1. The River
Sailing down
Down the Styx again
Without you, my love
I want to return but then
I see all my friends
They want me to join but then
They all melt away
Without you, alone
And the river's running through my veins
Lately she don't seem the same
And the blood keeps calling out my name
I pass by the sins
Left by a different man
The tides brought them here
Cast by a different hand
And the wisps of the winds
Blow with the Styx again
Pushing me on
Without you, alone
And the river's running through my veins
Lately she don't seem the same
And the blood keeps calling out my name
And the river running down
And the river running down
And the river running down
And the river
My will must be strong
To rise with a different light
My will must belong
I'm still pushing for different heights
And the wisps of the winds
Blow with the Styx again
The river runs red
And I'm left alone
And the river's running through my veins
Lately she don't seem the same
And the blood keeps calling out my name
And the river's running, yeah
Help me, baby
Help me, baby
Help me, baby
Help me, baby, ooh, yeah
Help me, baby
Help me, baby
Help me, baby
Yes
2. The Bazaar
Silence swimming in a pool of dreams
Beneath its depths the forgotten streams
Above the city of the evening star
Behind its walls the grand bazaar
As she walks through its endless maze
Cursing those who mistrust her ways
Please, my friend, no matter what she sees
Tell my lover come back to me
Doorways spilling out their sombre light
Casting shadows that will raid the night
Along the alleys of her ruling fears
Walk the visions that'll cause her tears
Lying still as she wills her glance
Through the eyes of a charmer's trance
Please, my friend, no matter what she sees
Tell my lover come back to me
To me
To me
To me
And on the walls shadows play
Twilight souls, anguished ways
Lost adrift severed seas
I await you, come to me
Silence swimming in a pool of dreams
Beneath its depths the forgotten streams
Above the city of the evening star
Behind its walls the grand bazaar
As she walks through its endless maze
Cursing those who mistrust her ways
Please, my friend, no matter what she sees
Tell my lover come back to me
To me
To me
To me
3. Lullaby
You've been looking for god
You've been down on your knees
Will the angels believe you now?
Wanting more than the bliss
Of a beautiful kiss
From the lips of the one who fell
Well, it's hard to tell now
It's like an opium dream
Through your psyche it streams
It relieves and believes the pain
That you fought in vain, well
Oh, no, please don't
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
'Cause you're sleeping tonight
Sleeping tonight
Safe in the arms of Morpheus
You've escaped through these means
These delirious dreams
Helped to shelter and soothe your soul
The regrettable roles
The salvation they sold
Satisfied your desire to burn
And now you've learned
Oh, no, please don't
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
'Cause you're sleeping tonight
Sleeping tonight
Safe in the arms of Morpheus
And we're waving goodbye
You're sleeping tonight
Safe in the arms of Morpheus
4. Psychopomp
You wanted this
So sad to see
The sweet decay
Of ecstasy
And you want it all
And you want it all
A frozen sun
Would guide you there
As shadows hide
The deep despair
And you want it all
And you want it all
I'll give you something more
And you'll fade away
One last kiss before
You fade away
So sleep tonight
In idle dreams
The pain will drown
Your silent screams
And you want it all
And you want it all
I'll give you something more
And you'll fade away
One last kiss before
You fade away
Lives you once adored
Will fade away
Lies you can't ignore
You soon repay
As you fade away
As you fade away
As you fade away
As you fade away
And you'll fade away
5. Correspondences
Hope springs to life
Charmed by approaching listlessness
Hands reaching out
To grasp the open emptiness
And, oh, leading me down
Oh, leading me down
And this goodbye
Faced with hope and countenance
Souls slip away
To bask in glowing radiance
And, oh, leading me down
Oh, leading me down
As we run from the sun
And we harbour the lies
And we leave things undone
As we cover our eyes
Does it tear you apart, my love?
Does it tear you apart, my love?
'Cause it tears me apart
Charmed by this light
Sombre guidance in her eyes
Rage would entice
And final moments would arise
And, oh, leading me down
Oh, leading me down
Oh, leading me down
Does it tear you apart, my love?
Does it tear you apart, my love?
Does it tear you apart, my love?
Does it tear you apart, my love?
