Lyrics:
Sunlight coming through the haze No gaps in the blinds To let it inside The bed is unmade, Some music still plays
TV, yeah it's always on The flicker on the screen A movie actress screams I'm basking the shit flowing out of it
I'm stoned in the mall again Terminally bored Shuffling round the stores And shoplifting is getting so last year's thing
X-Box is a god to me A finger on the switch My mother is a bitch My father gave up ever trying to talk to me
Don't try engaging me The vaguest of shrugs The prescription drugs You'll never find a person inside
My face is Mogadon Curiosity has given up on me I'm tuning out desires The pills are on the rise
How can I be sure I'm here? The pills that I've been taking confuse me I need to know that someone sees that There's nothing left, I simply am not here
I'm through with pornography The acting is lame The action is tame Explicitly dull Arousal annulled
Your mouth should be boarded up Talking all day with nothing to say Your shallow proclamations All misinformation
My friend says he wants to die He's in a band, they sound like Pearl Jam Their clothes are all black The music is crap
In school I don't concentrate And sex is kinda fun, but just another one Of all the empty ways of using up the day
How can I be sure I'm here? The pills that I've been taking confuse me I need to know that someone sees that There's nothing left, I simply am not here
Bipolar disorder Can't deal with this boredom Bipolar disorder Can't deal with this boredom
You don't try to be liked You don't mind You feel no sun You steal a gun To kill time
You're somewhere You're nowhere You don't care You catch the breeze You still the leaves So now where?

