Heaven’s Ghetto

It’s spilling out into the street

The blood of nations where our futures meet

This world’s heart has been erased 

Another pusher takes the last one’s place 

How long 

‘Till the walls come down?

How soon 

Will we hear the echo?

How far

Do we let this go?

Before we’re living

In Heaven’s ghetto?

All that we can do is carry on

Legions of the night we’ll fight until the dawn

When the fire lights the sky

They’ll hear one voice unite in battle cry

How long

‘Till the walls come down?

How soon 

Will we hear the echo?

How far

Do we let this go?

Before we’re living 

In Heaven’s ghetto?

Raise the flag, strike the drum 

Sound the alarm, we’re headed for war 

How long

‘Till the walls come down?

How soon 

Will we hear the echo?

How far

Do we let this go?

Before we’re living 

In Heaven’s ghetto?

Stranger Than Angels

Stay if you will, Go if you must 

In perfect love and perfect trust 

As above so below 

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust 

We gather at midnight 

Under the moonlight 

In a circle of torches 

On a faraway hill

We emerge from the shadows 

Reality shatters 

We’ve answered the summons 

To summon our will

Stranger than angels

Wiser than time

Angelic strangers 

Whispering their rhymes

We meet in dark spaces 

Disguising our faces

For if we’re discovered

There’ll be hell to pay

We’ve opened the portal 

No longer mortal 

A time not a time

In a place not a place

Stranger than angels

Wiser than time

Angelic strangers 

Whispering their rhymes 

Winds from the north 

gather with force 

from the mountains to the plains

Winds from the east 

The fire’s released 

To burn what fear remains

Winds from the south 

Breathe life into our spell

Winds from the west

Fill our wishing well 

Stranger than angels

Wiser than time

Angelic strangers 

Whispering their rhymes 

Stranger than angels

Wiser than time

Angelic strangers 

Whispering their rhymes 

Last Night On Earth

If you knew tonight was your last

Would you count your blessings

Or would you count your cash?

At daybreak the chosen ones take flight 

Avarice compels them 

In spite of what is right 

Godspeed to the ship of fools

As they drift away to dreams of who they’ll rule

No remorse for the world they leave behind 

Save one martyr for the fate of all mankind 

Retribution’s in the air tonight 

It’s the last night on earth 

Take it for all that it’s worth 

At dawn, they take off for the skies

Faster than the speed of lies 

It's the last night on earth 

One will rise without eyes upon her 

Aradia her name

A lady of true honor

Bewitching like an avatar  

She’s a ghost in the machine

Hitching a ride to the stars

Goodbye to the world she knew 

Avalon awaits if her vision is true 

They’ll colonize under eyes of satellites 

Unless the renegade makes her sacrifice 

No refuge for the muse tonight 

It’s the last night on earth 

Take it for all that it’s worth 

At dawn, they take off for the skies

Faster than the speed of lies 

It's the last night on earth 

Godspeed to the ship of fools

As they drift away to dreams of who they’ll rule

No remorse for the world they leave behind 

Save one martyr for the fate of all mankind 

Retribution’s in the air tonight 

It’s the last night on earth 

Take it for all that it’s worth 

At dawn, they take off for the skies

Faster than the speed of lies 

It's the last, the last night, the last night 

Last night on earth

Ten Thousand Light-Years From Home

The day is here, it’s crystal clear

That we’re the chosen ones

Gather at dawn to bid farewell

To the revolution’s sons

Rumbling and roaring and burning 

The countdown has begun 

There’s no returning 

Ignition, liftoff, systems go 

Next stop Eden on with the show tonight 

Dark signs

Rewind 

Crashing through the skies

Ten thousand light-years from home 

We struggle to find

The life we left behind 

Ten thousand light-years from home

7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Alpha Engaged

We’ve earned the right to take this flight

To the promised land 

Our kingdom come, his will be done 

Death to the common man 

Twisting and turning and falling 

Transmission has ended 

There’s no way of calling 

May Day, May Day, S.O.S. 

