Lyrics  

The Fifth Season

Music by Terry Gorle & Mike Jackson ; Lyrics by Terry Gorle and Steve Benito
Copyright ©1987 Apparently Music -BMI ; Richard Cheese Music -ASCAP

I looked unto the old one, in the sacred halls
I found him there amidst his grief, and crumbling walls
The tears that lined his face told the tale he tried to hide
Of castles made of sand, and of the tide

A whisper through his sobs, I heard him softly say
My kingdom for a wise man, yesterday?
Nothing can save us, no one can stop the end?
Not all your king's horses, or all your amens

There's no disarming, no forewarning
Morning is over, forever burns the night
Time's forever fused with the night
The passions of men -in a flash
Put an end to the light
-End the Light

There's no one that can save us now
Nothing can stop the end
Not all your king's horses, or all your amens

Shadows seething -darkness grips the sky
Ashes wreathing -fire burning on high
Suffocation -the light all gone away
In the end I've no final words to say

There's no disarming, no forewarning
Morning is over- forever burns the night
Time's forever fused with the night
The passions of men -in a flash
Put an end to the light
-End the Light

Shadows seething -darkness grips the sky
Ashes wreathing -fire burning on high

There's no disarming, no forewarning
Morning is over- forever burns the night

There's no one that can save us now
Nothing can stop the end
Not all your king's horses, or all your amens

Shadows seething -darkness grips the sky
Ashes wreathing -fire burning forever on high

Alone Again

Written by Ronn Chick and Steve Benito
Copyright ©1986 Richard Cheese Music -ASCAP

Here I am in a spotlight
Alone all over again
And you are home by the firelight
With someone else, instead of me

The words seemed so real
And baby that's why I feel
Alone again
I swore you were my friend
Now I'm all alone
All alone again

The rhymes I could make
If my heart wasn't breaking
In two over you
Oh I'm the fool
For believing in things
I can't hold in my hands
I don't understand

The words seemed so real
And baby that's why I feel
Alone again
I swore you were my friend
I'm all alone
All alone again

AND... dogro lived on

Face the facts of life on Earth
The nature of mankind
Pages from our past are now defined
Humanity has common sense
We all know right from wrong
We've lived in false pretense too long!

RISE!! RISE!!
Face the facts of present day
RISE!! RISE!!
Rid yourself of ancient ways

Fear of gods and demons is the folly of your mind
Acknowledge facts of science -don't be blind
The war of good and evil is what you create within
The facts of life are where the truth begins

RISE!! RISE!! RISE!!

Prepare for your future -don't live within the past
The ancient cultures never knew the facts
Technology has given truth where myth had been before
It's time humanity stepped through the door

RISE!! RISE!!
Face the facts of present day
RISE!! RISE!!
Rid yourself of ancient ways...

RISE!! RISE!! RISE!!

Another Candle

Words & Music by Terry Gorle
Copyright ©1985 Apparently Music -BMI

I've seen through times of mystery
And dreamed of truth in history
I can't imagine why we'd let our lives be stole away-
For armageddon

To be their pawns
And fear their gods
With no free will - NO!

Another candle burning down
See the flickering light upon the ground
There'll never be a chosen few
The ignorant- they never knew

And now the oceans cry
From the fire in the sky
And there's nothing you can do
'Cause the world you've known is through

And now your people cry
At the rivers running dry
And there's nothing you can do
'Cause the world you've known is through

Desire - the lust for total joy
The fire - a world it shall destroy
Fever - you'll feel it in your mind-
It's the nature of your kind

Lost - the future from your view
The cost - too high to start anew
Reason - the one thing you ignore-
Could open up the door

Another candle burning down...

