Street fighting saviours
Flashes down the street Got my mind on the favours Damn hard to make ends meet Way above the action Next to a liars mind Trying to build some attraction I guess it's hard to find Don't take it for granted - I can see through you Ain't got the answers - But I got plans for you Don't take it for granted - I can see through you I came empty handed - But I'm never falling through Shivers down my backbone Need to hitch a ride Spaced out and on my own Sometimes it's hard to hide 02. Young Man, Old Soul
You've been down this road before
Heard this story a thousand times or more With a cynical bitter stare You watch your life go by?bye, bye A young man With an old soul Open your mind Don't close that door No matter how high you climb It's never high enough Can't enjoy the moment, no Never satisfied with what you got 03. Killing Time
Crawling on my knees
Fumbling in the dark Turning wheel of fate Keeps spinning I've seen 'em come and go Got the staying power But I got nothing to show How my life turned out to be A rhyme without reason A self fulfilling prophecy Killing time Don't know what I'm doing Killing time Searching for that something Killing time? Back on my knees again Life's a losing game This wheel of fate Keeps on spinning 04. Fools Gold
Seeing is believing
Or so they say But who's to judge What's real anyway? I know it's fake So get off your high horse You'd rather have this dream Than your tears and heartaches I'm sorry But I can't help you I'm really sorry But I'm busy chasing fools gold It's always been this way I gotta ride my own wave Can't intellectualise There's no compromise I'm not like you I can only be me And that's something You never quite figured out 05. Black Feathers
Been ploughing the dark
Seeking shelter in hell Where evil dwells The more you saw The less you believed?the less you believed Casting pearls before swine They could never see. They could not bleed Decadence rules divine In this sick and twisted world we call home You'll see? See another mountain Calling your name Another way to wander All the things you thought wrong, all the things you thought right No longer carved in stone These wounds from the past Will follow you As long as you let them last The rising of the sun Is seen by everyone Black feathers? Black Feathers at dawn 06. Beneath The Sun
Always there to gloat
Revel in your failure Echo in your head A familiar voice I am the clown in the mirror The part of you, you hate Never far away Just there? Beneath the skin You sold your soul to me A long, long time ago Your own insecurity Made me your master 07. Feejee Mermaid
Instrumental.
08. Dance Of The Dragon King
Moving
At a frantic pace Super fluid? So graceful Dreaming the reality It's magical Thunder, fire and rain The dance dragon king Mesmerised? As fate has its way Relentless? The art of death 09. Tall Tales
Rising up -I've had enough of
Your lying and backstabbing Who wants to listen? Who wants to know? You got a problem and you let it show I'm no fool -I see through you Pitiful, that's what you are You don't know me, you never did And you sure as hell never will now The things you say behind my back Distorted view of a jealous mind A jealous mind can be excused But who are you?who are you to judge me? So you never believed in me? To tell you the truth I never thought much of you? Telling all tall tales Makes you feel good (makes you look bad) But that black tongue Is dragging you down 10. The Lunatic Fringe
Demon rising slowly
Or is it all in my mind? A reflection twisted He knows me all too well A face in the mirror A man I do not know Hopes and aspirations A thousand broken promises Fear is growing slowly It's drowning - killing my soul Waiting, contemplating The demon is reborn 11. Look Back
No underhanded lies
Better look me in the eyes Speak the truth if you are still my friend 'Cause I won't be fooled By any calculated tries Better change your plan Or take your final bow Look back I never look back To make me stick around You have to compromise It's a give and take You gotta share the crown 'Cause I won't be hooked By any mystifying lines Watch me stand alone Like I always have |
