Dominion

The Unknown Door I. Faint Equations Who should find this unknown door Shielded from the light? Long before a world at war Beyond the veil of night Unaware anywhere, is there still time? Won't be long from this moment on With two of one kind and all we leave behind In corridors and aisles that fade across the open miles The road you walk alone will lead the way back home The time is now to send it out It's in your hands The world you're waiting for See for real in unlit fields The Westland is out of bounds no more II. Many And More Still The hidden run begins Depends on fair-weather wings Held by the sun, consider it done They found you This island now as it sinks will crown its permanent king Make no mistake Unfortunate fakes surround you The final then the first, the sky reversed Instead of light, we're out of day for night Whatever lessons then we never learned Years roll by and won't return You know there's nothing now can shape them again Danger in places where you've never known And all your life is not your own Don't ever turn your back Or plan on losing track From land to sea, you're still the best of me A separate universe, the sky reversed When satellites ignited day for night Whatever lessons then we never learned Years roll by, they won't return A perfect storm of gold on this battleground With forces unfolding, there's a price to pay For some, there's more than words can say No protection, lethal chemistry still in me Get without this in my head, what do I need? Something I can take, making it what I feel The wrong way down a one-way street That's guaranteed Fly from the Westland to keep me here Many are the times when I've strayed The changes made, hesitating With all profanities, the manacled insanities Together in line Any time a solid moon, a bullet wound A sudden kind of Valentine Fly from the Westland to keep me here Many are the times when I've strayed To stop myself shaking Stay unafraid, am I to find you everywhere? Fly where you can to anyone there III. An Orbital Plane Left alone without reason Remind yourself you're only halfway home Is there someone else I'm recalling made us forget? Still I'm centered in another world of you I never knew Left alone with no feeling And tell yourself you'll take some convincing Ever since a greater something was turned on its side We've been yearning for That other door to our lives open wide Mortal strangers oversold Opinions remain untold Agenda changers no-one knows Arranging more altered egos now Find a keeper to call my name Defining what I became Famous factions all the same In visions that blind the daylight Hiding beyond the Westland sky The hardest set of emotions The ghost of all that you made never fades And was it ever intended from so far away? IV. Dream Stronger The time is now to send it out It's in your hands The world you're waiting for See revealed in unlit fields The higher ground is out of bounds no more As before, this inner distance With every morning, no longer so unsure When again this revelation began the elevation I could not ignore So tell me how with each new day We get by on our own anyway as we are A time for grieving, to still believe again The future faced alone, as before A life for living Beyond imagining the road ahead once more When time and tide fall away and far We'll abide among the stars And in the world you've been waiting for Who should find this unknown door?

Was it always going to be how it appeared Beneath the moonlight? What if I had told you anything you want to hear Would that make it all right? Wasn't it something long denied Claiming the life we should? One of us made the other side One of us never could When so many things got lost along the way We lived without them instead Finally broke down, unable to face the words Nothing again ever said I should have played a different part Been somebody else then One of us made the other cry Remembering somewhen We couldn't find our place in time Remember then Maybe it was left to try We might have stayed for good One of us made the other side One of us never could We couldn't find our place in time Remember then

Beside the life that's lived in others pass by They make their way across an iron sky Inside a world untaken where more events than these Condense to hold out possibilities Fate awaits you, creates new lifelines And then no tomorrow would ever unwind Now how many stay alive If a dream condemned to fade outside of me still survives? The wall that's built around you is undefended No matter where it ends, no matter when If I could make a difference what would you have me do? The heart that broke the best was over you Death in its madness above the west moon shall have no dominion With none gone too soon So this memory will run its course And I choose to never give up more than I'd dare to lose Without remorse Held in hand in a shadowland another place from afar When the sea and the stars are both in line And it's how they'll stay Time prevailing, come what may Fate evades you delayed your future ascent Where it takes you is unintended Signs that hide in the plainest sight never seen Trust the timing of your life to be right

What if I'm not made this way? No understanding words to say One of these days I'll land somewhere If my mind hadn't left me there till now Bells that will keep on ringing in my head They're crystal clear I should have stayed far from here Innocent self that's lost or gained Right or the left brain, who'll decide? What if the right had nothing left Would the left get nothing right? Over the border they're breaking them slowly down Live wires that I've always known Never effective or needed Those days are gone Unrivalled, leave them alone Now it's in my mind to set this straight When would anything ever change it anyway? With no finer reason than believing That these came from many lives Days go by Over the border they're breaking them slowly down And I'm not who I was today In the procession I'm walking to keep ahead The only way that I know how To wake up, to shake down, to make up, forsaken Taken back, carry that negativity Not a hard attack, it's more than that Scattershot, look at us, we're a lot alike Imagine us taking flight Let the sky see your eyes Around you, deception charts a course Compression met With flesh and force, there still is time yet I've seen everything Inherited singular names An unworthy war made madder than the one gone before Recovering but remembering Awakening all other wrongs that belong to the brave They're favoured by their fortune and saved There's a better way somewhere That's far from here I can find When the last impression I leave behind will be mine Believing someday still by my side That life will endlessly find, find a way What if my dreams were fading Would I remember everything? Never in life would your soul leave me Waited until I wasn't there Stay and find your way With your hand in mine And you're not here alone All the hours I was with you Right by your side With the time escaping us, ever knowing I tried to reach you, to be there Where you need to be, always in my heart And you're not far from here

When the dreams were golden Like the game we played The way was clear, no need to hide With all we knew, we couldn't understand We learned to fly but never land Somehow the days will fade away to nothing In all that time has shown Now that I'm alone Do I still follow on this journey without you? In the final moments There's nothing I can bring To keep the dark from beckoning Side by side, we never stood apart And how we close is how wе started Somehow the days will fadе away to nothing Beyond the open sky, they sink into the sun Reflecting in the light around you everywhere All the hours remind me of finding you The order cascading in all ways, for always The space between the place you've been and nowhere Lives torn apart Your identity still a part of me When it ends, remember then how high we flew And how we never knew to come down But I see you now in a blaze of light Sunset of stars so bright A life gone by before my eyes Your secret histories and lost abilities Stay always mine, continue to shine upon me Somewhere, still out there Love will break us down Or it will steal my heart I see you now in storm-leaden clouds A life gone by before my eyes I see you now, I see you now In all ways we shared You're still everywhere
