The Hourglass Effect

Keen are the eyes of the wolf Loveless and hungry they hunt for the hunted Crisp as the frost underfoot Entrails everywhere Lycanthropic-transformation-wanton murder Howling fearless-incantation-lunar transient Handed down through centuries Now the curse descends on me Insicor Insicor Fierce is the tide in my veins Mighty the heart of the wolverine killer Nothing to quiet the pain Blood lust drives me on Ah the children-of the night-hear them singing Random victims-all fall down-torn and bleeding Will i find no sanctuary Silver round to set me free Incisor Incisor Subhuman nature, maintaining the balance To cull all the land Lupine the hunter, a new breed evolving To slaughter the lamb Haunted down through centuries Now the curse descends on me Incisor incisor Incisor incisor

Running from the beast in black Two steps forward, one step back I can't hide; he always finds me, just then... On the edge and looking down Just below, I hit the ground In a flash I'm spinning around again, I can... Dream - in blood red Dream - it real Dream - a nightmare When dark is the night Trapped in oak, I cannot see Buried air engulfing me I cry out, but no-one hears it, just then... All around the walking dead In my room and in my head Just as I'm becoming one of them - back again? Dream - in blood red Dream - it real Dream - a nightmare When dark is the night In ten shades of black (as I sleep), I fly like the wind In ten shades of black (as I sleep), I fly like the wind Freezing and cold - naked and old No teeth in my head and now everyone's laughing Drowning at birth - the end of the earth I'm shot and I'm stabbed and I'm climbing the walls Poisoned and weak - spiders that speak Screwing the ass of the President's daughter Thousands of doors - nuclear wars The aliens are coming and they can see into my soul! In ten shades of black (as I sleep), I fly like the wind In ten shades of black (as I sleep), I fly like the wind

Late last night, the news began to break Mankind's worst fear realised Red sky dawning over seas opaque Hosts the solar suicide Where will you run When there's no use in running? Life-giving sun (life-giving sun) When she draws near, there will be a... Riot on Earth! Riot on Earth! Riot on Earth! Riot on Earth gone wild! Nothing could prepare us for that day Time and tide was running down Social breakdown cross a land of hate Man and beast all as one now We'll see who we are, When the heavens are falling In a flash from afar (see what we are) When the sun comes comes near, there will be a... Riot on Earth! Global extermination Riot on Earth! Panic everywhere Riot on Earth! Mass life annihilation Riot on Earth gone Wild! Where will you run When there's no use in running? Life-giving sun (life-giving sun) When she draws near, there will be a... Riot on Earth! Global extermination Riot on Earth! Panic everywhere Riot on Earth! Mass life annihilation Riot on Earth gone Wild! We'll see who we are (we'll see who we are) We'll know what we are (we'll know what we are) We'll see who we are (we'll see who we are)

Many years ago, I traced the path of falling stars Celestial angels, so near and yet so far If I could have my life a million times over again Still I would never see the reason for it all I look inside myself - a universe of questions Where all the answers seem the same Six billion points of light - and all at once, the silence They cried for help but no-one came. Forgive me if I seem distant and pre-occupied, But what if I'm to be the shepherd of the souls? In dreams I saw the signs - the Tower and the Fire, But youthful eyes, they seldom see A wiser man than I might bring the world a warning, Yet not expect it to believe From deserts to the seas - a fireball from Heaven, Divine in all its irony The very flame of life - affecting our existence, Our executioner-to-be I look inside myself - a universe of questions Where all the answers seem the same Six billion points of light - and all at once, the silence They cried for help but no-one came.

I never got to see The face of the demons confronting me I never had the time To prove myself, remove myself, A paradigm What gives them the right To let them decide On this very night If I lived or died? We're waiting for the call We live together, or we fall We're waiting for the sign All stand in silence - resigned I never knew real love - 'cos I thought All this all lasts forever Or wisdom from above; No-one was watching over Now it's up to them To fashion the end Before it's too late We'll learn of our fate We're waiting for the call We live together, or we fall We're waiting for the sign All stand in silence Hear - three rings then silence The inbox flashing, something coming through The message terse and complicated There's only space for me - this just can't be! We're waiting for the call We live together, or we fall We're waiting for the sign All stand in silence - resigned

