All Fire

Tonight
The gentle fragrance
Distant smoke out in the night sky
We rise
And move in number to the fray
From word to deed we speak of Rome
From an echo immune to the tune of the rage
Come of age
With shaking hands
We build our fire
Alight
The embers glowing
Telling tales around the bonfire
We dance
Consumed in fury clean and pure
A righteous blaze to tame the field
As order in flashes from ashes to dust
So we must
Sleep well tonight
Your house on fire
Come one, come all
Witness the rise and fall
Revel in the ashes
That fall like winter snow
Come one, come all
Witness the rise and fall
From the ivory tower
As above and so below
Awake
The noble savage
Pound the drum and let the sparks fly
We burn bright
And raze your hollow temples down
We are your tired and your poor
Your huddled masses at the door
Who yearn no more…
We breathe free tonight
Your world on fire

The Night Watch

Close your eyes
A tragedy in the making
We are not long for this world
We are not long for this world
No witness to the deception
And never make the connection
So the lies prevail
Come the time
A remedy for the taking
We are not long for this world
We are not long for this world
Another passing reflection
Revelation when we meet our eyes
The distance fades…
Are you on the night watch?
Speak in tongues tonight
Out there on the night watch
Lift the veil tonight
This is the turning of the tide
A bridge over the great divide
They are not long for this world
They are not long for this world
And so begins the procession
An all-consuming obsession
Rank and file tonight
And to the men that wear the crown:
We know what goes up must come down
They are not long for this world
They are not long for this world
One in a line of succession
Celebration when we meet our eyes
Dominion fades…

101 Go
03:11

Wide awake, moving straight toward the heart of it
Make me up, yeah I’m gonna be a part of it
Gonna make the scene, gonna join the crowd
If you can’t understand what I’m going through
It’s the beat of the street that I’m moving to
Wanna feel alive, wanna hear it loud
Get inside ’cause that’s where I wanna be
Oh yeah
Ticket paid, masquerade ’til the break of dawn
Hit the lights ’cause there’s so much more to see
Oh yeah
Make me blind, lose my mind, baby bring it on
Shake my soul, and I’ll never be the same
Oh yeah
Got you right in my sights, time to start the show
Count it off, let the night go up in flames
Oh yeah
No control, rock ‘n’ roll 101: go
Twelve ‘o clock, ready, set, and I’m out the door
Take the wheel, gonna get what I’m looking for
One shining moment, a state of mind
Don’t you dare touch the dial, that’s my favorite song
Turn it up, turn it up, I wanna sing along
Go faster, louder, leave the world behind
In the noise and the lights, yeah I feel alright
Lost in space, time and place, young and free tonight
Gonna move and shake, gonna scream and shout
Only know what’s enough when I’ve gone too far
One shot, burn hot like a dying star
Got a fire inside, gonna let it out

Translucent

I went and woke up sick today
Choking on words I cannot say
Afraid I’ll never be OK
Collaborate and listen
The thing you’ve bought that you’ve adored
The diamond flawed you can’t afford
A parody, a cheap reward
So modulate and glisten
The tide comes in
Swallowing the moon-lit shores
That we played on years ago
It seems
The tide goes out
The past is washed away
And here we stand now
Born clean
Now overdrawn but underspent
And wonder how you’ll make the rent
So just ignore the accident
Because my make-up’s stunning
It’s so easy to acquire
The moment wet, the passion fire
But later stripped down to the wire
Fickle, sick and running
This immaculate fear
This tide of regret
This dream of tomorrow
I cannot forget
This pain in my chest
This gleam in my eye…
This delirious joy
This particular taste
The remembrance of years
All the years that I’d waste
Now the moment is here
And I think I could die…
And still I’m drunk and flying blind
But there’s a beacon in my mind
Take 13, and then rewind
Then I wake up back in town
And while my footsteps fall unsure
My heart’s desire is clean and pure
Though my disease may have no cure
I ante up and double down

You Can See Through Me
04:09

Only you can see through me…
Only you know exactly what I mean
Only you can see through…
Now is the time
I never realized life’s
Long enough
Waiting, wading
Through countless frustrations
Acting tough
Faulty combinations
Pale imitations
Always lonely – never alone
But time to time, a glimpse of bliss
Came to me in your kiss
And called me home…
(Only) you can see through me…
Only you can see through me…
Only you are everything I need
Memories mine
How they never lost their shine
Only you can see through me…
Laying low, you let me in
Released from where I once hid
We never had to say a lot, but we always did
This joyous exclamation
The greatest motivation
At long last my love
A life of celebration
What dreams are…
actually made of
