1.Before the Fire

(instrumental)

2.Return(Coming Home)

I've seen the terrible hand of struggle
and felt the pain the hubris brings
I have tasted the wisdom of divinity
and the horror of its sting

And though they tell you i am lost
and their words report my death is come

the fates have left me breathing still
very much alive

And though my mind is cut by battles
fought so long ago
I return victorious
I am coming home
And if the paths that I have followed
have tread against the flow

there is no need for sorrow
I am coming home

For the distance I have traveled
upon an ocean of despair
have led me back into your arms once more
an answer to a little prayer

3.Binary

Stand behind me
and above me
with voices plaguing

my deepest thoughts
And the visions
they keep coming
I keep hearing
my angel fall

in a dream
without a future
without a breath

to take away
and my resolve;
a higher being
with wings of ash
and eyes of fire

Don't blame me, I'm just the messenger
I don't know what this message means
Don't blame me, I'm just the messenger

I'm just the messenger don't blame me

As things will happen in this life
with no resolution,
the duality in men
requires constitution.
for the shame of hatred spent
might endure your sorrow
if your higher self is shackled

by your binary soul

creation's flaw;
the angels fell
without his grace
to light our path
I am the mirror
I am the destiny
I am the herald

who points the way

The wounds I bear
have left me humbled
once a child of divinity,
but if my breathing
days be numbered,
will I bring this victory?

4.The Seraphs

My body's made of fire
Black and deep and cold
Burning for the choice I made
So many years ago

And love will keep me tethered
For my wings are stripped of flight
But into my mad deluded world
They cross the battle lines

Into their end

One dream of God
One dream of less

One dream of strength and cowardice
With the rage of the seraphs at my side

One dream of man
One dream of hate
One dream of love
One dream of hate
With the rage of the seraphs at my side

The punishments I carry now

Are of my own design
For once I brought the hand of God
And now this gift is mine

5.Spectators

(instrumental)

6.Tears

Reaching out in deadened night,
Emptiness by candlelight,
Memory a haunted sea,
Souring in sudden rage,
The damage plagued upon my love,
Driven by this selfish urge,
To separate yourself from me,
But not the way you planned,

The gambit flow of shifting thought,
Shall ride a kiss upon my cross,
And with each moment of despair,
Lay to heart a lovely tear.
Within each bulb the salty sea,
Swims an ocean silently,
Swims the forest of my dreams,
Swims the essence of my being (...I call me)

Come ringing back now,
(can't explain),
The measures swept away in pain,
Hatred, will I escape your grasp,
Buried feelings let me pass.
I cannot kill this final flame,
The fire that once consumed my heart,
But Hope must have some kind of fuel,

And chance must keep this fire.

reduced to ashes, We run colder on the outside. A Spartan hope that dwindles near the source
of this contempt. What has my hopeful certainty for the future returned upon my desperation
and difficult memory, besides wasted moments, whose questions are not resolved? Simple things
went un-addressed, until such time as they could only pass away. Losing you shall (forever
mark my breast. Injury knows no justice.)

Swimming out the tears in my eyes
Looking for the shore,
I hope that this is the last time...
I hope that this is the last time...

7.Go Away

falling together in the cold grass holding hands
on the hill side watching stars descend.
forever seems like just an empty promise
we spent so long ago

but we were younger then.

each sour word
sounds so absurd
but lingers
in the air
while happiness
in an ashen dress
fades into

the years
each lonely hour
my heart has slept
has drifted back
to me
a splintered dream
of awful things
that now
have come to be

She said Go
I don't want you any more
She said Go
i don't need you now, my dearest
She said Go
i don't love you anymore
She said Go
and I heard the angels cry

for us...

simple words that simply disappear
while silence has replaced the sound of laughter
and in the twilight memories shimmer in a
breath of hesitation
but it only lasts a moment before its gone

but I don't Believe her.

8.The 4th Phase

If your love is marred by anger
perhaps it wears a mask
and underneath those hollow eyes
a prisoner is cast

but grief will buy you nothing
and pity a little less
open up the cage you carry and release yourself from this

once we have a promise
twice we have a curse
three times is impossible
and four times even worse
once we have an accident

twice we have a fault
three times is delinquent
and four times is the fall

I will stay here
if you believe
I will remain
if you believe

If time and tide refuse to wait

remind them who they are
each second drained from the hour-glass
is born a distant star
and sorrow is not reaching out
it's only lying in your heart
so if you're sailing in unhappy seas
bid the storms depart

when I sleep I dream in billions of colors...

billions of colors, am I not real?

