1. Dawn
2. Horizon
walking through my memories
recalls a time in my youth
pacified by imagination
innocence saved me
from the truth
I find myself upon a ground
I haven't visited in years
now a stranger
where in my youth
I grew and conquered my fears
distractions from the present
comes rushing in
and the pressures to succeed
are here again
fear over taking me
I'm frightened at
how far I've come
since yesterday, soothing presence
comes over me
voices calling to me
climb aboard the wind
set your sights beyond
what lies upon the horizon
I turned to find myself alone
alone to stare back
at the things I've done
forever locked into a place in time
and never to return
except within my mind
time is precious
I've not a moment I can waste
each day I take from the future
I add to my past
I'm frightened at
how far I've come
how long will I last
3. Underworld
fairy tales my father told me
when I was a child
of evil dragons that filled the sky
engulfing the land in flames
but in every tale there was a hero
who like me, was a child
he would find his courage
stand alone
and see the dragons slain
once upon a time
a time we know today
and yet another tale
a boy and his father traveling
through the city
detour pulls them through
a hidden reality
wide eyed horrified
the child's eyes
nightmare awoken
the fantasy's broken
decaying buildings
and crying children
frozen hands surround
the burning cans
I said father can you tell me
what is this place I see before me
this is the underworld my son
this is the land beneath the city
it will disappear
just close your eyes
it isn't real it's not alive
this is the underworld
now years later
the memories still strong
the day I witnessed what the
dragons had done
my father's tale had come to life
am I the child that makes it right
I've seen the magic dragons and
their many evil forms
so rich and unfeeling
they've all become
I'm just a child so young
I'm no army I'm just one
4. Missing
cradled within a hand
she finds the strength to stand
she reaches out with both hands
to caress a face she can't understand
a world she can't find
she knows in her mind
she can see it so clearly
but when the hour glass spills
its last grains of sand
she must turn it over
and continue her life
before the dream began
have you seen me?
when you escape
into your castle of sand
do you find me
among the pictures on the wall?
do you fall to your knees?
can you tell me who I am?
mourning by a sullen door
mother collapses to the floor
crippled from the stolen years
captured memories stained in tears
once held the future
now it's lost in years
cradle still for many years
have you seen me?
when you escape
into your castle of sand
do you find me
among the pictures on the wall?
do you fall to your knees?
can you tell me who I am?
5. Fear the Storm
grasping
for the feet of a savior
pleading
to be cleansed of disease
hanging on for as long as able
drawn back by the ebb of the sea
like soldiers standing proudly
as their ancestors did before them
standing through tempest and time
shadowing those behind them
silent are they in number
to the clouds they do not yield
now forever will they slumber
fallen frail to the labored steel
if not a sound was heard
from that which had fallen
would we deny the ruins
the air is thickening
my breath is quickening
I fear the storm
I fear the storm coming
waters are rising
and the world she sighs
I fear the storm coming
and our senses numbing
I fear the storm
the sky is falling
coldness reshapes the boundaries
stealing life from beneath us
preying on our mother's womb
leaving the future to haunt us
wounds left unattended
infected by careless greed
spreading quickly through the veins
from the stacks of the industry
the air is thickening
my breath is quickening
I fear the storm
I fear the storm coming
waters are rising
and the world she sighs
I fear the storm
off in the distance
the man on the moon
a silent witness
repeat chorus
