In this old cozy room Gentle bathed in blue light You ponder on their world In the bright sun What surrounds us is said To be filthy and dead Quite foolish To the quite erudite one Blue - look out the moon! In the shadows we dwell Too unseen to be true In the dead of night The blood moon is smiling Join the unseen Dance in between the shadows Susurrating brake Reaching for you From the shadows I'm the master of things Speaking backwards, with wings that fly Unperceived by the sneery All you see will be said To be just in your head It's so simple In the land of the dreary You close your eyes boy, and soon... You're safe in my world We're ghosts in the moon In the dead of night The blood moon is smiling Join the unseen Dance in between the shadows Susurrating brake Reaching for you From the shadows In the dead of night The blood moon is smiling Join the unseen Dance in between the shadows Susurrating brake Reaching for you From the shadows You hear the call of the moon Oh, one more step through the gate And they won't tread on you... In the dead of night The blood moon is smiling Join the unseen Dance in between the shadows Susurrating brake Reaching for you From the shadows In the dead of night The blood moon is smiling Join the unseen Dance in between the shadows Susurrating brake Reaching for you From the shadows

I've been out on the waves, still far from home Tried to affiliate, kept on sailing all alone I'd give the best of me but all redemption I can see is a shadow In the mist of a reverie Never afraid Or so we think as we pace the unknown dark We'd navigate by the whispering wind And the beat of a heart And vows would never ever break As if we'd ever know What never ever looks like from up close Worlds imposed and we try to act upon Oh what have we become Nobody there to kill the pain away Assay to slither from the pouring rain You never know it as you hit the trail All in vain? All in vain? Oh sometimes I wish... ...All mentation would disappear Feelings would fade And so would this blazing fear Like a grain dancing in the wind Without steady place Defer arrival till another day Worlds imposed and we try to act upon To wonder what we become Nobody there to kill the pain away Assay to slither from the pouring rain You never know it as you hit the trail All in vain? All in vain? I was gonna hope to choke the fire I was gonna face up and let go Oh, I was gonna ally with the golden guising And by the light of dawn I'd put my brave face on Nobody there to kill the pain away Assay to slither from the pouring rain You never know it as you hit the trail All in vain? All in vain?

A stare dead ahead as he's striding Unshod on a glittering wave Of stardust, defying all judgement He's gliding away, impelled to aberrate Scornful and prying, they're not even trying To grasp what they deign to deride A picture that's ripped into pieces A drifter who's leaving the light Gazing, wondering, laughing It fades away And I take on the gale I tame the storm at night Braving wind and rain I tame the storm at night Carry me away I tame the storm at night I tame the storm Oh - A wayward mind in concealment A host in a clamorous crowd Fragility poorly protected From discountenance wondered out loud Right on and if you can't defy it Omit the feeling of pain Safe in a still conversation A child entwined with the rain You feel no more coldness It slowly fades away in the dark I tame the storm at night Braving wind and rain I tame the storm at night Carry me away I tame the storm at night Braving wind and rain (Braving wind and rain) I tame the storm at night (Oh, let's tame the storm) Carry me away Oh...

I glide over skies above the clouds and the rain On memories that can't be detached from the comfort I fail to regain The euphony breathes a wistful return of the time God, am I crazy or you or the whole world today? I believe where reason doesn't speak to me, yes I believe in anywhere the wind blows Flying away like a paper nothing As I twist and turn, I'm light like a paper plane Carried away like a trace of nothing May the wind blow me its way like a paper plane You feel like you lose mother tongue as you wait for the world To deign you a glimpse of connection to what it used to be Can't tell no misapprehension from wishful thinking As you can't bring a thing into line with what you're to see All alone - This place is dark and far from home On your own, you're off to wherever you'll be drifting... Flying away like a paper nothing As I twist and turn, I'm light like a paper plane Flying away like a paper nothing As I twist and turn, I'm light like a paper plane Carried away like a trace of nothing May the wind blow me its way like a paper plane Flying away like a paper nothing As I twist and turn, I'm light like a paper plane Carried away like a trace of nothing

