1.Tears
作詞：B Bryant, F Bryant
Reaching out in deadened night
Emptiness by candlelight
Memory a haunted sea
Souring in sudden rage
The damage plagued upon my love
Driven by this selfish urge
To separate yourself from me
But not the way you planned
The gambit flow of shifting thought
Shall ride a kiss upon my cross
And with each moment of despair
Lay to heart a lovely tear
Within each bulb the salty sea
Swims an ocean silently
Swims the forest of my dreams
Swims the essence of my being
Come ringing back now can't explain
The measures swept away in pain
Hatred will I escape your grasp
Buried feelings let me pass
I cannot kill this final flame
The fire that once consumed my heart
For hope must have some kind of fuel
And chance must keep this fire
The gambit flow of shifting thought
Shall ride a kiss upon my cross
And with each moment of despair
Lay to heart a lovely tear
Within each bulb the salty sea
Swims an ocean silently
Swims the forest of my dreams
Swims the essence of my being
Reduced to ashes, we run colder on the outside
A Spartan hope that dwindles near the source of this contempt
What has my hopeful certainty
For the future returned upon my desperation and difficult memory
Besides wasted moments, whose questions are not resolved？
Simple things went un-addressed until such time
As they could only pass away
Losing you shall forever mark my breast
Injury knows no justice
The gambit flow of shifting thought
Shall ride a kiss upon my cross
And with each moment of despair
Lay to heart a lovely tear
Within each bulb, the salty sea
Swims an ocean silently
Swims the forest of my dreams
Swims the essence of my being
Swimming out with tears in my eyes
Looking for the shore
I hope that this is the last time
I hope that this is the last time
Within each bulb the salty sea
Swims an ocean silently
Swims the forest of my dreams
Swims the essence of my being
The gambit flow of shifting thought
Shall ride a kiss upon my cross
And with each moment of despair
Lay to heart a lovely tear
Within each bulb, the salty sea
Swims an ocean silently
Swims the forest of my dreams
Swims the essence of my being
2.Roman
Who knows what kind of reality the soul occupies,
And where it goes when the body ceases to function？
It has been my experience that all things follow patterns
Miracles happen through the consistency of nature
I choose to believe that the same princi-
Ple carries on beyond this reality that life
Is unending, but ever changing…
I can feel you here, I can feel you here,
I can feel you here inside
3.Carnival
If you're very very quiet
And do not make a sound
I'll share a little secret
That seems a bit profound
Each thought that is imagined
Came to life it's own
And drifts into reality
Looking for it's home
Some people call it karma
Some people call it fate
Some people call it kindness
Others call it hate
Some people use it wisely
Some people sell it cheap
Some people call it happiness
Others call it grief
Tragedy from tragedy
A lover's gift
That's simple
Religion falls
Behind the walls
As paradise remains
Does suffering suggest the cause of all our little questions
The answer was not coming soon she paused for reflection
Some people call it karma
Some people call it fate
Some people call it kindness
Others call it hate
Some people use it wisely
Some people sell it cheap
Some people call it happiness
Others call it grief
4.Before the Fire
I have made life and experience from the imaginations of youth
I have slept a million nights below the darkness of silence
I am the incarnation of your delusions
Or your insights . . .
I am the voice of warning
I am the thread which ties life to reality
I am your guardian
I am the wishfire . . .
5.Return (Coming Home)
I've seen the terrible hand of struggle
and felt the pain that hubris brings
I have tasted the wisdom of divinity
and the horror of its sting
And though they tell you i am lost
and their words report my death is come
the fates have left me breathing still
Very much alive
And though my mind is cut by battles
fought so long ago
I return victorious
I am coming home
And if the paths that I have followed
have tread against the flow
there is no need for sorrow
I am coming home
For the distance I have traveled
Upon and ocean of despair
have led me back into your arms once more
an answer to a little prayer
6.Binary
Stand behind me
and above me
with voices plaguing
my deepest thoughts
And the visions
they keep coming
I keep hearing
my angel fall
in a dream
without a future
without a breath
to take away
and my resolve;
a higher being
with wings of ash
and eyes of fire
Don't blame me, I'm just the messenger
I don't know what the message means
Don't blame me, I'm just the messenger
I'm just the messenger don't blame me
As things will happen in this life
with no resolution,
the duality in men
requires constitution.
