Concrete Maze
07:04
|
|||
|
One by one like diamonds fade
Closing off, sequestered
We have chosen this
But can we endure?
Isolate ourselves from the night
We begin our search
For the answers
For the secrets
For the key
A window to another world
Behind the concrete maze
Bolt the door, draw the curtains
Pray we'll see the dawn

Wrong Time, Wrong Place
04:50
|
|||
|
Shadows and reflections
Memories that linger
I could stay like this
Mirror image laughter
Fractured by the years
I could stay like this
Shackled by ambition
Bound to my demise
I could stay like this
A glimmer of the future
Washed out by the past
I could stay like this
But it's the wrong time
It's the wrong place
We will never meet

Is This Forever?
05:20
|
|||
|
Through a veil of tears or rain
Through a haze of blood
I'm reaching out
Time like liquid
I drown in it
I breathe it in
Directionless I float
It's all the same
No destination
No release
And no ending
Years mean nothing to me

Solace I: Twilight
05:27
|
|||
|
The last chance has gone
There is no turning back
We hold dreams responsible
We hold fear accountable
But no one forced our hand
Driven by ourselves
Beyond no return
Through lost passages
Down the dead roads
With memory of the light
Filling us with hope
The dark reminds us it was there
We cling to the night
For solace
|

Rumor
05:15
|
|||
|
Watching the landscape change
Waiting for my mistakes
Watching the doorways fade
Hanging on every word
Breathing in belief
That there is a way
Doors where walls were gone
Locked three times, but try again
Egress, but it looks the same
Every turn the same
But never cease to change
A constant rearrange
A rumor of escape
There is no way out
|

Winter
04:49
|
|||
|
Like a tightrope
Like a piano string
On the precipice
Staring into me
My eyes reflecting
What I don't want to believe
It drinks the night
Swallowing hope and good intentions
Like a bowstring
Like skin to a blade
Like rope to a tree
The final fall
And winter brings release
|

The Name on the Wind
06:05
|
|||
|
Shadow of sorrow
One by one they're passing on
The garden of hope
Yet here I wait alone
Lunar ascension
The breath of a stone
The face of a god
Or a reflection
Distorted by ripples in the pool
The name on the wind passes me by
In the garden shadows grow
Encroaching; expanding
Will I ever find
Forgiveness?

Solace II: Inferno
05:35
|
|||
|
Let it burn
Cleansing my heart
Bringing peace to me
Purifying
Destroying all that which I do not need
Emptying the corridors
Down to the foundations
Expanding in spirals
To every changing corner
No escape from the comfort of the flames
In that moment everything changes
Be still my raging eyes
Look into the blaze
For solace
|
||||
9. |
||||
|
Everything for a reason
Every key for a door
Each line in place
Each moment leading ever on
Without purpose, what do we share?
Obfuscating words
Metaphors and gestures
Each motion for a reason
Constructing castles
In the fog of ideas
So that once again light
May fill our hearts
Leading the way
To a common end
|

Pull Down the Sky
05:38
|
|||
|
Let it come down all around me
Let worlds come to ends
Let sorrow be complete
Let understanding remain
Until that too is gone in the flood
As the piper pulls down the sky
Structure and artifice collapse
Nature denied what violence transcends
All will be revealed after the flood
When our secrets are called
We stand amidst the debris
And count the shattered dreams at our feet
As the piper pulls down the sky
Let it come down
|

Möbius
05:44
|
|||
|
These things remain
Cataclysms can not mar
Nor hatred tarnish
Nor affection wither
Nothing really changes
Memories remain
Driven onward by emotion
Gravitational pull
Across centuries
Time cannot change this
There are no endings
Only cascading beginnings
Each layer reveals
The same story told again
|
||||
12. |
Solace III: Illumination
05:11
|
|||
|
All curtains thrown back
All tricks and secrets revealed
The last illusion gone
The sorrow remains
The memory of the lost
The light shines down
Into every dusty corner
We can never come this way again
But we finally understand
The veil is forever lifted
Things will never be the same
Hold on to what we have
Watch the rising sun
For solace
