Profession Quatermass, where are you? Professor Quatermass, where are you? Mankind returns to the stars, but sometimes the stars return to mankind Didn't you come this way before, a million years ago?
I wake in sweat, you've come to steal my life away Some strange electric glow of artifical day the power breakers closed, the grid of darkness falls shining gleaming black as night, burning all the light CHORUS: What do you want from me? I sense your mastery There's something you won't ever find So have your way with me This prisoner is never free Rip me up leave me behind Are you the truth to sit in judgement on my sins? Evil laser gadgets come to penetrate my skin The hanging judge is open and I'm damned before his eyes Another genesis that failed, how many more have tried? REPEAT CHORUS SOLO And so the story goes I dreamt this long ago Highways hidden in the sand reveal the truths I know They took my worthless heart and spat it through their eyes Abduction means the end for me a million years of misery What do you want from me? I sense your mastery There's something you won't ever find So have your way with me This soldier's lost his victory Rip me up leave me behind
We ride the cosmic streams of time We are the fools who came to trust We blind the eyes of history We tear ourselves down from your cross Half lives, we live again Half lives, now we are one CHORUS: We're the soul intruders in the whirling void at night We're the soul intruders and we're crying for the light We're the soul intruders with no life of our own I'm a sole survivor, but who sits on my throne? Solar winds have taken hold Blowing us where, we do not know Existence silent and unknown Father, son and viral host Half lives, eat but never kill Half lives, we live as well REPEAT CHORUS SOLO Half lives, eat but never kill Half lives, we live as well REPEAT CHORUS
Blood brothers of angels, now hear us We earthbound, your offspring, don't fear us God willing will rise up be near you So open your arms now and take us So we're breathing our dreams like the Icarus of old The plans we made for the bold In the blue eyed beyond, there's nowhere to hide there's no going back now CHORUS: As the wind whips over the hillside Twenty knots over Kill devil hill Steady wind blows over the sand Twenty knots over Kill devil hill As the breeze whips straight as an arrow Let her go over Kill devil hill Gasoline and wind in the wires Kill devil hill and the way into the stars We stand on this seashore and wonder What madness, what secrets we plunder All failure we learn from discovery The wreckage of heaven lies on the sand First chance is abandoned With woodstring and wire we can barely control our desire for destinys arrows REPEAT CHORUS There are no secrets, only our dreams There are no secrets, only our dreams There are no secrets, only our dreams There are no secrets, only our dreams
Distant earthrise long ago lingers at the borders of our minds Mysteries spinning in the dark in the frozen emptiness of time We were lost and we never knew who we were or what we left behind Living half lives we were blind to the new frontiers that opened up our eyes To find our minds were spinning souls entwined in a spiral dance the ancient ways have found us again to give us one last chance Living in this place, staring into space we find we might share the corners of our lives Infinity runs deep, eternity that we can't keep melting through the frozen wastes of time So we go and we'll not return to navigate the seas of the sun Our children will go on and on to navigate the seas of the sun (x2) We can't go on tomorrow living death by gravity Culdn't stand it anymore we sail our ships to distant shores Purple gold and blue, living colors every hue flowers in the garden of the gods no one can ever know, if you never saw them grow but this darkness is really full of light SOLO Well beyond the earth, beyond all things that gave us birth we'll navigate the seas of the sun If God is throwing dice and Einstein doesn't mind the chance we'll navigate the seas of the sun Infinity runs deep, eternity that we can't keep we'll navigate the seas of the sun Flowers of our souls, purple blue and gold we'll find to navigate the seas of the sun So we know who we are even in this frozen waste we'll navigate the seas of the sun Living in this place staring into space we'll find we'll navigate the seas of the sun well beyond the earth beyond all things that gave us birth we'll navigate the seas of the sun If Einstein's throwing dice and God he doesn't mind the chance we'll navigate the seas of the sun And flowers of the soul, purple blue and gold we'll find we'll navigate the seas of the sun and who we were before, eternity that we can't keep we'll navigate the seas of the sun flowers of the soul...
Break the bread and drink the wine Seize the challace, suck the poison vine There is frost in every sunbeam water flows from the earth to sky Looking down on every rose nothing moves the wheel of heaven turns As our fingers leave there trace we are gods and the world returns, uprise CHORUS: Now at last you can't disguise the river of no return Now it's time you realise, the river of no return Glowing embers of our ancient lives We struggle hard, we live to turn the tide Living longer in the astral waste We stare each other, we looked death in the face All my life in front of you lonely secrets hidden from your view Now we orbit a different sun for eternity, doomed to tell no one REPEAT CHORUS SOLO Now we're truly all alone Canyon walls and the river of no return I'm amazed at what I am I never knew the feelings I ignored Now at last you can't disguise the river of no return Now it's time we realise, the river of no return And the anguish drives me on, I wish i could return All alone and washed away to the river of no return
Is this a citadel? Is this a prison cell? Who sits at my right hand now? Who's watching me now? Who's made us live this way? When do i get my say? Automation turns us into human beings now Tripping over faces Humanity has fallen Huddled into doorways and the streets at dawn CHORUS: The power of the sun keeps us moving on Spinning ever faster The city never sleeps, the echoes of the footfalls Already in the past Every dawn arrives The gathering of the tribes Shattered waves of people breaking over city walls Never out of touch But always on your own Trapped inside the logic of your own communication zone What deals have been done? Who's under the gun? Stay one step ahead of the next in line REPEAT CHORUS SOLO The cameras never lie The ghost of you and I Already in the past Inside our picture frame we'll vanish once again Now the dawn is coming fast REPEAT CHORUS
You wanna know where legends live At the rainbows end I'll be there There's a place in inner space That's where I'll get to you I'm not the shy retiring kind Like a supernova for the blind I used to sit at God's right hand but I clean that show into my one night stands CHORUS: Coming out of nowhere, I'm a god headed rider You won't see my face no more My machine has left the floor Leave my rivals in the dirt I've seen your world and I've got the shirt Before I leave and go my way I've loved it but I couldn't stay There's nothing bad for you to feel Just remember me You might see me in Tokyo To the rings of Saturn, hey, let's go And you could trip all the life with me But your one time chance is never free I see you baby once again Maybe three score ?years? and ten I've been driving a different ship So when I take you down for your final trip REPEAT CHORUS SOLO Coming out of nowhere, I'm a god headed rider REPEAT CHORUS
Smoking resting on its grave The carcass rusting where it lies No more truth, no honest games the serpent writhes within us all Lava streams of molten flesh into their mountain holes retire Now sleeping eyes of death awake your drug of choice, truth or lie CHORUS: I believe, you and me I believe, evil I believe, you will see I believe, evil What does not kill it makes it strong The carcass stares it will not die It feeds on you, it feeds on me I know his name, you know mine too REPEAT CHORUS REPEAT CHORUS
When shall we three meet again? In thunder, lightning, or in rain? When the hurlyburly's done? When the battle's lost, not won? CHORUS: A tyranny of souls that love has lost A tyranny of souls, a pentecost Speaking tongues of fire, enflaming our desires Watching as we die Who rips the child out from the womb? Who raise the dagger, who plays the tune? At the crack of doom on judgment day No ocean could wash my sins away REPEAT CHORUS On our own cross A tyranny of souls We are the black space We are the black light We shine where no others dare Killin' my hater from beyond Suffering the fate of no reason No is a relative stranger to my life Deeds of the fateful Seeds of betrayal Hammer the nail into my hand Anger is ruler in my land I am the killer of weakness in my head We are the black light We are the black space SOLO REPEAT CHORUS On our own cross REPEAT CHORUS
