Song of the Rose

I see you across the wasteland
It seems I'm always chasing you
Give me a glimpse of yourself
Just to keep me chasing you
When we meet
We shall palaver
Tell my future
Tell my fears
When I wake
I'll be all alone
To find that you are
Dust and bone
Wake to the sound
Sounds so profound
In a field of a million brilliant roses
Calling out names
Of all those who gave
Their heart and soul
So we stand here
Wake to the sound
So goddamn loud
In a field of a million brilliant roses
Calling out names
Each rose is a grave
And they gave their all
So we stand here
Hold on
We're coming home
Hold on
We're already gone

We live too fast to read this day
So fast we cannot run away
Too fast our lives will all blur grey
There's a candle in the window
There's smoke in the stack
There's a dakrness in the corners
And no turning back
To the fields
To the fields where we once ran
Where we set all our shit on fire
No chance to retrace our steps
Carried by forward momentum
We are gone
How we fall
The way we crawl
Through the soil
This turmoil
Ever since the sun was not whole
We have blindly stumbled
Feeling for our feet
There's a candle in the window
There's smoke in the stack
There's a dakrness in the corners
And no turning back

Revelations
04:28
|

The demon wept
While his angel slept
And a scene in sleep was born
She faced her beast
With a knowing glare
And from the dream
Was torn
Goodbye you demons
Hello freedom
Goodbye to the only place
Where we can no longer reside
She faced her beast with a knowing glare
And from the dream was torn
A darkness came upon her
And gave her eyes to see
That she could love herself
Because she is worthy
Goodbye you demons
Hello freedom
Goodbye to the only place
Where we can no longer reside
Takes the darkness
Turns it into something pure
Never falters
In her darkest hour
Takes the darkness
Turns it into something pure

As the generals amass their human sheilds
We must all fly
As the rainbow drains of all its colour
We must all fly
As the sun sets into the holy ground
We must all fly
With our feet firmly planted
Within the ground
Only pigs can fly
As we make this plea to you
As we make this deal with you
By the setting of the sun
Could you please grow some thumbs
Could we make this any clearer
As we beg to you our dear
Before this bloody day is through
Can we all stand true
As we make this plea to you
As we make this deal with you
By the setting of the sun
Could you please grow some thumbs
Will we all stand our ground
Or watch it come falling down

End of the End
03:29
|

Time is not tick tock
A stone is just a smaller rock
A key is useless with no lock
System always needs a shock
We have your shoes
And are ten miles away
Watching you stand in desert and day
While the blind and ignorant souls
Eat up the whites of their eyes
Tenfold

Maybe we all wear different clothes
Maybe our skins are the many colours of the rainbow
Maybe we all speak different tongues
Surely we all breathe through the same set of lungs
To me there is no difference
Between president, beggar or king
To me all our voices are golden
So rise up and sing

Old Man Death
03:47
|

This young man
Born a ghost
A pale shade
Devoid of flesh
A surgeon's hands could not free him
A mother's arms could not hold him
A Father's eyes never stood a chance
Of seeing anything
This old man
Plays a game of death
With his soul
And his bones
Drives his spirit
To the point of no return
This old man opens cupboards
And lays his soul so bare
Nothing to feed
The demons and angels
That lurk in there
This old man
Plays a game of death
So fall by the wayside
And keep it at arm's length
And hold your head in the general place
That they all say
So fall by the way side
And keep it at arm's length
And hold your head in the general place
That they all say
So keep your head still
And keep your arms straight
We're coming for you
In the darkest part of your mind
We're all with you

Pandora
02:55

Sky was watching
Air was clear
Something seems to be happening here
Creeping up
Like a shadow
Was the change of misdirection
Corrupting angles with infection
Why must we bleed for more
At the feet of Pandora
Earth can kiss feet
The fire's fierce
Something seems to happening here
Seems we've been walking
Around in circles
Chasing the tail
Of something burning
Believing theres a point
To returning
Why must we bleed for more
At the feet of Pandora
