Take a walk
through the dark road
Knock on the door
that will never open
The air is cold
and hope is gone
Gather you strength
for the walk is long
Betrayers, intruders
Destroyers and ghosts
A stranger in a strange land
yet he feels at home
A trillion miles
and not a single smile
The judging eyes
of the enraged crowd
A thousand people
around the bull
ignore your fear
of the unknown
Betrayers, intruders
Destroyers and ghosts
A stranger in a strange land
yet he feels at home
A windy field
might discourage your heart
and put out the fire
that burns aloud
but a friendly voice
will speak its mind
and put new spirit
in the burned-out life
There is always a healthy penguin
in the middle of the broken ice
There is always a way out
The cold surroundings
might try to put out
the life-giving fire
that burns aloud
But a friendly hand
will reach and help
and make sure you live
things you will never forget

Train Museum

Watches and ties on the outside in the afternoon
Watch as the man falls and his brothers will paint him for the few
Tied down in the thinking that sun will follow moon
You should be home soon
Fuzz covers mouths and colours start to flare
We know it's quite the scare
A passing ray of sunlight, leaps from patches of cloud
Fills the world with bright, colourful sound
Train museum
Bright stars and satellites on the other side of the afternoon
Blurred little lines and spheres go dancing round the tune
Tied down in the thinking that sun will follow moon
You should be home soon
Fuzz covers mouths and colours start to flare
We know its quite the scare
A passing ray of sunlight, leaps from patches of cloud
Fills the world with bright, colourful sound

Understand

Pack up your troubles, you don't need to be here
Leave, this was never part of our plan
Run down streets where dogs bark lonely
Fix yourself, I understand
Stack up your winnings or losses if you have none
See, you always have a choice
Life is only communication
I'd talk to myself, but I lost my voice
Ties are growing, body's frozen
Someone or something for a crutch
Your eyes are closing, breathing slowing
Need space to think, but not too much
A wheel out of kilters very nice but I'm a new man
Is there a point in figures in landscapes if you're not moving
Pray for some blue sky to vanquish the clouds but
It's too late, summer's gone again
Cavernous winter closes in
Bleeding sands, miracle man

Beyond That Gate

From out this window I see
Nostalgia feel from green trees
Nested under blue sky
but I hope I'll know why
Anxiety about the future
Stuck in the past
But it's the order of the universe
and there's no way to go back
I clean my shoes by going for a walk in the rain
while amber portraits keeps the dusk at bay
We'll leave the kids to find their own way home
then look away and dream away our days
Under the rotting leaves
millions of bodies
some good, some bad
The green grass - reminder of the life they had
There's nothing you want over there
beyond that gate
Your head was down
but you could not wait
Dark clouds overhead
I don't remember what was said
Air is haunted and shrill
Try to think but nothing is still

End Of The Means
02:22

Lives in seeds
Wind through trees
Sweet honey needs
Run from bees
Help me please
I think I'm losing my energy
Show one's glows
No one stares
Life on screens
Manufactured dreams
Isles unseen
End of the means

Before It Gets Dark

How, how could you do this
'Cause I, I never knew this
day could end, before it gets dark
outside
On the whole, lies are useless
If you know what the truth is
and you know, you'll never see into
my head
Why, why didnt you do this
Its either good, or bad you notice
But its not, it never has been
that clear
I don't want to rush it
but sometimes I like to push it
'Cause this path, will never be followed
again
