Ghosts 11:24
GHOSTS lyin' and freezin' evening comes on the big screen fast, day by day the sea's gone dry i never realized dust of my question remains on my fingers after all this time still i'm waiting for answers ghosts come at sunset share my bed and whisper in my ear they lie upon my body as stony sheets i cannot fall asleep they show me all my fears calling them by name however hard i try to close my eyes the hurt is just the same red the flower in my side pain is beating see life in flowers white worms heave flesh is eaten dust of my question remains on my fingers the wind of your answer he can't blow anything away nothing away my ghosts come at sunset filling up my eyes and mouth with sand i try to breathe grabbing at the air to take your helping hand since the day you left me i can feel they chase me everywhere i reach out for help and tumble into the void for no one's there (if only i could breathe... if only i could... see... instead) hold the tears in my heart consequence of unlistened prayers "please, listen to me" so jesus showed me shelter then gave me rain... wait for the day to come wait 'till the ghosts are gone daylight is still so far but so much nearer than you are my ghosts come at sunset share my bed and whisper in my ear i try to fall asleep - i only fall they're feeding on my fear who cares says "patience, it only takes a little time" but all i see by now is ghosts and so far still they come... still they come... still they come...

HEAVENLAND (MARBLE COLUMN PT. 1) do not dream of me 
 i don't long to be here 
 one fine day i'll walk, walk away from here 

there was peace in our dreams                                   but war is all they mean tell me once again of friends and lovers gone i have seen someone fly up on broken wings in cascades of sunlight rivers sing so don’t dream of me i don’t long to be here one fine day we’ll walk, walk away from here one sweet day we’ll walk, walk away heavenland ! what has become of you and us? what’s left over the hills?

THE MARBLE COLUMN THE ORDINARY MAN: don't wake up, stay down there so you won't see the falling bombs all the people stare at eagles flying, but how long? come see the falling bombs it feels like when you watch tv sparkles and fireworks out of reach right behind the hills they tell you that this had to be they did the same to me tonight - treasures beyond the hills tonight - treasures beyond the hills dreamland is dreamless parties of people kill heavenland kill heavenland - kill heavenland silent boys, plastic toys the greatest army ever seen army soon will fall the pieces they don't fit at all is there a god to call? waters falling from your eyes they have no sound or smell rainbows we see from this land they lead us to the wishing well maybe the walls of hell tonight - there's stars beyond the hills tonight - there's stars beyond the hills dreamland is dreamless parties of people kill heavenland kill heavenland - kill heavenland THE SOLDIER: he's in front of me i'm willing to kill in front of me and he's coming up, coming up he's staring at me and i shoot it out and he's dead his body's falling he's in front of me he's willing to kill in front of me and i'm coming up, coming up he's staring at me and he shoots it out and i'm dead my body's falling join the party !! GOD: call but don't you call for me unless you drown i'm not that strong i do not long to be here THE ORDINARY MAN: dreamland is dreamless parties of people kill heavenland kill heavenland kill heavenland your land and the column will fall down and the column will fall down and the column will fall down will fall down

NAIL IN MY HAND i try so hard to get out still within reach of your clutch you’re stuck between my ribs and out of reach of my touch you are my broken bones you are my blurry sight you are the tar in my lungs that makes me cough at night you are my twisted heart blind and deaf to any call you are the nail in my hand you hang me on the wall waiting in town - in a hot summer day waiting in vain - you’ve never gone away you’ve never gone away you are the break in my fingers you are the straw in my eye you are the beam hanging over me over me but out of sight you are the amputation you are condemnation incurable sickness, mortal disease something that tells me i don’t wanna heal waiting in town - in a white hot day waiting in vain - you’ve never gone away you let me down - what you do and what you say you get me pain - you’ve never gone away you’ve never gone away i still listen to you even now that i meet you with someone else someone who came after murder when the sea quit roaring and the mourning was gone will you leave him alone when the morning’s gone as you’ve done to me i still listen to you even now that i meet you with someone else someone who came after murder when the sea quit roaring and the mourning was gone will you leave him alone when the morning’s gone as you’ve done to me waiting in town - in a hot summer day waiting in vain - you’ve never gone away you let me down - what you do and what you say you get me pain - you’ve never gone away you made me feel so alone so alone, though you’ve never gone away never, never, never

PRESENTIMENTS I) certainties and doubt i look outside the window and wait for dawning light the river whispers quiet and slow in the frenzy of the night the stars of ursa maior scattered leaving trails so bright they were not united like we are - stars in the earthly sky come on, love, dance with me disguise is to banish let’s run in ghylls, let’s run in whirls you’ll fire me and then vanish so speak to me talk to me i will listen to you i will listen to you and you say: “we are all leaves and we’d better care for cold breeze has come running in the air we can believe, or pray, or dare but cold breeze has come running in the air take a look outside our loveland as far as the eye can see this frenzy we live in will never end and that’s the way it will always be it will always be...” don’t you believe when they tell you this is no love don’t you give in when they show you the way to go can’t you see up there the stars that are shooting down smashing on the ground the night is lit as day but the moon’s not on the stage and i saw the sky so grey and i met the coming rage wind blows the dust away his anger on the window pane he brings defiantly this way the sound of a far far train if i walked on a siding with a thorn in my side and hanging trains guiding they’d call it suicide the storm is screaming violent beyond the falling rain when the thunder voice is silent i can hear a far far train II) the stranger speak to me talk to me come to me stay with me hold on to me stay with me don’t leave me alone i feel you colder but you say it’s alright with us i feel like a stranger but you say i’m always the same to you you keep on telling me you need love but you act like you don’t i wonder if you are still here tomorrow out of distance, flashing far away bring it back, ashes on the track presentiments recalling something else’s days out of distance, flashing far away III) vs. all down here down here... take me to where the children smile take me to where the sun still shines take me to where our love’s not bound do it now, i see them coming round out of distance, flashing far away bring it back, ashes on the track presentiments recalling something else’s days out of distance, flashing far away colours after rain are only memories bring it back, ashes on the track someone stepping out, someone moving out presentiments recalling something else so loud so speak to me, talk to me i will listen to you i will listen to your voice your bittersweet words i look outside the window inviting dawning light the river flows, the corn field glows irony of the oncoming night

Machine 12:19
MACHINE when you need to sing a song scream or you will not be heard town and cities, shining cities, shining noises talk so loud and nothing's learned talk so loud and nothing's learned the machine still works and works though the end so empty, love so we live and die, laugh and cry, swear and lie fall and fly until the end but we never wonder why no, we never wonder why who can i believe? bread and stones - we feed they told me to believe they told me so but now someone broke the pictures and someone else is gonna break what's left who will come to save you? and who will come to save us all tonight? somebody help him to come back again for the kingdom come somebody help him to come back again for the kingdom come once he guided with a star princes, kings and visionaries babylon, jerusalem manna falling from heaven talk but never understand all the rules from one to ten someone broke them once lying in a bed of cold help is owed, for help he calls babylon, jerusalem no more joy down from heaven once he sang the sweetest song breath is lost and strength has gone no one would help him to come back again for the kingdom come no one would help him to come back again for the kingdom come there are no more souls upon here there are no more souls all across the land there is nothing left around here bonfires beside the streets and still no end the statue garden, cold bloodless flesh i'm the moving one, i'm the stepping one i can hear a laughter, someone's having fun they invite me to their cruising dark and i enter the room... walking through the polystyrene corridors... searching for reflections... somebody help him to come back again for the kingdom come no one would help him to come back again for the kingdom come and when the anger's gone away you know we're gonna wait for you again somebody help him to come back again for the kingdom come somebody... somebody... somebody...
