Harvest Moon

Yet again you're coming back I have no comfort for you this time and again Say something there inside irks like a splinter of ice? A thorny thought that haunts your nights... You're fit enough to mark it now That in this world we live, most paths you take can't be undone Whichever one you take, there's always some regret Of what might have been had you thought twice Say you've been seeing things There's a woman in the deep You can see her with her outstretched arms "How come you know, how do you know that?" The night fires burnt There's a house full of fear and a putrid smell of rot "There with me forever..." There's a slipknot on that bough that's tempting you to its embrace... The trivia always dispel doubts "Odd you should be saying that..." When did you last eat or wake up? "Funny but I don't think I..." Remember how you got in here and where you're bound? Your silence speaks of things your voice won't dare to shout It's sad but true, just face it Remember The things you'll do they happened all the same... You can't turn away once you set out You're bound to be coming in here Agonized over doubts These swarming pictures in your head Will all break out These swarming visions in your mind Your future's past Remember...

"Return It's time to face your fears my friend See through Behind this cloak of void there's one to tell the tale Hear me now..." There's me right there by the lake With someone else beside me We're a soft winged bird as oars stretch out with glee She takes my faces in her hands - the smell of rose and lavender It fills the air with... A kiss the last she'd ever give Ain't it just as if we said goodbye? The smile on her lips And she melted into darkness... "Hang on to this one Don't let this thread escape you Wipe the cobwebs away" And then it breaks, the vision fades Out, disappears Again No turning back I'm tangled there inside my maze A touch of lips upon my face God, it felt as we said goodbye The burn she left to me As she melted into darkness A twist - my laughter fills the air And drops of water feel like rain Then it all disappears As we melt into darkness... It breaks... And then it breaks, the vision fades Out, disappears Again No turning back I'm tangled there inside my maze There's no turning back It's hidden there inside of me Lost inside of this maze And yearning to break free...

The day that I first felt pain The day that I knew I'm else The joy of them open my eyes felt As if they were being pulled out The fear that my father would evoke He'd say this affliction runs in blood "You're just a burden of mine You're just your mother's son You're just a devil's lot A burden of mine..." "You pester me with your weeping Feel it child You can't thank enough till you feel it Feel it child You'll be a sack of hurt when I'm finished with you You're going to feel it Feel it lad..." The kids they would call me a lame The stones they would throw to entertain themselves The show they would make of my polio leg The blood iron-taste in your mouth Won't you feel it lad... (x2) The blood-iron taste... The blood-iron taste in your mouth Won't you feel it lad? The blood-iron taste... "Dry your eyes They all just seem to be..."

A bright new day defeats the shade New hopes materialize I'm going to break this ring of hate I'll a brand new start The whole world bursts suddenly wide open This life is mine Just don't know why I never dared Free myself from this dump Behind the woods over the lake... There's a brand new man waiting to be made Won't let fear take me over Brace yourself... I'm going to leave it all behind Just pull yourself together... Pry the door wide open You'll never know if you don't try... I'm going to leave the past behind Just pull yourself together... Just pry the door wide open You'll never know if you don't try... A new man A brand new man in the making A brand new world wide open Just pull yourself together A brand new world wide open You'll never know if you don't Set out with mists there to protect By the moonlit night Run away, run away... I'd better not think what if he finds out A warm wet circle of fear My heart begins to pound At the thought of the pounding that I'd have (x2) I'm going to leave it all behind Just pull yourself together... Pry the door wide open You'll never know if you don't I'm going to leave it all behind Just pull yourself together... Just pry the door wide open You'll never know if you don't

(x3) Got to get away Say I got to get away 'fore I'm gone... Dug me a hole in the ground A familiar taste of salt There to wet this parched throat and lips Only the pearls of sweat on my brow Hope I never wake up Hope I never wake up The sun hurts my eyes through planks The slanting hot rocks of burning fire A foe and friend won't let me go numb (x2) Hope I never wake up Hope I never wake up (x4) Got to get away Say I got to get away 'fore I'm gone...

Over the mire, the emerald lights Forgotten songs they chant They spin in their dance of woe "Bless the night undone beneath our feet Audacious moonlit fingers sneak To strip her off her veil Holding our breaths, we give in to sweet decline Blunted our senses, yet somehow they're sharp as a knife Falling Strident shrill Falling, soaked in this pallid light..." Taste The blood once spilled Devours your insides Sends you raving mad In the reel The procession of faces clots misshapen Though weary feet don't carry you Get in the ring and dance The swirl of shapes and shadows you Get in the ring and dance Though weary feet won't carry you Get in the ring and dance The swirl of shapes and shadows you The endless circle Palsy Swept away in boundless waning Waning... "Curse the ground beneath our feet The pallid touch of moonlight etches deep It etches deep... Blessed be anguish that we feel What goes around comes around eventually Time seems quite a trickster Are we but a hoax? Holding our breaths, we give in to sweet decline Blunted our senses, yet somehow they're sharp as a knife Falling Strident shrill Falling, soaked in this pallid light..." Though weary feet don't carry you Get in the ring and dance The swirl of shapes and shadows you Get in the ring and dance Though weary feet won't carry you Get in the ring and dance The swirl of shapes and shadows you The endless circle Palsy Swept away in boundless waning Waning...