Tell your gods we learned our lesson 

Dark signs

Rewind 

Crashing through the skies

Ten thousand light-years from home 

Shot down 

In flames 

No sign of life remains 

Ten thousand light-years from home 

This is no Utopia 

We have been deceived 

Humanity not vanity 

Our karma’s been received 

May Day, May Day, S.O.S. 

Tell your gods we learned our lesson well

Dark signs

Rewind 

Crashing through the skies

Ten thousand light-years from home 

Shot down 

In flames 

No sign of life remains 

Ten thousand light-years from home 

We struggle to find

The life we left behind 

Ten thousand light-years from home

No Devil Lived On

We set our sails for new lands

With fire in our souls

But when the ships arrived

With no one alive

A story must be told

Silence it is golden

And dead men tell no tales

Heed this omen

Don't waste another moment

Or your doom will prevail 

No Devil Lived On

No Devil Lived On

No Devil Lived On, No They’re Gone

No Devil Lived On

Thought you were the masters

Of a world that you controlled 

But your future tribe

Traveled back in time

As the prophecies foretold

You believed your destiny

Is manifest and pure

But Gaia sees 

That you’re the disease 

And extinction is her cure

No Devil Lived On

No Devil Lived On

No Devil Lived On, No they’re Gone

No Devil Lived On

“Oh sun, you remain forever, 

but we mortals must die

Oh earth, you remain forever, 

but we mortals must die”

