NEONFLY LYRICS

1. Broken Wings

Your empty eyes are looking my way
I know you've tried it many times before
A broken glass is all you need
You see the white light and the open door

A world of lies and shattered dreams
Has tossed you in the gutter
You try to fly with broken wings
But you keep on falling

Rise above the ashes
Don't be afraid
To stand and face the masses

A one-eyed prophet
To lead the blind
To kill the outcast
Stand up and fight

Stand up and fight!
Stand up and fight!

You live in fear and segregation
All fingers point at you and you don't want
To play their game and have your share
You have the power to resist the floods

The fools are gathering again
Fighting for the spotlight
Turn your back and walk away
Now!

Rise above the ashes
Don't be afraid
To stand and face the masses

A one-eyed prophet
To lead the blind
To kill the outcast
Stand up and fight

A world of lies and shattered dreams
Has tossed you in the gutter
You try to fly with broken wings
But you keep on falling

The fools are gathering again
Fighting for the spotlight
Turn your back and walk away
Now!

Rise above the ashes
Don't be afraid
To stand and face the masses

A one-eyed prophet
To lead the blind
To kill the outcast
Stand up and fight

Rise above the ashes
Don't be afraid
To stand and face the masses

A one-eyed prophet
To lead the blind
To kill the outcast
Stand up and fight

Stand up and fight!
Stand up and fight!
Run Free, run free, yeah!

2. The Enemy

You sit upon a throne but built so high
You gaze at all of us with spite
You pass your sins for everyone to bear
With hearts so rueful and contrite

We call upon grace and might but all you do is crush our dreams and erase them

Hiding away behind your disguise
You pave your way bigoted lies

You try to kick us while we’re down
The word has got around thet in this town
You’re the enemy

The enemy, you’re the enemy
The enemy

Standing face to face
You make the blood boil in my veins

Now time has come for all to see
What we’ve become we’re proud and free
We refuse to live in misery

I’m sick and tired of all plans and schemes
The way you pass your judgments as you please
Like fools you try to lead us by the nose
Fill our minds with thoughts we never chose

But we’ll no longer heed your cry
Your days are over now ‘cause to me
You’re just the enemy

The enemy, you’re the enemy
The enemy

3. Ship With No Sails

There's a rumor in the night,
A distant face that memory
Has brought back to my door

I assumed it would fade away
Time didn't kill it after all…...

Why do we try to hide from yesterday?
Erase our footsteps in the sand

The gate is open but it's cold and dark
The siren calls from beyond
You pay the price - and you pray for salvation
But all you get is desolation

Hear the sound of the clashing waves and the wailing wind as a new day dawns
All your dreams washed up on the shore are now faded and gone
Always standing on the edge of paradise, but you never took that step
There's a ship waiting on the shore and you cannot find the sail

Seasons wasted wondering why
You were too weak to move on
A silent scream, an empty cry for
Someone to carry you home

The demon tries to take control again
Nightmares appear in your mind
Afraid to fly - like a bird in a cage
No chance to leave this earthly prison

Hear the sound of the clashing waves and the wailing wind as a new day dawns
All your dreams washed up on the shore are now faded and gone
Always standing on the edge of paradise, but you never took that step
There's a ship waiting on the shore and you cannot find the sail

There's a newborn star that lights your way in the dark
You have to reach out and take it.
All the poison you drank will be drained from your heart
Come and dance with the minstrel - Leave your fears behind
The vision's fading,
The winds are blowing,
But no one answers the call

You always tried to hide from yesterday
Remove the traces of your past

Hear the sound of the clashing waves and the wailing wind as a new day dawns
All your dreams washed up on the shore are now faded and gone
Always standing on the edge of paradise, but you never took that step
There's a ship waiting on the shore and you cannot find the sail

4. A Gift To Remember

Once I had a gift to remember
Warm and glowing shard like the ember
Of a fire that won’t expire

Sealed away and frozen in time
Like the love we tried to consign
In jealous hearts, torn and ripped apart

In your eyes a million stars arise but the clouds won’t let them shine
If we could have braved the stormy nights I’d have held on to your heart, so dearly

Fiery hearts about to conspire
Set ablaze and cause a misfire
Getting close to the final sacrifice

Creeping like a silent assailant
Growing stronger thirsty for vengeance
Running blind lost between the lines

In your eyes a million stars arise but the clouds won’t let them shine
If we could have braved the stormy nights I’d have held on to your heart, so dearly

You choose your path but then you lost your way
You found yourself again in darkness tears and despair
Pale figures linger at the break of day

In your eyes a million stars arise…

In your eyes a million stars arise but the clouds won’t let them shine
If we could have braved the stormy nights I’d have held on to your heart, so dearly

In your eyes a million stars arise but the clouds won’t let them shine
If we could have braved the stormy nights I’d have held on to your heart, so dearly

5. The Revenant

I heard the sound of the closing door
Woke up to find no one was besides me
Morning had come and caught me unaware
The devil never gives signs of warning
Is tis the price I have to pay?
For all the beauty my heart plunders

If you set my soul on fire, who will put it out when you’re gone?
The fires of hell surround me; saints and sinners wait for your call

I can’t remember, I can’t recall,
The steps I took on the road I travelled
I fell asleep on a quiet summer day
I lost my way in the heart of darkness
And still I find it hard to tell
The devil’s music plays, I wonder…

If you set my soul on fire, who will put it out when you’re gone?
The fires of hell surround me; saints and sinners wait for your call

There, where my memory’s laid to rest
And the serpents crawl and kiss
Underneath the marble weights
Where my heart still beats I’m…

… Turning I’m twisting, revolving, retrieving,
When the hour strikes again
I’ll be reborn

If you set my soul on fire, who will put it out when you’re gone?
The fires of hell surround me; saints and sinners wait for your call

