The Stranger
04:30
|
|
||
A wanderer walking for miles
In a desert wasteland countryside
Still searching for some sense of pride
To find himself before he dies
I wake up to a sun serene
Its beams of light are the only lead
No other wants, no other needs
For a man who yearns to be free
Each day feels like the last
Can anyone abandon their past?
I lay my head for the night
The fire’s embers flick in flight
A deadly dance for this respite
Will the morning bring new life?
A voice screams out in the dark
No one should fear the flame in their heart
A little faith, a little start
Burning bright with a spark
Who was the stranger in my dream?
That apparition speaking to me
She was a shadow solemnly still
I never thought that looks could kill
Her presence healed my broken will
She said I’ll teach you how to fly
And with each day that passes by
Your limit is the sky
She was the stranger in my dream
That apparition next to me

The Fall
05:14
|
|

Enveloped by those emerald eyes
I fell into the void
I’d do anything to make her mine
I asked myself for the last time
If she could be the one
Addicted to that auburn hair
In autumn’s vivid views
I walked with you upon the sands
The water’s waves ebb and expand
A place perfect in the sun
If time could stop and the world stood still
With us here in hallowed harmony
If we could waltz away the coastal chills
With music echoed in eternity
Oh I’d fall into your arms in paradise
A dance routine to this soul song’s reprise
For you my heart is filled with burning fire
The descent into a whirlwind of desire
Here comes the fall
Stricken by your stunning smile
I’m happiest with you
You take my hand and hold me tight
Romance revealed that feels so right
Ablaze, I am undone
If time could stop and the world stood still
With us here in hallowed harmony
If we could waltz away the coastal chills
With music echoed in eternity
Oh I’d fall into your arms in paradise
A dance routine to this soul song’s reprise
For you my heart is filled with burning fire
The descent into a whirlwind of desire
Here comes the fall
Like withered trees and fallen leaves
A season longing for love and need
When winter’s winds begin their breeze
Will you be here to comfort me?
If time could stop and the world stood still
With us here in hallowed harmony
If we could waltz away the coastal chills
With music echoed in eternity

The Sinner
04:04
|
|
||
Stubbornly and selfishly
I made you my everything
Alone I felt incomplete
Clinging to a picture perfect scene
Constantly seeking control
We made this a mutiny
Together dear, we lied to see
The wolf willfully prey upon the sheep
Emptiness inside my heart
When you left me out at sea
Floating by, no security
I thought I’d drown to set my spirit free
Here lies the sinner
Lay him to rest
Forgive him of his faults
And forget the rest
A soulless ghost lost to the world
The saints pray for peace
Bless his heart in the next life
Grant the sinner release

The Call
05:02
|
|
||
My eyes awoke blinded by the sun
Lying on the sand where we used to walk
Footprints washed away just like the past
By the grace of God I’m pulled out of the dark
I dreamt that I was flying past the moon
Pulling toward the deepest depths of black
Only the flame inside provided hope
That a little faith would lead me to the light
The only sound I need to hear
Is your voice calling me to here
A soulful gaze upon endless stars
Enrapt am I within its vast expanse
The constellations writing my life’s song
Each pattern paints a path to carry on
The only person I need to be
Is the one that I see in me
I hear the call
Press on forward through it all
A hope pouring down from above
To learn to live in love
He was the stranger in my dream
That apparition leading me
