1. _ Prince Of Darkness
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark
And i do not feel the romance i do not catch the spark
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark
And i do not feel the romance i do not catch the spark
I don't know when i noticed life was life at my expense
The words of my heart lined up like prisoners on a fence
The dreams came in like needy children tugging at my sleeve
I said i have no way of feeding you, so leave
But there was a time i asked my father for a dollar
And he gave it a ten dollar raise
And when i needed my mother and i called her
She stayed with me for days
Now someone's on the telephone, desperate in his pain
Someone's on the bathroom floor doing her cocaine
Someone's got his finger on the button in some room
No one can convince me we aren't gluttons for our doom
But i tried to make this place my place
I asked for providence to smile upon me with his sweet face
Yeah but i'll tell you
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark
And i do not feel the romance i do not catch the spark
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark
(by grace, my sight grows stronger)
And i do not feel the romance i will not be
(and i will not be a pawn for the prince of darkness any longer)
Maybe there's no haven in this world for tender age
My heart beat like the wings of wild birds in a cage
My greatest hope my greatest cause to grieve
And my heart flew from its cage and it bled upon my sleeve
Oh the cries of passion were like wounds that needed healing
I couldn't hear them for the thunder
I was half the naked distance between hell and heavens ceiling
And he almost pulled me under
Now someone's on the telephone, desperate in his pain
Someone's on the bathroom floor doing her cocaine
Someone's got his finger on the button in some room
No one can convince me we aren't gluttons for our doom
But i tried to make this place my place
I asked for providence to smile upon me with his sweet face
But i'll tell you
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark
And i do not feel the romance i do not catch the spark
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark
(by grace, my sight grows stronger)
And i do not feel the romance i do not catch the spark
(grows stronger)
By grace
(my place is of the sun)
My sight
(and this place is of the dark)
Is growing stronger
(i do not feel the romance)
I will not be a pawn
(i will not be)
For the prince of darkness any longer

2. _ Land Of Canaan
You can go to the east to find your
Your inner hemisphere
You say we're under the same sky babe
Your bound to realize honey it's not that clear
I'm not your promised land oh no
I'm not your promised one
I'm not the land of canaan sweetheart
Waiting for you under the sun
I'm lonely tonight
I'm missing you now
I'm wanting your love
And you're giving it out
I'm lonely tonight
I'm lonely tonight
I'm lonely tonight
Well, the meanings changed
For what it's worth
It's just a senseless game
Well i should think of love
But it's fear every time i hear
Honey your heartbeat strain
It's not the fallen man
It's not the call of time
It's just the london skyline sweetheart
Telling me you're not mine
I'm lonely tonight
I'm missing you now
I'm wanting your love
And you're giving it out
I'm lonely tonight
I'm lonely tonight
I'm lonely tonight
My blood is running dry
My skin is, my skin is growing thin
For every time you find yourself
You loose a little bit of me honey from within
It's just a raging cycle
Why can't we bring it all to the end of the line
From inside this existence, sweetheart
Time is not on my side
I'm lonely tonight
I'm missing you now
I'm wanting your love
And you're giving it out
I'm lonely tonight
I'm lonely tonight
I'm lonely tonight
I'm not your promised land
(i'm lonely tonight)
I'm not your promised one
(honey i'm trying to tell you that i'm lonely tonight)
I'm not your promised land
I'm not your promised one
I'm not the land of canaan
(i'm lonely tonight)
I'm not your land of canaan
(i'm lonely tonight)
I'm not the land of canaan sweetheart
Waiting for you under the sun
I'm lonely tonight

3. _ Love's Recovery
During the time of which i speak
It was hard to turn the other cheek
To the blows of insecurity
Feeding the cancer of my intellect
The blood of love soon neglected
Lay dying in the strength of its impurity
Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together
They've all gone and left each other
In search of fairer weather
And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast
To the slim chance of love's recovery
There i am in younger days, star gazing
Painting picture perfect maps
Of how my life and love would be
Not counting the unmarked paths of misdirection
My compass, faith in love's perfection
I missed ten million miles of road i should have seen
Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together
Left each other one by one on the road to fairer weather
And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast
To the slim chance of love's recovery
Rain soaked and voice choked
Like silent screaming in a dream
I search for our absolute distinction
Not content to bow and bend
To the whims of culture that swoop like vultures
Eating us away, eating us away
Eating us away to our extinction
Oh how i wish i were a trinity
So if i lost a part of me
I'd still have two of the same to live
But nobody gets a lifetime rehearsal
As specks of dust we're universal
To let this love survive
Would be the greatest gift that we could give
Tell all the friends who think they're so together
That these are ghosts and mirages
All these thoughts of fairer weather
Though it's storming out i feel safe within the arms
Of love's discovery

