There's been a primitive contribution
By some people in this world
Are they littering our dreamscape?
Affecting the minds of boys and girls?

Treasure the memories, forget the times
They are the ones committing the crimes
Read all their words, compete in their game
Believe when they tell you, ‘Life is not the same’

And the day is coming closer
When we can't tell the lies from what is true
The planet is painted black and white
When it should be painted green and blue

Treasure the memories, forget the times
They are the ones committing the crimes
Read all their words, compete in their game
Believe when they tell you, ‘Life is not the same’

Predestined by One

The waves are endless on this shoreline
Beyond, the misty urban glow
Sure as the tide, passion burns deep inside
But I'm helpless against the undertow

Colors fall from a slumber-laden sky
Just as they did the day before
But given the right, would you turn back the night
Or promise me there would be any more?

There's a sage with a vacant stare
And an empty crystal ball
No control, no revelation
Only writing on the wall

A long goodbye and many questions
Tears colliding with the rain
And with every cloud comes a prayer out loud
No promises to shelter us from pain

There's a sage with a vacant stare
And an empty crystal ball
No control, no revelation
Only writing on the wall
Sure as the trading of the seasons
And the earth around the sun
Every second of the future
Is predestined by One

The Shape of Things to Come

Picture an ocean of pleasure and care
One can dive to the bottom, never come up for air
Or filling valleys with mountains and meandering streams
Which carry a flood of incredible dreams
To cities covered in sun from building to street
Where the vagabonds dance to a tectonic beat
Or find a passionate storm within a desert soul
The climate is changing from pole to pole

There's a time approaching, nothing of its kind
To elevate your body, resurrect your mind
Carve your own path, strike a blow to a different drum
But don't deny the shape, the shape of things to come

Imagine a world where the visions run free
And the colors unite into a resident sea
Where no one's an island, nor lost in a crowd
The message is pure and coming out loud
In the depths of all time, the calendar still
No need for a cure, solution or pill
For an outbreak of love where the dying rejoice
In the grip of disease, is this not a choice?
There's a time approaching, nothing of its kind
To elevate your body, resurrect your mind
Doesn't matter why you are, where you come from
But don't deny the shape, the shape of things to come

Vinyl Bliss

All of the men are actors on a stage of fools
Auditioning for her love, someday

One look - pleasure
How does he measure?

One dream kiss, in vinyl bliss
Never gonna feel like this
Oh, there's one last chance, the final dance
Just before I open up my eyes

See the curtain fade, once the choice is made
What does he win when the prize is pain?
One heart broken, one word spoken - Hello?

One dream kiss, in vinyl bliss
Never gonna feel like this
Oh, there's one last chance, the final dance
Just before I open up my eyes

Echoes

I can see you dancing
In the pillow fields in your grief
Stealing rays of an autumn sun like a thief
Stricken by disease, but not by fear
How suddenly November winds
Would carry you away from here
I can feel you fading
As the winter makes its claim
Too innocent to justify or lay blame
And you were chosen as your fate,
But not by worth
So many kind reflections
That you made upon this earth

And I remember your tiny hands on my face
Make-believes and whispers smothered in grace
Now the memories are silent without a refrain
But the essence of your world will not echo in vain

I can hear you laughing
In the pointed face of death
With the ebbing of your strength
And shallowed breath
And if I just close my eyes I see
A pale shadow of me
Looked into a mirror at my own mortality

And I remember as I stood at your side
The times when my emotions
Were swallowed by pride
Now the memories are silent without a refrain
But the essence of your world
Will not echo in vain

There was a calm storm in your eyes
As your fingers around me curled
Not an atom of surprise
When your spirit left this world
Under the clouded veil of night,
A snowflake hit the ground
And you passed into Heaven's light
Without a sound

Nothing without You

Open hands, an empty space
With nothing left to save me but your grace
Beg this heart, unholy frame
And once again I falter in your name

I couldn’t say the words
They were pleading to be heard
Masquerade, abandon me
Turn away and I'd be

Nothing without you
Nothing without You

Unforgiving, incomplete
And now I find I'm falling at your feet
The faded seeds of light, a precious few
But tonight I feel a thousand candles burning for you

Now reality, my fears
Only bitter songs and tears
Faith, security I need
Not a spirit to bleed
And though I couldn't say the words
They were pleading to be heard
Masquerade, abandon me
Turn away and I'd be

Nothing without you
Nothing without you

Shores of Eternity

I was recalling
A time and place
A meeting of strangers
A notion of grace
And I wasn't searching
Nor wanting for more
But the answer fit me like a glove
It was nothing that I had known before

It was so unfamiliar
The vision I'd seen
A future in your arms
And everything in between
Your faith and conviction
Your infinite will
A coin for every thought of you
A canyon I could fill

Take my love to the mountain sky
Scatter it to the sea
Feel the waves come crashing down
Upon the shores of eternity
Everlasting as the stars
Forever as the sun
"Until the end of time"
"The dawn of tomorrow" has just begun

We started from nowhere
And ended with life
A journey from two passing souls
To becoming man and wife
And now I will give you
A message so clear
A ring to signify my love
A secret for all to hear

Take my love to the mountain sky
Scatter it to the sea
Feel the waves come crashing down
Upon the shores of eternity
Everlasting as the stars
Forever as the sun
"Until the end of time"
Has just begun
