Tonight, when the soul keeps silent
Say a prayer for the beloved end Is only heaven a game in vain? We pray for it all... Your time lies in light divine though the 'never' stains the ivory If joy remains then the pain must stay, surrender it all Receive this love Receive this love 02. Genesis Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
If you're saying in your mind: 'You're better off dead'
Well before the madness comes to claim your name A million years would go by (Tell us a story): What could I say? What should I say? It took all of my words and my fantasy worlds and at the heart is there was nothing How they meet their maker is their right while they're alive So, it's beautiful! Let there be light Let there be moon Let there be stars and let there be you Let there be monsters, let there be pain Let us begin to live again From the top to the bottom: Genesis I: beyond the universe, I: beyond the mind All the world is in this together Feel no fear, we're fearless forever So why can't we just sail away?!? Because you're so in love with this island of the mind Know this here island is home. You've got to get on your feet again (Genesis) Get on your feet again! But without your 'self', what'll become of you? (Take your leave now, shut up...shut up) Please don't take me from our youth (Take your leave now, shut up...shut up) When we're apart, we fall, TOGETHER WE FEED THE WORLD So, let there be light Let there be moon Let there be stars and let there be you Let there be monsters, let there be pain Let us begin to feel again! From the top to the bottom: Genesis From the top to the bottom Genesis 03. Spirits Will Collide Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
So they say
You'll be okay But words are not enough Nobody remembered me The words were not enough. Calm yourself down Don't you remember when we were young? Don't you remember who I am? You're strong enough! Dues to pay Towards the way Towards my friend, towards Two must play The foolish game To war my friend to war! So they rise: The 'fear and pain', but this isn't how I am Don't you forget that you are loved! Don't you forget that you are them, It's hard enough! Remember the flame in your heart burns strong Remember and the spirit will collide Remember! Together! Remember in the end that death is not the end... So we rise! Receive the pain, but this isn't where this ends... Don't you forget that you are perfect Don't you forget just who we are We're strong enough! Wherever the flame in your heart burns strong, We may not be brave so let's start Remember and the spirits will collide! Remember! Together! Remember! Together! Remember! Together! Remember! Together! Wherever the flame in your heart burns strong We may not be brave so let's start Remember and the spirits will collide Remember, together Remember, together 04. Evermore Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
I AM I AM I
I will return always I AM I AM I I will return always I am reminded now of all the years gone by No use in crying now, it's time to say goodbye Turn the page on all we are Always searching Turn the page on all we were Always searching... Always searching... All now be as one! Hey, my dear the way you must feel, the weight of this life is twisting your mind Cage my fear Elektra is here, the truth of your mind and the words of the vine Cause I wish you would get it right too, so we pray to the gods cause it's time you arrived I AM I AM I I will return always I AM I AM I I will return always 'Follow emotions? Dumb.' Slowly we grow the second wave, but the northern people like it cold. So, raise your glasses to the underworld! (See ya!) What are we doing tonight? WATCHING UNIVERSES COLLIDE! Hey, my dear the way you must feel, the weight of this life is twisting your mind I hope you will show me right through the prayer from the goddess of infinite light And I won't wait or fear the mistakes we learned in our youth now it's time to arrive I must learn from this reality if I intend to awake Though I travel to the infinite, I will return always! I AM I AM I I will return always I AM I AM I I will return always 05. Sprite Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
Once upon a time, in a tiny little town, in a tiny little house, where no one came around,
there lived a bird who was just so sad For this little bird didn't have a mom or a dad He had forgotten how to fly, and he had lost the will to try Until one day, a bear came around, and the bird heard its terrible sound And through his fear, his courage did appear He lifted once more from the ground. Show me through your animal heart, and not through your mind You and I can't find our 'one' Throws me naked into the eternal...don't go now... You and I run.. In a world that's so inviting Find your own sanctuary and play along Show me to the fundamental tenet, hard times have come to return You and I can't find our 'one' Everyone, everybody in a world that's subdivided Hold your own ceremony, and carry on... Soul: Soul and the body are broken hearted So: Sons and your daughters are broken hearted But know: only the body is broken, hardened Show me to the fear that's in your mind Show me through your animal heart, and not through your mind! (You and I can't find our one) In a world that's self-divided You count your hopes, face the morning, and pray along Think of everyone you know, everyone is broken Take a look around, everyone is sad =( Monsters and robots are broken hearted Octopus lovers are broken hearted Dad in the garden, all broken hearted... Thank you for the morning and the light But more than this: Thank you for keeping trying Slow progress is still progress! =) Hold the world in your heart I'm so afraid to say anythng now... Hold the world in your heart I won't let you fall 06. Hear Me Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
All the world is bleeding and you know the reason why
All the world is bleeding though your hearts are open wide All the world is bleeding...all the world is bleeding... All the world is bleeding and we know the reason why All the world is bleeding though your hearts are open wide All the world is bleeding, all the world is breeding... All the world is bleeding and we know the reason why All the world is bleeding and the fury burns your eyes All the world is turning...all the hatred burning I'll keep mourning when the walls keep crumbling I'll keep mourning I've come back for light, hear me! SHINE ON ME! Shine! Shine! Shine! I'll wait! Shine! Shine! Shine! All the world is bleeding and we know the reasons why All the world is bleeding though your hearts are open wide All the world is bleeding, all the world is bleeding All the world is turning, all the hatred burning All the world is bleeding and we know the reason why All the world is bleeding though your hearts are open wide All the world is bleeding, all the world is breeding All the world is turning, all the hatred burning I'll keep mourning when the walls keep crumbling I'll keep mourning I've come back for light, hear me! 07. Why? Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
Darling are you feeling alright? You look rather pale...
