The Belly of the Earth

In the Belly of the Earth
A traveller came
On oceans of tears
He told us a tale
Of legends and fears
There once was a child
Without laughter or birth
Now he’s rusted away,
In the belly of the Earth…

Shed all your tears so long
Shed all your tears so long
When the sun comes down
But you never want it left behind
You know your sight is gone
You know your sight is gone
But the night is long
And you never want it left behind
I’m the one that takes you home
Not much fighting left to do
And that’s so wrong
I’m the one that takes you home
Now the light has shone
Whence now death has come
Where the now the light has shone
But it shone to bright
And you never want it left behind
Know you, the night has grown
Know you, the night has grown
As you claw the ground
Never to stay behind
I’m the one that takes you home
Not much fighting left to do
And that’s so wrong
I’m the one that takes you home
Now the light has shone
I’m the one that takes you home
Not much fighting left to do
And that’s so wrong
I’m the one that takes you home
Not much fighting left to do
What’s this poor man to do?
Now the light has shone

Solar Huntress
Gather the one you've seen before
Never the spark will be restored
Gather the life you've lived before
ever the void a crimson door
tears run down, carry the crown, feeling caught in time
Gather the one you've seen before
open the gate; a world beyond
Set the sun
It's only yesterday today
Now there's something going on
Chase the sun
it's only yesterday today
Now there's something going on
Travel the time you'd dreamed so fair
sail on tides of sulphur air
follow the lines that led you there
swallow the wine in darkest prayer
Tears run down, feed the ground, dust kicked in your eyes
Travel the time you'd dreamed so fair
Cast your mind beyond despair
Set the sun
It's only yesterday today
Now there's something going on
Chase the sun
it's only yesterday today
Now there's something going on
Once the night was safe and warm
A starling in a cage
Through the bars, no beasts could harm
Until the huntsmen came
When the cage was opened wide
The bird took to the wing
Wasn’t that a curious thing
To hear them sing.
<Chorus>
Swallow the lies that led you here
Struggle to rise from childish fears
In your mind the words ring clear
In your eyes, a silent tear
Seeds of doubt, scream and shout
Tormenting your mind
Swallow the lies that led you’re here
Open your eyes; the truth is clear
<Chorus>

Supplies for the Festivities
In your dreams tonight,
All your fears subsiding
In your dreams tonight
Sight will fade away
In the dead of night
All the eyes are hiding
Dying candlelight
Darkness is the way
The world you left here on your own
The house you owned was not your home
And I keep lying on my own
With darkness creeping in my bones
Give me gift of sight
Let the darkness guide me
Give me gift of sight
Lessen the decay
Giving up the fight
When my heart is tiring
Giving up the fight
Take away the pain
The world you left here on your own
The house you owned was not your home
And I keep lying on my own
With darkness creeping in my bones
Figures in the sun
Dancing, burning, wasting
Figures in the sun
Turn their face away
When the day is done,
Cold, the dark embracing
When the day is done
Keep the light at bay
The world you left here on your own
The house you owned was not your home
And I keep lying on my own
With darkness creeping in my bones
Victims of the light
Hide their coward figures
Victims of the light
Crying to be saved
In your dreams tonight
Tight, the shadows calm you
In your dreams tonight
Burn away the day
The world you left here on your own
The house you owned was not your home
And I keep lying on my own
With darkness creeping in my bones

Blackening
You Live and breathe the darkness
You will now see
At once, a frayed illusion;
How can it be?
I tried to feel the light, an act you betrayed
I will be here for all time, it’s now my fate
The silence of the world
It’s a lie that you once heard
Takes you high above the
Life you wanted
Fills your eyes with fear
Take me home, where is home?
Home is here…
Night and shade; the river
Ebb and the flow
Endless wave surrounds you
Don’t let go
Worms that crawl beneath us
Drowning for life
Tides of change disturbing
Sands of time
The silence of the world
It’s a lie that you once heard
Takes you high above the
Life you wanted
Fills your eyes with fear
Take me home, where is home?
Home is here…
I will pray for the madness
I will pray for the beasts
I am one with the darkness in me…
The silence of the world
It’s a lie that you once heard
Takes you high above the
Life you wanted
Fills your eyes with fear
Take me home, where is home?
The silence of the world
It’s a lie that you once heard
Takes you higher than fear
Take me home, where is home?
Home is here…

Sun Sickness
Come forth the one
Come forth the fallen one
Burdened, the secrets of our lives
Lonely the one
Lonely the chosen one
Tempered against the sands of time
And would we stray
And would we stray to the dark?
Could we betray
Could we betray who we are?
The jaws of fate come for us all
And we will be there,
hands held high, to be saved
Night keep a watch on my soul
Sun-sickness taking hold…