4. _ History Of Us
I went all the way to paris to forget your face
Captured in stained glass, young lives long since passed
Statues of lovers every place
I went all across the continent to relieve this restless love
I walked through the ruins, icons of glory
Smashed by the bombs from above
So we must love while these moments are still called today
Take part in the pain of this passion play
Stretching our youth as we must, until we are ashes to dust
Until time makes history of us
Jeu de paume's full of faces knowing peace, knowing strife
Leisure and toil, still it's canvas and oil
There's just no medium for life
In the midst of the rubble i felt a sense of rebirth
In a dusty cathedral the living god called
And i prayed for my life here on earth
So we must love while these moments are still called today
Take part in the pain of this passion play
Stretching our youth as we must, until we are ashes to dust
Until time makes history of us
There are mountains in switzerland, brilliant cold as they stand
From my hotel room, watching the half-moon
Bleeding its light like a lamb
And the town is illumined, its tiny figures are fast asleep
And it dawns on me the time is upon me
To return to the flock i must keep
So we must love while these moments are still called today
Take part in the pain of this passion play
Stretching our youth as we must, until we are ashes to dust
Until time makes history of us

5. _ Center Stage
Laughing in a crown of jewels
Numbness from a scepters wound
Toss and turn, i spin and learn
"catch yourself before you burn"
A joker's dance before the king
Jangling beads, and silver rings
Close your eyes and bare the sound
Jumping up - falling down
Falling, falling, falling, falling down
Look yourself in the eye before you drown
Royal rebels discover you
Trust? you turn there is no truth
And circle, circle, why are you scared
Why a smile instead of tears
I'm gulping smoke i fade away
Figures floating down to lay
I meet the joker and the thief
The king and queen but - no relief
"the king is in the counting house,
(falling, falling, falling, falling down)
Counting all his money
(look yourself in the eye before you drown)
The queen is in her parlor
(falling, falling, falling, falling down)
Eating bread and honey
(look yourself in the eye before you drown)
I cross myself before i die
And the leaping man, he asks me, "why?"
"well your rhythm is off" i reply
"now you must dance the dance
That you imply!"
Your actions will follow you full circle round
Your actions will follow you full circle round
Your actions will follow you full circle round
Your actions will follow you full circle round
Your actions will follow you full circle round
Your actions will follow you full circle round
Your actions will follow you full circle round
Your actions will follow you full circle round
"the higher the leap," i said
"the harder the ground!"

6. _ Blood And Fire
I have spent nights with matches and knives
Leaning over ledges only two flights up
Cutting my heart, burning my soul
Nothing left to hold
Nothing left but blood and fire
You have spent nights thinking of me
Missing my arms but you needed to leave
Leaving my cuts, leaving my burns
Hoping i'd learn
But blood and fire
Are too much for these restless arms to hold
And my nights of desire they're calling me
Back to your fold
And i am calling you, calling you
From 10,000 miles away
Won't you whet my fire with your love
Babe
I am looking for someone who can take as much as i give
And give back as much as i need
You know and they still have the will to live ah no
Cause i am intense, i am in need
I am in pain, i am in love
And i feel forsaken you know
Like the things i gave away
And blood and fire
Are too much for these restless arms to hold
And my nights of desire they're calling me
Back to your fold
And i am calling you, calling you
From 10,000 miles away
Won't you whet my fire with your love
Babe, babe, babe
I am intense, i am in need, i am in pain, i am in love
You know i am intense, i am in need, i am in pain, i am in love
I am intense, i am in need, i am in pain, i am in love
And blood and fire
Are too much for these restless arms to hold
And my nights of desire they're calling me
Back to your fold
And i am calling you, calling you
From 10,000 miles away
Won't you whet my fire with your love
Babe
Won't you whet my fire with your love
Babe now
Whet my fire with your love

7. _ Kid Fears
Pain from pearls -hey little girl
How much have you grown
Pain from pearls - hey little girl
Flower for the ones you've known
Are you on fire
From the years
What would you give
For your kid fears
Secret staircase, running high
You had a hiding place
Secret staircase, running low
But they all know, now you're inside
Are you on fire
From the years
What would you give
For your kid fears
Your kid fears
Skipping stones, we know the price now
And any sin will do
How much further, if you can spin
How much further, if you are smooth
Are you on fire
[are you on fire]
From the years
[from the years?]
What would you give
For your kid fears
[what would you give]
[what would replace the rent with the stars above]
(replace the rent with the stars above)
[replace the need with love]
(replace the need with love)
[replace the anger with the tide]
(replace the anger with the tide)
[replace the ones, the ones, the ones, that you love]
(replace the ones, the ones, the ones, that you love)
Ah the ones that you love
Are you on fire
(replace the rent with the stars above)
[are you on fire]
From all the years
(replace the need with love)
[from the years]
What would you give
(replace the anger with the tide)
[what would you give]
For your kid fears
(for the ones that you love)
(the ones that you love)
Hold on now
Are you on fire
(replace the rent with the stars above)
[are you on fire]
From all the years
(replace the need with love)
[from the years]
And what would you give
(replace the anger with the tide)
For your kid fears
[what would you give]
(for the ones that you love)
What would you give
(the ones that you love)
For you kid fears?
[what would you give]
What would you give for your kid fears
Your kid fears
Hey kids
Hold on

