Anywhere Out Of The World
We scale the face of reason to find at least one sign
that could reveal the true dimension of life lest we forget.
And maybe it's easier to withdraw from life with all of it's misery and wretched lies.
Away from harm.
We lay by cool clear waters and gazed into the sun.
And like the moths great imperfection succumbed to her fatal charms.
And maybe it's me who dreams unrequited love, the victim of fools who stand in line.
Away from harm.
In our vain pursuit of life for ones own end,
will this crooked path ever cease to end.

In The Wake Of Adversity
Hey Patrice don't cry they have no reason to harm you at all.
They don't realize that the angels surround you with light.
They don't understand their narrow ways defeat them where they stand.
They don't realize you hide your sadness behind a painted smile.
Ignorance, that blind old fool who steers a wayward path,
has set the course on which we sail into a night of uncertainty.
Following the stars that make their way across the sky,
Valuing the love that lends grace to our hearts,
we sail.

Xavier
Fair Rosanna your vagrancy's a familiar tale.
Fraught with danger, the lives you led were judged profane.
Hatred enfolds us, inculcates our minds with it's heresy.
Laymen enfold us, clemency arise to set you free.
Fate, although Xavier has prayed that life giving waters may rain
down on the souls of men to cure them of their ways.
These were the sins of Xavier's past, hung like jewels in the forest of veils.
Deep in the heart where the mysteries emerge
Eve bears the stigma of original sin.
Freedom's so hard, when we are all bound by laws
etched in the scheme of natures own hand, unseen by all those who fail
in their pursuit of fate.
Although Xavier has prayed that life giving waters may rain
down on the souls of men to cure them of their ways.
And as the night turns into day will the sun illuminate your way,
or will your nightmares come home to stay.
Xavier's love lies in chains.
These were the sins of Xavier's past,
hung like jewels in the forest of veils.