There's a line snaking down my mirror, splintered glass distorts my face and though the light is strong and strange it can't illuminate the musty corners of this place. There is a lofty, lonely, Lohengrenic castle in the clouds; I draw my murky meanings there but seven years' dark luck is just around the corner and in the shadows lurks the spectre of Despair.
A cracked mirror 'mid the drapes of the landing: split image, labored understanding... I'm only trying to find a place to hide my home.
I've lived in houses composed of glass where every movement is charted but now the monitor screens are dark and I can't tell if silent eyes are there. My words are spiders upon the page, they spin out faith, hope and reason - but are they meet and just, or only dust gathering about my chair? Sometimes I get the feeling that there's someone else there: the faceless watcher makes me uneasy; I can feel him through the floorboards, and His presence is creepy. He informs me that I shall be expelled. What is that but out of and into? I don't know the nature of the door that I'd go through, I don't know the nature of the nature that I am inside ....
I've lived in houses of brick and lead where all emotion is sacred and if you want to devour the fruit you must first sniff at the fragrance and lay your body before the shrine with poems and posies and papers or, if you catch the ruse, you'll have to choose to stay, a monk, or leave, a vagrant. What is this place you call home? Is it a sermon or a confession? Is it the chalice that you use for protection? Is it really only somewhere you can stay? Is it a rule-book or a lecture? Is it a beating at the hands of your Protector? Does the idol have feet of clay?
Home is what you make it, so my friends all say, but I rarely see their homes in these dark days. Some of them are snails and carry houses on their backs; others live in monuments which, one day, will be racks. I keep my home in place with sellotape and tin-tacks; but I still feel there's some other Force here....
He who cracks the mirrors and moves the walls keeps staring through the eye-slits of the portraits in my hall. He ravages my library and taps the telephone. I've never actually seen Him, but I know He's in my home and if he goes away, I can't stay here either. I believe...er ...I think... well, I don't know ......
I only live in one room at a time, but all of the walls are ears and all the windows, eyes. Everything else is foreign, 'Home' is my wordless chant : mmmmmaah! Give it a chance!
I am surrounded by flesh and bone, I am a temple of living, I am a hermit, I am a drone, and I am boring out a place to be. With secret garlands about my head unearthly silence is broke, the room is growing dark, and in the stark light I see a face I know. Could this be the guy who never shows the cracked mirror what he's feeling, merely mumbles prayers to the ground where he's kneeling: "Home is home is home is home is home is home is me!"? All you people looking for your houses, don't throw your weight around, you might break your glasses and if you do, you know you just can't see, and then how are you to find the dawning of the day? Day is just a word I use to keep the dark at bay and people are imaginary, nothing else exists except the room I'm sitting in, and, of course, the all-pervading mist - sometimes I wonder if even that's real.
Maybe I should de-louse this place, maybe I should de-place this louse, maybe I'll maybe my life away in the confines of this silent house.
Sometimes it's very scary here, sometimes it's very sad, sometimes I think I'll disappear,sometimes I think ..... I....Karn Evil 9 (3rd Impression)Losmi MM2019-03-21 | Artist: Emerson Lake & Palmer Album: Brain Salad Surgery Genre: Progressive Rock Artwork: Hans Ruedi Giger Year: 1973
**************** Man alone, born of stone, Will stamp the dust of time His hands strike the flame of his soul; Ties a rope to a tree and hangs the Universe Until the winds of laughter blows cold.
Fear that rattles in men's ears And rears its hideous head Dread... Death... in the wind...
Man of steel pray and kneel With fever's blazing torch Thrust in the face of the night; Draws a blade of compassion Kissed by countless Kings Whose jewelled trumpet words blind his sight.
Walls that no man thought would fall The altars of the just Crushed... Dust... in the wind...
No man yields who flies in my ship Danger! Let the bridge computer speak Stranger! Load your program. I am yourself.
No computer stands in my way Only blood can cancel my pain Guardians of a nuclear dawn Let the maps of war be drawn.
Rejoice! Glory is ours! Our young men have not died in vain, Their graves need no flowers The tapes have recorded their names.
I am all there is Negative! Primitive! Limited! I let you live! But I gave you life What else could you do? To do what was right I'm perfect! Are you?Van Der Graaf Generator - A Plague Of Lighthouse KeepersLosmi MM2019-03-21 | Artist: Van Der Graaf Generator Album: Pawn Hearts Genre: Progressive Rock Year: 1971
Still waiting for my saviour, storms tear me limb from limb; my fingers feel like seaweed...I'm so far out I'm too far in. I am a lonely man, my solitude is true, my eyes have borne stark witness and now my knights are numbered, too.
I've seen the smiles on dead hands, the stars shine, but they're not for me.
I prophesy disaster and then I count the cost... I shine but, shining, dying, I know that I am almost lost. On the table lies blank paper and my tower is built on stone; I only have blunt scissors, I only have the bluntest home. I've been the witness and the seal of death lingers in the molten wax that is my head.
When you see the skeletons of sailing-ship spars sinking low You'll begin to wonder if the points of all the ancients myths are solemnly directed straight at you...
II Pictures/Lighthouse (2:33 - 5:38)
[Instrumental]
III (Eyewitness) (5:38 - 6:52)
No time now for contrition, the time for that's long past, the walls are thin as tissue and if I talk I'll crack the glass. So I only think on how it might have been, locked in silent monologue, in silent scream.
I am much too tired to speak and as the waves crash on the bleak stones of the tower I start to freak and find that I am overcome....
IV (S.H.M.) (6:52 - 8:34)
"Unreal, unreal" ghost helmsmen scream and fall in through the sky, not breaking through my seagull shrieks -no breaks until I die. The spectres scratch on window-slits, the hollowed faces and mindless grins are only intent on destroying what they've lost.
I crawl the wall till steepness ends in the vertical fall; my pail has sailed into the sea -no joking hopes at dawn. White bone shine in the iron-jaw mask, lost mastheads pierce the freezing dark and parallel my isolated tower... no paraffin for the flame, no harbour left to gain.
V (Presence of the Night) (8:34 - 10:38)
'Alone, alone' the ghosts all call, pinpoint me in the light. The only life I feel at all is the presence of the night.
VI Kosmos Tours (10:38 - 13:39)
Would you cry if I died? Would you cry if I died? Would you catch the final words of mine? Would you catch my words? I know that there's no time, I know that there's no rhyme, false signs find me! I don't want to hate, I just want to grow; why can't I let me live and be free? ...but I die very slowly alone!
I know no more ways, I am so afraid, myself won't let me just be myself and so I am completely alone!
The maelstrom of my memory is a vampire and it feeds on me; now, staggering madly, over the brink I fall.
VII ((Custard's) Last stand) (13:39 - 16:25)
Lighthouses might house the key but can I reach the door?
I want to walk on the sea so that I may better find a shore; but how can I ever keep my feet dry? I scan the horizon, I must keep my eyes on all parts of me.
Looking back on the years it seems that I have lost my way: Like a dog in the night I have run to a manger, now I am the stranger I stay in. Ah, well.
All of the grief I have seen leaves me chasing solitary peace; But I hold experience in my head. I'm too close to the light,. I don't think I see right, for I blind me.
VIII (The Clot Thickens) (16:25 - 19:17)
Where is the God that guides my hand? How can the hands of others reach me? When will I find what I grope for? Who is going to teach me? I am me / me are we / we can't see any way out of here. Crashing sea, a trophied history: chance has lost my Guinevere...
I don't want to be one wave in the water but sea will drag me deep: one more haggard drowned man.
I can see the lemmings coming, but I know I'm just a man. Do I join or do I founder? Which can is the best I may?
IX (Land's end / We go now) (19:18 - 23:12)
Oceans drifting sideways, I am pulled into the spell, I feel you around me, I know you well. Stars slice horizons where the lines stand much too stark; I feel I am drowning - hands stretch in the dark.
Camps of panoply and majesty, what is Freedom of Choice? Where do I stand in the pageantry, whose is my voice? It doesn't feel so very bad now, I think the end is the start, begin to feel very glad now: All things are a part All things are apart All things are a part.Van Der Graaf Generator - Man-ErgLosmi MM2019-03-21 | Artist: Van Der Graaf Generator Album: Pawn Hearts Genre: Progressive Rock Year: 1971
The killer lives inside me; yes, I can feel him move. Sometimes he's lightly sleeping in the quiet of his room; but then his eyes will rise and stare through mine, he'll speak my words and slice my mind inside. Yes, the killer lives.
The angels live inside me, I can feel them smile; their presence strokes and soothes the tempest in my mind and their love can heal the wounds that I have wrought. They watch me as I go to fall; well, I know I shall be caught while the angels live.
How can I be free? How can I get help? Am I really me? Am I someone else?
But stalking in my cloisters hang the acolytes of gloom and Death's Head throws his cloak into the corner of my room and I am doomed. But laughing in my courtyard play the pranksters of my youth and solemn, waiting Old Man in the gables of the roof: he tells me truth.
And I, too, live inside me and very often don't know who I am; I know I'm not a hero;well, I hope that I'm not damned. I'm just a man, and killers, angels, all are these, dictators, saviours, refugees in war and peace as long as Man lives...
I'm just a man, and killers, angels, all are these: dictators, saviours, refugees.Van Der Graaf Generator - Lemmings (Including Cog)Losmi MM2019-03-20 | Artist: Van Der Graaf Generator Album: Pawn Hearts Genre: Progressive Rock Year: 1971
I stood alone upon the highest cliff-top, looked down, around, and all that I could see were those that I would dearly love to share with crashing on quite blindly to the sea.... I tried to ask what game this was but knew I would not play it: the voice, as one, as no-one, came to me....
"We have looked upon the heroes and they are found wanting; we have looked hard across the land but we can see no dawn; we have now dared to sear the sky but we are still bleeding; we are drawing near to the cliffs, now we can hear the call.
The clouds are piled in mountain-shapes, there is no escape except to go forward. Don't ask us for an answer now, it's far too late to bow to that convention. What course is there left but to die?
We have looked upon the High Kings, found them less than mortals: their names are dust before the just march of our young, new law. Minds stumbling strong, we hurtle on into the dark portal; No-one can halt our final vault into the unknown maw.
And as the Elders beat their brows they know that it is really far too late now to stop us, for if the sky is seeded death what is the point in catching breath? Expel it. What cause is there left but to die in searching of something we're really not too sure of?"
What cause is there left but to die? I really don't know why.
I know our ends may be soon but why do you make them sooner? Time may finally prove only the living move her and no life lies in the quicksand.
Yes, I know it's out of control, out of control: greasy machinery slides on the rails, young minds and bodies on steel spokes impaled. Cogs tearing bones, cogs tearing bones; iron-throated monsters are forcing the screams, mind and machinery box-press the dreams.
But there still is time....
Cowards are they who run today, the fight is beginning... no war with knives, fight with our lives, lemmings can teach nothing; death offers no hope, we must grope for the unknown answer, unite our blood, abate the flood, avert the disaster.
There's other ways than screaming in the mob: that makes us merely cogs of hatred. Look to the why and where we are, look to yourselves and the stars,yes, and in the end what choice is there left but to live in the hope of saving our children's children's little ones?
What choice is there left but to live to save the little ones?
What choice is there left but to try?Pain of Salvation- StressLosmi MM2015-10-06 | Artist: Pain Of Salvation Album: Falling Home Genre: Progressive Rock Year: 2014
Lyrics:
(Watching corners and crossings Watching all the red lights Watching the stress Watching beggars and bankers and rushing cars I'm drowning in this mess)
Help me! Rescue me! Save me! Set me free!
It is strange - among all people I feel alone. Very strange - despite the sun I'm cold to the bone!
Up on the rooftops I feel alive Lovely detached from the human hive. Up on the rooftops I feel so free. Far from the city that's suffocating me.
Is this what we want?
I believe: beneath the surface we turn to stone. Can't you see? We meet our neighbours over the phone I'm awake - watch me! I'll escape - watch me! If this is progress help me to regress!
Alone by the ocean I feel alive Lovely detached from the human hive. Alone by the ocean I feel so free. Far from the city that's suffocating me.
You live too shallow, act too deep! Fail to sow but proudly reap!
Alright
...and you still need more! Indians show us where we're from Stress indicates what we've all become!
(Watching corners and crossings Watching all the red lights Watching the stress Watching beggars and bankers and rushing cars I'm drowning in this mess)
In time you'll awake! In time you'll escape! In time you'll awake! You'll see what's at stake!
Is this what we want? Is this what we need? Well Is it? Is it? Is it? Guess it is No? Is it?

