1. The Ebb and the Flow
Between the ebb and the flow
My mind gets twisted
With the touch and the go
My world gets wasted away
Between the rain and the snow
It's a blind illusion
At the end of the road
I'm hoping to find me again
CRAWLING OUT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD
WANTING TO MEET YOU
ALL THE VOICES IN MY HEAD
WANTING TO BEAT YOU DOWN
With the turn of the world
Tides are rising
With all that I know
I'm crying for yesterday
With the ebb and the flow
Life is fading
And sooner than you would know
It's time to burn you away
CRAWLING OUT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD
WANTING TO MEET YOU
ALL THE VOICES IN MY HEAD
WANTING TO BEAT YOU DOWN
All life is destined to corode
The price we pay for sins our own
The blind don't wanna find their way
The world don't wanna be saved
CRAWLING OUT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD
THEY'RE COMING
ALL THE VOICES IN MY HEAD
THEY'RE COMING
TO BEAT YOU DOWN
TO BREAK YOU DOWN
2. Cosmic Dancer
She's calling back her summer
By the voice on the breeze
She told me summer's searching for her groom
Where all the rivers flow
Drowning her in the colors of her bloom
You know that she really should have
Come around a little sooner
Cos the echos on the wind they tell
That you should know just as well
The chill that's in the air it knows
That my baby's kept the fires warm
DON'T YOU KNOW
SHE'S MY COSMIC DANCER
The short little ladies are telling me
The old man is coming
With a sickle in his hand
To take up all that grows
Drowning her in the colors of her bloom
You know that she really should have
Come around a little sooner
Cos the echos on the wind they tell
That you should know just as well
The chill that's in the air it knows
That my baby's kept the fires warm
DON'T YOU KNOW
SHE'S MY COSMIC DANCER
The echos on the wind they tell
That all is really not that well
And you should know just as well
My baby don't kiss and tell
DON'T YOU KNOW
SHE'S MY COSMIC DANCER
3. Cobblestone Road
Blind man can't see the sign of the cross
Just down the road
Poor man don't understand
That the cost is gonna be his soul
All his life he questions why
And takes the name of the Lord in vain
You think by now he'd have realized
Why he's losing at the game
(Why he's losing at the game
And it's driving him insane)
Rich man don't give a damn
About the beggars he turns away
All he owns is a sleight if hand
Saving up for his judgement day
He'd be wise to realize
that his soul can still be saved
So thank God that you're still alive
And you've still got time today
(Yeah you still got time today
So don't throw it all away)
IT'S ONE STOP DOWN THAT ROAD
JUST SO THAT YOU KNOW
ONE STOP DOWN THAT ROAD
DOWN THAT COBBLESTONE ROAD
Some dead men go to heaven
Most dead men go to hell
All dead men live forever
And this dead man never tells
IT'S ONE STOP DOWN THAT ROAD
JUST SO THAT YOU KNOW
ONE STOP DOWN THAT ROAD
DOWN THAT COBBLESTONE ROAD
4. Tragedy Man
The look on your face is giving you away
And any pretense you might have
Can't lie behind complacent eyes
Cus I can see what it meant
Lost your life, lost your soul
Lost everything that you ever had owned
Down the hole with nothing close to anything
That'd put meat on the bone
YOU WON'T LIVE TO TELL THE TALE
ABOUT A MAN WHO DIED
SO SAD AND TRAGIC MAN
SO DAMN BEFORE YOUR TIME
YOU'RE A TRAGEDY MAN
Now the feelings growing like an embryo
Heavy labour with fear
Feels like heaven has shut the door on everyone
And damnation is here
Man you'd live again if it would help you
And live your life like a saint
But damn, it's over and no one's gonna help you
In that firey lake
YOU WON'T LIVE TO TELL THE TALE
ABOUT A MAN WHO DIED
SO SAD AND TRAGIC MAN
SO DAMN BEFORE YOUR TIME
YOU'RE A TRAGEDY MAN
5. Goner
Astral beings fly on telepathic highways
Am I blind?
Cos I can't see what you see
Your demons must've took you for a ride
And all the times
That you've come and gone
You still don't seem to know
What's going on
I'VE GOT THIS PREMONITION
AND IT JUST WON'T GO AWAY
I'VE BEEN CONFUSED FOR ALL MY LIFE
WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH STONEHENGE ANYWAY?
Your UFO just arrived with armies of small green men
Out of sight
Spirit travel's left you high and dry
With questions out of mind
And all the times
That you've come and gone
You still don't seem to know
What's going on
I'VE GOT THIS PREMONITION
AND IT JUST WON'T GO AWAY
I'VE BEEN CONFUSED FOR ALL MY LIFE
WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH STONEHENGE ANYWAY?
You say you know Jesus Christ
Well I say you nothing about God
Your truth is out there
Somewhere between the heavens and the stars
And all the times
That you've come and gone
You still don't seem to know
What's right and wrong
I'VE GOT THIS PREMONITION
AND IT JUST WON'T GO AWAY
I'VE BEEN CONFUSED FOR ALL MY LIFE
WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH STONEHENGE ANYWAY?
