Album Lyrics
1. The Wicked Symphony
You’ll be running out of miracles
Like I’m running out of dreams
Madness lurking into my left
Angels faint in front of me
And I see eyes to the right
I hear a promise resound
Gold and diamonds, love and fame
And music meant to remain
You’ve been dying for glory
You’ve been looking for love
Why don’t we read the signs
When we’re about to get lost?
Oh, a seeker enthralled by a flame
Eventually home to his pain
The Great Unbeloved
You reach for the final stage
Hey man in your hideaway
Where do we go from here?
Heroes in the tragedy
Down-home just a memory
Where do we go
When the world gets in the way?
Way down to the hide away, afflatus Divine!
Your hands and a wicked symphony
Hey now to the hideaway
Lock up the rain for a wicked symphony
Don’t you give up on your emotions
Don’t you abandon your despair
If you deny what you desire
This will have been just a mystery play
There’ll be nowhere to go
Just oblivion, we’re so close to reach out
Close to fall, make up or break up or crawl
You are striving for beauty
For a song to remain
A final touch and the spirit you have cited
Holds on to the reins
I feel how I’m losing my ground
A dancer enthralled by a sound
The smoke clears away
I’ll reach for the final stage
Hey man in your hideaway
Where do we go from here?
Heroes in the tragedy
Down-home just a memory
Where do we go
When the world gets in the way?
Way down to the hide away, afflatus Divine!
Your hands and a wicked symphony
Hey now to the hideaway
Lock up the rain for a wicked symphony
Oh I can hear it, I can hear it
Oh I can hear it, I, I, I, I…
I can hear it, yeah
I’m dying for a sign
You can turn your face away
can pretend you don’t hear it
How long have you been begging on your knees?
And now that you’re near it
Won’t you be damned if you defy what you’re given
Mercury of salvation
The colors for the eyes of the world
We’ll be kings for generations
Hey man in your hideaway
Where do we go from here?
Heroes in the tragedy
Down-home just a memory
Where do we go
When the world gets in the way?
Way down to the hide away, afflatus Divine!
Your hands and a wicked symphony
Hey now to the hideaway
Lock up the rain for a wicked symphony
2. Wastelands
A moment of glory
The blink of an eye and it’s all gone
You hide in confinement
Dark is the cell that you call home
We pretend to be blind
everytime it hurts to see
You, you close your eyes
To blink the night away
At ease in the wastelands
You, you’re dead and blind
You sanctify the way
Blindfold in the wastelands
Don’t tell me in pain
The end doesn’t justify the means
Spado, ascetic
It’s easy to sermonize in jealousy
Now I’m off to life
I’m changing sides
Your final goodbye
You, you close your eyes
To blink the tears away
Love hurts in the wastelands
You, you’re old and blind
You sacrifice it all
Lost in the wastelands
You, you close your eyes
To blink the night away
At ease in the wastelands
You, you’re dead and blind
You sanctify the way
Blindfold in the wastelands
3. Scales of Justice
Predetermination, belief
Veracity of incidents
Reconciliation
Between justice and tomorrow
You’re innocent
It’s only human to just close your eyes
Blinding fury, part of paradise
Heaven justifies
To take your eyes off the drag
Walking to the block
At the scaffold scales held even
To take your eyes off the drag
Walking to the block
Look away, scales held even
You owe the power and your pace
To the brute that’s running after you
Humiliation’s growing hate
Righteous anger driving you
Cut off the hand
That tries to keep me back
Blinding fury, a piece of paradise
Cause heaven justifies
To take your eyes off the drag
Walking to the block
At the scaffold scales held even
To take your eyes off the drag
Walking to the block
Look away, scales held even
Just close your eyes, just look away
What you don’t want to know
Ain’t gonna hurt you
Time passes by, we all die anyway
And no nothing remains
Whatever you say, whatever you do
To take your eyes off the drag
Walking to the block
At the scaffold scales held even
To take your eyes off the drag
Walking to the block
Look away, scales held even
To take your eyes off the drag
Walking to the block
At the scaffold scales held even
To take your eyes off the drag
Walking to the block
Look away, scales held even, oh!