Now our tale is ending

Just as it began

Sons of tomorrow

Prevent the sorrow

Of your father’s plan

Nature’s undefeated

Humanity’s unsure

It’s not too late 

For us to awake

But we can’t wait a minute more

No Devil Lived On

No Devil Lived On

No Devil Lived On, No They’re Gone

No Devil Lived On

No Devil Lived On

No Devil Lived On

No Devil Lived On, No They’re Gone

No Devil Lived On

A Heartbeat Away

Winter came early this year

We barely had a moment 

To breathe the autumn air 

You crossed my heart, I hoped to die 

From the second I met you 

My soul could never lie 

Now I mourn for every minute 

We took for granted 

I wake alone 

Still dreaming of you

And I can barely stand it

We’re a heartbeat away from our deepest sorrow

A heartbeat away from loneliness

We’re a heartbeat away from no tomorrow 

But we’re only just a breath away from bliss 

Summer came, you weren’t here

We barely had a moment 

To shed another tear 

You crossed the bridge 

And took my heart 

From the second I met you 

Our souls would never part 

Now I mourn for every minute 

We took for granted 

I awake alone 

Still dreaming of you

And I can barely stand it

We’re a heartbeat away from our deepest sorrow

A heartbeat away from loneliness

We’re a heartbeat away from no tomorrow 

But we’re only just a breath away from bliss 

I wasn’t ready for you to leave 

Now I know what to believe 

You never left, we’re both still here

Two reflections of the same mirror 

Save my place in the Summerlands 

Until we meet again on crystal sands

We’re a heartbeat away from our deepest sorrow

A heartbeat away from loneliness

We’re a heartbeat away from no tomorrow 

But just a breath away from bliss 

Yes we’re only just a breath away from bliss

Rise of the Witches

What if I told you all you knew 

Was an illusion, confusion, untrue      

They say the pages of history 

Are written by those who claim victory 

Controlling minds for 2,000 years

Kept us in line by stoking our fears 

No longer will we hide who we are 

We’re stronger together by far 

We are witches we shall rise

From the Earth into the skies 

United far and wide

We are ancient, we are wise 

We are witches we shall rise

From the ashes of their lies

United far and wide 

And we finally found our way home 

Bid farewell to the age of man 

Ushering in a new world plan

Unlock your daughters, unlock your wives

The goddess is rising, pray for your lives 

We come in peace yet with sword and shield

To shine a light on truth they concealed 

No longer will we hide who we are 

We’re stronger together by far 

We are witches we shall rise

Overseas on blackened tides 

United far and wide

We are ancient, we are wise 

We are witches we shall rise

On the wings of night we fly 

United far and wide 

We finally, finally found our way home 

Let’s all join forces through ageless incantation

Awakening our Maiden from mystic hibernation 

No longer will we hide who we are 

We’re stronger together by far

We are witches we shall rise

From the Earth into the skies 

United far and wide

We are ancient, we are wise 

We are witches we shall rise

From the ashes of their lies

United far and wide 

And we finally found our way home 

Found our way home 

We are witches we shall rise

We are witches we shall rise

Found our way home

We are witches we shall rise

We are witches we shall rise

Shadowchaser

Hail hail the traveler

The sacred stowaway

You’ve been gone, oh gone for much too long 

And they say you’ve lost your way 

No mortal could survive 

Without fire, air, and water

But the third eye sees your identity 

The morning star’s own daughter 

Shadow chaser, catch the rainbow

Wish upon a star

Cross the bridge and join the angels

Your spirit’s never far

Past is only an illusion

Memories allow 

Tomorrow offers no solution 

Live only in the now

Over the mountains

Where the rivers meet the sea

A blind man guards a crystal fountain

And he can help you see

If you can answer his riddle 

And pay a toll with your very eyes

You’ve been frozen too long in the middle 

Now you’re trapped inside his ice 

Shadow chaser, catch the rainbow

Wish upon a star

Cross the bridge and join the angels

Your spirit’s never far

Rest inside your crystal chamber 

Until your coven calls 

You’ll emerge the true ice maiden 

When the chrysalis falls 

Shadow chaser, catch the rainbow

Wish upon a star

Cross the bridge and join the angels

Your spirit’s never far

Rest inside your crystal chamber 

Until your coven calls 

You’ll emerge the true ice maiden 

When the chrysalis falls

Shadow chaser, catch the rainbow

Wish upon a star

Cross the bridge and join the angels

Your spirit’s never far

Past is only an illusion

Memories allow 

Tomorrow offers no solution 

Live only in the now

Shadowchaser catch that rainbow

Oh, wish upon a star

Starseed Trilogy

Starseed Trilogy Pt I

The Emerald Tablet 

(instrumental)

Starseed Trilogy Pt II

Ruler of Arcana

Mother Nature licks her wounds 

New growth covers the scars

Old kings have been removed 

All hail the Queen of Stars

The second coming has been delayed

By cryogenic hibernation

So she projects her hologram to those who prayed

For her to rule their cybernation 

She’s the ruler of Arcana 

Sowing the seeds of paradise

She slayed the nemesis 

Spawning neogenesis

Reborn through mortal sacrifice 

Everybody’s wishing for a miracle 

Yet few believe one’s on the way

So we cling to data that’s empirical today

Praying ones and zeros light the way 

She’s the ruler of Arcana 

Goddess of mercy from beyond 

The one who hears… the world’s cries and tears 

Divinity in silicon 

The only hero that can save us

Is the one reflecting in the glass

They say compassion is contagious 

Let’s hope our spell was meant to last

She’s the ruler of Arcana 

Sowing the seeds of paradise

She slayed the nemesis 

Spawning neogenesis

She is an angel in disguise 

She’s the ruler of Arcana 

Goddess of mercy from beyond 

The one who hears the world’s cries and tears 

Divinity in silicon

Starseed Trilogy Part III

And I Am You

I am the universe

The dreamer and the dream

I’m the reason for the rhyme 

A cosmic silhouette

Projected on your screen 

My spirit ricochets through time 

I am the sea that feeds your river

And I’m the wind that fills your sky

I’m the ground on which you stand and deliver  

I am the fire in your eye

And I am you

You are stardust 

The singer and the song 

And you’re a master of disguise

It’s always darkest

Just before the dawn

So learn to see without your eyes 

And when you look for what’s looking 

You might find no one looking back

Like empty pages in a book and  

No reflection in the looking glass

And I am you 

Without the darkness

The stars won’t shine 

And we’re all satellites in the night 

So return to your world

With the secrets you’ve heard 

And balance the darkness with your light  

I am the sea that feeds your river

And I’m the wind that fills your sky

I am the ground on which you stand and deliver  

I am the fire in your eye

And I am you

“Together we’ll escape Heaven’s Ghetto

Stranger Than Angels you’ll see

And if tonight’s to be our Last Night On Earth

10,000 Light Years From Home we’ll soon be 

They say No Devil Lived On, that they’re all gone

Yet just A Heartbeat Away from you and me

The Rise of the Witches will keep them at bay 

As foretold in the Shadowchaser’s Starseed Trilogy 

Where The Emerald Tablet unlocked the Ruler of Arcana

Who saith unto us “I am you, you are me, and we are all…

So mote it be.”     

