Ricochet hear me breathe from the other room so which of all the lies you told should i keep as my own? the metaphors are lost on me what i see is what i see the earth is moving - time to say goodbye? only sky ahead love's so hard to find i saw it coming, saw it go wailing down the line will i see you again? a window closed, an opened door some seven steps away my actions caught up finally beyond the watchword wait and see beyond the undecisive ways of mine only sky ahead love's so hard to find i saw it come and saw it go somewhere down the line down the line the dream machine's on speed my head's up in the clouds we met up on the ledge and i could read your mind and though things fall asleep nothing ever dies i caught it on the bounce and now we float - hands outstretched - along the river The Great Unknown Finally we are on our way Where no man's gone, launching deep into the great unknown Space and time passing by, but the world outside is swallowed whole by the starless sky I turned the key in the door It’s been a long time a-coming I’ve been a long time gone I can't believe this is happening to me We have passed the sun and something tells me this has just begun I turned the key in the door It’s been a long time a-coming I’ve been a long time gone All the forces of the cosmos lead me on as we shoot through the galaxy I'm coming home! From Within sleep golden city behind bolts, bars and stone dream mighty city of the wind and the sea stars shoot a line across the sky no way in from the outside no way out from within stars call me down from the sky weep sleepless city in your room deep within and the stars shoot me down from the sky In For A Ride How long ‘til I’m set free, until I find a tie that binds? How long until I see the words that rhyme? But when the blinding lights have all gone down you are in for a ride How long until we meet, until our lines will entwine? How far until we hit the other side? But when we’ve passed the point of no return you are in for a ride Fate came by and leaned in close to me I skipped a heartbeat What if this is what I’ve waited for? Then what will come of me? Maybe the timing is more wrong than right? Signs of panic… But I’ve bought that ticket and I’ll take that ride There’s no way back to sleep when you’ve woken up the beast… Suddenly the dice were cast, the bones were dancing madly on the table Don’t think about tomorrow Don’t dwell on the mistakes that you have made This is the time, this is the place And when the blinding lights have all gone down you are in for a ride The War Is Over a light shines above a trace of the sky reflecting in my lover's eye the sun going down on a war, lost or won all is silent in this newborn world of peace we're the only ones awake to see it's not a case of right and wrong it's all about to be you and me so come and bless my soul it's all about to be a blue whippoorwill sings on the other side of the rain we're through with the games we survived the hate and the pain the storm's gone away so come my kingdom come - come today Monolith a storm will arise building up from the hearts of the moons of mars be prepared for the day when we walk from the darkness out into light dawn drawing near comes a time ‘cause the system is breaking down be prepared for the day when we walk from the darkness out into light A Sky About To Rain How did it ever come to this? I can’t pretend that nothing’s changed any longer I’ve drowned the doubts and chewed the lies Ignored the space between the lines Don’t act so surprised when you knew it all along Each and every lie burns a hole into my soul Then you asked me how this came to be… A quite selective memory… In what dirty river did you find the water that would make you lose your reflection? Heard you say we're both to blame... It's just a lame attempt to ease your pain... Don’t act so surprised when you knew it all along Each and every lie burns a hole into my soul A Sky About To Rain Every Step I Take (instrumental) Groundbound how long the wait? clouds are hanging over me obscurity prevails wearing the face of doubts, hopes and promises i wish that you would stay don’t blunt the edge i breathe through my senses the flesh and the divine delicate moves surrender into strangeness and i can’t make out the signs fall through the air groundbound and giving away your secret is safe unless it would break in two heaven’s still unbound cling to my wings, the dreams and the things we knew now would you want it to? fall through the air groundbound and gliding giving away Gravity soon an angel's leaving they're ruled by laws of gravity soon this door is closing and you'll never know unless you go no, you'll never know if you won't go wishing well of wonders glitter box of dreams inside lie bitter pills you know i never wanted to sing for your lover but the angels sang of love and outside the night was falling fly - fiery angels kiss the sky won't you shine your light down on me fly - through the blazing cosmic eye no, you'll never know if you won't go eleven ways to lose your mind seven ways to shine four doors that may take you in one that's closed behind i should have seen you leaving but i never thought you'd go no, i never thought you'd walk away it's getting dark, too dark to see and angel's a