6. Stonehenge
Out on the beaches that hem them seven seas
There comes old Lady Luck wisping by the trees
Tells me a story that is heavy to my ears
Said wasted time is up boy, time to face them fears
Looking back on this life it didn't mean a thing
Cos all I ever had were the wages of my sins
Never thought I'd see the day that it all went up
Good God in heaven am I really out of luck
NO NO NO, WHERE THERE IS SMOKE
THERE'S A FIRE
YEAH YEAH YEAH, AND THOSE FLAMES
ARE RISING HIGHER
Won't get no second chance, can't ride for free
And once you're done you know you're history
Down on the other side what will you say
When thoughts of heaven go up burning in that flame
Thoughts of heaven go burning up in your flame
And thoughts of heaven are driving you insane
NO NO NO, WHERE THERE IS SMOKE
THERE'S A FIRE
YEAH YEAH YEAH, AND THOSE FLAMES
ARE RISING HIGHER
In the blinking of an eye
Crawling up to kiss the sky
NO NO NO, WHERE THERE IS SMOKE
THERE'S A FIRE
YEAH YEAH YEAH, AND THOSE FLAMES
ARE RISING HIGHER
7. Damn Delilah
Damn, damn you Delilah
Little liar
I gave you my world and you left me
You left me out in the cold
So don't come running to me
When the story's over
Cos you know that I'll be
A little wiser and older
Hey, hey you Delilah
Devil's lyre
What will you say
When you have got to pay the piper
He won't believe your lies
So leave them all behind
Cos you know I tried
I tried and now I'm telling you
I DON'T WANNA SEE DELILAH IN MY DREAMS
I DON'T WANNA SEE DELILAH
I DON'T WANNA SEE THE LIAR IN MY DREAMS
BABY DON'T WANNA SEE YOU
PROMISED ME YOUR ROSES
GAVE ME ONLY THORNS
WELL DAMN YOU DELILAH
I DON'T WANNA SEE DELILAH IN MY DREAMS
COS BABY YOU'RE A LIAR
8. Limbonic Void
Out in the twilight hall
Where the wind begins to shine
Calling out the maiden voyage
Out on the brink of space and time
A solitary beacon stands
For the ships a guiding light
All of those who strayed from home
Now await to get it right
IF LIMBO DOES EXIST
WELL THEN I WANNA KNOW
WILL I BE HERE FOREVER
WON'T I PAY THE TOLL
IN MY LIMBONIC VOID
CALLING LIMBO
Drifting to where no one knows
I just hope we'll make it fine
Asteriods and laser beams
Spread the view before our eyes
If this here is all there is
Then I hope I'll lose my mind
Always chose the shades of grey
Now I'd die for black or white
IF LIMBO DOES EXIST
WELL THEN I WANNA KNOW
WILL I BE HERE FOREVER
WON'T I PAY THE TOLL
IN MY LIMBONIC VOID
CALLING LIMBO
9. Journey's End
There came a misty morning
Out on the shores of time
And I heard the sirens calling
There was nowhere left to hide
I never should've gone out this far
I never should have gone out at all
OH YEAH, SO GLAD TO SEE HOW
YOU'VE COME AROUND THE BEND
I TOLD YOU WE'D MEET NOW
AT THE JOURNEY'S END
(How we'd meet in the end...)
Now treading the silent oceans
And the tides that seem to glow
With deadly premonition
Telling us it's time to go
Never should've trusted the reaper
When he told me I could keep you
OH YEAH, SO GLAD TO SEE HOW
YOU'VE COME AROUND THE BEND
I TOLD YOU WE'D MEET NOW
AT THE JOURNEY'S END
And if that you could leave
I think you surely would
And if that you could see
I think you'd understood
A face of silver lining
The season no one knows
The day we are approaching
Will reckon to our souls
How many will lose in the end
How many will die in their sins
OH YEAH, SO GLAD TO SEE HOW
YOU'VE COME AROUND THE BEND
I TOLD YOU WE'D MEET NOW
AT THE JOURNEY'S END
10. Postmortem Blues
It's a bad situation
That you just can't seem to lose
Damn the anticipation
The kind that feeds the blues
I'VE COME AROUND THE SUN
I'VE BEEN AROUND THE MOON
AND I STILL CAN'T SHAKE
THOSE POSTMORTEM BLUES
It's a crazy situation
My sky is falling down
Here's my resignation
Last train is leaving town
I'VE COME AROUND THE SUN
I'VE BEEN AROUND THE MOON
AND I STILL CAN'T SHAKE
THOSE POSTMORTEM BLUES
Don't ever say I didn't warn you
Of the day you'd lose it all
There's millions of out there baby
Freezing in the cold
I told you once, I told you twice
A thousand times and you still don't know
So now's the time to pay the price
You're dying twice and it cost your soul
Postmortem comes for you
