Fight for Your Love 03:55
lyrics
buy track
I know the times I've let you down When it seemed I didn't care I haven't always been around when you needed me there The times you wanted to give up, I couldn't blame you The times you wanted to walk out, I couldn't tame you But I will fight for your love, if you want me But I will fight for your love, if you want me to It's hard for me to admit my wrongs, you know it's just my selfish pride It's hard for me to understand You wonder if I've tried The times you wanted to walk out, I couldn't tame you The times you wanted to blow up and I'd enflame you Our love has had its share of abuses Here we go, another angry night You don't want to hear more of my excuses You just want me to shut up and fight

Whispers in the Dark 04:58
lyrics
buy track
Swallowed by the darkness Drowning in your eyes No life left at all Total disconnection, but this is no surprise How dimly we all see Like looking through a glass The truth is seldom clear Driven by avoidance of the things we fear Mirrors betray the image Eyes betray the soul Dreams betray the darkness we're burning to control Truth betrays the anger It's tearing us apart Hope betrays the silence like whispers in the dark No principle left untarnished No lie left untold Though the truth can set you free I tried the truth once - it didn't work for me Raise your voice in anger Raise your barriers Raise your fist in rage Like the fly caught in the web, the rat within the cage And the wind blows on Rolling on the tide Ever-shifting sands And so must all things change Despite the best-laid plans Still the search goes on Not sure anymore Just where we lost our way Will we find our Eden And open up the door?

Mark of Man 05:13
lyrics
buy track
Man of passion, man of home Man of substance, man alone One in a million A tower, a lifetime A man of insight, a man self-assured He’s making waves, he’s A mover, a shaker A man of passion, a man of his word Man of motion, man of time Man of mystery leaves footprints behind Man of spirit, man of grace Man of power changed the world’s face Outside the box He’s a genius, an outcast A man of science, a man of art The prime mover, he’s Pushing us further A man of mind and a man of heart

Shadows 04:15
lyrics
buy track
In this cavern of dreams This prison hold of stone I am haunted by the memories of a world I have known Reaching out for connection I clutch the empty air In all the realm of time and space I'm certain I'm alone Focused, facing dead ahead with blinders on my eyes The world is just a memory in the echoes of their cries No sense of depth perception No sense of time and motion A reflection of a reality A lost horizon on the ocean The echoes of their calls Ring out from the hallowed halls eternally They are all the world to me Caught up in the pursuit of immortality When the dreams are all abandoned for hard reality Focused, facing dead ahead with blinders on our eyes The world is just a memory in the echoes of our cries Escape the shadows if you dare Brave the world and look up at the sky and the reflections on the water from the starlight A supernova casts its glare The spangled heaven’s silver siren call Holds the children of the universe in thrall

Dividing Line 05:25
lyrics
buy track
Look out across the ocean Look out across the sea Look out across the distance Wonder what became of me Boundless determination Reckless naivety Youthful anticipation Life's a wondrous mystery Look out across this barren landscape this desert view Look out across the distance Wonder why I can't reach you Reckless communication Helpless hypocrisy Ruthless determination Ever seeking mastery How do we define humanity? How do we define depravity? How thin is the line between conflict and synergy, comfort and suffering? How do we define the dividing line? How do we define morality? How do we define insanity? How thin is the line between faith and realty, freedom and anarchy? How do we define the dividing line? A world full of woe, how can one know where to stand? A world full of fear, the enemy draws near the gates A world full of hope light must prevail in the end A world full of dreams but dreams often flee with the waking Looking back across a lifetime Looking back across the span Looking back at the person I once was Looking back at the journey I began

Wanderlust 06:30
lyrics
buy track
The night surrenders to the slivers of the soon-ascending sun Past the horizon, songs of sirens pull me willingly along Mountains to the south are shrouded in the misty ghosts of dawn Compelling me to leave the comforts of the known and carry on One restless spirit One step closer, near it One can’t help but hear it… even fear it She beckons me, I hear her song And walk the road, forever long Just around the corner, reaching out my hands to touch The wind, her fingers in my hair I’m only steps away from where She’ll quench the thirst I’ve come to trust Wanderlust The day defers undaunted to the deepening dark of dusk Yet I keep moving – there’s a whisper in the wind that says I must Take in the air, I feel the ice fill up my lungs and chill my bones One day I’ll have her to myself – ‘till then I’ll haunt this lonely road

Distrurbing the Universe 08:11
lyrics
buy track
Let us go then, let us run Shadows fleeing from the sun Blindly guided as we go Searching for the truths we ought to know Puppets, writhing on a pin bred to kill, but never win Judgment stares us in the face Apocalyptic instincts of our race Do we dare to break the silence-- find a way to lift the spell? Are we ready for the violence of a quick descent to hell? Disembodied spirits Disenchanted souls shake the heavens, break the cosmic curse Disembodied spirits Disenchanted souls Disturbing the universe Captives of this Earthly sphere Silent planet, full of fear Gravity our lawful chains Enigmatic fate all that remains Can we swim against the tide? Do we dare to right the wrong? Should we just enjoy the ride? As the world is swept along? Do we dare to break the silence-- find a way to lift the spell? Are we ready for the violence of a quick descent to hell? Disembodied spirits Disenchanted souls shake the heavens, break the cosmic curse Disembodied spirits Disenchanted souls Disturbing the universe Disturbing the universe Disturbing the universe… From the vantage of the moon behold the sunrise and our world far below Lost descendants of the stars We search the astral planes to discover who we are Disembodied spirits Disenchanted souls shake the heavens, break the cosmic curse Disembodied spirits Disenchanted souls Disturbing the universe… Disturbing the universe… Disturbing the universe…

Vital Signs 04:19
lyrics
buy track
Unstable condition A symptom of life In mental and environmental change Atmospheric disturbance The feverish flux Of human interface and interchange The impulse is pure Sometimes our circuits get shorted By external interference Signals get crossed And the balance distorted By internal incoherence A tired mind become a shape-shifter Everybody need a mood lifter Everybody need reverse polarity Everybody got mixed feelings About the function and the form Everybody got to deviate from the norm An ounce of perception A pound of obscure Process information at half speed Pause, rewind, replay Warm memory chip Random sample, hold the one you need Leave out the fiction The fact is, this friction Will only be worn by persistence Leave out conditions Courageous convictions Will drag the dream into existence A tired mind become a shape-shifter Everybody need a soft filter Everybody need reverse polarity Everybody got mixed feelings About the function and the form Everybody got to elevate from the norm...