Cacophony of Anger

Written by Derek Peace and Steve Benito
Copyright ©1988 Apparently Music-BMI
Richard Cheese Music-ASCAP

Somehow, somewhere, someone
Sold me the wrong set of dreams
Like a rag doll in careless hands
I come apart at the seams

Like a willow I'm bending -an actor pretending
The script I've been given is true
Like a child that is force-fed
I'm throwing this shit back at you

Anger and fury my anger and fury my
Anger and fury my anger and fury my
Wall of anger -My cacophony

(spoken)

...Thus the antediluvian quest of mind over matter
is bequeathed to my benighted self...
Bedaubed and besmirched, the panglos eventually concedes
to the necrosis of hard realities, shrieking in anger -and then silent.
Finding no other course, I laugh at the Sisyphean punchline
at the end of another day...

Neon and screens were my feeling machines
No wonder I feel like a fool
I'm a fire of resentment with media methane as fuel

My soul and the soles of my shoes both have holes
Still somehow I get through the sorrow
Two pairs of socks and a shot in the arm 'til tomorrow

Wall of anger -My cacophony...

Cry For Rome

Music by Terry Gorle ; Lyrics by Terry Gorle & Steve Benito
Copyright ©1987 Apparently Music -BMI ; Richard Cheese Music -ASCAP

Show me a tear, and I'll know you're a dreamer
Caesars, one and all we cry for Rome
Tears like empires falling to the ground
Yet we're shackled to those dreams
We're tied and we're bound
So show me a tear and I'll know you're a dreamer
Caesars, one and all we cry for Rome
Caesars, one and all we cry for Rome


Show me a tear, and I'll tell you a tale of glory
Caesars, one and all we cry for Rome
Show me your fear and I'll sell you a timeless story
Caesars, one and all we cry for Rome

Nero's song of mourning weeps
As pillars fall like rain
Only shattered hopes and dust remain

Show me a tear and I'll know you're a dreamer
Caesars, one and all we cry for Rome
Show me your fear and I'll know that you're a seer
Caesars, one and all we cry for Rome

Tears like empires falling down
See them on the ground
Yet, we're shackled to them
We are bound

Show, come on and show
Show -show.
Are there any dreamers?
Are there any dreamers?
Show me a tear and I'll know you're a seer

Nero's haunting melody
Of irony and pain
The echoes of an empire's final reign

Decorated

Written by Mike Jackson and Steve Benito
Copyright ©1988 Richard Cheese Music-ASCAP

Hero, Warrior
Sit behind the lines and make the call
Leader, Believer
A vestal three-piece high above it all

But until you've walked the miles with the people that you lead
You can't understand their pain when the common people bleed

Fuhrer, Big Brother
Victimize the weak and make us strong
Teacher, Savior
Sanctify your answers, right or wrong

And until you've walked the miles with the people that you lead
You can't understand their pain when the common people bleed

You should be decorated
Adorned by scarlet bars
A celebrated General
To brandish blackened stars

You should be decorated
Your ribbons frayed and torn
Upon your paper pedestal
For the children to adorn

You should be decorated
...still you walk alone...

Leader, Believer
Victimize the weak and make us strong
Teacher, Savior
Sanctify your answers, right or wrong

And until you've walked the miles with the people that you lead
You can't understand their pain when the common people bleed

You should be decorated
...and you could have made a difference - if you tried...
You should be decorated
...but you never really cared, and so you lied...
You should be decorated
...and you could have made a difference - but you never really tried at all
Decorated - decorated
...never really cared

Dragons Lair

Words & Music by Terry Gorle
Copyright ©1983 Apparently Music -BMI

Looking through the windows to your mind
Can't you see that there isn't much more to find?
As you take the crystal deep within
Waiting for the magic to begin

And are the broken mirrors of your soul
Dying for a lesson to be told?
And will you ever find an answer there?
Daring to approach the dragons lair

And the dragon beckons you nearer
And you think you're so damn strong you've got no fear
Are you a victim - a blind man - a fool?
Living in illusions, you can only lose

Shooting deadly arrows in your heart
Bleeding from the moment that you start
A rush that never seems to satisfy
Tempting you once more before you die

And are the broken mirrors of your soul
Dying for a lesson to be told?
And will you ever find an answer there?
Daring to approach the dragons lair

