2. Witch Hunt

Pouring fuel across the fire
Let the flesh evaporate
I can hear it in their crazy voices
They're opening the floodgates
Shout loud that burning mantra
With the confidence of fools
Let it be me
Who sets you free!

Exile! You show no mercy
You're living in a mindless state
Exile! You've crossed the line this time
You've thrown it all away

And you can drag this new pariah down
Till the lifeless body breaks
I can see it in their angry faces
They're opening the floodgates
Shout loud that burning mantra
With the unity of fear
Let it be me
Who sets you free!

Exile! You show no mercy
You're living in a mindless state
Exile! You've crossed the line this time
You've thrown it all away

Exile! You show no mercy
You're living in a mindless state
Exile! You've crossed the line this time
You've thrown it all away

3. An Angel Falls

An Angel falls, so fragile and exposed
Soon lies crushed and wasted – Too delicate to hold
A soulful melody innocent and pure
Rises to the sky and is lost for ever more

As guilt rains down
And scars the faith of man
It flows into the ground
We will never wipe the bloodstains from our hands

A failing heart, vulnerable and weak
Waiting for the moment to beat the final beat
Surely there is someone who'll reach out
Surely there is someone who'll reach out

4. Painted Man

I am the painted man
With a frown on my face
And a language you don't understand
A wild refugee
That is all you people can see
I am the painted man
With a smile on my lips
And a living tattoo on my hand
That's no guarantee
Of the truth you people can see

Why – With poison so strong in our hearts
And the world torn apart
Why – when our actions bring nothing but pain
Can't you see that we're painted the same?

I am the painted man
With bile in my veins
From a dark and sinister plan
Blind and deceived
That is all you people believe
I am the painted man
No thought for the world
I was here when the nightmare began
Wrongly conceived
That is all you people believe

Why – With poison so strong in our hearts
And the world torn apart
Why – when our actions bring nothing but pain
Can't you see that we're painted the same?

Come down from your ivory towers
Corruption devours us all
Come down from your ivory towers
The hunger devours us all

6. Spectre At The Feast

There's a spectre at the feast
Feeding on my soul and drinking my hopes away
There's a wind from the east
My heart grows cold, my rainbows turn to grey
There's a spectre at the feast
Tearing me up and tossing my bones to the wolves
On the brink of defeat
We're moving the goals and changing the rules

Hey don't fall asleep
Don't close your eyes and drift away to some foreign land
I know who you are – My fate is in your hands

There's a spectre at the feast
Panic has a face; it's looking at me right now
There's the shadow of defeat
Got to rise and bring those demons down

Hey don't fall asleep
Don't close your eyes and drift away to some foreign land
I know who you are – My fate is in your hands

Are they so pure, that they should judge me everyday?
Am I so low in estimation, that none will hear a word I say?
Are they so sure, the human race should turn away?
In every home to be unwelcome, and none will hear a word I say!

This brave new world has fallen and decayed
Are there no heroes just men with feet of clay?

Are they so weak, that they despise me everyday?
A painful demonstration that none will hear a word I say!

This brave new world has fallen and decayed
Are there no heroes just men with feet of clay?

Are you so pure?
This brave new world has fallen and decayed
Are there no heroes just men with feet of clay?

7. Skin Game

Knowing what I know
I'm never free to come and go
But when I try to open doors
I burn when daylight hits the floor

Playing the skin game
Breathing the blue flame
Playing the skin game
In sight, insane

Knowing what I know
I've been looking for a space to grow
And maybe I can set you free
Yes maybe I can set you free

Playing the skin game
Breathing the blue flame
Playing the skin game
In sight, insane

I'm content to live in the vacuum I have made
A comfortable existence on my own
The problems of the world are there for others to debate
I prefer to face my days alone!

Kneeling down before I sleep
Never said a prayer that I believed
One day you'll understand
Why have I become this way?
Maybe it's another quirk of fate
Yielding to my DNA

Try to live on my own
Reborn once more as a whisper on the telephone
Unafraid of it all
Every thought, every dream, I will call! I will call!
Now I'm living alone
And all I am is a whisper on the telephone
Making sense of it all
Every thought, every dream, I will call! I will call!

