1. Manhunt
2. Comfort Me
I look into your blue eyes deep pools I had no idea
I
know hunted down from coast to coast
Circumstance prevailed it was hard on us
both.
I've run hard, I'm so tired from the chase
So desperately I'm
aching
The waning of the starlight
Embers turn to ash as I
fade.
And now you're next to me
I beg you baby please don't go
End
of the road for me
I'll just hold you close
Just hold you close
End of
the mystery a gift from heaven on this day
Your touch to comfort me
Just
comfort me
Your sheltering soul not a moment too soon
You're a sweet
tourniquet
For my soul lies rife with open wounds
And yes I thought as I
closed my eyes
I saw phantom apparitions dance
And are we really safe on
our own
Or are they out there watching
Right now I don't want to care at
all
Just like a silent song
Just reach out your hands and take
hold
Take hold
When the limit of your pain
Exceeds the mercies of your
love
It's time to cease and release and just fly
And now you've come
to me
A sanctuary borne of love
Honest sincerity I'll just hold you
close
Just hold you close
It's in the way you move
A phoenix risen on
this day
Your touch to comfort me
Just comfort me
I disrobe my
burdens and I lay them at your feet
So much about this world I'd just as soon
they keep
Their faces melt reflections on the wind
Or are they out there
watching
As time stands still this Christmas Day
3. The Andromeda Strain
Lying by the dying
flame
Drifting off to sleep
She drops the black leather journal
She's
been clutching tight
She's a bio-engineer, hazard level four
She works the
hot zone all the day
The demon seed smallpox weapons grade
Bought from
Israeli intelligence
Gone rouge for a price
Decode the genome right down
to the DNA
You break the code and you just might save the day
A
serpent rising genetic weaponizing
There's a portent of pure evil lying out
there in the dark
The hand of terror stands poised to ride out on the
wind
Can we counter this undeserved hatred
Through our science and our
research and the wisdom of our age
Or are we doomed to suffer at the hands of
the Andromeda Strain?
Microscopic warfare the demon will retreat
From
breakthrough after breakthrough
Using her own rare blood type the serum came
to life
Time to publish and go clinical trial
But wait, a secret document
sealed slipped through
A most insidious plot unfolds
Limited release to
drive the need through the roof
The guaranteed supply secures the deal it's
been approved
Assuring the quarter and the year
A serpent rising
genetic weaponizing
What kind of twisted mind turns terror into cash
Sends
the innocent to their death
You try to fight it but criminals
united
Pharmaceutical injustice is a terror all its own
For want of power
and love for the bottom line
They'll unleash the Andromeda Strain
A
serpent rising genetic weaponizing
Script the sequence of the serum
incorrectly to lead them on
Steal the formula destroy the seed and
run
Need to fight back this undeserved terror
Through our science and our
research and the cunning of our ways
Or we're sure to suffer at the
hands
I'll disappear underground
Prepare to fight the next round
The
Andromeda Strain
4. Vow
Early morn I was up long before dawn
I watched you
sleep
I counted every beat of your heart
Now we both know we'll never go
back there again
Guilty as charged that's all
Fallen snow - cover
me
Wash me pure - Hold me tight
What else is there left for you and for
me?
The life we once held on to caught in a riptide out to sea
I left
with innocent eyes to a nation so poor
I felt humanity cry from the ravage of
war
I infiltrated the machine and it broke me in two
I wish for amnesty
now and I find it in you
I make this vow
The road to this place under
a thundering sky
It's a long walk to heaven
Lord knows I've tried
Just
look around wind and snow and ice are all I see
Save for you my
queen
Pounding rhythms
Distant footsteps
Echo fear
And drive my
pain
I am crying out for love and for life eternal
I am witness
I've
been purchased with blood
So many souls will burn out
The call requires an
answer
I've chased material gain it's the emptiest dream
I've watched
it turn back to dust and it don't mean a thing
The spirit found its way in
and it changed my whole life
I'm offering you my hope with the gift of this
light
Please take my vow
Let's pack away all our memories of
home
Never look back
Certainly never return
Bring anew you and I and
snow and wind and rain
Will you surrender all your all to me?
