1. THE ASH STILL FALLS

Divested, still alive
In the shadow of the light
We fight on
Divested of the word
Of a prayer that's never heard
We fight on
To our sorrow

Though it may have flowered
It falls on me, oh...
So, the grey showers...

And so we're torn apart, no matter what we do
Our structure crumbles after all
They wait...

It dies with me, oh...
So, the grey showers...

And so we're torn apart, no matter what we do
Our structure crumbles after all
They...
They wait, to find out
Faith
In a prayer that's never heard
To fight on
In our sorrow

Grey, the ash still falls
Within us
Grey, this twilight land
Of sorrow

Silent grey showers...
And so we're torn apart, no matter what we do
Our structure crumbles after all
Nightfall
And so we're torn apart
And on and on and on:
Grey, the ash still falls
Within us
Grey, this distant land
Of our home


2. SUFFER THE FASTER

That day, self-regard for self-abuse
You blamed us for...? You blamed us far away
A flagrant disregard, flaccid and loose
As violence razors…

Razors us free, cuts us free, I will bleed
Suffer for need! Suffer again!
So long ago and far away from here

Accepting, waiting arms beyond your use
The blood-stained caul of favour falls away
And now the knife is sharp, take up your noose
Your silence strives for freedom

Suffering falls. Withered, the long night bleeds
Suffer the faster!
So long ago
Razors us free, cuts us free, I will bleed
Suffer for need! Suffer again!
So long ago and far away from here

You’re circling
Your equal rights, a reason to fight
Misery falls and liberty calls
With one voice shall we speak

The long night bleeds
So long ago


3. SOON

“Soon, this wasted, killing time…”
This waiting is killing me
“Soon”, our greatest, whitest lie
Our faded, paraded
Freedom
When there’s nothing left to write, what will we read?
“Let me read”
His faded, paraded…

“History, so sweet a misery.”
So find the reason and talk to me
“…To find the time to move on, to better things.”

You, you’re wasted on your lines
“Your latest, berated creed.”
You, you’re fated to your crimes
“A doubtful and hateful
Freedom
“When there’s nothing left to fight, how will we bleed?”
Without need…
His faded, paraded…

“History, so sweet a misery.”
So find the reason and talk to me
“…To find the time to move on, to better things.”

Sometimes I disappear
Sometimes I steel myself for freedom

“History, so sweet a misery.”
Our survivors
Have time to move on to better things.


4. OCTOBER

A frozen vision of a perfect, stagnant stream
A latent hatred in the waning, wasting twilight of the dream
Deny, deny...
A comfort culture sets us free
Sedition!
Protagonist: "Eternity"... falls afar
See, on and on, our apathy, our none as one
See...
"To do more and who could deplore what it stands for?"

Successful:
An acceptance of sacrifice. No compromise!
Unequal, in this struggle, this honest fight through long October nights
For our principles, our vision of utopia
In rejecting this veiled abuse, this ministry of truth
Predators of misuse

The heady, narcoleptic dogma of the few
Directed opposition, fear-inferring fallacies ensue
Awry, awry:
Our good intentions fade from view
Ambition:
The execution of the truth - fall apart
You, on and on, our unity, our one is none
You...
To divide and hope to provide, untried

Successful:
An acceptance of sacrifice. No compromise!
Unequal, in this struggle, this honest fight through long October nights
For our principles, our vision of utopia
In rejecting this veiled abuse, this ministry of truth
Predators of misuse

"In the failure, in the nature of the cause"
Future, of the undivided few
To provide the will to decide, untried
Unimpaired, unimpaired...