8. Salamander

Blue fire, spreading across
From my finger tips – a powerful chaos
Ice cold, consuming all
Unstoppable advancing wall of
Radiance, marching forth
For the final throws of a world war
Bow down before the truth
I hear the cry – too late to stop you

Burn – Like a moth to the flame
We'll burn – As the fire calls us by name
Burn – Like a moth to the flame

Blue fire, spreading across
From the farthest shore – the final cost
Go back to the other place
Another side of a well known face
Blinding light, the world falls down
I will draw you in to the slightest sound
Reach out, follow your heart
To the end of time – You will not be the last

Burn – Like a moth to the flame
We'll burn – As the fire calls us by name
Burn – Like a moth to the flame

Blue fire, a creeping curse
There is nowhere safe in the universe
Too late, you are hypnotised
By the gentle waves, as they dive and rise
One strike of a single match
And the human race is reduced to ash
Bow down before the truth
I hear the cry – too late to stop you

Burn – Like a moth to the flame
We'll burn – As the fire calls us by name
Burn – Like a moth to the flame
We'll burn – As the fire calls us by name

9. Bitter Harvest

We've sown the seeds now
Don't know where they may fall
Just lonely ghost towns
Empty churches, empty town halls
We've travelled far now
And so into the wilderness we crawl

I'm floating through the debris
Of reference books and catalogues
Climbing over sun baked bones
Of Kings and Queens and Demigods

You can take away my crown
But you'll never bring my spirit down
I won't give in
Try to push me off the rope
I will float down on the wings of hope
I won't give in

I wander through the dead lands
Computer chips and stereos
Powerless technology
Instruction books and videos

You can take away my crown
But you'll never bring my spirit down
I won't give in
Try to push me off the rope
I will float down on the wings of hope
I won't give in

Time may fly – And I will search the world for you
Rainbow skies – And I will cross the seven seas for you
Race on by – And I will find my way to you
Rainbow skies – And I will cross the universe for you

10. City Of Lanterns

Oh my brother, kneel with me
And share this dream of paradise
Through this cold and freezing night
We will survive

Oh my sister, walk with me
And share this dream of paradise
Through this unforgiving night
We will survive
As the Lantern City lights
Burn ever bright

12. Cutting The Cards

Some bitter puppeteer tore away my right to choose
Dealt me shit instead of cards
Watched me bluffing from the start
Some warring cavalier rode the truth into the ground
Dragged me screaming by the feet
Left me sprawling in defeat

Right – right to the end
We are joined till the universe fades into darkness again

Some deep deluded author wrote new chapters in my life
Threw my hat into the ring
Let the lady start to sing
So here we face each other, in the blackness of the night
I don't care how it appears
This ends now, this ends here

Right – right to the end
We are joined till the universe fades into darkness again

I can read your mind – Your future's so defined
Beware you've crossed the line this time
Are you so sure of what you'll find
A victim of your lies
A witness to your own demise
There's nowhere else to turn

Right – right to the end
We are joined till the universe fades into darkness again

I can feel your craving – The way that you behave
I can hear the thunder roll
The pleading of a million souls
You've done this to yourself
You've done this to yourself
There's nowhere else to turn

Right – right to the end
We are joined till the universe fades into darkness again
And you know, yes you know
We can't survive alone... on our own!

13. Ascension

I feel vindicated
Looking back on what I've done
Not so complicated
When moments meet as one
Are you ready to part the veil?
And write a new beginning to this tale

Rising up
I see creation from the sky
I'm learning to fly
Rising up
I see creation from the sky
This freedom is mine

Standing on the mountain
The olive leaf in hand
Drinking at that fountain
So that I might understand
Are you ready to start once more?
With no idea of what's in store
Are you ready to part the veil?
And write a new beginning to this tale

Rising up
I see creation from the sky
I'm learning to fly
Rising up
I see creation from the sky
This freedom is mine
Rising up
I see creation from the stars
We've travelled so far
Rising up
I see creation from the stars
We've travelled so far
Rising up
I am rising up

16. Chosen

Take a leap of faith if you want to find out!

We live amongst you
In the guise of the mortal men
You'll never see us in the crowd
We only look towards
What purpose we've been sent
And wait until the time is now

Take a leap of faith if you want to find out
Better hold on tight if you want to know how
Take a leap of faith if you want to find out
You have been chosen!

Imagine you can tell us all apart
From prophecy or old wives tales
Or from the warnings of a singular birthmark
But these are merely all false trails

Wisdom spat from the whirling chair
Shaking the bars when they stop and stare at me

Take a leap of faith if you want to find out
Better hold on tight if you want to know how
Take a leap of faith if you want to find out
You have been chosen....Now!

The faceless followers knelt in prayer
Near Whited sepulchres and lightly coded software

Freedom of speech – But we have no voice
Freedom of spirit – But we have no choice
Given no help – To meet these demands
Given no help – It's out of our hands

Never turn around never look behind
Got to turn the water into wine

Take a leap of faith if you want to find out
Better hold on tight if you want to know how
Take a leap of faith if you want to find out
You have been chosen....Now!

17. Double Vision

I've seen that face before
Demon eyes watch what an Angel once saw
I've seen that face before
Lying in shadows but hard to ignore

No where to run
No where to hide

I've seen this place before
A wilderness born from the torment of souls
(Yes!) I've seen this place before
A memory lost as the story unfolds

No where to run
No where to hide
No where to run
No where to hide

...."I will always find you!"

