Silence (Music by Delirium)
Give me release
Witness me
I am outside
Give me peace
Heaven holds a sense of wonder And I wanted to
believe that I'd get caught up
When the rage in me subsides
Passion chokes the flower
until she cries no more
Possesing all the beauty
hungry still for more
Heaven holds a sense of wonder And I wanted to
believe that I'd get caught up
When the rage in me subsides
In this white wave I am sinking in this silence
In this white wave...in this silence...I believe
I can't help longing
comfort me
I can't hold it all in"
if you won't let me
Heaven holds a sense of wonder And I wanted to
believe that I'd get caught up
When the rage in me subsides
In this white wave I am sinking in this silence
In this white wave...in this silence...I believe
I have seen you...in this white wave you are silent
you are breathing in this white wave...I am free
Possession
Listen as the wind blows
from across the great divide
voices trapped in yearning
memories trapped in time
the night is my companion
and solitude my guide
would I spend forever here
and not be satisfied
and I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after I'd
wipe away the tears
just close your eyes dear
Through this world I've stumbled
so many times betrayed
trying to find an honest word to find
the truth enslaved
oh you speak to me in riddles and
you speak to me in rhymes
my body aches to breathe your breath
you words keep me alive
And I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after I'd
wipe away the tears
just close your eyes dear
Into this night I wander
it's morning that I dread
another day of knowing of
the path I fear to tread
oh into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride
'cause nothing stands between us here
and I won't be denied
And I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I'd
wipe away the tears
just close your eyes...
Black (X-FILES Soundtrack)
As the walls are closing in
And the colors fade to black
And my eyes are falling fast and deep into me
And I follow the tracks that lead me down
And I never follow what's right
And they wonder sometimes when they see all the
Sadness and pain the truth begins to light
CHORUS
"Cause I can't see no reason
What is blind cannot see
"Cause I want what is pleasin'
All I take should be free
What I rob from the in nocent ones
What I'd steal from the womb
If I cried me a river of all my confessions
Would I drown in my shallow regret
As the walls are closing in
And the colors fade to black
And the night is falling fast and deep into the sea
And in the darkness all that I can see
The frightened and the weak
Are forced to cling to mistakes they know nothing of
At mercy are the meek
CHORUS
Drawn To The Rhythm
When we wore a heart of stone we wandered to the sea
Hoping to find some comfort there yearning to be free
And we were mesmerized by the hill of the night
And the smells that filled the air
And we layed us down on sandy ground it was cold but we didn't care
CHORUS
And we were drawn to the rhythm
Drawn to the rhythm of the sea
And we were drawn to the rhythm
Drawn to the rhythm of the sea
We fell asleep and began to dream when something broke the night
Memories stirred inside of us the struggle and the fight
And we could feel the heat of a thousand voices
Telling us which way to go
And cried out is there no escape from words that plague us so
CHORUS
In the still and silent dawn another day is born
Washed up by the tireless waves the body bent and torn
When you wake in the face of the blinding sun
And you search only to find
That heaven is a stranger place than what you've left behind
CHORUS
I Will Remember You
(Chorus)
I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
I'm so tired
But I can't sleep
Standing on the edge
of something much too deep
Funny how I feel so much
But cannot say a word
We are screaming inside
Oh...but we can't be heard
Chorus
So afraid to love you
More afraid to lose
Clinging to a past
that doesn't let me choose
But once there was a darkness
A deep and endless night
Gave me everything you had
Oh...you gave me light
Chorus
Chorus
Building A Mystery
You come out at night
That's when the energy comes
And the dark side's light
And the vampires roam
You strut your rasta wear
And your suicide poem
And a cross from a faith that died
Before Jesus came
You're building a mystery
You live in a church
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
And you won't give up the search
For the ghosts in the halls
You wear sandals in the snow
And a smile that won't wash away
Can you look out the window
Without your shadow getting in the way?
You're so beautiful
With an edge and charm
but so careful
When I'm in your arms
Cause you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
You woke up screaming aloud
A prayer from your secret god
You feed off our fears
And hold back your tears, oh
Give us a tantrum
And a know it all grin
Just when we need one
When the evening's thin
You're a beautiful
A beautiful fucked up man
You're setting up your
Razor wire shrine
Cause you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
Ooh you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
You're building a mystery
I Love You
I have a smile stretched from ear to ear
I see you walking down the road
We meet at the lights, I stare for a while
The world around us disappears
It's just you and me on my island of hope
A breath between us could be miles
Let me surround you, a sea to your shore
Let me be the calm you seek
But everytime I'm close to you
There's too much I can't say
And you just walk away
And I forgot to tell you
I love you
And night's too long
And cold here
Without you
I grieve in my condition
For I cannot find the words to say
I need you so
And everytime I'm close to you
There's too much I can't say
And you just walk away
And I forgot to tell you
I love you
And night's too long
And cold here
Without you
I grieve in my condition
For I cannot find the words to say
I need you so
Sweet Surrender
It doesn't mean much
It doesn't mean anything at all
The life I've left behind me
Is a cold room
I've crossed the last line
From where I can't return
Where every step I took in faith betrayed me
And led me from my home
And sweet surrender
Is all I have to give
You take me in
No questions asked
You strip away the ugliness
That surrounds me
Are you an angel?
