Time For Your Leaving

We're going to where we began Theres too much deceit And you've let too much go by Time for your leaving There is no Heaven There is no Hell You're destroying all we’ve got Time for your leaving Stand in the grass That's where the trees once stood Can you see a thousand orange streetlights? Can you see a thousand orange streetlights? They look like lava They look like Lava One or the other? You'll choose the cheapest It will prove the most expensive..... In the end When the hungry lie down There are no comets in the skies Only catastrophe and lies Time for your leaving Time for your leaving…

Open Fire

How come we know each other? So much has been forgotten   All Agents everywhere And nowhere Open fire!   The gift of life is right here Is it too much for you?   All Agents everywhere And nowhere Open Fire!   All our demands were never met And they abandoned us   All Agents everywhere and nowhere open fire!   If reason cannot stop them Then all the madmen will   If reason cannot stop them Then all the madmen will   All Agents Everywhere And Nowhere Open Fire!   Words by Mark from Last Under The Sun - All Empires Crumble CD

Not In My Name

Just How Stupid Greed can make you   Not in My Name Not in My Name   We must take death from the village We must take death from the village   Are these the last days that we’ll have to call our own   Is this the last chance that we’ll have to tell them…….   No   Words by Mark from Last Under The Sun - All Empires Crumble CD

Bring Me Their Heads

Bring me the heads of your leaders I want them to tell me what all this killing is for Bring me the list, of all of the troops and civilians That fell in the name of their war You’re bought and you’re sold and they’re coming for more You’re too easy to flatter……. The sixties have gone, and how fast does time fly? This is no way to stop war Bring me their heads, bring me their heads, bring me their heads The Harvest this year was as bad as we feared The crops have all failed Here is the proof that your GM crops are no good Someone must pay…..…

Ride Your Ride

Sorry I'm Late, I had trouble getting here I met a man, yes another strange one I was standing, Looking up at the thunderclouds He said he was, the man who keeps the sky   What kind of people are these Who put more value on property than people Who put their wealth before their wisdom Who fill the air with dust and all these poisons   I can carry, the sound with my bare hands Of the ships bells passing in the night I tend to the roofgardens of the world Rest your tears, let me show you how to make it rain   The path of life is not…

Days

I can see the lights of this place Out across the water Silently they pass on the tide The watchers keep me awake Do not look your days in the eye I can feel the freezing on my skin And these thoughts are something lost On the oceans of memory Awash with pictures that flash and fade Do not look your days in the eye Do not look your days in the eye They will only look deeper into you Do not look your days in the eye And now I'm falling, I'm falling overboard Silently they pass on the tide And I'm slipping through these dreams On a clear night…

Stop the Engines

I have come down unknown paths To the sand on the shoreline Like a last man standing at the ends of the earth I have come here to speak With the ocean With the ocean   I do not recognise your currency Stop the engines Stop the engines   The silence is seething all around me The spirits of the dead will live again The tide slips and flows with the cycles of the sun and the moon The spirits of the dead will live again   From far across the water like a silvery dawn The words blew in from the atlantic "If you lock yourselves in cages of fear…

Brother

This could be anywhere my friend The same things day after day Don't be afraid cos I'm just someone to lean on You're not alone you're like a brother to me   You're like a brother to me   "X" Marks the spot I know you'll never give in It's too late to stop all of this now These bridges are burning and I'm feeling them pushing and Pushing and pushing I have my dreams and I've got my reasons   You're like a brother to me   You take the sting out of my eye All these straight lines and these walls You take the needles from my side You…

Footprints

I am forever Walking these shores Of sand and these white horses The tide will wipe out my footprints But I know you will find me   And what is right What is wrong What is true What is not   Their shadow, which destroys the land Soars like an eagle across the sun Take a look at the cities and all of these towns All these motorways and these roads   And what is right What is wrong What is true What is not   Your business of good, and business of bad They don't mean a thing my friend   If you go to the rivers or to the…

This Business

This business is a bloody one And these hands are dripping Every night I can hear them Banging on the inside   This business   I've tried to turn my eyes away But still I hear them I don't know if I can do this anymore I find the words so hard to find   This business   Can't go on in silence As if all time stands still Shadows gather round us And there's a devil.....that lies within   I can't go on in silence I could never draw that line Like the black ice of a frozen heart There's a devil deep inside   This business There's a devil.....…

Threads

There's always someone, to take your place There's always something, to spend your money on You never find the time, to do what you wanted to You have other reasons, why you could never stop   It's just a job, it's just a job to you   And now I'm hanging, by the smallest thread And I'm looking, for a cliff to sleep on All this picking, through these wasted days Watch me change my shape, slip into another form   It's just a job, it's just a job to you   Let me take you to the fields Let me feed from your touch It's just a job to you…

Magnesium Man

Let me tell you about a man I once knew Bit of a strange one He used to keep snails in his bedside table Everyone used to call him the magnesium man   The magnesium man shivered and buttoned his coat against the cold And he stepped outside.....outside He smiled as he looked up through the pale winter sunlight At all the meteor showers And taking that bag in his hand he turned the key in the door behind him And headed down the path into the road   If you're lucky you might see him Standing on the corner As he passes by your front window pane If you're lucky,…

The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea

The patient man sits silently On a bench by the ocean He's learning his lesson patiently The lesson of the sea   He said "I've seen The light at the end of the world And now my friend You must make your choice Between the devil and the deep blue sea"   There is a fire across the heavens At night when all is still It's just your imagination And only there can you be truly free   He said "I've seen The light at the end of the world And now my friend You must make your choice Between the devil and the deep blue sea"   With every footprint…

One Minute, or a Lifetime

...Whilst you were fast asleep last night And lost, within your dreams I got up from your bedside And I turned the nightlight out I had to step into the darkness   At last I feel this sadness Lifted from my shoulders At last the weight is gone It's lifted from my shoulders   I felt the voices speaking A man's life is short You will ask for nothing You will learn to heal All this fear at last is fading   At last I feel this sadness Lifted from my shoulders At last the weight is gone It's lifted from my shoulders   One minute Or a lifetime Is all…
