1. I LOVE YOU

She said I love you before she died
But she didn't say it to my face
I wasn't there when she said goodnight
She said it to someone else

This should have been me
This could have been me
This would have been me
If I wasn't afraid

This should have been you
This could have been you
This would have been you
But I chose to wait

Here is our story
Here is our plight
No happy ending
No lullaby
There ain't no glory
No hero, no knight
No dragon, no princess
No valour, no fight
I go to sleep alone
Every night I wake with a stone
Where once was a heart

I said I love you at the graveside
With a sense of loss I can't replace
I'd give the world for another try
She'll never be here to tell

This should have been us
This could have been us
This would have been us
But now it's too late

Here is our story
Here is our plight
No happy ending
No lullaby
There ain't no glory
No hero, no knight
No dragon, no princess
No valour, no fight
I go to sleep alone
Every night I wake with a stone
Where once was a heart

She said I love you before she died
But I never got to bid farewell
I wasn't there when she said goodnight
Now she'll say it to no one else
Again

I loved you then
I love you still
Be sure I did
I do, I will
I loved you then
I love you still
Be sure I did
I do, I will


2. SHE CALLED ME DIAVAL

Last night I did dream
Of one so serene
I cared not to wake
Oh, engulfing desire
Through forests of fire
Empress of grace
This fabled life was mine
In between a myth and a lie

A legend in name (Diaval)
That was never explained (Diaval)
But it struck fear in one and all
No longer in pain (Diaval)
Who was I to complain? (Diaval)
I just answered her every call
She called me Diaval

She called me Diaval

Her wish, my intent
Pure malevolence
For those she opposed
I, her swashbuckling fiend
We kissed as they screamed
For mercy not shown

A legend in name (Diaval)
That was never explained (Diaval)
But it struck fear in one and all
No longer in pain (Diaval)
Who was I to complain? (Diaval)
I just answered her every call

At night when I'm asleep
I will yearn for her to return
I need the one
Who called me Diaval

A legend in name (Diaval)
That was never explained (Diaval)
But it struck fear in one and all
No longer in pain (Diaval)
Who was I to complain? (Diaval)
I just answered her every call
She called me Diaval

She called me Diaval

She called me Diaval
(She called me Diaval)


3. SOMEWHERE BETWEEN HAEVEN AND ARMAGEDDON

The divide
From disaster
To divine
Is a razor
That's so fine
It might cut you
To the core
Evermore

All my life, my gut feeling
Is not to trust
My sixth sense
No, not once
The mistakes kept repeating
All the plans
I was making
Just turned to dust

When the weight of a choice feels like a threat
From a shot in the dark to a gun against my head

Somewhere between the lines
And where the coin will fall
I come undone
Somewhere between the lines
Between heaven and armageddon
Somewhere between the lines
And where the dice will roll
The deed is done
Somewhere between the lines
Between heaven and armageddon
(Between heaven and armageddon)

On the edge of believing
Stars align
For you and I
And only us
When the old wounds are healing
Comes a kiss
A kiss of venom
From Lady Luck

There's a doubt in my voice I can't forget
That we are poles apart is by far the safest bet

Somewhere between the lines
And where the coin will fall
I come undone
Somewhere between the lines
Between heaven and armageddon
Somewhere between the lines
And where the dice will roll
The deed is done
Somewhere between the lines
Between heaven and armageddon

From a bed of roses, my love
To a bed of nails
Heads or tails?

Somewhere between the lines
And where the coin will fall
I come undone
Somewhere between the lines
Between heaven and armageddon
Somewhere between the lines
And where the dice will roll
The deed is done
Somewhere between the lines
Between heaven and armageddon

Between heaven and armageddon
(Between heaven and armageddon)


4. MISSED CALL

Morning light is creeping
Hope, it slips away
Any time the wire rings
I pray to see your name
Rain against my window
Tears fall in my heart
Love's become a desert
With you as my mirage

Will you ever call me
Will you
Tell me I'm your all
The one who you adore
Somewhere in the shadows
Waiting
Aching for your call
I tried to make you hear
Missed call
Missed call

Day drifts into darkness
I pour your drink of choice
And place a wish upon my lips
To hear your calming voice
No sleep for the lovelorn
The phone at my bedside
Checking there's a message
For the thousandth time

Will you ever call me
Will you
Tell me I'm your all
The one who you adore
Somewhere in the shadows
Waiting
Aching for your call
I tried to make you hear
Missed call

Haunted by this longing
A ghost of flesh and blood
Lying here so fearful
That these tears become a flood
Will this be my torment
To always wonder why
You chose to lock the door
Without goodbye

Will you ever call me
Will you
Tell me I'm your all
The one who you adore
Please call

