You've Stolen The Words
08:38
|
|||
|
Unleash the serpents before they break down the walls
There’s a strange sense of wonder in a world that can’t evolve
And I save all my pennies, with my hands down in the salt
Calling for your Mother, you should have stayed at home
Are we safe in these four walls? Never got a ride
Hauled up in the bathroom, no words to resign
And I saved all my pennies to placate every God
Put my faith in tomorrow, don’t stray away from home
And you’ve stolen the words, alright!
And the love is gone, alright!
This world ain’t monochrome boy, when one bite can bring you down
Take your plastic sweetness, your superficial crown
And you save all your pennies for an illuminated love
The truth is still the truth boy, take your toys and run
And you’ve stolen the words, alright!
And the love is gone, alright!
We’re all human, we all trip up. Why do you push aside?
We’re all human, we all trip up. Why do you push aside?
If you are so smart, then just why do you stay?
If you are so kind, why do you act this way?
In this sacred life, we have but one resolve
To love and be loved, when you are gone
If you are so smart, then just why do you stay?
If you are so kind, why do you act this way?
In this sacred life, we have but one resolve
To love and be loved, when you are gone

Devil's Daughter
06:48
|
|||
|
I’ve been taking my time, gotta get it right
Surfing to the source, through the web of time
Waves crushing the hills, it’s hard to ignore
Tyranny on turbo, coming to your door
Oh baby yeah!
Circles in yourself, forever setting fire
Cuts getting deeper, ever shifting lines
Keep taking the pills, they’re hard to ignore
Help the Devil’s daughter, lying on your floor
It’s a rope hanging strong, around the throat, it doesn’t make you wrong
Well I don’t mind which way you go, just hold your tongue until I’m gone
We’ve been bleeding fear, one and one is five
The skin rips dear, this world of mine
You and only your fate, only left and right
You exist on the edge yeah, by an empty sky
It’s a rope hanging strong, around the throat, it doesn’t make you wrong
Well I don’t mind which way you go, just hold your tongue until I’m gone
A love so ferocious, arms that could kill
Take me on the other side of the hill
Give me the patience, bring me some pain
Keep that fire burning, I’m calling your name
I’ve been taking my time, gotta get it right
Surfing to the source, through the web of time
Waves crushing the hills, it’s hard to ignore
Tyranny on turbo, coming to your door
Oh lordy yeah!
The Devil’s daughter, she’s getting closer
The Devil’s daughter, she’s getting closer

Absolute Blue
06:27
|
|||
|
Through the back of beyond, we’ve travelled far through the storm
Molecules dissolving small, a vision true, our minds resolved
Before the madness guides you
How can we trust, once we thought true
A stream of noise, absolute blue
Where lies become born anew
No matter how the words sound cruel
Before the madness guides you, hold on
Before the cancer takes you, move on
And I was sitting on Father’s shoulders
Raising my neck just to get a glimpse
Nothing else existing in that perfect moment
And I’d love to see myself again
Your judgement falls, your conscience clear
Our working poor, silenced by fear
From hilltops green, announce your view
Of hateful greed, to those with few
Before the madness guides you, hold on
Before the cancer takes you, move on
And I was sitting on Father’s shoulders
Raising my neck just to get a glimpse
Nothing else existing in that perfect moment
And I’d love to see myself again
And I was sitting on Father’s shoulders
Raising my neck just to get a glimpse
Nothing else existing in that perfect moment
And I’d love to see myself again
This sceptred veil that holds me
With loving arms just to keep me near
With jealous eyes you haunt me
Because our love is what you fear

Foreigner
10:48
|
|||
|
I could feel force shaking my ribs so sore
Just to hear, to see, to feel you close
Backs against the crowd, a memory so proud, in awe
And now I understand why you keep shining on
In this place
Foreigner, take me back
A son is born
The space between what you can see is Lord
Help us break this curtain between us
We could reach you through the glass
A truth so sadly cold
Pain would be replaced by darkness all
In this place
Foreigner, take me back
A son is born
Foreigner, take me back
A son is born, In this place
Foreigner, take me back
A son is born
And I thank you for those days
For every silly game
For each line traced
And when I think back, it’s always you
And when I stand tall, it’s always you
And now we can’t stem the flow
I’m just a foreigner wherever I go
And when I think back, it’s always you
And when I stand tall, it’s always you
And now we can’t stem the flow
I’m just a foreigner wherever I go
There comes a day of reckoning
This staff I carry, is deafening
You surrounded us with your love
Help us hold on to your sweet glow
To protect us from the deep crush
We sent the warriors away from
The lines on our face
Stories well traced
The pain in my chest
Pull me down, down, down, down
The truth we all face
Gone from this place
The line is replaced
Would there still be a trace?
Would there be a trace?
Would there still be a trace?
Pull me down, down, down, down

