[Cygnia]

On waves of love my heart is breaking
And stranger still my self control I can't rely on anymore
New tides surprise - my world it's changing
Within this frame an ocean swells - behind this smile I know it well

Beneath a lover's moon I'm waiting
I am the pilot of the storm - adrift in pleasure I may drown
I built this ship - it is my making
And furthermore my self control I can't rely on anymore
I know why - I know why
Crazy on a ship of fools
Crazy on a ship of fools
Turn this boat around - back to my loving ground

Who claims that no man is an island
While I land up in jeopardy - more distant from you by degrees
I walk this shore in isolation
And at my feet eternity draws ever sweeter plans for me
I know why - I know why
Crazy on a ship of fools
Crazy on a ship of fools
Turn this boat around - back to my loving ground
Oh no, oh no - ship of fools --

[Greywind]

Every night that goes between
I feel a little less
As you slowly go away from me
This is only another test

Every night you do not come
Your softness fades away
Did I ever really care that much?
Is there anything left to say?

Every hour of fear I spend
My body tries to cry
Living through each empty night
A deadly calm inside

I haven't felt this way I feel
Since many a years ago
But in those years and the lifetime's past
I did not deal with the road

And I did not deal with you, I know
Though the love has always been
So I search to find an answer there
So I can truly win

Every hour of fear I spend
My body tries to cry
Living through each empty night
A deadly calm inside

So I try to say goodbye, my friend
I'd like to leave you with something warm
But never have I been a blue calm sea
I have always been a storm

Always been a storm
Ooh, always been a storm
I have always been a storm

We were frail

She said
"Every night he will break your heart"
I should have known from the first
I'd be the broken hearted

I loved you from the start
Save us
And not all the prayers in the world
Could save us

[Greywind]

Spending all my nights, all my money, goin' out on the town
Doin' anything just to get you off of my mind
But when the morning comes, I'm right back where I started again
And tryin' to forget you is just a waste of time

Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong and I just can't live without you

All day long, wearing a mask of false bravado
Tryin' to keep up a smile that hides the tears
But as the sun goes down, I get that empty feeling again
How I wish to God that you were here

Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong and I just can't live without you

Now that I put it all together
Give me the chance to make you see
Have you used up all the love in your heart?
Nothing left for me, is there nothing left for me?

Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
(Listen, baby)
I was wrong and I just can't live without you
I was wrong and I just can't live

Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong and I just can't live without you

[Greywind]

If looks could kill then I know she would
She's playing the part, you know it's understood
I know the second glance was my first mistake
Well, I took the chance that I had to take

Fire in her eyes made my blood run cold
She took me by surprise and I'm

Spellbound, dreaming of you all the time
Spellbound, feels like I'm falling over the line
Spellbound, will my head be clear by the morning light

I don't make promises that I can't keep
But I better think it over, I'm in way too deep
I'm shook up, paralyzed by her icy stare
Long legs and her golden hair

Late night love is on my mind
She took me by surprise and I'm

Spellbound, dreaming of you all the time
Spellbound, feels like I'm falling over the line
Spellbound, will my head be clear by the morning light

I'm on a one way ride to where I just don't know
She put a spell on me, the fantasy comes and goes

I clear my head in the morning light
Start all over when I feel alright
I've gotta shape up before it's too late
I think I'm losin' my mind and I'm

Spellbound, dreaming of you all the time
Spellbound, feels like I'm falling over the line
Spellbound, will my head be clear, can I make it alright

Spellbound, can't find a reason, can't find a rhyme
Spellbound, give me a signal, show me a sign
Spellbound, will my head be clear in the morning light

 

[Greywind]

Oooh
Looking at you tonight
Breathless at what I see
In your eyes there's someone
Come to carry me

Some never have a chance
Some throw their chance away
Now it's in my hands
I face it unafraid

If we ever did one thing that was right...

We gave it ALL FOR LOVE
Saved it ALL FOR LOVE
Didn't we touch the fire above
And make music out of madness?
We gave it ALL FOR LOVE

(Whoa-oa-oa)

Everything still to come
One thing will stay the same
We will heal each other
And never turn away

To my lonely heart you are my home...

