Machine Messiah
|
|
Part I Run down a street Where the glass shows That summer has gone Age, in the doorways Resenting the pace of the dawn. All of them standing in line All of them waiting for time. From time, the great healer, The machine-messiah Is born. Cables that carry the life To the cities we build Threads that link diamonds of life To the satanic mills Ah, to see in every way That we feel it every Day, and know that Maybe we'll change Offered the chance To finally unlearn our lessons And alter our stance. Part II Friends make their way into systems of chance (friends make their way of escape into systems of chance) Escape to freedom I need to be there Waiting and watching, the tables are turning I'm waiting and watching I need to be there. I care to see them walk away And, to be there when they say They will return. Machine, messiah The mindless Search for a higher Controller Take me to the fire And hold me Show me the strength of your Singular eye. Part III History dictating symptoms of ruling romance Claws at the shores of the water upon which we dance All of us standing in line All of us waiting for time To feel it, all the way And to be there when they Say they know that Maybe we'll change Offered the chance To finally unlearn our lessons And alter our stance. Machine, machine messiah. Take me into the fire Hold me, machine messiah And show me The strength of your singular eye. |

I see a man in a white car Move like a ghost on the skyline Take all your dreams And you throw them away Man in a white car. |

Does It Really Happen?
|
|
That's what you say Does it really happen to you Does that explain This is the season for this display. To take a look In time to move together Time is the measure before it's begun Slips away like running water Live for the pleasure, live by the gun Heritage for sun and daughter Down to the slaughter up for the fun Up for anything. Could this be true Does it ever happen to you And can you prove That wheels go 'round in reason You take a step In time, To move together Time is the measure before it's begun... You walk, the way You take, the path To be, assured You draw, a graph The scale, you use Is all, on black Be brave, the weight Will make, the heat There is, no way To take-it back. Time is the measure before it's begun... |

Into the Lens
|
|
Memories, how they fade so fast Look back, that is no escape Tied down, now you see too late. Lovers, they will never wait. I am a camera Take heart, I could never let you go And you, always let the feeling show Love us all, how you never broke your heart You lose them If you feel the feeling start. I am a camera, camera, camera And you, may find time will blind you This to just remind you All is meant to be. Here, by the waterside There, where the lens is wide You and me By the sea Taken in tranquility. Taken, taken so easily To pass into glass reality Transform, to transfer, to energy. Taken, taken, so easily To pass into glass reality Transformer, transferring energy. |

Run Through the Light
|
|
I asked my love to give me shelter And all she offered me were dreams Of all the moments spent together That move like never ending streams. Run to the light Everything is alright Run thro' the light of day You run to the light of night And every movement made together Till every thought was just the same And all the pieces fit forever In the game. Welcome to the light Now everything is okay Run thro' the light of night You run to the light of day. |

Tempus Fugit
|
|
Born in the night She would run like a leopard That freaks at the sight Of a mind close beside herself And the nearer I came How the country would change She was using the landscape To hide herself. More in the mind Than the body this feeling A sense at the end Of a circular line That is drawn at an angle I see when I'm with you To navigate waters and finally answer to yes. If you were there you would want to be near me Innocence, you could hold all the materials And though nothing would really be living It would shock your fall into landing light In the north sky time flies fast to the morning The cold of the dawn it meant nothing to us You were keeping your best situation An answer to yes (yes, yes) and the moment I see you (yes, yes) it's so good to be near you (yes, yes) and the feeling you give me (yes, yes) makes me want to be with you (yes, yes) from the moment you tell me - yes If you could see all the roads I have travelled Towards some unusable last equilibrium Run like an athlete and die like a dead beaten speed-freak An answer to all of your answers to-yes In the north sky time flies faster than morning The cold of the dawn it meant nothing to us You were keeping your best situation An answer to yes (yes, yes) and the moment I see you (yes, yes) it's so good to be near you (yes, yes) and the feeling you give me (yes, yes) makes me want to be with you (yes, yes) if we wait for an answer (yes, yes) will the silence be broken (yes, yes) should we wait for an answer (yes, yes) do we leave it unspoken (yes yes yes yes... ) |