In a place where the river banks draw near Men work a heading to the west. Where streams like giants' fingers close From the hills to the emptiness beneath, To the depths of the mere.
Morning light, midwinter sun Underneath; the river song.
In a place where the river banks draw close Men break stone to make new ground. Light and air are hard down deep to find Engines work to hold the water back To the edge of the mere.
'Run boys run toward the light; The river's in, the tunnel's in'; Here she comes The sleeper wakes, Ten thousand years She lay in wait for this.
Every night their dreams were filled With the fear of the river breaking in. But this was not a river god, This was something rising from the deep, From the depths of the mere.
'Run boys run make for the light, Save yourselves, the tunnel's in.' Here he comes The first rebreather, Like a mummer, Like a souler (Come to save them.)
Rising up to the height of the river At flood tide. Engines fail, lost to the water As silence falls.
This man will walk into darkness, One foot in front of the other, Into the unsounded depths Of the heading; Into the fifth circle of hell, With no light to lead him home, Man is all alone at the end.
This man will walk into darkness Without fear of what lurks in the shadows. Watching the surface grow quite still, Waiting for hope at the ninth hour, Man all alone in the darkness. Here he comes: the first rebreather.Big Big Train Uncle JackLosmi MM2015-10-02 | Artist: Big Big Train Album: English Electric (Part One) Genre: Progressive Rock Year: 2012