We gave it ALL FOR LOVE
Saved it ALL FOR LOVE
Didn't we touch the fire above
And make music out of madness?
We gave it ALL FOR LOVE

To my lonely heart you are my home...

(Oooh, to love someone)
(Oooh, to love someone)
Did we touch the fire above (To love someone)
It will carry us forever

Didn't we feel the fire for love (To love someone)
Tear down the walls for love (To love someone)
Didn't we do it ALL FOR LOVE (To love someone)
And make music out of madness?
We gave it all, we gave it ALL FOR LOVE

Show me the way to your heart (Whoa-oa-oa)
Show me the way to your heart
Show me the way, yeah
(Whoa-oa-oa)

[Greywind]

My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away
From me you couldn't see
How I adored you
So close, so close
And yet so far away

Carried your books from school
Playing make-believe you're married to me
You were fifth grade, I was sixth
When we came to be

Walking home every day over
Barnegat Bridge and Bay
Till we grew into the me and you
Who went our separate ways

My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away
From me you couldn't see
How I adored you
So close, so close
And yet so far

Headed for city lights
Climbed the ladder up
to fortune and fame
I worked my fingers to the bone
Made myself a name

Funny, I seem to find that
no matter how the years unwind
Still I reminisce about the girl I miss
And the love I left behind

My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away
From me you couldn't see
How I adored you
So close, so close
And yet so far

All my life I will remember
How warm and tender
We were way back then
Though I'm feeling sad regrets
I know I won't ever forget
You, my childhood friend

My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away
From me you couldn't see
How I adored you
So close, so close
And yet so far

[Greywind]

Everything dies baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty and
Meet me tonight in Atlantic City

[Old Man]

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound

He pulls the spitting high tension wires down

Helpless people on a subway train

Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down

As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

Oh no, they say he's got to go

Go go Death Tribble

[Cygnia]

I always heard that first line as "a terrible smell"...

[Enforcer84]

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

Hoist the mainsail, here I come

Ain't no room on board for the insincere

You're my witness, I'm your mutineer

 

I was born to rock the boat

Some may sink but we will float

Grab your coat, let's get out of here

You're my witness, I'm your mutineer

 

Long ago we laughed at shadows

Lightning flashed and thunder followed us

It could never find us here

You're my witness, I'm your mutineer

 

Long ago we laughed at shadows

Lightning flashed and thunder followed us

It could never find us here

You're my witness, I'm your mutineer

[Enforcer84]

Some prayers never reach the sky

Some wounds never heal

They still say someday the South will rise

Man, I want to see that deal

 

I don't want to grow old gracefully

I don't want to go 'til it's too late I'll

be some old man in the road somewhere

Kneeling down in the dust by the side of the Interstate

 

I am a renegade

I've been a rebel all my days

I am a renegade

I've been a rebel all my days

 

We were hopelessly outnumbered

It was a lost cause all along

But when we heard the bugles call

We swore we'd stand or fall together right or wrong

 

We ain't seen no reconstruction here

Just the scorched earth all around

And the high school band played "Dixieland"

While they tore our tattered flags and banners down

 

I am a renegade

I've been a rebel all my days

I am a renegade

I've been a rebel all my days

 

Some prayers never reach the sky

Some wars never end

Some dreams refuse to die

Next time I would rather break than bend

 

I am a renegade

I've been a rebel all my days

I am a renegade

I've been a rebel all my days

[Greywind]

You saw me standing by the old
Corner of the main street
And the lights are flashing on your window sill
All alone ain't much fun
So you're looking for the thrill
And you know just what it takes and where to go

Don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after

Feel the breeze deep on the inside
Look you down into your well
If you can, you'll see the world in all his fire
Take a chance
Like all dreamers can't find another way
You don't have to dream it all, just live a day

Don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it till the morning after