Dragons Lair
Are you there?
Do you care?
...Illusions

Hands of Destiny

Written by Corey Rivers
Copyright ©1983 Apparently Music -BMI

Like oils upon a canvas cast in silver, black, and grey
The angry skies of autumn hold the distant sun at bay
Mighty airborne armies waging battles in the sky
The clouds are locked in conflict, sending thunderbolts to fly

Yet in our abundant wisdom
Man can't tame the sky, the mountains, or the sea
Held beyond our understanding, helpless to deny
The hands of destiny

A monolithic menace reaches up to touch the sky
Below, a tiny township, waiting, helpless to defy
In a violent clamor sends a molten sea of flame
Bringing forth destruction, leaving nothing to remain

Yet in our abundant wisdom
Man can't tame the sky, the mountains, or the sea
Held beyond our understanding, helpless to deny
The hands of destiny

With the rage of Neptune, savage seas divide the land
Claiming countless victims of the power at his command
Dark and dismal waters seem to laugh with fiendish pride
Leaving those who dared to venture washed up with the tide

Yet in our abundant wisdom
Man can't tame the sky, the mountains, or the sea
Held beyond our understanding, helpless to deny
The hands of destiny

Just Imagine

Written by Mike Jackson & Steve Benito
Copyright ©1987 Richard Cheese Music -ASCAP

Just imagine things beyond the chains of understanding
Beyond reason, beyond logic, beyond fear
Believe the inconceivable, feel the unbelievable
Don't bother asking Is this real??

Just imagine meaning in the things you never dreamed of
Like your leaders, your lovers, and your songs
Natural Order's changing, in effect
Giving everyone a cause

Dreamer dreaming in a seeming sleepless land
Just imagine

Just imagine something inside nothing
Like a child in emptiness
Or a dreamer in the dark
Creative cryogenics -a mind
A candle yearning for a spark

Dreamer dreaming in a seeming sleepless land
Just imagine

Just imagine peace where there was none before
Under virgin skies
Just imagine children with hope
Again in their eyes

Just imagine

Just imagine people really caring
And not just saying they do
Just imagine nations really talking
Like me and you

Keeper Of The Reign

Words & Music by Terry Gorle
Copyright ©1983 Apparently Music -BMI

...And the poor shall kneel down at their master's feet
And dedicate themselves to please...

Raging rivers run for the lucky one
For the keeper of the grail
And the lower men, subjects of the king
On their hands and knees prevail

Raging rivers run for the honored one
For the keeper of the key
And the lower men, servants of the king
Live to suit their master's greed

The keeper of the reign
The keeper of the reign
Feels no pain...

Raging rivers run for the royal One
For the keeper of the crown
And the lower men soldiers of the king
To whom their lives revolve around

The keeper of the reign
The keeper of the reign
Feels no pain...

Raging rivers run with the blood of mad men
Battle is the keeper's game
For the lucky one, to him no harm shall come
The keeper never feels their pain - no pain!

Masters of Invasion

Written by Derek Peace and Terry Gorle
Copyright ©1984 Apparently Music -BMI

They march at night through fiery battlefields
And the death bell rings it's toll
They take no prisoners, they shoot to kill
And ever onward they will roll
Plated armor of the hardest steel
Their tanks are quick and their trooper's keen
A game of chess with clear-cut strategy

Masters of invasion, take your prey
Masters of invasion, claim your life and dig your grave...

The legions follow orders manifest
No provocation to avenge
Assume a destiny to reach the west
The conquered live in hope for their revenge
You can't escape this vicious war machine
No sanctuary for this grim regime
Freedom and property are stripped away

Masters of invasion, take your prey
Masters of invasion, claim your life and dig your grave...

And on they march to quench their thirst for greed
Without a warrant for their crimes
Annihilation is their craving need
And the death bell counts the lives
Another country doomed to die in vain
Another victim of this mongers' reign
Another paragraph in history...