8. _ Secure Yourself
Secure yourself to heaven
Hold on tight, the night has come
Fasten up your earthly burdens
You have just begun
In the ink of an eye i saw you bleed
Through the thunder i could hear you scream
Solid to the air i breathe
Open-eyed and fast asleep
Falling softly as the rain
No footsteps ringing in your ears
Ragged down worn to the skin
Warrior raging, have no fear
Secure yourself to heaven
Hold on tight, the night has come
Fasten up your earthly burdens
You have just begun
I'm kneeling down with broken prayers
Hearts and bones from days of youth
Restless with an angel's wing
I dig a grave to bury you
No feet to fall
You need no ground
Allowed to glide right through the sun
Released from circles guarded tight
Now we all are chosen ones
Secure yourself to heaven
Hold on tight, the night has come
Fasten up your earthly burdens
You have just begun
Secure yourself to heaven
Hold on tight, the night has come
Fasten up your earthly burdens
You have just begun
In the ink of an eye i saw you bleed
Through the thunder i could hear you scream
Solid to the air i breathe
Open-eyed and fast asleep
Falling softly as the rain
No footsteps ringing in your ears
Ragged down worn to the skin
Warrior raging, have no fear
Secure yourself to heaven
Hold on tight, the night has come
Fasten up your earthly burdens
You have just begun
Secure yourself to heaven
(in the ink of an eye i saw you bleed)
Hold on tight, the night has come
(through the thunder i could hear you scream)
Fasten up your earthly burdens
(solid to the air i breathe)
You have just begun
(open-eyed and fast asleep)
Secure yourself to heaven
(no feet to fall, you need no ground)
Hold on tight, the night has come
(allowed to glide right through the sun)
Fasten up your earthly burdens
(released from circles guarded tight)
You have just begun
(now we all are chosen ones)
Now we all are chosen ones
(secure yourself to heaven)
Allowed to glide right through the sun
(hold on tight the night has come)
Released from circles guarded tight
(fasten up your earthly burdens)
Now we all are chosen ones

9. _ Tried To Be True
From baby to best with no second test
These little storms destroy you
Here is the fame they promised to give you
Taking the place of my hand now
Well did you try to be true
What separates me from you now
What separates me from you
Did you borrow the soul
The soul that you sell now
What does your conscience tell you
Where are the demons
Of your desires
Why does my love destroy you
I said i tried to be true
What separates me from you now
(what separates me from you now)
I said i tried, tried to be true
What separates me from you now
(what separates me from you now)
What separates me from you
(what separates me from you now)
I think it's you now
Tell me where is the fame
Where is the fortune
Where is the world that denies you
Who is to blame
When my heart finally forfeits
To a road that will only misguide you
Well did we try to be true
What separates me from you now
(what separates me from you now)
Oh did we try, try to be true
(what separates me from you now)
(what separates me from you now)
It separates me from you now
(what separates me from you now)
It separates me from you
(what separates me from you now)
It's you
Baby
Yeah i bought my love a hunger
(i tried, tried to be true)
More precious than a stone
(i tried, tried to be true)
(where is the world that denies you)
All these fatal flowers
(i tried, tried to be true)
(where is the world that denies you)
Did i misguide you?
(tried to be true)

10. _ Closer To Fine
I'm trying to tell you something about my life
Maybe give me insight between black and white
And the best thing you've ever done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously
It's only life after all
Yeah
Well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
And lightness has a call that's hard to hear
I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
I sailed my ship of safety till i sank it
I'm crawling on your shores
I went to the doctor, i went to the mountains
I looked to the children, i drank from the fountains
There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
And the less i seek my source for some definitive
(the less i seek my source)
The closer i am to fine
The closer i am to fine
And i went to see the doctor of philosophy
With a poster of rasputin and a beard down to his knee
He never did marry or see a b-grade movie
He graded my performance, he said he could see through me
I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind
Got my paper and i was free
I went to the doctor, i went to the mountains
I looked to the children, i drank from the fountains
There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
The less i seek my source for some definitive
(the less i seek my source)
The closer i am to fine
The closer i am to fine
I stopped by the bar at 3 a.m.
To seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend
And i woke up with a headache like my head against a board
Twice as cloudy as i'd been the night before
And i went in seeking clarity.
I went to the doctor, i went to the mountains
I looked to the children, i drank from the fountains
Yeah we go to the doctor, we go to the mountains
We look to the children, we drink from the fountains
Yeah we go to the bible, we go through the workout
We read up on revival and we stand up for the lookout
There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
The less i seek my source for some definitive
(the less i seek my source)
The closer i am to fine
The closer i am to fine
The closer i am to fine