Woman Call
05:22
|

|
The night is full of wonder
But you can’t have it all
It’s a sad state of affairs
You give yourself to feelings
Without pain to hold you down
It’s a fait accompli yeah
It’s time for your woman!
Woman call
Take your prayers
And put them to bed, alright!
Take me to the field of reason
Blinding by the lights beyond
It’s a place of evil yeah
Crude self-centred treason
Where you can have it all
It’s a sad state of affairs, alright!
Cos I said Woman!
Woman call
Take your prayers
And put them to bed
Cos I said Woman!
Woman call
Take your prayers
And put them to bed, alright!
In the night, it’s easy
To break down, to your kiss, huh!
Gather your soul
Tied to the wall
Gather your soul
Tied to the wall
Gather your soul
Tied to the wall
Gather your soul
Tied to the wall
Woman!
Woman call
Take your prayers
And put them to bed
Cos I said Woman!
Woman call
Take your prayers
And put them to bed
It’s time for your woman!
Woman call
Take your prayers
And put them to bed
It’s time for your woman!
Woman call
Take your prayers
And put them to bed

King Beyond the Gates
06:35

A shadow rises, then fades to black
The smoke disguises the way
The world falls silent
The truth untold
Dig my palms in to the soil
Yeah
Why is it raining? It’s not your fault
Now it’s pouring
Endless walking to your door
The curtain sweeps us all
Yeah
Why is it raining? It’s not your fault
Now it’s pouring, come on
Pour! Pour!
Pour! Pour!
Reward your failing, with tooth and sword
I think I’m waking up
Yeah
Why is it raining? It’s not your fault
Now it’s pouring. It’s not your fault
Can’t stop it raining. It’s not your fault
Now it’s pouring. It’s not your fault

Show Don't Tell
04:57

If he’s gonna save ya, you wanna keep him around
If she’s gonna sacrifice herself, she’s sound as a pound
But if he’s just a white knight, with words of sweetness oh
Chances are he’s faking, hiding something from you, oh
Cos being good feels good enough to me
Being blind is where I wanna be
Don’t be the guy who’s saying “look at me”
Do I have to scream and yell?
Show don’t tell!
Don’t tell me how to be good, I don’t need lessons from you
The shiny words from your mouth don’t synchronise with your truth, oh
Cos if you need a high five, for not being a douche
You made it about yourself again, so tell that fool to vamoose! Oh!
Cos being good feels good enough to me
Being blind is where I wanna be
Don’t be the guy who’s saying “look at me”
Do I have to scream and yell?
Show don’t tell!
I’m not gonna waste my time
Talking to a waste of time
If you have to explain your holiness baby
You ain’t going near my loving kind
Cos that’s not kind
Show don’t tell!
Show don’t tell!
Show don’t tell!
Every time you seek love, it’s one step closer to hell
Cos checking on your neighbour, is a reward in itself oh!
Cos no one likes a white knight, who only thinks of himself
Listen to your heart my friend, it’s saying show don’t tell
Cos being good feels good enough to me
Being blind is where I wanna be
Don’t be the guy who’s saying “look at me”
Do I have to scream and yell?
Show don’t tell!

Avon & Avalon, Pt. 1
08:51

Walk on to these shores
Bring forth the blood of the son
What once sitting fair
The way to Avalon
Along this white horse
Over Mendip strong
Become from a boy
Avon and Avalon
And Avalon!
With the sweat of an infant mighty born
Become a man on this sacred soil
With the sweat of an infant mighty born
Become a man on this sacred soil
With the sweat of an infant mighty born
Become a man on this sacred soil
With the sweat of an infant mighty born
Become a man on this sacred soil
Avon and Avalon
Avon and Avalon

Over vast oceans of time
I have come to deliver the word of life
Where I plant my staff, shall a truth blossom wide
Its leaves the essence
A revelation of time
For I carried him on my back
Until we saw the sun rise over Avalon
Feet blistered and bloodied
Clothes tattered and torn
For then he was just a boy
It’s all circles all
Divide in to dust (can’t do this alone)
And I’m frozen cold
An hourglass to hold (can’t do this alone)
Over vast oceans of time
I have come to deliver the word of life
Where I plant my staff, shall a truth blossom wide
Its leaves the essence
A revelation of time
The sun will rise again
The blood, the sweat, the sin
The sun will rise again
The blood, the sweat, the sin

Dead Star

I love the anti-fascist theme of this album. It creates a delightful epic space opera in my mind. Excellent storytelling. I'm a big fan of the slightly off/fuzzy distortion on the guitar every once in a while. Also, this is hands down one of the best album covers in my collection.
