From over the mountains A gathering storm A vision of empires fading The wind and the water The red sky's reborn We're safe in a garden waiting Lost in the light of our golden ages Found in a book hidden on the pages Words for a time we'll wake on a perfect day Through cold stones and clover A road built anew The saints and the war they're winning For home and for harvest The wisdom that grew The end of the fight beginning Lost in the light of our golden ages Found in a book hidden on the pages Words for a time we'll wake on a perfect day 2. SKELETONS AT THE FEAST (Instrumental) 3. IS THIS LOVE Break my heart Break it like you mean it Cause you won't get another chance Steal my thunder Suck the air out from my lungs Tear me down Throw me in the garbage Get some gasoline and light a match Turn me into ash Or I might be comin' on back Is this love Is this lovin' how it's done? I can't get I can't get enough of you You make it so much fun fun fun Am I a lunatic? Beat me up Yell at me in front of your precious little friends Shut me out Don't listen to a word I say I got nothing Brewin' or discovered Just you and your pretty face So pull me under Squash me like a bug as I'm runnin' the race Is this love Is this lovin' how it's done? I can't get I can't get enough of you You make it so much fun fun fun Am I a lunatic freak guy? Oh...you oughta know You oughta know I won't let go I won't let go You oughta know I love you so 4. ALL THAT'S LEFT In dreams I reach to touch your perfect face again In dreams you never cry or walk away But I wake to the truth like daylight streaming in I never found the way, the words to make you stay Photographs and falling leaves Scattered dust of memories The poems I wrote I still believe That's All That's Left of You and Me I found a flower in a book you hid away In better days that seem so long ago I tried to touch it but it crumbled in my hand Just like the future we would never know Photographs and falling leaves Scattered dust of memories The poems I wrote I still believe That's All That's Left of You and Me Echoes of a better time Ring forever in my mind Where I'm going where I've been Different places in the end Photographs and falling leaves Scattered dust of memories The poems I wrote I still believe That's All That's Left of You and Me 5. WITH YOUR KISS The rainy days have come again Feel like breakin' down Feel like breakin' down Memories of long lost friends Come and flood my head All the things we said Swords and knives and fork and spoons For the killing feast Alive or deceased Spinning round and round my room Feel like breakin' down Feel like slowin' down Come now hold my hand Walk with me Talk with me Life's all good When I'm alone with you If I had just one wish Life remains just the same Don't change a thing for me All I can be All I can do Hope and faith Seal my fate With you kiss forever on my lips I am home Not alone Take me home Call me crazy call me mad But there is no choice I need to hear your voice Tellin' me things I don't want to hear Pushin' me back Back to a place that I fear Feel like breakin' down Just when I thought I knew everything Just when I thought I had it all goin' on All brand knew and redefined Don't need no help I'm feelin' fine Cut out all the junk and trash Streamline the bulk and stash Hey! Speak to me of times gone by Don't want your glib reply Can't believe I fell for you Give it back again And do what you do Come now hold my hand Walk with me Talk with me Life's all good When I'm alone with you Don't change a thing for me 6. SOMETIMES THEY STAY, SOMETIMES THEY GO Hell, I don't know why, but Sometimes they stay, sometimes they go I tried & I tried but like mercury It just slipped through my fingers Golden apples on a silver tray You know what they say, well... Sometimes they stay, sometimes they go Sometimes they stay... Like birds in the sky Well, sometimes they stay 'n sometimes they go Like watching the tides Tryin' to hold back the waves You know what I'm sayin'? Even the President's gotta pay It all goes astray 'cuz Sometimes they stay, sometimes they go Sometimes they stay, sometimes they go Well, some people claim they can make it rain Well I don't know... How long should I wait? 'Cuz sometimes it rains 'n sometimes it don't Even the preacher man's gotta pay... Sometimes they go Sometimes they stay, sometimes they go Sometimes they stay, sometimes they go... Sometimes they go Sometimes they stay Sometimes they go Sometimes they stay, sometimes they go... 7. THE SLOW CRASH LANDING MAN It seems he never lost his way Through grievous dreams and shattered days While leaving words weighed on his mind His road is winding to an end And now it's time that he defends The world and friends he left behind The slow crash landing man unfolds A future he so gently holds Then shines his truth like molten gold We're free again The slow crash landing man has won He knows his final race is run So we unload the starting gun He's free again He lived his life in strangers' skin While all the people breathed him in They never thought to ask him why Then on a moondark winter night The visions crept into his sight Like heavens' stars swept cross the sky He rose up from the wreckage Walked away alive All cried out in wonder He survives! The slow crash landing man unfolds A future he so gently holds Then shines his truth like molten gold We're free again The slow crash landing man has won He knows his final race is run So we unload the starting gun He's free again Free again... 