Walking the Fire
04:02
|
|||
I'm walking the fire as the desert redeems
Walking a tightrope made up of my dreams
the flames surround it but still it stays strong
if I stay true to it I can not go wrong
On and on, what have you seen?
you've a fire of your own
on and on, don’t change the dream
trust the fire in which I burn
I'm walking the fire it's straining the leash
pulling me in all directions I can barely reach
I don’t remember from where I came
mesmerised by the dancing flame
On and on, what have you seen?
you've a fire of your own
on and on, don’t change the dream
trust the fire in which I burn
I'm walking the fire through the widening void
wondering how it burns once all has been destroyed
my soul is burning; sparks spit from my eyes
I burn the trophies the flame is the prize
On and on, what have you seen?
you've a fire of your own
on and on, don’t change the dream
trust the fire in which I burn

Step inside the program
Put it to the fire
Wait until its burning
Stand it on its head
Take it to the newsroom
Put it on the table
Trade up to pagan
Smoke amongst yourselves
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
I’m not telling you why
Take it to the station
Ice Nine battalions
Tainted by burning
Rounds of blood on me
Take it to the circus
To the mannequins of fire
Ten times commando
And since you’re on your knees
Your mama says you’re not the only one
Your mama says you’re not the only one
Your mama says you’re not the only one
Your mama says you’re on your own
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
I’m not telling you why
Your mama says you’re not the only one
Your mama says you’re not the only one
Your mama says you’re not the only one
Your mama says you’re on your own

Holy Salt
05:18
|
|||
I followed her down to see the writing on the wall
Though I stared right at the message
I only now understand its call
Because every revelation brings you awake with a jolt
Sometimes it’s holy water
Sometimes it’s holy salt
After everything, why does it have to come to this?
I was sleeping through the turnings
Opportunities were missed
When you do the things you have to do it isn’t anybody’s fault
Sometimes it’s holy water
Sometimes it’s holy salt
Sometimes it’s holy water
Sometimes it’s holy water
Sometimes it’s holy water
Sometimes it’s holy salt
I drink from the cup of memory as it’s all I can call mine
I cannot own the rhythm
I’m hanging on the rhyme
I don’t know how I got here, it isn’t by default
I thought it holy water
When I was tasting holy salt
So I drink from the chalice waiting where I’d come to a halt
And I found holy water
That’s how I knew holy salt
Sometimes it’s holy water
Sometimes it’s holy water
Sometimes it’s holy water
Sometimes it’s holy salt
I found holy water
I found holy salt

I’ve been going the wrong way all the time
and I was supposed to be alert and following the signs
yet I’m going the wrong way all the time
there’s fires burning
basically gaslights
When I went back to see what the signs actually said
they weren’t there
maybe they were only in my head
so I can’t now see what they actually said
if anything
there’s fires burning
basically gaslights
You are everywhere
you are everywhere
you are everywhere
everywhere but here
They say those the Gods wish to destroy
they first make mad
well it would seem I have been so marked
yet the Gods don’t need any help
I’m doing it myself
the Gods help those who help themselves
You are everywhere
you are everywhere
you are everywhere
everywhere but here
everywhere but here
everywhere but here
everywhere
but not here

Desperate Desire
04:46
|
|||
I didn’t reach her today
even though she is so close to me
I couldn’t even find the bell
and yet I know that it’s there
When did I succumb to desperate desire (x3)
It was when I was inflamed by you
I felt the hand of fate again
when I tried hanging up the phone to God
I even tried to turn away
and yet she is everywhere
When did I succumb to desperate desire (x3)
It was when I was inflamed by you
She is the spark that sets my flame
I'm burning and yearning and aching to declare
When did I succumb to desperate desire (x3)
It was when I was inflamed by you

