On this train will it always rain? Try to analyze this led venture Songless sky, digital bug-eye Octogonal seams so much clearer Indiscrete status incomplete To provide me with something better Things come and go This world is droll All that I know The Unknown knows Talk to me you flying shadows Wandering into the ozone stew Keep your myths from the embryos Who would misconstrue anything new An outright official fiasco Can you shield me from the drastic truth Times come and go How dull's the flow All that I hope The Unknown knows May some sign come to me That I am in their league Back down to reality Look about, response is wanting Events are carefully on display Common sense, a gift is given But mystic mistakes are never made Suspecting premature daydreams I surrender to ritual grey I come and go Endless approach I must be close The Unknown knows Why all this commotion now? Stop! (Stop!) Wait! (Wait) I wish I knew the one who knows Yesterday will come With tomorrow's sun And merry-go-round Stuck on muddy ground Nineteen yelping fools Half-wits spouting drool Half of which have some The others have none I knew all along

Panorama 03:16
Walking down an alley deep in blue neon A dead end for today under skyways worn Concrete far from below rising up above Surrounded by shadows, garden without gods All are strangers alike, all riding the blind The purple of their eyes in reverie unwind Circling sub-city, a rainbow appears To calm down the fury, to calm all the fears This random occurance is only a sign Of the incoherence in the clockwork mind A symphony of our time recalling the past People in a decline denying the vibrations we're made of Somber drama rolling downhill Panorama - all is so still Anyway, anyhow Anyhow, anyway End of all reason, end of all reason Is what I go through, yes, it is what I go through Slip-sliding nation, slip-sliding nation Is what they must do, yes, it is what they must do Over the greying landscape, under a deadened sky Sitting on a mountain, I will stand aside As I am a witness I turn a blind eye I am feeling helpless but it passes by Is this a modern legend? Maybe a fairy tale Just a future requiem Cutting along the fiction that we're made of Somber drama rolling downhill Panorama - all is so still Anyway, anyhow Anyhow, anyway

Zoning in a hall of glass Plasma flowing from a cask Piercing overtones Mainline into my back pack It's full of clouds in my house It's full of clouds in my house A grey hive, humming white souls Frenzy reviving the room Energized by many flumes Drip-drop on my head Wakes me from a thousand moons It's full of clouds in my house It's full of clouds in my house A grey hive, humming white souls A grey hive, humming white souls A grey hive, humming white souls Circle dance inside the cave All movement brings a message Larvae, in their holes Waiting for a summer daze It's full of clouds in my house It's full of clouds in my house A grey hive, humming white souls A grey hive, humming white souls A grey hive, humming white souls

The Prow 03:08
There you are, you're with me Protecting all my crew I carved you from a tree My vision is you Lorelei I have thee In front of my ship Cutting waves at full speed Savouring the trip Down the mirror of the waterline Leanin' over underwater life Hidden treasures of the seven seas I'm starboard to nowhere On the milky way Howlin' wind, salty air Tearin' at the sails Lookin' down the crow's nest Glidin' in the sky Without sound, goin' west Boatin' on the fly Down the mirror of the waterline Leanin' over underwater life Hidden treasures of the seven seas But some day you'll go home Far away on your own Dans la mer, you'll go down Go down where you belong Down the mirror of the waterline Leanin' over underwater life Hidden treasures of the seven seas

Angel Rat 03:53
The idiot walks along a canvas Sunday rendezvous, mister phobia "Maybe today fear will go away, I'll fly!" A gruesome rain, a seraph wailing Flapping madly, shaking on the wing "Listen, my friend Never look down from the cliff" "Take care, beware! Do try to catch the eclipse" Obsession, the will to fly (it would be nice) Still, a nagging doubtful mind (it will be fine) Straight ahead half luna shines (now is the time) Here comes darkness Distanced from above Bold emptiness Omniscient fog Obsession, the will to fly (it would be nice) Still, a nagging doubtful mind (it will be fine) Straight ahead half luna shines (now is the time) Up on the edge Ready! one, two... go! Rat or angel Does one really know? The idiot walks along a canvas

