Icarus II Lyrics
4 ContributorsIcarus II LyricsIn the darkness I rise, long before
The dawn
I was dreaming of home and the life I
Led
But now I hear the sound of the engines
Roar
And I crave the embrace of my
Empty bed
Where I'm safe (there I'm safe)
But the call is clear, and the task is
Set
And my enemies wait in the dark sky
Do they fear the same fear
Do they dream like us
And do they long for the day when it's
Over
And they're safe
Now we're cruising above the horizon
Never knowing if we will return
In a moment we'll loose the
Destruction
And we'll justify all that we burn
Here the air is cold, but my thoughts
Are clear
And so I'm wondering why I must be
Here
For the evil that can come
From the heart of a man
Must be answered in kind 'til it
Disappears
And we're safe
Now we're cruising above the horizon
Never knowing if we will return
In a moment we'll rain down
Destruction
And we'll justify all that we burn
Here they come
I'm dodging all the tracers, sky is full of
Lead
I can see the pilots' faces
Safety in our numbers, eagles
Overhead
We are in the sight of aces
Flak, bursting all around
Friends, going down in flames
And now we're hit, it's happened
This is what I feared
Something's telling me my time has
Come
Though it should be panic, I can feel
A peace
Strangely, now I know my purpose...
Hey boys! Hey, get out while you
Can
I'll try to take us home
I'm going home...
Grand Fun Alley Lyrics
3 ContributorsGrand Fun Alley LyricsI got an attitude, it's a little rude
A humdinger
I'm in a dangerous place;
I need to win the race
It's a dead ringer
I'm on a windin' road;
I got an overload
It's a redline
Life is movin' fast
But it can never last
When everything's so fine
Grand fun... grand fun alley
I'm having so much fun
Grand fun... grand fun alley
Here in the alley
Ain't had my fill of fun;
I'm underneath the gun
Time is flyin'
If you pass me by
You know I can't deny
That I'm still tryin'
There's a turn ahead;
I'm runnin' out of lead
Feel like retreating
And the fuel gauge is down;
I'm gettin' out of town
Can't take a beating
Grand fun... grand fun alley
I'm back in the alley again
Grand fun... grand fun alley
Here at the end of time
Grand fun... grand fun alley
I'm still havin' so much fun
Grand fun... grand fun alley
I'm back in the alley
If you wait too long
You can't afford the wrong
It's a doozy
When the times are good
They still cut you down
Just like an Uzi
If the price is high
You better look to the sky
'Cause there's a call in
Everything's gonna change;
It's getting very strange
So take it all in
Grand fun... grand fun alley
I'm havin' so much fun
Grand fun... grand fun alley
I'm kicking back in the alley again
Grand fun... grand fun alley
Here at the end of time
Grand fun... grand finale
I'm back in the alley
(instrumental to fade out)
Look at the Time Lyrics
2 ContributorsLook at the Time LyricsLook at the time
Slipping by as if we never knew it at all (knew it at all)
Glancing around
Seeing faces so familiar
I should recall (I should recall)
Seems we should know; (seems we should know)
Where do they go? (where do they go?)
I wanted you to know...
It's waiting (spoken)
Year after year (year after year)
I get used to feelings that were not there before (not there before)
What do we fear? (what do we fear?)
Setting off to find ourselves on some distant shore (some distant shore)
Seems we should know (seems we should know)
Where do we go? (where do we go?)
I wanted you to know...
Still waiting (spoken)
In the spotlight (drifting, moving)
It's a sad sight (testing, proving)
Like a fading glory (every word)
In the twilight (we're shifting, losing)
Doesn't seem right (gaining, choosing)
Can this be the story? (what we've heard)
Ohhhh
Look at these days (look at these days)
Flyin' by so fast it makes my head turn around (head turn around)
Long as I gaze (long as I gaze)
It's hard to find an open door that's on solid ground (on solid ground)
Seems we should feel (seems we should feel)
All that is real (all that is real)
I wanted you to know...
