1. NIGHTFALL

(Instrumental)


2. FOR THE DEAD

Enter through the gate
The iron's black and frames the door
Open to the beauty
Not remembered anymore
The strangers always gather
There's no one there to see
Calling to a ghost
Or a whisper through the trees

Against the rain, the flowers will bloom
Little children, playing in the tombs

Cold and grey, cloudy day
Flowers are red, for the dead

Out beyond the gardens
On the buses and the trains
Walking on the pavement
Walking in the rain
Live as though departed
Even dying unto breath
Living stones and living temples
Passing over death

Against the rain, the flowers will bloom
Little children, playing in the tombs

Cold and grey, cloudy day
Flowers are red, for the dead
No one here, year after year
Stone won't tell, heaven or hell


3. SCARLET

Deep in the night (Drown in the deep)
In the cold of the shadows (Cold of the shadows)
I drifted away (Drifting away)
And then I heard a voice in the dark (A voice in the dark)
Coming closer, what did you say? (What did you say?)
For you I'd die
I'd cross over and over again (I'd cross over again)
Into the hands holding tightly (Into the hands holding tightly)
And words bidding hatefully (Bidding hatefully)
Stay (Stay)

I'm bathed in scarlet
It falls like rain
I'm bathed in scarlet
You wipe it away

Reach back, for the lost
Despite, the cost
And willing, the priceless
Exchange, for the worthless

I'm bathed in scarlet
It falls like rain
I'm bathed in scarlet
You wipe it away

Deep in the night (Drown in the deep)
In the cold of the shadows (Cold of the shadows)
I drifted away (Drifting away)
And then I heard a voice in the dark (A voice in the dark)
Coming closer, what did you say? (What did you say?)
For you I'd die
I'd cross over and over again (I'd cross over again)


4. PICTURES

Roller hide and seek
The angels and the filthy creeps
Find a place to go inside
And be with all the misfits from the halfway

Oh those pretty eyes
Pinned until the morning sighs
So sad even though
It left my heart so long ago

Tell me how you feel
What you hoped to find
All the empty things that seemed
Important at the time

Pictures on the wall
So faded

Silent history
Make the same mistakes as me
No time to understand
No time to see

Tell me how you feel
What you hope to find
There are so many things that seem
Important at the time
Passing through the years
Almost looking back
And all the pain has gone away
Frozen in the past

Pictures on the wall
So faded


5. STILL, STILL, STILL

Still, still, still
One can hear the falling snow
For all is hushed
The world is sleeping
Holy Star its vigil keeping
Still, still, still
One can hear the falling snow

Sleep, sleep, sleep
'Tis the eve of our Saviour's birth
The night is peaceful all around you
Close your eyes
Let sleep surround you
Sleep, sleep, sleep
'Tis the eve of our Saviour's birth

Dream, dream, dream
Of the joyous day to come
While guardian angels without number
Watch you as you sweetly slumber
Dream, dream, dream
Of the joyous day to come


6. TOUCH THE STARS

I came here to see
To see for myself
Witches will cast their spells
Watch over me

I'm blind in the day
Asleep with the dead
Direct me away from hell
To heaven instead

You're too high
I'm too low
To touch the stars
The saint and the sinner
They can't touch the stars

You glow in the dark
You walk on the sea
You color the evening sky
You watch over me

You're too high
I'm too low
To touch the stars
The saint and the sinner
They can't touch the stars


7. TYRANNY

I hear the siren coming
I see the people running
Come for the guilty ones
Looking out at the setting sun

Familiar words
Keep ringing in my ears
Between the call and handshake
Cast the die

Sow the wind
Day has come
Tyranny

I hear the siren coming...
I see the people running...
Come out and see
What the future holds for me
In the centers of power
Turn the wheels
Turn the days into years
Until we're broken
Feed the fears
That are taken and twisted

Familiar words
Keep ringing in my ears
Between the call and handshake
Cast the die

Sow the wind
Now it's done
Close your eyes
Day has come
Tyranny


8. MONOCHROME

When I see you in the mirror
My reflection in your eyes
I hear the words, but know the meaning
Another dose of lies

Through the glass
Monochrome cast
Through the glass
Monochrome cast
Monochrome cast
Monochrome cast

Through the lens of the camera
One-way look in your soul
Transparent pane of tinted glasses
Close the circle of control

Through the glass
Monochrome cast
Through the glass
Monochrome cast
Monochrome cast
Monochrome cast


9. LOST CITY

A proud heart, it won't die
The root of hate, it's so deeply set inside
I can't believe we're so easily led astray
Name the price, the cost of blood, we will pay

A cold room, it's empty now
Watch your step, all the lights are going out
They took the things we so easily gave away
For our trust, in return, gave us chains

I remember when this was the center of the world
I remember when they closed the gates
And turned their backs on us all

Guard the walls, clear the streets, cry for this lost city
Close the doors, stay inside, cry for this lost city

All that's left, all alone
Staring out at broken buildings, broken homes
We used to laugh like a fool that fails to see
We used to curse all the faithful on their knees

And I remember when this was the center of the world
And I remember when they closed the gates
And turned their backs on us all

Guard the walls, clear the streets, cry for this lost city
Close the doors, stay inside, cry for this lost city


10. TESTIFY

Walk alone, blessed one
Through the fields, blessed one
Bear the sign on your head
Inviting hatred
Have they killed, blessed one
Those you love, blessed one
Have they taken everything
Born within their wicked minds

Through the gun, blessed one
By the sword, blessed one
Comes the darkness from a heart
Struck with blindness
They have gained, blessed one
Their reward, blessed one
Victory by the dead
Heaping coals upon their heads

Testify

Dry your eyes, blessed one
In the hills, blessed one
Even though most of us
Have forgotten
In the light, blessed one
By the truth, blessed one
Shining bright before men
It will shame them in the end


11. TO THE END

Band of brothers, gathered at the fallen
Wounds of love, distant lands
On the eve, of the 4th of July
Raise the flag, from this day to the end

Long road home, pain and broken vows
Medals under glass, pride and honor bound
High above, outside the front door
Raise the flag, from this day to the end

All the tears, sorrow survived
Count the years, do it all again
For this home, ones that went before
For this home, to the end

Ships go out, people stand and wave
Stories and lives, swept together once again
In the distance, against the troubled sky
Raise the flag, from this day to the end

All the tears, sorrow survived
Count the years, do it all again
For this home, ones that went before
For this home, to the end


12. THESE HANDS

Woke at night
In the darkness
A stranger rests
Upon your heart

Between the thoughts
The ones that weaken
The ones that seem
Too great to bear

Don't be afraid
These hands
These hands are pierced
The violence is gone
The violence is gone

Woke at dawn
Through the window
The journey calls
And you must go

Don't be afraid
These hands
These hands will dry
The tears on your face
The tears on your face
