Fill The Night
05:24
|
|||
|
Across the moon and you will see a flash of light, old memories.
Forgotten words, a silent scream,
There’s no escape from what you dream.
In the night, the pale moonlight, do you accede and think of me?
Stars so bright they fill the night from a thousand light years away.
I dream in black and white, a rainbow in the night.
The clock on the mantelpiece is speaking softly to me.
The days are long, the nights go on, But time is not quite what it seems. The clock slows down as darkness falls,
There’s no escape from what you dream.
In the night, the pale moonlight, shadows cross to the other side.
Deep within this heart of mine, I keep a watch. The hands of time.
In the night, the pale moonlight, do you accede and think of me?
Stars so bright they fill the night from a thousand light years away.

The Game
09:28
|
|||
|
Across yonder mountains and a river of time,
A maid once did beckon, For then she was mine.
A love in the darkness so blind.
The darkness lives in my soul. A hunger that’s taken control.
I search for an answer in spite of voices I hear in the night.
The Queen tears a page from her book.
The Knight on his horse takes the rook.
The King sacrifices a pawn, he knows now the game can be won.
Perchance to awaken in a place lost in time.
A life once forsaken. To what’s left behind, a love in the darkness so blind.
The end game doesn’t matter as the King stands alone.
He knows now the day can’t be won.

Autumn
05:29
|
|||
|
Each day that goes by is getting shorter.
The leaves from the trees long since gone.
The voice of the wind is getting stronger.
The sun now lost from sight till the dawn.
I know now that dreams don’t last forever.
The hunger in my soul lingers on. The shadows at night all run together. There’s no one left to tell right from wrong.
Dreaming now under starry skies. The darkness fills in the void.
Birds in flight at the dawn of night as waves crash onto the shore.
I know now that time can’t last forever.
Like cosmic dust, dispersed long ago.
The hours and days all run together.
Forever can take far too long.

The King of Men
07:34
|
|||
|
If I had a time machine, I’d travel back and visit me.
For all the world would not believe How I and me change history.
Time is the king of men, from cradle to the grave.
He gives to them what he will, Not what they crave.
Romancing the dark, the shadows start to glow.
Basking in this hellish light where angels fear to go.
Forking paths and hidden doors, nothing is what it seems.
Herer and now is all we have, the future is but a dream.
Time is the king of men, from cradle to the grave.
He gives to them what he will, not what they crave.
Not what they crave.

Gargoyles
06:38
|
|||
|
A yellow light is shining in my eyes. It keeps the flies away from me.
A troglodyte that fears the night. A heart that’s much too dark to bleed.
I search for shadows in the night, a refuge for my needs.
A drop of blood from my true love will serve to consummate my dreams.
A drop of blood from my true love will serve to consummate my dreams.
A touch of love from God above is sure to consecrate my dreams.
A thousand Gargoyles on this house of God.
They keep our sins from running free.
To guard the cross at any cost and keep the pious on their knees.

Time and Again
09:03
|
|||
|
A thousand clocks to tell the time,
When midnight comes you’ll hear them chime.
The present now is all we see, the past is locked in history.
But what if I could see the light? Remove the darkness from our sight.
To satiate this heart of mine and circumvent the hands of time.
Dream tonight. Reach the light. Sanctify. Walk inside.
Time is like a river, and from this boat we sit and watch the world go by. The days they fade behind us. Wondering but never knowing why.
Time is an illusion. The past is gone forever but for me it’s still a dream.
Drifting out to sea. The river waits for me.
Life is like a river, we drift along but never really wonder why.
So tie the boat up to the shore, walk the path, go through the door.
Time is an illusion, the future, present, past are here before us now.
The story never ends. Time and time again.

Overload
06:09
|
|||
|
A day can last forever until it’s lost in a dream.
As time goes by, we wonder why. I can’t say for sure what it means.
Standing in the pouring rain, waiting for the bus.
Does everyone see what I see? What senses can you trust?
Standing in the pouring rain, waiting for the bus.
Does everyone see what I see? What senses can you trust?
All the world is watching me, it’s killing me inside.
My brain it goes on overload. There’s no place left to hide.
