This is the last night out
This is a parting gift
This is goodbye
A gentle kiss farewell
Your hand slips from my hand
You walk away
Chorus/
I dance alone
One face reflected
In the mirrorball
You're swallowed by the crowd
All the dancing ghosts
Surrounding me
And still the music plays
And now I dance alone
In memories

Cold Call
03:01
|
|

You're down on your knees
Making a cold call to your deity
Begging it to set you free
From your life of misery
But there's nobody listening
There is no-one who cares
There's no-one answering
Because there's no-one there
Just spinning through the void
On this rock, 4 billion years old
Where by happy circumstance
Life survived to gain a foothold
We're just custodians
Temporary guardians
Not the chosen of some god
Granted dominion
Bridge/
And if you want an explanation
Of the planet's exploitation
Then observe the justification
That we're other and above
Just spinning through the void etc.

Now horses have hooves
As I'm sure you can tell
And they'll never be able
To pick up eggshell
So if that numpty Humpty Dumpty
Is likely to fall
I suggest the King's men
Just dismantle his wall
Tear down the wall

Erased
04:15
|
|
||
|
Something inhuman
Is creeping through the night
Something infernal
Extinguishing the light
Yellow eyes; shallow breath
Silent as the grave
Seeking a fallen soul
And you will not be saved
Chorus/
Cold hands
Cold eyes
Cold heart
Freeze
And now face to face
You find you cannot move
Some force holds you tight
Some grip you can't remove
Locked in the piercing sight
Of the basilisk gaze
Feel your thoughts and your soul
Gradually erased
C/
Do you know
(Now you know, now you know)
How it feels to be erased

Butterfly

|

|
You never felt comfortable
This life is insufferable
And you long to make a
Change
You were never compatible
Always a free radical
Longing to go your own
Way
Chorus/
Shed the old you
Step out of the cocoon
Be the butterfly
You're meant to be
When obstacles are impassable
People are irrational
Stay the course until you're
Free
Determination's invaluable
To overcome the intractable
Be true to yourself. This is the
Key
C/
Spread your
Spread you wings wide
Let your
Let your colours fly
