Dying In Heaven
04:42
|
|||
Are they crying in heaven
Over you, or over us?
Are you dying in heaven
Over you, or over us?
Is there a way we’ll always remember
Or will each day fade with us?
Are they praying in heaven
Or has it sighed it’s last breath for us?
As you pace through streets on fire
With anger and mistrust
Do we keep the peace or enquire
“was that ever enough?”
Help me keep my pace
‘Cos tonight I’ve suffered enough
Are we losing faith?
Keep the dream alive when its breathing is tough
Are they crying in heaven
Over you, or over us?
Are you dying in heaven
Over you, or over us?
Is there a way we’ll always remember
Or will each day fade with us?
Are they praying in heaven
Or has it sighed it’s last breath for us?
Can we keep this space?
We’re apart but we’re struggling on
It’s not in our nature
To keep at arm’s length when everything’s wrong
Can you remove your mask
When the task asks you to stay true
To all that’s before us?
Keep things clear, it’s not heaven in view
Are they crying in heaven
Over you, or over us?
Are you dying in heaven
Over you, or over us?
Is there a way we’ll always remember
Or will each day fade with us?
Are they praying in heaven
Or has it sighed it’s last breath for us?

Death of Silence
02:17
|
|||
Silence used to be my partner
Silence used to be my friend
Silence was the ever after
Silent to the bitter end
Silent were the words I studied
Absence it’s only friend
Silence was taken for granted
Never will I know it again
People observe a moment’s silence
Remembering the life of friends
I used to try to record the silence
Comparing all the different ends
Silence was my sparring partner
Silence, my only friend
Never again will I experience silence
I’m haunted by the death of that friend
The death of that friend

House of the Truth
04:15
|
|||
Would you be true for me
If there’s a path we can’t see?
Help me to plant this seed
Would you be true in deed?
True to you, true to lovers
True to sisters, true to brothers
True in aim, nothing covered
Come into the house, it’s the house of the truth
Come into the house, let me show you the proof
Come into the house, it’s the house of the truth
Show me how to live as a tree without roots
Come into the house, it’s the house of the truth
Come into the house, it’s the house of the truth
Would you be true for me
When I don’t see the wood for the trees?
Help me to plant this seed
Would you be true in deed?
True to you, true to lovers
True to sisters, true to brothers
True in aim, nothing covered
Come into the house, it’s the house of the truth
Come into the house, let me show you the proof
Come into the house, it’s the house of the truth
Show me how to live as a tree without roots
Come into the house, it’s the house of the truth
Come into the house, it’s the house of the truth

Violence
03:33
|
|||
Violets would arrive on Mondays
Roses hand-picked on weekends
Solitude could bring no wonders
No wonder it would start again
Hemlock was brought home on Tuesday
Wisteria had withered away
Partners joined arms in the kitchen
Hysteria was welcomed that way
No there’s no form of protection
There’s no escape from today
Outside the norm of acceptance
Inside the world’s turned away
Violence would go unanswered
Anger it’s only friend
Silence would soon come after
The noise had died down again

Strange Strings
02:57
|
|||
Strange strings in this heart of mine
Don’t know when to stop, when to redefine
Strange strings inside this heart
Don’t know when to be plucked, when to fall apart
And now I know there’s nowhere to go
Strange strings inside my heart
Don’t know when to begin, when an end’s a start
Strange strings in this heart of mine
Locked inside an anechoic chamber of time
And now I know there’s nowhere to go
And now I know there’s nowhere to go
And now I know there’s nowhere to go
And now I know there’s nowhere to go

I Look To Heaven
01:59
|
|||
I turned to Jesus ‘cos no one could save me
I turned to Jesus ‘cos no one on earth could save me
I turned to Jesus ‘cos no one could shape me
I turned to Jesus ‘cos no one on earth could shape me
I look to heaven when the earth forsakes me
I look to heaven when all on the earth forsakes me
I look to heaven when the earth forsakes me
I look to heaven when all on the earth forsakes me
Return to your dwellings and open directly
Return to your dwellings and open your eyes directly
My thoughts are troubled ‘cos no one respects me
My thoughts are troubled and violent ‘cos no one respects me
Heavenly Father can you still protect me?
Heavenly Father will you turn away and reject me?

Melting Away
04:07
|

Melting away
Melting away
Melting away
I was melting away
Just melting away
I was melting away
Just melting away
When you played
People made such joyous music
People’s voices rang out with peals of pleasure
For Jesus and his story
History has altered our affections in recent times
And now I wonder how this music was ever created without him
Or the notion of Him
And now I sing
I sing my own hymn
Melting away
Melting away
Melting away
Just melting away
I was melting away
Melting away
Melting away
When you played

Consequences
04:33
|
|||
I guess I’ll face the consequences
An open mind relates to spaces
I’ve never been so much in wonder
I’ve never seen my soul undone by love
Under love
I guess I’ll face the consequences
An open mind relates to faces
I’ve never been so much in wonder
An open heart just leaves you all undone
All undone
All undone
All undone
And over time I’ve made my choices
Fading out the different voices
Forming now an unknown fortress ‘round our love
And when I see the old resemblance
I often think of how I’m over
Living is just to regret when
All you have is what you have undone
Under love
I try to read the changing patterns
A smile may rise but so it flattens
I look to you as nothing happens
My fading heart it lies in all that matters
Lies undone
Lies undone
Lies undone

You've Changed Your Life
03:11
|
|||
You’ve changed your life and I’ve noticed
You’re in time but out of focus
What you are changes with time
And your fears are something like mine
I know there is no use in pretending
Things cause us harm as we wander
Through our lives to the border
Where we stare at moving dimensions
Hard to read the changes in tension
I know there is no truth to depend on
We meet together and our lives
Join in places we can’t disguise
I’ve heard of what will arrive
But it’s coming still will surprise

Silence used to be my partner
Silence used to be my friend
Silence was the ever after
Silent to the bitter end
Silent were the words I studied
Absence their only friend
Silence was taken for granted
Never will I know it again
People observe a moment’s silence
Remembering the lives of friends
I used try to observe this silence
Comparing all the nothing’s we left
Silence was my sparring partner
Silence, my onyl friend
Never again will I experience silence
The ringing bells tell me that it’s the end
The death of that friend

Return to your dwellings and open your eyes directly
My thoughts are troubled ‘cos no one respects me
My thoughts are troubled and violent ‘cos no one respects me
Heavenly Father can you still protect me?
Heavenly Father will you turn away and reject me?