Masters of invasion, take your prey
Masters of invasion, claim your life and dig your grave...

Nightmare (Faces In The Dark)

Words & Music by Terry Gorle
Copyright ©1985 Apparently Music -BMI

Dark figures dancing madly underneath the moon
Chilling cold of fright surrounds you here
Shivers running down your spine like frigid blades of ice
The wind blows applause throughout the hills
Nighttime brings vague and shapeless visions into view
Images of evil catch your eyes
Danger lies amidst the shadows everywhere you turn
'Cause in your dreams the darkness never ends...

Nightmare - faces in the dark surround you
Nightmare - images of hell around you
Nightmare - nowhere left to hide
Nightmare - haunting you tonight

Memories of haunting voices burning in your mind
A strange uneasy presence in the air
Your heart pounds, your breath stops, you tremble with fear
Cast into a cauldron of despair
Caught within a wrath of torment every night you dream
Soon you'll be afraid to close your eyes
Imaginary fears are flowing like a steady scream
As you approach your midnight-mare

Nightmare - nowhere left to hide
Nightmare - haunting you tonight
Don't go out alone
Don't go out alone
Don't go out alone!

Questions

Words & Music by Terry Gorle
Copyright ©1986 Apparently Music -BMI

I'm waiting for morning, but night lingers on
When will the darkness give way to the dawn?
Is there an end?

Cast in a shadow so lonely and cold
Wondering whether I'll live to grow old
A question of Why??

The quest for survival is second to none
Can we unite before our end has come?
Open your eyes!

Cast in a shadow so lonely and cold
Wondering whether we'll live to grow old
A question of time

And what do we have down this road that we're on?
A world of hatred, pollution, and pawns
Futility pounds in my brain!

And what of the people who dream they'll be saved?
Are they immune from the fallout and flames?
If we're responsible who do we blame?

Running from the Thunder

Words & Music by Terry Gorle
Copyright ©1985 Apparently Music -BMI

I hear it in the distance
I can feel it in the wind
Somehow, some way
Will it return again?

I see a change taking over
A taste of things to come
Somehow, some way
Am I the only one?

- Running from the thunder
- Reaching for the sun

I've heard it in the distance
I've felt it in the wind
Sometime, some day
Will it return again?

I've seen the changes around me
The threat of things to come
Sometime, some day
Am I the only one?

- Running from the thunder
- Reaching for the sun -lookout!

Running from the thunder
Reaching for the sun...

Screaming

Written by Ronn Chick and Steve Benito
Copyright ©1986 Richard Cheese Music-ASCAP

When the light starts to dim in the evening
When the day starts to fade
Your body echoes an uneasy feeling
You know you're feeling afraid

You don't know where you're going
Or where you've been
You try to run- but it's too late
You've stumbled in

-Now you're
Screaming, 'cause you're afraid of the dark
Screaming toward the light
Screaming, 'cause there's a fear in your heart
Screaming into the night

On your face I can see that you're worried
On your face I see fear
Is this the time that you said you'd run lady?
From your darkest fears

You don't know where you're going
Or where you've been
You try to run- but it's too late
You've stumbled in

-Now you're
Screaming, 'cause you're afraid of the dark
Screaming toward the light
Screaming, 'cause there's a fear in your heart
Screaming into the night

It's too late to run now
I'm right behind
You're over now- I see you
Screaming into the night

The Cloak

Written by Corey Rivers and Terry Gorle
Copyright ©1984 Apparently Music -BMI

The black night is the cloak I wear
I'm a nightmare borne on wings
A dark image of boundless fear
On the street I'm king of kings

A pale specter of shattered hopes
I'm a symphony of lies
A vague shadow, a nameless pair of eyes...

