Alan Parsons Project - The Raven
The clock struck midnight
And through my sleeping
I heard a tapping at my door
I looked but nothing
Lay in the darkness
And so I turned inside once more
To my amazement
There stood a raven
Whose shadow hung above my door
Then through the silence
It spoke the one word
That I shall hear for evermore
Nevermore
Thus quoth the raven, nevermore
And still the raven remains in my room
No matter how much I implore
No words can soothe him
No prayer remove him
And I must hear for evermore
Quoth the raven, nevermore
Thus quoth the raven, nevermore
Quoth the raven, nevermore
Thus quoth the raven, nevermore
Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore, never
Nevermore, nevermore, never
Nevermore, nevermore, never
Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore, never
Nevermore, nevermore, never
Nevermore, nevermore, never
Pain Of Salvation - Curiosity
Your love is beautiful.
Your love is sensual.
My love will puncture your skin.
My love goes all the way in.
Your love is poetry.
My love is sodomy.
Your love is Everything.
My love is Anything.
We believe it's personality,
but it's really sexuality.
We put faith in love and honesty,
but the stuff that makes our history and sets us free
is curiosity.
My love is physical.
A shameless animal.
One with all riding the wave.
A childish lust feeling it's way.
We believe it's personality,
but it's really sexuality.
We put faith in love and honesty,
but the stuff that makes our history and sets us free
is curiosity.
You say love's divine.
(my love is beautiful/your love will puncture your skin
/we believe it's personality)
Well baby, so is mine.
See the only time I hear you take the name of the Lord
is when you're tied to the bed with your face against the head board.
So, do you take it in vain?
Then why would you take it again and again?
We believe it's personality,
but it's really sexuality.
We put faith in love and honesty,
but the stuff that makes our history and sets us free
is curiosity.
Tune - Crackpot
You hate my face
You think I'm mad in the brainspace
You hate my face
You think I'm mad in the brainspace
You say I'll fail if I don't seize the day
You're tired of my ignorance
You want me to chase
Your pretty friends in the rat race
But I don't feel I am part of the team
And I'm not a flesh and blood machine
You'd like to know why
I get so jaded, cold and aching
This brave new world is for the taking
But I'm occupied by things you just can't see
You wonder why I
Still complicate when it's so easy
Still slay my demons like diseases
I cannot face this new reality
But I'm just a crackpot
Don't really care if you like it or not
Another man in my head I've got
You can't halt my crazy train of thought
I'm just a crackpot
Pretty immune to the pills you've brought
Way out of line and, man, I like it a lot
Can't hurt me, please take your best shot
I'm just a crackpot
Trying hard to find a place to call my spot
No office space, no Mac, no iPod
Don't go to clubs and Jobs is not my god.
I'm just a crackpot

Aeneas - Long Way Home
I had faces to cover
When I lost all my brothers
I felt a cold shiver
Saw 'em crossing the river
Brought fire to somewhere
Built bridges to nowhere
I'm on my way back home...
Sleepless night, buried alive
Frozen heart
Can't close my eyes
The horror... the horror...
Welcome sorrow in my fuckin' life
Afraid of tomorrow
Of yesterday's fight
Welcome sorrow in my life
Afraid of tomorrow
Of yesterday's fight
I made new friends
They help me now
To ease my pain ...
Awake again
In a world of endless rain
Dreaming of the other side
Where my fellows wait
But here I am
Where no one knows me
Not the same
That I used to be
Used to be, used to be
Could it be wrong, could it be right?
I believed your cunning lies
Could it be wrong, could it be right?
You are a devil in disguise
Could it be wrong, could it be right?
Call me a hero
But I ask myself what we were fighting for
I try to smile
When I look into your eyes
But everything inside me died
You'll never see me cry
So here I am
A million miles away from you
Away from you
Faraway, faraway...
Could it be wrong, could it be right?
I believed your cunning lies
Could it be wrong, could it be right?
You are a devil in disguise
Could it be wrong, could it be right?
Call me a hero
But I ask myself what we were fighting for
Nowhere to hide
Under the sky
Deep in the night
No land in sight
Nothing to lose
Ready to shoot
To tell you the truth
Is all I can do
Far too late
For my escape
Far too late
For my escape
Forgive me
Forgive me
Forgive me
Forgive me
Forgive me
Forgive me
Can't forgive the way you treat me!
