O Fortuna
Am I but your clockwork hero?
From here in the last ditch
Toe to toe, blow for blow -
You are the enigma
Well never mind!
The future's already happened
And there is always someone left to fight to the death
With everybreath inside this body -
My dreams are what's keeping me alive!
And it is wise to be careful when the animal shows no fear
Puny human - you are no match for me
For things are never as they appear
Now I've been freed from the ropes that bind
Well who is the puppetmaster?
Dishing out an eye for an eye and spitting teeth
Well you'll never take me alive!
O Fortuna
Am I alone in this darkness we call redemption
Well I could not change you
No more than I could change my shadow
No more than I could fly to the moon
. . .

The certainty that I am me,
That there is everything that I can see;
That what I percieve is all it appears,
And the belief that I am even here.
It's all in my mind.
Well it's all in my mind.
Into an ocean I am cast, between the past,
And all things that will come to be.
If every choice I make is my own, inside the unknown,
Then how can there be destiny?
Well...
It's all in my mind.
Well it's all in my mind.
And it's all inside.
This is all in my mind.
In every moment I dismiss,
And every metamorphosis.
That from a bud the flowers bloom,
A butterfly from each cocoon.
It's all inside.
Well it's all in your mind.
Then it's all inside.
This is all in your mind.
Well it's all inside.
Well it's all in your mind.
Well it's all inside.
This is all in your mind.

Caught as you are in the trouble and strife,
best make what you can of this mortal life
Well some people make things
and others destroy things
Beware when dangers slip in
of damage adventures will bring
For life is a hazardous thing that slowly
seeps under your skin
and causes your being to sting
Well the fickles of providence will or they won't, but you're damned if
you do and you're damned if you don't
Some people will love you - and others will hate you
Never heed what doubters say - your instinct will show you the way
In times when you wander and stray - no master for you to obey - Save dying for some other day
Well the spoils of friendship are bitter and sweet so take a close look at the council you keep
For some people will aid you while others will fight you
But what do you really know? Just into which battle d'you go?
Examine your own shadow - your adversary it may show as clear as the horns that you'll grow
. . .

Only luck keeps us out of the coffin
Mistakes can be fatal
This state of affairs is
complex and dangerous
Just who is a friend and who is an enemy?
Oh anaesthetist!
You are the servant delving into my mind
I'd be high above the mountaintops
I'd be deep beneath the ocean blue
I'd be far across the universe
Dripping in ecstasy
The illusionist has made the box empty
But what is a certainty?
Now enter the surgeon
to cut out your dignity
Oh anaesthetist!
You are my servant delving into my mind
I'd be high above the mountaintops
I'd be deep beneath the ocean blue
I'd be faster than the human eye
I'd be diving through an endless swoon
Faraway across the universe
To rest in peace
. . .

Upon strange seas of thought
Upon thoughts of strange seas
I'm gonna go where I please
Upon strange seas of thought
I'm making my way into the waiting day
Is there anybody out there?
Where the sky is like the ocean
Where the thunderclouds are endless and are waiting to fall
On abstract tangents I am riding on strange seas of thought
Where perplexion is a spider web - a sphinx suspended on a thread
Don't lose control of who you are upon strange seas of thought
Out there upon meadows of green I'll be lying, on mountains of dreams
I'll be climbing
Upon secrets untold, upon treasures
of gold I'll be finding
- Is there anybody out there? -
Where the sea is like the heavens
. . .

Amongst processes I'm finding
And schemes that need designing
With procedures for applying
And purifying
(Oh) With the taste of possibilities
Of voodoo sensibilities
Well I've been making my enquiries
In matters such as these
(I've been) Purifying
(I've been) Testifying
(I've been) Sanctifying
And death defying
A man needs insight to rely on
To manipulate each outcome
To have systems he can summon
To master and govern
(I've been) Purifying
(I've been) Testifying
(I've been) Sanctifying
And death defying
. . .

What was held by these weary hands
that have been harvesting
Where brave souls grew tall in endless
fields of gold that whispered in the breeze
Hallowed were thy birds in trees
We marvelled at the skies
With wonder in our eyes
and summer's butterflies
Enchanted in each gilded August
Embraced where swallows chased the sun
They wove a complex fugue where
wild flowers bloomed only in your name
Where no two days were quite the same
But if you close your eyes
the past is never lost
Well I would hold your hand when
you are vulnerable and alone
And wherever dangers roam,
I would keep you safe from harm
Through those valleys of shadows
beyond lagoons of pink flamingoes
Beyond rainbows we became
where music falls as rain
It falls to ease the pain where
memories remain
Upon a kiss of tenderness
Into the sky from out of each abyss
Ascending to the depths of purest azure bliss
Where we would never have to say goodbye
And there would never be a tear to cry
Where I would be with you forever by your side
Where I would be with you until the end of time.
Until the end of time
. . .

From beyond a ghostly place
A magic spell is never seen
Some things are incomprehensible
Some things are simply
inexpressible
In each series of events
Entwines the fabric of
relationships
All things are just a
consequence
All things are more than just
coincidence
Prising open a hidden meaning
At the heart of a paradox
Of somewhere transiently
tangible
Of somewhere eternally
ephemeral
Disturbances will be
Where there is energy
Something that we couldn't see
One part a dream
And one part reality
. . .

I'll shield my face for you are my master
Here in the glow of each glorious sunbeam
Into the blue, up into the blue
Keep me alive here
So look to the east with each breaking morning
And look to the west with each sunset descending
Into the blue, up into the blue
Well some days you win and some days you lose
Ascending
Well the sun shines holy
So do unto me, for I am your servant
Burning my skin in each molten rapture
Into the blue, up into the blue
Where death holds no fear
Ascending
Well the sun shines wholly
. . .

With your permission
Escaped this perdition
Each line and division
Is to define you
To confine you
A fleeting recollection
Of someone I'd forgotten
A split second impression
Of a safe place
Of a kind face
Designed Eden without a care
Come emancipation
I would take you anywhere
Gracious steps lead me up into the heavens
Of reconciliations
These mountains and chasms
These jungles and oceans
With trespass forgiven
And sunbeams that are golden
With no hate or religion
Just each other to discover
Designed Eden without a care
Come emancipation
I would take you anywhere
Arrived and vanished into air
Come disintegration
Where would you be waiting?
Whith my head on the pillow
As sails billow
The ground is hollow
In every gladness
In every sadness
