At the right time, but a victim of the geometry of place;
You hold my hand as the light fades into dusk
You struck the fear of God into me,
How could I begin to be?
Son of a wandering star, help me find my own way,
Son of a wandering star, what do you see as your light is fading away?
You struck the fear of God into me,
How could I begin to be?
(you,
struck,
the,
fear)
I drew the angles, I drew the lines
Connecting you and I through time
They cast a shadow in my mind
You cast a shadow in my mind
I drew the angles, I knew the trines
Connecting you and I through time
They cast a shadow in my mind
You cast a shadow it's -
Immovable, formidable,
Immutable, redoubtable
And in the latter days dismayed
(you stood like stone, known by stars alone)
And in the latter days decayed
(you stood like stone)
And the mourners bring their sympathies in spades
in spades...
Towering above me, tall as the sky
Your visage finally let in the light,
Crumbling to ashes before my eyes
Submerged completely in passing time
Concentric circles remember the times
(wasting away)
I sang the words, I knew the rhymes
(in eternal decay)
Concentric circles remember the times
(wasting away)
I sang the words, I knew the rhymes
(in eternal decay)

It Was Always You

I've never been a gambler,
Maybe that is why this grates on me,
I've never played dice with things important to me,
But if this is how it must be then who am I to intercede?
And as the smoke clears, I stand by,
By virtue of empire, industry, everything
collapsing
around
you and me
around
you and me
(collapsing,
around,
you and me,
collapsing
around)
Was it destiny?
Maybe infamy?
Or was it me?
How could it have been?
I was the cure not the disease,
I was the cure not the disease,
It was always you...

(the blossom falls like)
The blossom falls like
(the tears of gods long passed)
The tears of gods long passed
And every petal's a prayer...
...A prayer that we will rise
A prayer that we will rise
We will rise again
(do you understand)
A picture of serenity
(it's falling down)
Without the emnity of...
(I can't seem to stand my ground, help me please don't let me down, don't forget this light I left you now)
...an invocation, a prayer to the stars.
anticipate
(anticipate)
anticipate
(anticipate)
that change is coming
and coming soon
serenity
(serenity)
comes crashing down
(comes crashing down)
comes crashing down
(comes crashing down)
crashing down
falling down
crashing down
to rest.
(it's coming down, it's coming down, it's coming down)
you are not forgotten
you are not forgotten
you are not forgotten
you are not forgotten
you are not forgotten
you are not forgotten
you are not forgotten
you are not forgotten
you are not forgotten
Fly!
Can you feel the ground shake?
can you feel the earth quake?
Fly into the sky,
Can you feel the ground shake?
can you feel the earth quake?

I'll tell you a story and paint you a picture of how we fell,
In pursuit of the highest heights,
The highest heights
and he read
(I am stricken and I am the blow)
Fingers pointing at me, and it's all I can do to be alright now and
(I am stricken and I am the blow)
Fingers pointing at me as I clutch at the pieces, tumbling down and
(I am stricken and I am the blow)
Try and keep this momentum and we will break these walls down
Besides or above me, naught is there to go
(love, I can't help you now)
Love or unlove me, unknow me or know
(what you said to me it)
I am that which loves me and unloves
(struck down into the heart of me)
I am stricken and I am the blow
(I am the blow)
It's about that time again,
I have some demons to,
To lay to rest,
To put myself to the test, to find out all over again
(and it's alright, it's alright)
all over again
all over again
all over again
(and it's alright, it's alright)
Besides or above me, naught is there to go
(love, I can't help you now)
Love or unlove me, unknow me or know
(what you said to me it)
I am that which loves me and unloves
(struck down into the heart of me)
I am stricken and I am the blow
(I am the blow)
