Western Skies 04:13
lyrics

Lyrics: Let the wind roll by When the mourning's over Let the land run dry Till the wreckage under How the morning breaks For the dying soldier After our mistake Set the ruining order, once again How the present makes Time into endless wonder And the moment takes Its divided holder And the promise states When the waiting's over All our lonely days Come back to be discovered, once again Out of the Western sky Out on that misty morning I'll let the rest abide Out on that windy morning I'll reside Let the wind roll by When the mourning's over Let the land run dry Till the wreckage under How the morning breaks For the dying soldier After our mistake Set the ruling order, once again Out of the Western sky Out on that misty morning I'll let the rest abide Out on that windy morning I'll reside Out on that windy morning I'll reside Out on that windy morning I'll reside

Suzanne 03:34

Lyrics: We stand at the edge of the road Hold hands and wait for the show Suzanne is already wasted again Blue jeans and hot-headed teens Come with their loaded machines Dance hard and post till the memories end I stand alone and watch that fire Go rattle off in rounds Don't believe in words They're laying on the ground Lost within the herd Don't ask. You've already seen Your past is all on the TV screen Suzanne is suddenly wasting away New pages, load while you go Maintain the thought that you already know Insane is often a meme with a name I stand alone and watch that fire Go rattle off in rounds Don't believe in words They're laying on the ground Lost within the herd Go rattle off your rounds Don't believe in words They're laying on the ground Lost within the herd Lost within the herd Lost within the herd We stand at the edge of the road Hold hands and wait for the show Suzanne is already wasted again

Lyrics: The left, the right Their wounded eyes are calling The men decide on who's to rise or fall in To wage a war or capture more of your things The red, the white, the blue tonight is falling And I'll be damned if I'm naïve And I'll be damned if I don't bleed I'm not an angel or a thief But I am A young American beast The sun will rise And bluer skies will fall in We'll then decide on who's to rise upon it To wage a war or capture more of your things The red, the white, the blue tonight is calling And I'll be damned if I'm naïve And I'll be damned if I don't bleed I'm not an angel or a thief But I am A young American beast And I'll be damned if I'm naïve And I'll be damned if I don't bleed I'm not an angel or a thief But I am A young American beast Oh I am A young American beast Oh I am A young American beast

Lyrics: I let my hair grow wild I danced around this burning circle All the while Yeah, there's a war outside I let my face grow long I danced around this burning cinder On the lawn Yet there's a war begun Said I'm a wanted man I built a wall of flame Returning on my way towards a promised land Until the break of day We dance around the same illusions I don't care if there's a war out there Because we're all inside We're in the madness of our mind Still in the madness of our mind Oh in the madness of our minds We spin around in circles, now I let my face grow long I danced around this burning circle On the lawn Yet there's a war begun And I'm a wanted man I built a wall of flame Returning on my way towards a promised land Until the break of day We dance around the same illusions I don't care if there's a war out there Because we're all inside We're in the madness of our mind Still in the madness of our mind Oh in the madness of our minds We spin around in circles, now

Lyrics: They waited for the war To see what life was for Surprise, surprise They waded off with it Lit the desert wind A pyre of fire An agent of the moon Kept the world in tune Arise, arise The battle's won within Revolutions end Defy, to find This mindless generation Don't really bother me Do what you want Say what you like This mindless generation Don't really bother me Do what you want Say what you like The symbol of the wall Sells a million more It's a lie, a lie Their faces on the page Sentimental rage Arrive, survive An agent of the moon Kept the world in tune Arise, arise The battle's won within Revolutions end Defy, to find This mindless generation Don't really bother me Do what you want Say what you like This mindless generation Don't really bother me Do what you want Say what you like Don't really bother me Don't really bother me This mindless generation Don't really bother me Don't really bother me This mindless generation Don't really bother me

Lyrics: Lay down your life Don't fear the reaper There's other lives to live Wait on your time Your eyes will reach her There in the light Of arresting peace So I made a sad song But it didn't take long Ran right through my brain But it didn't change much When the morning came up More lives gone in vain Swallow your pride Choke on the reefer There's other mounds to dig Wait on your time Your eyes will reach her There in the light Of arresting peace So I made a sad song But it didn't take long Ran right through my brain But it didn't change much When the morning came up More lives gone in vain