Still waiting (spoken)
(instrumental to fade out)
Disappearing Skin Tight Blues Lyrics
3 ContributorsDisappearing Skin Tight Blues LyricsI'm livin' above the fault line
Like a bird up on a wire
I come in from the cold at night
And I stand next to the fire
Now, most times I can win one
But someday I could lose
Then I'll have to start all over again
And shake off all these blues
'Cause you tore down all the fences
And you put me in the clear
Then I left my old skin behind
And I started to disappear
Now there's something in the kitchen
And it's cookin' mighty fine
There's a good one in the oven
And I'm sure gonna get in line
In the interest of my nutrition
I'm about to take the plunge
I'm gonna take the whole thing in
And I'm gonna soak it up like a sponge
Need a map with new direction
And a compass for the turn
Then I'll take that drink of water
And let the old one burn
Oh, how you move me
You turn me 'round
Nothing to hold me down
Just like a magnet
You pull me in
Got my instant reservation
When I'm feelin' empty
You make me full
More love than I'll ever hold
You touch me right
Where my heart is dull
I'm gonna shed this skin and disappear
Well I open the box and look inside
And I don't like what I see
I turn the key and take a ride
In a wind that's blowin' free
In the interest of my education
I'm about to read the book
Then I'll open my eyes in the morning
And I'll take another look
Need a map with new directions
And a compass for the turn
Then I'll take that drink of water
And let the old one burn
Oh, how you move me
You turn me 'round
Nothing to hold me down
Just like a magnet
You pull me in
Got my instant reservation
When I'm feelin' empty
You make me full
More love than I'll ever hold
You touch me right
Where my heart is dull
I'm gonna shed this skin and disappear
(instrumental)
Oh, how you move me
You turn me 'round
Nothing to hold me down
Just like a magnet
You pull me in
Got my instant reservation
When I'm feelin' empty
You make me full
More love than I'll ever hold
You touch me right
Where my heart is dull
I'm gonna shed this skin and disappear
(instrumental to fade out)
Distant Vision Lyrics
3 ContributorsDistant Vision LyricsOn a night as I lay sleeping
In a dream I saw the shore
Of a distant land where promise lay in wait
And I heard the sound of voices
Of a million hungry souls
Now it comes to me to lead them to the gate
But I am just a man
Not worthy of this plan
With a strength that's not my own
I must rise
And I...will bear the light
(and the vision leads me onward)
That blind....men have their sight
I'd sail a thousand seas to make it so
To the Kings I gave the mission
In the hope that they would share
In the joy of setting countless captives free
But the lust for gold and power
Is luring us away
From a calling that began in purity
And I'm still just a man
Not worthy of this plan
With a strength that's not my own
I must rise
And I...will bear the light
(and the vision leads me onward)
That blind....men have their sight
I'd sail a thousand seas to make it so
Now a tempest rages in my heart
As this fever furies on
Soon these islands promise rest and hope
My answers wait beyond their shore
Dream on...
Hungry eyes are standing on the sand
They beckon us to bring the tide
Sovereign hand must hold me now
I plead with you
Be my solace and my guide...by my side
And I...will walk with you
On the shores of the land of promise that
Blind...men see you too
I'd sail a thousand seas to make it so
Byzantium Lyrics
3 ContributorsByzantium LyricsCity resting on a hill
Can your walls repel the tide of change
Under Pantocrator's rule
Did your golden domes reveal
The frailty of the consequence
The conqueror was real
Where the Emperor once reigned
Only shadows of the glories remain
No one sings your plaintive song
Of the Kontakion strain
Echoing through heaven's gate
Too lovely to sustain
We're looking back to see your frescoed walls
Where is the road that takes us to Byzantium
Once your borders had no end
And your dream was like a shining light
To the nations you surround
Did your golden domes reveal
The frailty of the consequence
The conqueror was real
We're looking back to see your frescoed walls
Where is the road that takes us to Byzantium
We're looking back to see your frescoed walls
Where is the road that takes us to Byzantium...