Count the Days
04:18
|
|||
I count the days thinking I can face the future
count the days until I feel the sun rise
I count the days; it’s a special kind of madness
count the days until I dare open my eyes
Count with me count back from then
until I’m feeling life again
count with me we can pretend I can survive another night
Count with me and then reveal
that I don’t know what I feel
count with me if I can really say goodbye
I count the days til I know one way or the other
count the days if I have to let you go
I count the days until my head can stop from spinning
count the days until I can truly know
Count with me count back from then
until I feel alive again
count with me we can pretend I can survive another night
Count with me and then reveal
that I don’t know what I feel
count with me if I can really say goodbye
I count the days as each one turns into another
count the days, one by one they pass
I count the days I’m getting sick of numbers
count the days will I ever reach the last
I count the days since I felt the empty echoes
count the days since you pulled your hand away
I count the days it’s like purgatory in motion
count the days til I can call your name again
Count with me count back from then
until I’m feeling life again
count with me we can pretend I can survive another night
Count with me and then reveal
that I don’t know what I feel
count with me if I can really say goodbye

Going through the motions life is studies in motion
here's your population no apparent motion
looking for an outlet for an unexpressed passion
wishing for a story being told no more
I'll explain
the truth could kill a man
you wouldn't want to know
I'll explain
get moving while you can
you've just got time to go
Your hunting days are over
hunting time is over for you now
this is where you end up when the story that you’re dreaming
writes you out of the plot with no alternate ending
so you come and grab a table, all the while waiting
for the call from the director to say they need you after all
I'll explain
the truth could kill a man
you wouldn't want to know
I'll explain
get moving while you can
you've just got time to go
Your hunting days are over
hunting time is over for you now
God came by in his plain clothes; I knew Him by the eyes
remember that? Looking someone in the eye?
He was suffering gnostic nausea that came when He realised
the walls He couldn't climb weren't really there
I'll explain
the truth could kill a man
you wouldn't want to know
I'll explain
get moving while you can
you've just got time to go
Your hunting days are over
hunting time is over for you now

These Three
07:18
|
|||
What happened next was like nothing I’d ever seen before
Carved inside somehow
Left no trace undignified
Exit, take these three
I’m looking out
I’m waking up I’m breaking out I’m facing out
I’m getting out
I’ve sinned before I’ll sin some more who’s keeping score?
I’m heading out
I’m freaking out I’m seeking out I’m cleaning out
I’m breathing out
I’ve been travelling a world that’s getting rounder
Travelling second hand
It’s my business to know where you’ve been
Come on in, take these three
I’m looking out
I’m waking up I’m facing out I’m breaking out
I’m getting out
I’ve sinned before I’ll sin some more who’s keeping score?
I’m heading out
I’m freaking out I’m seeking out I’m cleaning out
I’m breathing out
What happens now I’m getting all this déjà vu?
Got to keep believing got to see it through
I can’t believe you’re faking it
Doesn’t matter now, take these three
I’m looking out
I’m waking up I’m facing out I’m breaking out
I’m getting out
I’ve sinned before I’ll sin some more who’s keeping score?
I’m heading out
I’m freaking out I’m seeking out I’m cleaning out
I'm getting out
I've sinned before I'll sin some more until I'm restored
I'm reaching out
I'll let it break I'll get it straight it's not too late
I’m breathing out

Come Back Home
03:58
|
|||
What do you run away from
so far away from
what do you hide away from
so far from home
what makes you remain there
why do you stay there
how can you remain there
so far from home
what are you afraid of
you'll find out what you’re made of
why do you deny love
so far from home
what has caused your pain, son
this sense of separation
why do you let pain come
so far from home
I see it in your face
You'll always have a space here
come and find your place here
come back home
I can feel you yearning
I see you returning
so carry on your journey
come back home
You can find your way here
there’s no reason for fear
you know the way here
so come back home
I will be here waiting
I always remain here
I just want to see you make it
so come back home
let your heart guide you
feel what is inside you
your heart can see the light true
come back home
let yourself feel love
nothing to be ashamed of
let yourself be love
and come back home
come back home

Love's Wine
05:18
|

My love I dream and you appear
My love I seem to bring you near
As one we have the greater view
My love and I can see it true
Please, won’t you let me taste the wine Of love
My love I drink your sweet perfume
My love I feel you when we move
Such wine you bring to me revealed
As love, as you, as me, as real
Oh please won’t you let me taste the wine Of love
My love I sing sincere delight
My love I bring you endless light
As one we are remade, renewed
My love I came to be with you
Oh please won’t you let me taste the wine
My love I dream of you
