The chimney smoke keeps me barely here In this room, a quiet despair Six years since you left me on the ledge My love couldn’t help break your fall Your ghost lingers present in the scent Your touch just as real as before Why are you still with me? Drifting in and out Why do you follow me? And Taunt me with your memory.
2.
I’m running through the wasteland From a life that wasn’t real The path that leads me onwards Is almost like a dream Is there no way to... Escape this life Your heart – I feel it breaking What was, is now Destroyed Forgotten See inside the window The face that never came Hollowed and forgotten The guestbook reads his name If you meet again, tell him that I prayed Gates open to the middle realm And every night I see them rise Frost covers all memory And blankets my past life My days gone Now a maudlin effigy Stands where I said goodbye to the world Destroyed; Forgotten. What was, is now Destroyed Forgotten

Lifeless 09:50
Up and over the railing Keeping the tracks from escaping Running faster than the water ran cold Bleeding you deeper than the hole that I dug The steam trains that now block your path Are the same ones we rode when we were infants The faint drizzle that fell on that day Has lead you to the tar pit you now call your grave The moment is changing, your colour is fading Your sweet aroma – now wretched decay Peaceful in your final pose A final smile captured your revenge Fading, failing piece by piece Nothing of you but your photo remains Sniff the air and fragrance is plasma The kiss of death; the most romantic of them all Fall to your knees And cry for freedom Your eloquent ways cannot save The passing of your final days Wealthy is the ferryman that sails the River Styx (Row them all astray) After all where else your soul supposed to fade away? (All will fade away) Ignorance is a welcome gift to those who want a piece (Come and take your fill) Remembering the lessons learnt after all the guilt has torn them lifeless Lifeless Up and over the railing Frantic, Kicking and screaming Dying faster than you can behold Glimmer of hope then the moment is gone The steam trains that now block your path Are the same ones we rode when we were infants The faint drizzle that fell on that day Has lead you to the tar pit you now call your grave

Whitecross 04:14
I see the clouds block out the sun The rain now it starts to come Something tells me I’ve been here before History true The land will take you in its grace These hills, they speak more truth than your lies Tonight The forest closes in on you Makes you feel the wonder of its power Tomorrow is now, today is yesterday Then my eyes begin to close I realise I know something I’m coming back I’m coming back again When I see her gentle smile I realise I know one thing She’s coming back She’s coming back again Mist falls over of Whitecross Bathing nature in the night Tears glide off her shoulder Painting nature with her life When the hills kiss the clouds The land and the sky reunite We have something special Hidden from the candlelight

Verse As I look down to the ground My headstone turns to ash Fragments of a life once lived Submitted to the past To a realm of insignificance My memories are like tapestries Growing more prescious as they age My soul, just a whisper away From decendants that don’t even know I can see Verse Watch my son have a son of his own See the baby grow into a man View the obsticles in their life as if I were living through them See my grandson lay a bouquet of flowers down on his fathers grave I know he lived the life he wanted I hope heaven is where his soul lays Chorus Will anyone remember me at all? Will my life seem somehow interesting? I hope I have impacted you somehow I’m forced to re-live all the mistakes that I’ve made through you The mistakes that I’ve made Through you Bridge Rotting… In a realm between life and death I know where I am but I don’t know where I’m going ½ Verse This era is far from home I left the world one hundred years ago dwelling in this lifeless realm The ages tear my legacy apart Bridge Why? I wanted to touch the divine I want to rest amoung the clouds The mountains of the sky Verse Watch my son have a son of his own See the baby grow into a man View the obsticles in their life as if I were living through them See my grandson lay a bouquet of flowers down on his fathers grave I know he lived the life he wanted I hope heaven is where his soul lays Chorus Will anyone remember me at all? Will my life seem somehow interesting? I hope I have impacted you somehow I’m forced to re-live all the mistakes that I’ve made through you The mistakes that I’ve made through you