Will you ever call me
Will you
Tell me I'm your all
The one who you adore
Somewhere in the shadows
Waiting
Aching for your call
I tried to make you hear
Missed call
Missed call

Missed call


5. MADONNA OF THE NIGHT

Madonna
Madonna
Madonna

She was born to be eternally enthroned
To inspire the desired and disowned
So devotional
Pure and true

Madonna
Madonna

Her domain is such a treasured sanctuary
Lose yourself and then find everything you need
Too emotional
For the few

Let the lesson begin
They cannot kill what's within

Madonna of the night, we call unto you to grace the floor
Face the music one last time in this dance, in this dance
Madonna of the night we call
In black light we stand so tall
In the dark our hearts comply and this dance becomes a shrine

Madonna
Madonna

Tenderness that they have twisted to a threat
Innocents in a burning discothèque
Mother to us all
We hail you

Let the lesson ordain
They can't extinguish the flame

Madonna of the night, we call unto you to grace the floor
Face the music one last time in this dance, in this dance
Madonna of the night we call
In black light we stand so tall
In the dark our hearts comply and this dance becomes a shrine

Becomes a shrine
Love's a language that they can't understand
Oh-oh-oh
Lonely shadows never once hand in hand
Oh-oh-oh
Let us pray

Madonna
Madonna

Madonna of the night, we call unto you to grace the floor
Face the music one last time in this dance, in this dance
Madonna of the night we call
In black light we stand so tall
In the dark our hearts comply and this dance becomes a shrine
And this dance is our goodbye

Madonna
Madonna
Madonna
Madonna
Madonna


6. LUNAMOR

The starlight in your eyes
The sea's melodic tide
We stand there, mesmerised
A love that cannot die

The moonlight on our skin
As memories begin
You whisper and it sings
Like distant violins

A sudden bitter wind
The numbing chill it brings
A light so quickly dimmed
I cry, remembering

The lustre has been lost
This love became star-crossed
The earth beneath the frost
Still hides the fatal cost

Two hearts, one love, forevermore
Under the full moon we soar
We found forever' there that night
Lunamor
Oh, Lunamor
A tender grace
A timeless touch
A sallow face
A sacred place
Velvet skies
Moonlit shores
Lunamor
Oh, Lunamor

Lunamor
Lunamor
Oh
Lunamor
Oh, Lunamor

The morning finds me lone
A heart of crumbled stone
Where love no longer stays
As shadows fade away

Yet still I hold a trace
Of moments we embraced
That soft and fleeting grace
Now lost in yesterdays

Two hearts, one love, forevermore
Under the full moon we soar
We found forever' there that night
Lunamor
Oh, Lunamor
A tender grace
A timeless touch
A sallow face
A sacred place
Velvet skies
Moonlit shores
Lunamor
Oh, Lunamor

Lunamor
Lunamor
Ohh
Lunamor
Oh, Lunamor

Lunamor
Lunamor
Ohh
Lunamor
Oh, Lunamor

A tender grace
A timeless touch
A sallow face
A sacred place
Velvet skies
Moonlit shores
Lunamor
Oh, Lunamor


7. PARALLAX

The film you think you're living in
I might request a pseudonym
If I could look through your lens
Maybe it then would make sense
So hard to see what's wrong or right
What should I use as my insight?
Is it my heart or my mind?
Impulse or one open eye?

The distance
Between us
Is twice what it has been as
Conflicted
Objectives
All collide

Life is not a script you directed
Every angle fits your perspective
Take one, take two
Life is not a script you perfected
Twist the plot to fix your perspective
Take one, take two
Take three, four
And one more

As people we remain the same
Don't let perceptions bring disdain
Although from where I am sat
You see your fiction as fact
A silence over breakfast plates
I hide the bread knife just in case
I disagree on the shot
Or hit another blind spot

Believe me
It's not fair
I'm caught in your crosshairs
Oh, so hopeless
Don't focus
On one truth

Life is not a script you directed
Every angle fits your perspective
Take one, take two
Life is not a script you perfected
Twist the plot to fix your perspective
Take one, take two
Take three, four
And one more

I should be taking a side
It's just so hard to decide
I should be taking a side

I should be taking a side
It's just so hard to decide
I should be taking a side

Life is not a script you directed
Every angle fits your perspective
Take one, take two
Life is not a script you perfected
Twist the plot to fix your perspective
Take one, take two

Reframe, reshoot
Take one, take two
Background, changed view
Take one, take two
Take three, four
Credits roll

I should be taking a side


8. PAST PAIN

These flowers could be broken bones
This shoreline could be shattered glass
The moment then repeats again
This feeling may forever last
This sunlight could be poison rain
And all that's lost, we can't regain

Without the will to smile or frown
To play the king or act the clown
To leave this room or burn it down
To cry or laugh, to fly or drown
No sign of life yet no bloodstain
No, I'm past pain

