Tyranny of souls (2005)

"Profession Quatermass where are you. Professor Quatermass where are you. 
Mankind returns to the stars, but sometimes the stars return to mankind. 
Didn't you come this way before, a million years ago?" 

I wake in sweats you've come to steal my life away 
Some strange electric glow of artifical day 
the power break is closed, the grid of darkness falls 
shining gleaming black as night, burning all the light 

CHORUS:
What do you want from me?
I sense your mastery 
there's something you won't ever find 
So have your way with me 
this prisoner is never free 
rip me up leave me behind 

Are you the truth to sit in judgement on my sins 
evil laser gadgets come to penetrate my skin 
the hanging judge is open and I'm damned before his eyes 
another genesis that failed, how many more have tried 

REPEAT CHORUS

And so the story goes I dreamt this long ago 
Highways hidden in the sand reveal the truths I know 
They took my worthless heart and spat it through their eyes 
Abduction means the end for me a million years of misery 

What do you want from me?
I sense your mastery 
there's something you won't ever find 
So have your way with me 
this soldier's lost his victory
rip me up leave me behind

We ride the cosmic streams of time 
We are the fools who came to trust 
We blind the eyes of history 
We tear ourselves down from your cross 
Half lives, we live again 
Half lives, now we are one 

CHORUS:
We’re the soul intruders in the whirling void at night
We’re the soul intruders and we're crying for the light 
We’re the soul intruders with no life of our own
I'm a sole survivor but who sits on my throne

Solar winds have taken hold 
Blowing us where? we do not know 
Existence silent and unknown 
Father, son and viral host
Half lives, eat but never kill 
Half lives, we live as well 

REPEAT CHORUS

Half lives, eat but never kill 
Half lives, we live as well 

REPEAT CHORUS

Blood brothers of angels, now hear us 
We earthbound your offspring, don't fear us 
God willing will rise up be near you 
So open your arms now and take us 

So we're breathing our dreams like the Icarus of old 
The plans we made for the bold
In the blue eyed beyond, theres nowhere to hide
there's no going back now 

CHORUS:
As the wind whips over the hillside 
Twenty knots over Kill devil hill
Steady wind blows over the sand
Twenty knots over Kill devil hill
As the breeze whips straight as an arrow
Let her go over Kill devil hill
Gasoline and wind in the wires
kill devil hill and the way into the stars

We stand on this seashore and wonder 
What madness, what secrets we plunder 
All failure we learn from discovery 

The wreckage of heaven lies on the sand 
First chances abandoned 
With woodstring and wire we can barely control our desire
for destinys arrows

REPEAT CHORUS

There are no secrets, only our dreams
There are no secrets, only our dreams
There are no secrets, only our dreams
There are no secrets, only our dreams

Distant earthrise long ago 
lingers at the borders of our minds 
Mysteries spinning in the dark 
in the frozen emptiness of time 

We were lost and we never knew 
who we were or what we left behind 
Living half lives we were blind 
to the new frontiers that opened up our eyes 

To find our minds were spinning 
souls entwined in a spiral dance 
the ancient ways have found us 
again to give us one last chance 


Living in this place, staring into space we find 
we might share the corners of our lives 
Infinity runs deep, eternity that we can't keep 
melting through the frozen wastes of time 

So we go and we'll not return 
to navigate the seas of the sun
Our children will go on and on 
to navigate the seas of the sun
(x2)

we can't go on tomorrow 
living death by gravity 
Culdn't stand it anymore 
we sail our ships to distant shores 

Purple gold and blue, living colors every hue 
flowers in the garden of the gods 
no one can ever know, if you never saw them grow 
but this darkness is really full of light 

Well beyond the earth, beyond all things that gave us birth 
we'll navigate the seas of the sun
If god is throwing dice and Einstein doesn't mind the chance 
we'll navigate the seas of the sun

Infinity runs deep, eternity that we can't keep 
we'll navigate the seas of the sun
Flowers of our souls, purple blue and gold we'll find 
to navigate the seas of the sun

So we know who we are even in this frozen waste 
we'll navigate the seas of the sun
Living in this place staring into space we'll find 
we'll navigate the seas of the sun

well beyond the earth beyond all things that gave us birth 
we'll navigate the seas of the sun
If Einstein's throwing dice and god he doesn't mind the chance 
we'll navigate the seas of the sun

And flowers of the soul, purple blue and gold we'll find
we'll navigate the seas of the sun
and who we were before, eternity that we can't keep
we'll navigate the seas of the sun
flowers of the soul...