And in
the comfort of my arms both noble and strong
I'll guide you safely through
the storms
I will make you my song
Remaining steady and true for the rest
of your life
I offer you up my hand wanna make you my wife
Please take
this vow
A passion purer than gold or the night's brightest star
My love
for you only grows
It knows no earthly bounds
The time is right for us now
just believe what I say
I take your hand in my hand
And I promise you the
world
Promise you the world
Promise you the world
I make this
vow
5. Birth Of A Daughter
6. Death Of A Mother
7. Lamentia
And now you've gone away
I begged you baby please
don't go
Away and leave me here
I am broken I am broken
And I
know
Winter is bearing down
On wings of Angels so your soul
Is in the
hands of God
My tears on the wind
8. Seven Years
9. Dark
10. Torn
Broken window broken dreams, nothing
but a trail of tears
Oh my God my little lady, where have they taken you - I
never heard you scream
Strange how pain etches patterns on your
heart
Just like frost grows on the window pain
And cold's no elixir, the
fractals well veiled
My eyes gone black, they've pierced my hands and
side
I've searched high and I've searched low, damn the motive I don't
know
Another child torn from her father, where have they taken you - I'm
praying for your soul
Show your face, tell me why it must be her
You
faceless evil shake me to my core
And what do you do? With faith and
belief
When tragedy buries me, buries me, buries me alive
Hold your
hands up high, lift them toward the sky
When all I have - Is torn
Down
down down, meet my pain tonight
Something wicked this way came, just
ghosts and demons from my past
Are they trying to draw me out, vendictivly
I'm recompensed - No shadow of a doubt
Hold your hands up high, lift them
toward the sky
When all I have - Is torn
Down down down, meet my pain
tonight
Somewhere out there lies a girl, stolen by a broken
world
Can't escape my frozen past, shattered like a rock through glass
I'm
Torn
11. The Archer Of Ben Salem
[Mike]
So I set out early morning
Through
the forests deep and wide
I am vested and determined
To bring her back
alive
As I knife my way through dense fog
In the silence of the
field
Stands a soldier like a statue
With a cross bow strained at
me
[Archer]
Don't move from my crosshairs I bring news from
home
The deadly pox is in the wrong hands
But this I'm sure you
know
Your wife's blood filled with secrets
Hand sequenced DNA
Attempts
to recreate the serum
Have failed until today
[Mike]
My wife
dead and buried and my daughter dragged away
[Archer]
Do you
not find coincidental
That your two rare blood types are the
same?
Intelligence from Israel found her here
Heavy with the blood pure
child
They shot your wife with pox tipped blow dart, got that human trial
underway
[Archer]
Your daughter carries plasma, essential to
vaccine
Development required the sample
Her blood now holds the key, a
grand scheme of deception for one world government
But rouge Mossad stole
blood at her birth
So now we too hold the
key
[Mike]
Outbreak around the world
Sets the stage the main
event
[Archer]
Contingent on the bio terror
New World Order
rises and it stays
A lone detachment of US Special Forces sends me here to
set it right
You'll aid the underground rebellion, your country needs you for
counterstrike
12. Encrypted
I was taken to a town well hid
Back room of a
library rather well equipped
Guarding stands the Archer outside my
door
And through the pain
It strikes me strange what life prepares you
for
Day and night I'm crafting
Sleepless as I shape encrypted lines, night
after night
Serum formula code and key
Separated "Room V" and
"Tyranny"
Hidden from the watchmen in plain view
From underground the word
of mouth
Can spread what we must do
Synchronized and time
aligned
De-ciphered serum spills into the world
You'd better worry
better listen and take heed
There's a storm on the horizon
Clouds are
black and deadly mean
Be on the watch so when the victims start to
fall
You can harvest out a demon
When the plague begins we'll fight to
win
Apply genetic sequence away
You'd better worry better listen and
take heed
There's a storm on the horizon
Clouds are black and deadly
mean
All you in labs in college all around the world
It won't be long
until we're ready
And he took the disc and nod his head
And turned and
walked away into the night
13. Room V
Not long ago a plan was conceived where all could be
revealed
Critical info delivered in secret, but kept out in plain
sight
We're underground 'cause we have enlisted
Got data in our
groove, a battalion of six
Inside out it's all for one and one for
all
Here we are, we're the band, we got your marching orders
It's in
the music and the words that we sing
Sing along, sing out loud, and you'll
join the answer
We will rock with the thunder of a thousand mighty
horses
Bejing to New York City and everywhere between
Lies the heart
of the good, the will of the people
Now shake your cages, shake your
cages
It's time to fight or die, deliver us from evil
All around the
world, you're not alone, we'll be right here
And coming to your home from
Room V
Here we are, we're the band, we got your marching orders
It's
in the music and the words that we sing
Sing along, sing out loud, and you'll
join the answer
We will rock with the thunder of a thousand mighty
horses
14. Rain
Left on my own don't know where
I should begin to look
it's involuntary instinct
Controls my every footstep, westward through
haze
The voice of shadows whispers in my ears
Alaskan forests to the
sea
Keeping all faith alive I fall into the rain
Let me go, let me
go
Oh my soul drenched in the rain - the rain
I light two candles in
the window of my mind
The wind that threatens I've no words left to
describe
Resisting the fates
When mercy comes to shelter me
Over and
over I am witness to the signs
Evil's more focused as we near the end of
times
Praying so hard that your shelter comes to cover me
What kind of
world is this that
It should come down to this oh
Each day the pressure
building
In Biblical proportion
I've seen extremes from love to
war
They both are walking here
And echoing prophetic song
Plagues
and famine and hate
All fall into the rain, let it go, let it go
The whole
world floods in the rain - the rain
We lose horizons they just vanish as
we run
Chess moves in silence glacial patience under gun
The marching of
time
When mercy comes to shelter me
Fragments of truth are out there
blowing in the wind
I cry for loved ones and removal of the sting
I just
can't let go
Your shelter comes to cover me
In desperation we make
moves and never know
Their antidote is poison and my blood runs
cold
Stoking the flames
When mercy comes to shelter me
You want the
truth but do you want insanity?
Peering 'round corners paranoid
calamity
Hold on to what's real
Your shelter comes to cover
me
Finally in death do you become as once in life
Evil for evil do you
pay the highest price
Just let it burn
When mercy comes to shelter
me
My flesh and blood it's all that's left my heritage
From life to death
to dust so through the woods I search
Complete disconnect
Your shelter
comes to cover me