The Clokkemaker
Is this not the world you wanted?
You are safe my child
Heed the chimes, the time is calling
Is our fate entwined?
I have sat at the master’s table
Where candles burned my eyes
Speak to me, my rusted children
Stay here by my side
Save me; betray me
Take my pain away,
Bring me dark horizons
Charm me; disarm me
Let it fade away
When the night surrounds you
Feel the time unwinding
Hear the tolling of a bell
Only you can see my face
Only you can hear me still
Childish fears have long departed
Scars left in your mind
Finish not what I have started
Will you say goodbye
A frozen face in darkened chambers
The sickness changing hands
A family curse that will be yours soon
Time waits for no man
Save me; betray me
Take my pain away,
Bring me dark horizons
Charm me; disarm me
Let it fade away
When the night surrounds you
Feel the time unwinding
Hear the tolling of a bell
Only you can see my face
Only you can hear me still
Take the journey back in time
The shadow calls your name
Count the hour; count the cost
There is no other way
You see: madness everywhere
It beckons to you mind
You doubt: senses turn away
Burning in the light
I don’t think that anyone
is waiting for my end
Caught the power; eager eyes
Are crying for my death
Time: darkness growing near
From the warden’s eye
End: empty solitude
From the earth to sky
Time keeper; where does the time go?
Time keeper; darkness is your home
Time keeper; where does the time go?
Time keeper; darkness is your home
Taking in the burning wastes,
I’m falling for your lies
Sightless vision, clawing hands
That clutch the sands of time
And when all the air is clear
And the lamps are lit tonight
You’ll see that your destiny
Is the same as mine
Time keeper; where does the time go?
Time keeper; darkness is your home
Time keeper; where does the time go?
Time keeper; darkness is your home
Darkness is your home...
Turn down the light
Turn down the light,
We keep the time you know,
Only you can see me…

The Waxwork Downs
Distorted faces, eyes of scorn
Stooped, bent double in ancient form
Now tempered by the toiling of our lives
A bygone gaze, a lifeless smile,
Neglected shrines now liquefied
A chronicle we wished that we could hide
In the ground
Find a vision of our past in the Waxwork Downs
Vapour lingers, clay blood boils
Mannequin figures work and toil
A museum of a time we’ll never know
Outstretched fingers, melting, spoiled
Flesh hues tarnish rust and soil
Slowly fading from a world they destroyed
Yet we found
Share a vision of our past in the waxwork downs
Daren’t stray too far
Something here unknown
Nested where diseased amusements grow
The house of the Clokkemaker!
Her nocturnal eyes, keen and trained
Her spyglass devices roam
Just how far can she see?
Just how much does she know?
Share a vision of your past, past, past
In the Waxwork Downs
Will the lamps burn bright tonight?

Leader of Men
Blessed be the preacher
Who absolves me of my sins
A madman in the gallows
Grasping threads that now wear thin
You throw your back to the wall;
The tourniquet pulling tight
But now you feel in control;
A saviour from the night
Are you a Leader of men?
Betrayed by the end?
Torn By their innocent faces?
No time to repent
Divine your descent
The light that you seek surely blinds you
Bloodline of deception
Claret boiling from a spark
Whispered ‘insurrection’
Stir the voices in the dark
You feel disease taking hold;
A sickness of the light
And now you see it unfold
The waking warden’s eye
Are you a Leader of men?
Betrayed by the end?
Torn By their innocent faces?
No time to repent
Divine your descent
The light that you seek surely blinds you
Summon forth the fire
Cast it back into the wastes
Shrouded by the iron
take the secret to my grave
You fear the hands reaching high
A nightmare forming clear
Omega, Alpha divide
You’ll bury them right here
Are you a Leader of men?
Betrayed by the end?
Torn By their innocent faces?
No time to repent
Divine your descent
The light that you seek surely blinds you

Lamplighter Overture
Take my hand
Tear the dark away from here
Here, tonight, come guide the way for me
We are, your shadow
Sheltered by a flame so low
Desire, so bright, come guide the way for me
Lamplighter, light the light
Lamplighter, light the light
In my mind
Something else is calling me
sleep, tonight, a child beyond our dreams
We fight, the daybreak
The night, our keeper
And when, the dark grows , come guide the way for me
Lamplighter, light the light
Lamplighter, light the light
Holding tomorrow;
A spark in your hand
Do, these eyes
Exist if no-one’s there to see?
Your, disguise, becomes our destiny
The path, leads nowhere
We’re trapped in this nightmare
Then fire, divine, will guide the way for me
Lamplighter, light the light
Lamplighter, light the light
Share, my warmth
Hold this candle to my fears
Flame to moth, the fire will draw me in
Our souls, are dying
Our hearts, entwining
And when, I die, come guide the way for me
Lamplighter, light the light
Lamplighter, light the light
Holding tomorrow;
A spark in your hand
Tear away the walls,
Wipe away the tears
We’re guided by his light tonight
It’s warming, falling, calling