We played this game before
Counting no cost but keeping the score
(Yes!) We played this game before
Eyes to the front and backs to the wall

I've stood right here before

18. The Hanging Tree

Walk along the waterfall
Watching as the world turns red
Wonder where the river flows
And the blood on the river bed
Poison lies too close to us
Reach across the salt and sand
Moving deeper into the land

Following the waterfall
Watching as the world turns green
Wonder where the river flows
The copper face remains unseen
Ignorance has failed to cleanse
Reach across the salt and sand
Moving deeper into the land

Crying as the earth cries out
Weeping as the land decays
Wonder if I could have helped
Maybe I'd have found a way
Poison lies too close to us
Reach across the salt and sand
Moving deeper into the land

Cling to the branch of a tree
That was waiting for
Something to preach
Someone to teach
The Word was the first
And the last to be heard
From the branch of the tree
It was praying for me to fall down

Climb to the top of a tree
That was waiting for
Someone to warn
A life to be torn into
Pieces of gold
For a soul to be sold
And the heart of the tree
Was crying for me to come back

Take me to the hanging tree
There's a man in the light
And he's pointing at me
Guide me to the hanging tree
It's the place that I come from
Walk along the waterline
Reach across the salt and the sand
Moving deeper into the land

Take me to the hanging tree
There's a boy in the light
And he's staring at me
Take me to the hanging tree
It's the place that I come from
Walk along the waterline
Reach across the salt and the sand
Moving deeper into the land
I'm falling.....Falling down again!

19. (Don't Forget To) Breathe

Half heard cries in the night
Bolt the door, put out the light
The clock just stopped, time goes slow
Listen to my voice on the telephone

Fine prayers, sweet dreams
Don't forget to breathe, my friend
You're not the only one
To look me in the eyes again

Half heard screams in the night
The man's down deep 'cos he died of fright
There's a dog bite – Flash light
Throw him in the room with the clues and the dynamite

Fine prayers sweet dreams
Don't forget to breathe, my friend
You're not the only one
To look me in the eyes again

You saw! You saw!
A figure in the fog with razor claws
You saw! You saw!
A devil in the dark, we've met before

Fine prayers, sweet dreams
Don't forget to breathe, my friend
You're not the only one
To look me in the eyes again

Half seen shadows in the night
Burning hands and tortured sight
All the children of the storm are waiting
Half seen shadows in the night
Blood red rooms and fire light
All the children of the storm are waiting

And as you stand glued to the line
Your heart just stopped
And now you're mine!

Don't run away

20. The Butterfly Man

He waits in the dark for lives, misguided and wrecked
The catcher of innocent souls
He's proud of his human collection
Of losers who give up the chase
Of winners who fail to look round
He creeps up behind the fallen and blind
They're gone! With hardly a sound

'Save me – somebody reach out a hand
Save me from eternity caught in the grip of
The Butterfly Man'

He waits in the dark for the scent of anger or hate
He hides behind ignorance
And it's never for long that he has to wait
A gentle caress
Is enough before fear takes a hold
The warning signs come far too late
By then he'll have captured your soul

'Save me – somebody reach out a hand
Save me from the agony caught in the grip of
The Butterfly Man'

'Save me – somebody reach out a hand
Save me from eternity caught in the grip of
The Butterfly Man'

'I've been here for so long
Don't even know what my purpose ever was
I don't even know where I belong
Through the years I've been waiting
Even time has lost it's meaning
Don't even know where I belong'

'Can't ever turn from this path
Don't even know what alternatives there are
Perhaps I wandered too far
I've been here for so long
Don't even hope for an end to all of this
I have no choice, but to carry on'

There you are fighting to escape from the womb
Dying in the snares of your chosen beliefs
Were you not set free far too soon?
There you are bathing in the warmth of creation
Drowning in the blood of your chosen beliefs
Prisoners of fate
Living in a state of sedation

'Save me – somebody reach out a hand
'Save me – somebody reach out a hand
Save me from eternity caught in the grip of
The Butterfly Man'

He waits in the dark
The catcher of elegant souls
Extravagant souls
Belligerent souls

He waits in the dark
His arms open wide
Never too short
Never too tall
He'll take them all

21. Enemy Without

Something on the edge of this place
Something on the edge of my mind
Getting closer to me
Growing stronger in me all the time

The young foretell a life ahead
The old look back on a life that's been led
But I – I see nothing
Got too much sand across my head
Sit there waiting for the phone to ring
Hopes in the attic, tied up with string
On a top shelf, bottom drawer
Any place I could ignore
The falling of this hero

No! Don't let the child die here
Don't let the child die here
Don't let his life just fade away
Don't let the child die....

