Tracks



01. Cast Out And Cold

In spite of all we saved, the mortal cast away
Lately I’m confused, what more is there to lose?
To the fuse we lit and let loose...

We came down from the stars and out of night
We came down from the stars and out of night
We came down from the stars and into light

We gazed into the fires as they ignited
From the stars we came, we were excited
Oh, but time smooths the stone
Here we’re alone
Cut loose, cast out and cold
We saw the stars of night’s forgotten link
But somehow now we’re sheep
Who do not think

The spider sitting pretty in his web
The bringer of tomorrow has been fed
The crowd is into gloom, they worship dread
Castaways, like flies above the dead

Tell me cloud about the sun
Got to stop the darkness that’s begun
Nothing seems
To make the beams come through
Every invocation is refused

02. The Error Lives On

If you catch them at the station
You must ask them what they need
Must the whole of civilization
Just collapse in to chaos and greed
If you catch them at the station
Before the body bombs blow
Just a quick enhanced interrogation
We must find out all they know

While we’re having this chat
The question escapes:
Can all this be wrong?
All this fighting connects to something
I swear the error lives on
The error lives on

Did you catch them
Did you find them
And expose them so all will see
We can crack them
And their obstruction
And conduct them
To where nobody leaves
We’ve been waiting
For this dissention
Yes, we all have our roles
For the show
Just a taste
Of pure investigation
Let a hundred blossoms grow

Do not fear, all we want to do is talk
Just some names and then
You walk away
Wait! I can’t hear
Don’t you want to tell me something
‘Cos I hate to stand here wondering
I get bored, you’ll feel pain
And so little time remains
Stop playing games

03. Crumble

Who will speak for everything
The world at war, the stolen spring
The winds that rage across the plain
In silence and in pain

Who will weep for what we’ve lost
Glaciers melted, permafrost
For sands that trespass far from home
To choke all that we’ve known

04. Inquisitor

Further on the tiger waits
He knows his meal is close to taste
The factions fighting blindly keep him smiling
And just when he may want to pounce
The voice of reason starts to sound
But no one thought to get it down in writing

Well, time’s a stealer, money walks
And all we get’s an empty box
But the debtor court is gleaming brightly
Meanwhile as the tiger smiles
We gather in a single file
And sleepwalk
Sleepwalk nightly

So all the dreaming people
Arriving in their line
Whilst he remains in hiding
All in good time

High above the eagle-flies
Drones are watching from the skies
They supervise, they supervise
So am i being ominous
Or don’t you think they notice us
Just pieces in their game
But she’s out there wailing
Beware the sunrise
When all the world is watching
All in real time

Mum’s the word we have to say
Our father left us far away
But always we’re crawling back
Trust me, we are past between
Where something real is happening
Down the rabbit hole to find the tracks
Those hypnotizing mesmerists
The greedy black-ops alchemists
Further on the tiger waits
He knows his meal is close to taste
The factions fighting blindly keep him smiling
And just when he may want to pounce
The voice of reason starts to sound
But no one thought to get it down in writing

Well time’s a stealer, money walks
And all we get’s an empty box
But the debtor court is gleaming brightly
Meanwhile as the tiger smiles
We gather in a single file
And sleepwalk
Sleepwalk nightly

So all the dreaming people
Arriving in their line
Whilst he remains in hiding
All in good time

High above the eagle-flies
Drones are watching from the skies
They supervise, they supervise
So am i being ominous
Or don’t you think they notice us
Just pieces in their game
But she’s out there wailing
Beware the sunrise
When all the world is watching
All in real time

Mum’s the word we have to say
Our father left us far away
But always we’re crawling back
Trust me, we are past between
Where something real is happening
Down the rabbit hole to find the tracks
Those hypnotizing mesmerists
The greedy black-ops alchemists
Disinformation – it’s theirs to share
If you have to go away
I’ll make a place to stowaway
I’ll hide you there, I’ll hide you there

Shake off the breakdown
There’s something to see
Our whole human fortune is on the retreat
Let’s turn around now, position our ears
Expect the solution
There’s nothing to fear

