2. Moviedrome

Stay down! Like a shadow in a hallway
Watching all the blues and greens
As I hide from the glare of the monitor screen
Run fast! Like a shadow in a subway
Try to remain unseen
As I hide from the glare of the T.V. screen

We're all sucked in
Part of the core collective
We're all dragged in
Blind to the cause we've been selected for....Elected for

Stand still! Like a ghost in the Firewall
Watching all the blues and greens
As I listen to the rhythm of the fax machine

What will I be when winter comes again?
And we're wrapped in furs, and life has begun again

And it hurts to be away from you
From the world you made so well

What will I be when the summer comes once more?
And we're naked and weak in the eye of the sun once more

We're all sucked in

'Leave it on the net' demands the optimist
'No room for slaves to high tech reform'
Maybe there's a way to save the pessimist
He could make it to the hills and ride out the storm

'Formulas are set' declares the analyst
'This is the road for everyone'
Maybe we can hide, continue to exist
With a crate of bottled water and a sawn off shot gun

Try to survive – Don't look into his eyes
Try to stay alive – Don't look into his dead dead eyes

You can send me codes
From the safety of a chat room
In your grey ether clothes
I have looked into your soul
Looked into your soul!

I'm sitting with my head in the radiogram
Waiting for some sign of a ghost or a little green man
Glued to the glowing of a sun behind the plastic hood
And the bass heavy tones
That ooze from the pores in the wood
Oh no.... I can't go there again
Oh no..... Was this ever meant to be?

I'm sitting on the floor with the book in my hand
Dreaming of the world in a way that only children can
And I listen for the emanating sounds from the hidden choirs
The message in the radiant valves and red hot wires
Oh no.... I can't go there again
Oh no..... Was this ever meant to be?

To think it has come to this
Ruled by indifference
Underlying waves of doubt
Such arrogant self reliance
Too far we have travelled out
Nervous in our sentience
Ordinary people
Objects and events
Now is a time of foolish fears
Emotions run high and needless tears are shed

He has the face of a friend
And shall reach across the world into every home
We invite him in and offer no defence
And with every given soul he reaches for his throne
He has the face of an Angel
As he leads us in the dance
Until we find ourselves......alone!

So we're standing in the Moviedrome
Staring at the shadows and the falling lights
Prisoners forever in the Moviedrome
Letting all the pictures be the
Guide to our fragile lives
Did we ever really learn?
Did we never really learn?
The human race has found it's own true home
The dwelling places of these high tech lies
The few that see the world beyond the Moviedrome
Must march on through the wilderness
Of fantasy, False images, And pride

3. A Crack In The Ice

Dead calm
Raining all over me
Too late
Sense of mortality
Dark skies
Threaten to swallow me
Down to the flame
While my flesh and my bone melt away

I defy you to stand on the crack in the ice
With the power of your hand
On the crack in the ice

Men
Raped and discarded
Are left dead
The vultures will feed on them
Lost cause
Tearing this life apart
Thrown to the flame
While my flesh and my bone melt away

I defy you to stand on the crack in the ice
With the power of your hand
On the crack in the ice

Take this moment so close to my heart
You held the white rose out
Just before we parted
Take this moment so far away in dreams
I can feel the thorns bite
But the flower died, it seems

Hold this feeling so close to my heart
You brought the passion out
Just before we parted
Hold this feeling so far away in dreams
I can feel the thorns bite
But the flower starts to bleed

I defy you to stand on the crack in the ice
With the power of your hand
On the crack in the ice

4. Double Vision

I've seen that face before
Demon eyes watch what an Angel once saw
I've seen that face before
Lying in shadows but hard to ignore

No where to run
No where to hide

I've seen this place before
A wilderness born from the torment of souls
(Yes!) I've seen this place before
A memory lost as the story unfolds

No where to run
No where to hide
No where to run
No where to hide

...."I will always find you!"

We played this game before
Counting no cost but keeping the score
(Yes!) We played this game before
Eyes to the front and backs to the wall

I've stood right here before

5. Midas Vision

Creeping out into the night
Keep your hands outstretched and
your eyes closed tightly
Running out on your own
Don't answer the door or the telephone
This is no kind of a dream
Not a blessing but a curse
This is no illusion
You've had them before –
this isn't the first

Reaching out – so cold!
What did I say – did I do
To lose my hold on you

Everything you touch
With your finger tips –
Hurts so much
There's a fallen wish
it's shattered on the ground
like a broken gift
The Midas Vision
Was always beating in your heart
The foolish greed, the golden seed
Is dragging out of the reason
and tearing you apart!

Reaching out – so cold!
What did I say – did I do
To lose my hold on you?
Reaching out with
all that I could give
What should I say – should I do
To make you....

