2. MIDNIGHT IN THE DESERT

Sink into this raylessness of night
The visions vanish
Symbols all around, don't look down
So soothe and rock me
Arching vapors calm me down
The cord is broken

The silver cord is broken loose
I talk of worms, I talk of tombs
Now to approach the other side
An effort now to cry aloud

I have no name
I have lost my breath
I have no name
I have lost my breath

Sink into this raylessness of night
The visions vanish
Symbols all around, don't look down
So soothe and rock me
Arching vapors calm me down
The cord is broken
All around, don't look down

These are the words I never said
These are the monsters in my bed
These are the dreams I dream instead (Don't look down)
These are the voices in my head

These are the words I never said
These are the monsters in my bed
These are the dreams I dream instead
These are the voices in my head

These are the words I never said
These are the monsters in my bed
These are the dreams I dream instead
These are the voices in my head

These are the words I never said
These are the monsters in my bed
These are the dreams I dream instead
These are the voices in my head

Look at the one, he comes!
Yet doesn't shed a tear
Look at the one he comes
Strikes in us all our fear

We are the chosen ones
Who cower into view
We are the chosen ones
The misremembered few

Look at the one, he comes!
Yet doesn't shed a tear
Look at the one he comes
Strikes in us all our fear

We are the chosen ones
Who cower into view
We are the chosen ones
The misremembered few

These are the words I never said
These are the monsters in my bed
These are the dreams I dream instead
These are the voices in my head (Don't look down)

These are the words I never said
These are the monsters in my bed
These are the dreams I dream instead
These are the voices in my head (Don't look down)

These are the words I never said
These are the monsters in my bed
These are the dreams I dream instead
These are the voices in my head (Don't look down)

These are the words I never said
These are the monsters in my bed
These are the dreams I dream instead

Don't look down


3. MISSING TIME

(I thought I could remember)
(The shimmer came and I was there)
(Familiar place and time, I recognize me)
(We cannot make a sound)
(A sound)

I thought I could remember
The shimmer came and I was there
Familiar place and time, I recognize me
We cannot make a sound
A sound

Grabs at me by my roots
Comes at me from below

This dense and darkened air
It suffocates me
Like an angry slumber

I thought you could rеmember
The shimmеr came and I was there
These disembodied saints, they recognize me
We cannot make a sound

Grabs at me by my roots
Comes at me from below

This dense and darkened air
It suffocates me
Like an angry slumber

(But there is no)
(There is no wind throughout heaven)
(But there is no)
(There is no wind throughout heaven)

The dead weight hangs upon us
Hangs upon us shape, and turn
To seize and hold in fits of song, this vigil heart
The dead weight hangs upon us
Hangs upon us shape, and turn
To seize and hold in fits of song, this vigil heart

An increasing hum
Burning like a fever
Burns me like a fever
An infinitude, their dim refrain
An increasing hum
Burning like a fever
Burns me like a fever
An infinitude, their dim refrain

Steps you see me tread and now I’m naked
An epitaph of death has been created
My head is hung in shame and I'm abraded
But suddenly she rises

Steps you see me tread and now I’m naked
An epitaph of death has been created
My head is hung in shame and I'm abraded
But suddenly she rises

So I cry out with hands and face upraised
Look carefully, you'll see the things they take away
Look carefully, you'll see the things they took away
They took away...

So I cry out with hands and face upraised
Look carefully, you'll see the things they take away
Look carefully, you'll see the things they took away
They took away…


4. COMMUNION

I feel I am at one with
I feel I am at peace with you
Your sweetness draws me in
Eclipse of consciousness

Press my eyelids with your kiss
Veiling my sight, veiling my sight
We linger now entwined
Now in your grip
We linger now as vines

Now I am the one
The one who guarded the keys
I am the one
Awake, inflaming your sleep
A figure rising
A figure swimming
Warm and all surrounding

They come from every side
I strain to hear your cries
But I can't see
The single source of them

Alive, it stretches upward
Unleashed, it enters farther
Enter in
(Communion)

