1. Empty Streets Don't pull me down through your sorrow I cannot drown these pitied depths We did not choose to live this way But we must make our own freedom Pull the curtain and let the light shine in Blow the cobwebs from your mind Spring has sprung and we must follow her Leave the winter far behind Cold calling, hang up that call Storm brewing, take shelter in my arms Winds blow through those empty streets Shadows growing, illuminate your mind Death closing, take a different road Winds blow through those empty streets Pull the curtain and let the light shine in Blow the cobwebs from your mind Spring has sprung and we must follow her Leave the winter far behind Winds blow through those empty streets Cold calling, hang up that call Storm brewing, take shelter in my arms Winds blow through those empty streets Shadows growing, illuminate your mind Death closing, take a different road Winds blow through those empty streets Don't pull me down through your sorrow I cannot drown these pitied depths We did not choose to live this way But we must make our own freedom Pull the curtain and let the light shine in Blow the cobwebs from your mind Spring has sprung and we must follow her Leave the winter far behind 2. Substance Vortex The shell that you've become 3rd eye dilated Your world's become one. You. Down dark corridors To the basement of your soul Hide there in silence Addiction consumes No one else in there Only yourself can break you free Can't be my brother's keeper These walls are your own Just one more fix And everything's fine Addiction, your only friend And he's here to stay Take a walk outside your substance vortex Outside, the world turning As you wither deep inside Caught in a cycle, self inflicted You're in there somewhere The shell you've become 3rd eye dilated Your world's become one Take a walk outside your substance vortex Outside, the world turning As you wither deep inside Caught in a cycle, self inflicted You're in there somewhere The shell you've become 3rd eye dilated Your world's become one. You. 3. Respect My Solitude Space gazing Passing the time of life People watching Their dreams mine to behold Respect my solitude Content in my own mind My energies renewed The present redefined Time wasting Hours pass too slow I'm waiting For the journey to begin Respect my solitude Content in my own mind My energies renewed The present redefined Frustration, prisoner to schedules In chains, my freedom essential Days wasted, the time will not return Life-changing Each time something new Contemplating Which path to tread Respect my solitude Content in my own mind My energies renewed The present redefined 4. Cloud Seeder Cloud seeder, all is for you Without your rain This desert could not bloom I'm waiting for you to arrive Anticipating cascading skies So soothing, to cleanse my fears Life-giving is in your tears She brings the storm So soothing, to cleanse my fears Life-giving is in your tears From nowhere Black clouds strike out the sun She brings the storm Thunder, lightning, torrential rain So soothing, to cleanse my fears Life-giving is in your tears Cloud seeder, all is for you Without your rain This desert could not bloom 5. Still Yearning Arise from our slumber To greet the new dawn Far we have wandered Our journey carries on New ventures await Flowing softly in the new wind From here I can see the stars Waiting for new dimensions Full of passion, my new soul Takes me further beyond this night I promise to keep you in my heart Know I am gone but shall return anew Keep growing stronger every day Embrace the new, meet me halfway Still learning, still yearning I promise to keep you in my heart Know I am gone but shall return anew 6. Strike Up with the Dawn I keep pushing through Chasing dreams of yesterday But your times are gone You live them through your son Midnight has passed you by My tomorrow is just beginning Keep pushing Youth has faded We cannot hide the lines Living through your progeny Was this your destiny? Midnight has passed you by But my tomorrow is just beginning Keep pushing Have you succumbed? Are you defeated? Is that fire inside you gone? My new chorus strikes up with the dawn! Time is to take Not foolishly give away Keep pushing 7. Transcending Yesterdays The time is here to awake Dreams now fade, dark forsakes Am back with the world now I wasn't gone for too long Consumed by aching pain Now I must be strong Prepare to fly again Transcending yesterdays Return? I can't say when Perhaps we'll find a way Back on my own No pressure to conform Living cheek by jowl Where conflict is born Breathing deep, all now done But cannot wait for my return! Prepare to fly again Transcending yesterdays Return? I can't say when Perhaps we'll find a way Life now slow Again I hear the call "Come to me..." Ready to go back into the fray Back to a womb of drunken chaos Adrenaline rising, guides my way I cannot wait for my return! Prepare to fly again Transcending yesterdays Return? I can't say when Perhaps we'll find a way 8. Cease the Day Dawn is a spell to be broken The night is for drifting on the seas As the fire becomes cold There's a story to be told Life's embers floating on the breeze We never will return to this day A memory is all you'll bear Life's seasons changing fast So cherish 'til the last worn care Overcome Dawn is a dreamer to be woken The darkness a time to turn away When the memories you hold Are worth more than foolish gold Hear the calling Time to cease the day Lyrics in plain text format
