歌词

[00:12.072] i. Eyewitness
[00:14.062] Still waiting for my saviour, storms tear me limb from limb
[00:20.822] My fingers feel like seaweed, I'm so far out I'm too far in
[00:33.567] I am a lonely man, my solitude is true
[00:40.057] My eyes have borne stark witness, and now my nights are numbered, too
[00:53.015] I've seen the smiles on dead hands
[00:58.764] The star shines, but they're not for me
[01:15.515] I prophesy disaster and then I count the cost
[01:22.761] I shine but, shining, dying, I know that I am almost lost
[01:34.264] On the table lies blank paper and my tower is built on stone
[01:40.527] I only have blunt scissors, I only have the bluntest home
[01:52.766] I've been the witness and the seal of death
[01:58.768] lingers in the molten wax that is my head
[02:09.508] When you see the skeletons, of sailing-ship spars sinking low
[02:15.511] You'll begin to wonder if the points of all the ancients myths are solemnly directed straight at you...
[02:30.512] ii. Pictures/Lighthouse
[02:34.772] (Eddies/rocks/ships/collision/remorse.)
[02:38.261] (Instrumental)
[05:33.016] iii. Eyewitness
[05:39.763] No time now for contrition, the time for that's long past
[05:46.761] The walls are thin as tissue and if I talk I'll crack the glass
[05:59.764] So I only think on how it might have been
[06:07.214] locked in silent monologue, in silent scream
[06:14.729] I am much too tired to speak, and as the waves crash on the bleak
[06:21.460] stones of the tower I start to freak, and find that I am overcome....
[06:47.723] iv. S.H.M.
[06:55.467] "Unreal, unreal" ghost helmsmen scream and fall in through the sky
[07:02.965] Not breaking through my seagull shrieks - no breaks until I die
[07:10.465] The spectres scratch on window-slits,the hollowed faces and mindless grins
[07:17.480] are only intent on destroying what they've lost
[07:36.724] I crawl the wall till steepness ends in the vertical fall
[07:43.968] My pail has sailed into the sea -no joking hopes at dawn
[07:51.463] White bone shine in the iron-jaw mask
[07:55.465] Lost mastheads pierce the freezing dark
[08:00.162] and parallel my isolated tower...
[08:03.670] No paraffin for the flame
[08:11.156] No harbour left to gain
[08:19.614] v. The Presence of the Night/Kosmos Tours
[08:57.563] "Alone, alone" the ghosts all call
[09:04.813] pinpoint me in the light
[09:10.561] The only life I feel at all,is the presence of the night
[10:34.562] Would you cry if I died?
[10:44.827] Would you catch the final words of mine?
[10:49.314] Would you catch my words?
[10:53.572] I know that there's no time
[10:57.313] I know that there's no rhyme
[11:00.310] False signs find me
[11:01.572] I don't want to hate, I just want to grow
[11:04.565] Why can't I let me live and be free?
[11:06.825] ...But I die very slowly alone
[11:16.821] I know no more ways, I am so afraid
[11:20.326] Myself won't let me just be myself
[11:23.308] and so I am completely alone
[13:17.818] The maelstrom of my memory
[13:22.069] is a vampire and it feeds on me
[13:25.563] now, staggering madly, over the brink I fall
[13:35.317] vi. (Custard's) Last Stand
[13:45.573] Lighthouses might house the key but can I reach the door?
[14:15.215] I want to walk on the sea so that I may better find a shore
[14:35.720] but how can I ever keep my feet dry?
[14:42.716] I scan the horizon
[14:47.704] I must keep my eyes on all parts of me
[15:00.708] Looking back on the years, it seems that I have lost my way
[15:18.919] Like a dog in the night I have run to a manger
[15:22.922] now I am the stranger I stay in
[15:30.431] Ah, well
[15:38.171] All of the grief I have seen leaves me chasing solitary peace
[15:56.905] But I hold experience in my head
[16:04.420] I'm too close to the light
[16:08.910] I don't think I see right, for I blind me.
[16:26.000] vii. The Clot Thickens
[16:36.900] WHERE is the God that guides my hand?
[16:37.900] HOW can the hands of others reach me?
[16:40.000] WHEN will I find what I grope for?
[16:43.000] WHO (who, who) is going to teach me?
[16:45.000] I am me / me are we / we can't see
[16:46.900] any way out of here
[16:49.500] Crashing sea, a trophied history
[16:50.600] chance has lost my Guinevere...
[17:36.500] I don't want to be one wave in the water
[17:41.950] but sea will drag me deep
[17:48.000] one more haggard DROWNED MAN!
[18:01.900] I can see the lemmings coming, but I know I'm just a man
[18:06.900] Do I join or do I founder? Which can is the best I may?
[19:14.000] viii. Land's End (Sineline)/We Go Now
[19:24.900] Oceans drifting sideways, I am pulled into the spell
[19:34.000] I feel you around me, I know you well
[19:43.000] Stars slice horizons where the lines stand much too stark
[19:52.000] I feel I am drowning - hands stretch in the dark
[20:19.000] Camps of panoply and majesty, what is Freedom of Choice?
[20:27.000] Where do I stand in the pageantry, whose is my voice?
[20:36.000] It doesn't feel so very bad now, I think the end is the start
[20:45.000] begin to feel very glad now:
[20:49.000] ALL THINGS ARE A PART
[20:55.900] ALL THINGS ARE APART
[21:01.500] ALL THINGS ARE A PART.