Pretty looking road,
Try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
Don't ask me why I'll keep my promise
Melt the ice
And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance
But fear is in your soul
Some people call it a one night stand
But we can call it paradise

Don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after

Save a prayer 'til the morning after

[Greywind]

red rain is coming down
red rain
red rain is pouring down
pouring down all over me

I am standing up at the water's edge in my dream
I cannot make a single sound as you scream
it can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch
this place is so quiet, sensing that storm

red rain is coming down
red rain
red rain is pouring down
pouring down all over me

well I've seen them buried in a sheltered place in this town
they tell you that this rain can sting, and look down
there is no blood around see no sign of pain
hay ay ay no pain
seeing no red at all, see no rain

red rain is coming down
red rain
red rain is pouring down
pouring down all over me

red rain
putting the pressure on much harder now
to return again and again
just let the red rain splash you
let the rain fall on your skin
I come to you defences down
with the trust of a child

red rain is coming down
red rain
red rain is pouring down
pouring down all over me
and I can't watch any more
no more denial
it's so hard to lay down in all of this
red rain is coming down
red rain is pouring down
red rain is coming down all over me
I see it
red rain is coming down
red rain is pouring down
red rain is coming down all over me
I'm bathing in it
red rain coming down
red rain is coming down
red rain is coming down all over me
I'm begging you
red rain coming down
red rain coming down
red rain coming down
red rain coming down
over me in the red red sea
over me
over me
red rain

[Cancer]

From the same artist, earlier in his career, a great RPG soundtrack song ...

 

"Hey Mac, see you down the Dolce Vita!

"Get back, we don't have time

'Cos I hear we're sending off the heroes

When the year goes, (they're) out of the bay,

Trying to find a way

to make it alive"

 

"So long," said four men to their families

"Be strong till we get back home

And if not, take care of all the children

Until then just hope and pray

We're gonna find a way

to make it alive"

 

"You guys are crazy!"

 

They shout and then we leave the harbour.

In doubt, they're acting weird

And the sea is whipping up a welcome

If hell come we're all easy prey,

Trying to find a way

to make it alive

 

"You guys are crazy!"

 

The captain's hand shook for

the guys to get in place

He said, "Let's look behind your face".

 

With each corner covered, they were all around

Waiting for the midnight bell to sound.

 

"Out of sight," cried Aaron through his glasses

"Don't fight" said Gorham's smile

All the while, his hand was on my shoulder

I was scared of being an easy prey,

Trying to find a way

to make it alive

 

I won't be easy prey trying to find a way to make it alive.

[Old Man]

I always heard that first line as "a terrible smell"...

It would have fit better with the last line.

[Greywind]

The song came and went
Like the times that we spent
Hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent
I laughed and she'd smile
It would last for awhile
You don't know what you got till you lose it all again

Listen to the mandolin rain
Listen to the music on the lake
Listen to my heart break every time she runs away
Listen to the banjo wind
A sad song drifting low
Listen to the tears roll
Down my face as she turns to go

A cool evening dance
Listening to the bluegrass band takes the chill
From the air till they play the last song
I'll do my time
Keeping you off my mind but there's moments
That I find, I'm not feeling so strong

Listen to the mandolin rain
Listen to the music on the lake
Listen to my heart break every time she runs away
Listen to the banjo wind
A sad song drifting low
Listen to the tears roll
Down my face as she turns to go

Running down by the lake shore
She did love the sound of a summer storm
It played on the lake like a mandolin
Now it's washing her away once again

Listen to the mandolin rain
Listen to the music on the lake
Listen to my heart break every time she runs away
Listen to the banjo wind
A sad song drifting low
Listen to the tears roll
Down my face as she turns to go

The boat's steaming in
I watch the side wheel spin and I
Think about her when I hear that whistle blow
I can't change my mind
I knew all the time that she'd go
But that's a choice I made long ago

Listen to the mandolin rain
Listen to the music on the lake
Listen to my heart break every time she runs away
Listen to the banjo wind
A sad song drifting low
Listen to the tears roll
Down my face as she turns to go