Holding out, holding out your hands
Open up, open up your eyes
Is that the knock
or the ringing of the bell
Open the door
to your own private hell.

Reaching out – so cold!
What did I say – did I do
To lose my hold on you?
Reaching out
with all that I could give
What should I say – should I do
To make you live again?

Reaching out – so cold!
What did I say – did I do
To lose my hold on you?
Reaching out
with all that I could give
What should I say – should I do
to make you live again?

7. The Butterfly Man

He waits in the dark for lives, misguided and wrecked
The catcher of innocent souls
He's proud of his human collection
Of losers who give up the chase
Of winners who fail to look round
He creeps up behind the fallen and blind
They're gone! With hardly a sound

'Save me – somebody reach out a hand
Save me from eternity caught in the grip of
The Butterfly Man'

He waits in the dark for the scent of anger or hate
He hides behind ignorance
And it's never for long that he has to wait
A gentle caress
Is enough before fear takes a hold
The warning signs come far too late
By then he'll have captured your soul

'Save me – somebody reach out a hand
Save me from the agony caught in the grip of
The Butterfly Man'

'Save me – somebody reach out a hand
Save me from eternity caught in the grip of
The Butterfly Man'

'I've been here for so long
Don't even know what my purpose ever was
I don't even know where I belong
Through the years I've been waiting
Even time has lost it's meaning
Don't even know where I belong'

'Can't ever turn from this path
Don't even know what alternatives there are
Perhaps I wandered too far
I've been here for so long
Don't even hope for an end to all of this
I have no choice, but to carry on'

There you are fighting to escape from the womb
Dying in the snares of your chosen beliefs
Were you not set free far too soon?
There you are bathing in the warmth of creation
Drowning in the blood of your chosen beliefs
Prisoners of fate
Living in a state of sedation

'Save me – somebody reach out a hand
'Save me – somebody reach out a hand
Save me from eternity caught in the grip of
The Butterfly Man'

He waits in the dark
The catcher of elegant souls
Extravagant souls
Belligerent souls

He waits in the dark
His arms open wide
Never too short
Never too tall
He'll take them all

8. The Hanging Tree

Walk along the waterfall
Watching as the world turns red
Wonder where the river flows
And the blood on the river bed
Poison lies too close to us
Reach across the salt and sand
Moving deeper into the land

Following the waterfall
Watching as the world turns green
Wonder where the river flows
The copper face remains unseen
Ignorance has failed to cleanse
Reach across the salt and sand
Moving deeper into the land

Crying as the earth cries out
Weeping as the land decays
Wonder if I could have helped
Maybe I'd have found a way
Poison lies too close to us
Reach across the salt and sand
Moving deeper into the land

Cling to the branch of a tree
That was waiting for
Something to preach
Someone to teach
The Word was the first
And the last to be heard
From the branch of the tree
It was praying for me to fall down

Climb to the top of a tree
That was waiting for
Someone to warn
A life to be torn into
Pieces of gold
For a soul to be sold
And the heart of the tree
Was crying for me to come back

Take me to the hanging tree
There's a man in the light
And he's pointing at me
Guide me to the hanging tree
It's the place that I come from
Walk along the waterline
Reach across the salt and the sand
Moving deeper into the land

Take me to the hanging tree
There's a boy in the light
And he's staring at me
Take me to the hanging tree
It's the place that I come from
Walk along the waterline
Reach across the salt and the sand
Moving deeper into the land
I'm falling.....Falling down again!

9. A State Of Grace

Thinly veiled, a cruel disguise
Vengeance lies behind these eyes
Glaring from the pulpit
As the Fallen Angels follow me
Plageristic sermons
Hiding voyeuristic undertones
Foolishly they will embrace
And ignorant they follow me

You've never truly known
The kind of place that I come from
You turned your back on all the signs
That bore the words of warning

Come to me my simple child
Tear apart your innocence
Pray with me beloved son
And I will help you find a way
Think before you throw yourself
Upon the tables and the merchant s
Are you sure this temple
Isn't just another cruel perversion?

You've never truly known
The kind of place that I come from
You turned your back on all the signs
That bore the words of warning

Don't look for comfort in this house of mine
Don't ask for mercy at my image or my shrine
Don't seek forgiveness at this house of mine
Don't build a temple here
And wait for me to walk into the fire

I will make this promise now
A simple thing, a sacred vow
Come with me my pretty Angel
I will show you how to fly
We will fall together
Into unforgiving night we plunge!
Chained by sin and clothed by guilt
We will be as one forever

Don't look for comfort in this house of mine
Don't ask for mercy at my image or my shrine
Don't look for comfort in this house of mine
Don't break the Holy bread or drink the Holy wine
Don't seek forgiveness at this house of mine
Don't build a temple here
And wait for me to walk into the fire

10. Enemy Without

Something on the edge of this place
Something on the edge of my mind
Getting closer to me
Growing stronger in me all the time

The young foretell a life ahead
The old look back on a life that's been led
But I – I see nothing
Got too much sand across my head
Sit there waiting for the phone to ring
Hopes in the attic, tied up with string
On a top shelf, bottom drawer
Any place I could ignore
The falling of this hero

No! Don't let the child die here
Don't let the child die here
Don't let his life just fade away
Don't let the child die....

