1.The First Elegy
Death starts like a dream
So infinite, beautiful, and sad
You're there in the chapel
And the sun is fading to black
Its brilliance surrounds us
With outstretched arms
So blinded by the sadness
You're feelings sliding so hard
You grasp towards fluorescence
Still slipping yet holding so tight
Let's bask in the shadows
And welcome the night
Welcome the night
We survived, we are here
So welcome the night
2.Begin Again from the Beginning
I traveled to each road and the end of the earth
With no where else to go I looked back in amazement
When I finally realized how farther I had actually gone
I was still standing in the same place that I started
Till I found out and I cried out that there was silence
a definite silence... more brilliant than anything
And there was a bird with feathers brightest red and it spoke
At least that what you saw
I saw an angel on the whitest Novembers morning
And I heard her sing the sweetest cry as if she wanted to reach
down
And tell me that it would me all right
And tell me it would be alright
I walked out and stared into the golden sun
I was blinded by an endless timeless beauty
till i found out and I cried out that there was silence
a definite silence... more brilliant than anything
and there was a bird with feathers brightest red and the smoke
at least that what you saw
I saw an angel on the whitest Novembers morning
and I heard her sing the sweetest cry as if she wanted to reach
down
and tell me that it would me all right
and tell me it would be alright
For chain chax silent major
But there sounds like never perminent
These thensteps ever changing like a mivor times on the leebers
It closes your eyes and vain your guy
And there was a bird with feathers brightest red and it spoke
At least that what you saw
I saw an angel on the whitest Novembers morning
And I heard her sing the sweetest cry as if she wanted to reach
down
And tell me that it would me all right
And tell me it would be alright
3.Cardiff-by-the-Sea
The sea has many colors
Profoundly red as wine
The skies they bleed with fleeting passion tonight
Come sweet euphoria
Your light is blinding to me
You feel as comforting as a mother's warm embrace
But still you're just as lonely as the sea
We gaze out upon the crashing waves
From this hillside graveyard masquerade
Sweet terrible angel
Embrace my soul with light
Is it honesty that sunk my lungs and is dying to get out
But still I'm helpless as an orphaned child
Can you cure this loneliness in my heart
My heart
Can you cure this loneliness in my heart
In my heart
Euphoria, euphoria
Euphoria, euphoria
Euphoria, euphoria
4.Secret Handshakes
Marble stairs in this cathedral
Built by these hands five hundred years before
We will make good men better
We will make good men better
Draw the right hand across the neck
Drop the arm down to your side.
I hear the voices calling in the night.
Thirty-three degrees
Accepted right of hypocrisy
From this bitter cup we all shall drink
Here I am awake, it's 2AM; it's getting late
All I know is something isn't right.
We will make good men better
How can you make good men better？
Draw the right hand across the neck
Drop the arm down to your side.
I hear the shadows calling in the night.
Get up, get up, get out
The fire's burning now
Our bodies burned to ashes
They'll be scattered to the forests.
Does it ever even faze you
That your father's involvement with a cult
Nearly killed your first born child？
5.When All Else Fails,It Fails
You'll be forever an angel
in a sun dress blowing in the sweet September wind.
At least that's how I choose to remember,
and in my heart you'll never love again
maybe it's too late to regain sight of all that we have lost
got to hold on to this moment
don't let go
maybe it's too late for redemption now.
I see a blanket of pale white snow
on the street side from this doll house full of open words
and the stained glass of the church next door
casts it's vile upon this empty room
your eyes that used to shine as bright
as open lights without
but we're meant to be loved
it is the greatest gift we've got
I can never make you love me again
but when all else fails it fails
did I fail you？
will you fail me too？
because there's nothing that I wouldn't do to hold on to you
but you give me nothing to hold on to.
maybe it's too late
to keep the one out from giving up tonight
I guess it's too late for forgiveness
god forgive me!
I guess it's too late for a family now
everything reminds me of you
everything reminds me of you
you're an angel in a sun dress
and my heart will never love again...
6.The Cheyenne Line
In silence, I like to think out loud
you say this is the end
I know it's not the end
I took a picture
of heaven when we broke down
across the shining light
I never will forget
the color of last night
over us
we missed the point in living
so caught up in this moment
we threw out all convictions
and traded them for substance
this life you hold so near
will fade in time...
and so it goes
no we won't let go
if you are alive
then be truly alive
just open up your eyes
pay attention to the signs
the color of the sky in this night
we missed the point in living
so caught up in this moment
we threw out all convictions
and traded them for substance
this life we hold so dear
will fade in...
time spend wasted on a lie
it's time you found some frame of mind
this life you hold so near
will fade in time
Album：Welcome the night
we missed the point in living
so caught up in this moment
we threw out all convictions
and traded them for substance
this life we hold so dear
and so it goes
no we won't let go
and so it goes
no no you won't let go
this life you hold so dear
will fade in time...
7.We All Become Smoke
We all are so faithful
We all are so lost within our hearts
There's a spark in reply
And then our colors burst in gold
And we all become like...
