Lyrics

1. PREFALL

(instrumental)


2. PLANETFALL

We've got a planetfall situation
A whirl-pool deep in piercing eyes
You gave this promise to the house of trust
Visionless fools all turn to dust

So who holds the crown ?
This fury belies the pain of decision
Hold me close
As the pressure starts to build

Chorus :
Planetfall, come to me now
You know the face of an ancient heart
Planetfall, come to me now
Well it's tearing me apart

So you felt the power raging
A sadness deep in fragile times
You walk alone in the gardens of pain
Just look to the skies where the gunships roam

So who holds the crown ?
This fury belies the pain of decision
Hold me close
As the pressure starts to build

Chorus

Cos the corporate lives they glisten
Broken lies in sterile times
The masses weep, still so alone
Scream terror to the skies where the gunships roam

So who holds the crown ?
This fury belies the pain of decision
Hold me close
As the pressure starts to build

Chorus


3. HEADACHE STATION

Gliding through headache station,
Traverse this liquid hearse
I'm dying brother
I'm dying
But he no longer cares

Chorus :
Forever downbeat
Futile despair
Lost in losing
I'm always here
Forever downbeat
Oh sweet mess
Admit defeat ?
Is there nothing left ?

So carve me out some image
I am claiming to fear
Show me all their fables
I'm getting so near

Chorus

Battered in the overhang
Lost in parallels lost
A brave new morning dawning
So break the fucking lot

Cos this thing goes on for years man
Feels like autumn again
Just when you're reaching berakthrough
Seems like you're back to square one !


4. HARSH BELIEVING

Well this is all life's game
They the master you the slave
But fuck it man
I ain't afraid
Gotta save my fate
My fate to save

Chorus :
You claim you'll never be broken
But these pieces of you lie in such confusion

Hope for nothing but decay
Well this is harsh believing my friend
You gotta live till the bitter end
Accept your fate and forge it strong

Chorus

I'm gonna spread the flames
Walk the backs of ten thousand schemes
But the empires falling away
Another parts of plans we lay

Chorus


5. CIVILISATION DREAMING

(Instrumental)


6. WHISHING HORSE

I saw the rain today
It washed my tears to the floor
And as I turned away
You know the pain got more

Chorus :
But it only takes a second for me to see now
Well yeah I said I love you
But the pain bites deep now

So when the towers came down
And the end came clear
You saw the wishing horse choke
And I could feel you near

Chorus

This is the bitterest pill
I start to pray
But the gods they turn away
I'm gonna run from this land
Run to be free
Caught in the winds for the time to change
And as I look up and wonder at your clear brown eyes
Well I know you and me

Well we've gotta survive
Caught up inside
Lost like a child ?
With the turn of the wheel
I am broken inside

Forever down on this highway
The moon is silent and low
We drive in silence together
And now it's time I must go

Chorus

I'm gonna run from this land
Run to be free
Caught in the winds for the time to change
And as I look up and wonder at your clear brown eyes
Well I know you and me
Well we've gotta survive


7. YEAR ZERO

Eyes resembled mirrors like nihil's flame
Mind took the passion but Mammon became
Insecurity in waiting
But faith never came

Chorus :
Smash me back to nowhere
Year zero
And I'm thrown into the void
Year zero
Erase the pain of being
Year zero

Endless wasted ideas in a subhuman race
Flesh's pointless promise for a dismal embrace
Cynics dreams of power or impurity's grace

Chorus


8. EVERGREEN (THE FOOL'S THRONE)

Into the land where tomorrow sets
And the dawn is fading to grey
Upon the hill where the forest rises
Taking me far away

I sit alone with a pale reflection
Paint my dreams on this hollow earth
But the sky, she calls in a promising grace
Sorrows child, walks through this place

Chorus :
Now upon foolish thrones
Modern tradition she flows
The future is dying here
God I wish that you were near

Onto the beach with the broken horizon
Waves crash pain upon a distant shore
The shattered hopes of every season
Leaves seeds of doubt I've never known before

So we kept the words of some pure intention
Softly singing for tomorrows birth
But the sky turns red in a gathering haze
And I fall to the ground in a lovers grace
Chorus


9. SHINIG VIOLENT

Memories of the absurd
No I aint sad no more
Miles they separate us
So fly me towards

Chorus :
All my hopes and desires
Your beckoning calls
And that sweetest death babe
Well, diamond eyes, shine on

Come on shining violent
Softer shades in daybreak
Dancing in the flames
Melting in the heat

Chorus

Visions in the desert
Voices in the breeze
A promise in this dark times
My need is bittersweet

Chorus


10. INVENTION OF GOD

Well this is all a romantic fable
Harm alarms (well they tell tall tales)
A garden before the fall
Lingers, then disappears

Silence, such silent ghosts
Servant, servility, sir
I am full of such oddities
Another night wasted away

Chorus :
But as the waters enclose
I know, only Almazan knows

Well I'm still as a lakes cold surface
Faces appear in its iciness
I shadow myself with leaves
And find another glimpse of love

So I pray within a stone building
The invention of god for children
What do your masters feed you ?
Affliction, sterile dereliction

Chorus

The invention of god for all your children
The invention of god but is anyone listening


11. AN ETERNAL DAWN

With strength of mind
We'll forge new paths
Of fragile ways
To tenderness

The road we gave it skeletal form
Lead us to an eternal dawn

Chorus :
Scorn the sun and blast the moon
Provoke my thirst for truth
Cleave the heart and smash the earth
Like fragments out of you

Are you the voice deep in the wind
Yearning for the first days of spring
Are you the screaming in the breeze
Urging for your final release

Chorus

Colliding
Surviving
Your hopes mean nothing
Broken away with time

Reprieving
Deceiving
You mean everything
Women into my life
