1. Shadows Part 1

[instrumental]

2. Shadows Part 2

and there's a shadow beneath the sun
and shadows in the valleys where we run
the darkest corners will sing out loud
to hear all of heaven's sounds
in the time it takes to slowly slip away
we smash the silent years into a day
take a chance, why don't you try
to take your dreams to heaven's skies
and the sun sets in the hollow of your eyes
I feel your shadows swim within my empty halls
and your shadows remain just like the Ring
the one to rule them all.

roll your fate with the dice if you lose you pay life's price
and when this moment slips away
you open your eyes to shades of grey
and as your window closes tight
your shadows swim across the night
it takes a moment to close your eyes
and keep them closed, oh keep them closed
(keep them closed)
'till all dreams die.

3. Newsong

is your skin a nervous wreck whatever shape
it's in and this longevity, believe me feels this good
and what for you to worry, I wont bring you down...

and there's something about this obsesssion
and if you people manage in disposession
all these worlds are all for me and if you never call for me
then refrigerate after opening and take your mind off of dwelling on this
and your kiss of tequila lips on me
please say you're reading say you're reading me

and I will sin
and I will lie
I will then live
and I will die
I will disguise
and I will rise...
shut up, you don't know anything...

4. Blue

the sands of waste raced through my fingers on the stone
The shallow remains of all that was and all that's yet to come
I can't awaken from all the dreams I've never had
and my skin is indigo as I wander where the fallen go
Oh Abigail, it's deafening to sleep in the sigh of the hollow men.
When the blue and the grey and the black and the white return to black again.
And it's one misstep, and down the face of the wall I fall for you.
In the comfort of your crossing here, Miriam, Miriam is blue...

Subconscious eradication of promises and trust.
I'm only turning away from you to follow you down to the dust.
You despise these night, you curse these days
in your crucible of empty lies, but, our time was fleeting.
You left me breathing, but never more the wise.

Oh Abigail, it's deafening to sleep in the sigh of the hollow men.
When the blue and the green and the red and the white return to black again.
And it's one misstep, and down the face of the wall I fall for you.
In the comfort of your crossing here, Miriam, Miriam is blue...

5. Figurine In Grey

and every night it begins again... asleep in your eyes, oh sweet Evelyne.
I lay me down on your throne, no gifts left to bring,
my curtains are drawn no wind under your wings.
And over the sigh as you set in the west,
my fingers inside all these feelings suggest...
I'm embracing the stone that once was your light,
one more empty voice, all alone in the night
I'm just one fading star that used to be in your light.
I'm just one empty voice all alone in the night.
I'm just one who'd have given whatever you need.
I'm just one of the few who tried to believe...
Awakened beside your echoing song, this aching inside it still lingers on.
A memory of dust, in the words that you say
adrift in the tides, your figurine in grey.
Like towers you fall into neverwhere land
and the millions you hold are like stars to my hands
I had given it all, no matter the cost.
You were all that I knew, you were all that I lost.
And we're still wailing hearts awakened and one.
I wanted to believe in "you are the one",
but dreaming is done, another is waiting.
When all this is aside, these feelings remain.
But you wouldnt try, to look into these eyes,
in this endless dream wide awake on your river of sorrows.
You made me believe, you drew me into your room,
and only silence remains...
only silence remains...
only silence remains...

6. Shame

it seems so hard to find it, the window in the wall is the breathing of rain...
This desert land is always this way,
it never ceases in the rainspoken words in the sun.
The lord of my light is the lord of a shameless world,
and a desolate broken mind.
It seems so hard to fight when you are lost,
you're lost little one...
you're lost, little one...
lost little one...

All circles end in the desertland where everyone weeps
in their halos and radiation scars.
These scars blend in the anger of the crying rain,
I'll continue to bleach the sunsets from your eyes.
I still feel you circle in laughter
as you fight to breathe in your poisonous air.
And if only for one small indiscretion,
I want to be whole I've never been this way before.
If only to bridge this chasm of distance
and shame with you everywhere,
shame with you everywhere,
shame with you,
shame with you,
shame with you...

And I believe I've never been this way: Confess:
I close my fingers around the flagstone, you provide the rest.
All convergence in time, freaks and virgins and swine,
always why, always ends this way before it begins.
Before I begin. Before I believe in your winter,
your wind in my eyes and your hands and your fingers,
the way that you breathe in the night,
what do you wish to see?
Will you love me in shame?
Will you love me in Shame?

And I've been told the second taste always feels the best,
I close my fingers 'round the flagstones, you provide the rest.
In provisions in the wasteland beyond the wall,
of my mind and my eyes, I don't believe you at all.
If it's only for a second's moment's glance in the light,
if I can believe I'll breathe (with) you in the world of delight.
If it's only for a moment, will I remember the song?
I want to believe you can hold on for this long.
If it's only for a moment, is it only for you?
Is it only for you?
is it only...

