So, we begin, a perfect launch a perfect wind
Pictures pave the road ahead A winding way, a silent dread Then I see One thousand fires Like stars they fill my eyes One thousand fires Flames burning midnight skies Caution to wind, we push further to the end And there she stands, all alone Her tired eyes, her flesh and bone And I see One thousand fires Like stars they fill my eyes One thousand fires Flames burning midnight skies And it's never ending, this sky high white night Feels like I'm descending out of reason While mountains burn before my eyes While mountains burn Winters end is falling beneath ash on the wind As the March flames take all away With one glance, I felt her desperate eyes call to me Then she turned to give herself away And so we end, as we began so long ago Pictures fade, the road behind Still she stands, still she cries 02. Firefly Music & lyrics by Jim Matheos, Ray Alder
There, in the silence of the night
I see you shine Drifting down to me, drift down to me Is this how it's supposed to be? Will you stay, will you go? Again, this time, how far? Then you take, and you're gone No longer need to wait here anymore Fly, far away I won't regret at all Not asking you to stay I can't make you understand As I close my empty hand And as I stand here Watching stars go shooting by A thought comes to me, it comes to me This is how it's supposed to be Fly, far away I won't regret at all Not asking you to stay I can't make you understand As I close my empty hand And as night turns to day Alone now I walk away And as time changes Your light fades into the gray Will you stay, will you go? Again, this time, how far? Then you take, and you're gone No longer need to wait here anymore Fly, far away I won't regret at all Not asking you to stay I can't make you understand As I close these empty hands 03. Desire Music & lyrics by Jim Matheos, Ray Alder
Lying on the flood, the world carries on
Life does not wait for me Trying to pretend that I was Everything you believed Drowning in my own desire All your needs fail to inspire Miles of vacant years run through my mind Like headlights through the night And oceans have their ways Of getting between what I feel should be Drowning in my own desire All your needs fail to inspire It's not over, it's not crashing down What's the game, what's the prize? And one moment of belief Disturbs the quiet dream for you When poetic moments Aren't all they seem Then reality becomes The dream Drowning in my own desire All your needs fail to inspire 04. Falling Music & lyrics by Ray Alder, Jim Matheos
Take away the part of me
That makes me feel that makes me see The things that I don't want to be At least I know that I can count on you A step ahead I step behind The things I fear, I've crossed the line Into a world where I feel blind I always know that I can count on you Took the time to live a life To see the world then say goodbye To my old friends, I don't know why I always know that I can count on you Oh, and it's hard to stay this graceful when I'm falling, falling Oh, and I have to say that yesterday is calling Now here I am with eyes shut tight Not knowing if I'll see the light Before it's too late in this life I never knew I could not count on you 05. I Am Music & lyrics by Jim Matheos, Ray Alder, Bobby Jarzombek
My friend, it seems you've been
Where you belong Take what you deserve, don't make it mine to carry now Take what you deserve, and never make a sound When words are walls I am the end I'll make them fall, I am Tearing walls down, I am Tearing walls down, I am It's happening Can't you see the edge calling to us? In spite of everything That lives and moves In silence I breathe again I flow and descend I'll take what I deserve but can you help me understand Why should I deserve a solitary word? When words are walls I am the end I'll make them fall, I am Tearing walls down, I am Tearing walls down, I am 06. Lighthouse Music & lyrics by Jim Matheos, Ray Alder
Through the rain there is hope ahead
Through the rain there will be a light for you You believed in those faded maps And now you find yourself lost and alone Close to you and yet miles away A lingering heart beats inside of you A quiet answer to such fragile things You're not alone, you're not alone The lighthouse waits It waits for you The lighthouse waits It waits for you I know that now it's so hard to see But in time you'll find, the light, waiting Boundless and barren oceans surround But when it's darkest, you'll see the light You must open your eyes Then you'll know that the thunder only crashes awhile And the storm clouds will pass soon Then you'll see that the lighthouse waits for you The lighthouse waits The lighthouse waits It waits for you The lighthouse waits It waits for you 07. Into The Black Music & lyrics by Jim Matheos, Ray Alder
Night is fallen above me, fallen
And I cling to hope and fate Lingering passions calling Now it seems they cannot wait As I wander into the black Far beyond far, I'm never coming back Forgive me my darkness for living in light No more shadows to hide behind Time, a whispering frail lie, falling On my deaf ears constantly Somehow I feel that longing To hold near what I can't see As I wander into the black Far beyond far, I'm never coming back Forgive me my darkness for living in light No more shadows to hide behind This can't be, all that's left now Light has turned its back on me The hourglass, is out of sand Too late to reach out my hand As I wander into the black Far beyond far, I'm never coming back Forgive me my darkness for living in light No more shadows to hide behind 08. Kneel And Obey Music & lyrics by Jim Matheos