'Cause it tears me apart
'Cause it tears me apart
'Cause it tears me apart
'Cause it tears me apart
You tear me apart
You tear me apart
6. The Messenger
Got a letter from a messenger
I read it when it came
It said that you were wounded
You were bound and chained
You had love and you were handled
You were poisoned, you were pained
Oh, no, oh, no
You were naked, you were shamed
You could almost touch heaven
Right there in front of you
Liberty just slipped away on us
Now there's so much work to do
Oh, the door that closes tightly
Is the door than can swing wide
Oh, no, oh, no
Not expecting to collide
For a minute I let my guard down
Not afraid to be found out
I completely forgot, dear
What our fears were all about
Oh, no, oh, no
There's no need to be without
If there's a chance I would take it
This desire I can't kill, no
Take my heart, please don't break it
I will crawl to your foothill
I'm frightened but I'm coming
Please, baby, please lay still
Oh, no, oh, no
I'm not coming for the kill
Oh, no
I'm not coming for the kill
Oh, no
I'm not coming for the kill
7. Fire In The Head
You stay
Silent, knowing, always in time
See how this love stays divine
See how this love stays divine
You stay
Silent, knowing, always in time
See how this love stays divine
See how this love stays divine
Sleep here
Hoping, knowing, always in time
See how the love stays divine
See how the love stays divine
This is the way, step inside
And I'm waiting
When I return to her I find
And I'm waiting
Flowers of evil in my mind
And I'm waiting
Dancing with fire on the edge
And I'm waiting
Remembering all of what she said
And I'm waiting
Hoping the rains will wash away
And I'm waiting
Hoping a guide will show the way
And I'm waiting
Dancing with fire on the edge
And I'm waiting
Remembering all of what she said
With this fire in the head
You stay
Silent, knowing, always in time
See how this love stays divine
See how this love stays divine
This is the way, step inside
And I'm waiting
When I return to her I find
And I'm waiting
Flowers of evil in my mind
And I'm waiting
Dancing with fire on the edge
And I'm waiting
Remembering all of what she said
And I'm waiting
Hoping the rains will wash away
And I'm waiting
Hoping a guide will show the way
And I'm waiting
Dancing with fire on the edge
And I'm waiting
Remembering all of what she said
With this fire in the head
Yeah
Sleep here
Hoping, knowing, always in time
See how the love stays divine
See how the love stays divine
This is the way, step inside
8. The Badger

9. Shadows On The Mountainside
We are spirits passing through the doors of time
With an invitation heard before we find
Shadows on the mountainside
Eagles find the souls they hide
And the outcast child enchanted by the sun
Will he seek his shelter never knowing one?
Shadows on the mountainside
Eagles find the souls they hide
Shadows on the mountainside
Cover me, oh no
Cover me with sleep please
'Cause I need it now
I need it now
And red rivers flow to the seas
And she, she will return to me
And then all that I am is in her hands
And I will return to her and then and then and then
I begin
10. Sun Going Down
I woke up this morning, someone was knocking at my door
I woke up this morning, someone was knocking at my door
And I said, "Hello, sweet Satan, I believe it's time to go"
Thirteenth apostle knocking at my door
Telling me that I can't play with you no more
I guess the wages of sin now, couldn't buy my meals
Screaming out your name, babe, how does that feel?
Feeling through the out door, all throughout the night
Waiting for the doctor to come and make me right
Fading from the bedside, I've lost all appeal
To stay with you, baby, baby, how does that, baby, how does that feel?
Sun's going down, sun's going down
Sun's going down, sun's going down
Oh, go down
Sing throughout the streets, babe, and you sing throughout the night
You go and tell the people, people, my soul is aflight
I guess the wages of sin now, yeah, they couldn't buy my meals
I'm screaming out your name, baby, how does that feel? It feels good
Thirteenth apostle knocking at my door
Telling me that I can't, I can't play with you no more, mama
I guess the wages of sin now, yeah, they couldn't buy my meals
I'm screaming out your name, girl, baby, how does that, now, honey, how does that feel?
Yeah, sun's going down, sun's going down
Oh, yeah, sun's going down, sun's going down
Oh, come on, baby, sun's going down, sun's going down
Going down, you're going out
Ooh, baby, come on in my kitchen, come on in my room
Looked at the heavens above and I said a little prayer
As if the heavens above would even care
Looked at the heavens above and I said a little prayer
As if the heavens above would even care, care
I said, Jesus, won't you meet me in the middle of the air?
I think my wings are falling below, Jesus, I need another pair
Jesus, won't you meet me in the middle of the air?