Fear, the great inquisitor
That never welcome visitor
Who brings us pain
With no attack
Looking through two vacant eyes
It’s sure to come as no surprise
You try to get away
It wants you back
But deep down undercover
Where all good secrets go
We’ll wait in the corner
In faith the truth will show
Deep under cover
Wait in faith

All they want to know is what we’ve done
Abandon any hope
It has begun
No, they can’t believe
We struggled on in the silence
‘Cos we were convinced
That the answer was coming

Clear out the wreckage
Prepare it for seed
It’s always been fertile
But we were deceived
Nothing is broken
And everything clears
We’re all here together
Together, we are here

05. We Only Have Eyes For You

You better run, you better hide, leave it all behind you
You better run, you better hide, leave it all and go
Well the road is getting narrow
And we’re getting to the brink
Don’t wait until tomorrow, it’s closer than you think
Pink and yellow, yellow and pink

You better run, try to hide, take it to the mountains
You better leave, you gotta know there’s no compromise
You better run, you better climb
And pray that they don’t find you
You better leave, you gotta go, no time for goodbyes
Just leave your shops and houses, just leave it all behind
They’ve got their ways to find you, so you better hide
You don’t control me, so keep your hands to yourself

Move out through the meadow, it might just pass you by
Let go of all connections, beware the eagle eye
Take it to the mountains, where we all can disappear
They’ve been watching us forever
But still we are here
Well the road is getting narrow
And we’re getting to the brink
Pink and yellow, it’s closer than you might think
You don’t control me, so keep your hands to yourself
And you don’t own me, you never have

06. Sourdome

[Instrumental]

07. The Walker

He walks on water till the end of days
He walks on water and then he walks away
And if you’re standing close at hand
We’ll smile together as it all ends
I see the end falling, I feel the end
Go to him – surrender
I hear the end calling, call me back again

08. Wake The Sleeper

Some days it takes me down
With useless conversations of things that we can’t see
And though connecting now to endless information
The desert of creation – help me out

09. C99

Take me to your leader that I may be reborn
Take me to your leader that there I may reform
Take me to your leader, walk me over water
Preserve the order and throw away the key

10. Tumbleweed

Who will speak when all is done
A world asleep, a waiting son
The winds that sweep across the land
As molecules make plans
Who will cry for all that’s gone
Childhood stories old men’s songs
In the empty village square
The tumbleweed spores prepare

Isaac watches through his tears
As Abraham draws voices near
I would give my life for you
I wish to god you knew
When the world began to stray
I’m not so sure that i can say
Who will come to fight for you
When they train their lights on you
In the empty village square
Most people wouldn’t dare to care

Eyes are searching from afar
To steal tomorrow, maybe more
And if this rage upon us stings
It’s just the end of everything
The end we saw begin
Who will speak for all of this
Who will stop the ventriloquist
Hurry now ‘cos if we fail
The tumbleweed will prevail

11. The Order Of Protection (One)

Do you see how the shepherd herds the sheep
He protects them for their meat – we bleat, we bleat

Do you see (or do you choose to believe)
That the cage will set you free
Imprisonment and tea

12. Metro Deathfire

Oh you can see the signs on the horizon forming
The smoke cannot be disguised
So you drive over lands beset by grief
To seek relief you’ll never find
If you fly, if you go where no one else dare tried
I can guarantee your survival if you follow me

Pray, pray that you will never know
The souls that you left behind
The strain works upon your eyes
So let them close, it’s better to be blind
And try, you can go where no one’s left alive
I can guarantee your survival if you just agree

No time for indignation, new worlds to gain...

