Endless Prelude

Come now, we’ll make it somehow
To hell with the sundown and this refuge of lies
Follow me in joyful sorrow
Underneath the swallow of unending sky
For we are to reap and we are to sow
Both heavenly bliss and cold, deathly woe
Onward, just as the songbird
In autumn wanders, so we’ll carry on
Riding towards the sweet strains of sirens
Straight to the horizon and to what lies beyond
For we are to reap and we are to sow
Both heavenly bliss and cold, deathly woe
Yeah, we are to reap and we are to sow
Both heavenly bliss and cold, deathly woe

Fear Not, My Darling
04:22

Can you feel the tender gaze
From these honed and hungry eyes,
Soft as the press of panted breath
On the back of your neck?
Captive to your secret gravity,
In the deluge drowned
And as your shadow, gallantly,
I’m to you ever bound
Where you go, I’ll follow
For you are my north star
Can you hear my moon-drunk voice
As I whisper your name to the night,
Madly through the lonely hours
Till the day dawns anew?
Like a sleepless priest to prayer,
Ceaseless, I recite
Once for each hour of each day since
I first laid eyes on you
Where you go, I’ll follow
For you are my north star
Though this world’s a cruel, cruel place
Where the wicked covet and cull,
Fear not, my darling ‘cause I’m watching over you
Darling, it’s true, I’m always watching over you
It’s true, it’s true, I’m always watching over you
Like it or not
Where you go, I’ll follow
For you are my north star
Where you go, I’ll follow
For I’m yours forevermore

Mad Scene

Weep no more for me, my love
Don’t quell that fire in your eyes
With tears sweetly surrendered
For I am with you still
Leave no roses where I lie
Nor speak your elegies
Just sing to me your thunder
For I am with you still
I’m the air you breathe, the earth you tread
The voice that seethes inside your head
I’m the force that fells each falling star
I’m the blood that fuels your cauldron heart
Hold on tight to enmity
As were an infant child
Or softly-burning ember
For I am with you
I’m the air you breathe, the earth you tread
The voice that seethes inside your head
I’m the force that fells each falling star
I’m the blood that fuels your cauldron heart

Coming Up Again
04:31
|
|||
The air is full of razors,
The ashes rain down
The night is playing Judas
In heartspun bands bound
I’ve paid sober witness
To this betrayal spattered thing
The hash of humanity
Hums along to the strings
So softly, the shadows seize
So softly, I try to breathe
So softly, the shadows weep
But I’ll be coming up again
I’ll be coming up again
I’m floating along
Torment’s tide
I’ve been leafing through the coffins
Of my decayed pride
I’m tired, but I’m wired
The whole of my soul threadbare
I don’t know what I know
And I don’t care
I’m still on that ball-and-chain
My brain’s circling the drain
But I’ll be coming up again
I’ll be coming up again
Lord, I’ll be coming up again
I’m tired and I’m wired, wired and I’m tired
My body, mind, spirit, heart is on fire
My soul stretched taut as the nerves of a wire
My body, mind, spirit, heart is on fire
My body, mind, spirit, heart is on fire, it’s on fire
And I’ve shed these scalding tears
Down the days, through the years
I’ve bled all my burning tears
But I’m coming up again
Yeah, I’m coming up again
Oh I’m coming up again
Now I’m coming up again

Loaded Gun
04:08
|

Past midnight the air’s dead, you’re feeling
Your heart racing, ugly thoughts come a-stealing
Suddenly that girl in the corner
Hangs her head and cries
You trace the tears down her porcelain face
You lean in close as you embrace
With ice-dry lips…
O, you swear she is the one
I say, beware my son
That one is a loaded gun
She’ll laugh at all of the world’s cruel jokes
She’ll let you explore her valleys and slopes
She satisfies your wildest desires
She sets your timid world on fire
But you’ll meet darkest hours, scorching flames
If you deny or dare bring her shame
Beware my son…
O, you swear she is the one
Your setting sun
That one is loaded gun
And what did I tell you?
You’ve opened the gates of Hell
And the sound and the fury
Will come from the loaded gun
Brother, what have you done?
Do you feel the burn as you crash?
I daresay you’ve met your match
That one is a loaded gun

Eyes Wide Shut
02:09
|

All the tired cliches you’ve heard before
Mounted like bracken upon the shore
The dire cliches I’ve heard before
For some odd reason I think we need them once more
Our eyes are wild, wide, wired
Our ornamental egos have been stripped away
Our eyes are wide, wide shut
To our garish, glamorous, desperate dreams
The sufi surreal, this atavistic feel
Marinates and permeates the perfumed air
The foul discord of our words
The ennui, it’s bittersweet honey
Our lips are tight shut
We’ve the indelible stamp of the truly depraved and deranged
With eyes wide shut
We half-apologize and then we do it all again
Saw my skull from my shoulders,
While my wilting heart molders
I’m stalled at the motor, send me rumbling forward
Now I’ve never had the measure
To suffer such pain and such pleasure
Saw my skull from my shoulders,
While my wilting heart molders
I’m stalled at the motor, send me rumbling forward
Now I’ve never had the measure
To suffer such pain and such pleasure