If time and tide refuse to wait
remind them who they are
each second drained from the hour-glass
is born a distant star

when birds are bent in windy skies
the foolish ones will land
live each moment with a savored taste

look beyond the mind of man
but grief will buy you nothing
and pity a little less
open up the cage you carry and release yourself from this

Is God a machine?
like you, like me,
won't you tell me please
is God a machine?

9.Earthfall

I don't understand why this is happening

Despite all of it all
I still believe

Maybe its all in my head
I just need a quiet place where I can think

10.Orphean Wing

The doubt that madness breeds
feeds this eternity
perhaps the promises were not intended
to endure.

The scars that life has carved
fell deepest on your heart
and the strength to overcome
has left you waiting here.

But though the phantoms of this place
want to steal away your grace
I'll sleep beside you through the cold
I will not leave you here

And in this silence I can hear
all the fury and the fear
but I promise you my love
I will not leave you here
For I will bury you
Where they bury me

But the emptiness is filled
and the hatred reconciled

with a daily struggle
to forget.
Beyond frustration and contempt
is the pain of heaven spent
by those ignorant and cold;
at your expense.

I see, I see, I see we move with the water
I feel, I feel, I feel this darkness receding

I see, I see, I see we flow like the ocean
I feel, I feel, Oh God I don't think I'm breathing

11.Carnival

If you're very very quiet
And you do not make a sound
I'll share a little secret
That seems a bit profound
Each thought that is imagined

Gains a life its own
And drifts into reality
Looking for its home

Some people call it Karma
Some people call it fate
Some people call it kindness
Others call it hate
Some people use it wisely

Some people sell it cheap
Some people call it happiness
but others call it grief

Tragedy from tragedy
A lover's kiss (that's simple)
Religion falls behind the walls
where paradise remains
Does suffering suggest the cause

of all our little questions
The answer was not coming soon s
he paused for reflection

12.Resist/R

striking back for the last
heart attack
first you tip the scale
then they tip it back
this escalating trend
will never end
if they take from you
then you take from them

with less concern
for what is fair
to an unconsidered
blame you bear
this escalating trend
will never end,
if they take from you...
you take from them again

waking up from a dream into another day
never taking to heart all of the words they say
it's so hard to believe if you never see
that the truth is split on the in-between
waking up from your dream into another day
never taking to heart all of the words they say
it's so hard to believe because the truth is this:
what hatred breeds you must resist

Who was the first
and who was the last
did you count yourself
or omit the past
this basic concept
begins again
when your actions flow
from the hate within?

I don't understand
why do you try
to make hatred and intolerance seem justified
I don't understand your prejudice and lies
tear down your ignorance open your eyes

if the heart is rich
then what you think you are
in your core beliefs

should not become a sword
this basic concept
is where it ends...
if you close your heart
then you begin again

I don't understand
why do you try
to make hatred and intolerance seem justified

I don't understand your prejudice and lies
tear down your ignorance open your eyes

waking from your dream state
waking to the truth

13.Roman

who knows what kind of reality the soul occupies,
and where it goes when the body ceases to function?
it has been my experience that all things follow patterns
miracles happen through the consistency of nature
I choose to believe that this same principle carries on beyond this reality that life is unending,
but ever changing...

I can feel you here, I can feel you here, I can feel you here, inside

14.Spira(Don't Fall)

So I am lost
And I am found
With contradictions
I can't resolve
So many paths
So many doorways to the truth
And when I dream
I know her face
But the mist obscures my way

Reaching out to wipe these tearful eyes
once more

And here we go
Around and around
A bitter struggle plays out beneath my smile
And here we go
Around and around
don't fall, don't fall for me

And with this sword
A raging fire
Carried by my soul's desire
And visions of a world
Inscribed to breathe

I do not feel
tell me what's wrong with me

A dream of silver swans
Lying in the dark
Lost in separation
They follow me home
A dream of silver swans
Swimming in my mind
Filled with isolation
They follow me home

And when we touch
The shadows flee
With clues submerged in mystery
The physics of this second sight
Has lead me here