Take the path to the top of the hill follow the trail, look to the west. Alfred had me made (or made me again). Others came before, to Oram’s Arbour
A river flowing from the chalkhills through the water meadows and the open fields. Walls were made and streets were laid down, halls and houses, schools and churches.
The East Prospect of Winchester from the hill, go high enough see further; the making of England; the long song. the story in the stones and the lie of the land.

Venetian expertise Inspired by Titian Which he modified Fine tuned along dutch lines
He’s painting revenge Embittered by lack of success
With signature techniques Attention to details And fine tell tale brushstrokes of badger and sable
Expressing contempt For greedy dealers Getting rich At the artist’s expense
Infamous forger and restorer Judas Unrepentant branded a charming old lovable rogue Judas Unrepentant Hey Judas Unrepentant Hey Judas!
His time bombs are in place And anachronisms Clues pointing to the truth If ever they are X-rayed
Wrote legends in lead white to trick the experts And hoodwink Hoodwink the trained eye
Infamous forger and restorer Judas Unrepentant branded a charming old lovable rogue Judas Unrepentant Hey Judas Unrepentant Hey Judas Unrepentant
Establishing provenance Acquiring old frames with Christies numbers Then paints a picture in the same style Specialising in minor works by major artists
All rise Thirteen watercolours by Samuel Palmer Have proven to be his undoing And so he confesses then he is arrested Charged him with conspiracy to defraud
Years of chain smoking and breathing in fumes from restorations The stress of the court case had taken its toll His trial was halted due to ill health
So now we can all buy Real genuine fakes That’s posthumous fame It’s always the same

Took a little time to find the past to walk the roads we used to know that lead us home.
Houses in terraced rows that crowd around the railway yard, just sidings now, all overgrown.
Above the high fields clouds are grey and gold; it’s as good a place as anywhere.
War came and fires were seen from 30 miles away; a city burned, they wait in line, out in the high fields, summoned by bells, church; school; factory; home.
Along the London Road across the park at Spinney Hill, sledging in the snow, we had our scrapes and our fights, it was part of the deal.
Time moved quickly then things were changing all around, the world came to this small world, over the hillsides and rooftops, different stories were heard.
We moved on found a new place, we remembered the days of our younger lives, we moved on. Long years pass we walk the roads we used to know, carried with the rain that falls.
A stone’s throw from the line some of the old places survive, a golden thread in time, a stream running down from the hills into the heart of the high fields.
So come on now, you know it’s alright, those were the days of our younger lives.
Early evening, midweek in a market town, walking down those same old roads we know.Big Big Train - Upton HeathLosmi MM2015-10-02 | Artist: Big Big Train Album: English Electric (Part One) Genre: Progressive Rock Year: 2012

Part 1: Brookbottom Colliery, Heanor, Derbyshire, 1842
Extract from Sub Commissioner’s report, 1842 on the conditions of children and young people employed in the collieries.
“His name is Godfrey Fletcher Eleven years old Worked these pits for nearly three years Does not know the alphabet Cannot read in the least”
The pit shall keep him body and soul But better that than going to school Or ploughing the field Hot as any fire and brimstone Methodist’s sermon down here In the awesome stillness of the deep black
A Boy in Darkness
The seam they work is more than a yard The headway here is nearly four feet He hears the eerie sound of the whistling wind Deep down here in the dry and the heat
A Boy in Darkness
Part 2: The March of Progress, Enlightenment and the Passing of Time
Part 3: Present Times
Once upon a time A secret shared Threatened not to breathe a word To a living soul Especially mother...
He was just a boy But even though It wasn’t the way it’s supposed to go Needed a father Not this hunter
To speak of the unspeakable Takes guts and nerve It’s going to disturb He can’t bring himself to say the words
Misplaced blind faith In church and state Tied up in too much red tape If help comes, pray not too late
We face ourselves Look long and hard Make the difference A safer place But most of all Don’t be afraid To shine Light Into the dark

One day we'll find our way Straying from the road We thought we could go Until we would fade.
Traveling across the fallen earth And the foreign lands We survived To believe that this is not the end This is not the time
Moving unseen beyond The shadows Waiting for The birth of a star we can follow
One day we'll find our time Come to realize That our history Came full circle
Traveling across all the dried up seas And the foreign lands We survived To believe that this is not the end This is not the time