If you set my soul on fire, who will put it out when you’re gone?
The fires of hell surround me; saints and sinners wait for your call

6. The Ornament

[Instrumental]

7. Reality Shift

A Nocturne painted on the wall
Eyes looking from the canvas beckoning me
Come with me and set me free
Your senses deceive you
Come with me and you will see this isn't a dream

Afraid I try to run and hide
The colors in my palette seem to have run dry
Take your chance and step inside
A new life is waiting
The voice is not inside your mind the voice is alive

I wish I could see the world I have painted
Step inside make the artwork complete
And those eyes staring back like a mirror
Shift reality

Now I know there's no chance to hide, no chance to get away
No chance to pretend that I don't hear it calling
Come with me and set me free
Your senses deceive you
Come with me and you will see this isn't a dream

I wish I could see the world I have painted
Step inside make the artwork complete
And those eyes staring back like a mirror
Shift reality

Come with me,
Set me free,

Contrast and harmony the painting is complete
There's nobody there, silent and empty
I have come to set you free
I have found the answer
Trapped inside a world of dreams, where's reality?

I wish I could see the world I have painted
Step inside make the artwork complete
And those eyes staring back like a mirror
Shift reality

8. Spitting Blood

Treason rides again as a rumor rides from within
Running dogs of hate, sow seeds of disorder
Whispers on the street as the shadows stalk the city squares
Cold and pale like the sun on a winter morning

Running and hiding from the endless night
Time’s running out on your life
When it comes to the kill they’ll look you straight in the eye
When your number’s up don’t ask me why
When your number’s up don’t ask me why

Marching to the beat of the drums of dissidence and fear
Steps so turbulent they make mountains crumble
A single shot rings out and the balance falters from within
When there’s hunger for blood, it will all spill over

Running and hiding from the endless night
Time’s running out on your life
When it comes to the kill they’ll look you straight in the eye
When your number’s up don’t ask me why
When your number’s up don’t ask me why

When your freedom burns in silence and the final curtain calls
When all oaths are made in violence and the final heads have rolled
When the saving hand of liberty has turned away from you
When they’ve finally taken over, they will feast on flesh and spit the bones

Running and hiding from the endless night
Time’s running out on your life
When it comes to the kill they’ll look you straight in the eye
When your number’s up don’t ask me why
When your number’s up don’t ask me why

Kill in the womb before it sees the light
The Promise is left unfulfilled
Cause I’m running and hiding with a gun by my side
Spitting blood and sleeping when I die
Spitting blood and sleeping when I die

9. Morning Star

The skies are bright with lightning
Confusion strikes the plain
The coming dawn is frightening
The choice is yours to make

Follow me, follow me blindly
The trick is not to see
I’ll never let, you slip through my fingers
I’ll never set you free

I climbed the highest mountain
I called upon the Lord
I towered above the masses
Pride comes before The Fall

Follow me, follow me blindly
The trick is not to see
I’ll never let, you slip through my fingers
I’ll never set you free

Architect of, all your misfortunes
War in heaven, no peace in hell
I will make you drink of the poison
I will lay waste, pollute your world

I dreamt tonight of my soul taking flight on the shining wings of freedom
I dreamt tonight that I lived in the light of a raging Morning Star
I dreamt tonight of no wrong and no right just a burning will for freedom
I dreamt tonight that my heart would ignite like a raging Morning Star

I am the great deceiver
The one who won’t bow down
My light will last forever
Until the coming dawn

Follow me, follow me blindly
The trick is not to see
I’ll never let, you slip through my fingers
I’ll never set you free

I dreamt tonight of my soul taking flight on the shining wings of freedom
I dreamt tonight that I lived in the light of a raging Morning Star
I dreamt tonight of no wrong and no right just a burning will for freedom
I dreamt tonight that my heart would ignite like a raging Morning Star

I dreamt tonight of my soul taking flight on the shining wings of freedom
I dreamt tonight that I lived in the light of a raging Morning Star
I dreamt tonight of no wrong and no right just a burning will for freedom
I dreamt tonight that my heart would ignite like a raging Morning Star

10. The Messenger

Wipe the dust away, from a box of levity
Stirs a memory, a lifetimes breadth away
Too scarred to close my eyes, the past floods in like tears
One more wordless cry fills the empty night

No bleeding heart could ever stand in my way
When, I played upon the foothills of depravity
No hearts and no minds were in my gift to bestow
I Can’t believe in life when death’s the only real God I know

They said, the truth will set you free,
They said, no harm would come to me…

The ends of sanity, drowning in profanities
The cost of savagery. A slate that won’t wipe clean
No guide to light my way into unknown places
Silent partners stare, but there’s nothing left to say…

I was the messenger, the means to an end
Unleashed, to crush belief in far and broken lands
No conscience, no reason, no map and no plan
Destroyed the lives of those who never stood a chance

They said, the truth will set you free,
They said, no harm would come to me…

No bleeding heart could ever stand in my way
As I play upon the foothills of depravity
No hearts and no minds were in my gift to bestow
I Can’t believe in life when death’s the only real God I know

They said, the truth will set you free,
They said, no harm would come to me…

11. I Think I Saw A U.F.O

What's that thing above the clouds
Making circles with its tail
I know I haven't seen that thing before

Could it be they're finally here?
Have they been waiting all these years?
And could that thing be called a UFO?

I know they're green I know they're fast
I know that Elvis is alive
They took him more than 20 years ago

And maybe they're outside your door
Alien footsteps on the floor
You know you're never coming back no more

Unidentified flying object in the sky
I'm not out of my mind

I think I saw a U.F.O.
I think I saw a U.F.O.
I think I saw a U.F.O.
I think I saw a U.F.O.
