Prowling in the night
Hiding 'neath my fright
Manipulate my sight - thief
Whenever you steal
My punishment's real
You gave me sorrow
Invading my own value
Parading my shy security
While gripping my innocence - thief
Whenever you steal
My punishment's real
You gave me sorrow


. . .



Bleak desolation
In a beam of Sun
Scraping as I crawl (Your heart can't hear me)
Tearing bruising fall (Your hands can't hear me)
Thirsting raging blind (Your eyes can't hear me)
Racing against time (Your arms can't hear me)
Like an angel you'll come
In a dream, precious one
(And) Make me beautifully numb
Desperate panicked calls (The wind can't hear me)
Muffled weak and small (The sand can't hear me)
Pleading groping hands (The truth can't hear me)
Bleeding in the sand (Your heart can't hear me)
Bleak desolation
In a beam of Sun
Like an angel you'll come
In a dream, blessed one
(And) Make me joyfully numb
Razor fingers cling (The wind can't hear me)
Piercing demons sing (The sand can't hear me)
Twisting hollow Hell (The truth can't hear me)
Burning blisters swell (Your heart can't hear me)
Sharp cut aching breath (Your arms can't hear me)
Choking scent of death (Your hands can't hear me)
Gruelling jaw-bone grind (Your eyes can't hear me)
Cursed by my own mind (Your heart can't hear me)

Twilight

[No lyrics]

. . .



give me release
witness me
i am outside
give me peace
heaven holds a sense of wonder
and i wanted to believe that i'd get caught up
when the rage in me subsides

passion
choke the flower
'til she cries no more
possessing all the beauty
hungry still for more

heaven holds a sense of wonder
and i wanted to believe that i'd get caught up
when the rage in me subsides

in this white wave, i am sinking, in this silence
in this white wave, in this silence i believe

Lyricsi can't help this longing
comfort me
i can't hold it all in
if you won't let me

heaven holds a sense of wonder
and i wanted to believe that i'd get caught up
when the rage in me subsides

in this white wave, i am sinking, in this silence
in this white wave, in this silence i believe
i have seen you, in this white wave, you are silent
you are breathing, in this white wave i am free

Lamentation

[No lyrics]

. . .



And I have loved
And I have served
And I have sinned
But I have learned
As long as you are true to the life
That you live
This is the time to feel love
I feel a stirring deep within
Slowly picking up momentum
Like the tide coming in to shore
Over and under in its course
This feeling emblazed inside
Every nerve like a firefly
Hovering above me
Glow, Glow,
Glowing divine
Every nerve like a firefly
Every nerve like a firefly
This feeling emblazed inside
Every nerve like a firefly
I never want to lose what I have finally found
LyricsThere's a requiem
A new congregation
And it's telling me go forward and walk
Under a brighter sky
Every nerve glowing like a firefly
Every nerve like a firefly
This feeling emblazed inside
Every nerve like a firefly
I feel a stirring deep within
Slowly picking up momentum
Like the tide coming into shore
Over and under in its course
I never want to lose
What I have finally found
There's a requiem
A new congregation
And it's telling me go foreward and walk
Under a brighter sky
Every nerve glowing like a firefly
Glow, Glow, Divine
Glow, Glow, Divine
Every nerve like a firefly, glowing
Every nerve like a firefly, glow
Glow

Remembrance

[No lyrics]

. . .



To others the pain was obvious
The colours of shame a bruise
Unjust
Abuse of trust can't be wiped
I can't remember why I chose to say goodbye
I'm terrified of what I might have severed
I tried to forget the drowning truth
Lashing inside my sea of youth
Life seemed unfair sacrifice for peace
I can't remember why I chose to say goodbye
I'm terrified of what I might have severed
I ended up too high
But never learned to fly
So coming down I'm very thankful

I can't remember why I chose to say goodbye
I'm terrified of what I might have severed
I ended up too high
But never learned to fly
So coming down I'm very thankful.

Koran

[No lyrics]

. . .



The lessons were all learned
My soul has charred, what they burned

'Til the end of time
'Til the end of time
(You should apologise)

So silence shamed me, shame
She brought with her doubt and blame

'Til the end of time (x4)

Now it's your turn to cry
Spend your life wondering why
You knew

'Til the end of time (x4)


. . .

and i wanted to believe that i'd get caught up

hungry still for more

heaven holds a sense of wonder
and i wanted to believe that i'd get caught up

in this white wave, in this silence i believe

Lyricsi can't help this longing

if you won't let me

and i wanted to believe that i'd get caught up

Soaks my skin - through to the bone
Pain is nothing that a downpour won't erase
Rain - you can't hold on to it
A treasure you cannot frame
Rain - somehow I'm drawn to it
I feel engaged, one and the same
When heavens dressing beads off my face
The pain is nothing that a downpour won't erase


. . .


Don't get too close
This shore is cavernous and cold
Too close is cavernous and cold
Cavernous and cold
You're collecting empty shells

Too late to scribe, alive in my soul
I'd rather hide than fight you, stealing my soul

A marbled ocean of steaming ghosts
They bore what's tavernous and told
A haunted ocean is tavernous and told
I am where the fearing dwells

Too late to scribe, alive in my soul
I'd rather hide than fight you, stealing my soul

Don't get too close
To this haunted ocean of steaming ghosts

Too late to scribe, alive in my soul
I'd rather hide than fight you, stealing my soul

Too late to scribe, alive in my soul
I'd rather hide, hide, hide, hide
Cavernous, cold
Cavernous, cold, cold, cold, cold

. . .



Bleak desolation
In a beam of Sun
Scraping as I crawl (Your heart can't hear me)
Tearing bruising fall (Your hands can't hear me)
Thirsting raging blind (Your eyes can't hear me)
Racing against time (Your arms can't hear me)
Like an angel you'll come
In a dream, precious one
(And) Make me beautifully numb
Desperate panicked calls (The wind can't hear me)
Muffled weak and small (The sand can't hear me)
Pleading groping hands (The truth can't hear me)
Bleeding in the sand (Your heart can't hear me)
Bleak desolation

Choking scent of death (Your hands can't hear me)
Gruelling jaw-bone grind (Your eyes can't hear me)
Cursed by my own mind (Your heart can't hear me)


. . .



I know you want me
But caution inspires
Your feigned indifference
Won't challenge me

Could it, could it be
Love's what you deny me? (x2)

This spoiled seduction
Intoxicates thee,
Balanced on my halo
You long secretly

Could it, could it be
Love's what you deny me? (x4)

Don't deny yourself
'Cause I know what you want (x3)

You can't deny me
We'll be together
So try to run, love
But you won't get away

Could it, could it be
Love's what you deny me? (x5)