Lightning Strikes

Searching in the shadows, for a life that matters 

Bitter, guarded, broken-hearted 

I saw black and white, you were a rainbow in the night 

Shades of gray, clouds give way

Now I see electricity  

You took me by surprise 

Never heard your thunder roar before your lightning strike 

Like a bolt from the sky

You set the night on fire when your lightning strikes 

Searching in the shadows, for a life that matters 

It came as a shock to me 

I’m a slave to your electricity 

You took me by surprise 

Never heard your thunder roar before your lightning strike 

Like a bolt from the sky

You set the night on fire when your lightning strikes 

Now the torch is lit, we’ll carry it through the dark

We could never predict 

A wildfire born, born just from a spark  

You took me by surprise 

Never heard your thunder roar before your lightning strike 

Like a bolt from the sky

You set the night on fire when your lightning strikes

You took me by surprise 

Never heard your thunder roar before your lightning strike 

Like a bolt from the sky

You set the night on fire when your lightning strikes

Through Your Eyes

Dreams shared, moments in time

Memories all that remain

Bonds that could never be shattered 

Lie tattered, nothing’s the same 

I am traveling on

The fear in my heart 

is the wind in the sails that move me

Yours is an anchor my friend 

I look out and see an army of me

You lock the door and swallow the key

Hearts lie still broken, seeing the world

The world through your eyes

Forever is stolen, seeing the world

The world through your eyes

The world through your eyes

I sprung from the well

Threw you a line from the other side

You just dragged the rope in 

Tied a noose and pulled it tight 

I look out and see an army of me

You lock the door and swallow the key

Hearts lie still broken, seeing the world

The world through your eyes

Forever is stolen, seeing the world

The world through your eyes

The world through your eyes

Hearts lie still broken, seeing the world

The world through your eyes

Forever is stolen, seeing the world

The world through your eyes

Hearts lie still broken, seeing the world

The world through your eyes

The world through your eyes

Through your eyes…

Misfortune Teller

You’re the undisputed queen

Of this hypocri-scene

The award for drama goes to only you

Lavish styles and plastic smiles

Can not conceal the truth

It’s time to bear the burden of proof

And now the bell tolls for you

Misfortune teller

It's all just smoke and mirrors

Delusion seller

Preyed upon our darkest fears 

You’ll get what’s coming to you

You are your own misfortune teller

Thinking you deceived us all

Another curtain call 

It’s time for you to take your final bow 

But no one’s applauding you now

Misfortune teller

It's all just smoke and mirrors

Delusion seller

Selling us our fears 

You’ll get what’s coming to you

You are your own misfortune teller

Better to stay silent 

And be thought a fool 

Than to speak your mind 

And show the world it's true

Misfortune teller

It's all just smoke and mirrors

Delusion seller

Preyed upon our darkest fears 

Misfortune teller

Delusion seller

Currency of tears

You’ll get what’s coming to you

You are your own misfortune teller

You are your own misfortune teller

Goodbye Cruel World

In every life there comes a time
When stars refuse to shine
When the call of distant shores
Beckons us to sail forth

To new horizons beyond the raging sea
May the winds guide us on waves of destiny

Goodbye cruel world, paradise is ours to find
Goodbye cruel world, leaving this cruel world behind

With heavy hearts, we left our home
In search of worlds we’ve never known
To build a haven for our dreams in a world of mystery

Free from all sorrow into the great unknown

Goodbye cruel world, paradise is ours to find
Goodbye cruel world, leaving this cruel world behind

As we drift toward the light
The mist gives way to second sight

To new horizons beyond the raging sea

Goodbye cruel world, paradise is ours to find
Goodbye cruel world, leaving this cruel world behind

Goodbye cruel world, paradise is ours to find
Goodbye cruel world, leaving this cruel world behind

Leaving this cruel world behind