Lyrics: I hit the road last night again I heard the worst of what you said I left the world outside your bed I danced around your heart again I see the worries on your face I wear that smile I never waste I danced around your heart again I looked around for honest men I might if I could try I might if I could try But this life has past me by Woah woah oh Woah woah oh woah Woah woah oh After the rest of your days are fading We're still waiting here After the rest of your days are fading We're still waiting here After the rest of your days are fading We're still waiting here Here I lit the radio up again I heard a sound I never went I looked around for honest men I danced around your heart again I might if I could try I might if I could try But this life has past me by Woah woah oh Woah woah oh woah Woah woah oh After the rest of your days are fading We're still waiting here After the rest of your days are fading We're still waiting here After the rest of your days are fading We're still waiting here Oh woah Oh woah After the rest of your days are fading We're still waiting here After the rest of your days are fading We're still waiting here

Lyrics: All my life I wanted answers All my days that I remember For a weary mind, it's now or never Conscious and alive, the moments enter Hear me rhyme In the wind we roam Tell the eye Listen to your heart And home On that road we end as stone Or light On that very night, I'll know you better Voices and the light of dying embers For a weary mind, it's now or never Conscious and alive, the moments enter Hear me rhyme In the wind we roam Tell the eye listen to your heart and home On that road we end as stone Or light On that road we end as stone Or light Hear me rhyme In the wind we roam Tell the eye listen to your heart and home On that road we end as stone Or light On that road we end as stone Or light On that road we end as stone Or light

Lyrics: In waves the water flows So high I lost my head Tears down the castle walls All along I'm waiting For my bed Burn on the feral sun So hot, it roasts all day Bear down, the casket calls All along they're waiting For your head So high I think I'll lose my head So high I think I'll lose my head So high I think I'll lose my head Didn't wish it on the morning Didn't wish it on a rainbow Didn't wish it on a caul For, there's a river on the front deck There's a mizzen off the mooring There's a woman on the wrong yard Beyond the castle walls Farewell the battle's done So long it wasted days Dear love, the water's flowing So high I think I'll lose my head So high I think I'll lose my head So high I think I'll lose my head So high I think I'll lose my head Didn't wish it on the morning Didn't wish it on a rainbow Didn't wish it on a caul For, there's a river on the front deck There's a mizzen off the mooring There's a woman on the wrong yard Beyond the castle walls

Lyrics: I'd like to wipe those clouds away I'd like to reach beyond the maze The majesty held there beside the rain Our memories of following A tapestry revolving Around the world Throughout the endless day I hear the water Rolling down your windowpane I see the tear drops falling from your chin again I read the secrets Locked inside your memories Of the rain Of the rain Of the rain Of the rain It's in the moments of a trance That vision answers our demands A laden word without a reference I let the wind pass by again Out of the mystic opulence The redirection of immortal things I hear the water Rolling down your windowpane I see the tear drops falling from your chin again I read the secrets Locked inside your memories Of the rain Of the rain Of the rain Of the rain I hear the water Rolling down your windowpane I see the tear drop falling from your chin again I read the secrets Locked inside your memories Of the rain Of the rain Of the rain Of the rain I'll have to love the rain

Lyrics: Suddenly it seems to me I can't rely I can't believe in you It's true Cuz when I focus on the reasons All the dreams you feed to me are used It's true Can't stop a woman Can't stop a woman Can't stop a woman from ruining my world Can't stop a woman Can't stop a woman Can't stop a woman from ruining my world You can try but you can't stop You can try but you can't stop You can try but you can't stop Suddenly you feel for me now All the world's a casualty of love Of love Underneath, you're evil woman Hide your face and leave at least enough Enough Cuz when I focus on the reasons Your the dreams that mean to me alone Can't stop a woman Can't stop a woman Can't stop a woman from ruining my world Can't stop a woman Can't stop a woman Can't stop a woman from ruining my world Can't stop a woman Can't stop a woman Can't stop a woman from ruining my world Can't stop a woman Can't stop a woman Can't stop a woman from ruining my world Suddenly it seems to me I can't rely, can't believe in you It's true

about

The 12 songs on "close" represent observations of things that have happened within ordinary daily life during that time as well as larger events on the world stage. They are concerned with where we are as a civilization as well as where we might be headed. For on that road, we end as stone or light.
