01. The Point of No Return

Music by Richard Henshall
Lyrics by Ross Jennings
Until the ice has melted
Into tears of pain or fear
Pure anticipation
In hope we are
Patient for a cry

A child is born tonight
And love has come to life

Listen to her heartbeat
The sound of live
An angel's song
Pure anticipation
In hope we are
Patient for a cry

A child is born tonight
And love has come to life

Living in this nightmare
Falling further to his knees
The purest disappointment
In hope we're not
Patient for a lie

A child was born tonight
At the point of no return

We can't raise this child
This precious circus freak
With fins for arms
And a tail where legs would be

There's no turning back
Our decision is made
If we don't let her go
We cannot love her as our own

"The water is thicker than blood
And we can't look her in the eyes,
Release her to the stream"

At the point of no return
The point of no return

Let me go
I don't belong here
I'll be free
I wont return home

It's no wonder that she's out there all alone
It's no wonder that she is soaked to the bone
It's no wonder water is thicker than blood
Wonder if the storm will come for us ?

She'll find a way to the point of no return
She's on her way past the point of no return

02. Streams

Music by Richard Henshall
Lyrics by Ross Jennings
i. Streams
Oooh, now that I am free
Swimming with the many fishes of the stream
Yeah, and I am welcome here
we all just connected, swimmingly

Streams of life digress like water running through my veins

I'm learning how to breathe
Living underwater I am deeper than the eye can see
Yeah, it was meant to be
Now I'm flowing with the current of the stream

Streams of life digress like water running through my veins

Running through my veins
Running through my veins

I start my life again
Just as well this ain't the first stream I have swam
Cold water rushing to my brain
Is thicker than the blood that's flowing through my veins

Streams of life digress like water running through my veins
Streams of blood like liquid love is rushing to my brain

ii. Veins
It suddenly hits me
In the heat of the sun
A product of fear
Far from human

It suddenly hits me
And crushes my world
Like a tidal wave
Trapped in my shell

It suddenly hits me
What I have become ?
Searching for answers
In my aquarium

It suddenly bites me
And poisons my veins
Lost and unable to find my way

iii. Digression
My chosen path
The direction that I take
Is the consequence
Of your greatest mistake

When that day arrives
It's decision time
Which way will I turn ?
Will I ever really learn ?

If I'm shown the way
I will never be alone
The choice is mine
In deciding where I'll go

All our souls digressed
We started as one
All our journeys will end
At the same destination

Streams of life digress like water running through my veins
Streams of blood like liquid love is rushing to my brain

03. Aquarium

Music by Richard Henshall
Lyrics by Ross Jennings
Just another day sitting by the river
As February fades
I was fishing for my dinner
When something caught my eye in my peripheral vision
Have I lost my mind if I believe in what I'm seeing ?

Eyes from around the world
Stare through the glass
Of my aquarium
Line up to see the girl
Blessed by the curse
Of the aquarius

Freak of nature
Pay to see her
Eyes surround her
Like a fever
Free me master
See me shiver
Put me back into the river

I wont tell a soul
But I could make a fortune
All those empty years of staring into my reflection
I could bide my time
But I can't keep a secret
She's the great discovery of the 22nd century

Eyes from around the world
Stare through the glass
Of my aquarium
Line up to see the girl
Blessed by the curse
Of the aquarius

Fortune and fame
She's the freak of the day
Only you made a name for yourself
The fell in love

After all that he's done
To her plan that is destined to fail

Oooh They hit it right off (she freaked you out)
Eyes from around the world
Stare through the glass
Of my aquarium
I've seen the girl
Blessed by the curse
Of the aquarius

Freak of nature
Pay to see her
Eyes surround her
Like a fever
Free me master
See me shiver
Put me back into the river
Eyes surround me
like a prison
Heart is beating
You have listened
Free me master
See me shiver
Put me back into the river

04. Eternal Rain

Music by Richard Henshall
Lyrics by Ross Jennings
Suddenly I realize
Every hero pays the price
And with no hesitation
I give her the kiss of life

Dry land
Don't cry on me
How could I know ?
The sky forgives no one
And the worst has yet to come

Soaking right down to the bone
In your eternal rain
I give in to temptation
She was never meant to be saved

Dry land
Don't cry on me
How could I know ?
The sky forgives no one
And the worst has yet to come

05. Drowning In the Flood

Music by Richard Henshall
Lyrics by Ross Jennings
Calling S.O.S in deep despair
Please, teach me how the hell do I breathe down there
Waves crash on me I can't hold my breath
There's no coming up for a gasp of air

And as the tears fall on us now
The chances are that I will drown
I've sacrificed
All that I love and care about
Drowning in the flood

Speak or forever hold your face
Mourning in the sunken city weeps
Steal my thunder in your tempest hail
We'll surrender when the levee fails

Human corpses floating side by side
Washed up with the distant moonlit tide
Only she can save our sorry souls
Priceless freedom coming at a heavy cost

But I can't turn back hands of time
She knows her purpose is to die
I've sacrificed
All that I love and care about
I'm drowning in the flood

I'm sorry, I'm sad with a sence of regret
It fills my lungs
It's not too late to suffocate
The price I will pay for what I've done

We are trapped under the sea
But we made this ocean
In one day
It takes my breath away

We were drowning she was free
Now she's gone forever
I will pay
She takes my breath away

Will we live to tell the tale ?
Is it worth the price we paid ?
Are we praying for the sun ?
Or are we drowning in the flood ?

06. Sun

Music by Richard Henshall
Lyrics by Ross Jennings
Without a reason left to live
Lonely air I breathe
And as she takes her final breath
Yesterday becomes a memory
As I am learning to let go of the dead

Goodbye she cries
As she slowly disappears
Into light
She vaporized
Peacefully

The silence resonates beyond
Now that she is gone
Wish I could turn back hands of time
And die to save a thousand lives

With fear in your eyes
The time has come
Reveal the sun you hide
Tears melt the ice
The time has come
When death and love collide

My savior
I wait for her
To return
Forgive me
I killed you
To save us all

One final look into her eyes
I watched her vaporise
Merging with the light

Fear within your eyes
The time has come
Reveal the sun you hide
Dry tears of mine
The time has come
When death and love collide

07. Celestial Elixir

Music by Richard Henshall
Lyrics by Ross Jennings
Oh, I still hear the angels song
Whispered by a child that once belonged
With tears of joy
So white
The colour of a restless night
More than a faint memory can provide
If years go by
Fear and pain will sustain in your eyes

She may never return
But I can wait forever
If we can't make amends
I'll chase your rainbow till the end

Find us a cure for your disease
Spare us your ancient remedy
If this is all I ever ask
Emptiness is all I ever had

Our lives are scarred from deep with in
Scales grow all over our skin
A miracle is all I'll ever need
To cure them all
Holding onto my amphibian dream

She may never return
But I can wait forever
If we can't make amends
I'll chase your rainbow till the end

Find us a cure for your disease
Spare us your ancient remedy
If this is all I ever ask
Emptiness is all I ever had

The calm that comes after the storm
The tide that never reaches the shore
So heavenly
Your remedy
When love prevails
Swallowing the blood of enemies

She may never return
But I will wait forever
If we can not make amends
I'll chase your rainbow till the end

Streams of light unite with water
Running through our veins

Streams of blood like liquid
Love is running through our veins