[Greywind]

You can look at the menu, but you just can't eat
You can feel the cushion, but you can't have a seat
You can dip your foot in the pool, but you can't have a swim
You can feel the punishment, but you can't commit the sin

And you want her, and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame
You can build a mansion, but you just can't live in it
You're the fastest runner but you're not allowed to win
Some break the rules, and let you cut the cost
The insecurity is the thing that won't get lost

You can see the summit but you can't reach it
It's the last piece of the puzzle but you just can't make it fit
Doctor says you're cured but you still feel the pain
Aspirations in the clouds but your hopes go down the drain

No one ever is to blame, No one ever is to blame

[Greywind]

Down in the southwest Virginia town of Richlands
I fell in love with an Appalachian girl
She lived in a long line of little row houses
On the side of an old strip mining hill

 

Oh, she walked along on the jagged ridge
And looked as far as she could see
But the hills out there so up and down
You only see as far as the next big ridge

 

Every time I see her face
On the street in the hollow on the hill
Another time and another place
I feel her in my heart still

 

Every time I see her face
On the street in the hollow 'round the bend
I see her in my mind and then
I go down the road not taken again, taken again

 

Oh, the coal dust settles on the window display
Gotta change it about every other day
Oh, some things never change way out here
But outsider could always remain that way

 

Oh, she walked along on the jagged ridge
She told me she was sittin' there thinkin' of me
But every time I tried to take her away
She alway ran back to the rocks and the trees

 

Every time I see her face

On the street in the hollow on the hill
Another time and another place
I feel her in my heart still

 

Every time I see her face

On the street in the hollow 'round the bend
I see her in my mind and then
I go down the road not taken again
Oh, not taken, taken again, not taken again

 

Oh, I went back there after many years
Oh, so, so curious and so secretly
Oh, as I looked on, I held back a tear
Oh, the road not taken overcoming me

 

Oh, I saw her, she was sittin' there
Older, thinner on the front porch
It seemed the light a little brighter there
Or maybe, I still carried the forgotten torch

 

Every time I see her face
On the street in the hollow on the hill
Another time and another place
I see her in my heart still

 

Every time I see her face
On the street in the hollow 'round the bend
I see her in my mind and then
I go down the road not taken again

 

Oh, I go down the road not taken, yeah
Taken again not taken, taken again
Yeah yeah yeah

[Greywind]

Met my old lover in the grocery store
The snow was falling, Christmas Eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve

 

She didn't recognize the face at first
But then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried

 

We took her groceries to the checkout stand
The food was totaled up and bagged
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
As the conversation dragged

 

We went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldn't find an open bar
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store
And we drank it in her car

 

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how

 

She said she'd married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would have liked to say she loved the man
But she didn't like to lie

 

I said the years had been a friend to her
And that her eyes were still as blue
But in those eyes I wasn't sure
If I saw doubt or gratitude

 

She said she saw me in the record stores
And that I must be doing well
I said the audience was heavenly
But the traveling was hell

 

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how

 

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to time
Reliving in our eloquence
Another 'Auld Lang Syne'

 

The beer was empty and our tongues were tired
And running out of things to say
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
And I watched her drive away

 

Just for a moment I was back at school
And felt that old familiar pain
And as I turned to make my way back home
The snow turned into rain

[Cygnia]

There's a fine, fine line between a lover and a friend;
There's a fine, fine line between reality and pretend;
And you never know 'til you reach the top if it was worth the uphill climb.

There's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of time.

There's a fine, fine line between a fairy tale and a lie;
And there's a fine, fine line between "You're wonderful" and "Goodbye."
I guess if someone doesn't love you back it isn't such a crime,
But there's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of your time.

And I don't have the time to waste on you anymore.
I don't think that you even know what you're looking for.
For my own sanity, I've got to close the door
And walk away...
Oh...

There's a fine, fine line between together and not
And there's a fine, fine line between what you wanted and what you got.
You gotta go after the things you want while you're still in your prime...

There's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of time.

