you don't know what to do
Delete, I can't delete all I felt for you
Rewind, rewind all that you said to me
We can't go on like this

Playing back this love in my head
What was white as snow now bleeds red
I still smell your scent on my bed
It doesn't feel like its dead

Erase, erase those things you said to me
Repeat, repeat the words I've been set free
Control, control yourself I think I've lost control
Return to me my love

Playing back this love in my head
What was white as snow now bleeds red
I still smell your scent on my bed
It doesn't feel like its dead

Slowly sinking under a weight I cannot take
Denial of the truth, emotions can't be faked
I never wanted out, never wanted to feel this way
Just waiting for the anger

Playing back this love in my head
What was white as snow now bleeds red
I still smell your scent on my bed
It doesn't feel like its dead

. . .


Tearing it up in Tokyo
Feel like I'm home, Arigato
Taking a ride to Sapporo
You're on my mind, oh Kyoto
Coming alive in Osaka
People unite in Niigata
End of the world, Yokohama
Thank you goodnight, Sayonara

Look at your life and shake it up
Find a new love and take it up
If you want it then I will give all my heart to you
If you need me then I will do all that I can do

Feeling the love, Hiroshima
Out of our minds, Fukuoka
Dancing all night in Nagoya
Feeling so fine, Kamakura

Look at your heart and wake it up
Find a new love and break it up
If you want it then I will give all my heart to you
If you need me then I will do all that I can do

Alright!

Landing tonight in Tokyo
Making me smile, Arigato
Give me a sign, Konichiwa
Till the next time, Sayonara

Look at your life and shake it up
Find a new love and take it up
If you want it then I will give all my heart to you
If you need me then I will do all that I can do
If you want it then I will give all my heart to you
If you need me then I will do all that I can do

. . .


Your heart's not even formed but they're picking out your name
The sect and creed you're to believe awaits your tiny frame
They'll never ask to know your mind, just to believe and do so blind
To be a slave, a doctrined child, to quell the wonder of this life

Defy them all, comply and fall
Defy them all, comply and fall

Cast into this space and time, you never asked to know your mind
The universe will deal your hand and through you will understand
But who am I to tell you why came about or why to try
To find a purpose in this life, conspire to live this is your time

Defy them all, comply and fall
Defy them all, comply and fall

Cast into this space and time, you never asked to know your mind
To be a slave, a doctrined child, conspire to live this is your time

. . .


Am I losing control?
An obsessional state has taken hold
Mind, body and soul
I'm under a spell and it's not letting go
Feeling so strange
I don't understand what has suddenly changed
Got me so down
How long will it take til you come around?

What the fuck is going on?
What the fuck is going on?
What the hell is happening in my head?

Is it all in my brain?
I'm starting to fear that I'm going insane
All your secretive lies
Is the way that I'm acting not justified?

What the fuck is going on?
What the fuck is going on?
What the hell is happening in my head?

You're out late at night
Not taking my calls
I feel something ain't right
Out of nowhere
A shock to the system sends me there
I'm lying awake
My mind in a panic
My body shakes
Right to the core
All the subconscious thoughts that I can't ignore

What the fuck is going on?
What the fuck is going on?
What the hell is happening in my head?
What the fuck is going on?
What the fuck is going on?
What the hell is happening in my head?

. . .


We were once alone,
Strangers in a world unknown.
Trying to make our way,
Aimless through life day by day

Where we're going? It doesn't really matter, No!

Haul the sails and set no course
We're on a quest, we've no remorse (no remorse)
These bonds won't break, even on rough seas
We can ride any storm, baby you and me, yeah
You and me, yeah!

I'd like to call you mine
Bonded 'til the end of time
And every step, I'll take with you
Let's face this chaos brave and true

Where we're going? It doesn't really matter, No!

Haul the sails and set no course
We're on a quest, we've no remorse (no remorse)
These bonds won't break, even on rough seas
We can ride any storm, baby you and me, yeah
You and me, yeah!

All aboard now
All aboard,
No turning back, we're
On our own now
On our own,
Gotta take this chance and
Rock this boat yeah,
Rock this boat

Full steam ahead
Come on! Come on! Yeah!

Haul the sails and set no course
We're on a quest, we've no remorse (no remorse)
These bonds won't break, even on rough seas
We can ride any storm, baby you and me, yeah
You and me, yeah!
You and me, yeah!

