I hear the rumours and I try to hide away
I see the future and I try to cause delay
And in the wreckage of this world we laid to waste
I am a refugee from some elusive fate
Save father, save mother, save all we can from this pain
Save children, save families, save all we can from this fate
And now the tide returns to wash away our sins
Ten billion people all demanding space for them
And if I conjured up a world to fit them in
The endless sea of strangers needing space to live
Save father, save mother, save all we can from this pain
Save children, save families, save all we can from this fate
Save love, save me

Dance The Dark Away
03:35

The hardy sons of rock'n'roll
Are carving up the concert bowl
While bitter little Valentines
Stand in unemployment lines
Through Channel 4 and ITV
Satellites and BBC
We peek inside the Pleasure Dome
Sitting comfortably at home
So come on, all you saints and witches
Angels and you sons of bitches
Make a circle, scratch the line
All join hands and dance the dark away
It's an evil wind that blows no good
And we're holding out for Robin Hood
There's no such thing as genocide
And we're on a magic carpet ride
And up above the world so high
The villains wave us all goodbye
They laugh until they're out of breath
Laughing while we choke to death
So come on, all you saints and witches
Angels and you sons of bitches
Make a circle, scratch the line
All join hands and dance the dark away

Philosophy

When you've been around like me, he said
I know I'm right, I know I'm right
Cause I've developed this philosophy
Of Space and Time
And it's all mine
And I've learned - oh yes I've learned
I never had to seek the help of anyone.
I never had to take away a minute of their time
And only when I made my own theosophy
Maybe there'll be room for God and me
My experience has served me well
Completely sane - I laugh at pain
No-one ever gained a hold on me
I treat it all with such disdain
And I know, oh yes I know
I never had to seek the help of anyone.
I never had to take away a minute of their time
And only when I made my own theosophy
Well maybe there'll be room for God and me
And all the world's my oyster and everything I want to be
And everything I need to do ultimately down to me
And I believe in something - everybody must believe
Even when it's nothing and that's the thing that you believe
And all I've learned - it's better when you do it well
So take good care of all the people that you love

Moving The Mountain

Moving the mountain
No task for a man
Men dressed as gods
By their own hands
Sometimes the truth hurts
So much that we weep
Back to the start
On your own feet
Keep pushing forward
Through lightning and storm
Wind cutting through you
Like steel to the bone
Keep pushing forward
Through lightning and storm
We'll keep on
Moving the mountain
If we can

This Is The Life
06:54

Here we are then we're given what we've got
In the best of all the possible of worlds
And knowing everything is absolutely for the best
Doesn't help
Life is a little bit harder, wilder
It isn't much, it's all we've got
Everyday is a little bit harder, madder
This is your lot
This is the life
There we are then, we're half way down the road
Enough to grind the noble to despair
Older never wiser but I just can't let it weigh
Not today
Life is a little bit harder, wilder
It isn't much, it's all I've got
Everyday is a little bit harder, madder
That's your lot
This is the life

The Cephalons Of Alcor

i: The Dreamers
In corridors of polished steel
Whisper of arcane machinery
And in the quiet and the cold
Unseen the travellers unknown
In their rage they had not world enough or time
They cast their lot upon a leap into the dark
Sold to the future in the still of frozen death
They realise, astounded
That they
Dream
ii: To Live Again
Strange, is it not?
That of the myriads who before us
Pass'd the Door of Darkness through,
Not one returns to tell us of The Road
Which, to discover, we must travel too
(Omar Khayam)
Exhausted by your past
But scared of what's to come
We can show a future you'll desire
A time of miracles
A multitude of choice
When Science guarantees
The de-animated will revive
Fear - Pain - Alone - Dead
FEAR
Now that you have seen all we can provide
Saw the story of a brand new life
Leaving all your woes, rebirth in a new world
Cleansed of all your suffering to live again
iii: Oblivion Therapy
Stay here with me
If you want it to be
The way it looks on TV
Caring and kind, with a beautiful view
Oblivion therapy
We come to the end of a perfect disease
It's wiping my thoughts
And I can't decide if they're eager to please
Or simply distraught
I can't say, I don't know where we are anymore
I don't know, I can't say who you are anymore
The door is ajar, and they're waiting for me
Now it's the time for goodbyes
Loving and loss, the same in the end
Merely the agents of time
Maybe we'll find as the sleep closes in
And darkness divides
Maybe that day I'll wait for my friends
We'll meet one more time
iv: Sad Echo
The shadow falls in silent sleep
Divided now, the watchers weep
Released from time
The hidden journey can begin
Slowly the traveller finds
The hidden rooms within
Corridors revealed at once
Familiar and strange
Lucid dreams of memories just out of reach
All our time has gone
And so the days flow on and on
Childhood and the end become as one
Pieces of the past appear like figures in the mist
Faces half remembered and the scent of secret kiss
Colour drained to grey, sad echo of a life
Clutching at the fear inside you can't believe that
All our time has gone
v: Arecobo Calling
We were moving for generations before we came to you
Our origin just a legend our fathers' fathers knew
Then we heard your call
And we came to find
Seeking brotherhood
Against the night
Here we are
A bridge across the void
From world to world
Can you hear our call?
Hear our call!
vi: Let Them Sleep
In orbit round this empty world
Ancient desolation
You promised us hope
We searched for you there
And found only this sad mausoleum
Impossible act of faith
To win in a game with Death
But we have tried so many ways and know
There can never be a day to live again
So now our journey must go on
We'll follow where your race has gone
We leave you to your dreams
You have eternity
Dreamers, farewell
Let them sleep
