Limbo
05:55
|

|
Stranded deep in limbo
A satellite to naught
No one hears you screaming
You're lost inside your thoughts
A stain upon the fabric
Of the cold and vast unknown
You strike your final matchstick
In the hope someone will show
A torment constellation
A signal from the abyss
That bears a crown of fire
A lantern in the mist
You see it form before you
Silhouetted in the dark
An old revolving staircase
To the summit in the stars
Stranded deep in limbo
A satellite to naught
Walking up the staircase
Walking to the door

The Wheel
11:14
|
|||
|
A sky afar
On a silent tune
A sky too far
A ghost of a star
To its haunt in the dark
The wheel is turning round
Its tracks etched in the ground
A trail of tears
Nobody goes near
Like the morn that showed no light
Like the frost that bites you at night
A crystal moon
In it's palest blue
A sky too soon
That's clothed up in grey
They'll drive me away
On wheels of wood and steel
To paintings of dreams unreal
In frozen frames
Imprison my brain
Like the morn when sun was shy
Like the grave I'll see when I die
Drawing circles in the sand
Birds of prey survey the land
Take the wheel
There's damage to be done
Nothing here is real
There's no earth to be won
Make believe
That everyone is gone
To the big surreal
The silverest of suns
Hear them
Footsteps in the dark
See them
Standing tall and stark
Hear them
Silent as the tomb
See them
Servants to the moon
Pale blue
Emptiness surrounds
Sticks to you like glue
No one makes a sound
Break through
Sitting on a cloud
Everything you knew
Is buried underground
Hear them
Footsteps in the rain
See them
Surveying their domain
Hear them
Loading up their guns
See them
Servants to the sun

Signals In The Sand
04:07
|
|||
|
Stuck in outer space
No one sees your face
This is now your place
To throw yourself to waste
Never be afraid
To throw yourself away
To blacken out the day
The Heavens called your name
Like thunder through the rain
As lightning struck your brain
Calling to the night
Calling to the light
This was not your fight
You say it can't be right
Never fly too high
For every star must die
As darkness chokes the fire
With dreams they left destroyed
And strung up round the void
Where nothing more remains
Those signals in the sand
Trace them with your hands
And break these iron chains

Evening Star
03:03
|
|||
|
There were times I watched the stars
Hoping they would blow away
All this pain around my heart
Then you came and brought the day
I saw you through the darkness
Some cold and empty night
You showed me where my heart is
You showed me to the light
Take me to the stars with you
To a place where diamonds rain
All across a sea of blue
Far away from all this pain
There's no one there to find us
There's only you and me
So leave this world behind us
Someday we will be free
Let me be your evening star
Keep your nightmares far at bay
And be your light within the dark
Till the morning comes our way
I really want to see you
Don't leave me in the dark
I never want to leave you
Please let me in your heart

Revolving Staircase
02:40
|
|||
|
We the scars of days of old
We the stories left untold
We the keepers of the cold
Of the staircase that revolves
Round the silverest of suns
Round the iciest of moons
What you will and will become
What you will and will not do

||||
|
We the talkers to the dead
We the ghosts beneath your bed
We the voices in your head
This the old gatekeeper said
Those who enter must take heed
Of the realm where naught remains
Of the ones who walk unseen
Drawn like moths unto a flame
|

9. |
||||
|
Sun's burning purple
On a sky full of grey
Running in circles
Cause you can't run away
Look at the churchyard
Painted over in red
Here come the lifeguards
Here to keep you in bed
You watch the diamonds rain
Falling round your brain
You no longer feel the pain
You no longer feel insane
Staircase revolving
Round the silverest sun
The world's started ending
The end has begun
