Drawn to the Rhythm
When we wore a heart of stone we wandered to the sea/ Hoping to find some comfort there yearning to feel free/ And we were mesmerized by the lull of the night and the smells that filled the air/ And we layed us down on sandy ground it was cold but we didn't care/ CHORUS/ And we were drawn to the rhythm/ Drawn to the rhythm of the sea/ And we were drawn to the rhythm/ Drawn to the rhythm of the sea/ We fell asleep and began to dream when something broke the night/ Memories stirred inside of us the struggle and the fight/ And we could feel the heat of a thousand voices telling us which way to go/ And we cried out is there no escape from the words that plague us so/ CHORUS/ In the still and silent dawn another day is born/ Washed up by the tireless waves the body bent and torn/ When you wake in the face of the blinding sun and you search only to find/ That heaven is a stranger place than what you've left behind/ CHORUS
Into the Fire
Mother teach me to walk again/ Milk and honey so intoxicating/ CHORUS/ And into the fire/ I'm reunited/ Into the fire/ I am the spark/ Into the fire/ I yearn for comfort/ Open the doors that lead on in to Eden/ Don't want no cheap disguise/ I follow the signs marked back to the beginning/ No more compromise/ CHORUS/ Free the water that carries me to the sea/ You I see as my security/ CHORUS/ I will stare into the sun until its light doesn't blind me/ I will walk into the fire until its heat doesn't burn me/ And I will feed the fire/ CHORUS
The Path of Thorns
I knew you wanted to tell me/ In your voice there was something wrong/ But if you would turn your face away from me/ You cannot tell me you're so strong/ Just let me ask of you one small thing/ As we have shared so many tears/ With fervor our dreams we planned a whole life long/ Now are scattered on the wind.../ CHORUS/ In the terms of endearment/ In the terms of the life that you love/ In the terms of the years that pass you by/ In the terms of the reasons why/ Through the years I've grown to love you/ Though your commitment to most would offend/ But I stuck by you holding on with my foolish pride/ Waiting for you to give in.../ You never really tried or so it seems/ I've had more than myself to blame/ I've had enough of trying everything/ And this time it is the end.../ CHORUS/ There's no more coming back this way/ The path is overgrown and strewn with thorns/ They've torn the life-blood from your naked eyes/ Cast aside to be forlorn.../ CHORUS/ Funny, how it seems that all I've tried to do/ Seemed to make no difference to you at all...
I Will Not Forget You
I remember the nights I watched as you lay sleeping/ Your body gripped by some far away dream/ Well I was so scared and so in love then/ And so lost in all of you that I had seen/ But no one ever talked in the darkness/ No voice ever added fuel to the fire/ No light ever shone in the doorway/ Deep in the hollow of earthly desires/ But if in some dream there was brightness/ If in some memory some sort of sign/ And flesh be revived in the shadows/ Blessed our bodies would lay so entwined/ CHORUS/ And I will oh I will not forget you/ Nor will I ever let you go/ I will oh I will not forget you/ I remember when you left in the morning at daybreak/ So silent you stole from my bed/ To go back to the one who possesses your soul/ And I back to the life that I dread./ So I ran like the wind to the water/ Please don't leave me again I cried/ And I threw bitter tears at the ocean/ But all that came back was the tide.../ CHORUS
Lost
By the shadows of the night I go/ I moved away from the crowded room/ That sea of shallow faces masked in warm regret/ They don't know how to feel, they don't know what is lost/ CHORUS/ Lost in the darkness of a land/ Where all the hope that's offered is/ Memories of being taken by the hand/ And we are led into the sun/ But I don't have a hold on what is real/ Though we can only try/ What is there to give or to believe/ I want it all to go away I want to be alone/ Sympathy's wasted on my hollow shell/ I feel there's nothing left to fight for/ No reason for a cause/ And I can't hear your voice and I can't feel you near/ CHORUS/ I wanted a change knowing all I could do was try/ I was looking for someone...
