1.The Alien Song(For Those Who Listen)
I see a shining....
A sweeping from the clouds
A glimmer of hope
Is coming to feel our light
Oh look it's flashing
This life among the stars
Reaching out to know us
To feel our might
Oh... this restless hope in you
Please... try and help us
Stand on our own
As we stopped on this pavement
And saw your dying mind
Paper, for which you're killing brothers life
Help you, we cannot trust you
We cannot understand
Your people's proud destruction
Of their own land
Oh... we're flying on from you
We... will not stay to see your fate
Watch them fly away
Watch them fly away
See the lines across the sky
Watch them fly... away
2.Gentleman Who Fell
Reaching over
Life to life
Feeling sugared skin
My poor baby
Kissed him so
To ashamed to lift his chin
A voice is speaking
He's the prophet
Blinded by the light
A heart is breaking
I can hear it
Dropped when gone beyond my sight
Hey there, mr. talk too much
What's in store for us now?
I don't know how to speak to you
I don't know how to trust you
I don't kow how to live for you
I don't know how to love you
The gentleman who fell before the court
I feel your closeness
Like a shotgun
A chill within my soul
I touch your finger
Know your darkness
Your passion takes its' toll
Can't see that this talk is cheap
Let the suffering go
Repeat first chorus
Repeat first b section
Repeat chorus
3.It's Your Life
We had this dream
Locked behind these wicked thoughts
You and i
We felt pain
Passed from him, to me, to you
Reaching out
Into the empty space
We lost our place
It's your life
It's your soul
It's everything
You give to him
It's my heart
In your hands
Keep it or just let it fall
Another stone
Placed in my wall
I brush away
The flaming hair across your cheek
To see these eyes
That lit my life
Now they're cold and dark and gone
With your smile
I'll cross this hopeless line
But don't waste time
Repeat chorus
It's your life
It's your mind
Choices that you make my love
It's my heart in your hands
Keep it or just let it fall
Another stone placed in my wall
Can't we see above
This wall?
4.Reaching From Nowhere
How can i be telling you my thoughts my love
When even i don't know what i'm thinking
How can i explain the way your eyes
Burn into my mind, my love
For when you talk to me
I'm blind 'cause you set me free
And you hold me and your fingers
Touching me
What if we decide to break these walls?
This from me, the builder
Can we give this love a fair chance?
And only cease when it fades
And when i see your face
Locked in my memory
And you hold me
And i'm giving up to you
Reaching from nowhere
Feeling for your hands
Screaming out your name
Nearing towards you
Reaching from nowhere
Feeling for your hands
Screaming out your name
Nearing towards you
Nearing towards you
Reaching from nowhere
Feeling for your hands
Screaming out your name
Nearing towards you
Nearing towards you
5.Charlie
Now, be free
The sky must have fallen
When i couldn't see
Your life's weak strain
I take a step back
And you've fallen again
But if you'd listened
A little closer
Reaching over
This cold shoulder
Oh charlie, a boy and his toys
I see you lying stiff and cold
Spread out upon the bedroom floor
Kiss me darling with those
Pale lips once more
Hands could never comfort you
Not so well as steel could do
Freak on in
Did you think ths time
You would finally win
A trip of life
Repeat b section
Repeat chorus
Reeling spinning out of lies
Daisy vision in your eyes
Boat is sinking someone cries
You have left me to surmise
Your surprise
6.Ruby Lane
Welcome down to ruby lane
Take your pick, sir
We're all the same
The sky is my one direction
The earth is my bed
Welcome down to ruby lane
Save your soul, man
For life's a game
Receive me as a dancing monkey
And throw me a dime
And if you see my brother
You'll know 'cause he's wearing no shoes
Won't you be so good, man
As to throw him some food
You come back now and share your peace
We'll still be here
'til time's release
I'm here with my one companion
The road beneath my feet
And if you see my brother
You'll know 'cause he's wearing no shoes
Won't you be so good, man
As to throw him some food
Welcome down to ruby lane
Take your pick, sir
We're all the same
I'm here with my one companion
The road beneath my feet
I'm here with my one companion
The road beneath my feet
7.Bang Your Head
Hey little devil that dwells inside
This angels body, this angel's mind
He said 'all i need is jesus to fly'
Take a little peak through that head of hair
I now somewhere there are eyes in there
Trying to hide a heart that's shining, so bright
They said 'what makes you different, from us?'