long time gone too many things i can't combine with logic reason how can i tell the black from white if all is black and blue? god knows where i'm going when the keeper waves me through... When I Turn sometimes it seems like the void is larger than life and i’ve nil to give, nothing to say at the ending of the day when i turn to go man made prints in the snow lines entwine and in time it will show the new day fades in grey i won’t let me slip away DISC TWO Sad Rain the neon dawn has just begun, the day is here that wasn't meant to come she's walking by the frozen sea trying to count the stars that she can't see a distant sound of black rain in the water the pale moon shining soft through a cloud the sun is turning black in the horizon the wind is slowly tearing her apart and so our time has come, my friend the child who cries and no-one seems to care the echoes of the birds are gone the sky is painted grey, but it's so warm searching for a light in the darkness, trying to keep your eyes from the dirt taste the bitter wine of tomorrow i'm walking on a path that never ends Wheel my mind's falling down endless tunnels until i find myself in the void somewhere down there i could hear them calling me through walls of silence i heard them weep the wheel was just about to roll me over and for a moment i lost control stars were falling and worlds colliding i always knew that they would track me down tried so hard to break through to the surface, but entered into yet another dream i held tighter on to the lifeline and sensing light i broke free! The Old Man & The Sea the storm has raged here for hours, the water's plunging in on me the remains of my creation is swallowed slowly down by the troubled sea into unconsecrated ground gone eternally, gone eternally feeder of my visions, carrier of my soul the last hope for the dreamers, now crashing to the shore, pinioned and torn in presumption and with my foolish pride i challenged the storm, i challenged the storm i'm the sole survivor, the only one left alive now my limbs seem to fail me and time has blurred my mind i'm doomed to this fate the deal has already been signed and the hour's getting late the hour's getting late, much too late Nucleus awaken - i am reborn - seeing - calling - roll away the stone - rising pacing through the ashes, holding fast the rope finally believing in love and life and hope beauty - sky, earth and moon - always moving - beating in tune - turning around... reaching - drawn to the light - wanting - shooting into the night - glowing getting ever deeper, closer to the core the purpose and the meaning, the essence of it all! Book of Hours watching the world through the eyes of a child leaving the past behind me curiously peeping behind each door already longing for tomorrow there's no need to fear as long as you're here it's not always easy, not always plain you cannot evade your sorrow those are the terms in this old game give and forgive for tomorrow there's no need to fear - i will be here all of the reasons were lost in the wave i scrabble around for reassurance dragging my grapnel athwart the sea scanning my book of hours This Far From The Sky the works of wonder pass me unseen so close in distance, yet so much lies between seeing with blurry, myopic eyes stuck in a limbo - so far from the sky one-way devotion and a one track mind: i am still yearning, though it clearly won't be mine too much confusion: all "how?" and "why?" i need you near me to guide me from this storm i'm passing through a moonlit path runs deep in the dark guided by stars i follow with my heart rely on comfort, rely on time hope for direction and mercy from that far, erratic sky 30 Pieces Did you see me? Did you bother when my head was under water? When the road was hard and winding Where were you? Where were you hiding? You were nowhere to be found when I searched the heavens and the ground Or was I too blind to see? That was what you kept on telling me So the truth shall set me free? Well, I'm cold and I am hungry Tell me why I should believe I see death and I see you and me Darkness falling down on me The betrayal burned a mark so deep Thirty pieces at my feet No Lord above my soul to keep The silver coins lay on the ground - they blind my eyes What would it take to make all my dreams come to life? Only a word, give me just a sign Just a tiny lie… Prince Of The Ocean Stood by the gate at the foot of the garden Am I too late? Are you gone now forever? So many things I never did tell you So many things, but still not much getting done Examining memories, dissecting dreams Looking for visions and great, long lost schemes Half-baked ideas were all that I found No guide to my future, no key to what I've become I am an island, a ship on a sea I drift with the winds, where the currents will lead I am an island, a star in the night I scan the horizon for beacons of light Long are the hours Still is the sea When you had gone through the lost and the found, what were the things that stuck in your mind? When you were tossing and turning in bed, what were the thoughts that went through your head? I know that you're longing for some greater plan A welcoming harbour, a safe place to land Abandon the anchor, go set the sail Lashed to the mast, follow the nail!