Life With your passivity in the face of choices forced you to turn back settle with your lies but the stubborn glass Doesn’t want to talk to you Waiting for the better time chair bound and bedridden heart
discard your fear of the unknown be here and now Just find yourself in peace try to free your mind wake up get unstuck let it go send your shame to nevermore
your past your distorted thoughts closed you in the box and cluttered up your head hewn from happiness in your fable town you're still afraid of Starting something new this life
discard your fear of the unknown be here and now Just find yourself in peace try to free your mind wake up get unstuck let it go Send your shame to nevermore
discard your fear of the unknown be here and now just find yourself in peace try to free your mind Wake up Get unstuck let it go send your shame to nevermore let it go Scare away your fear
No more Fear of new life Fear of days of the unknown Fear of new life Fear of days of the unknown Fear of new life Fear of days of the unknown fear of new life

I want to fly I want to feel my life Still belongs to me No matter what I want to fly I want to flap my wings And cause a hurricane in your heart
Butterflies Better lies than hate But I can’t pretend anymore I’m tired of suppressing all of my needs I want to belong to the cloudless sky Not to the shaded ground
But it’s so hard to admit That I lived without your light Trying not to believe that I need it more Now the bleeding won’t stop For I struggled through the barbed wire Trying not to believe that I need your love Trying not to believe in love
I wanted to turn into a butterfly But I couldn’t trust you enough
I was tired of suppressing all of my needs I wanted to belong to the cloudless sky Not to the shaded ground
But it’s so hard to admit That I lived without your light Trying not to believe that I need it more Now the bleeding won’t stop For I struggled through the barbed wire Trying not to believe that I need your love Trying not to believe in love

I feel I have to share What I do Or where I am There’s an urge within I can’t ignore
Hashtag me and go I’m addicted to your love I’m addicted to my aimless drive
There’s a mask upon my face I can’t live without So you won’t recognize me When I am in the crowd I lost my calmness in the world Where everything is searchable
Dreaming inside out Feeling inside out
I don’t have my place I’m in here and everywhere Just another day in hd frame
So hashtag me and go Cause I’m addicted to your love I’m afraid You’re the only friend I’ve got
There’s a mask upon my face I can’t live without So you won’t recognize me When I am in the crowd I lost my calmness in the world Where everything is searchable

Lyrics:
Hey you, Somewhere in the mirror What happened today with your face Your eyes Sank in their hollows And the ocean of your disgrace
It’s no shame You haven’t done what you were supposed to And did what you didn’t want to 1-UP! The amount of self-deception Slowly starts killing you Inside
You’re faced With a new decision Between the dawn and the day Melting Between the life you got used to And something you don’t understand
I know It demands an effort And the pills to get rid of this pain Not a chance I’m sorry, Birdy I’m your favourite voice inside your head
Hey you, Rise and shine! You must learn to stand your ground How long can you hold your breath under the pillow? You kept yourself to yourself Day by day Growing delusions in the blue flowerpots
Your filter bubble On the touchscreen display Has recommended to you What you should want
While you’ve been watching too much daytime TV Dreaming on demand Your ”from tomorrow” just became ”yesterday” Made you crawl again Under the bed covers
Hey you, Rise and shine! You must learn to stand your ground How long can you hold your breath under the pillow? How long can you hold your breath under the pillow? How long can you hold your breath under the pillow?Riverside - Lost (Why Should I Be Frightened By a Hat?)Losmi MM2015-09-21 | Artist: Riverside Album: Love, Fear And The Time Machine Genre: Progressive Rock Year: 2015

Lyrics:
I dropped down again From a star On a desert island Full of skies
And I saw a boy Looking up Dreaming of his future From my past
Soon I drew an ocean Tamed the sun And I plunged my feet Into the sand
Bit by bit I came To understand How I miss this freedom And the swoosh of waves
Come Follow me We’ll go down where the river flows One day Just you and I We’ll find the bridge to the neverland
I was frightened of A thousand hats Bouncing off the answers Losing pride
Had a fear of failure And true love But I don’t regret that I am what I lost
Come Follow me We’ll go down where the river flows One day Just you and I We’ll find the bridge to the neverlandQueensryche - Breaking The Silence (Video Mindcrime )Losmi MM2015-02-06 | ...Arena - The VisitorLosmi MM2015-02-05 | Artist: Arena Album: The Visitor Genre: Progressive Rock Year: 1998
Lyrics:
Did it really make a difference? Was there strength enough to set me free? Am I even sure I'm living now? Or is this some kind of dream? Is it really that important? Did I really need to find this way? Have I never looked inside before? Have I always been afraid?
The vampire waits on the corner of the street Past the clown and the words of the preacher Try to run, but you'll never beat the thief Are these the faces of The Visitor?
It was there in a desperate breath It was born from a moment of death It was held in the weakest of faith But it seemed to last forever
It was over in a moment of sight It was gone in a flash of a light It was lost in the heart of the night But it seemed to last forever
You're never alone Take it from me You're never alone Just take it from me Take it from me
Did it really make a difference? Am I really what I seem to be? Did I ever truly breathe again? Or is this some kind of dream?Arena - Running from DamascusLosmi MM2015-02-05 | Artist: Arena Album: The Visitor Genre: Progressive Rock Year: 1998

