LIRICAS WHEN DREAM
AND DAY UNITE
A Fortune In Lies
:
I can remember when, In
the unity of our five-day sessions Not even once did we hear the siren
song What kind of imagination Asleep in some lyrical coma Who's vain futile
memory Could have been so wrong?
You can make a fortune
in lies You can keep a giant alive You can ride the red Until everybody
smiles
A trifling euphoria was
such an untimely religion maybe your life can explain the reason for my
indecision Here is a poor man the heart of this monster creation He said
we both will be heroes and I was led into temptation
You can make a fortune
in lies You can keep a giant alive You can ride the red Until everybody
smiles
Can you show me your gold
and your silver? A hero in frozen water
Now you've made a fortune
in lies and you kept a giant alive You rode the red You rode the red.
Status Seeker:
Heart sick at the sight
of the Status Seeker In a sense I'm not beyond reproach the aspiration
to drop a name When any rose might smell the same Maybe you'll figure it
out someday "I want to know you now... You know I've always believed
in you."
Nothing is sacred... You
draw the bottom line with a dollar sign Change of opinion... At the drop
of a dime Graceless intrusion... Are you sanctified in your judgment of
me? All that I deserve is what you were unable to see
In a garden where the seeds
were spilled I favored the few that stood strong in the sun As I reached
for the profit of my prize I found I had trampled the forgotten ones.
Nothing is sacred... You
draw the bottom line with a dollar sign Change of opinion... At the drop
of a dime Graceless intrusion... Are you sanctified in your judgment of
me? All that I deserve is what you were unable to see
You're running in circles
And I'm turning away You refused to believe Now I'm turning away
Nothing is sacred... You
draw the bottom line with a dollar sign Change of opinion... At the drop
of a dime Graceless intrusion... Are you sanctified in your judgment of
me? All that I deserve is what you were unable to see
You're running in circles
And I'm turning away You refused to believe Now I'm turning away.
The Killing Hand I:
The Observance An Angel's
kiss now fallen Descending scarlet cuts the sky Faded names left on the
wall Honor the fighting leave life to die Remembered is the sacrifice but
No praisal of blood still flowing Who were the leaders? what controlled
the Killing Hand that caused this mourning? Crossing over...
II. Ancient Renewal Lowered
deep into the sea Being awaits to cleanse his soul senses weakening time
is still Motionless by stiffening cold
The wheels race back and
Scorch his mind Travelling all to find the land Revelation warms a touch
And now, he will begin to Understand
III. The Stray Seed Extended
a view to yesterday Manifestation for none the same Walking amidst a frightening
still No sound, no smoke, no scorching Flames He is risen...
Sipping his poison the
raven sings Yet another to add more bodies fallen King from below this
one controls the Killing Hand that caused this mourning. Is it all over?
IV. Thorns Evil genius
this secret plan Mercy dealt with the losing hand Will he ever fell? Can
he end it all? Our savior must make his stand
Only a Prophet of years
to come Wanting mortality I'm all alone He heard my voice It was my choice
I've stopped the Killing Hand
V. Exodus When I go back
again Will it be the same? I've stopped the cries But now they know my
name
The sea is calling me my
spirit must return As I get closer, was it really worth what I have learned?
I'm in the valley And the
saddened chimes I hear Race toward the wall to find one more name appears
No one is left now my one
and only land I laugh at what I've done I am the Killing Hand.
Light Fuse and Get Away:
Would you like to sit and
talk to me about the way things change so suddenly when your senses come
and the feeling goes? can you remember feeling much too close?
Stop your hands from shaking
Look at me Are your senses racing endlessly tracing past impressions? So
were mine Have you ever been used or will this be the first time?
