1. GUSTAV'S ARRIVAL

(Instrumental)


2. O FORTUNA

O Fortuna, am I but your clockwork hero?
From here in the last ditch. Toe to toe, blow for blow, yeah. You are the enigma!
Well never mind! Never mind. Never mind. The future's already happened
And there is always someone left to fight to the death. To the death
With every breath inside this body. My dreams are what's keeping me alive!

And it is wise to be careful, when the animal shows no fear
Oh puny human - you are no match for me. For things are never as they appear
As they appear...

For things are never as they appear. Not as they appear...

Now I've been freed from the ropes that bind. Well who is the puppet master?
Dishing out an eye for an eye and spitting teeth. Well you'll never take me alive!

And O Fortuna, am I alone in this darkness we call redemption?
Well I could not change you, no more than I could change my shadow
No more than I could fly to the moon... To the moon

Oh puny human - you are no match for me
For things are never just quite as they seem to be. As they seem to be...


3. INSIDER

The certainty that I am me and that there is everything that I can see
That what I perceive is all it appears and the belief that I am even here

It's all in my mind. Well it's all in my mind

Into an ocean I am cast, between the past and all things that will come to be
If every choice I make is my own, inside the unknown, then how can there be destiny?

Well... It's all in my mind. Well it's all in my mind
And it's all inside. This is all in my mind

In every moment I dismiss, and every metamorphosis
That from a bud the flowers bloom, a butterfly from each cocoon

It's all inside. Well it's all in your mind
Then it's all inside. This is all in your mind

Well it's all inside. Well it's all in your mind
Well it's all inside. This is all in your mind


4. MONGREL'S ANTHEM

Caught as you are in the trouble and strife. Best make what you can of this mortal life
Well some people make things and others destroy things

Beware when dangers slip in, of damage adventures will bring
For life is a hazardous thing that slowly seeps under your skin
And causes your being to sting

Well the fickles of providence will or they won't
But you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't
Some people will love you - and others will hate you

Never heed what doubters say. Your instinct will show you the way
In times when you wander and stray. No master for you to obey. Save dying for some other day

Well the spoils of friendship are bitter and sweet. So take a close look at the council you keep
For some people will aid you while others will fight you

But what do you really know? Just into which battle do you go?
Examine your own shadow. Your adversary it may show as clear as the horns that you'll grow
As clear as the horns that you grow. As clear as the horns that you grow


5. R.I.P.

Only luck keeps us out of the coffin
Mistakes can be fatal. Mistakes can be fatal
This state of affairs is complex and dangerous
Just who is a friend and who is an enemy?

Oh anaesthetist! You are the servant delving into my mind

I'd be high above the mountaintops. I'd be deep beneath the ocean blue
I'd be far across the universe. Dripping in ecstasy. Dripping in ecstasy

The illusionist has made the box empty
But what is a certainty? What is a certainty?
And into the Saturn, now enter the surgeon to cut out your dignity. Cut out your dignity

Oh anaesthetist! You are my servant
My anaesthetist! You are the servant delving into my mind

I'd be high above the mountaintops. I'd be deep beneath the ocean blue
I'd be faster than the human eye. I'd be diving through an endless swoon
Faraway across the universe. Faraway across the universe
Faraway across the universe. Faraway across the universe
Get faraway across the universe. The universe. The universe. The universe

To rest in peace. To rest in peace. To rest in peace


6. STRANGE SEAS OF THOUGHT

Upon strange seas of thought...

Upon strange seas of thought. Upon thoughts of strange seas
Upon strange seas of thought. I'm gonna go where I please

Upon strange seas of thought. I'm making my way
Upon strange seas of thought. Into the waiting day

Is there anybody out there? Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there? Where the sky is like the ocean

It's like the ocean...

