1. THE WAVE

Phantoms emerging
Warped faces beckon, yearning
Billowing out forth
An undulating sigh

Ill-boding, ominous
Livid encroachment
The vanished voices call,
Raised fingers pointing
Longing for thine belief
Or forgotten dream
Accusing spectral plea
Calling nihility

Glaring eyes so cold and forlorn
Shrouds of wistful grief and mourning
Flowing phantasmic doldrums
Enveloped in coiling mantle
Wraiths and masks of yearning, morose
Petrified in languish, longing
Apparitions pouring forth as
Writhing fingers, stretching, call for thee

[Chorus]
Spirits take form
Wave-like shade
Bursting legion
Spectral embrace
Dolefully
Grieving ocean

Incorporeal scream
Unveiling vision
Of visage gushing through
Spiritual gesture
Uprising woeful surge
Revenant weeping
Lamenting illusion
A stream of ghostly dream

[Chorus]

Phantoms emerging
Warped faces beckon, yearning
Billowing out forth
An undulating sigh

Glaring eyes so cold and forlorn
Shrouds of wistful grief and mourning
Flowing phantasmic doldrums
Enveloped in coiling mantle
Wraiths and masks of yearning, morose
Petrified in languish, longing
Apparitions pouring forth as
Writhing fingers, stretching, call for thee

[Chorus] (x4)


2. ETHEREAL WALTZ

Lights dance upon the stage from a dream
Marionette-like in form, they take their places
Spin, dance, enthralled in melody
Eternally bound in soulless rapture

Beyond the veil of corporeal flesh
As velvet dark washes over the light
A masquerade of unknown origin
Visions of ethereal waltz begin

Lifeless fluidity in motion
Twirling figures in trance, devotion
Like a puppet strung from the shadow
Bob and sway without emotion
Faces blurring away
Featureless their decay
Barren eyes turned to gray
Endless procession

[Chorus]
Lights dance upon the stage from a dream
Marionette-like in form, they take their places
Spin, dance, enthralled in melody
Eternally bound in soulless rapture
Pale glowing march of forgotten gleam
Cavorting, flowing, a haunt of presence graceful
Departed souls in formation
Ethereal waltz in eternity’s repose

Hypnotic grace, enchanting beauty
Glimpses of silken mystique through the shade
Voices unknown, so warm, enticing
Sound like a symphony, come hither

[Chorus]

Drawn into the pageant,
Thine memories washed away,
Stripped of dismay,
Time has no meaning,
One more for the promenade.
- This puppet’s strings carry it away.


3. WAITING

Locked behind this door, with the dust upon the floor.
Trapped inside this attic, I remain, forgot.
Countless years have gone. Can’t recall, its been how long ?
Here within this attic, where the shadows fall.

Days, years. One and the same.
Seasons blending.
Sands of time, fleeting.

Chances passed me by. Fear of change, its hard to try.
A stagnant existence in oblivion.

Faces blur into haze.
Indistinct and vague,
Silhouettes fading.

[Chorus]
So I’m waiting. Is there an end? Among the lost and forgotten.
Moments, futures that could be, slipping through trembling hands.

Now I’ve waited, waited until there was nothing left to wait for.
I’ve waited, waited until there was no one left to wait with me.


4. IT'S GONNA BE ME

You might been hurt, babe
That ain't no lie
You've seen them all come and go, oh..
I remember you told me
That it made you believe in
No man, no cry
Maybe that's why

Every little thing I do
Never seems enough for you
You don't wanna lose it again
But I'm not like them
Baby, when you finally,
Get to love somebody
Guess what,
It's gonna be me..

You've got no choice, babe
I've got to move on, and you know
There ain't no time to waste
You're just too blind (too blind), too see
But in the end, ya know it's gonna be me
You can't deny
So just tell me why

Every little thing I do
Never seems enough for you
You don't wanna lose it again
But I'm not like them
Baby, when you finally
Get to love somebody (somebody)
Guess what (guess what)
It's gonna be me

There comes a day
When I'll be the one, you'll see..
It's gonna-gonna-gonna-gonna-gonna

It's gonna be me

All that I do
Is not enough for you
Don't wanna lose it
But I'm not like that
When finally (finally)
You get to love
Guess what (guess what)

Every little thing I do
Never seems enough for you (for you babe)
You don't wanna lose it again (don't wanna lose it)
But I'm not like them
Baby, when you finally
Get to love somebody (love..)
Guess what (guess what)
It's gonna be me

Every little thing I do (ohh...)
Never seems enough for you
You don't wanna lose it again (don't wanna lose it)
But I'm not like them
Baby, when you finally (baby when you finally)
Get to love somebody
Guess what (guess what)

It's gonna be me..
