ASCENSION OF THE WATCHERS LYRICS

1. Ascendant

Dreams are like razors I hold in my hand memories bleeding I don't understand
Blood stained prayers are left unanswered fading echoes that no one has heard

Every word I have ever written falls like rain from the dark heavens
I lost all control of my heart and soul now every praise is for whom I toll

These mortal moments will be lost in time like every tear I shed from my eyes
Like fallen angels who dream of ascent my every regret becomes a lament

2. Evading

Are my dreams a sign are my dreams just you in disguise?
Will this heart find will this heart be denied?
Endlessly I still search endlessly, forever onward?
Are my prayers heard are my prayers meaningless words?
My God hear my prayer

This young heart is scared scared by a fate that we share.
Visions of you unclear existence of you I should fear.
Are my prayers heard are my prayers empty words?
My God hear my prayer My Lord can't you hear me?

3. Residual Presence

There is nothing left of me there is nothing that you see,
All I am is memory and that is all you will be.
Nothing ever lasts forever.

Everything that I have won all the hearts I have shunned,
Like a ghost I leave you stunned alone in bed, wretched, feeling numb.
Nothing ever lasts forever.

Looking at me with mourning eyes I know your pain as you cry,
My thirst for love, my need to fly my freedom, my souls desire.
Nothing ever lasts forever.

4. Canon For My Beloved

You were the first to believe you were the one, you helped me see
You raised me up and out from my grief you took my hand and set my soul free
I broke your heart, released your tears now I can feel you floating away from me

Your loneliness, a beckon call distance and days that let love fall
Time hangs above your heart all the betrayal that tears us apart
I never meant to hurt my love this way I never meant for my heart to stray
I broke your heart, released your tears now I can feel you floating away from me

I love you I do I feel you floating away love that has fallen away
Sadness takes you now disheartened and disavowed
I broke your heart, released your tears
Now I can feel you floating away from me

5. Moonshine

I gaze on the moon as she shines on me,
So bright in my eyes, a heart so clear and blinding,
Shining on my face paled by my disgrace.
Like a star, from heaven you burned and fell,
Mesmerized, I glowed underneath your spell

Her shadows, they seem to whisper to me devotions that echo the seas,
My shadows, they seem, to reveal in me my oceans of lies and deceit,
Shining on my face paled by my disgrace eclipsing, she has fallen
And time has dimmed and darkened the moon no longer shines for me

6. Becoming Mars

The anger swells like rising tides like two lost souls that soon collide
Tonight I witness all the angels throw all of their stones down on me
The constant thorn that's in my flesh was solely placed and laid to rest
All that I am is all that you made so you blaspheme me in your holy place
Ever so slowly the stranger becomes me ever so slowly I surrender blindly
Why am I forsaken my heart was forsaken

This broken man was fuelled by rage through endless time he suffered pain
As all the stars light up the sky my love remains dark in my eye
I felt the war, I fought alone I sought mercy within your home
I was turned away, petition denied I had no friends for this heart to confide
Ever so slowly the stranger becomes me ever so slowly I surrender blindly
Why am I forsaken my heart was forsaken

7. On The River

Ever flowing never slowing to my true heart you spoke.
Flooding my senses plaintive repentance your voice is calling,
Deep and enlightening feels like I'm walking on water,
Down on the river one day I may find you there

8. Violent Morning

Violet Morning full of grace a new dawning on my face
A flower blooming every day you pierced my soul and touched my faith
You are the light for my love you are the love for my God

Violet Morning I feel you shine enlightening my space and time
In your warmth my heart did find a pure soul, a love divine
The only light in my eyes the only love of my life

You are the light for my love you are the love for my God
The only light in my eyes the only love of my life
You are my morning sun you are the light where I begun

9. Like Falling Snow

Je vois les yeux de Dieu Dans la neige qui tombe
I see the eyes of God in the falling snow
Comme la neige qui tombe Les yeux de Dieu m' entourent Comme la neige qui tombe
Like falling snow the eyes of God surround me like falling snow

10. Sounds Of Silence

Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone narrow streets of cobblestone
Underneath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night and touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking people hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share and no one dared disturb the sound of silence

Fools said I you do not know silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you take my arms that I might reach you
But my words, like silent raindrops fell and echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning in the words that it was forming
And the sign said The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement hall
And whispered in the sounds of silence

11. Quintessence

A slow moving train through my soul
A slow moving train through my soul
A slow moving train through my soul
A slow moving train through my soul
A slow moving train through my soul
A slow moving train through my soul
