Apex III (Praise for the Burning Soul)

Sapphire vessel gaining speed Frozen dead-air atmosphere Light-years above our bathysphere Withered mountains, raging seas Dashing through alien grounds Expanding shadows, buzzing drones White dots flicker on the screen Three-headed captain steering wheel Figure intact, Apex three New constellations now revealed Sapphire vessel gaining speed Frozen dead-air atmosphere Light-years above our bathysphere Withered mountains, raging seas Dashing through alien grounds Expanding shadows, buzzing drones Cracking mirror, spider eyes Spreading wings the crimson flies Lightning awaking the inner light Our vessel gliding in burning skies Sirens calling, homesick deaf Making peace with former selves Lightning awaking the inner light Our vessel gliding in burning skies

Just out of mere naive curiosity Did you really have to go and off the referee I do admire your skill and your accuracy But would you mind and spare the rest of the community Now Now the score is even but what are the odds I swear i saw a silhouette step out the fog I know you speak in maths but no longer think You wrote the Good Book with your blood and disappearing ink I'm grateful for your time and generosity But did you really have to go and off the referee Drunk on fear You've been musing for the King Of Born-Dead Dreams I'm tired of playing along Bottle up your tears ship them overseas Please tag it as product of the whinery At time I shut my eyes the key breaks in the lock That's when i see your Silhouette etched out in chalk I guess we're all entitled to a little slack After all the drama caused end the heart attacks Loud and clear You've been musing for the Queen Of Sour & Sweet I'm tired of messing around Here Bottle up your tears ship them overseas Please tag it as product of your whinery At time I shut my eyes the key breaks in the lock That's when i see your Silhouette etched out in chalk I guess we're all entitled to a little slack After all the drama caused end the heart attacks Now Drunk on fear You've been musing for the King Of Born-Dead Dreams I'm tired of hanging around here Loud and clear You've been musing for the Queen Of Sour & Sweet I'm tired of messing around Here

Under The Hood A ghost in uniform Is pounding at my door They've staged an intervention To even out the scores There's cause for celebration But I can laugh no more They're damaged to the core I'm hanging on Tonight we'll find out What's under the hood Self-inflicted wounds Never mind whatever we've gone through It's a miracle Two emeralds shining through There's tension in the room And static in the air His Highness fired the groom A Victorian love affair Threw in the towel for good Then had to make amends But now the fun begins So let it out You know the clouds Will smother the Sun A tough-love momentum A monument for the Fallen for the Saints It's a miracle Two emeralds shine again Tonight we'll find out What's under the hood Our self-inflicted wounds Realize the hell that we've gone through It's a miracle Two emeralds shining through It's a miracle Those emerald eyes of yours

Winding through the grass we contemplate Immaculate panes of glass We try to make it last but we're running late And tidal waves they close in fast The corporate clown was sacrificed An inside job, friendly fire I had a point of view but I'm losing sight In the blink of an eye Demons unleashed! You're my lighthouse, you're my rock in the sea Let thrive, sheer attack and release You're my pride, you're my hopes and my fears Alas! Swing Gang's on call, on emergency A brutal change of scenery A lightning bolt flirting with a shooting star They'll figure out which one is which Supposed to carry on, but I travel light A journey down to hell and back I couldn't make a stand so instead I lied And shielded my eyes Attack and release! You're my lighthouse, you're my rock in the sea Let it out, all demons unleashed! You're my pride, you're my hopes and my fears Alas! Demons unleashed! You're my lighthouse, you're my rock in the sea Let thrive, sheer attack and release You're my pride, you're my hopes and my fears Alas... With horns and a tail They Mock the division of the sea Our enlightenment's at stake So they cut the power Hand-monitor our fears

Looking out from an attic Vultures arrow the sky Refugees fleeing a conflict Windows reflect in my eyes My train of thoughts missed a station Got off at Memory Lane Oh she was kind of a looker We were eleven or ten Always on the run Smothered in southern affection She sure would never complain Bad sitcom shot on location Love and artificial rain See the prodigal sun Who's always on the run Lost it and shot the messenger It should have raised my alarm Came back for more, i surrendered We bailed and let in the dark But here you'll shine on forever Hovering now and then Majestic flower of April At times you'll surface again Bearer of heartbreaking news Rain sodden April's Fool Here you'll shine on forever Hovering now and then Majestic flower of April In time you'll surface again Bearer of heartbreaking news Rain sodden April's Fool Artificial son Forever on the run
