It’s Curious, That you could never stop what Anybody wants to think, It’s Dangerous, To realize that you’re the only one that ever really cared, That’s Life! My soul is on fire and I still stand My soul is on fire and i still stand It’s serious, Bleeding from the edges of a solitary blade It’s a ritual, Taken from another in the form of an eternal flame That’s life! My soul is on fire and I still stand My soul is on fire and I still stand

Now I know, I’m in the presence of beauty When you dance, next to me… Deep inside you there’s a dark light It summoned us here tonight, A stunning picture - painted black in a hollow frame, A Phoenix spark about to burn (and There’s no return ) Now I know, I’m in the presence of beauty When you dance, next to me… I hear the distant sound of thunder Rain from high above comes pouring down, Illuminations casting shadows on us all, In this house that has no name (We face the Flame) Now I know, I’m in the presence of beauty When you dance, next to me… My beating heart it turns to silver on the wheel Any fear is turned to dust, No better way to bring the heavens to the ground Than you and I - I and you - Us Now I know, I’m in the presence of beauty When you dance, next to me…

In Dreamtime 05:19
In dreamtime There’s nothing left In dreamtime There’s nothing at all I find it absurd, I can’t find the words It’s so obscene I can’t do what I need, To make myself clean In dreamtime The pain is real In dreamtime There’s nothing to fear I find it absurd, I can’t find the words It’s so obsceneI can’t do what I need, To make myself clean In Dreamtime… I find it absurd, I can’t find the words It’s so obscene I can’t do what I need, To make myself clean

The snow should cover up my bones In a place nobody really knows, Hidden in a secret grave deep dark and cold, In silence and blackness Forever… Across the river - two coins for the ferryman, Across the river - is where i need to go, Across the river - two coins for the ferryman Lay my sword beside me It’s time to leave this disguise If you could see me through my eyes, So lay me in a final place - so I can avoid the the light, In silence and blackness Forever… Across the river - two coins for the ferryman, Across the river - is where i need to go, Across the river - two coins for the ferryman Lay my sword beside me The sadness and the pain It’s not how it should be - it’s killing me Can’t you see? I’m in shadow endlessly Across the river - two coins for the ferryman, Across the river - is where i need to go, Across the river - two coins for the ferryman Lay my sword beside me I'm In shadows...

Outgunned 02:31
Think About it You can’t win ‘em all Just think about it, Think about it And keep your mouth shut Just think about it You shouldn’t act so emotional, Would you rather be dead? Think about it, no one really cares, Just think about it, Think about it, Is all that drama for real? Just think about it! You shouldn’t act so emotional, Would you rather be dead?

Everything I feel fades to black, Your eyes tell me more than I should know, But the memory remains… Set me free - ‘cause I got nothing more to say Set me free - I’m waiting on the the night Set me free - ‘cause I got nothing more to say Set me free - I’m waiting on the the night This is how you chose things to be, And in this quiet twilight, The memory remains… Set me free - ‘cause I got nothing more to say Set me free - I’m waiting on the the night Set me free - ‘cause I got nothing more to say Set me free - I’m waiting on the the night Watching the sun slowly fading away It’s the end of all we know I’m watching the sun slowing fading away It’s the end of all we know… Set me free…

I feel the void - there’s darkness all around me, To travel at the speed of light All alone up here… I prepare for my return… It’s very different where I come from (under twin suns) It’s a millennium away (under twin suns) Oh you people of earth! You know I wish you well (under twin suns) A radio transmission - is calling me home I’m weightless - suspended animation, All systems checking in As I begin to engage… And I am ready to return It’s very different where I come from (under twin suns) It’s a millennium away (under twin suns) Oh you people of earth! You know I wish you well (under twin suns) A radio transmission - is calling me home To travel at the speed of light, All alone up here! And I'm ready to return! It’s very different where I come from (under twin suns) It’s a millennium away (under twin suns) Oh you people of earth! You know I wish you well (under twin suns) A radio transmission - is calling me home

Whisper 03:30
I know it’s seems you’re used to nothingness, And I know it feels so cold and grey, And here I am - all by myself (just speak the words) Waiting for you to call on me - so… Whisper my name Night will fall, night will fall ! Whisper my name Night will fall, night will fall! I know you live without much happiness I know how painful a heart can be And here I am speaking softly now (just speak the words) Biding my time until I see you - so… Whisper my name Night will fall, night will fall! Whisper my name Night will fall, night will fall! Just speak the words Just speak the words Too little time - let’s not waste this time, There’s too little time we’re bleeding out time, And we’ve got nothing to show… I know that change is something new for you, and I can see the sadness in your soul, but here I am - waiting patiently (just speak the words) Finish the spell and be beside me… Whisper my name Night will fall, night will fall! Whisper my name Night will fall, night will fall!