Lyrics:
Something on the edge of this place Something on the edge of my mind Getting closer to me Growing stronger in me all the time The young foretell a life ahead The old look back on a life that's been led But I - I see nothing Got too much sand across my head Sit there waiting for the phone to ring Hopes in the attic, tied up with string On a top shelf, bottom drawer Any place I could ignore The falling of this hero
No! Don't let the child die here Don't let the child die here Don't let his life just fade away Don't let the child die....
I made a promise - my soul laid bare Signed and sealed on a wing, on a prayer But thrown to the darkness It lies beyond repair This solemn oath I swore to you Has been neglected and unused In a back room, not on show Anywhere just not to know The falling of this hero
No! Don't let the child die here Don't let the child die here Don't let his life just fade away Don't let the child die....
I let the orphan fall, tears remained unseen I let the child die on signal fifteen I missed the vital signs and all of the meanings
You cannot judge me That's not your place There's a jury for the crime's of my disgrace You hide behind those vacant words Have you seen what I've seen? Have you heard what I've heard?
You cannot judge me That's not your right This is my room, no key, no light You stand behind those faithless words Have you seen what I've seen? Have you heard what I've heard?
No! Don't let the child die here Don't let the child die here Don't let his life just fade away Don't let the child die here
Don't let the child die here Don't let the child die here Don't let his life just fade away Don't let the child die here
Don't let the child die here Don't let the child die here Don't let his life just fade away Don't let the child dieArena - SerenityLosmi MM2015-02-05 | Artist: Arena Album: The Visitor Genre: Progressive Rock Year: 1998Arena - Tears in the RainLosmi MM2015-02-05 | Artist: Arena Album: The Visitor Genre: Progressive Rock Year: 1998
Lyrics:
This is a clown's tale Falling over Again and again He paints his face With colours from the sun But he is living in the rain This is a clown's tale Jumping up Spinning round and around He kicks his heels To the laughter of the crowd But from inside there is no sound
Why do we all fail to see The darkness in another's heart Why do we all turn our backs On open wounds And failed attractions Painted on the canvas there Written in the books we share
This is a fool's tale Rolling over Again and again Telling jokes To cool the anger of a king But he can never be the same
This is a fool's tale Tripping up Spinning round and around Try to walk Beyond words of the wise Then reach a place too high Show them you can fly And dream until you hit the ground....
Don't offer sympathy When you've just walked away Don't play apologies And sentimental games I stood before the world And gave you my heart And it may never beat again!
Don't give me hollow tears Or empty cries of shame Don't try to turn away By throwing me the blame I stood before the world And gave you my soul And now I'm living in the rain!
This is a clown's tale Falling over Again and again He paints his face With colours from the sun But he is lying in.... He is dying in.... He is crying in the rainArena - Dont Forget to BreatheLosmi MM2015-02-05 | Artist: Arena Album: The Visitor Genre: Progressive Rock Year: 1998
Lyrics:
Half heard cries in the night Bolt the door, put out the light The clock just stopped, time goes slow Listen to my voice on the telephone Fine prayers, sweet dreams Don't forget to breathe, my friend You're not the only one To look me in the eyes again
Half heard screams in the night The man's down deep 'cos he died of fright There's a dog bite - Flash light Throw him in the room with the clues and the dynamite
Fine prayers sweet dreams Don't forget to breathe, my friend You're not the only one To look me in the eyes again
You saw! You saw! A figure in the fog with razor claws You saw! You saw! A devil in the dark, we've met before
Fine prayers, sweet dreams Don't forget to breathe, my friend You're not the only one To look me in the eyes again
Half seen shadows in the night Burning hands and tortured sight All the children of the storm are waiting Half seen shadows in the night Blood red rooms and fire light All the children of the storm are waiting
And as you stand glued to the line Your heart just stopped And now you're mine!

