The Invisible Empire- Song Lyrics

In this sea of faces, these blurred strangers, I offer myself up, one last time.
The invisible empire, where I am emperor, this black, black host, for endless time.

It only takes one person to make you happy, so where is mine? There's soul out there searching who forgot about me, so why do I hear....

Small talk flowing, from greedy Irish pockets, and facades weep, they weep when they're alone.

It only takes one person to make you happy, so where is mine? There's a soul out there searching who forgot about me, so where do I belong?

The Big Blue- Song Lyrics

I will lay down my arms, when it matters.
There will be silence when the time comes.
Where there was calm there will be mourning,
oh did our lives go unrewarded.

Nobody comes when you need them the most, nobody comes when you need them the most.

In the unlikely chance you're watching, before my body breaks- I'm asking.
No resentment here, no honour, it's in the simple things I've faltered.

Nobody comes when you need them the most, nobody comes when you need them the most.

After all that's come and gone before, I'll leave a light on (I don't know who for), beating paths to unknown, unknown doors.

I don't think we're in Kansas anymore

For Larry King: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcMEL3_YsVI

If you teach them to hate- they will hate.
When you say it's ok- they'll discriminate.
But if love is a dirty word, then this is a dirty world, and when you're better than me, then I'm not free.

Oh the shots ring out, the shots ring out, and I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.

Already there- Song Lyrics (For Dad)

Sleep without fear.
The marching band is waiting, to take you away from this hell.
Stolen. Slowly. Not the way you wanted, but God makes a man of you again today.

So the four horsemen of the apocalypse can sing for their supper and their souls tonight, they won't get a thing, no they won't get a thing from you- you were already there.

Years disguise you in an unforgiving sentence and we know the voice but not the mind.
Tormentors play with your every move they're at you, and silence can take their place.

So the four horsemen of the apocalypse can sing for their supper and their souls tonight cos they won't get a thing, no they won't get a thing from you - you were already there.

The guesthouse- Song Lyrics

In the guesthouse, we played out our lives, in 24 little hours, we lived and died.
In the guesthouse, we transformed our minds, impossible hours to leave behind.

William, we were young, and you were younger still.
Years have passed me by but here I'm waiting for you to walk in, to make me young again and help me love again....

In the guesthouse, we transcended lust and heaven descended on every touch.
Let the memories fade, let shadows fall, but history will tell them, I loved you first of all.

William, we were young and you were younger still. Years have passed me by but here I'm waiting for you to walk in, what does that say about a man who's lost without, your face, your face, your face, and the Guesthouse.

When I close my eyes- Song Lyrics

When I close my eyes, for the last time, you'll be there, you'll hold me,
and everything I am, everything I wanted to be is here written in your face to me.

You were the one who got away.

Raise the dead- Song Lyrics

Oh Lord let there be something waiting for me.
If it's hope, if there's light, don't leave it in disguise.
Cos I know better now, but I'd do it all again.

Oh Lord, give me peace, somewhere I want to be,
In your arms, in my sleep, it's where I can be free.
Cos I know better now, but I'd do it all again.

Berlin Storm- Song Lyrics

The sky of Berlin lights, like 65 years ago
I guess we're all stuck in the past
In the roar of an angry night, it'll curl your blood when it's right outside,
well God help planes tonight, yeah God help planes tonight.

Water flows where streets had been and lightning tries to steal its way into darkened rooms that need to sleep but this Berlin sky, it wants to weep...

So I can only look on, I can only look on, at this Berlin storm.

Bavaria- Song Lyrics

There's a place, where pretty people congregate,
where hearts are broken and made, all with a southern phrase.
Well Nietzsche found the superman, so Germany keeps building them, in Bavaria.

I've seen the stars, in Bavaria, but they can't see me.
No, I don't think so. 'Cos it's hard to stand out in an outstanding crowd but I'll try,
yeah I'll try....

To be happy, not intimated, by the skin that he's created.
Jesus gave you fire eyes so you could tease and hypnotize in Bavaria.

I've seen the stars, in Bavaria, but they can't see me, no I don't think so.