A stained picture of broken dreams
I'm a twisted demons' rage
a cold whisper, a silent scream
I'm a panther left uncaged

The dim glow of the haunting moon
I'm your deepest fears unveiled
The wind mocking your every step
I'm a dagger cast in steel

The black night is the cloak I wear
I'm a serpent's icy gaze
A grim chorus, a siren's suite
I'm the misty twilight haze

The chill stabbing the midnight air
I'm a frenzied banshee cry
A blind evil, a mindless beast
I'm the fate you can't defy

The Haunting

Music by Mike Jackson and Terry Gorle ; Lyrics by Steve Benito
Copyright ©1987 Apparently Music -BMI ; Richard Cheese Music -ASCAP

Memory- go away, I grow weary from my running
Hiding for so long I've lost my way

Morning lights' reminders painting colors in my prison
Daylight brightens every shade of grey
The pain never ending, and now its so cliche

Yesterdays are creaking doors and noises in the nighttime
Feelings, only chains across the floor
Voices on the wind, softly moan - I hear them whisper
Mirrors mock the man I was before

My mind slowly fading like paper in the rain

The haunting, it still remains
The haunting, it still remains

Turning and burning in my bed
A never-ending ghost that lives inside my head

Memory- go away, I grow weary from my running
Hiding for so long I've lost my way

Yesterdays are creaking doors and noises in the nighttime
Feelings, only chains across the floor
My mind keeps decaying like paper in the rain

The haunting, it still remains
The haunting, it still remains

Turning and burning in my bed
A never-ending ghost that lives inside my head

Memories remain of the haunting
Can't stop the pain of the haunting

The Servant

Words & Music by Terry Gorle
Copyright ©1983 Apparently Music -BMI

A servant's life is always short
I never wonder why
An angel fails to keep his wings
Falling from the sky

On your way -on your way
On your way -to the ground

A misty dew settles down
On the Earth below
The winds of time are telling me
I've got no place to go

I'm on my way -alone

But now, I'm free
To find the reasons why
I must believe, in faith within my mind
-and in my wings

A servant's life is always short
I never wonder why
An angel fails to keep his wings
He knows it's time to live or die...

Fly on!

The Sound Of Silence

Written by Paul Simon ; Copyright ©1965 Paul Simon Music -BMI
HEIR APPARENT arrangement by Terry Gorle - 1987

Hello darkness my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And a vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a streetlamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
-That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
-And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

Fools, said I, You do not know
Silence, like a cancer, grows”
Hear my words, that I might teach you
Take my arms, that I might reach you
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, The words of the prophets are
Written on the subway walls -and tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence

Tomorrow Night

Music by Terry Gorle and Mike Jackson ; Lyrics by Terry Gorle
Copyright ©1987 Apparently Music -BMI ; Richard Cheese Music -ASCAP

I look into your eyes as you look into mine
I see you smile and look away
I sense a passion burning deep within your heart
Can this be real? I look away

And then I wander through the maze of my emotions
Looking for the answer to the question in my mind

Another dream has come and gone
I watch it fade away

And now I wander through the maze of my emotions
Looking for the answer and waiting for a sign

Tell me now -you lead, I'll follow
Will I be with you tomorrow night?

I look into your eyes as you look into mine
I see you smile and turn away

And now I tremble in the midst of my emotions
You are the question and the answer to my dreams

Tell me now -you lead, I'll follow
Will I be with you tomorrow night?
Tell me now -you lead, I'll follow
Will I be with you tomorrow?
Will I be with you tomorrow night?

I look into your eyes as you look into mine
I see you smile and come my way

Tell me now -you lead, I'll follow
Will I be with you tomorrow?
Tell me now -you lead, I'll follow
Will I be with you tomorrow?
Will I be with you tomorrow night?

I see you smile...