It's come so clear to me
Light fuse and get away No gain, no pain It's a fatal game and the true
lose everything
I can see what trust and
loyalty have done for me falling miles from the mark with a thirst for
revenge and a dangerous heart
I've tried to wash from
memory feelings of betrayal and the incidents that plague me since I lost
my sense of innocence
A history of changes now
I'm loving now I'm losing keeps me constantly in fear of hearing "I
can't see where this is going"
You lie alone with the
memory feeling the ceiling and walls closing in on Your Conscience -- my
ally the guilt - your affliction from
preying on praise as you fed an attention addiction
Someone told me Light fuse
and get away No gain, no pain and when it's lust to dust you can crawl
from the wreckage
I can see what trust and
loyalty have done for me lying bleeding in the dark with a thirst for revenge
and a dangerous heart
It's come so clear to me
Light fuse and get away No gain, no pain It's a fatal game and the true
lose everything I can see what trust and loyalty have done for me falling
miles from the mark with a thirst for revenge and a dangerous heart.
Afterlife :
I touched with one who
made me run away from my own soul... In this world with its many illusions
We are moving like mice through a maze
And now I find what's left
behind has served to make me whole full of doubt, deception, and delusion
seeking purpose to all earthly days
I search within beneath
a skin that bears both pleasure and pain In a world full of constant confusion
I will not be a par to the craze
In the Afterlife will dark
be bright? will cold be warm? will
the day have no night? In the Afterlife? will the blind have sight? In
the Afterlife.
Behind closed eyes some
comfort lies In knowing the truth never spoken Through this world with
its hidden conclusion we'll keep moving like mice through a maze
In the Afterlife will dark
be bright? will cold be warm? will the day have no night? In the Afterlife?
will the blind have sight? In the Afterlife.
In the Afterlife will dark
be bright? will cold be warm? will the day have no night? In the Afterlife?
will the blind have sight? In the Afterlife.
The Ones Who Help To
Set The Sun:
Watching my window I was
led like a child As the roadway lamplights misguided my mind through the
night a shadow of limits We were racing the rain my hands held the wheel
My eyes tried to hold their place
there must have been a
time when I thought that you were watching It had to be when my senses
lost control I thought I'd slipped away I thought I could still feel us
moving It must have been a cloud no bigger than a man's hand
Every reason I risk my
life To come back to you Is locked behind your door You're my immunity
Outside I watched you burn Heavy hearts were bleeding A cry for help, a
familiar voice My melting hands streaked the glass
As I walked away I wondered
what had really happened had I run out of time did I push myself to far
As my last step fell I felt my hands upon the wheel had I come back to
life or did I ever leave at all In higher lives We seem to be always a
moment too late We're past the time when we looked on Now we're THE ONES
WHO HELP TO SET THE SUN this time for real I locked the door behind me
My mind was still a wreck from what I saw For when my hands are still I'll
recognize the message never again will my senses lose control In higher
lives We seem to be Always a moment too late We're past the time when we
looked on Now we're THE ONES WHO HELP TO SET THE SUN.
Only A Matter Of Time:
A suited man smiled said:
"It's just a matter of time You can have the world at your feet by
tomorrow just sign on this line." Hold tight...limelight! Approaching
the paramount with the sun in our eyes fearing family ties, legalies, compromise
In a dimly lit room with
a stool as his stage a dream-stricken prince of a pauper's descent haunts
the eavesdropping silence that presses his window as he sweats a performance
to an audience that ticks on the walls
To the practical observer
It's just a matter of time "You can deviate from the commonplace only
to fall back in line." I understand mine's a risky plan and your system
can't miss But is security after all a cause or symptom of happiness?
Brave, yet afraid, his
eyes on horizon in a steady-set gaze a mariner soon from an open cocoon
takes a moment to summon his courage to stifle his grave apprehension and
trembling, approaches the surf A father's benediction as his hopeful son
departs to brave the sea of rage and conquer at all costs
lingers in his memory and
visions still surviving in a logic-proof shell that should have been held
sacred, safe and hidden well are compromised in usury with every rising
sun that yields no sight of land the hesitation cultivates within the tired
man and rumors spread of mutiny and though the time will come when dream
and day unite tonight the only consolation causing him to fight in fearless
faith in destiny
Even when plan fall to
pieces I can still find the courage with promise I've found in my faith
Likely or not, it's a dream
that we keep and at odds with our senses we'll climb But if faith is the
answer, we've already reached it.