4. Dying for an Angel
You’re awake in your darkest dream
I have come for you
And nobody can hear you scream
When I reach for you
Don’t you remember they’re feeding your face
Before they have carved you in stone
And don’t you remember your sweat and your pain
When you were drawn to the bone
When you were left on all alone
Living on a dream
Dying for an angel
Reach out, waiting for a miracle
No sign of wings, as you turn your back on me
Living on a dream
Lonely call to dial
Head up, feet down in the fire
Can I tell you’re gone
Dying for an angel
Everyday
Where do we go from the apology?
What do I leave behind?
How will I stand what I’ll have to say?
This reflection of mine
Collateral damage, your sacrifice
Got a longer fly alone to fall
Gotta tear down the walls of love and light
You have come on your own
You will go on all alone
Living on a dream
Dying for an angel
Reach out, waiting for a miracle
No sign of wings, as you turn your back on me
Living on a dream
Lonely call to dial
Head up, feet down in the fire
Can I tell you’re gone
Dying for an angel
Everyday
(Living on a dream
Dying for an angel
Reach out, waiting for a miracle
No sign of wings, as you turn your back on me)
Living on a dream
Dying for an angel
Reach out, waiting for a miracle
No sign of wings, as you turn your back on me
Waiting for a miracle!
Living on a dream
Lonely call to dial
Head up, feet down in the fire
Can I tell you’re gone
Dying for an angel
Everyday
Living on a dream
(Living on a dream)
Dying for an angel
Reach out, waiting for a miracle
No sign of wings, as you turn your back on me
(Back on me)
Living on a dream
Lonely call to dial
Head up, feet down in the fire
Can I tell you’re gone
(Can I tell you’re gone)
Dying for an angel
Everyday
5. Blizzard on a Broken Mirror
Faces in this empty room
Cited in despair
Gazes that I had invoked
They’re driving me insane now
Walls have eyes they’re staring down on me
From everywhere around
In the face of dreams I had
Grimaces of pain
Now I am turning helpless
Callous and alone
Waiting for a storm to brew
To wash my dream and love and sins away
I’m with you
I’m the other side
You just gotta try
Fly now! No one’s gonna care
Cause no one’s gonna know
What no one’s ever seen
Close your eyes now
Kingdom on the broken mirror
Close your eyes now
Blizzard on the broken mirror
The scent of goodbye
They’re dying away: the sands of time
Sands of time
Fortune favors just the brave
That’s what the blessed always say
Love will come in time
But I’m always late
I pray the one my will to take
And those evil hands to tie
Wreaking havoc, baneful sight is growing dim
Tie the dream I’ve had my fill
Raze the love and tie my will
Fires ploughing up my head
Oh forgive I will forget
Lord are you hiding in the haze?
