safe from all the hurting safe from all the lies each new life killing time they must wait can’t escape clinging on each sad song swells the throng millions strong unaware if they care am i real if i feel? i’m looking past the edge of you and all i see is black what you steal is energy and you won’t give it back intimidate interrogate poor you remain aloof the drama of your misery played out since your youth waiting for the first insight how can i explain my kingdom remains? if i die again the choices i’m looking for coincidence before it gets too late i’ve been in this rut for so long i’m starting to stagnate i need to find a way out soon i really have to try is it possible to be alive not noticing you’ve died? waiting for the first insight how can i explain? my kingdom remains if i die again the choices you’re ever so clever and if you’re not clever you’ll never get into heaven again searching for the tenth insight how can i explain my kingdom remains? if i die again the choices there’s a fire by the wayside clinging on to a concept known as how drifting through dimensions in a place which we call now simply unaware of what goes on above beyond and before behind us fly the ragged fragments of what should have been much more been much more so unsure opening doors separate entities in ebb and flow fragmentation diverse quantities behind us show fragmentation we thought that we would live forever now we’re mortals like the rest we were lion hearted fighters who were never put to the test can’t foresee the end but it’s round the bend and it’s putting us to flight i would go with you if you asked me to and you’re frightened that i might i just might souls in flight just not right separate entities in ebb and flow fragmentation diverse quantities behind us show fragmentation half of a fantasy but i never got half of the fanta see? but i never got half of the fans to see but i never got half of the van to sing but i never got no i never ever never got half of the fantasy but i never got half of the band to see but i never got half of the fans to sing but i never got half of the royalties no i never got its time to reconvene the wolf pack and gather these disparate parts and to exorcise the maniac and separate these scars let my blood flow fast and neutralise the yearning in my heart let my spirit fill with energy like its waiting for the start for the start a broken heart torn apart separate entities in ebb and flow fragmentation diverse quantities behind us show fragmentation everything’s gone out of control silently sliding away destiny’s end is calling again the future was yesterday visions of light fade in my eyes energy falls from my hands faint in the night echoes of life drown in the day’s demands how did i get so stranded here i am built a house on the sand and i know i’ve been slipping away too fast slipping away i caught a glimmer of what could be another future a possibility but just a blink and it was gone and i was staring back at me forever dreaming of what to do never achieving i never see it through don’t want to live like yesterday this time my dreams are coming true the clouds are rolling by there’s purpose in the sky i’m rooted to the ground procrastinating the sun’s about to set and nothing’s happened yet don’t want to close my eyes i’m tired of waiting lost in the safety of modern times nobody tells you to read between the lines so you could stumble in the dark or you could open up your eyes the clouds are rolling by there’s purpose in the sky i’m rooted to the ground procrastinating the sun’s about to set and nothing’s happened yet don’t want to close my eyes i’m tired of waiting i’m tired of waiting i caught a glimmer of what could be another future a new reality i’m going to chase it through the night i’m going to bring it back to me the clouds are rolling by there’s purpose in the sky i’m rooted to the ground procrastinating the sun’s about to set and nothing’s happened yet don’t want to close my eyes i’m tired of waiting i’m tired of waiting here i am built a house on the sand and i know i’ve been slipping away too fast slipping away visions of light fade in my eyes energy falls from my hands faint in the night echoes of life drown in the day’s demands how can i stop them from slipping away can’t rely on reality things ain’t what they appear to be when you visit please don’t forget the fragile mess of this nervous wreck who of you feels he’s been here before? now i’ve been here twelve times or more life’s becoming a bit of a bore if the ceiling speaks please don’t complain he might just make me go back, round again who of you feels he’s been here before? round and round and round again the first million years they were the worst the second million years they were the worst as well please don’t ask ‘cuz i can’t explain why i keep coming back again maybe it’s ‘cuz when i roll the dice i never get to throw "afterlife" who of you feels he’s been here before? round and round and round you lived the life you dreamed the dream you built the wall that stands between blocked out the light that gave you hope withdrew your words before you spoke you watched the world slip out of your hands and you laughed and you cried and that made it all worthwhile and you hoped and you prayed that your world would never change but all that it’s become is avalon you made your home where kings have died there’s no romance now you’ve seen the light you thought you’d found the land of dreams sometimes a paradise is not what it seems you watched the world slip out of your hands and you laughed and you cried and that made it all worthwhile and you hoped and you prayed that your world would never change but all that it’s become is avalon all that remains are memories and lies nothing stays the same and you laughed and you cried and that made it all worthwhile and you hoped and you prayed that your world would never change but all that it’s become is avalon (part one: fission) atom by atom gaining a few collapsing and waxing and building anew eleven dimensions curled up so tight time and space one thing the speed limit light neutron and proton collapsing afresh more complex carbons creating the flesh super string membranes dark matter burst pulling together our universe strange, charm and gluons imploding again all of this matter formed into men energy everywhere and no drop to drink each generation a chain in the link science has helped us in getting this far the road has run out so get out of the car we’re approaching the critical mass what will become of the spirit of man? what is the story and how does it end? where are the boundaries and where are the doors? who are the heroes for fighting this war? how did i meet you and why have we spent our lives together, why were we sent? i know that i’ve lived with you twelve times before we’re growing together, but what is it for? we’re approaching the critical mass what will become of the spirit of man? what is the story and how does it end? where are the boundaries and where are the doors? who are the heroes for fighting this war? this means war (part two: fusion) - instrumental (part three: lucky) i’ve only just found it it’s slippin’ away and there’s nothing i can do i’ve only just found it it’s slippin’ away and there’s nothing i can do i don’t pray so i’ll have to stay lucky i don’t pray so i’ll have to stay lucky i was dead i was alive i’ve been everyone in this life i was alive i was dead i’ve heard everything ever said but... i’ve only just found it it’s slippin’ away and there’s nothing i can do i’ve only just found it it’s slippin’ away and there’s nothing i can do i don’t pray so i’ll have to stay lucky i don’t pray so i’ll have to stay lucky i was awake i was asleep i never had anything that i could keep i was asleep i was awake i never broke anything i couldn’t make but... i’ve only just found it it’s slippin’ away and there’s nothing i can do |