[death tribble]

If I ask you difficult questions
If I make improper suggestions
Would you find that a risk to your health ?
Would you put me up on the bookshelf ?
With the books
And the plants

Desperate but not serious
Your kisses drive me delirious

If I were kind and adoring
How would that be ? Very boring
Mister Pressman, with your penknife
Always asking about my sex life
And who with
And how many times

Desperate but not serious
Your kisses drive me delirious

All the advice seems so unkind
If you don't stop, you will go blind
They tell you it's none of their business
And console you with a big kiss
On the lips
And on the back of your neck

Desperate but not serious
Your kisses drive me delirious
Desperate but not serious
Your kisses drive me delirious
Desperate but not serious
Your kisses drive me delirious

[death tribble]

It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again
(Hey)

Damn, who knew ?
All the planes we flew
Good things we've been through
That I'll be standing right here talking to you
'Bout another path
I know we loved to hit the road and laugh
But something told me that it wouldn't last
Had to switch up
Look at things different, see the bigger picture
Those were the days
Hard work forever pays
Now I see you in a better place (see you in a better place)

Uh
How can we not talk about family when family's all that we got ?
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
And now you gon' be with me for the last ride

It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again (I see you again)
We've come a long way (yeah, we came a long way) from where we began (you know we started)
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again (let me tell you)
When I see you again

(Aah oh, aah oh
Wooooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Yeah

First you both go out your way
And the vibe is feeling strong
And what's small turn to a friendship
A friendship turn to a bond
And that bond will never be broken
The love will never get lost (and the love will never get lost)
And when brotherhood come first
Then the line will never be crossed
Established it on our own
When that line had to be drawn
And that line is what we reach
So remember me when I'm gone (remember me when I'm gone)

How can we not talk about family when family's all that we got ?
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
And now you gon' be with me for the last ride

So let the light guide your way, yeah
Hold every memory as you go
And every road you take, will always lead you home, home

It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again

(Aah oh)
(Uh)
(Aah oh)
(Yeah)
(Wooooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Ya, ya)
When I see you again
(Uh)
See you again
(Wooooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh)
When I see you again

[death tribble]

Just to admit one mistake
That can be hard to take
I know we've made them fall
But only fools come back for more
Being the fool I am
I figured in all your plans, darling
Your perfumed letters didn't say
That you'd be leaving any day

So you win again, you win again
Here I stand again, the loser
And just for fun you took my love and run,
But love had just begun

I can't refuse her
But now I know that I'm the fool
Who won your love to lose it all
When you come back, you win again
And I'm not proud to say
I let love slip away
Now I'm the one who's crying
I'm a fool there's no denying
When will my heartache end ?
Will my whole life depend on fading memories
You took the game this time with ease

So you win again, you win again
Here I stand again, the loser
And just for fun you took my love and run,
But love had just begun

[death tribble]

Came in from the city
Walked into the door
I turned around when I heard
The sound of footsteps on the floor
Love just like addiction
Now I'm hooked on you
I need some time to get it right
Your love's gonna see me through

Can't stop now, don't you know ?
I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go

Oh, baby, make your mind up
Give me what you got
Fix me with your lovin'
Shut the door and turn the lock
Hey, go get the doctor
Doctor came too late
Another night, I feel all right
My love for you can't wait

Can't stop now, don't you know ?
I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go

Came in from the city
Walked into the door
I turned around when I heard
The sound of footsteps on the floor
Said he was a killer
Now I know it's true
I'm dead when you walk out the door
Hey, babe, I'm hooked on you

Can't stop now, don't you know ?
I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go

Can't stop now, don't you know ?
I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go

Can't stop now, don't you know ?
I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go

Can't stop now, don't you know ?
I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go

Can't stop now, don't you know ?
I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go

Can't stop now, don't you know ?
I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go

Can't stop now, don't you know ?
I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go

Can't stop now, don't you know ?
I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go

Don't go
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go

[death tribble]

Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait...
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unraveling the mystery,
That all started with the big bang (Bang) !
