Colours In The Fire

Still can’t find the madness in their own eyes
Humans delay the animal inside
Like a hand reaching out for future plans, our future plans
Oh and we still, we still, see the edge of the light
Oh and we still, we still, see the colours in the fire
They dance like flames burning in a row
Some dance too quickly, some dance too slow
When tales are told, embers grow cold
Oh and we still, we still, see the edge of the light
Oh and we still, we still, see the colours in the fire
Oh and we still, we still, see the edge of the light
Oh and the colours drew those around in
The virtuous, the weak, they all sinned
In their eyes you could see a savage pride
Oh and we still, we still, see the edge of the light
Oh and we still, we still, see the colours in the fire
Oh and we still, we still, see the edge of the light
Oh and we still, we still, see the colours in the fire

The Unknown

I don’t wanna go into the unknown tonight
The images of man parade at the speed of light
I don’t wanna go and fall asleep tonight
The goddess of greed, she fell from a worrying height
Don’t wanna go, into the night
And see a friend or meet a life
Don’t break my heart,
Don’t bore us with your vanity
The vampires are all guilty
Don’t feed them they’ll get strong
Don’t break my heart,
I hear your words like laughter
I don’t need simple answers
The things you never know, that’s the unknown
I don’t wanna go into the unknown tonight
The canvas of hope she’s shivering inside
I don’t wanna go and fall asleep tonight
The burden of man will keep us all up tonight
Don’t wanna go, into the night
And see a friend or meet a life
Don’t break my heart,
Don’t bore us with your vanity
The vampires are all guilty
Don’t feed them they’ll get strong
Don’t break my heart,
I hear your words like laughter
I don’t need simple answers
The things you never know, that’s the unknown

The things you never know
So powerful, so alluring and cruel
Delay your last dance
Staring out the window (of time)
Take her to, take her to the pictures
Fill your emptiness with images
Don’t keep them all inside
Don’t let them die
Scenes,
Deleted from my life
Scenes,
Deleted from my past
Now we’re nowhere, staring at the abyss
It’s more beautiful than any of those films
I think I'll stay, if I could survive
Oh, deliver it in time
I’ll make sure you receive a credit
Despite your absence you were there in spirit
It couldn’t have been the same without your life
Without your vices and emotional crimes
Scenes,
Deleted from my life
Scenes,
Deleted from my past
We’ll cut you from the film, we’ll cut you from the film
We’ll cut you from the film, we’ll cut you from the film
It’s written down, it’s in the script
Scenes,
Deleted from my life (oh erased in time)
Scenes,
Deleted from my past (oh erased in time)
Scenes,
Deleted from my life (oh erased your life)
Scenes,
Deleted from my past (oh erased in time)

Skin On Bone
03:37

Somewhere I’ll be hidden from you
Somewhere I’ll be disguised from view
And in the womb of our bedrooms
Where the ugly drown in cheap perfume
And shadows make a point of view (moving slowly from you)
Your beauty I now see right through
Your skin I see right through
Your skin
And I was only seventeen
When your eyes first devoured me
I was just a sick and vulgar boy
With my legs open just like a whore
And shadows make a point of view
Your beauty I now see right through
Your skin I see right through
Your skin I see abused
Your skin I see right through
I close my eyes when I’m in control
I feel the weight of our skin and bones
A bath to wash our mortal sins
Deeper than the darkest of all seas
And shadows make a point of view
Your beauty I now see right through
Your skin I see right through
Your skin I see abused
Your skin
Your skin I see right through
Your image I see abused
Your frame I see right through
Your beauty a vacuum

Another Cup Of Tea
04:01

What do they know
What can they see?
In their own image
Are the days still real?
Too many colours to the stream of memory
Where sketches are now stories
Thinking war is just over and love is still young
Does it break the heart again when there’s nothing to be done?
Another coal on the fire
Another cup of tea
When others still care
There’s someone still around
You want to just see her
But you know there’s no fairytales
Too much time, too late to enjoy yourself
Now light sleeps in the dark
Thinking war is just over and love is still young
Does it break the heart again when there’s nothing to be done?
Thinking love is just over and war is still young
Does it break the mind again when nothing can be done?
Another coal on the fire
Another cup of tea
Each day a new tale of misery
Stillness then wild emotion
Thinking war is just over and love is still young
Does it break the heart again when there’s nothing to be done?
Thinking love is just over and war is still young
Does it break the mind again when nothing can be done?
Another coal on the fire
Another cup of tea

All I feel is this world
It's fondness for a joke or fairytale
The madness gathered in it's soil
Confusing sinners snaked in coils
A gentleman is all you know
Raised from earthly skin and bone
Oh Animals are all we know
When they get the guts they'll put on a show
See the envy in their eyes
A gentle push, the species survives
Feel the weight of time
Forever walks the line
oh Animals
I object to lucid dreams
That beat from hearts of wild creatures
The scraps of news heaped in fire
No flame will douse this raw desire
Democracy impossible
When bigger bones work twice as hard
Oh Animals are all we know
When they get the guts they'll put on a show
See the envy in their eyes
A gentle push, the species survives
Feel the weight of time
Forever walks the line
Oh Animals
Oh Animals are all we know
When they get the guts they'll put on a show
See the envy in their eyes
A gentle push, the species survives
Feel the weight of time
Forever walks the line
Oh Animals
Oh Animals!