SAVE ME From the guilt and the heartache I feel TAKE ME To a higher ground that no-one can find TELL ME How do I leave her this way? TO DIE How can I leave her behind? Heavy the rain that disguises The tears in her eyes Errie the silence that falls As the sentence is heard Nothing seems real in this Longest all of our goodbyes I smile but inside I'm dying Dusk - as the hourglass falls Lovers and losers Lost - in the last kiss of all How can I lose her? I said that I'm staying with her till the end She said it's mankind, not her, I must defend We talked for hours About all the plans we had made Cried at the memory Of when you first told me you cared Now in these final few moments we have, We're alone Right at the end, she was smiling Dusk - as the hourglass falls Lovers and losers Lost - in the last kiss of all How can I lose her? You'll never fly so high You'll never walk alone (She said) You'll never feel my pain, Do this one last thing for me... Goodbye Dusk - as the hourglass falls Lovers and losers Lost - in the last kiss of all How can I lose her?

I heard the sound of people crying And as I turned to walk away A child's hand, held out and dying And all I knew, I leave today The sky was red, I still remember The day we left our world behind And driven mad with guilt and sadness The only way to save mankind! Heavy engines rage with power Pulling clear of there, we must! Solar flames and burning ashes They're still breathing down there, in the dust It's got to be something short of Hell Watching on as the Eagle pulls away You'd think their eyes were surely watching God Passing sentence on Judgement Day And all as one, Flee from engulfing sun Speed of light now, rest a while Close my eyes and think of home What we thought was ours forever All we've built and all that we have known (Gone...) And will we ever find ourselves again On nothing but a distant point of light? Humanity is hanging by a thread, Blind faith in the Arc tonight And all as one, Flee from engulfing sun See how we run Hell sent Leviathan And I'll see the winds blow Our dried-up seeds away And all that lives, so must die In unison today And all this I remember Those last few words she swore in vain "Although I can't be there, I'm watching, And now in you, my spirit shall remain" And there she stands Strange skies and alien lands New age begun Far from Leviathan

Greater men than I Were cowering on the floor It seemed the day Was lost to madness All our yesterdays have burned away In that fateful hour So many passed from view All the promise of forever All our yesterdays have burned away Now I must be strong With all this tension building Something must be done The final chapter filled in now In my hand There's a precious heart-shaped stone Nothing more precious Will I ever own Now nervous eyes I see Are watching every move It seems this day Is lost to madness

EVERYTHING'S GONE Light a candle to NOTHING BELONGS We remember still WE MUST ERASE Are they saying Losing our planet Was just the start or the end? With no way to defend All the loss and the guilt that we feel, DO AS WE SAY Are they crazy? I sense a mutiny Scream if you feel it! Raise your hand in the air In a sign that unites us! With force we come! Strike if you dare, There's a new order rising! On course for total destruction Our leaders swear We must take or die trying! WE SHUT YOU DOWN Cryogenic dreams WAIT FOR THE PROBE They look dead in their eyes WAKE A NEW MAN While we're laying paralysed, Helpless and in the dark They will take All the memories that make us The humans and mortals we are PREPARE TO MUTATE Now or never, I'll lead the mutiny! Scream if your'e with us! We will hang for our crime On a distant horizon! With force we come! Strike if you dare, There's a new order rising! On course for total destruction Our leaders swear We must take or die trying! In gathering numbers, we race to the helm With little resistance No troops or enforcers to be overwhelmed Despite our insistence, There's no-one to guide us at all "It's got to be me!" With force we come! Lucid or real, Was it this I was dreaming? Set course for self-preservation Lost in a void, but we must keep believing!

How many times have we tried to save the world? How many dreams have been lost and not recalled? How many lives did it take to see What a peaceful place our Earth could be? How many times have we tried to save the world? How many gods did we make to save our souls? How many sins did we try to hide away? How much love did we turn to hate? In a sea of blind faith we suffocate How many times have we tried to save the world? We fought each other for far too long On land we thought would go on and on Now everything we had is gone, And it all seems clearer now... How many times have we tried and tried to... How many times have we tried to save the world? How many times have we wished upon a star? For ages long we have stumbled blind With no regard of our borrowed time The roses burned and the gardens died And it all seems clearer now... How many times did we try... to... save... the...