Back Door Man
You open your eyes, look around/ You feel the earth it wanders -/ Out, from under your feet - the ground/ Is not firm but soft and weak - like skin/ Under the touch, cannot stop to falter/ Now, the damage is done the certainties gone/ The spirits altered/ CHORUS/ And now the angry morning/ Gives the early signs of warning/ You must face alone the plans you make/ Decisions they will try to break/ Our hands are tied on the table/ Maybe you can try at the back door man/ While the helpless line up on the doorsteps/ 'Cause it's all they can do to try to get through/ All of your life you've lived in a world as pure/ As Eden's sixth day - now all you've been allowed/ Is taken away - they will not let you be so proud/ And you have felt the fear growing inside/ Protest follows far and wide - they'll see how long/ It will take 'till you fall - from so much denied/ Your soul - it aches relentless from the fear/ That they will never guess - so unfair that/ They can make you feel so small/ And the fear you know is real/ CHORUS
Shelter
They're crowded into the smallest spaces/ While outside all of nature cries/ It's known to be cruel and unfair/ But there is no place to hide/ Oh I've seen a part of people that I never really want to share/ Oh I've seen a part of people that I never knew was there/ CHORUS/ Shelter - give them shelter from the coming storm/ Shelter - give them shelter from the coming storm/ I can't sleep haunted by their faces/ The sadness in their eyes/ It hurts so much to see them helpless/ It makes me want to cry/ But still there is so much left unanswered/ For so many innocent lives/ They close the doors and are letting nobody in/ And only the strong will survive/ CHORUS/ I've seen the anger and I've seen all the dreams/ And I've watched an existence torn apart by the seams/ And though I may seem helpless/ I will do all that I can do/ Oh I've seen a part of people that I never really want to share/ Oh I've seen a part of people that I never knew was there/ CHORUS
Black
As the walls are closing in/ And the colors fade to black/ And my eyes are falling fast and deep into me/ And I follow the tracks that lead me down/ And I never follow what's right/ And they wonder sometimes when they see all the/ Sadness and pain the truth begins to light/ CHORUS/ 'Cause I can't see no reason/ What is blind cannot see/ 'Cause I want what is pleasin'/ All I take should be free/ What I rob from the innocent ones/ What I'd steal from the womb/ If I cried me a river of all my confessions/ Would I drown in my shallow regret/ As the walls are closing in/ And the colors fade to black/ And the night is falling fast and deep into the sea/ And in the darkness all that I can see/ The frightened and the weak/ Are forced to cling to mistakes they know nothing of/ At mercy are the meek/ CHORUS
Home
Child walks down to the river's edge/ And looks out as far as she can see/ And draws each breath as if it were the last/ And wipes away the tears across her sleeve/ She can see where the river crawls to the sea/ Like a baby into mother's care/ Somehow the longing is so far away/ The innocence so wasted and aware/ And look at the child with the dream in her eyes/ Holding it deep inside her/ Thinking about Home... Home.../ So much anger so deeply ingrained/ Seemed a burden that was hers alone/ She didn't think that there was anything wrong/ With wanting a life that she could call her own/ How could I explain? You would not want to hear/ You wouldn't listen if I talked anyway/ For you were too weighed down by your own fears/ And look at the child with the dream in her eyes/ Holding it deep inside her/ Home... home... home... home...
Mercy
Mercy - pure and simple/ Longing - cold and hollow/ With sweet breath you'd come to warm me/ But I held on too hard to only a memory/ You lie there on the swollen ground/ Deserted in your heart/ Still longing for what yesterdays lost/ And for all that tomorrow might bring/ The passion lost - taken, stolen/ The dreams we had and we shared - shattered, broken/ With kind words you'd come to soothe me/ But I go blind and filled with fear/ Would send you away from me/ There is no hope in regretting now/ All the pain that we could not see/ We both knew what we wanted/ And we took it believing it free/ And we took it believing it free
Wear Your Love Like Heaven
Color in sky prussian blue/ Scarlet fleece changes hue/ Crimson ball sinks from view/ CHORUS/ Wear your love like heaven/ Wear your love like heaven/ Wear your love like heaven/ Lord kiss me once more/ Fill me with song/ Allah kiss me once more/ That I may, that I may/ Wear my love like heaven/ Wear my love like heaven/ Color sky havana lake/ Color sky rose carmethene/ Alizarian crimson/ CHORUS/ Lord kiss me once more/ Fill me with song/ Allah kiss me once more/ That I may, that I may/ Wear my love like heaven/ Wear my love like heaven/ Lord kiss me once more/ Fill me with song/ Allah kiss me once more/ That I may, that I may/ Wear my love like heaven/ Wear my love like heaven/ Cannot believe what I see/ All I have wished for will be/ All of our race proud and free/ CHORUS/ Lord kiss me once more/ Fill me with song/ Allah kiss me once more/ That I may, that I may/ Wear my love like heaven/ Wear my love like heaven