Insects, all these insects
They come crawling across your floor
They are lurking in every corner
You can't ignore them anymore
Their eyes watch you while you're sleeping
They colonise your very skin
Now you feel your throat constricting
Feel the panic kicking in

You can't run away from yourself
You can't run away from yourself
You can't run away from yourself

Insects, all these insects
That you face when you're alone
All your failings, inhibitions
They take hold and don't let go
Just like insects, a plague of insects
On the city streets below
All the swarming crowds of people
Multiplying, out of control

You can't run away from yourself
You can't run away from yourself
You can't run away from yourself

Neurotic revulsion
Subconscious compulsions
Infernal impulses
Such vivid hallucinations
Nightmarish fixations
Figments of your imagination
You don't deserve love
You feel you're worthless
In denial
Psychosis
Break the cycle
The power lies within

You can't run away from yourself
You can't run away from yourself
You can't run away from yourself
You can't run away from yourself
You can't run away from yourself
You can't run away from yourself

Sweet seduction, no introduction
Over passionate reproduction
Give me action, chain reactions
I need love, I need satisfaction
Try to haze me, It won't phase me
Does not compute
I may be crazy
Risks we're taking
New ground we're breaking
Uh-oh Uh-oh
The walls are shaking

Acceleration, pumping your heart
Having your mind delicately blown apart
We've got this moment, let's get it right
I have the same dreams every night
Alright, you feel it
Alright, believe
There's no limit what we can achieve
The end and beginning, the rise and the fall
We have the chance to seize it all

Pornographic infiltration
What's the equation?
I don't know
Persuasion, stage invasion
Give me love, give me inspiration
Come whatever, cos forever
Does not compute
Let's get together
The floor's pulsating
There's no more waiting
Uh-oh Uh-oh
The walls are shaking

Acceleration, pumping your heart
Having your mind delicately blown apart
We've got this moment, let's get it right
I have the same dreams every night
Alright, you feel it
Alright, believe
There's no limit what we can achieve
The end and beginning, the rise and the fall
We have the chance to seize it all

Alright
Alright
It's not time to say goodbye
Alright
Alright
This is our moment
We're free tonight

Acceleration, pumping your heart
Having your mind delicately blown apart
We've got this moment, let's get it right
I have the same dreams every night
(Alright) Regeneration
(Alright) If you believe
There's no limit what we can achieve
The end and beginning, the rise and the fall
We have the chance to seize it all

. . .


are you waging war? you just don't know yourself
what are you crying for? a loss of innocence
why are you shaking? cos nothing makes sense
is there anything to say in your defence?

serendipity its a new one on me
a new word whispered by dylan's new queen
it took a while for me to believe
but things unlooked for are coming to me

you left me bruised and battered but didn't break my heart
cos i've seen things you won't believe since we fell apart

now i can't be bothered to empathise
lightning bolt epiphany made me realise
bliss under moonlight of new foreign lands
waiting for the touch of her long fingered hands

you left me bruised and battered but you didn't break my heart
i've seen things you won't believe since we fell apart
you gotta go and find yourself but you don't know where to look
i tried so hard to lose myself but i'm done with self abuse

its such a good act but you're no heartbreaker

Physical World
(Words and Music: T. Wheeler)

Come back to the physical world
Come back to the physical world
You're lost in the digital world
You're lost in the digital world

Let's make a real connection
New love, true perfection
Something so meaningful
Face to face
So...

Come back to the physical world
Come back to the physical world
You're lost in the digital world
You're lost in the digital world

Something so mesmerising
Our two hearts colliding
That you can't emulate
On your own
So...

Come back to the physical world
Come back to the physical world
You're lost in the digital world
You're lost in the digital world

Come back to the physical world
Come back to the physical world
You're lost in the digital world
Come back to the physical world

Spheres
(Words: T. Wheeler Music: M. Hamilton/T. Wheeler)

Collision Course, you're set in motion
There can be no turning away
The force of will in this inertia
An inner strength you can't explain
Preparation for the impact
Tell yourself don't be afraid
Remind yourself that all emotion began with an explosion
Therein lies the origin of everything

They tried to infiltrate you
Tried to get inside your head
Sense of something watching over you
Like a spider in it's web
I burnt the letters that you sent me
God I miss my old friends
But every state is not permanent
Yes the truth is evident
Nothing lasts forever
Make the difference

I'm ready to break the hold of oppression keeping down my soul
We're in this together
I need you close
You're not in this alone
Fall down on my knees
Three years under siege
I pray for deliverance
Black clouds hanging low
So heavy with snow
The storm it is imminent

All calm on the surface
Not time to break the silence
Breeze rippling the water
Snow falling in a courtyard
The tension of quiet moments
Zero hour approaching
Feel the build
Anticipation
I'm standing at a border
The future has no shape or form
Can't turn back
Stay on course
Stay on course

I'm ready to break the hold of oppression keeping down my soul
We're in this together
I need you close
You're not in this alone
Fall down on my knees
Three years under siege
I pray for deliverance
Black clouds hanging low
So heavy with snow
The storm it is imminent