Can't forget what you did to me!
Cannot forgive, cannot forget
Will not feel myself for the rest of my life!
Forgive me
Forgive me
Forget me
Forget me
I wander about
Alone in the mist
Lose all my doubts
I will not be missed...
And I know it and I feel it
And I ask myself, and I ask myself...
Would it be wrong, would it be right
To leave it all behind?
Would it be wrong, would it be right
To drown in golden light?
Would it be wrong, Would it be right?
To make a new start
I climb the stairway step by step
To reach what lies beyond
I'm alive and newborn
I'm alive and newborn
I'm alive and newborn
Don't remember anything
At the Gates of Paradise.
Riverside - Conceiving You
I've been watching you
Waiting for the right
Moment to make
The first move
Do you wanna know
Why I keep avoiding your eyes
And why I'm running away
It's crazy, I know
I've been conceiving you for too long
Or maybe I'm
Destined to be alone
Or maybe there's someone who
Will understand
That I'm not able
To share my world
I'm still running away
It's crazy, I know
I've been conceiving you for too long
If only I could change all things around
Still conceiving you all along
Still conceiving you
I've been conceiving you for too long
If only I could change all things around
I've been conceiving you for too long
I've grown used to that
Still conceiving you all along
Still conceiving you ...
Sylvan - God of Rubbish
That's far too different
Too insignificant,
You know
What are those harmonies?
Progressive?
Useless complexity...
Watch out, I'll come!
Watch out, I'll show you!
Watch out my friend!
I should ignore you!
No frippery!
Please not artistic!
And not profound!
Keep it simplistic!
Airy-fairy tales...
I'm not sluggish, I'm the God of rubbish
I'm a crap creator, tickled pink gold saver
I am great, God knows it!
Kick it fast, compose shit!
I'm a billion brilliant billboard dream...
Come out and here!
Come out and listen!
My music sells!
So grasp my wisdom!
No symphony!
Just for the money!
King radio
Will kiss you, honey!
Airy-fairy tales...
I'm not sluggish, I'm the God of rubbish
I'm a crap creator, tickled pink gold saver
I am great, God knows it!
Kick it fast, compose shit!
I'm a billion brilliant billboard dream...
Interested in success?
Come baby, kiss my ass!
I'm not sluggish, I'm the God of rubbish
I'm a crap creator, tickled pink gold saver
I am great, God knows it!
Kick it fast, compose shit!
I'm a billion brilliant billboard dream...
I'm not sluggish, I'm the God of rubbish
I'm a crap crease,
Did I start to sleep?
Watch the clouds drift by...
Look out and I feel,
Small and so unreal,
I think of me
Sight's not clear, I am losing me,
I'm begging, please,
Who can hear me?
Flying to the stars, way down or far up?
Feel the time runs out...
Thinking of the past,
If this day's my last
Who'll think of me?
In my eyes
I fly a long way back in time...
And I fly
In the midst of bluish skies...
See me
As my flight comes to a close
See me
When I dared to let it go
In my eyes where the wind provokes my tears of shame
In my eyes where my memories take the fuel away
While I fly
See the man that I became
Losing height
As the pressure rises again
See me,
But I cannot understand
See me,
When the choice lay in my hands
In my eyes when the wind provokes my tears of shame
In my eyes where my memories take the fuel away
In my eyes rage the storms that make my landing fail
In my eyes see the shadows of my vapour trail
Then faces, in a sort of flashback
Hey the faces, don't you stare at me!
The faces mumble words... I lose track
And the faces whisper dazzlingly
The faces, how the hell they've found me?
But the faces know the answer well
The faces, quite a few that I see
What the faces round me try to tell?
All faces, in a kind of weird show
All these faces, I know them personally
But there's one face that I really don't know
And this lonely hollow face that's me!
Now that I flew back here... and here I cry
All this time
Felt my emptiness inside
See me
As my plane is falling low
See me
As the sight begins to grow
In my eyes when the wind provokes my tears of shame
In my eyes where my memories take the fuel away
In my eyes rage the storms that make my landing fail
In my eyes see the shadows of my vapour trail
Flying from my past, way up and above
Leave the time behind
Heading for the stars, for the ones I love,
I think of you
Do you dream or think of me?
I'm hoping please, can you hear me?