Lyrics:
Why should all the wise survive When nothing is what it may seem? Why do all the living die When only the dying remain? Helpless are the broken wishes Dashed upon the window pane So close! But I'm one step ahead My shadow is all you will touch Too late! You waited too long I stole the freedom You needed so much
Do you hide away from me? There's nothing here you should ignore Do you close your eyes on me? You've made that mistake once before Helpless are the shattered wishes Dashed upon the window pane
So close! But I'm one step ahead My shadow is all you will touch Too late! You waited too long I stole the freedom You needed so much
Search far, search wide Lying down is not a matter of pride Look hard, look deep Never try to take this line of retreat Don't let the bastards grind you down
So close! But I'm one step ahead My shadow is all you will touch Too late! You waited too long I stole the freedom you needed so much So close! But I'm one step ahead My shadow is all you will touch Too late! You waited too long I stole the freedom I know that you needed so muchArena - A State of GraceLosmi MM2015-02-04 | Artist: Arena Album: The Visitor Genre: Progressive Rock Year: 1998
Lyrics:
Thinly veiled, a cruel disguise Vengeance lies behind these eyes Glaring from the pulpit As the Fallen Angels follow me Plageristic sermons Hiding voyeuristic undertones Foolishly they will embrace And ignorant they follow me You've never truly known The kind of place that I come from You turned your back on all the signs That bore the words of warning
Come to me my simple child Tear apart your innocence Pray with me beloved son And I will help you find a way Think before you throw yourself Upon the tables and the merchant s Are you sure this temple Isn't just another cruel perversion?
You've never truly known The kind of place that I come from You turned your back on all the signs That bore the words of warning
Don't look for comfort in this house of mine Don't ask for mercy at my image or my shrine Don't seek forgiveness at this house of mine Don't build a temple here And wait for me to walk into the fire
I will make this promise now A simple thing, a sacred vow Come with me my pretty Angel I will show you how to fly We will fall together Into unforgiving night we plunge! Chained by sin and clothed by guilt We will be as one forever
Don't look for comfort in this house of mine Don't ask for mercy at my image or my shrine Don't look for comfort in this house of mine Don't break the Holy bread or drink the Holy wine Don't seek forgiveness at this house of mine Don't build a temple here And wait for me to walk into the fireArena - The Hanging TreeLosmi MM2015-02-04 | Artist: Arena Album: The Visitor Genre: Progressive Rock Year: 1998
Lyrics:
Walk along the waterfall Watching as the world turns red Wonder where the river flows And the blood on the river bed Poison lies too close to us Reach across the salt and sand Moving deeper into the land Following the waterfall Watching as the world turns green Wonder where the river flows The copper face remains unseen Ignorance has failed to cleanse Reach across the salt and sand Moving deeper into the land
Crying as the earth cries out Weeping as the land decays Wonder if I could have helped Maybe I'd have found a way Poison lies too close to us Reach across the salt and sand Moving deeper into the land
Cling to the branch of a tree That was waiting for Something to preach Someone to teach The Word was the first And the last to be heard From the branch of the tree It was praying for me to fall down
Climb to the top of a tree That was waiting for Someone to warn A life to be torn into Pieces of gold For a soul to be sold And the heart of the tree Was crying for me to come back
Take me to the hanging tree There's a man in the light And he's pointing at me Guide me to the hanging tree It's the place that I come from Walk along the waterline Reach across the salt and the sand Moving deeper into the land
Take me to the hanging tree There's a boy in the light And he's staring at me Take me to the hanging tree It's the place that I come from Walk along the waterline Reach across the salt and the sand Moving deeper into the land I'm falling.....Falling down again!Arena - EleaLosmi MM2015-02-04 | Artist: Arena Album: The Visitor Genre: Progressive Rock Year: 1998Arena - Double VisionLosmi MM2015-02-04 | Artist: Arena Album: The Visitor Genre: Progressive Rock Year: 1998

Lying here Can't even feel the cold Just a tingle in my spine A bitter line of hope Lying here Can't even see the sky Just a tingle in my fingers A shiver in my soul
Don't walk towards the light Still got those pins and needles Turn back, embrace the night Am I ready to be judged like this?
Lying here Can't even turn my head Just a tingle in my feet A shimmering before my eyes
Lying here Can't even touch my face Just a tingle in my throat A living moment, isolated
Don't walk towards the light Still got those pins and needles Turn back, embrace the night I'm not ready to be taken yet
Don't walk towards the light Still got those pins and needles Turn back and hold the night I'm not ready to be taken yet

Lyrics:
Dead calm Raining all over me Too late Sense of mortality Dark skies Threaten to swallow me Down to the flame While my flesh and my bone melt away I defy you to stand on the crack in the ice With the power of your hand On the crack in the ice
Men Raped and discarded Are left dead The vultures will feed on them Lost cause Tearing this life apart Thrown to the flame While my flesh and my bone melt away
I defy you to stand on the crack in the ice With the power of your hand On the crack in the ice
Take this moment so close to my heart You held the white rose out Just before we parted Take this moment so far away in dreams I can feel the thorns bite But the flower died, it seems
Hold this feeling so close to my heart You brought the passion out Just before we parted Hold this feeling so far away in dreams I can feel the thorns bite But the flower starts to bleed
I defy you to stand on the crack in the ice With the power of your hand On the crack in the iceRiverside - CodaLosmi MM2015-01-26 | Artist: Riverside Album: Shrine Of New Generation Slaves Genre: Progressive Rock Year: 2013

Lyrics:
When I scroll back through our recent days I try to understand How we could forget We made a promise to one another That nothing would ever break what we had Now we never talk when we fall apart We never talk when we fall apart We pretend we’re ok Surrounding ourselves with one-way friendships And so-called friends
I know we got used to new us And I don’t want to be there I don’t want to be there Where we are I know we got used to new life And I don’t want to be there No, I don’t want to be there Where we are
Silence fallen between All the doors are locked All the words unsaid And we’re still afraid of time Started to keep ourselves At a distance that we could control Not too close Not too far Now we never talk when we fall apart We just never talk when we fall apart We pretend we’re ok By filling up our inner space With little hates And so-called love
I know we got used to new us And I don’t want to be there I don’t want to be there Where we are I know we got used to new life And I don’t want to be there No, I don’t want to be there Where we are

