1. Lyre's Harmony

You see my future as uncertain
I see it as an endless string of now
And you dedicate your life to working
While I am working to design a way our

You seem to think I've no ambition
I say that you're the one who took the easy way
You've taken their agenda for your mission
While I refuse to hang on every word they say

Don't judge me or begrudge me the right to go on my own way
I know you have done your best to make me see the light of day
Your system can exist from the other slaves you've made
Let me be, I'll set myself free let's call it a fair trade

Yes, there are times I envy what you have
Parallel lives whispering
Haunt my envy step

I'll take no part of the virtues you are selling
You can't believe that I refuse your two edged blade
Why can't you see I understand what you are telling
And I accept it as a fair and even trade

Don't judge me, don't begrudge me the right to go on my own way
I know you have done your best to make me see the light of day
Don't judge me, don't touch me with your dirty two edged blade
Paid the price and sacrificed, I made the fair trade

Parallel lives haunt my every step...

2. A Fair Trade

You see my future as uncertain
I see it as an endless string of now
And you dedicate your life to working
While I am working to design a way our

You seem to think I've no ambition
I say that you're the one who took the easy way
You've taken their agenda for your mission
While I refuse to hang on every word they say

Don't judge me or begrudge me the right to go on my own way
I know you have done your best to make me see the light of day
Your system can exist from the other slaves you've made
Let me be, I'll set myself free let's call it a fair trade

Don't judge me, don't touch me with your dirty two edged blade
Paid the price and sacrificed, I made the fair trade

Parallel lives haunt my every step...

3. Unborn

Another day slowly fading away
Once vital blood has been distilled
Timing right but you can't see it in the light
This soul's purpose has been fulfilled

Fragmented daylight
Island in the storm
A backward fight
Flesh and spirit torn
Life recycling reversing in form
Unraveling
Unborn

Once a boy they all called wise beyond this years
Now a man with nothing left, nothing left but tears
He was the one they sought for sage advice
But the time has come, they've seen through his disguise

Eyes losing focus
Comforting embrace
Frozen in rust
Giving up the race
Re-entering, reversing in form
Unraveling
Unborn

Hanging by a fingertip
Growing tired and losing grip

At least we've come to the end of usefulness
Return unto a state of unknowing bliss
Existing only as and because others perceive

Fragmented daylight
Island in the storm
A backward fight
Flesh and spirit torn
Recycling, reversing in form
Unraveling
Unborn

4. Blood Lines

Colors bathe my eyes for the first time
Floating in a sea of sound the never seems to rhyme anymore

Still feel the need to feel alive
A germinating seed in the fertile mind

With a hand that is frail and the heart that's strong
I will cure my ail fighting this wrong
Though I can no longer speak life is not in vain
Where others would be weak I will bear my pain

Can't you save me I've kept the faith all this time
I'm longing for your comfort at the end of the line

What have I received from whom I've served
All that I believed this fate undeserved

Trapped inside this new world of constant chaos
Master plan is finally unfurled as her dreams are lost
Living lucidly afraid to shake the cage
Is this a test of faith or the final page?

Sanguis custodiat animam meam in vitam aeternam

Nameless beauty commune with me in time

Bloodlines flow like rain
On the plains of sorrow
See my face again
In a child of tomorrow
Wanting you to see life is
Life is not in vain
Binding you to me the bloodlines will remain

5. Painted Eyes

My resolve fails I wonder why I try at all
Just let this rock roll over my bones
In the space of an hour my life devolves to something like
A moss that grows between the stones

And I confine my racing mind
To replacing what I cannot find

A path leads to the river my footprints know their own way there
With echoes bouncing in my head
Feel my body shiver growing despair
Give in to the will that must be fed

I can feel you out there wandering alone
Watch the water rise
Bound overflow as rain melts the snow

With tears from painted eyes

Like a flower on a weed I'm fuelling everybody's need to
Bring me down, green turns to brown all
I was to dry my tears in sunlight
I survive when world collide despite the lies they all go to seed
Cut the flower from the weed watch as all the rest go to seed

Cut the flower from the weed
Watch the rest all turn into the seed of your demise

Now I can feel the universal will to live goes on
A fatal compromise
The sacred blood will flow
Like tears from painted eyes
I must know

7. Afraid To Fly

What would you pay for the chance to go back
Take the chance you passed up all those years ago
The pain in your face shows that you failed to chase your dreams
That you let them go

But I won't be the one to leave my dreams behind
Just call it a gift to my future peace of mind

You seem to feel that you've earned the right
To say you could've done this and would've done that
I rather think that you came to brink
Afraid to fly, you just turned back

But I will be the one to leap into the unknown
The only way you find out if my wings have grown

Come with me let's see if I can fly
Might just be the first an the last time I try
I can't go on knowing that I might've seen the sky
But I must be both you and I
You and I

This is the choice from which you cannot hide
Choose how you'll live for the rest of your life
The hardest choice to make is the one that's right

Never assume that you're all alone
To everyone this path has been shown

I won't be the one to leave my dreams behind
Just call it a gift to my future peace of mind

I can't believe that you're asking me why
Live with endless regret, or take our chance to fly
Alone I'll be falling from the sky
You know it must be both you and I
You and I

8. Dialogue

You could not have known it would be this way
That I must believe
Music in my heart but nothing to say
That all ends today
Since you chose to leave... me
I cannot explain what you gave to me
How could you dare
Did you think I would not know in my despair

I'm your savior, I'm dying for you
As my savior would have me do

Now the soul torn in two, the search for the truth
Will he see the light
Like a storm in the night, it reaches far beyond
All reason and sight

Can this be the final warning
Leading nowhere the road keeps turning but I can't read the signs

Even if I could believe that likeness undenied
Still can't forgive all the time they lied
An endless dialogue inside my mind

You have given me the key to the secrets inside me
But this is not the way it was meant to be
How I wish that I could believe words cannot say

I'm your savior I'm dying for you
As my savior would have me do
Feel your anger don't let it change you
You'll find every day a piece of the truth

9. Departing Words

Suspended animation
Sensory deprivation

Swimming concoction of fond memories
Author of my destiny

Pacify indignation
With sublime intoxication

Blessed in this techno-ironic nirvana
Cursed by my hope for a safe return

These parting words are simple and few
Look to the stars and you will find my point of view
Life on Earth will be sublime
At the end of time

Just one moment for hesitation

Excommunicating self-imposed
Waiting out the world's death throes

These parting words contain no lie
It's anchors away and time to say our last good-bye
Life's a garden overgrown
To be tamed alone

Suspended animation
Temporized calculation

Relative stillness yet starlight will burn
Abandon hope for a safe return

These parting words remain with you
Look to the stars and you will find my point of view
Life on Earth will be sublime and the end of time
Time is an all consuming fire fuelled with desire
Burning garden overgrown
You remain alone

And all that was ever seen hanging like a cloud of gravity

I dream of my departing words when I said
I'd given up on ever again believing that light lies beyond my sleeping eyes

10. Doldrums

Fog is lifting
Lost sight of dry land
Set adrift in
Desolation

Gradual change
Lasting impression
Overwhelming
Desolation

There's no wind to fill my sail
The beat of my heart begins to fail
I've lost my will to fight

Light of life gone
Never to regain
Constant downpour
Overwhelming pain
Desolation

With no wind to fill my sail
The rescue mission will fail
The dove sent to land has returned empty-handed
And I can't deny my fate anymore

I won't forget the effort that you made
Abandon me to fall on my blade

I'm lost with no wind to prevail
Upon this worn an ragged sail
The dove I set free will die with me
When it's over, it's over
I'll meet you there my love
