The Gathering Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Eléanor

underneath the mask you've buried yourself into
it's coal-black
i am tired of the gulping that you do
every day a new face
what if i unscrew
your own identity
wouldn't you guess there's nothing left of you?

the quicksand of life drags us
down into the circle
one day. we might not catch you

i feel sorry for what you try to do
breaking others down. to try and to pursue
your own selfish interests
i am starting to get sick of you

whatever happened ever since you left
you make yourself and me look like fools


2.Passage To Desire

Gathering
Almost A Dance
Passage To Desire
(Music:Frank/Rene/Hugo,
Lyrics:Niels/Martine)

I feel like I am hurt
Can't you see
I try to express
But I act like you're a stranger to me
I want to share, but don't know how
My eyes can't speak
And my mouth won't write it down

And there's so much confusion
as I want to clear it up
Cause when I start, suddenly,
the end has begun
Maybe if I touch, you will feel
what I mean but you're acting strange

Cause my eyes look differently
Caught by death, I do not hope
that my release is decided long ago

I try to get out
To jump at once in a place
Where it's all right or wrong
and I won't be afraid
I open myself for you
and all those others


3.Adrenaline (Jp-Bonus)

Gathering
Mandylion
Adrenaline (Jp-Bonus)
what makes you forget is the structure
you're in, all your life
can't you feel there is the animal inside
growing roots, still, inside your mind

suppress your underbeing and let them rule
you don't care, yeah you don't give a damn
as long as you've got your car
do you actually go so far, as giving in your
adrenaline away


4.Third Chance (Jp-Bonus)

Gathering
Mandylion
Third Chance (Jp-Bonus)
fear and sweat, my muscles ache
I smile but it's just a fake
I fade away
it troubles me, what you're gonna say
just a day away
and you will be here to stay

I wait and I wait
and what i really hate
is the panic that stops me from breathing
my knees hit the floor
and I panic more
until you open my door

as long as you've got your car
do you actually go so far, as giving in your

In motion #1 (live)


kill me with your thoughts
use your mind
hand me over to this world
into death...

make me cry in vain
leave one tear
touch my face with your sigh
leave me against the stream
one hundred worlds will see me
passing by...


8.On Most Surfaces (Inuit)

On Most Surfaces (Inuit)


The frost hits me in the eye
and wakes me
these are blury winters
and I cannot see

I walk into the white light of the snow
when the sun comes
I break it with my shadow
which tales me where I go

The frost hits me in the eye
and wakes me

I am the snow falling down on you
I tear up your face with my frost
And make you run to somewhere warm
When I come I see you get away
I burst out about your emptyness

The frost hits me in the eye
and wakes me
these are blury winters
and I cannot see


9.Probably Built In The Fifities

Miscellaneous
Probably Built In The Fifities


I might be moving to the east
to part my ways
And I will try to get something
I don't have yet
If I do, I will look at it
for days and days
Untill I will never forget

I have heard this mental search
has made them all
take a look along the border
Having the urge
For their minds
to be lifted
to something new
I'm running to meet
my higher self

I trust the speed
Untill I have no need
to run anymore

Miles and miles I run

I hear my feet
And I hear myself breathe
heavily

I trust the speed
Untill I have no need
To run anymore

Miles and miles I run

Strange machines (album version)


it has always been in the back of my mind
dreaming about going to the corners of time
i always wanted to fly in strange machines

i wanna do centuries in a lifetime
and feel it with my hands
touch the world war II and Cleopatra
flying...

could it be that my dream would come true
building a machine that would actually do
what i want it to do

russian revolution, let's do that in one day
Beethoven and Gershwin i think that would be o.k.
more than anything i wanna fly in strange machines

i wanna do centuries in a lifetime
and see it with my eyes
watch Jesus rise, if he ever did
flying...

i wanna do centuries in a lifetime
and feel it with my hands
touch renaissance and Chaka Khan
flying...

12.In Power We Entrust The Love Advocated

Lyricist:Lisa Gerard, Perry Michael, James Pinker, Scott Rodger, Peter
Ulrich

Sail on silver wings
Through this storm what fortune love may bring
Back to my arms again
The love of a former golden age

I am disabled by fears
Concerning which course to take
For now that wheels are turning
I find my faith deserting me

This night is filled with cries of
Dispossessed children in search of paradise
A sign of unresolve
That envisioned, drives the pinwheel on-and-on

I am disabled by fears
Concerning which course to take
When memory bears witness to
The innocence, consumed in dying rage

The way lies through our love
There can be no other means to the end
Or keys to my heart
You will never find you will never find


13.When The Sun Hits (Cover Version)

Lyricist:Neil Halstead

Sweet thing, I watch you
Burn so fast, it scares me
Mind games don't leave me
I've come so far, don't lose me

It matters where you are

As the sun hits, she'll be waiting
With her cool things and her heaven
Hey, hey lover, you still burn me
You're a song, yeah, hey, hey

Sweet thing, I watch you
Burn so fast, it scares me
Mind games don't leave me
I've come so far, don't lose me

It matters where you are

As the sun hits, she'll be waiting
With her cool things and her heaven
Hey, hey lover, you still burn me
You're a song, yeah, hey, hey

Sweet thing, I watch you, hey, hey
Sweet thing, I watch you, hey, hey
