1. Voyage
We set sail on a voyage
Dressed in rages within the hold
Wasting away in the darkness
Watching our story unfold
Traveling to uncharted lands
Full of misery and luxury
Falling over the edge of a nightmare
Shivering there in our cold sea
I tried to float away
To keep the waves at bay
I sank to the depths and I lost my life
The darkness around me faded grey
I tried to find my way
To keep the cold at bay
I sang to the depths as I lost my life
The colours within me faded grey
I watched as you sailed away
‘Til all that was left was your wake
I became one with the ocean
I felt my body break
You could not see me hear
Longing for one last breath
Longing to feel you near
Wretched in punishing death!
2. Arnos Vale
Rest in peace when darkness falls
Walk slowly past the pillared halls
Seeking solace, peace of mind
Ivy around the stones entwined
You will not be forgotten
Lay to rest in wooded glades
Clothed with moss, the hidden graves
Sunlight splashes through the leaves
A breeze so light around you breathes
Enchanted memories flow together
So open wide your gates forever
Here lies my heart in green and grey
Although I sleep so far away
Engraved my mind as I passed through
An epitaph I write for you.
3. My Face In Eternity
I’ve lost my piece of mind
When it comes to you
Can’t smile to anyone
I’m out here alone
You’ve filled your empty shell
With a face of lies
Now we slip with time
I have all these fears and so many tears to last my life
There’s so many ways I can’t explain how I’m fine
I have all these tears and so many fears to last for miles
Now I sleep away a brand new day with a sigh
There is no place to go
To hide from your sins
I’ve wasted many trials
Only to come back again
We’re fine don’t you see
I’m covered in clouds…
Of a darkest kind
I don’t want to die alone…
My face in eternity…
Can’t you show me where to go?
So why don’t you sit here beneath my wings
There’s no fear in a shadows dream.
4. Look Straight Through
Tears flow freely down
Warm tears that burn our faces
From eyes that look straight through
And do not see
These empty places
Regret I’ve felt, but not this deep before
To stir the soul, and from my sleep to crawl
Our security all gone
And our purity forgone
And we can no longer blame
For we each must bear the shame
But tomorrow is one more day
Further on from pain
5. Lost On Your Ocean
Your eyes have always held a fascination for me
Your gaze has set me adrift upon a distant sea
How do you work such strange magic on me
Breaking me fully with just one kiss
Your lips taste of love and my own demise
I’m broken on your waves of punishing desire
You burn in my veins like a river of fire
You burn in my veins like a river of fire
Your mouth pulls me deeper and trembling to you
I fall away, You take from me the strength that I once knew
Filling my senses as all is given over to you
They cannot know how lost,
How lost we are.
I’m lost on your ocean and I can feel it’s pulling me down
Adrift at sea, I feel so alone
My memory burns with longing in the absence of you
The love I had I gave, these broken promises, once true
And now I stand a prisoner, a wretched fool
Lost within your sea, I’m drowning
Never to return to you.
6. Fainted World
In a fainted world
We’re almost one
The sun by my side
Lit the morning room
We’ll be here once again
With a mind at sail
You’ll fall through my hands
Though I wish you’d stay
There’s nothing more to hear of your name
The brightest star reveals from where we all came
When we split the skies
Never eye has understood
The endless name
From which all life began
Can you see that where I’ve been
Is beyond your sight
I can stand in everywhere
I am all in life
You will hide your faces beneath your own hands
And time will show everywhere you’ve been
Now day will break melting every cloud
As war integrates every land of ours.
7. Centenary
8. Your Once Loving Heart
Love left me to die
Broken, bleeding inside
Fighting to take one last breath
The welcoming stillness of death
But I want to see life again
I long for your touch, a sweeter refrain
This life became so hard
I’m locked away from your once loving heart
Time changes so much
All in the end becomes dust
If only we could hold on
We’re weakened, our strength is gone
Fears and regrets they still remain
One day this pain will subside
When all is lost, maybe we’ll find far away
Somewhere lasting love resides
Love left us to die
Broken, bleeding inside
Fighting to take one last breath
The welcoming stillness of death
You’re locked away from my once loving heart.
9. The End
I found you
Tears in your eyes
I kissed you
Once you were mine
I’ve lost you
And this is goodbye
I kiss you
We tremble, we cry
But this is the end
We are lost in this winter
Far away, can this be real?
In this winter
Can this be real?
This is the end
Lost all alone
I weep for you
You are so far from home
But this is the end
No turning back.
10. As I Close The Final Page
Creating order from chaos
Believing hope may come
But we choose to end it all
And fall, fall as one
I will cry with you my friend
As I close the final page
For the end of innocence
And the darkness within our hearts
And we’re all in this together
All longing for something more
Yearning for word of our lost home
Fearing the savagery
Without and within
As the night closes in
All the hopes we once shared
Come to nothing-our once open lives
Our crushed, broken lives
And will he be standing there
When the smoke has cleared
When death draws near
Salvation from the sea?
As the night closes in
Points of light remain
Like the hopes we once had
Dare we dream again?
Dare we dream again?
11. Autumn
You stand before me in my mind
But you are lost to me this time
You walk before me in my dreams
But you are never as you seem
As you move, so I see
Your reflection
On the water
Beauty, Frailty
Come now to me
