Deadly nightshade Poison hemlock Feathered serpent Born from teardrops Some say she's crazy To others she's wise To you she brings trouble In a beguiling guise The answers she seeks You pretend to know But the path she walks You cannot follow Wild and free Like waves on the shore She may love you for a while But she will never be yours Her promise is empty Though your love be true Her heart is full And there's no room for you There in the cards Dealt by her hands Is written the fate Of a heartbroken man

Glowing paths to the left and the right Middle is hidden in between the lights Unseen voices beseech you to heed You must choose which way to proceed Will it be fire? Will it be frost? You made the bet Can you take the loss? No forethought or hindsight The world you wanted is a fantasy Sunrise at twilight You see exactly what you want to see Perform your rites and sacraments Pray to gods who came and went Mortal man can't understand Who shakes the hand that shook the hand Will it be famine? Will it be flood? You've got the thirst Who has the blood? Without forethought or hindsight The world you wanted is a fantasy Sunrise at twilight You see exactly what you want to see

In the lateness of the evening In the quiet of the night The emptiness can overwhelm you Until its banished by the light There are no signs of life around You all that you see is dead and grey What was your home is now a wasteland It's all dried up and blown away So seek a path out of the desert And find your way to the sea Point your ship to the horizon Into the rolling waves of green Trees reach for the sky Like waves frozen in time Walk into the sea Drown beneath the leaves

The gentle summer breeze Becomes the chilling wind of fall And nothing seems to last as long As the wait for winter's thaw Time is a mortal's master Just a word to the wise Don't get too comfortable It'll cut you down a size If nothing seems to go your way No matter what you choose You might think you shouldn't press your luck But what have you got to lose? If you're sleeping on the street Or sitting high on a throne Don't get too comfortable You might not be there long The truth is hard to see, my friend From where you choose to view But just because you don't want it to be Doesn't mean it isn't true From joy and happiness To heartbreak and pain Don't get too comfortable Nothing stays the same

Here we go Woke up in the future But nothing shiny and new The world of tomorrow Looks battered and abused Robots riddled with rust Circuits gathering dust Waiting, in twilight For you This is the new future Thought it was yours to explore This is a used future Feels like we've been here before Lights on the horizon May not be what they seem Can't remember a time before now That doesn't feel like a dream The promises of prophets Are not enough to stop it The odds are getting narrow That the target hits the arrow And no clever resort will suffice to deflect it So hold tight Baby all night And in the morning you can look around and see This is the new future Thought it was yours to explore This is a used future Feels like we've been here before We're in a used future Everything around us must fall It's just a new suture On an old wound that cuts through us all

Exploring oceans alone So far come and gone Exploring oceans alone So far come and gone Helping the world to turn But not for getting older All the things that we love again Walking at night with the sky As the world turns It might, until we learn how to fly again And the time is coming in, move on The time has come and gone, move on When the time has come and gone, move on When the time has come and gone, move on When the time has come and gone, move on Move on When the time has come and gone, move on...

Reflecting in the water Looking down The moon comes out From behind the swiftly shifting clouds On wings Of white High above our heads The ibis taking flight Enchained Enshrined Always keeping secrets And always keeping time Once awoken Cannot sleep Lying in the moonlight Trying to remember what seemed like a portent dream On wings Of white The sacred ibis shines Frozen in its flight Enthroned In space Watching over all Never showing its true face
