Black And Red
I remember the night she came
Knocking at the door, I let her in
I remember the gift she gave
I wanted more, I let her in
I remember the way it was before
I craved a change, I let her in
Colours bleed
Inside my head
Raven black
Blood red
Colours flash
Before my eyes
Black and red
Sweet surprise
Her eyes were dark as deepest depths
I drowned in them
Gave my final breath
Her hair was black as darkest night
Her lips were red
Her teeth so white
She bit me hard
She bit me long
She bit me hard
She bit me strong
My maker
Colours bleed
Inside my head
Raven black
Blood red
Colours flash
Before my eyes
Black and red
Sweet surprise
Across the world
We traveled by night
Hiding from the morning light
A trail of carnage in our wake
The rich and cruel
Were the prey we’d take
We kept together
With our dark pact
We drank our fill
Till the night it all cracked
The hunters came
Tore us apart
Drove a stake
Right into her heart
Colours bleed
Inside my head
Raven black
Blood red
Colours flash
Before my eyes
Black and red
Sweet surprise
I’m all alone now
In this world
All I want is
To be with my creator
I can’t give this
Gift to another
My strength is failing
My spirit is leaving
All the days we slept
Under sweet duress
All the nights we kept
In our dark congress
Now the time has come
I will see the sun
And this legacy
It is over
Colours bleed
Inside my head
Raven black
Blood red
Colours flash
Before my eyes
Black and red
Sweet surprise
Beautiful Alchemy
For she came like a cameo
Walking through the scene of a dream
A face I knew from once before
Before I, I knew me
Contrarian whispers fly
Suspicions in the wind
Surreptitious murmurs cry
The boy has sinned
Holding on to the truth
Searching for the key
To unlock the purpose
That will set me free
You changed my world
You changed my mind
You changed my destiny
With that beautiful alchemy
You changed my world
You changed my mind
You changed what I believe
With that beautiful alchemy
Collateral damage
Broken hearts and tears
The harm in the history
The measure of the fears
A monochrome rainbow
Arcs across the sky
The storm that is breaking
In my eyes I see why
You changed my world
You changed my mind
You changed my destiny
With that beautiful alchemy
You changed my world
You changed my mind
You changed what I believe
With that beautiful alchemy
Here comes the message
From the other side
It is the truth
From which I cannot hide
Here comes a wave
Crashing over me
It is the truth
That will set me free
You changed my world
You changed my mind
You changed my destiny
With that beautiful alchemy
You changed my world
You changed my mind
You changed what I believe
With that beautiful alchemy
Sweet Chroma
There’s a push
There’s a pull
Is the glass half full?
There’s a need
You must feed
So you plant that seed
See it grow
See it blow
See it break
Every day
Walk away
On the day
That your hair
Turns grey
But the lure
Is so pure
That you feel
It can cure
Every ache
Every woe
Every sigh
Every fear
Precious touch
Is too much
You will shake
You will break
Tear your heart
From your chest
It was all
Just a test
Any way you want it
Any time you need it
Any place you want it
That’s OK
Any way you want it
Any time you need it
Any place you want it
That’s OK
Oh sweet chroma
You live in my head
I am drawn by the allure of black and red
Oh sweet chroma
You forgive my dread
I am drawn by the allure of black and red
All the moans
All the groans
As you roll
Your old bones
All the joys
That you kept
As your lover
They slept
In a room
Like a tomb
Cold and dark
Full of gloom
And a child
On the stairs
In the dark
Eyes that glare
For the chance
That will dance
To give you a
Second glance
In the air
There’s a flare
There’s a spark
There is care
When the words
Galvanise
You will swim
In the eyes
Of the one
On the run
From the past
And the now
Any way you want it
Any time you need it
Any place you want it
That’s OK
Any way you want it
Any time you need it
Any place you want it
That’s OK
House Of Clay
Within the rooms of this old mansion
My mind it needs a kind of expansion
Searching for the terrible truth
And clinging on to the remains of my youth
Lifting the veil
Raising the sail
Finding a way through
Lifting the veil
Telling the tale
Of all that is new
I, I cannot stay
In this house of clay
Forever
I, I cannot stay
In this house of clay
Forever
In the house of clay, I cannot stay
In the house of clay, I cannot stay
There’s a naked light bulb over my bed
It’s my sun
It’s my moon
It’s a beacon of dread
My breath condenses as I exhale
I know I’m alive
I hope I’m alive
Lifting the veil
Raising the sail
Finding a way through
Lifting the veil
Telling the tale
Of all that is new
I, I cannot stay
In this house of clay
Forever
I, I cannot stay
In this house of clay
Forever
Finger on the pulse
Finger on the trigger
Finger points to the sky
Desolation prayers
That desolation lingers
Finds the way into a heart
Where is your heaven?
Where is your hell?
Where is the answer to the magic spell?