13. Transit

[Instrumental]

14. In Dissonance We Play

We came down from the stars and into light
We came unto this world from out of night
We came down from the stars and into light
So look out there’s a fire, it’s burning white
It’s coming soon you cannot stop the fight
Chaos is nigh, feed the supply
You’ll feel it in your bones

The crowd is high on gloom and drunk on dread
Still busy dealing doom and feeling dead
Passed out in the room upon the bed
Where sirens take your mind but give you head

Tell me cloud about the sun
Are you two ashamed of what’s become?
Nothing of integrity or truth
Everyone can see, but there’s no proof

15. The Sleepers Wake

One day it may arise amidst a rare condition
Unrest is best ignored
The faithful are interred
In deep contained foundations
That keep us evermore obscured

So saintly round we go in duty to the mission
And hungry for a score to bring in more
The battlefield is set with pieces of an endgame
In dissonance of mind we all play, we all play
The storm is surging through
In waves of expectation they rattle at the door
So sure – keep it pure, keep it pure

The sisters are sleeping and cannot be disturbed
The sisters are sleeping, their world preserved
But order is crumbling
And the rumbling maelstrom is heard
The convent is shaking, it is breaking
The rampage awakens and sleep is forsaken

As day comes into view, i struggle to remember
Though only just a pawn i’m strong
It’s just one tiny step through wreckage and debris
It dawns on me: we can see

16. The Order Of Protection (Two)

Do you see what is lost can be retrieved
What is broken be redeemed
Well it could be, who else can guarantee but me?

I believe we are witness to reprieve, once forsaken
Now in league and I’m here to guarantee
There’s nothing else you need but me!

17. From Hydrogen To Love

The bringer of the future
Never thinking of the past
He’s been waiting here forever
And he knows we can not last
But time is so slow and we are not blind
The gates still stand open
There’s something left to find
With you go I

Deliverer and teacher
If we only had today
Would we wail about tomorrow
Would we wallow in our pain?
Call the keeper sleeping soundly
From his colourless cocoon
Now’s the time to suffer loudly
There’s no shelter from the truth
There’s no shelter from the truth
There’s no shelter

We go with you
With you go I
All the way through over the side
With you go I
All the way through
We go with you
With you go I
Over the side we go with you

Satan’s angels fly, Satan’s angels try
Satan’s angels cry

The author of misfortune
Ever wishing for a loss
All he knows has been forgotten
No one thought about the cost
He keeps hoping for redemption
He is looking for the perfect cross
Time is still slow, nothing left to hide
So tear up the story
And smash away the design
With you go I

Destroyer, destroyer
We’re coming much closer
We know what you’re after
And now we are wiser

The bringer of the future
Never thinking of the past
He’s a master concealer
But does he know what’s in the glass?
Collector, collector
Always wishing for what you had not
That lonely cycle of suction
It felt so good you forgot
And as the trophy draws nearer
The revealer is unmasked
The illuminant is made clearer
And the way is lit at last

The force that gave us everything
From hydrogen to love
Through the spark of consciousness
See, the purpose comes
The force that gave us everything
And love

I’m only dreaming
Of times that we survived
I’m only thinking of all that is alive
I’m only losing
The storm that formed in me
And that was illusion
Confusion underneath
So long to that thief
I’m only dreaming
Of those who said goodbye
Who lived a day to try
I’m only thinking of all we have inside
And things we let go by
I’m only thinking

18. Eternal

As you can see
It’s easy to ignore the warnings
And we barely are inclined
Indeed
As faces gaze into what’s coming
It seems most of them don’t mind

And you can see
The line is long but still it’s forming
The crowd, never ending tide
As they stare into a world
They failed to notice
At least no one is surprised
But they cry
As though there’s nothing left to try

Well it could be
Still they’re on the outside watching
The joke seems too hard to find
So they stay
It isn’t ours to question all that
We’ll leave most of them behind


If we fly
If we go where no one goes alive
I can guarantee our survival
If you’re there with me
If we strain our eyes
We can make it
Through the darkest night
I can guarantee our survival
If you stay with me
If you stay with me
I can guarantee our survival
If you stay with me
I can guarantee our survival
If you’re there with me
If you’re there with me

Rain - carrying the ocean
Rage - carrying the day
Rain - showering emotion
Rage - following the way
Rage - powering the motion
Rage - carrying the day

Bring down the rain

19. Endgame - An End

Do not fear
All we want to do is talk
Only words
And then your thoughts

Wait! I can’t hear
Don’t you want to tell me something?
‘Cos i hate to stand here wondering
I get bored, you feel pain
And so little time remains
To be bored and feel pain

Your reward
For a well played game