You stumble against a door you've never seen was here And somewhere deep inside, you know you're in for something Now everything you dread is gonna disappear You're losing track of time You've got to go in, you gotta look up You're ready and intent to chase the dark You're gonna set out You're shooting for the moon into the night Quaint, delightful and divine There's no making sense of it at all As we sail off to the other side of now Need no reason, need no rhyme If you don't feel it now, you won't at all In their shiny slick indifference Set all sail, we're out of here, the devil be our guide You stand upon the ocean 'neath a mystic sky Does anybody really mourn the day as it drowns? Well The moon's about to craze the bonafide, all rhyme And reason he'll rescind You've got go on, you gotta get up You gotta be intent to hunt the snark You're gonna set out You sail on by the moon and ain't it bizarre? How breaking the mould will never get old? Navigating by the heart unlike what you been told You're gonna be free You're gonna set a spectral night ablaze Quaint, delightful and divine There's no making sense of it at all As we sail off to the other side of now Need no reason, need no rhyme If you don't feel it now, you won't at all In this grimy sick insistence Set all sail, we're out of here, the devil be our guide They feed you dreams Make you feel alone so you can dream of home Warmth turned to heat They will melt you down Drip into the mould You're shaken awake from what wasn't a dream You know that we are real as we can make you scream You can be free You're gonna set the spectral night ablaze Quaint, delightful and divine There's no making sense of it at all As we sail off to the other side of now Need no reason, need no rhyme If you don't feel it now, you won't at all In their tiney-dique remonstrance Set all sail, we're out of here, the devil be our guide

It's come again, and won't reveal its name While it paints the world in shadow You try to run but you can't get away Your body's aching - you can't move Eyes, incisive stare Feel them everywhere Raining darkness on you Feel it by your side Feel it crawl into your mind You're dancing to the sound of Heroes and tightropes and fire Don't count the scars just let them Light up the night sky Hero! And no one shall see How it grows from the scars Wailing beauty, ecstasizing poetry From the well of harmony - ripped apart Broken dreams, false promises we felt were made As we set out on a journey fated from the start Or did we just take some wrong bloody turn On a devious road Drawn to the song (of) Heroes and tightropes and fire Don't count the scars Just make them shine in the night sky Heroes and no one shall see How it grows from the scars It's here again but we must not be afraid Make it shed exhilaration! We pray tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away While deep inside we know that something will remain Eyes incisive stare Feel them everywhere Constant dripping wears the stone Oh... Shadow by your side Shadows poured into your mind As you stumble towards the sound Of heroes and tightropes and fire Don't count the scars Just make them shine in the night sky Heroes and all they will see... How it's grown over scars Heroes and tightropes and fire Don't count the scars Just make them shine in the night sky Heroes no one shall see How it grows from the scars

Wandering the low lands and high plains Been crossing the mountains Sailing the sea Anxiety-free Been craving for rain in the desert Saw bleak nights devour The day's blazing heat - oh A light burning out Tied to the canon's apron Hie in obedience to the scantiness of time Meant to astound Entangled in adornment An ornament sublime Dreams allayed No weakness gets betrayed Right on Swaying to the sacred fanfares Don't you stop to run From paradise to despair Yeah, strident voices Now why don't you? Why do you slow down? Right on! Don't speak, don't wonder! That way! This way! Don't walk astray! Welcome to the arabesque Oh Oh You beat up against the wind and the flow Concealing your tears With the sweat from your brow No one see's them, they're next to you Deride them, despite they're the faithful The only, the true, oh Got a navigation map and aspiration If only that good old chart Would show the seas ya gonna sail Run up and down Until you stand to reason Faithfully you break Dreams aligned Stalwartly confined Right on Swaying to the sacred fanfares Don't you stop to run To the promised land in despair Voices screaming Now why don't you? Why do you slow down? Right on! Don't speak, don't wonder! That way! This way! Don't walk astray! Welcome to the arabesque Toss and turn all night Got to get it right Is it just a dream Or runaway fantasy? Reverie out of kilter? Got to carry on Go on, play along Don't you let them down As they help you drown Your feelings in a philtre I want the turmoil to go away And slowly I'd trouble no more Like a grain the wild wind blows away From a whispering, blistering shore If you'd look back at the shore through my eyes Having sailed just a mile in my shell Hold to think and maybe feel what it's like At the deep end of slightly unwell Got to carry on Must be going strong Wipe away the tears Put your vizard on Welcome to the creep show Welcome to the freak show!!! And I'm dreaming of mother love And colouring outside the lines like a child Beyond growing up And the pain that goes along with it To escape these confines Ooooh, no breath for pretence Refuse to make sense Right on Swaying to the sacred fanfares Don't you stop to run From paradise to despair Searing voices Now why don't you? Why do you slow down? Right on! Don't speak, don't wonder! That way, this way, don't walk astray Welcome to the arabesque Right on Swaying to the sacred fanfares Don't you stop to run Right on, right on Through the pain and the fire Through the wind and the rain Walking a long way from home Right on