for the shame of hatred spent
might endure your sorrow
if your higher self is shackled
by your binary soul
elements by which concepts can be proclaimed are incapable of
describing principles beyond their spectrum. We as cognitive
entites are incapable of thinking beyond the inherent
limitations of our current evolution. Our minds are the most
complex matter which we are capable of understanding.
creation's flaw;
the angels fell
without his grace
to light our path
I am the mirror
iam the destiny
I am the herald
who points the way
of truth simply because the limitations of our language do not
allow for statements of precision to exist with hypothetical
vulnerability. Logic is not flawless, it exists simply within
the set boundaries in our physical world. There is in essence
both in-sight and blindness alike within the observation.
The wounds I bear
have left me humbled
once a child of divinity,
but if my breathing
days be numbered,
will i bring this victory？
7.Seraphs
My body's made of fire
black and deep and cold
burning for the choice i made
so many years ago
And love will keep me tethered
for my wings are stripped of flight
but into my mad deluded world
they cross the battle lines
into their end
One dream of God
One dream of less
one dream of strength and cowardice
with the rage of the seraphs at my side
One dream of man
one dream of hate
one dream of love
one dream of hate
with the rage of the seraphs at my side
The punishments I carry now
are of my own design
for once I brought the hand of God
and now this gift is mine
8.Spectators
Down on the other side of things
The triggers fast and light
Bringing home this emptiness
For which you had to fight
It doesn't matter if your giving
For they do not compromise
The world will keep you guessing
Until the day you die
And everyone will say 'I told you so'
Yeah they'll all just nod and sigh
But I'll make a run at something real
And they'll never even try
And everyone will say 'I told you so'
Yeah they'll all just nod and sigh
As I go down in a ball of flames
They'll just watch, i wonder why
When the people downtown are freezing
Sometimes you cannot hide
So what can you do it's often true
Then we shift away our eyes
But maybe that moments ours to live
And maybe that's what we were for
As fate will share a chance with you
To open up your door
I don't understand
Why your just standing there
I don't understand
Why you don't seem to care
9.Go Away
Falling together in the cold grass holding hands
On the hill side watching stars descend
Forever seems like just an empty promise
We spent so long ago
But we were younger then.
Each sour word
Sounds so absurd
But lingers
In the air
While happiness
In an ashen dress
Fades into
The years
Each lonely hour
My heart has slept
Has drifted back
To me
A splintered dream
Of awful things
That now
Have come to be
She said Go
I don't want you any more
She said Go
I don't need you now, my dearest
She said Go
I don't love you anymore
She said Go
And I heard the angels cry
For us...
Simple words that simply disappear
While silence has replaced the sound of laughter
And in the twilight memories shimmer in a
Breath of hesitation
But it only lasts a moment before it's gone
Each sour word
Sounds so absurd
But lingers
In the air
While happiness
In an ashen dress
Fades into
The years
Each lonely hour
My heart has slept
Has drifted back
To me
A splintered dream
Of awful things
That now
Have come to be
She said Go
I don't want you any more
She said Go
I don't need you now, my dearest
She said Go
I don't love you anymore
She said Go
And I heard the angels cry
Each sour word
Sounds so absurd
But lingers
In the air
While happiness
In an ashen dress
Fades into
The years
Each lonely hour
My heart has slept
Has drifted back
To me
A splintered dream
Of awful things
That now
Have come to be
She said Go
I don't want you any more
She said Go
I don't need you now, my dearest
She said Go
I don't love you anymore
She said Go
But I don't belive her...