7. The Dance Of The Broken Heart

In the fading candlelight we move as windless ships.
With the breath of the angels two souls entwined
in the dance of the broken heart.
Our secret marriage needs no vows, true love never needs to be spoken.
Dance with me close in our darkest embrace, as night will soon be broken.
How do the things that always begin so right
always end so very wrong?
When we were but stars in the heavens in time,
stars in the heavens in time will fade after so very long...
I always believed, I always believed in my heart
that this lovewould keep us strong...
But as this love hides in the roses to night,
it dances it dances, in the broken heart...
So bitter was I in the times when your heart beat fierce and free.
You'd breathe in the night in another's arms,
but say that you wish it was me.
If only to bridge this chasm of distance,
to be with you everywhere.
I'd kiss away all of your sorrows and tears,
if only I could have been there...
How do the things that always begin so right
always end so very wrong?
I drift in the night on a bridge of incompetence
still really dont know why...
though I know by these times that the darkest days
always began with a smile.
I always believed, I always believed in my heart
that this love would still keep us strong...
But as this love hides in the roses tonight,
it dances it dances, in the broken heart...
This place at the edge of the river,
I've created for you.
It's one night in heaven adrift the stars,
to turn all your grey skies blue.
But I know when the night gives birth to the dawn,
it's wings will fly you away.
But I whisper in silence through tears in your eyes,
would it be too much if I ask you to stay?
How do the things that always begin so right
always end so very wrong?
I drift in the night on a sea of desire but I still believe in you.
And for all of these dreams, and for what it's worth,
it always comes down to you.
And I always believed, I always believed in my heart,
that this love inside would still keep us strong.
But as this love dies in the roses tonight,
it dances it dances... in the broken heart...

8. Confession

I'm breaking windows in the hollows of your eyes..
slip inside your well of souls to drift out with the tides.
The writhing, breathing, ragged holes
hang like children in my eyes
and hold me down beneath your lips
and swallows me alive.

and maddening your voice is in my head,
lead me to your flower bed
and every fear and every dread
are all the dreams I dream instead.
You are the leaving
that leaves nothing left behind
but this heart and this hate
and this love and this fate
this is all this is all I can feel...
I'm sinking deep beneath your world
to sleep inside your empty stare.
Even though I know just what you are,
I know I wouldn't care.
Seated in your judas cradle
taking me inside and then
I lose the things I used to love,
I'll never feel the same again....
and maddening your voice is in my head,
lead me through your flower bed.
And every fear and every dread
are all the dreams I dream instead.
You are the leaving
that leaves nothing left behind
but this heart and this hate
and this love and this fate
this is all this is all I can feel inside for you..
this is all this is all I can feel inside for you...
this is all this is all I can feel inside for you...

9. The Beach

This fear descends on me
Believer torn in disguise
beyond memory, I understand where we will go from here...
she's taking me down, we're going down into the believer's doorway
staring down we begin again, and, we begin again
and we fall like circles in the night,
and desert waters reach
and I feel myself devoured by the beach...
I'm in the throes of your sandstorm of wind and worm and high.
This single windowed promise speak I,
endless angel wings are nigh...

A dream of dune and serpent,
a tree of life masks splinters here...
where I've tasted this heart before,
and women walk like insects here...

And we fall like circles in the night,
and desert waters reach
and I feel myself devoured by the beach...
and I will sleep no more...

And this beach is poison like the wail of men in Sodom's breast.
I've put my angels to the test in this fabled belt of piety burn.
Of noble born in this windswept gill,
upon my sweating lips turned up into the sky, in hades
I will wait and weep for your return.

And we fall like circles in the night,
and desert waters reach
and no one opens up my eyes

and I feel myself devoured by the beach...
in the throes of your sad sandstorm...
your sandstorm...

10. The Wishing Hour

I am the circus of pain, swimming in the undertow...
sinking helpless on the tree of woe...
the engines rev, ignitied teeth and eyes
and hue of silver... ignitie these fires,

burn my fingers to the bone
A breathing water shall then crucify my soul,
(why don't you turn me in....)

I'm driving in the wasteland of your councious sigh...
tasting my heart for the last time
In the wishing hour,
all has come to pass you by...
in silent cries for mercy...

I knew the verdict as it lay down hard...
I knew it well, (and it's coming)
The vultures dive, ignite,
a part of this love's discord,
in lines in Adonai's deep,
and everything I know is this cold...

I pull the eyes from the living bird,
to let this poison roll down,
all for the sinking and the seething (never know)....
This breathing water shall then crucify my soul,

why don't you take it back...
I'm tasting this heart my life for the last time...
Circus of this hate...
swimming in your undertow...
Sinking helpless on the tree of woe...
and I'm tasting...
and I'm tasting...
and I'm tasting this heart
for the last time...

11. Drawing Down The Moon

all speaking tounges and backwards
voices fading through the fire Cthulu loves you Leviathan pulls you
screaming down into the mire

my windless angel is the only thing inside
that's real I'm drawing down the moon inside to see if I can feel

I'm drawing down her fingers to seal my eyes
to steal my lips to still my sighs in pyracanthean bed of sorrows
asleep in aphrodite's lies

and I've given in to all you are and lie
below your falling star I'm reaching inside this bridge of sighs to
make believe as your truths become lies that all I try and all I do

are all I was and all I am and all i'll
never be all I was all I am you are all I never see inside the moon...

I'm drawing down the moon I'm drawing down the moon
