Welcome to the Show

Take the stage and find your light
Say farewell to the other side
The gate is open tonight
Nothing’s real and no one dies
A trick of light in bullet time
Abroad and ready to bite
When the lightning strikes
Evolution will be televised
Playing god with a loaded mind
Welcome to the show
Welcome to the show
One door closes, another’s wide
Taking turns on the carpet ride
Gloves up ready to fight
Call to arms in infrasound
Running lies in a martyr’s crown
A holographic delight
When the lightning strikes
Evolution will be televised
Playing god with a loaded mind
Welcome to the show
Welcome to the show
Where the wild things play
Standing cold on the outside
Always looking in
The angels all blew away
Lying in wait for the wave to fall
With the damn about to break
Sins of old stir awake
Fallen stars all around
Willows place the tears within my eyes
Slow, the kraken wakes
Fall into her arms
When the lightning strikes
Evolution will be televised
Playing god with a loaded mind

Apollo One Three

This vacuum’s feeling colder
Give me a sign to help me navigate the way
It’s just beyond our borders
You’re so near and yet so very far away
Signal’s getting weaker
A memory, to hang on every word you say
Our words succumb to gravity
Don’t leave me in the dark
Tell me what to do
Our frequency’s unstable
Show me you’re here so I’m not talking to myself
This atmosphere is palpable
Life support is just a childish game, we play
Time is burning all reserves
Narrow windows hide the periphery
Seconds slowing, stretching out
Falling down to earth
The ocean meets us there
The oxygen is bleeding out
We’ll be orbiting on any given day
Open the parachute to let me down
When the stars go out, in our space
We’re waiting to be saved
The oxygen is bleeding out
We’ll be orbiting on any given day
Open the parachute to let me down
When the stars go out, in our space
We’re waiting to be saved

Someone Else's Dream
05:05
|

Shed a light on who we are
Picture clouds and distant stars
We are done
The air remains the same for everyone
Lines in faces, gold plated scars
Although broken, won’t fall apart
Bleed within
Listen to the voice in everything
Tangled webs and works of art
March in time with wounded hearts
Dancing blame
The paths they lead won’t ever be the same
Painted secrets and single lives
Damaged people, forgotten crimes
All for love
The burned still feel the fire when it’s gone
Waters break below
And I will always be there,
I’ll be your ghost
I’ll walk through your walls
Trust is not a cloak you wear
To keep you warm
Names in sand meet angry tides
What was lost we’ll never find
Beat as one
The world will not slow down for anyone
Picture postcard, idyllic life
Made up ties that rarely bind
Voices thin
The words don’t sound the same in every key
Waters break below
And I will always be there,
I’ll be your ghost
I’ll walk through your walls
Trust is not a cloak you wear
To keep you warm
I push my face in the river
Cry my name against the stream
No more pain than I’ve been given
Living someone else’s dream
Waters break below
And I will always be there,
I’ll be your ghost
I’ll walk through your walls
Trust is not a cloak you wear
To keep you warm
Waters break below
And I will always be there,
I’ll be your ghost
I’ll walk through your walls
Trust is not a cloak you wear
To keep you warm
I push my face in the river
Cry my name against the stream
No more pain than I’ve been given
Living someone else’s dream

You Against the World
07:40
|
|||
Breath deep with nerves intact
Standing in line for a miracle
Light up your torch
Blow out the horns
Watch the walls start falling
Dig down and don’t lose track
Rising back up to begin again
Stand your ground
Shoulders down
When the hordes come crawling
Fast forward, don’t look back
Marching in time to a broken drum
Step out of line
Light up the sky
When the bombs start dropping
Shield wall and watch the flank
Count the eye shine in no man’s land
Hold up the crown
Flags are down
When the heads start rolling
And it’s you against the world
Only you can start the burn
They will see
We will sanctify the moment we break free
When the wolves control the words
Only we can write the verse
We will be
The players fighting on, the right side of victory.
The last dying embers crack
Awaiting the gale to ignite again
Negate the rules
The king of fools
Against the last man standing
The egregore attack
Marking us out to be prey again
We’re out of time
Stay in the fight
While the world’s dissolving
How long before we break
Baiting the trap with a thousand men
A witch on fire
No safety wire
With the hammer falling
Embrace the shadow black
Making amends with the other self
No room for fear
No dying tear
And it’s you against the world
Only you can start the burn
They will see
We will sanctify the moment we break free
When the wolves control the words
Only we can write the verse
We will be
The players fighting on, the right side of victory.
We are the catalyst
We are the catalyst
We are the catalyst
We are the catalyst
And it’s you against the world
Only you can start the burn
They will see
We will sanctify the moment we break free
When the wolves control the words
Only we can write the verse
We will be
The players fighting on, the right side of victory.
And it’s you against the world
Only you can start the burn
They will see
We will sanctify the moment we break free
When the wolves control the words
Only we can write the verse
We will be
The players fighting on, the right side of victory.

