Rats In My Darkness
03:02
|

|
I stay alone sometimes,
Dreams are my only crimes.
Reach through the broken glass,
Free me from this cage at last.
Please turn the lights back on,
Stay until the rats are gone.

Ode To An Angel
Part 1. The Azure Blue Sea (Loss)
I once had an angel who watched over me,
Her eyes were as blue as the Azure sea.
She left one day for a normal life,
To make somebody the perfect wife.
I once knew an angel who watched over me,
Her eyes were a shade of the Azure blue sea.
Wish me away like the dreams in your head,
Try to forget all the things we said.
I dream of my angel,
And where she may be.
The warmth of her heartbeat,
It lingers with me.
I once had an angel who watched over me.
Part 2. Snowflakes In Your Hair (Sadness)
Time drags on like a dying man,
I’ve lost the moon and stars.
My journey’s reached it’s bitter end,
For I know that everything dies.
I can see you there in the pale moonlight,
Gentle snowflakes fall in your hair.
I am reaching now through the closing night,
But I know you’re not really there.
Part 3. The Hereafter (Anger)
A chill wind blows through the gaping hole,
Where you ripped out my heart and crushed my soul.
The cold of the moon and scorch of the sun,
Now mean nothing to me, the demon’s work is done.
But beware, the most dangerous are those that have nothing to loose.
Be careful what you wish for, which pathways you choose.
You stole my life, my song, my laughter,
But I will have them back when I come for you in the Hereafter.
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the lord my gun to keep,
If you die before I wake,
Then I’ll have one less life to take.
Part 4. The Gates Of Hell (Acceptance)
Meet me at the gates of hell,
When our souls are free.
I will hold you in my arms,
For eternity.

Like A Drug
05:05
|
|||
|
I looked in your eyes the last time that we met.
The tears in your heart that I'll never forget.
We once walked together on white desert sands,
The roar of the ocean, the touch of your hand.
You're like a drug,
You are what I need.
But love is the drug,
The call that I heed.
You're all that I need.
You're like the ocean, you change like the sea,
But deep down inside, what else could you be?
The story is over, the tide rushes in.
I dream that I'm flying, the journey begins.
You're like a drug,
You are what I need.
But love is the drug,
The call that I heed.
You're all that I need.
The tears that I bleed,
I need to believe.

The Hands Of Time
10:20
|
|||
|
I want to live a million years,
But time’s not on my side.
With coins of gold and potions bold,
I’ll stop the hands of time.
Free me from this icy grave,
From dust to dust, my soul to save,
The clock it tortures me.
The leaves in the trees,
Are playing softly in the breeze.
A calling dove is a reminder from above.
I feel the night will soon begin to fall,
The knowing voice of winter’s icy call.
One day they’ll awaken me,
From my eternal sleep,
Life brought back from the dead.
So take what is my to the ends of all time,
Wait for a chance to be free.
The yellow sun has risen quickly from the sea,
My mind drifts back, a subtle promise made to me.
I’m losing ground to the rising tide.
I can’t let go of this feeling inside.
Soon you will follow me into eternity,
Wake in my arms once again.
So take what is mine to the ends of all time,
Wait for a chance to be free.

The Oasis
02:42
|
|||
|
The wind in the willows
Is calling your name,
I wait in the forest
To hear it again.
Ten years have gone by now
Since you went away,
The trees all are dying
Though time’s not to blame.

Sanctity
04:50
|
|||
|
I lay in the forest at night,
By the brook and the old willow tree,
I dream of the joy we shared,
In my heart to my love and me.
I can’t live without you she said,
As her tears fell to the sea.
My heart belongs to another now,
But I need your sanctity.
My love for you is a part of me now,
It’s a force that I cannot control.
I know you’re gone,
But my hearts searches on,
For the dreams that I will not forgo.
I can’t live without you she said,
As her tears fell to the sea.
My heart belongs to another now,
But I need your sanctity.
And God knows we reap as we sow.
The life you’ve lead,
Has left me not alive and not yet dead.
I’m paying the price for you now,
My Angel of pain.

Providence
05:18
|
|||
|
I wander lonely in the rain,
It helps to understand the pain I feel.
The need in me is like the sea.
I don’t remember yesterday,
It sometimes better left
That way you see,
I’ve closed the door to a life before.
These memories are lost to me.
And the people that I see,
Now mean nothing much to me.
And the providence you gave,
Is the only thing I’ll save.
As I look towards the sea.
But the loneliness I’ve known,
And the truth that I’ve been shown.
Take me where I need to be.

My Atom Heart
02:21
|
|||
|
Listen to this heart of mine,
Beating to the hands of time.
I wonder now though if it slowed,
Is there the will to make it go?
I had a girl who once told me,
We'd be together for eternity.
She left one day but sent a note,
"I'm with him now" was all she wrote.
I think I'll fly across the sea,
To find somebody else like me.
We'll walk along the sandy coast,
A new beginning we will toast.
Listen to this heart of mine,
Beating to the hands of time.
I wonder now though if it slowed,
Is there the will to make it go?