Feel waters rise
Sink down below Kneel and obey Breath deep the flow When the book is open wide Bow down and pray Salvation's what you need Kneel and obey Feel fires heat Fall to your knees Kneel and obey Swim burning seas When the book is open wide Bow down and pray Salvation's what you need Kneel and obey When the book is open wide Bow down and pray Worship is what I need Kneel and obey Kneel Obey 09. O Chloroform Music by Jim Matheos, Ray Alder, Kevin Moore Lyrics by Kevin Moore
See what you've done, holding your tongue
Now tell me who's the delirious one So safe and warm o chloroform Keep us from coming around again Let's say the sun turns up again Let's say it's the same one that's ever come No stars can round you up again They're suffering so long, so long That photograph tore you in half So the sane can escape the past True to form o chloroform Get the windows and the door Home on the border You can write yourself a letter Wave to the camera And keep your body warm Let's say the sun turns up again Let's say it's the same one that's ever come No stars can round you up again They're suffering so long, so long And no one takes over when you asleep Ten hours of eternity Tell yourself and call yourself a refugee We're suffering so long, so long 10. And Yet It Moves Music & lyrics by Jim Matheos
Start towards morning
We leave the station Long long miles ahead To an unknown destination Landscape in gray Meets a tired eye Like the years unnoticed It all just rushes by Falling, floating, Feeling far removed and alone Dreaming, drifting No direction, destination unknown Racing forward Pushing through the haze Slipping slowly back And tripping through the days Falling, floating, Feeling far removed and alone Dreaming, drifting No direction, destination unknown Horizons shift Sea and sky combine Out there, somewhere Distant points align Perceptions blur Time and space collide Long days, years blaze Across the great divide Falling, floating, Lost and far from home Dreaming, drifting Destination unknown Reflections dim Day and night converge Routine, unseen The past and present merge Falling, floating Lost and far from home Dreaming, drifting Destination unknown Eyes to the window Watching the rain come down Too soon it's over And we're left with dry ground And in the evening Shooting stars come passing through Too soon it's over And they drift from out of view But now between sea and sky Shadows are growing thin Losing light, lost in time As the night rolls in And then under moon and stars The long day fades and ends All alone but not lonely As darkness descends In this moment all is well Sea and sky slow and pause You are small, days are long And time stands still (yet it moves, and yet it moves) In this moment mind at rest Moon and stars slow and pause You are tired, nights are long And time stands still (yet it moves, and yet it moves) 11.

Falling Further Music & lyrics by Jim Matheos, Ray Alder
Take away the part of me
That makes me feel that makes me see The things that I don't want to be At least I know that I can count on you A step ahead I step behind The things I fear, I've crossed the line Into a world where I feel blind I always know that I can count on you Took the time to live a life To see the world then say goodbye To my old friends, I don't know why I always know that I can count on you Oh, and it's hard to stay this graceful when I'm falling, falling Oh, and I have to say that yesterday is calling Now here I am with eyes shut tight Not knowing if I'll see the light Before it's too late in this life I never knew I could not count on you 13. One Music & lyrics by Jim Matheos, Ray Alder
Under the spotlight
I feel our worlds becoming one Around me I feel Everything we are everything we see I'll take a part of you You take a part of me Knowing at a glance Where we all stand Searching for another chance To make us all One Above the staring eyes I sense that you and I are One Knowing, showing Everything we are everything we see I'll take a part of you Take a part of me Knowing at a glance Where we all stand Searching for another chance To make us all One Now I know We are One now Now I know We are One now Now I know We are One now Now I know We are One now After the fading lights I felt that we were one I know I need Everything we are everything we see I took a part of you You took a part of me Knowing at a glance Where we all stand Searching for another chance To make us all One 14. Life In Still Water Music & lyrics by Jim Matheos
Feeling the weight of unseen chains
This routine is growing thin It's a narrow path that we walk And the walls are closing in Caving in Is there room still for us to grow Within the bounds we've come to know Beneath the dust of our days Hides the key to our emotions And it's been a while since we've been moved Without going through the motions No emotions Is there time still for us to show Feelings we forgot long ago Living life in still water Blinded by what we've become YOU get tired of screaming When you're not reaching anyone I think it's time now for YOU to know Holding on is easier than letting go Living life in still water Blinded by what we've become YOU get tired of screaming When you're not reaching anyone |
