Lyrics
CPR
I can feel it coursing through my veins
Burns like fire, it bleeds with rage
When its cut, we hurt as one
Hear the whisper become a scream
See the teardrop become a sea
That will wash, all these cities clean
The heart of darkness has found its beat
You call for mercy when you’re on your knees
The will is stronger, but the flesh is weak
When it’s lost, you will believe
The heart of darkness has found its beat
Numbed into silence, the fear the shame and then the tears start
Through different shades of grey and colour, we’ve always known we’ll end up here on the better side
Is this a real example of what we talked of?
Beautiful but we got along with a fake smile
The radar’s off now
The heart of darkness has found its beat
Last Dawn
When the last dawn breaks, what will you hope for?
As the waters rise and swell, the bough will break
The storm will rage for a thousand days of thunder
The sun wont rise as we watch our cities burn
Afraid, it’s always changing
As I can’t live to, hold onto nothing
When I see you fall with nothing to hold on for
Eclipse the eye, for the light has gone
And I know you’re strong, for our day is done
To live and fight for, all that’s good and right
When the sirens wail, will you taste the danger?
For the chaos reigns, as sparks they turn to flame
In this gilded cage you’ll never know the summer
At the end of days the hunter becomes the prey
When I see you fall with nothing to hold on for
Eclipse the eye, for the light has gone
I hear the sound it makes for all that we build will break
The cell decays, a design to feel the pain
Bay of Pigs
Hummingbird
Cracked and broken the glory fades
Her empire starts to fall
Decayed and stale in this neon grave
Her ghost will echo the call
The seven miles of splendour
Will pale against the breakers
Her time would come in the summer
The glam, the thrill and the fame
Now serving time in the winter rain
And I won your hummingbird
The church was built and the pilgrims came
To pray for the pennies to fall
They made for the skies as the well ran dry
The waves then claimed back her throne
She waits there
But nothing lasts forever
It slipped right through her hands
Kingdoms built of stone, castles made of sand
She's laid bare
Summoned by another
She's takes me by the hand
To kingdoms built of stone, castles made of sand
Crosshairs
Your hold will fail
So ring out the changes
I keep the gun sight set straight always at your heart
Sharpen the razor
Guided by lasers
I set a course to crash and burn us into the sun
For you I'd count to ten
and you’d better run
You gotta move it faster now
To get this baby off the ground
No slight of hand or game of chance
We passed the point of no return
My aim is true in all I do
I'll take you higher, I'll build it stronger for you now
I tipped the reaper
Told him to keep her
I walked in line in step to the beat of the drum
It overtakes me
You'll never break free
as I hold the keys to the locks to the doors of your house
Until the last man's standing
The wheels will keep turning
The machine will keep us held in its thrall
You slayed the lives of others
Killed your sisters and your brothers
Built a palace from their teeth and their bones
All you have is now - for their day will come
Take your bow - and see how they run
In the desert sands
Stands a broken man
All alone he plans one last stand
All your windows needed locking
For when the piggies come a knocking
They're gonna blow this wolf to kingdom come
Watch the cities turn to rubble
Pins are poised to burst your bubble
Your name was written in the blood and the dirt
You're in too deep and you can't get out
Get off your knees, it's in motion now
It leaves a bittersweet taste but its how I feel
The rise was worth the fall my friend
I surrender to your hope all my apathy
I will stay with you until the end
Cut the bonds and set them running
Build the pyres and leave them burning
Breach the walls and the city will fall
Ask no question hear no answer
When the monster meet it's maker
He will say he did it all for love
Closer
Slipstream
In the bright white glare of its light
Her flames will dance for you
You felt alive to the needle's spike
But there's a payment due
Oh you laid it on the line
You gave it all this time
So feel the warmth of the setting sun
For the nights are cold and long
Raise a glass for the wasted youth
The lost and the fallen ones
Low your voice upon the wire
Call there's no one on the line
Deceive yourself that there's nothing else
Then there's nowhere left to run
Become a slave to the rush and the burn
See what you've become
I flow through your slipstream
Move to the same beat
Lead me through the wake of your flight
All the colours of your dreams
Swirl at the same speed
Tell me all your truth and your lies
We leave at its first light
We dance for the love of this life
So you want to be free
Said you wanted to rescue me
Give me something that's worth living for
I can tell by the look in your eyes that it's over
A new dawn rises
Closer, its just the end of the line
It's broken, we knew all the signs
It's spoken, in whispers and cries
Take all you can carry and leave the rest behind
When you're standing at the edge you may find
The fall will always follow the climb
What is lost can never be found
Always been told that at the end of the road she will wait for me
It draws behind until there's nowhere to hide, it will come to be
Need to change the course I've made
Down a one way road now it's too late
A cold embrace, a kiss that suffocates that will set you free
I can't live for the hope that you'll find
A reason to stay or divide
Colder, the distance grows with time