Into this world I came Filled with fear Crying all the time I guess my birth Left a great scar On my heart and mind
Now I hand-pick cotton And struggle to sing "I am happy and I do what I like" But my voice breaks And I start to hate My singing And simply everyone
Mama told me Be good Work hard And love Mr. God Every Sunday I lie Trying to realize why
Ain't nothing more to say Your Honor Don't look at me like that The truth is I am a free man But I can't enjoy my life
I came to a stand still With lies and hopes inside my head Always seemed too late to turn And too soon to understand
No, I don’t have a stomach ache It's just my face...
I got stuck I ran aground I got used to spewing bile I wonder whether all those years Hadn't been a waste of time
So how am I doing? Oh, I CAN complain Smoke too many cigarettes But I don't care...Riverside - Feel Like FallingLosmi MM2015-01-26 | Artist: Riverside Album: Shrine Of New Generation Slaves Genre: Progressive Rock Year: 2013

Had allowed that life to drift For I’ve chosen a different trail When light fades I feel like falling into blank space
So you realized Ingested real life Grew up in the time of Pushing through the crowds So you realized Chose unreal life Settled in the mobile Handy pocket size
Wanted to be your light Illuminate your smiles Wanted to be your cure Bridge between self and us Wanted to be your prayer Wipe the tears from your eyes But I turned my back
Could have been a tree of dawn Rooted deeply in the ground Bearing fruits Far away from falling into blank space
But I took refuge from myself In the crowded solitude Now I dash And feel like falling into blank space
Wanted to be your light Illuminate your smiles Wanted to be your cure Bridge between self and us Wanted to be your prayer Wipe the tears from your eyes But I turned my back Got lost insideRiverside - Celebrity TouchLosmi MM2015-01-26 | Artist: Riverside Album: Shrine Of New Generation Slaves Genre: Progressive Rock Year: 2013

I can’t afford to be silent I can’t afford to lose my stand What matters is to be in view I am seen therefore I am I can satisfy my hunger I can satisfy my thirst What about the feeling of importance Now I’ve got my chance
This is just what I need To be in everyone’s eyes To be hard-wired to all brains And control all their minds
In the center of attention TV Glossy magazines My private life is public I sell everything Days are getting shorter They’ll forget about me soon So I jump on the bandwagon With no taboos
This is just what I need To be in everyone’s eyes To be hard-wired to all brains And control all their minds
But what if we start to talk Not only say out loud What if we sift the babble From what really counts What if we disappear Go deeply underground What if we hide away From being stupefied

Lyrics:
We are escalator walkers In the brand new temple Came to reshape identities Shed our skins Be reborn And feel the same That no one here is real
We are moving standees In the shrine of choices Incarcerated between floors of Hope and disappointment We feel the same That no one here is real We feel the same That nothing here is still
We are stairway drifters Made of cyber paper Google boys and wiki girls Children of the self care
We come to pray every single training day Looking for a chance to survive Buying reduced price illusions Floating into another light Melting into another lonely crowd
We feel the same That no one here is real We feel the same That nothing here is still
***
Used to have our love And now Disposable needs Used to have our souls And now Refined new skins
Take Use Throw Away Forget

Dragging our feet Tired and deceived Slowly moving on Bracing shaky legs Against all those wasted years We roll the boulders of sins Up a hill of new days
In the arms of the setting sun Our burdens cast shadows over fiery ground Catching final rays We try to reach the journey’s end Before the sun will die
We sense we’re almost there But the night comes too soon And we crawl in the dark Not ready to face up To unknowing lies We ache to go back

All alone now Except for the memories Of what we had and what we knew Everytime I try to leave it behind me I see something that reminds me of you Every night the dreams return to haunt me Your rosary wrapped around your throat I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep I see your face looking back at me
And I raise my head and stare Into the eyes of a stranger I've always known that the mirror never lies People always turn away From the eyes of a stranger Afraid to know what Lies behind the stare
Is this all that's left Of my life before me Straight jacket memories, sedative highs No happy ending like they've always promised There's got to be something left for me And I raise my head and stare Into the eyes of a stranger I've always known that the mirror never lies People always turn away From the eyes of a stranger Afraid to know what Lies behind the stare [Lies behind my stare]
How many times must I live this tragedy How many more lies will they tell me All I want is the same as everyone Why am I here, and for how long

She said she'd meet me on the other side But I knew right then, I'd never find her
I don't believe in love I never have, I never will I don't believe in love It's never worth the pain that you feel
No more nightmares, I've seen them all From the day I was born, they've haunted my every move Every open hand's there to push and shove No time for love it doesn't matter She made a difference I guess she had a way Of making every night seem bright as day Now I walk in shadows, never see the light She must have lied 'cause she never said goodbye
I don't believe in love I never have, I never will I don't believe in love I'll just pretend she never was real I don't believe in lovev I need to forget her face, I see it still I don't believe in love It's never worth the pain that you feel
No chance for contact There's no raison d'etre My only hope is one day I'll forget The pain of knowing what can never be With or without love it's all the same to me
I don't believe in love I never have, I never will I don't believe in love I'll just pretend she never was real I don't believe in love I need to forget her face, I see it still I don't believe in love It's never worth the pain that you feelQueensryche - Revolution Calling (Video Mindcrime)Losmi MM2015-01-24 | ...
