Piece of it
1 2
They come void of laughter And all is soaked in splendour
Pathetic pointless chatter Carved out of greed and slaughter
No truth in their voice We don’t need each other
No matter what they say Just another piece of it
4 5
No answer in dark matter And at the last your captured
Nor any great collider And all your light is matter
Look outside to guide us That falls apart
Home… to form another Piece of it
6 7
And when your soul is shattered We stood in dark lit doorways
They come with slings and arrows With jingles tapping all days
To tie up your mind from one dawn to the next
To form another piece of it Another piece of it
3
Suspicious eyes will ponder.
Why the wise will wander,
From a worn out track,
All buried black with lies.

Stars
When you walked out,
A child was left alone,
Just heading out for another pint of stout,
Can’t look back, Can’t see too much ahead now,
A heart-attack, a sudden death awaits you.
The werewolf’s back, just howling at the moon yeah,
The Stars stare back, It all ends too soon.
Don’t sit back to wait for what comes,
And tip that ash before your fingers burn.
Just want it back, a dream is just a dream though,
I can’t sit back, this waking is so real.
And at the last part of the game,
Take joy in past take sorrow in the passing.
F.C.

In the Deep
Relax, in the Darkness,
Huddle down here in the Deep,
And it’s here you will find us,
Drawing strength from that which it Breaths,
The Rats, in the basement,
Are ripping up all the words,
Ran out to the pavement,
Where the music fled from the birds.
Still lacking in their ambition,
To fly to another world,
The blue sky’s are calling,
But I’m drown in this sinking hurt.
F.C.

Burnin’ Time
‘Been singing through a six-string
‘Been singing through a straw
Raging seas that take me
Rolling for too long
Leaving on an old train,
Sailing Past the Dawn,
Scattered seas that take me,
Rolling for too long
Sinking past the wreckage,
Round seas that could have been,
Burning Time will melt you,
With smiling crooked teeth.
Yeah Burning Time will melt you,
With smiling crooked teeth,
Smiling crooked teeth.
F.C.

It could Be You

It could be you
Does my lover love me now?
Now I’ve got so much to tell,
Lying on the street,
No money, no food to eat,
Sunday’s are the worst,
No one will reach into their purse.
And now the rain falls,
It’s cold and I’ve got no walls,
To protect me,
I’m dying here but I am Free..
And I think of you
No one can love me now,
I’ve lost my feet somehow,
And how will this end,
Everything I got is drunk and spent..
And I think of you
F.C.

Resurrection
1
Rolling in the Ashes
Pretend it is all done
Write another mystery
Forget Another One
2
Too Tall the ground before me
To Steep I cannot Run
Every Step I Takes a Beating
Above a Dying Son
Chorus
Even Dirt Survives
Even Death Subsides
All that Breaths Will Die
We Exist, In Mind…..
Alone
3
Tomorrow paints a picture
That makes her want to cry
And in the quiet of the room
This Thought Refused to Die
4
The Prophet only Sleeping
A Knife held at his throat
And still he rests so easy
Fear cowers by his Hope
Chorus
5
Tired hands still moving
Moving without love
The Emptiness of Longing
Pulls tightly on the Rope
Chorus
Even Death Subsides
We exist in Mind
Alone..

Afar
I watch you from afar these days,
I can not alleviate,
Suffering it seems to stain,
I’m falling, falling down again.
And somewhere in the dark abyss,
I feel her close and start to kiss,
Death’s sweet dreaming ruby lips,
I’m falling, falling down again.
What world exists outside this cave,
My thoughts escape and runaway,
Poetry and stars and waves,
I’m falling, falling down again.
My heart is beating with a pain,
The fire dwindles in the rain,
And when a saviour finally came,
They took his soul nail by nail.
And somewhere in the dark abyss,
I feel her close and start to kiss,
Death’s sweet dreaming ruby lips,
I’m falling, falling down again.
I watch you from afar these days,
I can not alleviate,
Suffering it seems to stain,
I’m falling, falling down again.
F.C.
