Song of the End
04:39
|
|||
Now it’s the end of time
No more straight lines
There’s nothing to know
And there’s nowhere to go
The sun is burning out
The air is getting thin
But there’s still a universe
That can be found within
The end will come for us
As though we never were
All this I can see
Now I know my worth
Now there is no future
Nor is there a past
Now I search for a place
Where there’s no first and no last

Further Up, Further In
05:03
|
|||
You stumble through the streets, drenched in rain
To find a way to ease this mortal pain
Somewhere far away, the sun is setting fast
Sometime years away, you think about the past
Somewhere far away, she looks down on you alone
Living out your life on this tiny stone
Melancholy minds pass you by in darkness
They’re empty souls with no sins to confess
Somewhere inside them a spark is still glowing
Somewhere inside them a love may be growing
Light years away, a star implodes in silence
If we could see it, the mysteries might make some sense
Somewhere ahead, you foretell your end
Stars, as they fall, lead you further up and further in
Now comes a message from another world
From the mind of a lonely girl
Somewhere outside she felt you calling
Somehow she knew that you were falling
Sometime far ahead, you witness a birth
and you’re finally glad that you graced this Earth
Somewhere ahead, you foretell your end
Stars, as they fall, lead you further up and further in

Black Rain Fall
04:55
|
|||
The Earth keeps on turning
As empires rise and fall
No lessons ever learned
By man who stands so tall
Hear the voices of the millions
Sacrificed in vain
If you really want to
You can feel their pain
Let it come down
Let the black rain fall
Let it come down
Bring judgement on us all
The ice is quickly melting
But profits must be made
All things that live and die
Are just a balance on a page
The few, the lucky ones
Rule over all as kings
But the spirits of the fallen
You can hear them sing
Let it come down
Let the black rain fall
Let it come down
Bring judgement on us all
The Earth recoils at what we've done to it
The unborn cry to us for rescue
The hand of time will sweep the record clean
Yet you still ask us
What does this all mean?
We told you
Let it come down
Let the black rain fall
Let it come down
Bring judgement down on us all
We told you it was love
We told you it was kindness

We Were Young
04:34
|
|||
When we were young
We sat up in a tree
Gazing down on the busy
The busy world below
At peace
When we were young
We ran through the cemetery
Over the grass
And hiding behind the bushes
We were alive
When we were young
All things were our friends
The sun and wind and clouds and sky
Our companions
We were real
And now that we're old
Let's go back in time
Let's let go of all the pain
All the pain and sorrow
And be free to be children again

Our Anthem (99)
05:28
|
|||
When we were young they told us that
We’d inherit utopia
That they’d make with their blood, sweat, and brains
Now we’re older nothing’s changed
Now your wars have all been won
You’re hiding in your mansion in the sun
The sun still looks the same
This world will never change
We try to get used to it
Postwar dreams soon turn to rust
Compassion changes to mistrust
Our leaders tell us to get used to it
Now our light is growing dim
And our poisons fill the air
It is a legacy your child will find so hard to bear
But don’t feel bad if we don’t seem so grateful to you
It’s not like we could have done any better
The sun still looks the same
This world will never change
We’ll have to get used to it
As we watch our world devoured
By lust for money and for power
We can’t get used to it
They told us we’d all walk on the moon
They told us all poverty would end soon
An end to toil, an end to pain
But their dreams were washed away in acid rain
The sun still looks the same
This world will never change
We’ll have to get used to it
Now our souls no longer fly
And no one’s asking why
They’ll just get used to it
Another century rolls by
And we’re no closer to the sky
We’ll just get used to it
The stars are still so far away
and this distance we can’t change
We’ll never get used to it

Moor Spirits
05:04
|
|||
Now as you lie down to sleep, little one
The bloody phantoms of the night, hear them come
Gathering outside your room
Whispering words of doom
A cold wind blows across these barren hills
Faint voices from the other world call you still
Come with us, they moan
Whispering, sobbing cold as stone
Bar the door, build the fire
This is the night they come to life
All who sinned, all who killed
Raped and maimed and felt no shame
In a wave of darkest hate
Like a tide over this land
If you let them in, they'll take you away
To dwell in the shade
Till the end of time
Open your eyes and have no fear, little one
Come out from under the sheets, now we are come
Gathered around your bed
Now you must join the dead

Ring in the New Age
06:07
|
|||
Under grey skies, the skyscrapers loom
Beacons blazing like rabid eyes
Factories lurk there on the shore
Always working, always wanting more
Our gazes fixed to our screens
In data lies our faith renewed
Financial gods have blessed our lives
With promises of more to buy
We deny our destiny
We only believe in what we see
False mantras fall from our lips
We see heaven in a microchip
Ring in the bright new age
No saviours to hang on a cross
No words to soothe us as we die
Just product placement all around
This empty heart is what we’ve found
We build vessels of steel and glass
And we tie ourselves to the mast
Gaze deep into the siren’s eyes
We cower under accusing skies
We dreamed of heaven or rebirth
We never looked for ours on earth
Cried out for love on radio waves
Man kills but money saves

The City Hum
04:39
|
|||
Somewhere in this still cold night
A drug enters a vein
Somewhere in this sea of lost souls
Someone cries a lover’s name
Down in a lakeside park
A body lies so still
While up in the penthouse
The champagne starts to chill
Hear the city, hear it hum
Somewhere in a stairwell
A knife flashes through the air
Somewhere a man with head in hands
Cries oh why can’t life be fair
Meanwhile in a bright-lit room
New life opens its eyes
And over in a lonely bed
A spark rises and then it dies
Hear the city, hear it hum
Stay with me, my only one
Let’s make the most of our time
Let’s take what we can take
From the moments we’ve been given
From the errors we have made
For the end is surely coming
The sharp edge of the blade
Suspended over our heads
My baby don’t you be afraid
On the northern border
Lights dwindle and fade
The vast and empty answer
to the prayers that we have made
While underneath the distant stars
A million lives start and end
Please don’t ever wipe away
the lies on which we depend
Let the city, let it hum

This Is Not the End
05:22
|
|||
Life is a deceptive span
It's here and then it's gone
So all the things I want to say
Will be in this song
We feel our way as we go
All I know is you are here
And when it's over for me
I hope that you'll still find me near
I hope the dream is real
This life is not the end
I can't believe that we must part
That I won't still be here with you
Some people live in loneliness
In fear of never finding the one
But can they imagine the sorrow
That comes when the song's been sung
I hope the dream is real
This life is not the end
I can't believe that we must part
That I won't still be here with you
This is not the end

After the Fall
04:11
|
|||
You're not the only one who finds this life hard
The vision of perfection still so far away
The stories your mum told you
When you were young
And by your bed the songs she sang
Told of a child under a guiding star
We still hope to find our place
Far away from the toil and waste
There's a piece of land that's going cheap
The ferry only comes once a week
The hills roll on till they reach the sea
That's the only place where we can be
You can keep searching here for solace
But you need a place where you can finally rest
Sometimes it feels like the weight of a thousand years
All the people who learned to restrain their tears
Still we're hoping to find the right way
To say to each other the things that we mean to say
We wander dazed through long grey halls
Before the flood, but after the fall
We still hope to change this place
And make our lives more than toil and waste
