1. Hide And Seek
2. Revolution
3. A Nine Days Wonder
1. Starlite
Look at me A million pictures on the cenotaph Look at me There's nothing left but silent epitaphs Through reassembly I've come to deceive you Behind interpretations someone's untrue Look at me (look at me motherfucker) If you could see what I see I know that you would hate me
The wheel hits ground with a bare touch You just keep an ear to the ground Fly in the wind -- like revolution Time stands still, what will your mother say?
Don't save the day it's not over We fall for better or worse I can see the sparkling ice is breaking I've seen you got a speck of dust in your eye Act as if there's no tomorrow
Do what I will By no means there are no guards Promising a strong protection Lasting through a lifetime Hide and seek, what you will find Another day, another time Where love does not exist
Meet your fate at an arms length See the writings on the wall Scare away their exhortations Time stands still -- I'm flying
We stepped out of the brittle frame And I heard her as she came Through the city-streets And the lavish lover-suites Man standing next to man He's alone I see only faces I don't know I see faces staring Other faces staring Don't talk, don't tell We stepped out and sought for height And I looked for a single star Through a starlit sky And the fangles of sheets There's nothing to expect from this place We don't understand what is said We're human, we're alone So confused We've lost all our means And we'll lose Now the sight greys out And we wonder what we're doing in a place like this It's so bright outside In a non-white, flash-light way of Sometime Now, tomorrow, anytime I see faces staring Other faces staring Don't talk, don't tell We're waiting For morning No sign of it I'm listening Can't hear it Are we sure we didn't miss it? I see faces staring Other faces staring Don't talk, don't tell.
Look at me I never saw your starlit face And never heard the words you spoke Look at me In countless glints, so smoky gold, The days shift away leaving you here
Nothing said in your defence Life's a sacred remedy Head or tail, it's up to you
Sail close to the wind, take your risk No return, life's a game of gamble This time, I'm not playing to win Mind the trap, you will soon fall over [x2] Heal me; wouldn't you heal my wounded heart? Let the change begin This day, I promise I will stay I will stay and walk the way
Don't fall, stay awake I surrender Lie close until they've gone A nine days wonder Days will come; the old once are wiser, and better the truth Ambiguity speaking In and out of season the tide is turning It will be serving you right We dream of days even stranger Please stay, get into the rhymes Turning back, at one way or the other Proceed, the childhood's end has only begun [x2] You may run -- but you can't hide from the truth May you not rest until they are gone
4. Frozen
5. Deadland
6. Forever Is The World
Cold and risen from the grave Hidden years will tell no tales Now you seek what only heart can see Frozen in so many ways
Let the wind take care of gravity There's one big secret hidden, come with me Why should I want to leave, Unless you wanted me to go away
Drifting through the light inside A lucent image in the dark Fickle and dismayed Someone cast a shadow Blurring all the pictures on the pages
[Chorus 1:] Speak with a tongue that claims its kingdom, come what may... The stars came tumbling down Worn-out heroes Stepping into fields of firing grey
Into a different kind of view Not meant for human eyes Everything's dark and fades away This moment just opened my eyes, now I say: I never knew anything felt like this It has just begun
[Chorus:] Hide the pieces, I become the sun Shining through, what became of you Early morning, no time to lose Chills my heart, and I come undone Quiet timeless silhouette Forgotten fragments of my dreams Pleasure and disgust Shining golden figure in the background
My restless soul will dance in harmony In open air a subdued symphony I've set myself an aim to keep the territory that I claim [ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/t/theatre-of-tragedylyrics/deadland-lyrics.html ] I'll never let my kingdom fall There's nothing keeping us in here Abounded fear Let me be free...
