1. DESCENSION

(Instrumental)


2. MONSTERS

Hide the window watching
Give hands that push the faces back
Shiver in the alleys
And dying in the cold
Little hands and little faces
What are you running from?
They're creeping on your satin sheets
And dancing in your nightmare

Watching at the window
The ledge which we provide
There's someone up above me
There's someone scratching softly
Little monsters in the chimney
All black and stained with soot
Come creeping to my bedroom
And lead me here to sleep

Dancing in your darkness
Dancing in your fear
Forgetting all your hidden monsters
Shedding all your tears


3. JACKAL-HEAD

Shifting inside patterns
The division multiples
Echoing the mystery
Mimicking the slide

Sound searching slowly
Below the flaming web
Moving with his eyes like fire
With his jackal-head
(With his jackal-head)

Give it all to birth
Give it all to life
Take it all for granted

Until we turn and die
She answers with her staff
Silence from her breath
Silhouettes of temples falling
Visions of certain death
Hand lift it from the pocket
The prophet falls to red
The sacrifice is offered
To his jackal-head

(To his jackal-head)

He who defiles the tomb of the pharaoh
Shall surely find swift death
He who defiles the womb of the
Pharaoh's queen
Shall surely find swift death


4. PROMETHEUS

Your windows closes
I am crucified
There shall be no more mockery
Of the gifts of the gods
No more comparisons
No more distortions

My heart is heavy as stone
I am Prometheus
All courses I am aware of from here
Oh you, frail of heart
I am not without pity
Take heed,
One final nail
Unnamed / undriven
This Nail Shall Represent Hope


5. CLERESTORY

Where the light burns a little brighter
Where the shadows dance on the walls
Where holy men hide their holy secrets
The sacredness of life is sold
Standing under gold and silver
I see the procession rise

Seated in his thrown of power
He proceeds to close his eyes

They try but the stone has broken
They try but the ceiling falls
They try but there's no momentum
They try but don't we all


6. WALK AWAY

In this fading image
We'll carve our destiny
Sometimes life is a cruel friend
Sometimes that's what we need

I'll hold my eyes when the
Light comes in
I'll sell my silence for a song
Now I won't die if you walk away
But I may not live

Now I watch as the rain comes down
To purify this pain
When mountains crumble and

Stars collide
I am what remains

There are lessons that sadness
Can only teach
There are things that we must learn
Now I won't die if you walk away
But I may not live


7. MISS FORTUNE RETURNS

(Instrumental)


8. MY WORLD

This room is screaming emptiness
Silence breaks the air
It leaves me lying on the floor
It leaves me dying there


Crawling through the trenches
You stand behind each door
Blood and sweat and muddy water
Up against the crashing shore

Take my hand, it's my world
Understand we'll make it real
Play with me in my world

All of this is my world

Black fire rising higher
It breaks across the line
There's hell to pay
And we'll pay all day
Because the fire's mine

The source is moving closer
I can taste the water now

I feel the heavens shaking
As angels come dropping down


9. FALLEN ANGEL

(Instrumental)


10. HANGED MAN

Call the card
Left to lay

Just a path
Against our future days
Lay direction
Read the face
Understand our crooked ways

Smile at this
Directed plain
Her eyes are cracking

In their wrinkled gaze
The light is dancing
On the tabletop
Restlessness that just won't stop

Now planted deeply
Suggesting fate
Eating sweet naivet
Was it mirror

Or window glass?
He subtle residue
Beyond your grasp

Hang the man
By his legs let us hang the man


11. PURGATORY

I see you watching
Looking back at me

These hellish eyes
They are not mine
I see the blood and saliva
Dripping from your tongue
Did the angel fall?
When was this monster born?

Why do I sit here
Wtaring at this face?

These wings of mine
They have burned away!
These wings of mine
They have burned


12. MARILYN, MY BITTERNESS

I don't understand how you've done
These things to me
I can not comprehend your lack
Of loyalty

For you i would have shaken down the
Heavens from the sky

But it seems my love was stronger than
This love of yours that died

Did you think it wouldn't hurt?
Did you think I wouldn't feel
When the world came falling down?
Or maybe you didn't think at all
And that's why I feel what I feel now
Did you think I wouldn't fall?

Did you think I wouldn't cry?
Did you think I wouldn't beg
You to stay?
One of these days you're gonna realize
Just what you've thrown away

Now I lie here in this empty bed
And all I think about is you
And I wonder if you miss me now

And if your bed is empty too

(bridge)

Marilyn my bitterness
I've fallen to a stranger nightmare
Marilyn, oh Marilyn
I cannot... find my way / break away

I'll absorb this agony

I'll carry all this pain
I'll wipe away this emptiness
I'll purify this stain
My wings will fold around me now
For once a one was two
And my memory is a monument
That will always stand for you

(bridge)


(chorus)

Now must I go away?


13. DAEDELUS FLIGHT... ICARUS FALLS

(Instrumental)


14. SATELLITE

Rolling back towards the continent

Instrumental forces die
Save excitement for line behavior
Signal shifting to enter flight

My back is burning
In the heat of the atmosphere
My engine roars
And the throttle cries
I'm now pulling on my navigation

Bringing me down out of the sky

I've seen the face
It seems they've always been here
Ten thousand years tonight
Copy Houston, request location
Signal over... Satellite

The madness creeping
With system failure

The image scatters
And the comlink fades
The red planet below me hungry
The red planet below me waits

(bridge)

(chorus)

Transmission Over.
