Tracks



01. Firewalkers

Any day now she'll be gone
Any day now she'll be here again
And for one last time
We walk in the fire

Any places we will go
Anything we'll do is worth the pain
And for one last time
We walk in the fire

CHORUS:
She's dead
Wrapped in plastic
Still waiting there to pull you under
She's dead
Wrapped in plastic
Still waiting there to steal your thunder

Anyway - it's all the same
Anything we do, we play the game
But for one last time
We walk in the fire

CHORUS

She's gonna pull you under

You've got to liberate yourself
Gradually
Then suddenly
Liberate yourself

CHORUS

02. The Legion Of Two

Its not all over
There's still time
To take the road that leads to you
It's not all over
There's still time to kill and deeds we need to do

Confined spaces
And heartless smiles
Can't hide the fact
That one and one make two

CHORUS:
Seals made to be broken
By the two that make a legion
Seals made to be broken
By gods without religion

It's not all over
What will happen is not written in the stone
It's not all over
Spirit will be taking over flesh and bone

Confined spaces
And heartless smiles
Can't hide the fact
That one and one make two

CHORUS

03. Away From The Sun

The tide is low for painless satisfaction
The little time we have is but for greed
We hunger for the bittersweet attraction
For stabbing in the heart is all we need

CHORUS:
And now when love and life grow cold
You're here though everything is faded and gone
Somehow we're never growing old
We flee so many miles away from the sun

And still we keep on waiting for tomorrow
Forgiving rays of golden morning sun
Yet there will be time for loss and sorrow
It'll follow us until the day is done

CHORUS

You know there will be something that's worth keeping
You know there will be something beautiful...

04. The Rats In The Walls

Fleeing scenes of insanity
Where heaven dwells beyond the wall of sleep
With darkness all about
They come forward, take me out
But after all you put me through
The spoils of war within are mine to keep

CHORUS:
I hear them calling me
The rats in the walls - reaching out to see
My mind is crawling deep
The rats in the walls - waiting for their share of me
I hear them calling me
The rats in the walls - reaching out to be
My mind is crawling deep
The rats in the walls - untying my ends of sanity

Seeing the things that our vanity
Has made of those who watch and never sleep
With darkness all about
We come forward, take you out
And when we're finally through with you
The spoils of war within are buried deep

CHORUS

05. Tomorrow She Comes

So very strange
Have your dreams been lately
Her figure moving in the drift of time
So very strange
Have your schemes been lately
Caressing bodies without a rhyme

But hey - where're you gonna go now?
What'll it be now?
Redemption once again?

CHORUS:
Tomorrow she will take away the stain
Forgotten songs will come to pass
Tomorrow she'll be coming back again
Forgotten things within your grasp

So very wrong
Have your dreams been lately
Your body moving in the drift of time
So very wrong
Have your schemes been lately
You sowed your seed - now it's reaping time

But hey - where're you gonna go now?
What'll it be now?
Redemption once again?

CHORUS:
Tomorrow she will take away the stain
Forgotten songs will come to pass
Tomorrow she'll be coming back again
Forgotten things within your grasp
...Once again.

CHORUS

You've got to do it
You've got to get away

06. Flak Jacket

Daybreak - and it's more than you can take
On the shore of a dried up ocean
Commotion
As you break through the enemy lines

Daybreak - and there's something you can't shake
You saw reflections in their eyes
Makes you realize
You can't break through the enemy lines

Raise your hand - indisposed
Soldiers stand - indisposed

CHORUS:
Devil on your shoulder
And the monkey on your back
You should wear a flak jacket
Wear a flak jacket
Guess you never told her
That you might not make it back
You should wear a flak jacket
Wear a flak jacket tonight

Daybreak - and it's more than you can take
On the shore of a dried up ocean
Commotion
As you break through the enemy lines

Daybreak - and there's no way you can make it
The walls are crumbling down
Without a sound
You fall on the enemy lines