Two Hearts

Written by Ronn Chick and Steve Benito
Copyright ©1986 Richard Cheese Music -BMI

All the pieces seemed to fit today
The sky blue matched the city grey
The roads all led to somewhere
The words I heard were true
Everything seemed to fit but me and you

All the pieces seemed to fit today
Laughter came from children's play
Something came from nothing
One and one made two
Everything seemed to fit but me and you

We are two lost pieces to the puzzle
We are two forgotten words that used to rhyme
We will never fit together
We are two hearts beating out of time

Young Forever

Music by Terry Gorle ; Lyrics by Steve Benito
Copyright ©1987 Apparently Music -BMI ; Richard Cheese Music -ASCAP

Watching the setting sun
You feel the days gone by
Autumn is ending- with winter impending
Was summer just a lie?

But just like the seasons
You know you spring will come

You're young forever
Just like the setting sun
You'll rise again
You're young forever
Taking on time in a race
That you can't win

Down but not out it's clear you're wise
Beyond your years
Time is a ship that keeps on sailing
Despite our hailing tears
But just like the ship
The wind will fill your sails

You're young forever
Just like the setting sun
You'll rise again

The Door

Music by Terry Gorle ; Lyrics by Will Shaw
Copyright ©2018 Apparently Music -BMI

No one cares what you say
Doesn't matter anymore
Just go on about your day
Just another closed door

You can't seem to figure out
The rhyme or the reason
To what this life's about
Or the turn of the season

You're searching for the answer
Locked behind the door
You're searching for the answer
Ohhhhhh

We hold the key
To what's inside
We hold the key
To everything they try to hide

Your meaningless arguments
The who and the why
Won't go without consequence
Spreading the lies

Weaponized order
Doctrines of peace
Culling the weak
When will we learn?

You're searching for the answer
Locked behind the door
Searching for the answer
We can't take it any more

We hold the key - to what's inside
We hold the key - to everything they try to hide
We hold the key - to everything we've been denied

We hold the key
To unlock the door and open our minds
Removing the boundaries and leaving the past behind

We're searching for the answers
Just open up the door

Man in the Sky

Music by Ray Schwartz ; Lyrics by Will Shaw
Copyright ©2018 Apparently Music -BMI

Scattered raindrops on the windowpane
Hear the rumbling from the freight train
Temples crumble in the distance
Strangers scattering seeking refuge from the rain

Seeds of humanity
Planted by the wicked and the damned
Feeding insanity
Follow their orders, decadent commands
Concede to the notion that conviction is the law of the land
Your deity is devotion and your common sense is contraband

The world has made its choice
There is no turning back now
We chose not to progress
But rather to forget
It's time to pay the price
Can't hold on any longer
With stares as cold as ice
The fact remains that

The world keeps on spinning
In the palm our hands
Right from the beginning
We've been betrayed by our fellow man
We took our hopes and dreams
And gave them away to the man in the sky
We begged and prayed to the man in the sky
Our faith betrayed by the man in the sky

With all the secrets of humanity
Mankind all along has held the key
Will we be cursed for eternity?
Just look ahead and follow me...

Further and Farther

Music by Terry Gorle ; Lyrics by Will Shaw
Copyright ©2018 Apparently Music -BMI

A shrine enshrouded - in a darkness out of view
Divine and clouded - a brilliant scarlet hue
It's time to paint a different picture - to start anew

A hidden passageway
Trapped in a moment in time
Away from the light of day
A symbol of man's decline

How far from the truth? Further and farther
How far from the proof? Further and farther away

A courtesy given, a prison we live in
A symbol of man's decline
The illusion of sight, what's wrong and what's right
A blind eye still blinking

Nothing can satisfy
The thirst for greed, the feeling of need
But how can you justify
Such colloquial abnormality

How far from the truth? Further and farther
Have I allowed others to push me down? Further and farther
Further and farther - how far from the proof?
Further and farther - where are my brothers?
Further and farther away

Comfort is the enemy

Climbing the precipice
The only way to escape this regime
This blood red obelisk
Will crumble before us, washing our hands clean

Nothing can satisfy
The thirst for greed, the feeling of need
But how can you justify such colloquial abnormality?

