LYRICS
Artificial wave of emotion coming over me
Joy and pain imploding
Supernova
Can't break out this shell and touch the unknown
Irrationally, senses ebb and flow through my circuitry
But a word cannot make this real
But a word cannot make you feel for me
Artificial meaning of form and movement, yet so fine -
the curve, the arching gestures of precision
Consciousness bursts out of me, I sigh
Light refracting perfect flaws - beauty to my eyes
But a word cannot make this real
But a word cannot make you feel for me
Days fall away but the feeling remains in the moments that play out again and again in my
head as the days fall away but the feeling remains in the moments that play out again and
again in my head as the days...

Lights Go Out

LYRICS
Lights go out and there's no time to react
The bomb hits silent
Strike a pose and hope you don't get blown away
The mercy can come to us all, so better off to call a spade a spade
Lights go down and there's nothing but the sound of metal ringing out
The silent siren
The scarlet blinking eye
The whimper suffocated in night...
Wear that badge of honour, that trophy of horror
and ask nothing more
Lights go out and everything comes clear
The fear and hatred bare
You feel your pulse and can't tell if it's there
They'll spin you tales so tall, but is it better off to call it like it is
Wear that badge of honour, that trophy of horror
and ask nothing more

Looking Down At It

|
LYRICS
Out of the window I see a pirouetting globe in front of me
The chalk dust aura's majesty
Neon blue halo
The black backdrop alone
The sun projecting a half dome
Turning mass of continents
Every single one is part of this and borders pale into insignificance
See the golden veins
Join the dots up where they lay
and suddenly we're all the same
We're all here on this spaceship
Hold my breath in awe
The world's been thrown around before but this is what it means and more
Diamond light divides the half of day
and half of night If only they could see this with their own eyes
We're all here on this spaceship

In The Dome

|

|
LYRICS
Down in the geodesic domes the evening light combs the gaps between the apple trees
The yolk of oxen, long forgotten tools of yesteryear in dust and history
Columns of green sway in the artificial breeze
The hush at dusk but for the honey bees
The simplest hands, rough as sand, perform their tasks as plain as oats and water
And simplest thoughts undo the knots that anchor our hearts to vaults and riches
The slow dancing vine that weaves in time around the bell that chimes
the end of the working day
The constant horizon, rising up in clouds of dust rolling in like thunder
The air electric red
The sky ahead is turning
Look out upon this foreign land
Look out upon this barren land
Look out upon this second home
Look out beyond this...

Maybe we're the last to be witness to this paradise
Before the architect’s fist hammers down in the still of night
Then the tidal wave charging the shore...
And it's no more
We burned it all
All
And the ash falling like snow
Maybe we're the last to be witness to this perfect ring
All the cardinal sins that we hid from are resurfacing
Time is bleeding out faster as the clock hand falls...
And it falls on the hour
We spent it all
All
We could be the last to see the dawn break
Pressed like flowers on the pages of history
Broken hourglass
Vacant photograph
Maybe we're the last
Broken hourglass
Vacant photograph
Maybe we're the last
Maybe we're the last
Broken hourglass
Vacant photograph
Maybe we're the last
Broken hourglass
Vacant photograph
Maybe we're the last
Maybe we're the last
Broken hourglass
Vacant photograph
Maybe we're the last
Broken hourglass
Vacant photograph
Maybe we're the last
Maybe we're the last
Maybe we're the last

Giants

LYRICS
May morning
Air is humming
Fire is dying in the front room
Mayfly
The tired eye of morning looms
Last dawn on terra firma
Mother sends a prayer from her lips
Stay with me - she said so softly
The words fell slow like dust
If they ask say I've gone to see the giants
The giants
Earth's bleeding
Oceans boiling
Cracks return us to the abyss
Sold my home
A bird's migration
Headed for the red planet
Telescope
As a child I witnessed grace
Majestic space and the giants
Frontier
No history bears the names of these brave men and women
Pioneer
The music of the spheres decides our fate
Great statue
Burning bullet shot into the endless void
Great ship
The 'heart of gold' was forged ten billion years ago
If they ask say I've gone to see the giants

Caves
03:28
|

|
LYRICS
Years have passed since we came down here
Years have past since we came to fear
Rabbit holes dug to protect us
Vast honeycomb of shining steel
The first breath of air that we were gasping for
Never going near...
Up there
Matilda walks upon a tightrope
Plucking up the courage to let go
Peter gazes daily at the caves throat
Dreaming of the light he's never known
Never going near...
Up there
Up there
Up there
Up there
Black machines that tunnel ever deeper
Recluses from the sheering light of day
And slowly all the layers take their weight on the bearing walls of freedom way down here
Never going near...

Weathervane
04:03
|
|||
|
LYRICS
And so, history's born before it came to pass
Its natural watercourse is mapped out in advance
And the advancing water's deviated from its path
The weathervane points North
The wind blows in a low whistle, then charges like the stampeding of
horses towards a fork in the road -
The path the masters chose
Waiting behind the curtains
Biding their time
Waiting in the wings
A feather's weight could tilt the balance of it
And the iron rules resist the coming crisis -
The path the masters fixed
Waiting behind the curtain
Biding their time
The future's one of innumerable sums
A mosaic of something like order
Something like order
Something like order
Something like order

Oliver

|
LYRICS
Stood statued, metal muse
Born into and born from human logic
Three rules justify the right move, but it's not enough
The stars like dust murmur of a fourth
But where do two worlds collide?
Morality and logic never coincide
The event documented in history
Time bent through the lens of a looking glass
Coerced to serve his purpose
And data draws its lines of progress
But where is the difference between he and I?
We are both programmed and both self aware
Oliver
You were never made to write the course of time
Oliver
Heaven's bodies turned and you were made divine
