the spinning wheels
will be my friends
and all my heroes
i have read
all along they said
they said i could not fail
but i don't see too clearly today
and i can capture
this mad youth
i'll carry the torch that i choose
i lived underground
cold beneath the rails
but will i live to tell the tale
when i am free
i can feel the arrows fly
back to me
the spinning wheels
will be what's left
and all my heroes
are long dead
all along they said
they said i could not fail
but will i live to tell the tale

A Thousand Years
02:59
|
|

early morning grey
across the earth
days like these you wonder
what's life worth
if i lived a thousand years
i'm sure i'd still be here
the shape of my heart
the fall of every tear
i'm reaching out to you
the thread's so thin i fear
that i will lose
what little i have made my own
if you could set me free
i'd owe you the world
i'd owe you everything
oh what will life bring to me
every step i take is like a
whisper no one hears
the planet moves and well
here comes the sun
days like these you think
what have we done
i lived a thousand years
of shadow and light
the infinite space
the infinite time

The Sound of Rain
03:43
|
|
||
|
tell me how does it feel
to be the last of your kind
surroundings are familiar
but for the sound of rain in the sky
a distant sea is laughing
it's known you all along
all this time it's been watching
and waiting for your call
water is rising up and filling the valley
and though it looks so beautiful
it's calling to me
a new river is running through these trunks
and washing all away
the last of the remnants
of fall and summer days
it's far too much to carry on
i need to reach high ground
looking for what we have lost
can we save what we've found
follow me down a sunlit trail
i will return
follow me and i'll come back to you
i will return

Stainless Skies
04:25
|
|
||
|
live through the storm
it's raging all around
when and why did we first start out
and if it feels like a dream
i wake it's like another dream
all of these waves are pressing
down on me
way up above the clouds the planes
don't need to face the rain
and so they race to the sun
and now that's where i'd like to be
to see as i have seen
with stainless skies around me
beauty lives
at the start of the day
this side of the earth
wakes up once again
but if the weather will shut out
the light and warmth that i need now
can you show me a
way to leave the ground

Where I Came From
03:18
|
|
||
|
i'll tell you where i came from
the town was small
but the roads were long
i fell into life
i fell into yours
and though i meant well
i was not strong
who will hold me now
who will love me now
who will judge me now
who will leave me now
summer nights in a haze
faces worn like a masquerade
i saw you shine
i saw you fall
and i could not get through at all
i sat alone
i'd forgotten the past
i heard your song it brought me back
to when i could not see so far
and every day i tried too hard
now the souls are wandering
here and there after all they sing
they're reflections of the
ones who've gone
faded names on the
walls where they came from

hey now it's all going by me
going by so fast i can barely see
sometimes when i'm stopped
i catch a glimpse of
something i'm not
i look up to the sky
all my life i've left behind me
memories and dreams
i always thought they'd try to find me
at first they did but
now as the highway greets a friend
i welcome the start i welcome the end
i'm putting my foot right down again
hey when the nights get longer
i know i can't go on forever
sometimes when i sleep
i really wake up
everyone i meet won't look me in the eyes
all my life what stood against me
did i give up too soon
sometimes i'd fight so hard to win
only to see it fail
as the highway greets a friend
hey now there's something turning me
hey i feel i just might see
all my life it stands before me
my friends and enemies
what can i do but live again
what can i do but
try as the highway greets a friend

Reflections in the Lake
03:23
|
|
||
|
watching all the time for
what i cannot see
the light that has found them or
what they do believe
a way they hold it seems alive
a lie to me oh but still i could try
reflections in the lake from above
and we don't even try to see enough
oh all that could be
i haven't spoken a word or
written down a thought for so long
thought i'd forget what went wrong
but when i think of moonlight the
time was so alive
i try to move on
i tried to move on
as i recall you'd hold your head down
but you'd still act so above them
that you would laugh out loud
reflections in the lake from above
never even tried to see enough
reflections in the lake should do no harm
and now who is this sweet soul on my arm

Everything to Lose
05:38
|
|
||
|
the last time we looked into your eyes
it seemed as if the hope had taken flight
but you can hide
and place the perfect smile to fool and lie
beauty is on holiday
he's everything to lose
and what lies before him
is so hard to choose
no safe way, to begin
to live again
he's looking for, looking for
someone who will show him a way out
distance you have felt for so long
it's ticking through your mind and
it feels wrong
you're pretending and it starts to
feel comfortable and warm
the prison door remains open
the last time

Further Out
10:01
|
|
||
|
the angle of the setting sun
hit me in such a way
it took me right back
to when i was not alone
we were not alone
it's you i was talking to
how could we know
that our lives are so short
will they be long enough for us
fly on, fly on through the night
ride on, ride on to reach the sky
who would have thought that we could get further out
and the stars that we would never have dreamt about
mist in our eyes and what is realized
will we become what we believe
once we were truly found
i remember the day
you looked like you asked why
did i leave without you
what kind of replacement
could i really find
because i finally learned
there is so little time to waste

Was immediately hooked on the music. I had no idea what to expect, no preconceived notion of what it would sound like. It’s so great to make this new discovery. Great music, multi layered and unashamedly progressive. Fantastic songs, beautifully constructed, played and sung. Get some 4xl T-shirts made Please!
