Dark They Were

Dark They Were:
I lived on the sunny side of the mountain
You fought yourselves, but you wore down a peaceful man
I had my fill of your lies and your desert gods
No forces going to keep this man around
This vast array
On and on and on we go
Lady in Chains of the hallowed sky, her sacrifice
Bear Driver with his hunting dogs, he’s a mighty man
Cygnus the Swan, he’s the Cross… and he brings me light
Line unbroken to the outer darkness, I’m alive!
Endless night
But, on and on and on we go
But, on and on and on we go
Lost reaches I find
Of memories still unkind
Although the world will move along
All along we want to be free
Lost reaches of the multiverse, I accelerate
Smoke rising from the valley of gods – I won’t hesitate
Sufficiently breathless – one man’s fate and he’s laid to rest
Empty shores of a life unwanted – no turning back
No way back
This vast array

Gates of the Red Planet:
Been fourteen years since I can relate
Problem – that’s changed
It’s taken a piece of me
I will ride – all the way
To the gates of the red planet
Been fourteen years, so I hesitate
That part, that’s lost
It’s breaking the peace in me
I will ride – all the way
To the gates of the red planet
Fourteen years and so I wait – today
In the wake of strange ways – unfurled
The pieces left of me
I will ride – all the way
To the gates of the red planet

No Mans Mesa:
You will or you won’t
And I kept you close to me
You were and you are
The same to me
She’s right here
Seeing the other side of me
And we forget
All that we were never meant to be
And this high road
A thousand years and endless sky
When you take my hand
I turn to you
I turn to you…

The Duster

The Duster:
Carried over,
Carried over the sun burnt coals
Ten days of nothing,
I ain’t stopping, oh yeah
And I’ve been too long here for the duster
Oh – I’ve felt alive then
Yeah – I’ve been excited
I fell inside it
And I was so sad to see you go
Burning diesel,
Burning diesel to drive my hope
Ten ways I’m dying, my mind stopped trying
And I let the duster fill my soul
I felt a lie then
Yeah – I’ve been misguided
I fell behind you
Walking the shadow of your heart

Unearthed
Naked scars for you and I – on the last of days
Revealing truth by blood red moon – forevermore
Fruit is dying on the vine
Knowledge burning in my mind
I’m perfect in my ways
But the truth alone won’t set me free
You, I’ll give you more
Don’t let it all fall down – forever
You will sing my name – light bringer!
Blessed are the strong
Tomorrow, I will light the way
Shadows hide the coming storm
We’re crossing over where breaking bonds stoke angel fire… below the sky
Lightning dripping from the jar
From the east, the morning star
Deserters – torn asunder
Redeemers’ angels come to me
And you, I’ll give you more
Don’t let it all fall down – forever
You will sing my name – light bringer!
Blessed are the strong
Tomorrow, I will light the way
Free…Light…Die…
Ramming through the after world
Corruptive rhythm of hate unfurled
Beyond the gates and the broken walls
We speak the truth and the master falls
Breathe…Life…Die…
From the north will ride the…
Breathe…Life…Die…
In the east will burn the...
Breathe…Life…Die…
From the west winds coming
Breathe…Life…Die…
And the sign of the southern cross

My Shadow Devours

My Shadow Devours:
It’s the same old way, to be caught in the same situation
And only I can see it, can you see it to?
Words that leave me half alive
They don’t mean that we stand alone
Overthrown
No more waiting for those to days to come again
And I will move, from the world I’m in
You want to know, and you want to have
For the sake of being, a rising star
But it doesn’t it make you any fame
And it doesn’t make you any name
So let it be, let it bleed
No more waiting for those to days to come again
And I will move, from the world I’m in
In this world, I’m fadin’
Can’t help but be jaded
You strike me as someone who cares for me
I’ll strike down every notion you throw at me
I just left, to make it right
Close the door, shut it tight
Siren with a song - the ending of the sun
Born again - to remain unknown
To remain unknown.

