ARGUS LYRICS

1. Into The Fields Of Fire

[Instrumental]

2. Devils Of Your Time

Striking with swiftness and fury
An unbidden start in the dark
An unrestrained evil piercing serenity's heart
A fear that envelops you wholly
Contracting, constricting your breath
Its hands 'round your throat as you wonder if this is the end

Lies, lies - whispered deceits inside your mind
Rise, rise - against the devils of your time

Wracked by convulsions of hellfire
Yet shivering and drenched as by ice
Submerged in fear, suspended in dread, paralyzed
A descent into madness
A divergence from all that is true
Spit into the halls of confusion by engines of doom

Lies, lies - whispered deceits inside your mind
Rise, rise - against the devils of your time
Lies, lies - whispered deceits inside your mind
Rise, rise - against the devils of your time

Rise against the devils of your time
Rise against panic's crippling lies

[Guitar solo: Watson]

Fight against your fear!
Fight against your fear!

3. As A Thousand Thieves

I have crossed unto the shadows
I have sinned against my own
When life began to fold in on me
I turned my back and disavowed my home

Sinned against my own

Leaving you a thousand pieces
A wreckage of your hopes and dreams
You fought you would hold them forever
Yet I stole each as a thousand thieves

Sinned against my own
As a thousand thieves your dreams I stole

A million times or maybe more
I must have run it through my head
The light I gathered close
Was never worth the pain I sowed

There's no way to repay all I stole from you
There's no hell deep enough to pay the penance due

[Guitar solo: Watson]

What hell awaits me? What hell awaits me?
A million times or maybe more
I must have run it through my head
The light I gathered close
Was never worth the pain I sowed

Sinned against my own
As a thousand thieves your dreams I stole

4. 216

[Guitar solo: Watson]

Circle of fire - the final test along this road
To brave the flames there must be peace within the soul

Our journey here - a proving ground where there's no rest
To rise from fields of fire, to reconcile all regrets

[Guitar solo: Mucio]

Leave all the tears and the pain
To bring your soul peace once again
Leave all the tears and the pain

Leave all the tears and the pain
To walk into light once again
Leave all the tears and the pain

5. You Are The Curse

Beset by waves of misfortune
In pity you lie
Damning the world that surrounds
For your plight

Looking not to the evils
You've unleashed in your time
Now the cold winds of consequence bite

As all you've loved and all you've dreamed to ruin falls

Your fate reversed
Dark tidings' source
You are the curse
Your fate reversed
Dark tidings' source
You are the curse

Feeling the winds turn against you
For no reason or rhyme
Now take a good look deep inside

Consider the oaths that you've cast into flame
Consider your actions that brought only pain
And now dare to question these turning tides

As all you've loved and all you've dreamed to ruin falls

Your fate reversed
Dark tidings' source
You are the curse
Your fate reversed
Dark tidings' source
You are the curse

Your fate reversed
Dark tidings' source
You are the curse
Your fate reversed
Dark tidings' source
You are the curse

6. Infinite Lives, Infinite Doors

"Freedom!" my spirit did cry
Bound by these mortal shackles no longer
Though in great I did approach these darkened portals of mystery
I now cry, "Freedom!"

Infinite lives, infinite doors
All that's to be has been before
Each breath, each fluttered eye
In parallel our never-ending lives
Infinite lives, infinite doors

[Guitar solo: Mucio]

Time and space melt and merge as one
The gates of transcending open to me
To live again
The truth that I've long sought laid out before me - before my eyes

Infinite lives, infinite doors
All that's to be has been before
Each breath, each fluttered eye
In parallel our never-ending lives
Infinite lives, infinite doors

Our lives as dreams - carry on when the body's asleep
Our lives as dreams - carry on when the body's at peace

[Guitar solo: Watson]
[Guitar solo: Mucio]

Far beyond the end of your life
Far beyond the end there is no end
Far beyond the end of your life
Far beyond the end you live again

7. Hour Of Longing

You were the rock on which I learned
Your wisened words would anchor me
In losing you I lost part of my soul
I felt deathly alone

Sometimes in the stillness I can hear your voice
Reaching out to me across the years

In the grips of anxiety
Cold flush of panic consumes me
Collapsed and trembling in pieces I fall
As into anguish I'm drawn

Sometimes in the stillness I can hear your voice
Reaching out to me across the years
And in my hour of longing I can feel your light
Giving me the strength to fight my fears

I hear your voice - I hear you calling
I hear your voice - in my hour of longing

[Guitar solo: Mucio]

Sometimes in the stillness I can hear your voice
Reaching out to me across the years
And in my hour of longing I can feel your light
Giving me the strength to fight my fears

I hear your voice
I hear your voice

8. No Right To Grieve

At eventide the sun set on our love
Into stillness you passed to the peace of beyond

Through my soul does rage I must hold it close
Though inside I break, I won't break my vow
The love that you gave belonged not to me
I won't twice break the heart of they who now grieve

Longingly, mournfully
To dark confined
In solitude, in silence I cry

[Guitar solo: Watson]

Memories flash, memories flood, memories washing over me
Never to touch, never to hold, never again your face to see
Never to kiss, kiss you goodbye - that path is blocked for me

Through my soul does rage I must hold it close
Though inside I break, I won't break my vow
The love that you gave belonged not to me
I won't break the heart of they who believed
Alone I must suffer
I've no right to grieve

9. From The Fields Of Fire

[Instrumental]