Bare arms outstretched around
Quiver for life, quiver for life
These beamy glowing eyes
Draw me back in, draw me back in

Now I am the one
The one who guarded the keys
I am the one
Awake, inflaming your sleep
A figure rising
A figure swimming
Warm and all surrounding

They come from every side
I strain to hear your cries
But I can't see
The single source of them

Alive, it stretches upward
Unleashed, it enters farther
Enter in
(Communion)

I feel I am at one with
I feel I am at peace with you
Your sweetness draws me in
Eclipse of consciousness

6. THEATER OF THE DEAD

She wore a yellow ribbon
As she watched me beg for bread
Their voices raised an octave
In the Theater of the Dead

A land of deepest shade unpierced
By our human thought
The dreary regions of the dead
Where all things are forgot

How then shall I leave my tomb?
With triumph or regret?
A fearful or a joyful doom?
A curse or blessing met?

Soon as from the earth I go
What will become of mе?
Eternal happiness or woe
Must thеn my portion be

(Thick fresh claw marks)
(Tied with ribbon)
(Nailed by barbed wire)
(Now immortal)

Who can appease the doubt that tears upon my anxious breast?
Shall I be with the damned cast out
Or numbered with the rest?
Oh souls who are so cruel to me
Keep your eyes ahead
Watch the fog is dark and thick
In the Theater of the Dead

(Thick fresh claw marks)
(Tied with ribbon)
(Nailed by barbed wire)
(Now immortal)

Who can appease the doubt that tears upon my anxious breast?
Shall I be with the damned cast out
Or numbered with the rest?
Oh souls who are so cruel to me
Keep your eyes ahead
Watch the fog is dark and thick
In the Theater of the

How then shall I leave my tomb?
With triumph or regret?
A fearful or a joyful doom?
A curse or blessing met?

Soon as from the earth I go
What will become of me?
Eternal happiness or woe
Must then my portion be

(Wipe the stain of medicine)
(Gently, swiftly, from my chin)
(Eyes are lusterless and cool)
(Dim lit shadows play the fool)

Who can appease the doubt that tears upon my anxious breast?
Shall I be with the damned cast out
Or numbered with the rest?
Oh souls who are so cruel to me
Keep your eyes ahead
Watch the fog is dark and thick
In the Theater of the Dead

Wipe the stain of medicine
Gently, swiftly, from my chin
Eyes are lusterless and cool
Dim lit shadows play the fool


7. DIMENSIONAL RIFT

In a reducing atmosphere
Treading water, treading deep
In an abyss and here we go again
Oh, but let it stop with me
Severed now, please let it stop with me
(And here we go again)
Oh, but let it stop with me
Severed now, please let it stop with me

There's a saying "oh, seek and ye shall find"
Still you see me there, blind chasing after blind
Down in the valley, we are in a maze
That's conjured up with skill
I will go down to save myself
Keep dragging up that hill

In a reducing atmosphere
Treading water, treading deep
In an abyss and here we go again
Oh, but let it stop with me
Severed now, please let it stop with me
(And here we go again)
Oh, but let it stop with me
Severed now, please let it stop with me

In a solemn mood, I dimly trace the form
Whisper to my mind, be the echo of the storm
Down in the valley we are in a maze
That’s conjured up with skill
I will go down to save myself
Keep dragging up that hill

In a reducing atmosphere
Treading water, treading deep
In an abyss and here we go again
Oh, but let it stop with me
Severed now, please let it stop with me
(And here we go again)
Oh, but let it stop with me
Severed now, please let it stop with me

(There is a place a stream that flows)
(To make our way and emerge once more)

In a reducing atmosphere
Treading water, treading deep
In an abyss and here we go again
Oh, but let it stop with me
Severed now, please let it stop with me
(And here we go again)
Oh, but let it stop with me
Severed now, please let it stop with me


8. ENTITY

The feeling is cool on my skin
The hands turn my shoulders
They turn me around

It follows me close behind
If follows me like breath and footsteps down halls

The cancer grows within her
Infecting the child's mind
The poison courses through her
And seeps in the jealous kind