[Chorus] [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2:] Speech of the deadland Let them hear the song is still alive Give me something I could sleep on Give me something like a dream... [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2] Stars came tumbling down Worn-out heroes Stepping into fields of firing grey [Chorus 2]
Please be aware of the change in your mind Everyone's telling lies Somewhere between every now and then Harmoniously facing the truth of your past I know by now, every night has its dawn Be aware and see I know by now, every night has its dawn Be aware and see And as your last day draws to an end Take my last good smile All I can do now is watch as you fall, Bid my last good bye There's an exception to every rule Don't trust the yellow light Constantly searching to find your way home The beauty's been lying right here all along Only Man ends. But forever's the world Just don't fall asleep So here we sway at the edge of the world Holding hands Clutching at straws, keep each other awake World will not end at this shift I never knew anything felt like this It has just begun... [x2]
4. A Distance There Is Come in out of the rain thou sayest - but thou ne'er step'st aside; And I am trapp'd A distance there is... None, save me and the bodkin - pitter-patter on the roof: Behold! - 'tis not the rain; thence me it has to be I will not drink thy vintage wine, my dear; Thou hast heed'd that I am of innocence, yet thou let'st thy lass into peril Thou let'st me be parched; My heart is of frailty, my pale skin is hued damask. When thou thy tears hast hidden, "Come back!", thou sayest There I soon am to be - but how am I to run when my bones, my heart! Thou hast me bereaft! But run thou sayest; I run And there and then I behold that a time will come when I again dead will be. Thou tell'st me to leave without delay I leave with my bodkin and my tears in my hands; Lo! - the shadows, the sky - descending; So by a dint of smite I gait ere I run and melt together with dusk. In my mind in which is this event, But it seems as if naught is to change anyway?! After all these years thou left'st me down in the emotional depths The sombre soaked velvet-drape is hung upon me, Turning my feelings away from our so ignorant world: All the beatiful moments shared, deliberatlely push'd aside ...a distance there is...
2. Automatic Lover Don't you wanna end up with this mister? He is just being nice with his kisses and he Thinks you're not one of the smart ones Say it darling Doesn't seem like you want that kind of honey, honey From the automatic lover's store To the first floor of your backroom door From the spin-spin of the fickle swirl In a freak-freak dance of the showroom girl From the window of the red lit shop To the hop-hop of the fluid swap To the bang-bang when the wallet's gone And the run-run when the heat is on From the automatic lover's store To the first floor of your homeroom door And the cry-cry of your better half To the laugh-laugh at your minuscule staff From the plead-plead when you really want in To the knead-knead 'fore the blanket-spin From the flush-flush of the bed-time art To the raging heart when she doesn't do her part Don't you wanna end up with this mister? He is just being nice with his kisses and he Thinks you're not one of the smart ones Say it darling Doesn't seem like you want that kind of honey, honey Out the door-door to the dance-dance hall To the bawl-bawl of the bar room brawl From the drink-drink until on the floor To the blink-blink of the girl next door To the rock-rock until off the hinge To the luck-luck to complete the binge From the rush-rush when you're feeling bored To the second floor of your homeroom door To the plead-plead when you really want in And the knead-knead 'fore the blanket-spin From the fug-fug of the bedroom air To the hug-hug of the professional lair To the automatic lover's store Where it feel-feels much less like a chore To the lick-lick of the lipstick lip To the electric trip of the perfect strip Hey you are you oh-oh are you I owe you a go-go are you Nothing but an oh-oh yeah I owe you a kissy baby Hey you are you oh-oh are you I owe you a go-go are you Nothing but an oh-oh yeah I owe you a kissy baby.
5. Motion I run as fast as I can To get a ride To ride on this wave is all I dream of I want to catch up with the distant sight I create my speed the way I breathe I can move I can fly I can fly, I can float, I can fly I can groove, I can move so high in the sky So high in the sky I swim as far as I can To reach the tide To be in that wave is all I long for I take my power from my own arms I sustain this pain 'cause I can't cry I swim as far as I can To reach the tide To be in that wave is all I long for I can move I can fly I can fly, I can float, I can fly I can groove, I can move so high in the sky So high in the sky.
3. Machine Look up here Look down there I am the new man I'm tangled in wires Chipset adept Memory load Keep your vogue code that all have Tomorrow's world we've all seen Keep your modern ways And keep your bugs The Metal Man is here to stay Talk talk You say I only work, all night and day Talk talk Do say 'Use me, I'm cheap to rent' Computerised Voice synthesised Call me the mech man In a world of machines What can I do but to serve Store the data and calculate Speak and spell and operate Engineer the rail and motorway Automaton of yesterday Talk talk You say I only work, all night and day Talk talk Do say 'Use me, I'm cheap to rent'
6. New Man Broken bottles, and a broken nose No reason not to lounge in a pose I could stand in shade light and laugh at you You were wrong - it's happened to you too This is the new circuit Tell me of your pain 'Shove you around?', now close the door This is not love This is my sort of softly touching you A Brownian motion of whacks on your face 'Who are you?' Hat-stand man-man in a fancy suit He's a laugh, it's him and Jim and his prostitute Gold teeth spat out onto the concrete street Get into the car with its vinyl seats This is the new circuit Tell me of your pain 'Shove you around?', now close the door This is not love This is my sort of softly touching you A Brownian motion of whacks on your face 'who are you?' This is not the new man 'who are you?' This is not the new man This is not love