The music of the spheres
The music of the spheres
The Shattered idea
You're at the frontier
The Shattered idea
The vision is clear
The feelings of fear
The vision appears
The music of the spheres
The feelings I fear
The falling of tears
The shattered idea
You're trying to get clear
The entrance is near
You're at the frontier
The shadows you fear
The message is clear
The entrance appears
The broken idea
The passing of years
The music of the spheres
The music of the spheres
The falling of tears
The falling of tears
You're at the frontier
The message is clear
You're at the frontier
You're at the frontier
The falling of tears
The music of the spheres
You're trying to get clear
The broken ideas
You're at the frontier
You're at the frontier
The passing of years
The entrance of fear
The grinding of gears
The garden of tears
The feelings of fear
The feelings I fear
The vision is clear
You're trying to get clear
The shattered idea
The broken idea
The shadows you fear
The falling of tears
The feelings I fear
You're at the frontier
The garden of tears
The music of the spheres
The grinding of gears
The vision of fear
The entrance appears
The music of the spheres
The music of the spheres
The music of the spheres

Lights Out

Summer Snow
(Words and Music: T. Wheeler)

Oh I loved you in the sun, in the light of day
What has become of my chosen one?
Season's end, killing time
Unlike everyone
They go walking by
Having their fun
Don't give up without a fight
I want to hear you say
You can overcome, you are the one

Ashes scattered on the breeze
Swirling like summer snow
Came to be so suddenly
Changing everything I know

Your eyes seem so pure
They're crystalline
Secrets untold
Translucent stone
You are in another place
In a distant state
A feeling so strange
Too far away

Ashes scattered on the breeze
Swirling like summer snow
Came to be so suddenly
Changing everything I know

Ashes scattered on the breeze
Swirling like summer snow
Came to be so suddenly
Changing everything I know

Our time is so short
Faster than you know
Fading in the sun
Like summer snow

. . .


Sweet thing, graceful beauty of the seraphim
Baby, I long to feel your breath
Enter in
The sun is setting, shadows lengthening
I turn the .....
???? deep within
I'd love to stay and listen while you sing

It's carnal love that I'm thinking of
I'm addicted to your sweet stuff
It's burning up, I can't get enough
No, I won't let you go

Come to me
All the good things that are wild and free
No, you can't hide or run from your destiny
You come surrender oh so tenderly
Just breathe in deep and feel your soul release

It's carnal love that I'm thinking of
I'm addicted to your sweet stuff
It's burning up, I can't get enough
No, I won't let you go

solo

It's carnal love that I'm thinking of
I'm addicted to your sweet stuff
It's burning up, I can't get enough
No, I won't let you go

It's carnal love that I'm thinking of
I'm addicted to your sweet stuff
It's burning up, I can't get enough
No, I won't let you go

Embers
(Words and Music: T. Wheeler)

Tonight my head is full of memories
Winter storms from sea to frozen sea
Days, decades, weeks, years and centuries
Images and thoughts of you and me

Will you remember the fire?
Will you remember the heat?
Will you remember the feelings?
Will you remember the need?
Will you remember the nights?
When you lay by my side?
Will you remember the passion?
Will you remember the times?

What does it mean to lose you memory?
Your psyche, spirit, soul, your history
The spark, the flame, the fire, the love you feel
Are you still present? it's a mystery

Will you remember the fire?
Will you remember the heat?
Will you remember the feelings?
Will you remember the need?
Will you remember the nights?
When you lay by my side?
Will you remember the passion?
Will you remember the times?

I remember the fire
I will remember the tears
I will remember the silence
I will remember the fears
I will remember the nights
When I lay by your side
I will remember the laughter
I will remember the times

I will remember the fire
I will remember the heat
I will remember the feelings
I will remember the need
I will remember the nights
When I lay by your side
I will remember the passion
I will remember the times

Change Your Name
(Words and Music: R. Mcmurray)

If you ever feel afraid
You can always change your name
It might help you rearrange
Your hopes and dreams for a better future

You know there'll always be a place
For you right here under my doorway

Rise up
You will get stronger
In time you'll no longer feel the pain
Will it ever go away?
Will it ever go away?

You know it feels like such a shame
To let you go, see you walk away
I don't know if you're the same girl that I knew
Or are you a stranger?

You know there'll always be a place
For you right here under my doorway

Rise up
You will get stronger
In time you'll no longer feel the pain
Will it ever go away?
Will it ever go away?

If you ever feel afraid
You can always change your name

Rise up
You will get stronger
We break and all you feel is pain
Will it ever go away?
Rise up
You will get stronger
We break and all is doubt and pain
Will it ever go away?
Will it ever go away?

. . .

Sky Burial

[No lyrics]

. . .


You've blown your final chance
Lost your confidence
Your self-belief has failed
Let you down again
Oh now you have nothing left to lose
Watching your dream die
No more strength to fight
Bombardment of your mind
It hits you from all sides
Where's the light that heralds a new dawn

Don't give up
Your time will come at last
Destiny will make sense of the past
There is hope again

Weathering the storm
A thousand miles from shore
Struggling with your past
Too young to understand
There must be a balance
There's still time

Don't give up
Your time will come at last
Destiny will make sense of the past
There is hope again
There is hope again
