1. SOYUZ ONE

Soyuz One, hurry home
Sooner or later gone
Starless child
Lived up times
Ever spending now

Frozen lips
Lose their grip
Serving the silence
Escape or drown

Strand of light
In cold night
You can't see me now

Delighted in my Jerusalem
Goodbye to future men

Blood or might
Two worlds slide
Wash your hands of both
Paint is gone
Prey is one
In silent cities
Standing stone


2. HYPOMANIA

Discovered far too late that
I must have made you up
And lost the fabric that
I think I made you of
The thoughts that could preserve you fly away
And now they're gone I see you

Changing
Fading
Disintegrating
Making
A better man than me has thrown the dice
A staff to part the sea
A place in life

Be home a little later
God's a croupier
I'll toast the liberator
And quit while I'm ahead
I heard the shadows speak from Plato's cave
That's when I knew that I was

Changing
Fading
Disintegrating
Making a better man of me
A better life
Not a fantasy
I've thrown the dice


3. EXIT SUITE

The shortest hour
The exit suite
We dread tomorrow
When life has turned
When night runs
We fear the dawn
A liaison
Time near stops
We hide to light each other's warmth
Phantom limb
The years are hurting me


4. EMPEROR BESPOKE

Now lighten up, dear
Brittle old man - here!
You'll die of pleasure
You'll do whatever you can
For the glory of the throne

Drink up this poison
Little old man - here!
It's gone too far, dear
You've seen them all rise and fall
And the mercury talks

Go on see the wreckage
Go on see the show
You can count her ribs now
Miss Hemlock's pale as snow
They're jumping out of windows
And drilling through the ground
Don't come around next Sunday

'Cause she's not going to choose you
She's going to use you
And cheaters get caught

Swig of that poison
Hear the ticking
You're slowing down, dear
You thought you were going to win them all
But you never made it home

You were living in a war of no sides until
She walked out the door one day without a sign unti
I find you're changing as you try and try and try and try
Tip your hat until you're taking off your head and die

Choose you until I lose you
No one gets hurt

Choose you, choose you
Want to choose you
Emperor's bespoke

I saw you fall into shadow
Starving on calorie shakes
Hungry for maximum nothing
Lost in the translation as you're
Scrolling down a mountain made of words
Dried up adolescence
Where everyone decides to be ashamed
Servant up until this day
Crossed the line and favoured other lies

Mountain of words
Dull your mind with their infinite worlds
Meet the emperor, see what you learn
I want you to be free
Sail the seas
Clouds of wunderbar
Feed the disease
Love is masterful
Leaves you in peace
Emperor's bespoke emporium
Drink up your poison


5. SKY BURIAL

We waited day and night
Stayed at home
Silent phone
Silent lives
These mountains made you small
Our hidden paths
Lost too soon
Wasted life
Genie awakes in the lamp in the morning
Soon they'll go
Save a life
Wild white painted sky

Voice in the wind
Saw his face
We're searching
Don't leave until you find him
In thundering, smoldering fire
Red morning in seven deadly seconds
I'm cold
Mountain gods defend the departed

These mountains made you small
We waited day and night


6. FLEETING THINGS

The rosary
The fire in me will disappear
Aimed to keep imprisoned what only lives in freedom
Time is always fleeting
An illusionary line

Crumbling to pieces as empires fall
Failing to keep what's the essence of all
Bullied and broken, bloody and bruised
Hiding in secret, ancient stories

Our tales will all fade without light
The future will quietly eat them alive
I stayed for the stories, the secret stories

Where you have been
The sights you've seen
I'll keep them near
Stay to hold them dearer
Make the colours clearer
The underdog believer
Quietly stays right here

Picking up pieces as empires fall
Aiming to keep what's the essence of all
Bullied and broken, bloody and bruised
Living in moments, stolen moments

The sand becomes gold in the wonder of night
The deck has been stacked and the stakes were too high
Drunk with the moment, the only moment
Decided to give it all back
You'll never own what's only borrowed


7. SOYUZ OUT

Oak was buried with its head in the ground

Roots reaching for the auburn sky

Crown of old
Pulled from the mud

To ease the journey
To keep the wheel from turning

I'm the rain
On your parade
I'm the hand
Closing the door
The wolves of the hour
Are howling outside
And you will surrender
To all your desires
The last decide

A word to the wisest
The art was a lie
With no bag to check in
A cynical ride
Still we will make it

Winter took
It won't take me

Fence is high
But so are the trees
So are the trees!

You are waving
Facing strangers
You can't help them

Cruel idea
Cruel idea
Cruel idea

Soyuz high

Cold war
Messenger
Here at last
Shore full of stars
Every man haunted inside

Timeless void
Barren soil
We made the sword from a snake

In a metal
Window's frame
The gold balloon
Will rise again
Bouncing light
Encapsulate
A cosmonautic
Escapade
Miles away from promised land
A little man with little faith
He'll never make it home

Ran his kite around the fields
A dancing diamond
Brought him closer to his dream
Of outer space
Time has ways to
Make you pay

The phase of entry
The shields are burning
I couldn't keep the angle
This devil ship
A future machine

Came in too steep on one wing
Out of control
I know you mean this
There's no more next time

This house soured
Crashed through the hours
All these
Wasted years

Soyuz One
Hurry home
Through your
Endless flight


8. RAPPACCINI

Ancient lady
Bring me to the deep
Where all belongings go
When those who were have drowned

30s phonograph
Rappaccini's plants
Faded epitaph

The autumn winds sing of sleep
Places we've been
They're already gone
Cut down the trees

When the time comes
Hear the voice below
Present, past and future breath
I'll drink the clear stream
Here where I belong
That I delight in and turn away

I want to fight off the snow
I want to fight off the hail
Read the cobblestones and tell all their tales
I want to go
I'll be here through eternity
Oh take one last look