8. WHEREVER YOU STAND Born from the hands of all men The things we do are nothing new But I feel it changin' But I don't buy that way of thinkin' To many robots in the cue What they tryin' to do? It's a crazy world in which we live We take take take and rarely ever give The sense of the common man has gone The way of the mammoth Fight fight fighting fighting all the time Us and them eating away our minds So can we really ever get along I highly doubt it Wherever you stand Stand up tall Release us all Where is the love in the human heart Turned into stone, will only fall apart The fox bought the chicken coop And took over the palace So what can we say what can we do Isn't there more of us then there are of you One day the time will come That renders you useless Wherever you stand Stand up tall Release us all Freedom does not come easy Will we end it all or figure it out It's a crazy world in which we live We take take take and rarely ever give The sense of the common man Has gone the way of the mammoth Fight fight fighting fighting all the time Us and them eating away our minds Let's take the lessons learned And do something about it 9. HEREAFTER Pray for her Grace in mourning light Bathed in shades of white Gentle Earth open to receive We believe she is home None are left alone Whispered words and sacred songs Summon days we belonged together as we Knelt and nursed our hopes Then rose and watched the heavens run In awe and wonder Understand Time has come we know she cannot stay Pray for her Pray for her Pray for her Story just begun Warm in golden sun Days stretch out flowing to the skies In our eyes we were whole Something in her soul Cleared the fog of endless hours Days bloomed as flowers all around us while the Truth she hoped to hide Inside and sheltered in her heart A life had started Still one soul departed Part of us We'll go on but how I can not say Pray for her Pray for her AS FAR AS THE MIND CAN SEE 10. PART 1 : DREAMING IN THE AGE OF ANSWERS We mapped the waves in the ocean Bridged the clouds in the sky Grew our wings in a maze of emotion Found our will to fly We lit the land of believers With words we burned into stone We held our ground in the war of deceivers Claimed it as our own We're dreaming in the age of answers We're breathing in eternity While the future flows and dances As far as the mind can see On the edge of creation Beyond the absence of doubt With every reason but no explanation We fought our way back out We're dreaming in the age of answers We're breathing in eternity While the future flows and dances As far as the mind can see 11. PART 2 : HERE'S A MAN You'd best not return take the money and run Said a well-meaning friend to this prodigal son I know where you're going don't care where you've been Cause you've already lost more than you'll ever win Here's a man whose time has past While crime is marching on This night on earth will be his last And when he's gone, he's gone The noises in his head kept him wired and awake As he savored events of his last lucky break He said set 'em Paco and I'll knock 'em back down When my glass is half empty, pour another round Here's a man whose time has past While crime is marching on This night on earth will be his last And when he's gone, he's gone Old Charlie Tanner was out walking his dog Found the prodigal son face-down dead in a bog The priests and the prophets were all mystified That no paper reported the fact he died That he died... 12. PART 3 : THEY KNOW WE KNOW We turned our backs as the enemy landed Handed them guns then got out of their way No one's surprised by the way it all ended It's well documented now there's nothing to say Cause they know They know we know They know They know we know Some took the last train and some took their chances Danced out of sight by the light of machines Move along people there's nothing to see here You don't have to be here to know what that means Cause they know They know we know They know They know we know Now we sleep with one eye open Dream the days of running free With hearts unbroken No words unspoken Remember what our lives again could be Cause they know They know we know They know They know we know 13. PART 4 : STRAM OF UNCONSCIOUSNESS We're dreaming in the age of answers We're breathing in eternity While the future flows and dances As far as the mind can see 14. REARRANGED I have never been in this For all the fortune and fame All I ever wanted Was to be in the game A part of something bigger Something bigger then me Inspired from love of the moment And being what I was born to be Sometime a dream gets wasted Sometimes it all just falls and fades away And you may feel you've made it Then in a flash it all get rearranged Deaf dumb and stupid Or am I just plain nice Live and let live was a mantra I used More then once or twice Thought I had it all going on Thought I was cruising in 5th gear In a snap it all went out of control Everything that was so normal now seemed So confusing and weird Now the live and let live That was so safe in my heart Didn't feel that sincere Giving all that I had Doing right I believed I'll just go cry in my beer I blinked my eyes and I had a new life This much is clear And what were my choices Just go it alone That's not what the script read Stay in the zone It's just getting started About to explode And when you've reached the top Don't forget where you came from lyrics added by mattpriest - Modify this lyrics