Comfort is the enemy
Comfort is the enemy
Comfort is the enemy
A symbol of man's decline

Here We Aren't

Music by Natthavut Sakiya ; Lyrics by Will Shaw
Copyright ©2018 Apparently Music -BMI

Everything gone in an instant
Sometimes over before it began
Pushing and grasping
Screaming and gasping

The flowers of spring have faded
The autumn leaves absent from the horizon
If only you could see

Waiting for the cold of winter
Yearning for the sun rays of the spring
Just as the choirs of the night begin to sing

Oh we're never truly here
Living on borrowed time
Running from our fears
Oh no, no matter where we are
Here we aren't
No matter where we are
Here we aren't

The stillness all around us
The passing of all we've ever known
The cycle of emptiness
We come and we go all alone

Whether we're crawling up the stairs
Or being wheeled down the hall
Nothing we ever do seems to matter at all

Oh we're never truly here
Living on borrowed time
Running from our fears
Oh no, no matter where we are
Here we aren't
No matter where we are
Here we aren't

Synthetic Lies

Music by Terry Gorle ; Lyrics by Will Shaw & Mike Blair
Copyright ©2018 Apparently Music -BMI

Erase my mind with synthetic remedies
Injecting lies - discarding all my dreams
As I sit behind the curtain and the screens
Colors fill my eyes, proliferate realities

It's of no consequence to me
Written rewritten rewritten - written rewritten rewritten
Allegorical, architectural, anomaly
Ones and zeroes, octets and masks
Hide the skies
A brilliant mind sitting behind
Synthetic lies

On these new paths
Deep inside my brain
All the charts and graphs
Can hardly explain
Like photographs the memories remain

It's of no consequence to me
Written rewritten rewritten - written rewritten rewritten
Unbelievable inconceivable abnormality
Ones and zeroes, octets and masks
Hide the skies
A brilliant mind sitting behind
Synthetic lies

A world unfolding
Mankind beholding
Awakening from peaceful slumber
You realize you are just a number

Savior

Music by Terry Gorle ; Lyrics by Mike Blair
Copyright ©2003 Apparently Music -BMI

Man and machine sharing thoughts - mind and reason
The storage of genius unfurled
To build a device that will harness our vision
Our knowledge - our future - our world

They call it Savior

Intricate designing and careful refining
To the future your mind will be hurled
With data and wires - your dreams and desires
Your feelings exposed to the world

Memories extracting - your thoughts everlasting
The hard drive is storing your mind
You save the nostalgic - the logic - chaotic
To benefit all mankind

They call it Savior

The Road to Palestine

Music by Terry Gorle ; Lyrics by Will Shaw & Terry Gorle
Copyright ©2018 Apparently Music -BMI

Before the lines that split the lands
Before the raging seas
A million miles of blood and sand
The pages of The Histories

Where are we heading?
What will we find?
When will we get there?
All roads lead to Palestine

Traveling through the ages
Wandering for eternity
Falling from the pages
Left behind by the Father of History

Where are we heading?
What will we find?
When will we get there?
All roads lead to Palestine

Insomnia

Music by Terry Gorle ; Lyrics by Will Shaw ;
Poem excerpt by Henry Johnstone
Copyright ©2018 Apparently Music -BMI

A bead of sweat keeping tempo
An unrelenting clockwork
Past day's regrets
Spinning endless
'Round and 'round it goes
Chasing the dream

Silence whispers softly
Hiding in the corners of the night
Silence whispers to me
Spiraling disorder 'til the morning light

Unto thee I pray
Thoust guarded me all day
Safe I am while in thy sight
Safely let me sleep tonight

Ticking of the clock
Angels laughing
Demons on parade
Past day's regret
Shades of darkness
Twilight masquerade

Silence whispers softly
Hiding in the corners of the night
Silence whispers to me
Spiraling disorder 'til the morning light

Insomnia

'Round and 'round it goes
Angels laughing
Demons on parade
'Round and 'round it goes
Shades of darkness
Twilight masquerade

'Round and 'round it goes
'Round and 'round it goes

Insomnia
Silence whispers softly