In the Deep End
10:02
|

In the deep end
Bouncing echoes off the wreckage laid to rest
Siren calling, questions from the shelf
A thousand eyes becoming you
At the world’s end
There be dragons trailing luminescent threads
Predationary whispers in the dark
Ancient rimes and solitude
The days were simple then
Rolling dice with the creatures of the calm
Who knew when
Our finger-painted ship
Would run aground, a silent raising of alarm
In the deep end
Bouncing echoes off the wreckage laid to rest
At the world’s end
There be dragons trailing luminescent threads
Treading water over bones
Loosen up this sentence hung about my neck
Plain to see,
It’s never you but me
The devil makes light work for wandering eyes
Misdirection with the tide
Who’s to blame, if this bird no longer flies
Journey south
On these broken wings
The storm sets in
Shot through with a bow
Fathoms weep, our bodies drinking in the rain
We fall asleep
Currents hide beneath
Mirrored faces all reflecting widow’s pain
In the deep end
Bouncing echoes off the wreckage laid to rest
At the world’s end
There be dragons trailing luminescent threads
Treading water over bones
Loosen up this sentence hung about my neck
Plain to see,
It’s never you but me
The devil makes light work for wandering eyes
Misdirection with the tide
Who’s to blame, if this bird no longer flies
Journey south
On these broken wings
The storm sets in
At the world’s end
There be dragons trailing luminescent threads
Predationary whispers in the dark
Ancient rimes and solitude
Treading water over bones
Loosen up this sentence hung about my neck
Plain to see,
It’s never you but me
The devil makes light work of wandering eyes
Misdirection with the tide
Who’s to blame, if this bird no longer flies
Journey south
On these broken wings
The storm sets in

Immortal
07:50
|

Days forever long
Pleading to stay outside
Flat out, running home
Trying to beat the streetlights
Dinner’s getting cold
Upstairs and close the door tight
Turn the power on
Needle on the A-side
We’re lost in gatefolds
And Roger Dean skies
Vinyl halos
Alive on 45
We are
We are immortal
We are
We are immortal
We are
We are immortal
The band plays on and on
T-shirt on the clothesline
A faded jester’s tear
Eddie on the hillside
The lamb is almost down
Bonnie on the highway
Frankie’s all in red
A bath, because it’s Sunday
We’re lost in gatefolds
And Roger Dean skies
Vinyl halos
Alive on 45
We are
We are immortal
We are
We are immortal
We are
We are immortal
We are
We are immortal
We are
We are immortal
We are
We are immortal
The birds have fed and flown
And the years have had their toll
Where did all the time go
Although the denim’s worn
And the nights are getting on
The music lives forever young
We are
We are immortal
We are
We are immortal
We are
We are immortal
We are
We are immortal
We are
We are immortal
We are
We are immortal
We are
We are immortal
We are
We are immortal
We are
We are immortal
We are
We are immortal
We are
We are immortal
We are
We are immortal

Goldst*R

Tonne-up on a Gold Star
At least that’s what he’ll tell them
A nineteen sixties film star
His four-stroke piece of heaven
Fuel tank rattling empty
A farmhouse glow in the distance
Counting corners through black trees
His prayers carried on air
Chrome Gold Star flying away into the night
He dreams of waking but can’t open his eyes
On hallowed wheels he rides
Machine and man alive
He pulls up into the courtyard
To a welcome party for kings
Red garland hung on his headlight
A promise, he’ll swing by again
One week later he comes back
No person there to be found
Leading out from the back porch
A trail of blood on the ground
Chrome Gold Star flying away into the night
He dreams of waking but can’t open his eyes
On hallowed wheels he rides
Machine and man alive
Chrome Gold Star flying away into the night
He dreams of waking but can’t open his eyes
On hallowed wheels he rides
Machine and man alive.
Dripping from the leaves
The trail goes deeper
Faces in the trees
Pushing forwards
Voices in the mist
Darkness closing in
Drawing him inside
No way back again
They will honour him
Forest takes him in
The way ahead divides
A tyre picked out by the light
Within the weeds and vines
Gold Star trapped inside
Wrapped around the bars
A rider rooted to the tank
Red petals all around
His own face looking back
A crown upon his head
Branches growing from his eyes
Screaming at the stars
Machine and man entwined
Tonne up on a Goldstar
At least that’s what he remembers
Standing in the courtyard
Red garland held in his hands
Tonne up on a Goldstar
At least that’s what he remembers
Standing in the courtyard
Red garland held in his hands