I think my wings are falling below, I need another pair
Saint Peter at the gates of heaven, baby, won't you let me in, let me in
Saint Peter at the gates of heaven, honey, won't you let me in, let me in
Saint Peter at the gates of heaven, baby, won't you let me in, let me in
I said, now, Peter, listen, Peter, come on, Peter, won't you let me in
Right now, right now, no, no, now, now, yeah
I said sun was going down, sun was going down
Sun was going down, it's going down, it's going down, it's going down
I said it's going, going, going, going, going
You know, you know, oh yeah, all right
Oh, the sun was going down
11. The Halcyon Days
Alone, left here in dust
Amidst my fears and doubts
Life's shattered dreams
I could have done without
Now chthonic life has set its sights
On making me a slave to its ways
I wait for return, until then, my soul, it burns
And it burns only for you
And I'll be with you soon
And I'll be with you soon
Night, it falls on me endlessly
And I search for you in this blindness
I'm a prodigy of lust and loss
Till sleep comes down
I can't explain, but disdain remains
Some treason, I can't reason
They left me here, for dead, my dear
Barely breathing, but I'm still breathing
And I'll be with you soon
I see a light
I think it's shining from above
I think they've finally come
The halcyon days
I'm crawling now, up towards the sound
Of vengeance, moving swiftly
I've conquered fear, I've shed my tears
Now I'm seething, and I'm still breathing
And I'll be with you soon
I see a light
I think it's shining from above
I think they've finally come
The halcyon days
I see a light
I think it's shining from above
I think they've finally come
The halcyon days
12. Save Me
I must leave you tonight, my love, remain so faithfully
I must go off to war, my dear, the kings await me
I will go so far away
I will always love you, but you knew it
I regret to tell you, your man has died tonight
He was a brave man, he fought a brave fight
He was killed by the other side
He was killed by the other men's knives
She said save me
Save me
Why must you love this man? He is your brother
This is easy to understand, my son, there is no other
I cannot pretend to love this man like my father
I cannot pretend, mother, there is no other
She said save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
When there is no truth, let's end this lie tonight
This is easy to understand, without your best eyes
But I see a new sun rising in the east
But I see a new sun rising in the east
She said save me
Save me
Save me
Save you
13. Heaven Coming Down
With nothing to do
You'd waste away
Obscured in exile
They've witnessed the times
You've gone astray
And whose fault?
Now you're thinking
Ah, there's nothing to prove
A snapshot from the crowd to the shore, baby
And it feels now
Just like heaven's coming down
So strange are the ways
They all have changed
Still life, it stayed the same
A break from the past
Could make it last
Oh, maybe just a little longer
Now there's nothing to prove
A snapshot from the crowd to the shore, baby
And it feels now
Just like heaven's coming down
Your soul shakes free
As its conscience hits the ground
You surrender
Love under will
Rest assured
Baby, you're adored
And it feels now
Just like heaven's coming down
Your soul shakes free
As its conscience hits the ground
These signs, this fate
Takes a path you didn't choose
Stay strong, keep faith
There's a change that's coming through
Feels like heaven's coming down
Hold on, my love
Feels like heaven's coming down
Hold on, my love
Feels like heaven's coming down
Hold on, my love
Feels like heaven's coming down
14. Release
I want the world to wake
I want to give you peace
I want to vindicate
You need to be released
Don't want to hurt you
I need to make you see
If I desert you
It's just to make you see
That I'm a man that's weak
And I'm a man that's lost
I gave it all away
To complicate the cost
Don't want to hurt you
I need to make you see
If I desert you
It's just to make you see
Not going to hurt you now
I need to make you see
If I desert you now
It's just to make you see
I want you to be free
I want you to be free from me
I want you to be free
I want you to be free from me
I want you to be free
I want you to be free from me
I want you to be free
I want you to be free from me
15. Temptation
Driven by restrained desire
I want what I need
Shaking as her sex takes hold
I've lost all control
Temptation
Temptation
Drowning in a sea of rage
I taste the embrace
Helpless as it steals my soul
I've lost all control
Temptation
It never lets me down
Temptation
One foot in the ground
We exist in a world
Where the fear of illusion is real
And we cling to the past
To deny and confuse the ideal
Once inside we conceive
And believe in a god we can't feel
I can't feel it
I can't feel it
I can't feel
Destined by a fate so cruel
I'm drugged to delight
Laughing as these lies unfold
I've lost all control
Temptation
It never lets me down
Temptation
One foot in the ground
Temptation
You satisfy my soul
Temptation
I've lost all control
16. Sister Awake
When the winter was over
She returned there to find him
And her memories filled her with light
She remembered the beauty
She remembered desires
And her memories filled her with light
I am the sun in the flame
Cold from the flame turns away
And in these winds came a change
She awakes
Sister, walk through these fields of delight
I want you to know
Desperation's the tenderest trap
So gently you go
What will it take?
Sister awake
Sister awake
Sister
Sister
When this beautiful cult of desire
Has left you for dead
Isolation will cradle the lies
Of things left unsaid
What will it take?
Sister awake
Sister awake
Sister
Sister
And you'll look to the heavens above
And taste its deceit
These temptations have blinded desires
To sleep at their feet
What will it take?
Sister awake
Sister awake
Sister
Sister
Sister
Sister
And you'll hear them call out your name
Invoking the fates
Chances are you've travelled too far
In stirring their hate
So what will it take?
My sister awake
Sister awake
Sister awake
Awake
Awake
