-lyrics- (the sleeping
dragon) (words: swanson 2006, music: swanson, wise 2006) Lies
in waiting in slumber for ages still growing Though
signs warn shes there threatneing all of her presence The
mysteries she holds in these the poor souls shes befallen Surrounding
her lair is a curse to beware Surrounding
her lair is a curse to beware Pity
those who wake the sleep of the dragon Lies
in waiting in slumber for ages still growing Though
signs warn shes there threatneing all of her presence The
mysteries she holds in these shes befallen (she
comes to me in dreams) (words: swanson 1993/2006, music: moran 1993) Now
Im touched With
two sights She
comes to me in dreams Alone
when I awake She
comes to me in dreams Soon
a reality (passing time)
(words: swanson 2006, music: wise 1991) Livin
an illusion watching whats left of life slip away Like
buried alive Just
passing time (alone)
(words: swanson 1993/2006, music: moran 1992) I
feel the desperation My
cries unheard unoticed The
hurt is getting too much I
sit alone in sadness The
hurt is getting too much (search for light) (words:
swanson 1991/2006, music: wise 1991) Although
Im looking still I cannot see Out
there someone somewhere speaks my name (signs)
(words: swanson 2006, music: swanson, wise 2006) It
looms like a cloud and threatens like a sky It
digs down deep and haunts you like the dead and buried It
breaks like the dawn and falls like that of grace Looking
for an answer, Searching for a sign
FRACTURED
FORCE, TURN TAKES COURSE BROKEN
DOWN INTO DIRT AND DUST FRACTURED
FORCE, TURN TAKES COURSE LIMIT

mounted by grains of sand, FRACTURED

burning)

tainted tables turning (men at arms)
(words: swanson 1989/2006, music: wise 1989) Bear
your lance, Render your sword Dispatch
forces, In for the kill Into
battle a vanquished caste Hostile
grounds reek of blood and death No
survivors, Nor captives kept A
call to arms and off to war No
survivors, Nor captives kept (disappear)
(words: swanson 2006, music: swanson, wise 2006) Through
the eyes of the experienced Spanning
but a moment so sudden and its here ...disappear Through

in the studio live~ (the
one thing)
(words: swanson 2003, music: swanson, flint, jacovino 2003 )
MAN
AND GOD SHARE THE SOUL SUN
AND MOON GIVE BIRTH THE
WIND CARRIES IT TO EARTH WHERE
BODY AND SOUL, LIFE AND DEATH COMBINE WITH
INFINITE SPACE AND CONTINUING TIME TO
TAKE AWAY IS TO GIVE ANOTHER
THE CHANCE TO LIVE TO
REMAIN ALL THINGS MUST CHANGE SO
IN THE END ALL BE THE SAME WHERE
BODY AND SOUL, LIFE AND DEATH COMBINE WITH
INFINITE SPACE AND CONTINUING TIME WHERE
ELDER GODS AND ANCIENT ONES GIVE
REASON TO WHY ALL THINGS BECOME THREE
PARTS... WISDOM ALL
TOGETHER ARE THE WHOLE BODY...
SPIRIT AND
THE MIND ARE THE SOUL (dream
machine)
(words: swanson 1990,
music: swanson, flint, jacovino 2003) THE
SUN SHINES FOREVER HERE BUT ITS JUST A DREAM AS
FAR AS MY MIND CAN TAKE ME AS LONG AS I CAN DREAM FARTHER
THAN THE EYE CAN SEE SIMULATED REALITY RAINBOWS
PAINT A CLOUDLESS SKY, FIELDS OF FOREVER GREEN IN
A WORLD WHERE NO ONE DIES AND NOTHINGS AS IT SEEMS SYNTHESIZED
INFINITY, MIND LINKED TO MACHINE YOU
CAN LIVE FOREVER, FOREVER IN A DREAM LOCKED
INSIDE MY OWN MIND UNCONSCIOUSNESS THE KEY HIDDEN
FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD ESCAPE TO BED OF DREAMS (in
my wake)
(words: swanson 2003,
music: swanson, flint, jacovino 2003) YOUR
LIGHT IT WARMS UP MY DEATHBED ASLEEP
I REST BELOW MY HEADSTONE THE
EARTH IT COVERS UP ALL MY BONES UNDERNEATH
MY SKIN CRAWLS CREATURES
THAT PREY ON THE NIGHTFALL MY
WITHERING FLESH BEGINS TO FADE INFESTED
NOW MY BODY WITH DECAY LAY
ME DOWN IN THE HALLOWED GROUND IN
THIS MY FINAL RESTING PLACE PRAY
MY SOUL IS HEAVEN BOUND WHEN
I DIE, IN MY WAKE MOON
IT SHINES JUST ABOVE MY HEAD YOUR
LIGHT IT WARMS UP MY DEATHBED ASLEEP
I REST BELOW MY HEADSTONE THE
EARTH IT COVERS UP ALL MY BONES (circles)
(words: swanson 1993,
music: swanson, flint 2003) A
WORLD WITHIN THE NIGHT INTO
A DREAM, INTO OBSCURITY THE
DARK FORCES BECKON ME HAVE
MERCY SHOWN ON THIS LOST SINNERS SOUL AS
I ENTER THE UNKNOWN THROUGH
THE GATES, ABSU AWAITS IN
THIS MY ALTERED STATE THROUGH
ACHERON, TO SHORES OF CHARON MY
QUEST CONTINUES ON ACROSS
THE STYX, OVER THE WALLS OF DIS INTO
THE GREAT ABYSS JUST
BEYOND PHLEGETHON I
REACH THE PEAKS OF DAWN THE
SERPENT SLEEPS IN THE EARTH BENEATH DEAD
BUT IN A DREAM (the
beast)
(words: swanson 1989,
music: swanson, flint, jacovino 2003) AS
THE SUN BURNS OUT OF SIGHT CLOUDS
REVEAL A MOON THAT'S FULL MY
MUSCLES CONTORT AND PULL PENTAGRAM
EMBEDDED IN MY HAND BRANDED
A CHILD OF THE DAMNED HELLFIRE
BURNING IN MY EYES REFLECTING
YOU ARE THE NEXT TO DIE REACTIONARY
TO MOONSHINE A
TEMPORARY LOSS OF MIND OVERCOME
WITH THIS INSANITY CURSED
BY THIS LYCANTHROPY WITH
THE MORNING COMES SUNRISE THE
BEAST INSIDE ME THEN IT DIES FORGETTING
ALL THAT I'VE DONE BLOOD STILL DRIPPING FROM MY TONGUE |