Am I already that gone?
I only hope that I won't disappoint you
When I'm down here on my knees
Sweet surrender
Is all I have to give
Sweet surrender
Is all I have to give
And I don't understand
How the touch of your hand
I would be the first to fall
I miss the little things
Oh, I miss everything
It doesn't mean much
It doesn't mean anything at all
The life I left behind me
Is a cold room
Sweet surrender
Is all I have to give
Sweet surrender
Is all I have to give
Adia
Adia I do believe I've failed you
Adia I know I've let you down
Don't you know I tried so hard
To love you in my way?
It's easy....let it go...
Adia, I'm empty since you left me
I try to find a way to carry on
I search myself and everyone
To see where we went wrong
There's no one left to finger
There's no one left to blame
There's no one left to talk to, honey
And there ain't no one to buy our innocence
'Cause we are born innocent
Believe me Adia
We are still innocent
It's easy, we all falter
Does it matter?
Adia, I tought that we could make it
I know I can't change the way you feel
I leave you with your misery
A friend who won't betray
I'll pull you from your tower
I'll take away your pain
Show you all the beauty you possess
If only you'd let yourself believe
That we are born innocent
Believe me Adia
We are still innocent
It's easy, we all falter
Does it matter?
'Cause we are born innocent
Believe me Adia
We are still innocent
It's easy, we all falter
Does it matter?
Believe me Adia
We are still innocent
'Cause we are born innocent
Believe me Adia
We are still innocent
It's easy, we all falter
Does it matter?
Do What You Have To Do
What ravages of spirit conjured this temptous rage
Created you a monster broken by the rules of love?
And fate has led you through it
You do what you have to do
And fate has led you through it
You do what you have to do
And I have the sense to recognize
That I don't know how to let you go
Every moment marked with apparitions of your soul
I'm ever swiftly moving, trying to escape this desire
The yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
The yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
But I have the sense to recognize
That I don't know how to let you go
I don't know how to let you go
A glowing ember, burning hot and burning slow
Deep within I'm shaken by the violence of existing for only you
I know I can't be with you
I do what I have to do
I know I can't be with you
I do what I have to do
And I have the sense to recognize
That I don't know how to let you go
I don't know how to let you go
Witness
Make me a witness
Take me out
Out of darkness
Out of doubt
I won't weigh you down with good intention
Won't make fire out of clay
Or other inventions
Will we burn in heaven
Like we do down here?
Will the change come while we're waiting?
Everyone is waiting.....
And when we're done soul searching
And we carried the weight and died for the cause
Is misery made beautiful right before our eyes?
Will mercy be revealed, or blind us where we stand?
Will we burn in heaven
Like we do down here?
Will a change come while we're waiting?
Everyone is waiting.....
Will we burn in heaven
Like we do down here?
Will a change come while we're waiting?
Everyone is waiting.....
Angel (City Of Angels Soundtrack)
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it OK
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction or a beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonigh
In the arms of the Angel far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you feel
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here
So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escape one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees
In the arms of the Angel far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you feel
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here
In the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here
Black And White
Unravel me a distant cord
On the outside is forgotten
A constant need to get along
And the animal awakens
And all I feel
Is black and white
The road is long, the memory slides
To the whole of my undoing
Put aside, I put away
I push it back to get through
Each day
And all I feel
Is black and white
And I'm wound up
Small and tight
And I don't know
Who I am
Everybody loves you when you're easy
Everybody hates when you're a bore
Everyone's waiting for your entrance
So don't disappoint them
Unravel me untie this cord
The very center of our union
Is caving in, I can't endure
I am the archive of our failure
And all I feel
Is black and white
And I'm wound up
Small and tight
And I don't know
Who I am
Everybody loves you when you're easy
Everybody hates when you're a bore
Everyone's waiting for your entrance
So don't disappoint them
Everybody loves you when you're easy
So don't disappoint them
Don't disappoint them
Don't disappoint them
Full Of Grace
The winter here's cold and bitter
It's chilled us to the bone
We haven't seen the sun for weeks
Too long, to far from home
I feel just like I'm sinking
And I claw for solid ground
I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
Oh darkness, I feel like letting go
If all of the strength, and all of the courage come and lift me from this
place
I know I can love you much better than this
Full of grace, full of grace
"It's better this way" I said
Having seen theis place before
Where everything we say and do
Hurts us all the more
It's just that we stay too long
In the same old sickly skin
I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
Oh darkness, I feel like letting go
If all of the strength, and all of the courage come and lift me from this
place
I know I can love you much better than this
Full of grace, full of grace
I know I can love you much better than this
"It's better this way...."
