Fly (Demo)
Tracks 1, 2, 6, 7
fly away
oh, fly away, high above
solo of a caged bird
sings in the dark, a voice unheard
song of the never-ending tide
song of the fragrant wind she rides
in dreams and fantasies
grows her wings while she's chained down
like an angel with broken bones
flies away until daybreak
wakes to find she can never
fly away, my little tune
oh, escape the bonds and broken heart
reach out and take the hands of fate
look up and marvel the pearly gate
guess it was all a beautiful lie
chains lock the door to the sky
until we dream and dream again
grows her wings while she's chained down
like an angel with broken bones
flies away until daybreak
wakes to find she can never die
ooh, i found her voice in the shadows
ooh, i found her voice and set it free
grows her wings while she's chained down
like an angel with broken bones
flies away until daybreak
wakes to find she can never
fly away
fly away
3.The Resurrection
come close and tell me a story
do you remember how it goes?
it was perfect in the crucible
before we started to burn
still water and an open world
closed on a winter's day
do you remember what you said?
you resurrect memories
of the way it used to be
as if you touched
the flames that burned it all
let go
and it tears at my soul again
when i see where we used to play
and we'd sing
for we were young and unhurt
do you remember how we laughed?
i resurrect memories
of the way i used to be
as if i could
pull back from fire that has
gone out
summertime, and it doesn't get easy
don't you cry - you can't turn back time
you resurrect memories
of the way it used to be
as if i could
burn it all away, at last
let go
4. Crimson (Demo)
cold and gray, the lie behind your smile
promises, dark waters in your eyes
crimson red, an amorous serpent weaves
a painful tale - i can't get away
it's washing around me
ooh, come to me my stolen pride
denied your salvation
not afraid to see the other side
lie awake and lying in your dreams
haunting me, a kiss for every tear
crimson red, denied my last escape
mourn my love, incapable of hate
ooh, come to me my stolen pride
denied your salvation
not afraid to see the other side
why do i never learn
what you have always known
like frost in rays of sun
disappear in crimson red
ooh, come to me my stolen pride
denied your salvation
not afraid to see the other side
eyes to the heavens
stand and face the crimson tide
betrayed by my devotion
i see the other side
the other side
the other side
5. Worthy of an Early Death
seems like just another day
caught in a life i've thrown away
when you smile it's just another game
anger fills the room like ash
settling over our fears and past
everyone else is under there with you
i refuse to be
all the things you accuse me of
am i worthy?
lost my trust and lost my fear
cries for help fall on deaf ears
you can't give what you never received
lips like glass, eyes like marbles
is she really alive?
oh, god, what have -
what have you done?
i refuse to be
all the things you accuse me of
am i worthy?
so hate me 'cause i see the beauty
in all this pain you send right to me
so hold me when the night is over
am i worthy of another try this time?
i refuse to be
all the things you accuse me of
am i worthy?
i refuse to let the past go
it fuels me in my darkest moments
now i see
your luminary dream
luminary dream