I made a promise – my soul laid bare
Signed and sealed on a wing, on a prayer
But thrown to the darkness
It lies beyond repair
This solemn oath I swore to you
Has been neglected and unused
In a back room, not on show
Anywhere just not to know
The falling of this hero

No! Don't let the child die here
Don't let the child die here
Don't let his life just fade away
Don't let the child die....

I let the orphan fall, tears remained unseen
I let the child die on signal fifteen
I missed the vital signs and all of the meanings

You cannot judge me
That's not your place
There's a jury for the crime's of my disgrace
You hide behind those vacant words
Have you seen what I've seen?
Have you heard what I've heard?

You cannot judge me
That's not your right
This is my room, no key, no light
You stand behind those faithless words
Have you seen what I've seen?
Have you heard what I've heard?

No! Don't let the child die here
Don't let the child die here
Don't let his life just fade away
Don't let the child die here

Don't let the child die here
Don't let the child die here
Don't let his life just fade away
Don't let the child die here

Don't let the child die here
Don't let the child die here
Don't let his life just fade away
Don't let the child die

11. Crying For Help VII

Help me, help me.........help me

Let us share this hope
That we may close our eyes in peace
Follow what may rise from this
Standing in the halls of grace
Let my people go
Was the cry I heard from far away
I should have known
Not to trust every word I heard them say

Help me, help me.........help me

There's a face I can see
Staring back in desperation
Nowhere to turn to now
Drowning in this sea of fate
Don't run! Don't hide!
The devil will find you anywhere
We should never have lied
The sin was always there

Help me, help me.........help me

This choice must be free
Answers do not grow on trees
We must face our enemies
With faith in one another
Don't fall down! Don't lie down!
You can lean on me my friend
The future may not bring us luck
But together we can go down fighting!

Help me, help me.........help me
Help me, help me.........help me

13. Chosen

Take a leap of faith if you want to find out!

We live amongst you
In the guise of the mortal men
You'll never see us in the crowd
We only look towards
What purpose we've been sent
And wait until the time is now

Take a leap of faith if you want to find out
Better hold on tight if you want to know how
Take a leap of faith if you want to find out
You have been chosen!

Imagine you can tell us all apart
From prophecy or old wives tales
Or from the warnings of a singular birthmark
But these are merely all false trails

Wisdom spat from the whirling chair
Shaking the bars when they stop and stare at me

Take a leap of faith if you want to find out
Better hold on tight if you want to know how
Take a leap of faith if you want to find out
You have been chosen....Now!

The faceless followers knelt in prayer
Near Whited sepulchres and lightly coded software

Freedom of speech – But we have no voice
Freedom of spirit – But we have no choice
Given no help – To meet these demands
Given no help – It's out of our hands

Never turn around never look behind
Got to turn the water into wine

Take a leap of faith if you want to find out
Better hold on tight if you want to know how
Take a leap of faith if you want to find out
You have been chosen....Now!

15. Friday's Dream

What I dream tonight may rest with me
Till morning comes again
From the truth comes light
We're vulnerable, as we shelter from the rain
This is a place where all I touch
May not be as it seems

When I close my eyes I pray that you
May shield me from this pain
Hidden from my sight
So dangerous, as we shelter from the rain
This is a place where all I touch
May not be as it seems
And still we go on waiting for Friday's Dream

It's a world that's far away
From the sound of people calling
'free me from these chains'
It's a moment of escape
As the blood of fallen angels scars the earth
Tearing at the innocent once more

What I dream tonight may rest with me
Till morning comes again
Weakened by our doubts
We cling to this as we shelter from the rain

It's a world that's far away
From the sound of people calling
'free me from these chains'
It's a moment of escape
As the blood of fallen angels scars the earth
Tearing at the innocent once more
It's a world that's far away
From the sound of people calling
'free me from these chains'
It's a moment of escape
As the blood of fallen angels scars the earth
Burns the earth
Tearing at the innocent once more

When I close my eyes I pray we'll find
A shelter from the rain
What I dream tonight may rest with me
Till morning comes
Till morning comes and I wake up
