the Gathering - Waking Hours

The eyes are made to see
They see the paths of our lives

The heart is there to feel
It feels the energy of our time

I can see it
I can feel it

This is my waking hour
This is my place
I can hear it
I feel the power in my heart
And is my moment
It is right there
And it's staring me in the face

Disguise and make-believe
I see the end of all demise
The only way to heal
Is in the honesty of your eyes

The fight is done
And who are we to judge
What will become
All the iron armour
Is laid down away
Followed by the heroes
Who belong on rested earth, we pray
We feel the rescue coming near
Within the woken soul to hear
we sense the calm all wrapped in fear
And all the while we heed
The senses way too vast to see
We beg of you to not let go
Our names will provide us with a soul

Falling down
Start again
Life can bring you down
The monumental truth
Of ellegance in you

Falling for
A part of who you are
Makes you shine inside

Mesh - Petrified

You're the breath in us too
You're the test of what's true
You're the one that stops them
You've become the problem
It's just a different side
Of the many walls in your mind
The walls, the secret panels
Built with knives and hammers

Petrified
By what you've done - and you've just begun
I hope you get your way
But what a price to pay
Petrified
By what you've done - and you've just begun
I hope you get your way
But what a price to pay

You're the pain I go through
To get to where I need to
You're the retribution
A sordid institution
It's just a different way
Of "saving face", as you say
A face that spares no malice
That drinks the poisoned chalice

(repeat chorus)

You take the falling rain
You make the sun that dried it
You shoulder all the blame
You've got the strength to hide it
Led emotion to the door
Remind me who you were before
(Petrified)

You are the wheels in motion
A wave of self-promotion
You beat a different drum
The rhythm's strong, but no fun
You are the vengeful hand
That tasted sweet, but so bland
You are my one protection
But you try to hard to get them

(repeat chorus)