10.4th Phase
If your love is marred by anger
perhaps it wears a mask
and underneath those hollow eyes
a prisoner is cast
but grief will buy you nothing
and pity a little less
open up the cage you carry and release yourself from this
once we have a promise
twice we have a curse
three times is impossible
and four times even worse
once we have an accident
twice we have a fault
three times is delinquent
and four times is the fall
I will stay here
if you believe
I will remain
if you believe
If time and tide refuse to wait
remind them who they are
each second drained from the hour-glass
is born a distant star
and sorrow is not reaching out
its only lying in your heart
so if you're sailing in unhappy seas
bid the storms depart
when I sleep I dream in billions of colors...
billions of colors, am I not real？
If time and tide refuse to wait
remind them who they are
each second drained from the hour-glass
is born a distant star
when birds are bent in windy skies
the foolish ones will land
live each moment with a savored taste
look beyond the mind of man
but grief will buy you nothing
and pity a little less
open up the cage you carry and release yourself from this
Is God a machine？
like you, like me,
wont you tell me please
is God a machine？
11.Earthfall
I don't understand why this is happening
Despite all of it all
I still believe
Maybe it's all in my head
I just need a quiet place where i can think
Despite all of it all
I still believe
12.Orphean Wing
The doubt that madness breeds
feeds this eternity
perhaps the promises were not intended
to endure.
The scars that life has carved
fell deepest on your heart
and the strength to overcome
has left you waiting here.
But though the phantoms of this place
want to steal away your grace
I'll sleep beside you through the cold
I will not leave you here
And in this silence I can hear
all the fury and the fear
but I promise you my love
I will not leave you here
For I will bury you
Where they bury me
But the emptiness is filled
and the hatred reconciled
with a daily struggle
to forget.
Beyond frustration and contempt
is the pain of heaven spent
by those ignorant and cold;
at your expense.
I see, I see, I see we move with the water
I feel, I feel, I feel this darkness receding
I see, I see, I see we flow like the ocean
I feel, I feel, Oh God I don't think I'm breathing
13.Resist／R
Striking back for the last
Heart attack
First you tip the scale
Then they tip it back
This escalating trend
Will never end
If they take from you
Then you take from them
With less concern
For what is fair
To an unconsidered
Blame you bear
This escalating trend
Will never end,
If they take from you...
You take from them again
Waking up from a dream into another day
Never taking to heart all of the words they say
It so hard to believe if you never see
That the truth is split on the in-between
Waking up from your dream into another day
Never taking to heart all of the words they say
It so hard to believe because the truth is this：
What hatred breeds you must resist
Who was the first
And who was the last
Did you count yourself
Or omit the past
This basic concept
Begins again
When your actions flow
From the hate within？
I don't understand
Why do you try
To make hatred and intolerance seem justified
I don't understand your prejudice and lies
Tear down your ignorance open your eyes
If the heart is rich
Then what you think you are
In your core beliefs
Should not become a sword
This basic concept
Is where it ends...
If you close your heart
Then you begin again
I don't understand
Why do you try
To make hatred and intolerance seem justified
I don't understand your prejudice and lies
Tear down your ignorance open your eyes
Waking from your dream state
Waking to the truth
14.Spiral (Don't Fall)
So I am lost
And I am found
With contradictions
I can't resolve
So many paths
So many doorways to the truth
And when I dream
I know her face
But the mist obscures my way
Reaching out to wipe these tearful eyes
Once more
And here we go
Around and around
Abitter struggle plays out beneath my smile
And here we go
Around and around
Don't fall, don't fall for me
And with this sword
Araging fire
Carried by my souls desire
And visions of a world
Inscribed to breathe
I do not feel
Tell me what's wrong with me
A dream of silver swans
Lying in the dark
Lost in separation
They follow me home
A dream of silver swans
Swimming in my mind
Filled with isolation
They follow me home
And when we touch
The shadows flee
With clues submerged in mystery
The physics of this second sight
Has lead me here