Fading into nothing, fading into nothing
Just a trace of my life
That burns when I fade across
And still we all are so hopeful
So you write our sins in our blood
We look so tired in our eyes
Yet so afraid of
Fading into nothing, fading into nothing
Just a trace of my life
That burns when I fade across
We all are so, we all are so faithful
Fading into nothing, fading into nothing
Just a trace of my life
That burns when I fade across
Fading into nothing, fading into nothing
Just a trace of my heart
Leaves its mark upon a heart
8.Welcome the Night
Can we understand life
And live it at the same time
Where is this purpose you speak of？
I'll be the background of this photograph
The soundtrack to this night
And we are fading out, before our eyes
Close your eyes and welcome in the night
In heaven so wonderful
Why are we oh so afraid of dying young
We are dying young
We are the patterns and the shapes
The patchwork from the window on this place
We are alone, alone, alone
Close your eyes and welcome in the night
This television set, it burns my eyes
And there is no one here
That can keep me warm tonight
Where is this purpose
Where is the lie, the lie, the lie
Close your eyes and welcome in the night
9.From the Last,Last Call
Here's a long evasive story
of failed hopes and glories
old chandeliers and scratched out 45's
some hands for my procession
and a couple drunk confessions
I'm soaked in rapture tonight
No lie, no lie, no lie...
believe me when I say
that I'm trying hard today
but I'm not right, no, I'm not right
tell me it's not true
I would never lie to you
I'm not right, no, I'm not right
maybe you will see it wasn't meant to be
but it's not me...
The sins of the faithful
the luxuries of regret
and its a faithless
to have no loss tragedies
an acted up rectification
with all the best intentions
smite me for my inquietudes,
No lie, no lie, no lie...
cant believe you say
that you're better of this way
but I'm not right, no, I'm not right
tell me what you see when you still look at me
I'm not right, no, I'm not right
I'm sorry when I say I'm still holding on today
And will you forgive me
when I found out I was stray
on the outskirts of the room
doubled up on angel dust
there crying on my knees
for some god to come
and save this lifeless soul
and my ghost will wrap this words
as you cry yourself to sleep
I'm not right, no, I'm not right
I never want to know what I'm capable of
I'm not right, no, I'm not right
Tell me its not true, but I will not believe you
I'm not right, no, I'm not right
Maybe you will see that it wasn't meant to be
but it's not me...
10.A Soundtrack for this Rainy Morning
All this useless beauty is haunting to my heart
Dim the headlights, make amendments
Starry sea of night
Oh, sounds of silence so enchanting, all embracing
So seductive and so pure
Oh, I'm so insensitive, alright
Beauty is touched by the light
Stare into lights on this motorway
Puncturing in the night
I often wonder what it would feel like
A slight jump to the right
Everything goes blind
Oh, I'm so insensitive, alright
Sadness so touched by the light
Oh, sound of sadness, beautiful sadness
Whispering softly
And this final portion of night, it is ours
Oh, I'm so sensitive, alright
Oh, beauty is touched by the light
11.Act Five,Scene Four; and So It Ends Like It Began
the smell of incense
it fills the air inside this room
cast of light colorly strewn about the floor
a casket lined with pills
and the bitter taste of absinth
to wash it down
and so it ends like it began
at a cross
along this interstate
a worn inscription
all cracked and faded
these actions will remain
when bodies turn to dust
and from this monument
i will drown inside the anguish of your heart
a new dawn broke this morning
tears were raining in this room
as pure as holy water
reflecting images of you
this world is like a whore
so ravish and so beautiful
so bitter cold and all alone
and if i had my way
we'd wake up on the day we met
i'd stare into your heart for hours
and try to make you hear the sweetest thoughts
but not tonight
we die inside each others arms
we'd revel in our last embrace
i'd steal the breath right from your heart
and kiss you as we die
i rest my lifeless head upon your heart
forever
i rest my lifeless head upon your heart
forever
i rest my lifeless head upon your heart
forever
maybe i'll bring you sunlight after all
i'm sorry
maybe i'll bring you sunlight after all
i'm sorry
maybe i'll bring sunlight after all
i'm sorry
maybe i'll be sunlight after all
so sorry
maybe i'll greet sunlight after all
i'm sorry
maybe i'll greet sunlight after all
12.Whatever Lies Will Help You Rest
While Kansas city sleeps
cloaked in the twilight of this valley
at this church cross standing
roadside from a tree
I keep driving to the most desolate seclusions
my blackest secrets still imprison me
and why don't we say what we really feel？
Whenever things are at their best...
whatever lies will help you rest
whenever things are at their best...
why do we wait for it to fall apart？
fall apart
Welcome to the after-taste
of cheap wine and bad decisions
my heart trembles in this morning prayer
I can't turn my eyes
from this inner most seductions
but still somehow you found me there
and why don't we say what we really feel？
Whenever things are at their best...
whatever lies will help you rest
whenever things are at their best...
why do we wait for it to fall apart？
It's my mistake to say
I'm not the world safest bet
I've never been too good at being good
and its probably sad to say...
Whenever things are at their best...
whatever lies will help you rest
whenever things are at their best...
why do we wait for it to fall apart？
why do we wait for it to fall apart？
13.The Ghost of Last December
We moved in many shapes
And I'm nearly awake
With the first of the day
Convinced last night went OK
Album：Welcome the night
Hold on, hold on
This candle's burned out
I won't let it go
Hold on, hold on
We want it so bad
This one thing we can't have
We can't see doubt
On the list of abandoned doubts
When the truth came out
I declined if nothing else
Hold on, hold on
This candle's burned out
I won't let it go
Hold on, hold on
We want it so bad
This one thing we can't have
Hold on, hold on
This candle's burned out
I won't let it go
Hold on, hold on
We want it so bad
This one thing we can't have
Hold on, hold on
We moved in many shapes
And I'm nearly awake
Hold on, hold on
We moved in many shapes
We want it so bad
This one thing we can't have
