Kissed By The Light

I've learned to give heed to my prayers,
that it may have been a fluke,
but my will can't be rebuked oh,
I got myself into this maze,
Still I know I'll find my way, even when I stumble I’ll go,
It's something that I can't explain,
when the truth is in your words,
you become a different girl oh,
Are lovers meant to be the same,
cause I crave your different spirit,
and your weakness in the heart,
I’m a leave this town, once again,
I'm a leave it like I've never been,
How a silly bird could kill a man,
I wanna tame this darkness I can't stand,
And you know it's right,
When you know it, Now you know it's right,
You've been kissed by the light,
And you know it's right,
When you know it, Now you know it's right,
You've been kissed by the light!
You recognised me as your own,
But I just reflect your past, and the fear clutched in your grasp oh,
You came and shook me from my throne,
Then you threw me in the dark, like I'm nothing to be had, so,
I rowed this river in the night,
and I remembered your words, when you said that you were burnt oh,
But you were judging out of fright,
and I questioned my own light,
like I should not ever,
I’m a leave this town, once again,
I'm a leave it like I've never been,
How a silly bird could kill a man,
I wanna tame this darkness I can't stand,
And you know it's right,
When you know it,
Now you know it's right,
You've been kissed by the light,
And you know it's right,
When you know it,
Now you know it's right,
You've been kissed by the light!
You’ve been kissed by the light!
(solo)
You’ve been kissed by the light!
(solo)
I’m a leave this town,
once again,
I'm a leave it like I've never been,
How a silly bird could kill a man,
Now you know it’s right,
Now you know,
You’ve been kissed by the light.

Slipping Under
03:58

Heart beats in a cage, in this life, oh I’ll oppose,
My thoughts to a melody on your mind,
Notes fall in a rage, in reverse, though I’ll impose,
Deaf beats to a symphony left behind,
So come now listen to the beat,
Let’s talk while the children are asleep,
And the things we’ll take and the things we’ll break,
And the house and the debts over our heads,
And I’m slipping under,
Yes I’m slipping under yeah,
At last, the strings the past, the things I tried and the blackened mass,
Bend down to form a letter,
I’ll write, the ink, the rasp, the maniac sleeps in the empty grasp,
A song to kill the lover,
So come now listen to the beat,
Let’s talk while the children are asleep,
And the things we’ll take and the things we’ll break,
And the house and the debts over our heads,
And I’m slipping under,
Yes I’m slipping under yeah,
You say that life is just science,
But your wits can’t explain,
Why we can feel, through waves of silence,
And still not be insane,
So come now listen to the beat,
Let’s talk while the children are asleep,
And the things we’ll take and the things we’ll break,
And the house and the debts over our heads ooh,
And I’m slipping under,
Yes I’m slipping under yeah,
And I’m slipping under,
And I’m slipping under.

Carcass of Dreams
03:43
|
|||
|
Left aside, for a while, on the margin of time,
Rusting clear, no one near, and her loneliness primes,
Cast away, in a fray, so as not to be seen,
For a truth, more than proof, it holds deep down within,
And you’ve stumbled across the trails, and you’ve picked up the phrase,
How you’re walkin’ down your sorrow,
I believe there’s something else left inside,
Something that no metal tainted hulk can hide,
I believe that only time allows,
Such a saddened, blue-devil clown to drown.
I believe it’s true,
I believe it’s you
I’ve lived along the shores, and I’ve beaten down the doors,
For a voice that I ignore, has led me on my way,
In the darkness of the sea, I’ve buried up this line,
And if you belong with me, I’ll spin it in a rhyme.
And you’ve stumbled across the trails, and you’ve picked up the phrase,
How you’re walkin’ down your sorrow,
I believe there’s something else left inside,
Something that no metal tainted hulk can hide,
I believe that only time allows,
Such a saddened, blue-devil clown to drown.
I believe it’s true,
I believe it’s you
Laying down a breath in a carcass of steal,
Made up the mantle of our dreams unreal,
Shining through the sun in it’s blissful haze,
Dazzling through the brazen walls a light invades,
I have been the outcast of my own,
Treading round the ground along which I have grown,
And there’s enough of life that I could not explain,
She showed me something else from which I could dream,
And I’ve seen you just this way,
oh I believe it’s true yeah,
I believe it’s you,
I believe there’s something else left inside,
Something that no metal tainted hulk can hide,
I believe that only time allows,
Such a saddened, blue-devil clown to drown,
And if you want me to,
Then I'll believe in you.

Tin Gods
04:16
|

|
Hear the cheers come from the planes,
And the stories,
That are running down the drain,
How it makes me feel I know, in the flow of the lights,
Lift our spirits high, as we spark up in the sky for a thousand sights,
And so we praise,
Tin gods,
And re-create
Their thoughts
And so we raise,
Our sons,
In golden rays,
Undone,
Here’s your heaven made of shades,
You won’t get used to,
It’s raining sounds of broken days, like it used to,
Till the dawn, sheds the summer’s night, calling blindly,
I got the colors rushing into the chemical blight,
And so we praise,
Tin gods,
And re-create,
Their thoughts
And so we raise,
Our sons,
In golden rays,
Undone,
When we come we stall and dull the fire,
Blind to the throng,
Tearing down the walls of our empire,
And so we fall,
And so we praise,
Tin gods,
And re-create
Their thoughts
And so we raise,
Our sons,
In golden rays,
Undone
