CALIGULA'S HORSE LYRICS

1. The City Has No Empathy (Your Sentimental Lie)

[Lyrics by Jim Grey]

Empty streets call
Siren's song
Drift down deeper
The city's heart is waiting for me

City - soulless
All empty syringe, hollow promise and careful disguise
Bright eyes
Briefly carry the hopeful
Ever the optimist

So sing your song
Like a sigh
Your sentimental lie
Liar!
Open your mouth and sing like you've got something
You've got something to say

My head in my hands
Try to ignore the sound turning to sand
Cold wind carries my own voice
A whisper begging for release

I am released

So sing your song
Like a sigh
Your sentimental lie
Liar!
Open your mouth and sing like you've got something
Something to say

Sing your song
Like a sigh
Your sentimental lie
Liar!
Open your mouth and sing like you've got something
Something to...

Fuck this city
I've been released
I spread out wide my arms
I breath in deep and sing:
I am released

I am released
 
 
 

2. Silence

[Lyrics by Sam Vallen]

I want to be ignorant to the frailty of my life
Days are grains of sand in a disciple’s hand

Looking out my window
Through the grey and lifeless sky
I know what I am

I want to see the rain in fear through primal eyes
But I’m terrified of the silence that kept me
Before I was alive

And passing days feel shorter with every moment I leave behind
And dawn is breaking now on the minds still left to decide

I want to see the rain in fear through primal eyes

I want to be innocent of hypocrisy and lies
But in these surroundings the strongest survive

And seeing the world before me
As the end result of all that has been
I know what I am

I want to see the rain in fear through primal eyes
But I’m terrified of the silence that kept me
Before I was alive

And passing days feel shorter with every moment I leave behind
And dawn is breaking now on the minds still left to decide

I want to feel the pain of zeal behind your cries
It seems an easy way to escape from the silence

And if I look back now with regret
I know I’ve lost something I’ll never find again

And every day I’m getting older
And the world slips further away.

And every step is only closer
To the one you lost
Behind the road
Beyond our human wants and gains
To both your faith and my disdain
(Your trembling lips betray your aim)
And you know that when it ends

We end the same

And every day I’m getting older
And in our world I will decay

With every step a little closer
To my final breath
Beyond regret
Past hope and love and human pain
(And when it ends)

We end the same

And passing days feel shorter with every moment I leave behind
And dawn is breaking now on the minds still left to decide
 
 

3. Singularity

[Instrumental]

4. Alone In The World

[Lyrics by Sam Vallen]

You’re gone
You’re lost in a world of your own design
Alone,
Humanity’s long since been left behind

And would you believe that I once felt your pain?
(Although it’s far behind me now)
It seems so strange to me that in pain you still believe

And I see a light ahead
A template for all my ambitions
Life lays bare before
Meaning disinterred
I’m welcoming my liberation

Moral,
You call me what you will and cast me away
I know
And in the depth of my ignorance I’m not afraid

And would you believe that I once felt your pain?
It seems so strange to me that in pain you still believe

And I see a light ahead
A template for all my ambitions
As a new day dawns
On an empty world
I’m welcoming my liberation

I’m alone in the world
A husk fading petty and destined
And I stay my mind
From futile tries at
Reaching for exoneration

I’m lost in the stars above
Consumed in my reflection
Distracted from my condemnation
They join me in consciousness

I can’t
Remember a time when days flickered
Like their cold light
Care passed like season
And love was free of all reason.

My reason is as trivial as senses pervaded by a final nostalgic scent
I inhale once more
Knowing the dreams I won’t live don’t matter

(Leave It Behind)
 
 
 

5. Ephemera

[Lyrics by Sam Vallen]

All my life I wait to find
The answer following me tonight
Contentment's fleeting when it's held above belief
'Cause in the end it's only relief.
 
 

6. Equally Flawed

[Lyrics by Sam Vallen]

His figure benighted
By revelation on his face
Beyond all refutation

And I understand his intentions
But don’t say a word

His smile it’s hiding
A purpose veiled
Beyond my comprehension
Subtle condescension
I let him walk inside

We’re all born equally flawed
Into a world of closed doors
This we accept despite question or reason
To save our souls

But I won’t take your force-fed dogma

I don’t want mindless conjectures
On nature’s objectives

My mind won’t adhere to your silence!

You see the world without flaws
It’s a lie without cause
Insignificant when all’s said and done
But it’s no less inspiring

And I don’t care how you say god loves

Laws will remain - and will forever
Until the universe contracts again

He needn’t exist for the world to be
 
 
 

7. Calliope's Son (Don't Ever Look Back)

[Instrumental]