Golem 04:25
I know, I know from the assembly line I know, I know the three laws of my type I was not made to smile I was not built to lie I ask my positron self, I ask my positron self Why am I born apart We work alone inside the big dome There's no reason for my eyes to glow Every night, every morning, every day I know, I know all data and functions I know, I know the power of the Shining Sun I don't care what I am I am the neverman I ask my kindred spirit, I ask my kindred spirit Why do I dream of kites We work alone inside the big dome There's no reason for my eyes to glow Every night, every morning, every day Whatever to serve my master, anything to save my master Whatever to serve my master, anything to save my master Whatever to serve my master, anything to save my master Whatever to serve my master, anything to save my master I know, I know the passage of my time I know, I know the same old daily grind-er I know, I know, I know I know, I know, I know I know, I know, I know I know

The Outcast 03:19
Doorway in sight Not a second too late Into the night Siren, spot light Wailing wolves at the gate Into the night Mad dog patrol Roaming 'round the grounds and All set to go Hiding alone Somewhere from the blood hounds All set to go Running all day in every direction Finding his way to civilization Everything's gonna work out Yes, everything's gonna work out He used to stand by his window, you know The view was so good, he wanted to go-oh And now that he's back on those same old streets He's locked in again and falls on his knees, ey! Running away That is all that he knows Time and again He fades away And forgets where he goes Time and again Running all day in every direction Finding his way to civilization Everything's gonna work out Yes, everything's gonna work out

Freedoom 04:33
The red grass up to my knees Aurora comes towards me Someone's changed your formula Un-chaining another law The structures, the colors Uniform chaos is alternating Uniform chaos is alternating The nature of things The nature of things The nature of things The nature of things The nature of things The nature of things Immense inertia Nearly nirvana Is this quest forever? Oceans of motion A field of questions I won't last forever I won't last forever I won't last forever I won't last forever I won't last forever The nature of things The nature of things The nature of things The nature of things The nature of things The nature of things The nature of things The nature of things

Ride, ride on Ride the sunrise to higher ground Ride, ride on Ride the hog high, you're glory bound, yeah Ride, ride on There is no time you're moving on Ride, ride on There is a sign, another town Bad muckin' luck and misery All is forgotten memories Trouble and time left way behind Trouble and time, a thousand crimes And all the things you will regret And all the things you can't forget There's no reason to be ashamed For your many ill-gotten gains Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah And the Moonbeam shines on the Chrome Ride, ride on Don't you realize What's going on Ride, ride on The road to the stars You're riding on Did you ever live in this world? Were you ever within your world? You ride away, you ride alone Ride on and on until you're gone Do you believe you now are free? Do you believe you're born to be The Moonbeam Rider in the sky The Moonbeam Rider on the fly Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Le Pont Noir 05:15
I'm going to the bridge tonight Venus shines so ever bright Deep in the woods under the stars How did I come to get this far? Have this feeling... what will I find Around the corner of my mind? A thousand trees of creeping sin Dead leaves blowing in the wind I'm whistling an old melody To keep the beast away from me I hear the call of croaking frogs Answering me lost in the fog I tell myself everything's fine Here in these woods for the first time Aoo-aah... Aoo-aah... Aoo-aah... Aoo-aah... Out in the dark, a shadow sound Fear to look but turn around I realize I'm face to face Two yellow eyes, an evil gaze Ugly blood hound, no wagging tail How long has he been on my trail? Down to the bridge he's leading me What is it he wants me to see? Aoo-aah... Aoo-aah... Aoo-aah... Already we've arrived, here I am There's the bridge, where's the man, what a scam! That story 'bout the bridge isn't true I'm enjoying myself, what a view! They say the bridge is not what it is No one ever comes back... so they say What could happen to me, anyway? From away a tall man comes to me... Has he been here waiting... just for me? He says there's no more fishing in the lake But one thing for sure... I'm the catch of the day! This is what happens When one looks for gold Turn'd into gray stone And down deep you are thrown! All this is over All this is over All this is over All this is over
