THE SAVIOUR

They will steal my crown
And ruin my kingdom
Force me to break down
Take my pride
Deprive me of grace
Plunder my homeland
Leave me down on the ground
They will raid my blood
And abduct my brothers
Pilfer my treasures
Waste my fields
That's what I expect
That's what I deserve
For redeeming all mournful souls
With my splendour
I'll shine until I fall, my father
I'll shine until I fall
I'll shine until I fall, my father
I'll shine until I fall
And there's nothing in the world
There's nothing in the world to save my life

THE SPACE THAT YOU'RE IN

You were so light when we met
Now you're as grave as my deathbed
And though you speak like a fiend
You just sing like an angel


I'm not longing to hold
I'm not craving to touch you
I'm just blissful to be
In the same space that you're in


I don't know why my grace is leaving
I don't know what your face is meaning
Often enough I bore your aching
Hoping to learn that you were faking
I don't know why my grace is leaving
I don't know what your face is meaning
Often enough you bore my sorrow
Hoping to catch a tear to borrow


So I'll be heading for your rocks
And trying to melt down the hardness of your soul, of
your soul


I was so light when we met
Now I'm as grave as your deathbed
And I will never be
In the same space that you're in

THIS HOUSE CALLED LOVE

We moved into this house called love
Right at the crack of dawn
And cheered to praise the Lord above
"Oh, Father, we're reborn"


"This is our home and here's my plan"
She said to me outright
"Let's never leave this house again"
And locked all doors and lights


But suddenly I felt the need
To run and leave our space
It had become a cage indeed
There was no beauty's trace


But when she said "You're free to go"
I felt I want to stay
I saw again our house's glow
And doubts they slipped away


And then one day this house called love
Right at the crack of gloom
It was decayed and from above
The snow fell on our ruin

THIS POISON CALLED LOVE (HOME IN A TOWN THAT HAS SUNK)

Love me again
Please love me again
The ending of our riot
The ending of our pain


Blind me again
Oh, blind me again
The outset of our peace
The outset of our cure


Be the tavern they shut down
Be the seashore that I can't reach
Be the trail I can't find in the darkness
Be my home in a town that has sunk


You will never allay my insatiable thirst
My insatiable hunger
For the poison they call love
This poison called love

TODAY

And today
I will kill myself
And today
My heart will stop running
And today
I will leave the world behind me
And today
I will lose you forever

And today, yeah
Oh today, yeah
Oh, today the world is mine

Mother hold me
Hold me tight

I will leave you

VELVET SON

I came by to jingle in your armoury
As you fought all the sounds in me
At the time of escapades up in the mountains
The sound of the bells embraced me

I came by to tinkle in your garden
As you taught all the kids to shoot
At the time of escapades down in the valley
You fired a velvet gun

My storehouse eyes, my Arabian bells
My warehouse legs, my Arabian chimes
Should I leave them by your gun?
Or, long-faced Lady, should I run?

Lady, should I run?

I came by to close your open window
And to dive in your open sea
At the time of escapades out in the desert
You cradled our velvet son

WHITE

I can't cry when it hurts me so
There's no light in my eyes
I can't leave when you take those pictures
Of me with my pale and sad face

Oh when will the light fill my eyes
Will your hands touch my cheek
And everything is white?

WILTED FLOWER

A Magic bullet against your drought
Were sumptuous rainfalls
Dreary whispering of how you love
Sun-baked objects
It's a little strange how you walk
And I still hear your withered talk
I am blooming
I am blooming
Without you
You've lost your tears in a vale of dust
You're a wilted flower
How could I now miss your face
As I'm watered in a shower?
It's a little strange how you walk
And I still hear your withered talking

WIND DOWN

Open up your eyes and you will see
Open up your eyes and you will see
That nothing's lost, my friend
That this is not the end


You're foolish and you're swirled as you've grown old
You need this little girl and she needs gold
But running yourself down
Will not return your crown


So come and wind down, wind down
Come and wind down, wind down


And please stop asking "Why the hell can't I be glad?"
Please stop asking why your nights are cold and sad
Why they almost make you mad


Open up your eyes and you will see
Open up your eyes and you will see
That by the next daybreak
You won't recall your ache

YEAH EVENTUALLY SHE GOES

He listens, understanding every word
And appears just like two weeks away
Good morning, you're my last pure hope
Take this waiter as my single note
And then
They went along the pale of days
And slept in sweet, white hearing lamps
To overcome their doubt
To feel like careful pills
And then
Yeah, eventually she goes
My life is in a hose
And all that I could say
Would sound so fucking grey
Eventually she goes
My life is in a hose
And all that I could say
Would sound so fucking grey
