Every seconds chance,
every moments dance,
every fearful prayer,
every moment shared,
every battle won,
every end that once begun,
every second counts,
because its never coming back.
Reign inside of us,
endless looking back,
claiming our souls and our hearts,
its easy to forget

An ocean stare well's up in your eyes,
the moon bows its head in respect to the sunrise,
the winds delicate breath is playing with the tide,
and old boats lay on thier backs as if they were tired.
To all sea and all sky we are unimportant,
can you see can you hear its heartbeat is silent?
The anchor is firmly in the sea bed,
the wind carries every word and whisper said,
the owl slowely twists its neck.
and by the shore a dog and swan lay dead
T o all sea and all sky we are unimportant,
can you see can you hear its heart beat is silent?

The heritage

The father to his son,
says you have to be weak to be strong,
you have to be scared to be brave,
you have to know fear to be saved.
The son to his father,
says I'm too scared to be a man,
I'm too dumb to be a fool,
father help me understand
and he says
War war war,
war against your soul,
dig dig dig,
dig your coffin's hole.
Everyone must face their demons,
and now the turn is yours.
Father what's it all about?
am I too in to get out?
am I too guilty to be free?
are the whole world sinners or just me?
Son you've got the whole thing wrong,
the road is neither short nor long,
the answer's neither white nor black,
and it weighs heavy on your back.
Go go go,
go until you're old,
run run run,
run to catch your soul.
Every man must learn to love his demon,
your demon's name is yours
War war war,
war against your soul,
dig dig dig,
dig your coffin's hole.
Everyone must face their demons
and now the turn is yours

Ashes over embers

The sun goes down on the horizon,
like ashes over embers,
the day's light has gone,
the stars appear like diamonds,
in the teary eyes of the bastard son,
as he walks into the ocean,
with his arms open,
saying, 'I surrender utterly,
i will always remember your beauty.
The moon reaches down,
through the glow of a blood red sky,
he says 'please, release me,
for I've lost my faith in the light,
he says 'I surrender utterly,
i will always remember your beauty.
I surrender.
I will always remember,
Perfectly.

The washing hands

Underneath the outside is the inside,
filled with grief and white lies that he hides.
The wind will carry your thoughts,
into the devil's ear so he might hear.
On his mind the truth lays a burden,
in the lock the key's neck is broken.
The wind will carry your thoughts,
into the devil's ear so he might hear.
Testify against me, I am guilty.
Tell my lie, only truth can release me.
The wind will carry your thoughts,
into the devil's ear so he might hear.
The lonely voice of God,
does not reach here.

Soul sirens

Oh to kiss the ruby lips.
Oh to stroke the midnight hair.
I pictured you in the bed,
your golden shadow curves the air.
Oh how your skin pulses with liquid light,
and oh how the rivers of the earth meet at your spine.
Bodies in line,
yours against mine.
Can you still taste my lips?
Feel my breathe against your hips?
I pictured you in shallow light,
your shoulder blades would carve the night.
Oh how your veins pump fermented wine,
and oh how your sweat taste of life.
Do i love her?
Bodies in line,
yours against mine.

I wouldn't change,
anything about the past,
anything.
My lovers hand,
may execute me in the end,
but thats ok.
hallalujah,
the world is ending for you and i.
I want to feel,
curtain about anything,
anything.
I want to feel,
secure about the things i love,
but there's no way.
hallalujah,
the world is ending for you and i.

The giving hands

Funny how it grows,
you think you hold the world but then it lets you go.
Such a simple thing,
can ask of you the single truth you cannot bring.
the choice has been made for you,
without you,
to come true.
So tenderly,
the rope around your neck will gently start to squeeze.
In death is your life,
the love and hope you need can simply be denied
the choice has been made for you,
without you,
to come true.
Oh it's not your fault,
you're not to blame,
don't be ashamed.
The choice has been made for you,
without you,
to come true,
Come and go as you do,
we love you,
whenWe want to.

Dew of glowing dawn,
deliver us from our fears into each others arms,
carve the memory of us into your heart.
Tick, tock,
the hours are gone,
all lovers learn.
Tick, tock,
the hours are gone.
Lover,
never forget me.
I love you,
she said with a smile of heavens hue,
the sound of a thousand lonely daggers buried into my heart.
Tick, tock,
the hours are gone,
all lovers learn.
Tick, tock,
the hours are gone.
Lover,
never forget me.

No more like a daughter than when sleeping.
Be that little girl for the first time in your life.
Don't be affraid little girl,
to hold your heart out to this world,
you are beautiful.

Fragile flower,
little soldier,
you are glorious,
you are good,
you will always be remembered,
for your beauty and your youth,
silent warrior,
virgin martyr,
in the light you are a saint,
through the hearts and souls of angels,
there will always ring your name,
from the river,
to the ocean,
you are heading for the sun,
where the mountains ,
and the valleys of the heavens,
sing your song.