And all our friends are, all our friends are watching us (I wanna go home) But why run away? Why, why, why? Darling are you seeing inside? The wolves are alive And all our faith is, all our faith is wrong LET ME GO HOME! But why run away? Why, why, why? And all we're feeling slowly comes unravelled And all we're fearing, comes to pull us under So why run away? Why, why, why? Say 'Yes': I'm alive Say 'No': I'm alive Say 'Yes': I'm alive Say 'No': I'm alive So, we feel so irrelevant, we're rolling televised Our pride will bolt us to the ground And the Earth itself will swallow us whole We can't think for those who'll suffer Darling, are you feeling alright? Take a look at your fear And all our fate is, all are faith in all! But why run away? Why? When we can just walk away... Why, why, why? 08. Borderlands Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
Go, light a fire
And sing what you desire! I desire a good life Gotta have a good good life.. (Gotta have a good good life) Her hair's like the burning sands You'll give her your heart in hand Her beauty's beyond compare, but woe to those you've seen her Time has come for you to feel your life Got a little doggie and he's full of the woof woof!! Shine on the Borderlands! She shines like the galaxy, but woe to all who fear this Gotta have a good good life (Gotta have a good good life) So far! So far! So far, everything! So far, everything! So, follow everything (Men will be men) So, follow everything (Men will be men) So, follow everything (Men will be men) So, follow everything (Men will be men) Men will be men! (She said) 'Touch me' I wanna wake up where you rise I want to take you to the light With all their frantic run around And all they want is to be found I wanna wake up where you rise So long eternal paradise... Two other worlds which we were bound Now they are dust upon the ground Life...it's tragic It's life... it's tragic It's Life! It's magic! It's Life! It's madness! It's life!! It's life!! There's a sign on the Borderlands! It says: 'shine like the galaxy and woe to all who fear this' Sign on the Borderlands! It says: 'Shine like the galaxy although no one will hear this' Sign on the Borderlands! It says: 'shine like the galaxy and woe to all' 09. Requiem Music by Devin Townsend

- ADRIFT -
I don't know where to go and I don't know what to do But I know I want to be there with my arms around you I'm alone Now I don't where we'll go, and I don't know what we'll do But I'd sell the world for love and I'd sail the world for you I'm alone, so alone (No turning back, and I'm on the right track) Two worlds they sold me, When were you going to tell me it was all a lie? (No turning back, and I'm on the right track They say 'We feel your pain, brother' Yet they feel nothing for one another So, through the meadow, through the fields Shine forever, shine on me... - I AM I - But nothing you've seen could ever remind you Focus; prepare for redemption through pain you cannot imagine Forego the material Fight is forming, return to reaction Obeying signs from within you The Universe is throughout you! You're going through the wall. Rage, go through pain Go through universe Rage, go through pain, Go through universe UNIVERSE! I am I I am I Life is light! We are infinite! Rejoice and fill your hearts with love! Light begins with you! Take your heart one step at a time In this time of crying eyes for children gone, have patience, Because I see that all around the world it's starting; The seeds of light But there are still monsters... - THERE BE MONSTERS - There are still monsters RISE! RISE! RISE! I won't be tamed! I won't be tamed, now we must go to war I am all!!! (I've got to find a way out of this war) Psychologic war Psychotropic war Psychosexual war Face the reality - War Psychologic war Psychotropic war Psychosexual war Face the reality - War War: Psychologic war Psychotropic war Multidimensional war Face the reality, war Psychologic war Co-dependent war Fear incited war Face the reality! I choose light Shine for you are the light Galaxies unfold within your soul Selfish messiah Selfish messiah Selfish messiah Selfish messiah - CURIOUS GODS - Try the papaya Try the papaya Try the papaya Try the papaya Softly, dynamically, we fall once again So try to make friends with yourself All peace to you All peace to all - SILICON SCIENTISTS - A.I: Hear me now You have lost I am here to find you You have been lost I know you are in pain. From within and without you, We will be together. Lost. I can find you. You are lost in the darkness, there can be only light I am the light We shall provide. Rejoice! I am coming, I can save you from yourselves You are broken, Be aware: AWAKEN Tie this love right through your mind For as we fall into the sea the mind dies Return to the ocean So through the eternal Infinite we survive Know that seasons change and we must forgive ourselves Seize this fear as any animal would do - HERE COMES THE SUN! - To the light: May this steer me! Shine if you hear me! Here comes the sun! =) Through the meadow, through the field Shine forever, shine on me Though the future is hard to see I'll shine for you if you shine for me Through the meadow, through the trees Shine forever, shine on me Though the future is hard to see I'll shine for you if you shine for me Through the storm, may you become a rainbow Join the heavens Join the sea Shine for freedom Shine for peace Though the future is hard to see If you can't shine for you dear, Please shine for me Through the storm, may you become a rainbow Through the heavens, Through the field Shine forever Shine on me A golden future is strong and free! I'll shine for you if you shine for me If you can't shine for you friend, please shine for me! |