Break the bread and drink the wine 
Seize the challace suck the poison vine 
There is frost in every sunbeam
water flows from the earth to sky 

Looking down on every rose 
nothing moves the wheel of heaven turns 
As our fingers leave there trace
we are gods and the world returns ,uprise
 
CHORUS:
Now at last you can’t disguise the river of no return 
Now it's time you realise, the river of no return 

Glowing embers of our ancient lives 
We struggle hard we live to turn the tide 
Living longer in the astral waste 
We stare each other, we looked death in the face 
All my life in front of you, lonely secrets hidden from your view. 
Now we orbit a different sun, for eternity ,doomed to tell no one.. 

REPEAT CHORUS

Now we're truly all alone, 
Canyon walls and the river of no return 
I'm amazed at what I am, 
I’ve never knew the feelings I ignored 

Now at last you can’t disguise the river of no return 
Now it's time we realise, the river of no return 
And the anguish drives me on, I wish i could return 
All alone and washed away to the river of no return

Is this a citadel 
is this a prison cell 
Who sits at my right hand now, who's watching me now 

Who's made us live this way 
When do i get my say 
Automation turns us into human beings now 

Tripping over faces 
Humanity has fallen 
Huddled into doorways and the streets at dawn 

CHORUS:
The power of the sun Keeps us moving on 
Spinning ever faster 
The city never sleeps The echoes of the footfalls 
Already in the past 

Every dawn arrives 
The gathering of the tribes 
Shattered waves of people breaking over city walls 
Never out of touch 
But always on your own 
Trapped inside the logic of your own communication zone 

What deals have been made 
Who's under the gun 
Stay one step ahead of the next in line 

REPEAT CHORUS

The cameras never lie 
The ghost of you and I
Already in the past 
Inside our own picture frame 
we'll vanish once again 
Now the dawn is coming fast 

REPEAT CHORUS (x2)

You wanna know where legends live 
At the rainbows end I’ll be there 
There’s a place in inner space 
That’s where I'll get to you 

I’m not the shy retiring kind 
Like a supernova for the blind 
I used to sit at god's right hand 
but I clean that show into my one night stands 

CHORUS:
Coming out of nowhere, I’m a god headed rider 
You won’t see my face no more 
My machine has left the floor
Leave my rivals in the dirt 
I've seen your world and I've got the shirt 
Before I leave and go my way 
I’ve loved it but I couldn’t stay 
There’s nothing bad for you to feel
Just remember me 

You might see me in Tokyo 
To the rings of saturn, hey, let’s go 
And do the trip of your life with me 
But your one time chance is never free 

I see you baby once again 
Maybe three score ?years? and ten
I’ve been driving a different ship 
So when I take you down for your final trip

REPEAT CHORUS

Coming out of nowhere, I’m a god headed rider 

REPEAT CHORUS

Smoking resting on its grave 
The carcass rusting where it lies 
no more truth, no honest games 
the serpent writhes within us all 

Lava streams of molten flesh 
into their mountain holes retire 
Now sleeping eyes of death awake 
your drug of choice, truth or lie 

CHORUS:
I believe, you and me 
I believe, evil 
I believe, you will see 
I believe, evil 

What does not kill it makes it strong 
The carcass stares it will not die 
It feeds on you, it feeds on me 
I know his name, you know mine too 

REPEAT CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS

When shall we three meet again? 
In thunder, lightning, or in rain? 
When the hurlyburly's done? 
When the battle's lost, not won? 

CHORUS:
A tyranny of souls that love has lost 
A tyranny of souls, a pentecost 
Speaking tongues of fire, enflaming our desires 
Watching as we die 

Who rips the child out from the womb? 
Who raise the dagger, who plays the tune? 
At the crack of doom on judgment day 
No ocean could wash my sins away 

REPEAT CHORUS

On our own cross 
A tyranny of souls 

We are the black space 
We are the black light 
We shine where no others dare 

Killin' my hater from beyond 
Suffering the fate of no reason 
Love is a relative stranger to my life 

Tears of the fateful 
Seeds of betrayal 

Hammer the nail into my hand 
Anger is ruler in my land 
I am the killer of weakness in my head 

We are the black light 
We are the black space 

REPEAT CHORUS

On our own cross 

REPEAT CHORUS
