Time Translation Symmetry
We're coasting through odd space.
Revolving simply 'round the next higher mass.
Stephen mumbled just an odd phrase:
"Here and now is just the lighted past“
My thoughts circle 'round the deep space
Who contrived it, dropped us down
We've been searching for a baleful onset
Think he just let us down
In less than a hundred years,
we've got a feel for long gone light and spheres
We will get through more odd days
We are revolving 'round excessive needs
Stephen rumbles just a dull phrase:
"Reality is beyond the reach of your mind“
Some folks still hang on to the flat earth,
(certainly) a world upside down.
----- Instrumental ——
We are starring into cold space
looking out for the next world to waste.
Stephen stutters with his odd voice
"My existence will be soon just a lighted past."

Below The Hinterlands
I look over yonder
I set a course in any direction
There’s a new world upside down on the map
Growing up so far east,
locked street doors facing west.
A turnaround is the key to the gates
The promised flourishing scenery
Trampled down for an Eagle note
I look over yonder
The wall is down, but the fence is high.
Hammer, compass, golden ears
Pulled off, thrown down, for a new pride to fear
I look over yonder
It dawns on us, but the sun sets west.
I sing out of time
when old hammers fall
with beats like a call
to build up new walls.
If you dance in time
as that old curtain squeaks
to a Goebbels-speech.
It’s not a dance, you’re marching again!
I look over yonder
Walk along on golden streets
Some folks think it's too good to last.
Growing up so European
with open doors and end to war
The future holds what the past has seen.

Leaving Crete
I look off into clear blue skies
No man, no lies just endless light
The world I’ve known seems far away
I get closer, I get closer
I see the skies
and escape great maze.
From the low sun of the morning
to the sound of the evening
The lightning howls and the the skies fall down.
I try to rise but the grace is gone.
The sun I saw seems far away.
I fall deeper to get closer
down, down, down
I see the skies
and escape the great maze.
From the low sun of morning
to the sound of the evening
I saw the skies
from far away, above you.
Too low to get the real light
and too high for a naive child
The lightning howls and the the skies fall down.
The more I rise the more I'll fall
The son I was seems far away.
I can see now, I'll be closer.

The Fish Code
We shot for the moon when all lights went out.
I've seen a light 'bout the dark days ahead.
They shot at the moon did you see it at all?
Now, free from the flames I watch dead stars fall.
Silver planes glinting through the night.
Red brick houses glowing in the dark.
Im in a shining light, so bright.
We asked for the moon, but we reached for an end.
The light has gone, we watch followers descend.
I see a town, once so royal oh so still.
We've cought the bright moon but the dark days stay on.
Chapel’s chimes ring forth the light.
I'm in the shining light, so bright.
We shot for the moon, now an old town is gone.
I don’t see the dark, but the ruins stay on.

I can't whisper, I've lost my control.
Answers coming, but no truth in whole.
The ocean ripples, washing life vests ashore.
The crystal palace won't shine anymore.
I can't dash, just stare into space.
I've been waiting here night and day.
Where is the spotlight flashing for you?
That western lighthouse won't shine anymore.
Hold your head high, above the waves.
The storm's approaching from long forgotten days.
A thousand eyes might look alike
See through mine and change your mind
Hold your head high, above the waves!
The storm's approaching from long forgotten days
All I want is to see you soon.
Are you out there, where have you gone?
All I want is to see a smile.
Are you out there? Hold your head high!
Tell me how did it get this far?
All I wanted was to keep my head high
There is a world you just learn to kill,
don't even think to learn a soft skill
Hold your head high, above the waves!
The storm's approaching from long forgotten days
Your monster lasts for all eternity
Makes you prosper and makes us flee
Hold your head high, above the waves!
The storm's approaching from long forgotten days

Hear The Kid Out
They tie me down and rough me up
I might blow chunks onto the rug
Attack my gut and mess me up
(but) the super poopers gas lifts up
The doc-man says it'll be allright
You might rise up into the light
I burst those bonds and fly away
No gun, no arm can make me stay!
Last man standing fears my stench
Through tears he swears a hard revange
I rise up right - to the top
Fight the bad guys, live it up!
I dont wanna see the lights
I'm a member of the super knights
But when my amour crashes down
I'm just a kid that bears your frown
And if you think this sounds absurd
A kid restates what's been misheard.
You want to be a better friend
Hear the kid out till the end!
They tie me down and rough me up
I never thought I'd give it up
I dreamed my poop can change the globe
But for me there's still no hope!

Repeating Odd Dream
I see it in my mind's eye,
not here, not now,
but maybe somewhere, way up high!
I dream I have an open ear
for snakes and honest man
I think they always tell a truth
I picture nights below the open sky,
so crystal clear,
and there I'll dwell in open fields of fear.
I wake up dreaming with an open eye
I see it yet again,
the mischief on parade will return.
I picture nights below the open sky,
so crystal clear,
I smell the fires burning up all I need.

Spinning Top
I wander down, down to see a tin god.
Once I'd been told there you find silver and gold.
I waved you off to go down into a false dawn.
I see poisoned snakes
and a devil crouching down
He says: "I wonder
why we just can't get along,
I wonder, I wonder
why it all went so wrong,
I wonder, I wonder"
His tone dies down and then the downpour kills the hush.
I keep on going and feel the burden down my back.
I pass unseen, I pass through every open door.
I wandered off to see that I'm the false god.
to see that I'm the false god.
I wonder,
why am I the poisoned one,
I wonder, I wonder
why we just can't get along
I wonder, I wonder
why it all went so wrong
I wonder, I wonder
Odd seasons came and turned our silver jet-black.
New idols fade, their gold brang on misfortune
Stone-broken snakes swallow up their poisonous drying skins
Im crouching down someone's getting closer
I see myself, passing through every open door.
I wonder,
why I'm just the poisoned one,
I wonder, I wonder
why we just can't get along
I wonder, I wonder