Upon strange seas of thought. Upon strange seas of thought

Where the thunderclouds are endless and are waiting to fall
On abstract tangents I am riding on strange seas of thought
Where perplexion is a spider web - a sphinx suspended on a thread
Don't lose control of who you are upon strange seas of thought

Out there upon meadows of green I'll be lying
On mountains of dreams. I'll be climbing. I've been climbing
Upon secrets untold, upon treasures of gold I'll be finding
Well, I'll be finding

Is there anybody out there? Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there? Well is there anybody out there?
Where the sea is like the heavens


7. PROCEDURES

Amongst processes I'm finding and schemes that need designing
With procedures for applying and purifying

Oh, the taste of possibilities of voodoo sensibilities
Well I've been making my enquiries in matters such as these

I've been purifying. I've been testifying
I've been sanctifying. And death defying

A man needs insight to rely on. To manipulate each outcome
To have systems he can summon. To master and govern

I've been purifying. I've been testifying
I've been sanctifying. And death defying


8. ELYSIAN GOLD

What was held by these weary hands that have been harvesting
Where brave souls grew tall in endless fields of gold that whispered in the breeze
Hallowed were thy birds in trees. We marvelled at the skies
With wonder in our eyes and summer's butterflies

Enchanted in each gilded August. Embraced where swallows chased the sun
They wove a complex fugue where wild flowers bloomed only in your name
Where no two days were quite the same. But if you close your eyes the past is never lost

Well I would hold your hand when you are vulnerable and alone
And wherever dangers roam, I would keep you safe from harm
Through those valleys of shadows, beyond lagoons of pink flamingoes
Beyond rainbows we became, where music falls as rain
It falls to ease the pain where memories remain

Upon a kiss of tenderness. Into the skies from out of each abyss
Ascending to the depths of purest azure bliss
Where we would never have to say goodbye
And there would never be a tear to cry
Where I would be with you forever at your side
Where I would be with you until the end of time

Until the end of time. Until the end of time


9. OORT

(Instrumental)


10. WHAT IS MUSIC?

From beyond a ghostly place. A magic spell is never seen
Some things are incomprehensible. Some things are simply inexpressible

In each series of events. Entwines the fabric of relationships
All things are just a consequence. All things are more than just coincidence

Disturbances will be. Where there is energy. Where there is energy
Something that we couldn't see. One part a dream and one part reality
Disturbances will be. Where there is energy. Where there is energy
Something that we couldn't see. One part a dream and one part reality

Prising open the hidden meaning. At the heart of a paradox
Of somewhere transiently tangible. Of somewhere eternally ephemeral

Where there is energy. Where there is energy. One part a dream and one part reality
Disturbances will be. Where there is energy. Where there is energy
Something that we couldn't see. One part a dream and one part reality

Disturbances will be. Where there is energy. Where there is energy
Something that we couldn't see. One part a dream and one part reality


11. HYMN OF THE ATEN

I'll shield my face for you are my master. Here in the glow of each glorious sunbeam
Into the blue, up into the blue, yeah. Keep me alive here. Keep me alive here

Keep me alive here

So look to the east with each breaking morning
And look to the west with each sunset descending
Into the blue, up into the blue. Well some days you win and some days you lose

Ascending. Ascending. Well the sun shines holy. The sun shines holy, yeah

So do unto me, for I am your servant. Burning my skin in each molten rapture
Into the blue, up into the blue. Where death holds no fear. Death holds no fear

Where death holds no fear. Where death holds no fear. Fear...
Where death holds no fear. No fear...

Ascending. Ascending. Well the sun shines holy. The sun shines holy, yeah


12. MAP OF AN IMAGINARY PLACE

With your permission. Escaped this perdition
Each line and division, is to define you. To confine you

A fleeting recollection, of someone I'd forgotten
A split second impression of a safe place. Of a kind face

Designed Eden without a care. Come emancipation. I would take you anywhere

And gracious steps lead me up into the heavens of reconciliation
These mountains and chasms. These jungles and oceans
With trespass forgiven and sunbeams that are golden
With no hate or religion, just each other to discover

Designed Eden without a care. Come emancipation. I would take you anywhere
Arrived and vanished into air. Come disintegration. Where would you be waiting?

Where would you be waiting? For these arms to be waiting, yeah
Where would you be waiting? For these arms to be waiting

With my head on a pillow. As sails billow. The ground is hollow
In every gladness. In every sadness
