run down a street where the glass shows that summer has gone
age in the doorways resenting the pace of the dawn
all of them standing in line all of them waiting for time
from time the great healer the machine messiah is born
cables that carry the life to the cities we build
threads that link diamonds of light to the satanic mills
oh to see in every way that we feel it every day
and know that maybe we'll change offered the chance
to finally unlearn our lessons and alter our stance
friends make their way into systems of chance
friends make their way of escape into systems of chance
escape to freedom i need to be there
waiting and watching the tables are turning
i'm waiting and watching i need to be there
i care to see them walk away and to be there when they say
they will return
machine machine messiah
the mindless search for a higher controller
take me to the fire and hold me
show me the strength of your singular eye
history dictating symptoms of ruling romance
claws at the shores of the water upon which we dance
all of us standing in line all of us waiting for time
to feel it all the way and to be there when they say
they know that maybe we'll change offered the chance
to finally unlearn our lessons and alter our stance
machine machine messiah take me into the fire
hold me machine messiah and show me the strength of your singular eye
track two: white car
i see a man in a white car move like a ghost on the skyline
take all your dreams and you drive them away man in a white car
track three: does it really happen
that's what you say could it really happen to you
does that explain this is the season for this display
to take a look in time to move together
time is the measure before it's begun slips away like running water
live for the pleasure live by the gun heritage for son and daughter
down to the slaughter up for the fun up for anything
could this be true does it ever happen to you
and can you prove that wheels go round in reasons
you take a step in time to move together
time is the measure before it's begun slips away like running water
live for the pleasure live by the gun heritage for son and daughter
down to the slaughter up for the fun up for anything
you walk the way you take the path to be assured
you draw a graph the scale you use is all on black
be brave the weight will make the heat
there is no way to take it back
time is the measure before it's begun slips away like running water
live for the pleasure live by the gun heritage for son and daughter
down to the slaughter up for the fun up for anything
up for up for up for anything
that's what you say could it really happen to you
does that explain this very reason for this display
to take a look in time to move together together

track four: into the lens
memories how they fade so fast look back there is no escape
tied down now you see too late lovers they will never wait

there by the waterside here where the lens is wide
you and me by the sea taken in tranquility
taken taken so easily to pass in to glass reality
transform to trasfer to energy
take heart i could never let you go and you always let the feeling show
lovers all how you never broke your heart how you lose them if you feel the feeling start

track five: run through the light
i asked my love to give me shelter and all she offered me were dreams
of all the moments spent together that move like neverending streams
run through the light now everything is alright
run through the light of day run to the light of night
and every movement made together till every thought was just the same
and all the pieces fit forever in the game
the light run through the light now everything is alright
run through the light of day you run to the light of night
run to the light run to the light run through the light to the light
i asked my love to give me shelter and all she offered me were dreams
(run through the light)
of all the moments spent together (run to the light)
that move like neverending streams (run through the light)
(run to the light)
welcome to the light now everything is okay
you run through the light of night
you come to the light of day
track six: tempus fugit
(yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes)
born in the night she would run like a leopard
that freaks at the sight of a mind close beside herself
and the nearer i came how the country would change
she was using the landscape to hide herself
more in the mind than the body this feeling
a sense of the end like a circular line that is drawn at an angle
i see when i'm with you to navigate waters and finally answer to yes
if you were there you would want to be near me
innocence you withhold the materials
and though nothing would really be living
it would shock your fall into landing light
in the north sky time flies fast to the morning
the cold of the dawn it meant nothing to us
you were keeping your best situation an answer to yes
(yes yes) and the moment i see you
(yes yes) its so good to be near you
(yes yes) and the feeling you give me
(yes yes) makes me wnt to be with you
from the moment you tell me YES!
if you could see all the roads i have traveled
towards some unusable last equilibrium
run like an athlete and die like a dead beaten speed freak an answer to all of your answers to yes
in the north sky time flies fast to the morning
the cold of the dawn it meant nothing to us
you were keeping your best situation an answer to yes
(yes yes) and the moment i see you
(yes yes) its so good to be near you
(yes yes) and the feeling you give me
(yes yes) makes me wnt to be with you
(yes yes) if we wait for an answer
(yes yes) will the silence be broken
(yes yes) should we wait for an answer
do we leave it unspoken