Raise your hand - indisposed
Soldiers stand - indisposed

CHORUS

And when it all was over
You were left without a name
All you got was laughter
And a life that was
...just a game

CHORUS

07. Sleep Of The Just

One more time
I will try
I will try
To make my way home
From this lone exile
One more time
I will try
I will try
To meet someone on this final mile

For we're ever waiting
Anticipating
Slowly drifting to decay

CHORUS:
And I fear the day we're giving up this fight
Things running, going
Slipping, flowing out of sight
And I fear the day we're giving up this fight
Were running, waking to the wanderlust
From the sleep of the just

One more time
I will cry
I will cry
I'll shed a tear for
All this worthless guile
One more time
I will try
I will try
To find crossroads on my final mile

For we're ever waiting
Anticipating
Slowly drifting to decay

CHORUS

08. Recoil

Get up
What you see ain't what you get
Never knew looks can deceive
Find me a tower high enough to fall

Say can you feel me?
I'm rotting from inside
Say can you heal me?

CHORUS:
Outside all the doors are open
We close the eyes within
...Can you see me falling?
Getting whipped by reality
Getting whipped by life

We hide behind the words not spoken
Close the eyes within
...Can you see me falling?
Getting whipped by reality
Getting whipped by life
We recoil

Get up
What I thought was never said
Better know when it's time to leave
Broken in half and still seen standing tall

Say can you feel me?
I'm rotting from inside
Say can you heal me?

CHORUS

Get together, you all
Break your tether, you all
Cock the hammer and fear for the recoil

09. Warmongers' Ball

Could it be so
That we're forsaken
Could it be so
That we're mistaken
Could it be so that in all these years
I've never heard your name?
Could it be so that your war will be my dame?

CHORUS:
In this life you don't have to see the lies
Just take the cause within you
And bury it once and for all
In this life you don't have to think twice
The final waltz within you
Is safe in this warmongers' ball

Could it be so
That we're torn and shaken
Could it be so
Though we're awakened?
Could it be so that in all these years
I've never seen your face?
Could it be so that we're falling from this race?

Because tonight we're paid to dance
Stand up and feel no more
Get out your guns and do romance
Get down and be a whore

CHORUS

...And now the war is in your hands

Because tonight we're paid to dance
Stand up and feel no more
Get out your guns and do romance
Get down and be a whore

CHORUS

10. Smoke And Mirrors

All the nameless things that follow you
They will die eventually
Instead of memories that have run you through
There will be conformity
...There will be conformity

CHORUS:
You can still turn the tide
though the world is inside out
You can still turn the tide
There's still a chance to live without
Smoke and mirrors

All the things that were hidden from you
They're here for you to see
Now all these memories will see you through
To be a part of history

CHORUS:
You can still turn the tide
though the world is inside out
You can still turn the tide
There's still a chance to live without
(fear)

CHORUS:
You can still turn the tide
though the world is inside out
You can still turn the tide
And cast aside your doubts
You can still turn the tide
though the world is inside out
You can still turn the tide
There's still a chance to live without
Smoke and mirrors

Smoke and mirrors

11. Remains (To Be Seen)

There was a time to walk away from madness
Forget the demons lying at your feet
But all that's broken

CHORUS:
Remains to be seen if you'll be
Falling from your grace
Remains to be seen if you will stay

There was a place you could call your home
There was soil to plough and seeds to sow
A place to give your weary heart a haven
Resist the urge of diving deep below
But all that's broken

CHORUS

"So wake up, sleepy one
Rise and shine
For what will be left of the waking world
When you wake up
Once and for all
That remains to be seen."

CHORUS:
Remains to be seen if you'll be
Falling from your grace
Remains to be seen if you will stay
Remains to be seen if you'll be
Calling my name when there's
No one there for you
Remains to be seen if you will stay

Sleeping - you're sleeping now
Until the world falls down on you
Sleeping - you're sleeping now
Until the final wake-up call
...there's no one left to believe in