Sixes and Sevens:
She said cold – yeah (is what she told me)
Cold is the way, I left you
Forgotten past like an empty pocket
I got you down, yeah
A faded man better stand aside
A tortured soul nowhere to hide
I feel it
It’s enough to break my soul
Break my soul
I said burn, yeah – like a devil’s fire
Burned all the way, by the hell I bring
Coal-dusted wings, yearning for light
She will never fly
A broken life out of control
What was your price?
How were you sold?
I see it
All the things I can’t control
Watch this unfold
I feel it
It’s enough to break my soul
Darkness clouds the path I follow
Dark and twisted is the way we’ve come
We circle back, but it’s mad confusion
I can’t keep it down
Bury the world… together… within
It’s all sixes and sevens again
I see it
All the things I can’t control
Watch this unfold
I feel it
It’s enough to break my soul

Cathedral of Tomorrow:
He’ll never stand – he’s defeated
So, on we go… away
Back to the ways of corporate greed and
He’ll never gain anything from it
All of your sins have been - washed away
Each one of you, starting new
Baptized in shades of grey
She’ll never get her – her instant fame
And so, we scroll away
Her masquerade is slowly fading
The ego games we love to play
All of your sins have been - washed away
Each one of you, starting new
Baptized in shades of grey
Moonbeams through stained glass walls – electric imagery
Freedom chains, freedom reigns, over me,
An on and on and on it goes
Misery, nothing to show
Find your way back to the promise of tomorrow’s home
Freedom reigns over me
Freedom chains on me
Freedom reigns over me
Freedom chains on me

Vanishing Point

Vanishing Point:
And if you go my way
Final thoughts for a dangerous day
Summer nights, on the road
In this world
Calling me to the place I belong
It always seems like you are never trying
Push me away and I’m falling
Highway fuels my disorder
The steering wheel is all I feel as the sun’s gearing down
No more need for this place
Not what I got, but what it takes
The mirror shows no trace
Hollow eyes in the face of a man who’s long gone
It always seems like you are never trying
Push me away and I’m falling
Highway fuels my disorder
The steering wheel is all I feel as the sun’s gearing down
And in these moments that we count in silence
Long shadow’s horizon
A release – set you free
Got my gun, on the run, and I’m on my own

Cold Stream Guards
i) Sol Noctis
This light will end, and we’ll begin again
My final breath holds the melody
Arctic sun, won't you speak to me?
Winter solstice, whisper thoughtfully
Six-month sun, won't you ever set?
I beg the moon to not forget
Two diamond points of light looking down on me
Mouth is dry, hands shake reaching out for her
But she's not there...
Outer limits keep me in my tomb
A fallen tree – a life of solitude
Broken body on this icy shore,
Unlock the bindings of the astral door
A face of silver light, and she sings to me
Chasm wide, the great divide - reaching out to her
And she is there...
ii) The Faceless Mind
Wait in line, wait in the line
Fail came to me in a flashing of light
Wait inside, faceless mind
Open the door to the passage of time
All alone on this dead-end road
A man wanted only to know the truth
But he stood inside as the serpent hissed
The rain, the blood and he said only this:
“Save your mind, save your mind
Blood flows all night
Save your mind, save your mind
Blood burns fire light.”
iii) Punishments
You will stand before us in the last days
You will face the trial for all those you have wronged
Here you stand before us, we know your ways
Accused and judged, you will fail, and fall
One life for the sinner
One life for the dreamer
One life for you to give her
One life for the schemer
Forfeit your life
iv) Clear Mountain
Arctic sun has revealed to me
The key I seek, found inside of me
Fever dream no longer holds me down
Within my head I feel the icy sound
v) A False Ending
This light we’ll end, and we’ll begin again
On hollowed ground, the sound is all around
My final breath, ooh the melody
An in this time, the last note fades away
Fades away.