I made a promise – my soul laid bare
Signed and sealed on a wing, on a prayer
But thrown to the darkness
It lies beyond repair
This solemn oath I swore to you
Has been neglected and unused
In a back room, not on show
Anywhere just not to know
The falling of this hero

No! Don't let the child die here
Don't let the child die here
Don't let his life just fade away
Don't let the child die....

I let the orphan fall, tears remained unseen
I let the child die on signal fifteen
I missed the vital signs and all of the meanings

You cannot judge me
That's not your place
There's a jury for the crime's of my disgrace
You hide behind those vacant words
Have you seen what I've seen?
Have you heard what I've heard?

You cannot judge me
That's not your right
This is my room, no key, no light
You stand behind those faithless words
Have you seen what I've seen?
Have you heard what I've heard?

No! Don't let the child die here
Don't let the child die here
Don't let his life just fade away
Don't let the child die here

Don't let the child die here
Don't let the child die here
Don't let his life just fade away
Don't let the child die here

Don't let the child die here
Don't let the child die here
Don't let his life just fade away
Don't let the child die

22. Solomon

In the distance
Hidden from sight – patiently
Waiting for me
Part of the night – enemy mine
This horizon
Darkness and light – opposites
Drawn together, one forever
Wrong and the right – enemy mine
Now is the time to decide......

Don't answer me with the same old questions
Don't patronise with those tired old solutions
I've heard these before, I've been here before
Don't pay me back with the same old deceptions
Don't give me facts and predictable suggestions
I've heard these before, I've been here before
Then you're screaming all the time
You don't listen any more
When you threw out the hope with the dustbin liners
You were standing alone with your coat of kindness
Covered in mud – it was soaked in my blood
When you fed me to the lions
in your personal arena
And you watched till the cries
and the prayers grew weaker
Head in my hands – Dripping tears in the sand
The roar of the lions
As the victim lies damned and alone.......

When agony comes
more from hope than failure
Look further than your preconceptions,
expectations
Where the power of the mind can
take you out beyond this reach
Higher than the dull
and simple world you know so well
Back to paradise.......
Who keeps the child – Tell
me which is the mother?
The need in her eye,
and the eyes of the other
and I've seen this before,
I've been here before
Cut the child in half,
give a piece to each woman
A desperate chance,
the last hope has fallen
Just like before,
I've felt this before
And the gurgles of laughter
Are echoes once more in my heart

So I lie down in my mothers arms
And I cry in my mothers arms, praying
Praying for the end to come.....
A friend to come and rescue me – right now
So I listen to my mother's voice
And I listen to the
Only choice she had to make
Living fear cold and naked
Throw me away? Don't throw me away
"Take the child – it's yours!"
Was the only thing she could have said.....

Does it matter to you?
In the lion's cage we're all the same
Does it matter to you?
It's a child's game with a child's name
Does it matter to you?
If I place the blame upon your shoulders
Don't try to fool the world
Don't try to rule the world again.....

Throw away my life in the fireplace
With the old love letters
And the Nottingham laces;
Trying to forget the warm embraces
Video suppers and the funny faces
Does it matter to you?
Does it matter to you?
Does it matter to you?
Does it matter at all?

23. Jericho

Forget the lights
Forget the sounds
You no longer need me round
Lost my patience
Lost my pride
The story of my life
Innocence is no way to hide

Forget the light
Forget the sound
Why do you have to drag me down
Men of night, In disguise
Slay this barren child
Sadness is your only friend

"Please forgive me
I didn't mean to
play with your emotions
Tear apart your passions
Please forgive me
I didn't mean to
Hurt you with false meanings
Hurt you with false feelings"

Is what you see
Is what you get
Overhearing distant sounds
Is what you wish
Is what you hope
Given both ends of the rope
Both ends of the rope?

When you turn against the system
and the rules that are taught
The true unconscious law
an action without thought

To free yourself forever from the shackles and the chains
Of any kind of hell
You can call this need by any other name

When you stay held down for most of your life
It's not hard to find a cause
It's the catalyst behind the knife... the knife!

Gonna turn the tide against you
Gonna make this private revolution
Gonna smash the gates and march right through
Gonna tear apart this institution
I'm coming down to find you
Gonna make this private revolution
Better keep this faith behind you
Gonna lead the way to new solutions.

Jericho – I'll bring those walls right down on you!
Jericho – I'll bring those walls right down on you!

Gonna turn the tide against you
Gonna make this private revolution
Gonna smash the gates and march right through
Gonna make this private revolution

Jericho – I'll bring those walls right down on you!
Jericho – I'll bring those walls right down on you!
