Memories
01:31

The many years pass on by
Like memory tape on analog minds
And love conquers all, but it comes at a price
It'll take every breath
It'll claim every life

The Gathering/Overture
04:47
|
|||
Oh the joy that awaits you there
A gathering which none can compare
All the saints rejoice to see
Another son brought to glory
The weary world will pass away
Only words of truth will remain
Leave your burdens at the door
Enter Thy rest and cry no more

Always Tomorrow
04:27
|

Carried by the early years
Swept inside a dream
Neither here nor there
Somewhere in-between
Off on an adventure
Beyond the yard outside
And if we never make it
At least we'll say we tried
Laughter from the hallway
Where we both used to play
I have to go to school now
But you ask me to stay
Life's not always easy
At least I have you, my brother
Every stage I relive
Through the eyes of another
There was a moment I should have called, I let it go
(There's always tomorrow)
A moment I should have come, but didn't show
(It's not too late)
You've got a lot to say and I don't want to let you down
(There's always tomorrow)
We didn't have today but there's always tomorrow

The Liar
05:40

She doesn't love you anymore
Your confidence betrayed
The one you thought you knew has never been
So lie down and close your eyes
I can bring you rest, my friend
You were destined for more
Than a family of the damned
Thinking they could know the truth
Well, their good intentions
Have all but left you blind
But I could open up your eyes anew
I'll take you where you really want to go
And show you things you never knew you didn't know
I am the mystery few men have ever seen
You've already tasted from the tree
You could master the soul
The secret of the gods revealed
A universe contained in you
Forget the demons
Enlightenment can be had
The liberty you crave so bad
I'll take you where you really want to go
And show you things you never knew you didn't know
I am the mystery few men have ever seen
I'll take you where you really want to go
And show you things you never knew you didn't know
I am the mystery few men have ever seen
It's time to give yourself to me

Keeping Apart
05:41
|
|||
I don't understand how many sleep so sound
They never question anything, like a puppet on a string
While this doubt remains like a weight around my neck
Here to carry me down to the darkest depths
If I don't keep it in check
These lies I've been keeping apart
I hear so many voices screaming under the water
Which hand do I trust to pull me from the noise
Hope creeps in, but I've seen it all play out
I can't live with this, I can't shake the fear
I'm drowning in my doubt
These lies I've been keeping apart
Give me light and I'll stay in this burning room
Either you failed me or I failed you
Either way, we are both doomed

I cling to expertise
My treasure is my research
Affording me security and status on this earth
In afternoons, I skip stones
Ripples and data lines
I fear the day those stones fly away
And truth's no longer mine
You say we cannot know for certain
But that won't stop me from believing
Doubt is not a destination
Only a station we're all leaving
If truth is an anomaly
That we're unable to defend
Then I'd still stake my ship
Risk the whole perilous trip
And be faithful to the bitter end
Freedom now means indecision
Skeptics have the smoother sailing
Still, I'll rock from side to side
Through the waves and the tide
In a vessel I know to be unfailing
You say we cannot know for certain
But that won't stop me from believing
Doubt is not a destination
Only a station we're all leaving
Because in the ending all is settled
There's only one hope and salvation
Doubt is not a destination
Only a station, only a station
You say we cannot know for certain
But that won't stop me from believing
Doubt is not a destination
Only a station we're all leaving
Because in the ending all is settled
There's only one hope and salvation
Doubt is not a destination
Only a station, only a station

Passing
04:20
|

It came on the wings of spring time
Black and unashamed
The green was made to lie, and
Life was made to fade
So come for your reward
The Liar, too, deceived
The Victor's come and gone
The Son has been received

Homecoming
03:13
|
|||
To friends and family
I leave behind
A quarter century
Cemented in time
I pass into the light
My story told
And all the memories
Are ours to hold
If you could see me now
I'd make you proud
The chains that held me once
Have fallen to the ground
I carry nothing
When it's time to conclude
My burden lifted
My mind renewed

Gates of Heaven
03:11
|
|||
To search our store of laid up time
And find it's all been spent
To want nothing more than brotherhood
and find there's nothing left
No useless tears can, from this fate,
Relief to me afford
It is our lot, and as I mourn
I pray you're safe and well
And on this day I think of you
In memories kept so dear
Yet for that image to renew
Few things would I withhold
And though I've wished for you to be
Into this life restored
I must wait until those gates of heaven
Yield me unto you
Brother wait until those gates of heaven
Yield me unto you