"It's in your hands," she told me I can hear it as if now "Whenever winds blow arms will hug And it's warm again" I started out the run once And I kept running till I cracked Buried alive in my own crust But I'm a boy now and I can cry... "Home's in your hands," she told me Hiding bruises on her arms "Don't be afraid we'll be alright It's going to change, I promise" "Come, it's time to let this go We will be alright now, we'll chase away the storm Come now, it's time to let this go Yes, we're going to be alright now We'll find our way back home Back home" "It's all in your hands" Oh save it now D'you think the lesson served me right? Where's your little boy now? Right on his way to atone for what he'd done "Come, it's time to let this go We will be alright now, we'll chase away the storm Come now, it's time to let this go Yes, we're going to be alright now We'll find our way back home Back home" Back in my shed make an amend I'm just like him The face is grinning Cut...tear it wide open The smell of flesh in his room The festering wound Oh boy it's so much better Guess the lesson served you right... Never going to let this go A beautiful lie... Never going to let this go A beautiful lie... Never going to let this go A beautiful lie... I am never going to let this go... "Come, it's time to let this go Yeah, we're going to be alright now We'll chase away the storm Come now, it's time to let this go Yeah, we're going to be alright We'll find our way back home"

The fall of dusk The sun it hides a heavy face Steps in the gloom That I am... Beside the lake The ripples sing the songs I dare not hear Disclose the sin Unmask the guilt Release the dark... Confess to wind and trees and lake water This oozing life lost in time, I... Confess to wind and trees and lake water Lost in time with this oozing... I am never moved Stuck with the first night I ran out of his room A rust coloured scene of oozing life... Opaque the air Talk to myself Limbo of me, I Limbo of... Oozing life, keep running Oozing life, keep running Keep coming on Time and time again Bound to relive the night I dealt the blow The night I returned To feast my eyes... Confess to wind and trees and lake water This oozing life lost in time, I... Confess to wind and trees and lake water Lost in time with this oozing...

The sun was down when I came to A burst of fire with every move Though last night seems all but a blur At the back of my head lies in wait for the truth The fear that grips the premonition... Fire Through window panes a faint light a gleaming The flicker gives life to what's still Holding a candle firm in my hands I've returned into his bed and I saw it again That riven face in puddle of blood And then it stirred all at once... I walk fires in me The glow is spread like disease I walk fires in me It glows away like disease I walk fires in me The glow is spread like disease I walk fires in me I walk fires in me I never wanted us to go this way, but "it's better you than me" Was it not what you'd say? You tossed the dice As the candle slips out of my hands That what's been left of life in this dreadful frame is... That night Something broke inside Things change Things are changing I am no longer my Self... Toss the dice I never wanted us to go this way, but "it's better you than me" Was it not what you'd say? You tossed the dice As the candle slips out of my hands That what's been left of life in this dreadful place is Fire...

Passing by the lake One would see him wildly Waving arms Or with a vacant stare Sitting on his haunches What a sight... What a sight... What a sight... He's such a grim grotesque Dancing... Dancing there in the moonlight Or in turn crying out his eyes He speaks to the water... Another poor damned soul Or is it? Who loved the hill and the cloud As he tried to capture a moon in his trembling embrace He talks to the water... Ripe is the time I immerse Adam's ale or devil's brew As the water breaks Taking me back inside Brought up to code I'll be cleansed Of the filth that I've become As the waters break Taking me back inside Going under... "Fu I loved the high cloud and the hill. Alas, he died of alcohol. And Li Po also died drunk. He tried to embrace a moon In the Yellow River." Ripe is the time I immerse Adam's ale or devil's brew As the water breaks Taking me back inside Brought up to code I'll be cleansed Of the filth that I've become As the waters break Taking me back inside Going under...

(x2) Got to get away Say I got to get away fore I'm gone... Dug me a hole in the ground A familiar taste of salt There to wet this parched throat and lips Only the pearls of sweat on my brow The sun hurts my eyes through planks The slanting hot roads of burning fire A foe and a friend won't let me go numb Hope I never wake up I'm hoping that I'm hoping Hope I never wake up I'm hoping that I'm hoping Hope I never wake up I'm hoping that I'm hoping Hope I never wake up I am never awaken... Let me go numb