We're gonna band your head, down
I've got a dream that's growing inside me
I'm ready to burst and set it free
I know god waits in the city, of angels
Now i've been building a wall these many years
I feel safe inside hiding all my fears
Don't hold your breath
If you're trying to touch me
They said 'don't believe in yourself
We're gonna band your head, down
We're gonna band your head
Band your head down'
We are aging
Soon to pass away
So cruel to never know, never know
Never finish what was started.
My whole life's been really strange
I've been running in circles
Trying to make a change
I transcend myself with billy i'm home
8.Clock
I'm locked in a box
With a window and a clock
Sometimes i can't sleep
I watch the second hand feeding
Time is ticking, ticking
And the flowers are dripping, dripping
I am awake and i cannot sleep
All hail to the madman
Great murderer, great aryan
Take all that you need
Take my life, my song, my breed
Fires are burning, burning
My people are yearning, yearning
I'm locked away to defy and die
Instrumental
I'm locked in a box
With a window and a clock
Sometimes i can't sleep
I watch the second hand feeding
Time is getting colder
And i'm getting older, older
Where is the face that i knew before
I am awake and i cannot sleep
9.Don't Fade Away
Hello sunshine
Please don't fade away
See our genius
Warp what we created
No, don't fade away
Stepping over
Shadows from your smile
Losing myself
In these waves of light
No, don't fade away, no, don't fade away
See them washing
Hearts with teardrops
Bless these simple souls
Baby soldiers
Marching onward
Watch their hopeless eyes
No, don't fade away, no, don't fade away
Oh my, am i high
Is that a glow up in the sky
Oh my, am i high
Is that a glow up in the sky
Whitewashed liars
Stupid teachers
Blinded are these broken dreamers
Little rulers
Who will teach them time ... time
No, don't fade away, no, don't fade away
No, don't fade away
Oh my, am i high
Is that a glow up in the sky
Oh my, am i high
Is that a glow up in the sky
10.You Did It All Before
No i haven't seen the flowers yet
From the broken seeds i'd planted
But the ground is still too red
From the wickedness you did
Could you break my heart?
It's so easy you know
You did it all before
You know, you did it all before
Can you feel it?
Can you fell this moment?
If you could be me
The said would be left unsaid
Just refuse my heart
Don't abuse my heart
You did it all before
You know, you did it all before
Your pocket of schemes
Has split at the seams
I don't need to argue anymore
You're left exposed
Wearing yesterday's clothes
Now you've undone the
Stitches we've sewn
Just refuse my heart
Don't abuse my heart
You did it all before
You know, you did it all before
Your pocket of schemes
Has split at the seams
I don't need to argue anymore
You're left exposed
Wearing yesterday's clothes
Now you've undone the
Stitches we've sewn
11.In A Glade
(ukrainian lyrics - courtesy of orysia t.)
Tam v haiu, pry dunaiu, solovi shchebeche (2)
Vin svoiu ptashynochku do hnizdechka klyche.
Tam v haiu, pry dunaiu, tam muzyka hraie (2)
Bas hude, skrypka plache, molodets' huliaie.
Tam v haiu, pry dunaiu, khodzhu samotoiu (2)
I plachu, i rydaiu myla/mylyi za toboiu.
(english translation - courtesy of richard handal)
In the forest near the danube river,
There is a nightingale singing,
He sings to gather everyone from his family
In the forest near the danube river,
There is a bass vibrating and a fiddle crying,
I think of a place where my lovely one is strolling now
In the forest near the danube river,
I am sick with my loneliness,
Crying, i want to fly like a bird,
To where my lovely one is now.
