I. To Sail the Astral Planes…
II. The Sentinel
I was born of stardust
A piece of you, the galaxy resides in me
Life, full of tragedy
The majesty of universal fragility
Earth has come to its end
To find a home for humanity
III. Paroxysm
IV. Desolation
V. Cimmerian Cry
Give me a God to save me
From the veil that covers my eyes
The void of space seems cold and lifeless
As my body drifts toward the force
Gravity pulls me forward
The tear in our existential plane
The door between what is and what could be…
VI. Into the Veil
VII. Exile (“Paroxysm” Reprise)
VIII. Flashes of the Other Side
IX. Eclipsed Disposition (“To Sail the Astral Planes…” Reprise)
X. Breathe…

Road of Reoccurence
05:58
|

The sky is an open book
Where your thoughts can go
Let them wander far away
But keep your eyes on the road
Your destination is known
But you’re all on your own
Your heart must be consoled
Your journey remains unknown
The stars are the highway
A map laid out across the sky
Like a woman in the night
The moon entices your eye
The road is your savior
The sky is your friend
You are the ghost rider
You fight your battles alone
Keep the journey when the sun goes down
It only changes your perception
Let the stars be your new guide
They will take you far and wide
From the woodlands to the plains
No destination heals your pain
Ghosts are following close behind
But one by one they will disappear
Solitude on the road ahead
It’s the only direction you can go
Nothing left to stop you now
Not until your peace is found…
The sky is an empty canvas
Where your art can go
Let your thoughts paint the stroke
That will let your troubles go
The sun rose in the east
When your travels first began
But when they settled in the west
Your journey had yet to end
Still your riding down that road
Treading into the unknown
You said, “Bring me the horizon”
The only place you knew to go
Ghosts are following close behind
But one by one they will disappear
Solitude on the road ahead
It’s the only direction you can go
Nothing left to stop you now
Not until your peace is found…
The horizon never ends…
The road never ends…

Cityscape

Sitting at the desk in my hotel room
Looking out the window, skyline in view
Listening to the rain pour down the glass
Sip my drink and watch the city gloom
As the crowd’s applause grows thinner
Two hours of fame, just a fragment of life
A million lives, in New York City
Feel the same tired haze...
The city that never sleeps
Is darker than it should be
In the blurred view of the city
A million windows
A glimpse into another’s life
Just another piece of the cityscape
A painting for me…
Time slows down for those who wish to
pass it by
On nights like these, memories are my company
Three hours past midnight, sleep eludes
me too
Watching the rain wash away my facade
I see a silhouette in another window
Reminding me, I’m not alone
The sounds of the storm raging outside
Calming the nerves of life...
The city that never sleeps
Is darker than it should be
In the blurred view of the city
A million windows
A glimpse into another’s life
Just another piece of the cityscape
A painting for me…

Oh love,
For she holds dear
To the morning glories
Light glistens in her hair
She was there…
Oh love,
For she holds dear
To the morning glories
Light glistens in her hair
Lovers of the morning
She is the dawn
Lovers of the sun
He thinks they’re one
But now she’s gone
For they were one
Until the end…

Screaming Bullet
08:41
|

I watch in awe
As it speeds on toward me
The moment’s too late
But not yet gone
And all I can do
Is wait for it to come
The words that
Must be heard
I know what she’s
Going to do
But it’s too late now
For me to run away
There’s nothing left
To hide me from her
There’s no way I can
Escape my fate
Like a screaming bullet
I see the opportunity soaring by
Like a bolt of lightning
I watch the moment pass me by
Is it all over now?
Or is she reloading?
Has the moment got her going?
Is it all gone now?
Or is she beginning?
What she said still echoes and rings
Her guns are loaded and she’s ready to fire
Her sights are homed, and she’s aimed at me
She’s got a weapon that’s made to kill
The screaming bullet that’s out to get me
Too far off the ledge
My conscience fell away
Senses stripped of edge
Non-perceptual arrays
I see the gun
Inside her hand
The teeth and tongue
At her command
She’s got a smile
A weapon of her choice
There’s nothing I can do because
She’s got me under too
My blood is drained of color
As she sets her sights on me
She’s got the power to
Put another clip in me
Like a knife to a gunfight
I cannot run and I can’t hide
Like a ship that’s run ashore
I cannot move, I’m frozen in sight
Dreaming…
Preparing me mentally
Dreaming…
The only escape left for me
Dreaming…
Subconscious ecstasy
My psyche…
The barrier that protects me
Is it all over now?
Or is she reloading?
Has the moment got her going?
Is it all gone now?
Or is she beginning?
What she said still echoes and rings
Her guns are loaded and she’s ready to fire
Her sights are homed, and she’s aimed at me
She’s got a weapon that’s made to kill
The screaming bullet that’s out to get me
Dreaming…
Preparing me mentally
Dreaming…
The only escape left for me
Dreaming…
Subconscious ecstasy
My psyche…
The barrier that protects me
The screaming bullet that’s out to get me…

Red Skies
08:26

When we say goodbye
Please don’t cry
When I walk on by
Please don’t sigh
We had a good time
Please don’t lie
Please don’t spy
Under the dim red skies
So far away
We’ve gone out of touch
It’s been so long
You’re out of my mind
You were gone… away
But not for too long
Like memories lost in the dust…
Run away to the edge of my soul
Cast away to the winds of change
The piece of me that’s long since gone
To run away from the hands of fate
To forget the past for comfort’s sake
Freedom lies on the road ahead
But where to go, is left unsaid
Is left unsaid…
Do you see how it’s suppose to be?
Do you recognize me?
Can you see what it could be?
The path you are ignoring
Do you see what you’re doing?
Trying to avoid the sun from rising
Can you see your vision growing?
Dream don’t pass me by…
You think you’re doing right
But now you’re on the other side
But now you became
The thing you once denied
You think you’re doing right
But now you’re crying inside
But now you’re standing on the bridge
Attempting suicide
Things will get better
When the stars align
But for now you better
Wait until the fire dies
There’s more to life
Than meets the eye
So you better live
While you still have time
Step back from that rocky ledge
Think of what you’ll leave behind
Step back from your sudden end
Look at me and take my hand…
To see the world from another’s eyes
When the sun breaks through these cloudy
skies
The light streams down for only you and I
Along these faded skies
The faded skies…
Under the dim red skies…