The seventh door I’ll try is daze
Angel send another storm to face another dawn
Close your eyes now
Kingdom on the broken mirror
Close your eyes now
Blizzard on the broken mirror
The scent of goodbye
They’re dying away: the sands of time
Close your eyes now
(Kingdom on the broken mirror)
Close your eyes now
(Blizzard on the broken mirror)
The scent of goodbye
They’re dying away: the sands of time
Sands of time
They’re dying away: the sands of time…
6. Runaway Train
Goodbye
Your pocket full of dreams
Your mind in a daze
Keep on chasing rainbows
Fly high
Leave the past behind
The dark road you take bears no escape
In a world of grand illusions
Where love is just a dream
You gotta make your sacrifices
Time to pick your poison
The fool is he who is noble minded
And bellies up to poverty
He’s not a king in the world of diamonds
Paling into oblivion
I lay down my soul for glory
I’ve given a life away
Don’t know if I am sorry
Blind me, blind me
Don’t know where I’ll be going
I gotta get away
From the pain of recollection
Drawn into the faint
Hang on to a runaway train
No turning back
Tethered to a runaway train
Take me away
Torpid in the wind and rain
No turning back
Hang on to a runaway train
Take me away
If I’m a stranger to myself
Then I better gotta stay away
Even better gotta get away, get away
Time to pick my poison
Feel the devil sitting in my neck
Straight ahead into the unknown
Oh father I forgive you for I
Don’t know what I’m doing
It’s only human nature
To keep away from pain
Take a train to ecstasy oh
Ride on, ride on
Inhale the scent of heaven
Respire the smell of fame
You’ve been to hell and back
You can’t change things anyway, no
I hang on to a runaway train
No turning back
Tethered to a runaway train
Take me away
Torpid in the wind and rain
No turning back
I hang on to a runaway train
Take me away
Reaching out to rule the world
you’ll watch the mirror shatter
As you’ll be dazzled by the sight
Once only diamonds mattered
How can you justify the way
When you wake up screaming?
Will you pretend that you were blind
When you were really seeing?
Your image everywhere
The looking glass: a sheet of ice
It’s thick enough to dance on
In a frozen realm of lies
But the ice will break
And you will scream repenting
Oh boy the ice will break
You’ll just feel your heart rending
Riding on to a world of funny flowers
Riding on to the white wide world
If coming back would hurt my pride
I rather take another ride
Riding on, winter on the mirror
Riding on into the unknown
If I’ll awake in pain one day
I gotta catch just one more train
Days gone by
Who’d wanna live forever
On our knees up your road
Paved with good intentions
Fly high
Where angels can’t breathe no more
Some dare to go blind
Some stay behind
I hang on to a runaway train
No turning back
Tethered to a runaway train
Take me away
Torpid in the wind and rain
I hang on to a runaway train
Take me away
Hang on to a runaway train
No turning back
Tethered to a runaway train
Take me away
Torpid in the wind and rain
in the wind and rain
I hang on to that runaway train
7. Crestfallen
Ill-defined as I look in the mirror
Am I blind, am I blind?
Am I given or just a straying fool?
Feel it near
Something’s here to watch
I feel their eyes sending shivers down my spine
Evil eyes, evil eyes
See me crawling as I’m falling off the edge
Paralyze, tantalize
Feel it there
From everywhere it sounds
And you’ll fall away from heaven
Once you know you can’t take no more of it
You will fall away from heaven
By the time you can see the crime against you
Hey – desperation
Angels crashing from the sky
How can you hold on to your way
In your mental disarray?
I am your struggles
The answer to your pain
I am the fury in your eyes
I am reason, I am vice
It’s there
From everywhere it sounds
And you’ll fall away from heaven
Once you know you can’t take no more of it
You will fall away from heaven
By the time you can see the crime against you
And you’ll fall away from heaven
Once you know you can’t take no more of it
You will fall away from heaven
By the time you can see the crime against you
And you’ll fall away from heaven
Once you know you can’t take no more of it
You will fall away from heaven
By the time you can see the crime against you…
8. Forever Is a Long Time
Oh yeah, oh…
Young is the day
Still it’s the same
The same old tomorrow
Colors too bright
So dream in black and white
If you wanna rise from the hollow
The future in sight
The past in your head
Nightmare or treason
The father above you as you
Walk through the ashes
Don’t you run out of reason
You keep waiting
For your choice to be made
There ain’t no bounty
For the number of passions
You rein in for love
You are defying the devil
Forever this time
But you can’t imagine
Forever will drag on a long long time
You are defying salvation
The wait is your crime
Stalemate in virtue we falter
Forever is a long time
Pleasure and pain feel all the same
To the dreamer who’s trying to get closer
Strange how it feels in reality
When your fairytale is over
No right or wrong
I just keep going on
And I don’t get lost in belief
Falter and pray
Keep looking away
I don’t wanna see
We keep on waiting
For a choice to be made
There ain’t no bounty for the passion
We rein in for love
You are defying the devil
Forever this time
But you can’t imagine
Forever will drag on a long long time
You are defying salvation
The wait is your crime
Stalemate in virtue we falter
Forever is a long time!