Day Is Night

Left him dry by the bar
He spoke to everyone
Led me to faces that I knew
I’d never see again
Now I don’t know where you are now brother
You’re not the boy that I knew
Who wants to be loved by all?
The strain that it brings
Without his best friend
The light would dull again
How can you keep up with the day?
Grinning with ease
from behind rusty strings
Of blood and beer
And sweat and nicotine
When we sat down to write
All melodies disappeared
I knew my place around him
But slowly I outgrew
Who wants to be loved by all?
The strain that it brings
Without his best friend
The light would dull again
How can you keep up with the day?
Day is night and night is awake
No more mornings to feel ashamed
I think I know why you do it brother
But I can’t help her only you (and what good did that do)
When I got the call
Things got harder from there
Who wants to be loved by all?
The strain that it brings
Without his best friend
The light would dull again
How can you keep up with the day?

The Age Of Amnesia
04:23

A man faces the vast unknown
They have seen him somewhere before
An empire he aims to withhold
So easier when no one is known
You can't be young
Oh they can be old
The difference is nothing
Oh when death is controlled
When you salvage, promise your world
So man can bestow, what is worthwhile to hold
If time heals all then you can forget
And they all say "we'll all meet again, we'll all meet again"
"We'll all meet again, we'll all meet again"
The past is too old, done forever, alone
From vague memories of the books and the dreams
Built upon failure under bleak, black, brutal skies
You can be serious, when you pass by
If time heals all then you can forget
And they all say "we'll all meet again, we'll all meet again"
"We'll all meet again, we'll all meet again"
You can't be young, they can be old
The difference is nothing, when death is controlled
Life after war and you'll never concede
Because this is a wasteland where everything is free
If time heals all then you can forget
And they all say "we'll all meet again, we'll all meet again"
"We'll all meet again, we'll all meet again"
"We'll all meet again!"

The End I Wish For Them
02:44

Hidden lies beneath our prose
A man grips a discipline disposed
Embarrassed inside a vessel born cold
Delayed by comfort, forever is too late
The love for indifference remains
A nation confused with nature's war
Escaping eyes too scared to absorb
The light that won't fit round humanity's corpse
Like suffering wells, like dreams in light
You innocently passed all signs of life
Your wisdom dictates your'e alone but not home
If art can't see, we're dying
We're dying, we're dying
Dying

Washed Away

I can't believe it, no I can't believe it
That we all nearly got our lives washed away
It's going away, yeah he's going away
But will he come back and break our beating hearts again?
I can't believe it, no I can't believe it
Oh after all the scars of rain it's now a sunny day
Like nature said, it belongs in the world and we just cling instead
What nature wants, it usually gets
It's coming like rain, yeah it's coming like rain
Wilder in the dark but with an infinite rage
Like fields of fire, like fields of fire
It dries all our tears before the barricades
Like nature said, it belongs in the world but we just cling instead
What nature wants, it usually gets
Sweet is nature's breast
A titan breathing
Beauty undressed
I can't believe it, no I can't believe it
He's crying in vain, yeah he's crying in vain
Now he's going away, now he's going away

When I'm Gone
04:43

Making dinner for one
The silence it now belongs
Static is reaching out
For a friend or a one night stand
Wild thoughts begin to matter
The rain outside it brings out laughter
Scorched from the sun of youth
We beat each other to the truth
When I’m gone who will have
My paintings and my clothes?
Those things that no one wanted
That only I could have loved
Will I make you any money
Or bring dust and grief?
A chance for eternal life
Is written all in vanity
A journey Impossible
Without the clothes of sanity
I close the book before we sleep
So you cannot finish your dreams
When I’m gone who will have
My paintings and my clothes?
Those things that no one wanted
That only I could have loved
Who will have the words
Who inherits this truth?
Will I make you any money
Or bring dust and grief?
When I’m gone who will have
my paintings and my clothes?
Those things that no one wanted
That only I could have loved
When I’m gone who will have
my paintings and my clothes?
Those things that no one wanted
That only I could have loved
Will I make you any money
Or just bring you dust and grief?
