The Human Condition

Chorus-

Running from the human condition

Step Inside

Beyond your eyes

Feeding your mind?

Bridge-

Step inside

Without a trace

No hiding place

Bridge-

Step inside

Chorus-

Is it your curiosity?

Will the answer set you free?

You don’t have to ask me why

Just look inside

Never loosing your dignity

But there’s something you gotta see

Don’t let time pass you by

Just look inside

Under control

never let go

Bridge-

Step inside

Chorus-

Is it your curiosity?

Will the answer set you free?

You don’t have to ask me why

Just look inside

Never loosing your dignity

But there’s something you gotta see

Don’t let time pass you by

Just look inside

Chorus B-

One door

There’s a chance you take it

Cross that borderline

You’ll wonder how

The time has faded

In your state of mind

Someday you will find

Yourself alone

You will find yourself

You will find yourself

Hands Of Time

For every word there is forgiveness

For every lie I stand defensless

Under the moon the truth is buried

Your silent wound is my cross to carry

Chorus-

Through the narrow hands of time

An open door will lead you far and wide

In a world we learn to fly

You’re running for a lonely place to hide

Through the narrow hands of time

A lonely world will remember

Every empire won’t surrender

My point of view is rendered empty

The burden lies in my hands of entry

Chorus-

Through the narrow hands of time

An open door will lead you far and wide

In a world we learn to fly

You’re running for a lonely place to hide

Through the narrow hands of time

Chorus-

Through the narrow hands of time

An open door will lead you far and wide

In a world we learn to fly

You’re running for a lonely place to hide

Bridge-

When the lonely road is far and wide

In the mistery of your mind

And you’re searching for a place to hide

Then the history, then the history comes alive

In the mistery of the mind

Then the history comes, the history comes alive

Avalon

A tree in the stream floating upside down

A boat with a hole spinning round and round

There’s a bird on a string staring up at the clouds

And a rat with snake heading underground

Standing on the top of Avebury Hill

A circle appears, the pathway is still

The egg stone is waiting there right at the top

Can you see a maze that time has forgot?

Bridge-

Standing on

Avalon

My thoughts are in the way

Yesterday

So far away

The hills of Avalon

Deep in the waves where the ocean hides

There’s a reflection from an auburn sky

The rainbows unfold with the light of the sun

The vision serenity has just begun

I rest in the shadows where the air is clear

I hear of a silence that’s drawing near

I search the horizon that lives in a dream

An innocent world awaits for me

Chorus-

Am I there or maybe not

I’m sure there’s a way but I could be wrong

There’s a road to travel on

Way up in the hills of Avalon

(Repeat chorus 2x)

Way up in the hills of Avalon

A Number With A Name

The hole in my pocket

A personal work of art

I know that I’ve lost it

Now how can I make a mark?

I’m not a bad driver

But not in a parking lot

Was never a pilot

Whenever it came to dosh

I’m mumbling sober

The meter is running cold

Won’t go any lower

The ladder is getting old

I’m driving on empty

I’m stuck in a rusty cage

And no one wil save me

I’m wielding a ton of rage

Chorus-

Someone turned

The lighthouse down

And it began to rain

I think I need a bail out now?

A number with a name

The phone is not ringing

I’m getting a fear of hights

Now what was I thinking

As someone turned out the lights

I’m mapping out Wall Street

It kinda looks all the same

I’m mining for money

Don’t wanna be me today

(Repeat chorus)

Bridge-

You know we’re all the same

A number with a name

That’s how we plan the game

A number with a name

(Repeat chorus)

Now Is Now

Running circles in the dark

Sharing one world is not enough

Bridge-

Now is, now is, now is, now

Now is, now is, now is, now

Chorus-

If I should fall to rise again

In a place I’ve never seen

I’d do it all over again

Will you remember me?

Marching aimless out of time

Words unspoken open wide

Bridge-

Now is, now is, now is, now

Now is, now is, now is, now

Chorus-

If I should fall to rise again

In a place I’ve never seen

I’d do it all over again

Will you remember me?

(Repeat chorus)

Will you remember me?

Let It Go

You travel the distance arising in the dark

You’re on the run, there’s no where to hide

The total resistance will guide you with a spark

You’re coming undone with wounds open wide

Chorus-

Let it go, you keep walking on the line

Let it go, take the time to realize

You never surrender avoid the regrets

Now you’re going down, you’re losing control

Bridge-

Every now and then, looking back again

At the point of your destruction

You psychoanalyze in your pool of lies

Drowning critical illusion

All that you are is a ripple on the ocean

That’s lost in a tide

Chorus-

Let it go, you keep walking on the line

Let it go, take the time to realize

Let it go

You travel the distance arising in the dark

You’re on the run, there’s no where to hide

The total resistance will guide you with a spark

You’re coming undone with wounds open wide

Chorus-

Let it go, you keep walking on the line

Let it go, take the time to realize

Crown Of Thorns

Truth is born, mystified

‘Till the day hunts you down

Crown of thorns, dignified

Fills my head without a sound

Bridge-

One endless crime of anxiety

Am I last in line?

The ocean of time has forsaken me

Tell me why

Iron tongues, suckled life

While I’m helpless bruised and torn

Broken laws, poison minds

Feel my blood is running cold

(Repeat bridge)

Chorus-

The scattered profanity

Honored and written in stone

Conducted by vanity

Leading us more than you know

Wreck of lies, toxic codes

As I start to lose control

Cracks my skin, indisposed

Now I’m ready to explode

(Repeat bridge)

(Repeat chorus 2x)

(Repeat bridge 2x)

Truth is born, mystified

‘Till the day hunts you down

Crown of thorns, dignified

Fills my head without a sound

(Repeat chorus 2x)

You Look Good To Me

Diamonds covered by the water

I know where they are

Close your eyes

And you’ll see further

Looking good so far

Take a picture, full exposure

One more day goes by

Eyes wide open, over driven

Leave them wondering why

Chorus-

If you know it

You should show it

You’re hanging from a ladder I say

You look good to me

When you know it

You can show it

It really doesn’t matter I say

You look good to me

Getting louder, by the hour

Wondering where you are

Through the wire, feel the fire

Rising like a star

(Repeat chorus)

Bridge-

Climbing up, up on a ladder

Picture this

Climbing up, up on a ladder

I’ll tell ya this

Shoelace undone on a ladder

What a place to start

Hang on, so long doesn’t matter

Listen to your heart

(Repeat chorus 2x)