Forever is a long time
It’s gonna take forever
Oh – young is the day
Still it’s the same
The same old tomorrow
Colors too bright
So dream in black and white
Wanna rise from the hollow
You are defying the devil
Forever this time
But you can’t imagine
Forever will drag on a long long time
You are defying salvation
The wait is your crime
Stalemate in virtue we falter
Forever is a long time
9. Black Wings
I’ve been here through a million ages
I am the savior inside
Tonight I am love and justice
Tomorrow perversion to spite
And now that it’s bleeding you dry
I’m calling you, I’m calling you
When temperance is bleeding you dry
I’m knocking you off the perch
And out in the rain
I’ll hide under wings I’d curse in sunlight
Out in the rain
You can break me and take me away
On wings of fury
Live your tragic comedy
I’m the poison in your veins
Circumspection, vanity
You give all they can take
I am fury, I am fire, I’m the worm inside
Deliver you from self-denial tonight
When temperance is bleeding you dry I’m inside
And out in the rain
I’ll hide under wings I’d curse in sunlight
Out in the rain
You can break me and take me away
On wings of fury
Who do you think you are to tell me what to say?
Who do you think you are to tell me what to play?
And what not to break?
And out in the rain
I’ll hide under wings I’d curse in sunlight
Out in the rain
You can break me and take me away
On wings of fury
10. States of Matter
Your mind to infinity
Let reason rivet on your feet or you may fall
You’re drawn into a distant glow
You dream of voices from on high
But can’t evade another rainy night
And putting on another show
Hate and affection
Pleasure and pain
Modes of vibration
Unveiling to be all the same
And when the final day has come
It’s another state of matter
And when you face another sun
It’s the union of the states of matter
Oh yeah! Oh… yeah…
Failure and defeat and all the riches surely beat
Where I have been and what I have been before
And when the sands of time run low
Commemoration of a lonely crow
That would have made it through the door
Light and affection
Darkness and pain
Mind of matter
The All’s gonna make it all the same
And when the final day has come
Another state of matter
When you will face another sun
Union of the states of matter
Light and affection
Darkness and pain
Mind of matter
The All’s gonna make it all the same
And when the final day has come
It’s another state of matter
And when you will face another sun
It’s the union of the states of matter
11. The Edge
When I was sent to walk this long cold way
I’d never meant to take it all this far
Nobody told me I was bound to stray
You gave me visions and cut out this part
When the journey is over
Then what will remain
But a churchyard of angels
Don’t need no glory the bottle and I
Don’t need no sympathy at all as I hang on the edge
Don’t need no glory till the river’s run dry
I won’t cry for sympathy as I hang on the edge, oh…
When you were shackles chances passed me by
I’ve broken free
Now I’m free falling
Laid down my arms as you laid down the lie:
Those words you didn’t say when I was calling
Fingers bleed onto the ivory
They dance on the keys
To a churchyard of angels
Don’t need no glory the bottle and I
Don’t need no sympathy at all as I hang on the edge
Don’t need no glory till the river’s run dry
I won’t cry for sympathy as I hang on the edge
No, don’t need no glory the bottle and I
Don’t need no sympathy at all as I hang on the edge
Don’t need no glory till the river’s run dry
I won’t cry for sympathy as I hang on the edge
Don’t need no glory the bottle and I
Don’t need no sympathy at all as I hang on the edge
Don’t need no glory the bottle and I
Don’t need no sympathy at all as I hang on the edge
Hang on the edge…
