Blue God 09:21
They moved him there into power Playboy prince there in his tower New strength filled him, he’ll rule worlds now He said 'I’ll call them, to be our slaves here I'll summon them, they’ll meet their fate’ He twisted skies and reached through stars His questing hand stretched boundaries He found more than he could know Between the Emperor and the Blue God A colossus, ancient, seething through tears Beaten, prisoned, Blue God frees him New strength fills him, he’ll rule worlds now He heard a calling from a weak voice Awakened by the prince’s call, the call to join an inferior race. He first reacts with anger Then greed shows upon his face They moved him there into power Playboy prince there in his tower New strength filled him, he’ll rule worlds now He said 'I’ll call them, to be our slaves here I'll summon them, they’ll meet their fate’ He twisted skies and reached through stars His questing hand stretched boundaries He found more than he could know

Maybe 04:48
Maybe I'll be born again Kick as life begins again Feel the prison walls around me move Maybe I'll be great again Hand in hand with fate again Moving mountains for a glimpse of you But I'm here now and I'm trying to find a reason cause I've been drifting through the seasons without you Repeat Maybe I'll be alone again trying to find home again fighting on my own again without you Maybe you will run again Hiding from the light again Clouding vision for the ones who hunt you Maybe I'll grow old again Lie in wait for death again Choke on my last breath again without you And I don't know where you are or why but I see you in my mind's eye I know your name and with it I'll find you

Can you see, the heart of the Strangelove Crystal Eyes stare down to you Can you hear, the heart of the Strangelove Beating out it's messages for you Sweeter smells, and ringing bells Love rots, in the prison made for two Yellowed lace, and an pretty face And you trip, the snare made for you Chorus What will you do, with the rest of your days ? Look to the Sea, with it blues and grey's Look to the Sky, all planes and Satellites Look to the stars , to Sirius and Mars Scream my name at top of your voices Pretend and dream, I'm more than I am You need a hero like I need to breathe More than a man to lead the dance We strip to the bone all of our hopes Build them up and then paint it black You need a hero like I need to breathe More than a man to lead the dance But if comes back to the heart of our Strange love Despite and because we love to hate From the peaks and caves of the Strange love Your ruby heart beats and it waits Inside hope dies, you love the lies You think you deserve your fate Shallow and fawning, reality dawning Who'd have thought it was such a bitter taste ?

Bird 07:01
Take a look at magic in my eyes stop and try to read between the lines I walk to find A magic in my eyes I care, then throw Care to the skies I feed the small And wounded bird He grew and grew, Wings spanned the room No longer cupped In my open palm A ravens claws Ah Oh Oh Tore at my eyes Leaving me blind I left the room and roamed the desert Met an old man selling time in a jar He told me a story of his life gone by When he was young, strong and faithful He’d been called the Wandering Jew So many miles under his heels He said in every song that there is a tail In every tale there is a meaning All you have to do is read between the lines Close your eyes and the picture becomes clear Now all you need to do is find the words All you have to do is read between the lines I learned from the plants, how to bend A man so brittle, can only break Only when you have truly given Can you learn how to truly take A muse strikes from behind In these arid, barren wilds My life was music Music from the skies I learned how to grow wings Time taught me how to fly I swooped and I soared Climbed higher, so high I cried for the Moon And I reached for the Sun Until I was burned And fell to where I'd begun As he took me by the hand, I looked below to see The distant Oh desert sand, And music flows over me Now I knew just what it was He’d been trying to tell me And so I closed my eyes, You don’t need those to see Look through my eyes Can you learn Look through my eyes How to truly take Look through my eyes A man so brittle Look through my eyes Can only break

Placidity 06:22
This is placidity A search for tranquility The lake is so smooth This thought is so new Birds fly silent, On the surface to the silent sea Life from the river Leaks from the liquid tree Floating on the mirror A fisherman casts his line Ripples mar perfection Radiate circles in time There's no way of knowing What really brought him here With his torn and hollow heart And his consuming fear His bait is just memories And his prey is just a life Lost in the stillness As morning leaves the night Dark waters writhe and churn A disturbance deep below Distant primal shapes form A promise of hurt long ago Like a phoenix from the ash Brave beautiful Apollo breaks free Chasing the mist and sadness To return to the sea Below the surface of this jewel Dark twisting flowers reach Miring innocent love Casting haunted souls to the beach The fisherman fades with the night With memories of a tangled thread Taking words with no meaning To his watery bed His bait is just memories And his prey is just a life Lost in the stillness As morning leaves the night

I Know 09:16
I know I know I know I know Where I'm supposed to go But I don't want to be there In the rain and the snow All I want is to hold you tight And keep you from the cold Tell me that you'll miss me Kiss me then I'll go For a hundred years, The chains bite so deep, My skin grows over For a thousand years I keep on walking There is no other My eyes cast down, On holy ground, But my heart is strong And I fight, With my fellow man, But I'm gone to long I'd been waiting for the day When I'd leave all this, all this gathered over time, leave it so far behind behind We keep ourselves sane My mind nearly whole With thoughts of my home That other men stole And I have killed So many good men Now I am alone I dream of you again And I must avoid The tracks on my path I now know who made them It's a link to my past In the gardens of the East And the deserts of the South I take to the wing With no other way out Skimming the dunes And the mountain peaks Destined never to find What it is I seek I cry and I fall With my body broken And I see my future Before I have woken So black and burning A sky full of fire I stand at your side As you reach higher At night I dream In your eyes I see my death Through your eyes I'm seeing As I'm laid to rest In my heart I know Another Man Warms your bed At night I cry Your eyes Have seen my death So few are standing and our end is come Shoulder to shoulder We stand as one But the line is broken How can any survive They fall upon us Are none left alive ? Through the stinging rain And the freezing snow With the howling of the wind I can't see where to go Who knows where I'm going What I'll do when I'm there All I know is I want you I'll lie naked in your hair
