The Passing of the Years

You promised me
you'd come away with me
when we grew older we would run
But in the end
I was the only one who really planned ahead
leaving you behind
At the time the path seemed clear
Never stopped for souvenirs
And left all we once held dear
in the passing of the years
and the calling of the times
All we knew
we never seemed to carry on across the hills
our roads must climb
The life we outgrew
we never seem to follow through
the plans we made all lost to us
We blame it on the arrogance of youth
and don't remember the lies come with old age
and we stumble past the signs
Where were we
in the passing of the years
and the calling of the times

The Devil's Work

Sails on the horizon
Hear the winds a’roaring boys
Now and when the night comes
may we dare to rise and fall
Fire over yonder
Hold fast and prime your pieces boys
Sail as if no morrow comes
May we dare to rise and fall
Muzzles roaring
Rains a'pouring
while the balls are whistling by
Look aloft boys
keep your heads strong
while we sail for kingdom come
---
Hulls a'bursting
Sails a'ripping
Limbs are flying through the skies
Last man shouting
No one's hearing
I will do the devil’s work, alone

Rome

He has always had a single goal
He went to rome, he heard a call
No need to take the burden of the journey home
The less you see, the less you know lest the mind gets torn
High above the world he floats the cityscape sublime
Golden towers blinding whites, from faraway divine
So young, so keen, follow your feet
Who am I to keep you home?
Think and die, succeed, don't try
A single man knows all that's worth to know
A single man knows all that's worth to know

If There Was a God

If there was a god
smiling back at us
whenever we looked up
into the sky
If there was a god
we wouldn't need a promised land
we'd shape our paradise
by his guiding hand
We wouldn't need to reach beyond the sky
and all the rules we build upon we can't defy
If there was a god
looking down at us
whenever we looked up
into the clouds above
Ever would we feel
his judging gaze of steel
No doubt could pierce our faith
Only the blind believe
We wouldn't need to reach beyond the sky
and all the rules we build upon we can't defy
Cursed to know it all
Caught beneath his mighty flaw
But nothing can befall
the men who heed his call

Bury Me

Ooh you fancy me
you walk on roses
Ooh you can not see
it's all suppposes
Ooh you'd like to see
your fearless idol
When you're afraid of a 'morrow, don't give in to sorrow
but gaze into these eyes
I can make you see forever
into other peoples dreams
Let me win you with my clever
heart-devouring loveless schemes
I can grow you in my garden
I can flower you with praise
When you sow the seed I offer
I will set your heart ablaze!
All hypocricy
Bury me, bereave me!
Let me make you see forever
In my world of makebelieve
Let me sway you with my clever
Unabiding callous schemes