Stars are freely falling
A final shower of tragic light
The sky is burning bright
I, I cannot stay
In this house of clay
Forever
I, I cannot stay
In this house of clay
Forever
In the house of clay, I cannot stay
In the house of clay, I cannot stay
Skeleton Key
Sitting at this table
With my vices and drugs
Time points in the direction
Such a sobering reflection
In a moment of clarity
I can see it clearly
But the past is a vacuum
A foggy vortex that will consume
Dragging me back
Pulling me down
Taking me in
Putting me on
Sweet divine panacea
A cure for all that ails ya
Sweet diving panacea
Hope its gonna free ya
I need a skeleton key
To unlock the memory
There’s holes in the story
I can’t trust the history
I need a remedy
Just to help me see
To unlock the mystery
I need a skeleton key
On rainy Sundays
I would crawl the walls
Scale the lows of my mind
Just to see what I could find
Tear it all to shreds
Tear it all to pieces
For there was nothing left to save
Ricala had risen from the grave
Dragging me back
Pulling me down
Taking me in
Putting me on
Sweet divine panacea
A cure for all that ails ya
Sweet diving panacea
Hope its gonna free ya
I need a skeleton key
To unlock the memory
There’s holes in the story
I can’t trust the history
I need a remedy
Just to help me see
To unlock the mystery
I need a skeleton key
When I find the place that I’m supposed to be
Then I will surrender
When I find the place that I’m supposed to be
Then I will surrender
I need a skeleton key
To unlock the memory
There’s holes in the story
I can’t trust the history
I need a remedy
Just to help me see
To unlock the mystery
I need a skeleton key

You bring the light
Children of light
Purified In Song
I can measure far and wide
The space between the words inside
I can measure high and low
Just how much to let it show
I point my mind toward the song
Stay a while but not too long
Hold it like a feather’s touch
Hold it close but not too much
It needs to breath
It needs to grow
It needs to find how to flow
Like a stream into a sea
As endless as a song can be
Purified in song
Back where I belong
Purified in song
Back where I belong
This is all you need to know
Make it easy come, easy go
My muse walks beside me
My muse talks inside me
Each foggy whisper becoming clearer
Getting closer and getting nearer
Inside the walls of the sound
I am lost and I am found
Purified in song
Back where I belong
Purified in song
Back where I belong
For a song can make it right
And a song can make it wrong
And a song can be exactly what you need
For a song can make it true
And a song can make it false
And a song can you give you
What you need to see
Purified in song
Back where I belong
Purified in song
Back where I belong
Killing Unicorns
Waking into a new day
Complete in my humanity
I delete my vanity
Breaking into a new way
All that I need to learn
To stay curious at every turn
I believe in entity
That last night visited me
Undulating without form
From the darkness
A shape was born
All the stories of a lifetime
Build towards a legacy
Got to take your shot
Got to take your aim
When you’re killing unicorns
That’s the name of the game
Got to break the chain
It can’t stay the same
When you’re killing unicorns
That’s the name of the game
I’m no hunter
And I’m no killer
I exist in such
Beautiful decay
In this temple of sweet potential
I am hypnotised by the essential
This shall be my greatest crime
The words I spoke
Are swallowed by time
All the stories of a lifetime
Build towards a legacy
Got to take your shot
Got to take your aim
When you’re killing unicorns
That’s the name of the game
Got to break the chain
It can’t stay the same
When you’re killing unicorns
That’s the name of the game
The days grow long
And the years grow short
The days grow long
And the years grow short
Got to take your shot
Got to take your aim
When you’re killing unicorns
That’s the name of the game
Got to break the chain
It can’t stay the same
When you’re killing unicorns
That’s the name of the game
Drive A Fast Car
Nowhere to go
But everywhere
Rolling along
Beneath the stars
Turn the key
Feel the engine roar
It’s inside me
So I give it more
Drive a fast car to the end
Speed around every bend
Drive a fast car to nowhere
I’ll let you know when I get there
Drive onward
To forget
Drive it onward
To the nuclear sunset
The road is straight
The road is long
Behind the wheel
Is where I belong
Drive a fast car to the end
Speed around every bend
Drive a fast car to nowhere
I’ll let you know when I get there
Living now at full speed
I no longer care
Chart a course through the night
Got the wind in my hair
Drive a fast car to the end
Speed around every bend
Drive a fast car to nowhere
I’ll let you know when I get there
You Are The Answer
Your eyes are the windows
Into your soul
Your life is a memory
That you can’t control
As each sweet day
It slips away
You question now
Why should you pray
You are the answer
To all of your prayers
You are the answer
To all of your prayers
You are the answer
To all of your prayers
You are the answer
To all of your prayers
All the questions
That wrecked your mind
All the answers
That you couldn’t find
The diagnosis
For your sweet psychosis
Self medication
Self induced sedation
You are the answer
To all of your prayers
You are the answer
To all of your prayers
You are the answer
To all of your prayers
You are the answer
To all of your prayers
Oh you find the way
That works for you every day
You are all you ever need
For you are divine
Unique in space and time
You are all you ever need
You are the answer
To all of your prayers
You are the answer
To all of your prayers
You are the answer
To all of your prayers
You are the answer
To all of your prayers