Wait for me To change soon Feel safe I’m coming Coming to you now Why are you still with me? I hold your ghost in my arms Your touch just as real as before
7.
Twisted in shape… an Imbalanced form Like fingers of Gods the lightning evokes the storm Tangled steel the wreckage lay out on the road A sudden hush falls over the gathering crowd The Angel calls... “Come to me, your future beckons beyond the sea. You were man but death was your destiny” Pain through the core But yet, somehow there is still warmth Can I breathe now? Am I here now?! Blurred imagery A lighthouse from the ghostly shore Guides me, engulfs me Life’s Flame Dredged and Forged Rocked in death’s sleepless hold I seek out a way I remember yesterday Try to guess How will this end? It arrives Just close your eyes Darkness encloses Seeking out the way in which to go Ear drums blasting to your final song Mirror looks to mirror and reflection is askew Melting imagery of the person that was you Destination has arrived Upon the wings of your enclosing darkness Life’s Flame Dredged and Forged Rocked in death’s sleepless hold I seek out a way I remember yesterday
8.
There’s something in the air I breathe A fleeting feeling I can’t believe When I turn around to see The touch is just transparency If only I could reach the shore Every day I would spend, looking for that which is mine Why are you trying to hide? There’s something in the air I breathe Lavish darkness unto me When I am old and almost gone I’ll seek the hatred in your soul Graceless touch from the air I breathe The mist of your spirit surrounds me Silence comes at the worst of times Even then I hear you breathe Come back to me There’s something in the air I breathe Lavish darkness unto me When I am old and almost gone I’ll tell you that you’re not alone Finding a way To get inside my head now It seems a must have come here Completely uninvited I’ll take away this sadness And put it in a bottle Send it off across the ocean Never to be seen again Sadness never to be seen again Send it off across the ocean

Take Me 05:40
Fly from the trees Give me your all Make me believe That this is not all Unspoken, unseen A bond that feels no aging Someday we’ll watch the sea When time has shifted Take me Make me be your fire Take me Plant me in your soil Why Is it so hard to lie to myself? I will go on dreaming Time Will tell if the dream was worth dreaming Or the urge is left bleeding Eyes glance across the room I look within myself The answers can’t be read from page to page Time will only tell
11.
Stretching time caused a relapse Now all is unknown This conflict was born from ignorance I am lost in this world In this lost world of the damned Sinking faster into this lost world You speak through transparency But I know that you’re there This is the last apparition The final embrace Woman to her man Man to her essence The final embrace Your dark emotions surround me You have stolen my light. Whispering my name My immortal death-wish Pull me down Hold me in the eternal darkness Tainted, painted colours of cold Hating all feeling It’s the end of the world Tears drip from the blood red sky It’s the end of the world
12.
Falling from the sky I see you all alone In the flash of the light Your presence is now known Rising Feeding There’s a mist in the air Foul power Amongst us Your soul dives into mine Your hatred Your anger, Cannot compare with mine Deep greed Strong selfishness Traits we do not share Your curse - your weakness Just a shallow scare Wait for your god To deliver you from your haunted world Essence of the fog Your crimson eyes reflect your agony Drift back to the shore Wretched Howling The stench of ectoplasm lingers strong We want to see through This world to the other But we want to do so For our own selfish reasons If you could find Yourself in another Would you stop or just walk by? Broken by your greed Through moist fog you cry You and all you hate Blinded by all that is, now you are forever mine
13.
Oceans 07:24
I can see that you are waiting for something that you know will never come I can see that you are hurting from the one you’ve come to love. Where is he now? In time your eyes will match the sky You’ll fall into a world you always knew was there In Ten years your feet will touch the sand You’ll cast your soul into the deepest oceans I can see that you are earning, saving to get so far away from here And I can see that you are yearning to be the amongst the clouds and silver moon I see your future coming clearer Take a look inside your very reason You know it is untrue Don’t you? I can see that you’re becoming A shadow of the person that you were I can see that you are dying A death that you once hoped you’d never have
14.
Close your eyes Touch the sky Breathe your longest breath You’re alive Your plight is ending It is accomplished Now you are home again While I drift through dream Embrace your sweet closure Immersed in a sea of divinity I know where you’ll be Drifting through dream At peace finally Atoned silently I can see you now Drifting through dream