Run toward me, run
Hurry toward me, run
Run toward me, run
Hurry toward me, run

Stricken smitten and afflicted
Yes, my soul, ’tis he, ’tis he!
Beware, o sinful land, beware
Sorer judgements are at hand

They loved us into dеath
They loved us into death
Thеy loved us into death
They loved us into death
Into death


9. WITHIN

(Instrumental)


10. THE INNER LIGHT

Nothing that lies can touch us here
Like the slain in a bloody fight, now it’s alright
Each step back a steady look
Our lives discharged and parted right, now it’s alright

Pushing through, moving in time
Uphill, quiet, no one drowns
Heading home I'm coming home
Lamenting now, I'm always home

When you my soul forsake
The inner light comes rushing in
The vivid light comes crashing through
The seeds of light, winking out, break

What are all my sufferings here?
Pleasures of future always bright, not spotless white
Give joy or grief, give ease or pain
But take them away let me find my own way back again

Pushing through, moving in time
Uphill, quiet, no one drowns
Heading home I'm coming home
Lamenting now, I'm always home

When you my soul forsake
The inner light comes rushing in
The vivid light comes crashing through
The seeds of light, winking out, break

When you my soul forsake
The inner light comes rushing in
The vivid light comes crashing through
The seeds of light, winking out, break

When you my soul forsake
The inner light comes rushing in
The vivid light comes crashing through
The seeds of light, winking out, break

When you my soul forsake
The inner light comes rushing in
The vivid light comes crashing through
The seeds of light, winking out, break


11. DEEPSTATE

Light after darkness
Gain after loss
Strength after weakness
Crown after cross

Sweet after bitter
Hope after fears
Home after wandering
Praise after tears

Near after distant
Gleam after gloom
Life after sorrow
Life after tomb

After the agony, rapture of bliss
Right was the pathway leading to this

Gather together with me
Gather together with me
Gather together with me

So let this body fail
Droop and let die
And I will quit the veil
New worlds on high
Finding my rest
Only bliss it paints
On my lovers chest
Flail your restraints

Gather together with me
Gather together with me
Gather together with me

You pound my head
A thousand times
My hair wrapped round your hands
So right was the pathway leading to this

All our weight is drawn
We walk among the heads of will, of destiny
My master now
I hope that he will wait for me, wait for me

I am alive!
And I reject your flattery, flattery
My master now
I hope that he will wait for me
Name yourself to me

Wait for me
Wait for me
Wait for me

Our weight is drawn
We walk among the heads of will
My master now
I hope that he will wait for me


12. TRANSFIGURATION

Always the one who burned so bright
My heart, it beats in double time
All along, where are you now?
Get me to the other side

Breath of grief, breath of relief
Cursed bones bruise
My teeth, they grind
The one with the sparkling eyes
She always burned so bright

Look for the waymarks
As you journey on
Look for them passing fast
The great prophetic ones
What will the next great glorious drama be?
Not my homеcoming and not eternity

Hollowed out by a hallowеd cause
Cut my trees down, start anew
This is not a miracle, I am not your prodigal one

I am not the one

Breath of grief, breath of relief
Cursed bones bruise
My teeth, they grind
The one with the sparkling eyes
She always burned so bright

Look for the waymarks
As you journey on
Look for them passing fast
The great prophetic ones
Down in the feet of iron and of clay
Weak and divided soon to now be passed away

Hollowed out by a hallowed cause
Cut my trees down, start anew
This is not a miracle, I am not your prodigal one

I am not the one

The loud wind may have reached the ship
But now the ship moves on
Try to grab and try to catch
By morning, I'll be gone

The loud wind may have reached the ship
But now the ship moves on
Try to grab and try to catch
By morning, I'll be gone

Oh dream maker
You heart breaker
Wherever you're going
I'm not going your way
I'm not going your way
I'm not going your way
I'm not going your way
I'm not going your way

Slip into this raylessness of night and gleam
(Wherever you're going)
(I'm not going your way)