Past pain
A shadow that lingers
A tear in the night
Past pain
A silence that deepens
The absence of light

And so long ago
I had hoped there was
Maybe one better day
But that's all in vain
It's lost
Past pain
Oh, past pain

This moon could be a ball of dust
This bed could be a funeral pyre
And what has gone excludes me from
That distant land they call desire
When all is lost all that remains
Is I'm past pain

You lock yourself below the place
Where woes can grow or hearts can ache
No spirits rise in ecstasy

Past pain
A scar that still whispers
This void of a soul
Past pain
A wound that reopens
A story untold

And so long ago
I had hoped there was
Maybe one better day
But that's all in vain
It's lost

Past pain
The pain of tomorrow
The stain of today
Past pain
The weight of old sorrow
Is making me stay

And so long ago
I had hoped there was
Maybe one better day
But that's all in vain
It's lost
Past pain

I cannot taste the bittersweet
I cannot feel my own heart beat
I can't be sure that I still breathe
I'm certain though I can't believe
In anything, but don't complain
For I am past pain


9. THE GREY MACHINES

The Grey Machines
Revolve in rhythm
Like a soundtrack for
A new religion
But in sixteen hours
There's fifteen minutes
Where you get to rest
And plan for death

This blue jumpsuit
Is red from torture
When I sold my vote
To buy some water
But the toxins taste
As sweet as murder
And the choice is stark
Bastille or spark

Heard there's a world where
Free will is the law

Why do I need wings to fly
When falling feels so sound
Why do I need open skies
When I can kiss the ground

Here sleep's a dream
As rare as laughter
Any hint of hope
Is manufactured
And nostalgia's now
The one addiction
That they care to cure
With brutal force

I've felt the fist
A glove of velvet
But they add barbed wire
For extra torment
It's the only time
There's satisfaction
In their lifeless eyes
And loveless lives

Why do I need wings to fly
When falling feels so sound
Why do I need open skies
When I can kiss the ground

Oh, The Grey Machines
Revolve in rhythm
Oh, The Grey Machines
A new religion

Heard there's a world where
Free will is the law

Why do I need wings to fly
When falling feels so sound
Why do I need open skies
When I can kiss the ground

Oh, The Grey Machines
Revolve in rhythm
Oh, The Grey Machines
A new religion

Revolve in rhythm
A new religion

Revolve in rhythm
A new religion


10. VAGUENESS OF FAITH

Once in sadness, I
Cried for help in semaphore
People walked on by
Busy looking for someone to ignore

That kiss in the rain
No sentimental masquerade
Like a sundial in the shade
You always hide your one true worth away

Yet my lack of belief remains devout
Within
Without

And I'm still certain that I'm waiting to implode
Recurring burdens like a knife against my throat
Slow motion tragedies that I can't stop in time
They promised me blind faith but not the peace of mind

Not afraid of love
Nor ashamed if that means us
But the myth they love to sell's
The closest yet that I have been to hell

I cannot crack the code they claim to know
The place you're going to
Is where I've just been through

And I'm still certain that I'm waiting to implode
Recurring burdens like a knife against my throat
Slow motion tragedies that I can't stop in time
They promised me blind faith but not the peace of mind

I don't know how, I don't know when
I don't know who or where I am
Morning has broken me again

Once in sadness, I
Once in sadness, I
Cried for help
No one heard
No one saw
No one cared
No one's there

And I'm still certain that I'm waiting to implode (Waiting to implode)
Recurring burdens like a knife against my throat (No, it won't let go)
Slow motion tragedies that I can't stop in time (Be sure, I tried)
They promised me blind faith but not the peace of mind

But I can be redeemed if I can find the lines
All I need is the faith for all to be divine


11. MAY THIS BE YOUR LAST BATTLEFIELD

In the stillness of twilight
Where shadows stretch long
You stand at the edge of today
So it's farewell my friend
And hello to the end
With one final tale to be told

Of love
Of loss
Of the heart grown cold

I'll be gone
From this forsaken life
I'll be gone
For good by eventide
May this be your last battlefield
Before the curtain falls

The sword that you wielded
That cut down the lies
I now lay it down by the sea
No more cries for this world
Blood stained flags to unfurl
The moment is nigh to find peace

Let light descend
My eternal friend

I'll be gone
From this forsaken life
I'll be gone
For good by eventide
May this be your last battlefield
Before the curtain falls

A last breath
A broken sigh
As the stars fade in your eyes
A lightning strike
Then all is still
Free at last from burdens of the will

May this be your last battlefield
May this be your last battlefield
May this be your last battlefield
May this be your last battlefield

Before the curtain falls
Before the curtain falls
And the earth does call
