To Be Honest 05:52
To Be Honest Are you prepared now for initiation You've still got time, to make your exit On to the first road before the race kicked in Making good time out of here, and Towers are receding, in the distance, now you're taking the time to let your senses grow For a reason To think it all through, watching the sun drown in the sky You won't see anything like this again, in a million years You thought you could make all the plans and decide where the axe would fall Are you brave enough to walk on the ice over and over again & again & again. To be honest, I don't think so And don't be afraid of what you don't want to know You feel so alone, a million miles from now, it's the right time to be thinking with a crystal mind, it will always pay, For a fall, for the workman, he's always the last to know With his head in his hands to slip to the ground You won't see anything like this again, in a million years You thought you could make all the plans and decide where the axe would fall Are you brave enough to walk on the ice over & over again & again, again & again To be honest, I don't think so Can you see me in this game of hide and seek? Count to 10, open up your eyes and take a good look around. Second guess me, make me go blind. My soul is untethered so forsake me, and go forsake yourself! You won't see anything like this again, in a million years You thought you could make all the plans and decide where the axe would fall Are you brave enough to walk on the ice over & over again & again, again & again To be honest, I don't think so Lyrics By Stuart Anthony & Matt Appleton

Am I mistaken Did I just see her make her way across that floor It's just a trick of the light It's just a trick of the light I don't see this woman in this no horse town In the glass of no return Chorus She, she is dangerous (She is dangerous) Reaching critical with what she knows (Critical of me) And she, she will satisfy (She will satisfy) And she will survive the bitter and the sweet (Bitter & the sweet) Verse 2 Can't just stand here Like lightning just struck me I'm heading your way Like I really need to know I'm in that club light And by that table I catch that best side Say something hard under my breath x3 Verse 3 There she is There she is Like a visitation Just like a vision Like a 3D memory Like a 3D memory Like a 3D memory She, she is dangerous (She is dangerous) Reaching critical with what she knows (Critical of me) And she, she will satisfy (She will satisfy) And she will survive the bitter and the sweet (Bitter & the sweet)

Easy Sky 05:19
It’s been a long time And I looked too hard behind I hated the horizon As it swallowed up my eyes. The desert hides the oasis The night dislocates it’s jaw The stars shine out in black beauty. The water throws back the moon To the easy sky. While I’m out on the plain I meet a desert angel I wash the dust off her feet She says we all have a story to tell The desert hides the oasis The night dislocates it’s jaw The stars shine out in black beauty. While water throws back the moon To the easy sky. I hope I get what I need I hope I’ve found the salt of the earth If I know the value of everything I can’t decide what it’s worth Now everything is louder Messages are everywhere I see in sharp relief Love stands out here The desert hides the oasis The night dislocates it’s jaw The stars shine out in black beauty. The water throws back the moon To the easy sky.

It’s been some time but I still hear the song sound on high It cuts through the roar of the storm that whips round in my mind In comes the sun like an old friend I’ve not seen for days You know what I mean when I say I am touched by the rays like a hand I need an escapist to help keep me sane in this fight And when I am rested I’ll come back to put it to flight Out go the rules and in comes the colourful truth You know what I mean when I say give it up, cut it loose from the chains Come to see you in new light Nothing static, sweet with bite If I wanted, now it’s mine Speak in tongues for love Sail on seas of change Honey and warmth on my face Time for the battle can wait for my word Out go the rules and in comes the colourful truth You know what I mean when I say give it up, cut it loose from the chains Come to see you in new light Nothing static, sweet with bite If I wanted, now it’s mine Speak in tongues for love Sail on seas of change Honey and warmth on my face Time for the battle can wait for my word

Smoke drifting All across the guns Is it no surprise Where we got them from In the house of pain Shut away the dark And in the space between us Strike out the spark. Come with me, we will find The means to make amends Liberate, liberate All the prisoners in your mind… It’s the day, it’s the day When we walk right out of here Hit the road, hit the road With your destination clear So clear ‘So tempting To take up the time Where we, eat like kings & drown in oil and wine Across the mountains The sun will set And in the islands We’ll forget Come with me, we will find The means to make amends Liberate, liberate All the prisoners in your mind… It’s the day, it’s the day When we walk right out of here Hit the road, hit the road With your destination clear So clear You've go to liberate your mind people! This is an instruction to liberate your mind.

The dawning of a new day is just around the corner No-one prepared you for today The one you expected, a not so subtle twist Now the blood hammers through your veins If I take a little trip up into the hills I see this place in the distance Are you thinking of running underground I get the sense that there's nothing left The rising of the oceans, the devil's lost his way into our minds & emotions There's poison in the waters, don't let that stop you drinking What else would you drink anyway, like you've got a choice If you're glued to your Television & you see it in the news (two thousand twelve ) You better, better write it down in the (better better down ) the story that's unfolding, leading to a swift conclusion (two thousand twelve ) You better, better hope it's later than sooner! (better better later ) In the sky there's a great fire it drags a trail of sparks The great star will blaze for seven days There's a black hole that's colliding underneath the mountains The centre of our world fades away You might say all (I got) is here say It just exists by coincidence hindsight predicts (that) it's in our hands Yet people say it's more trouble than it's worth The rising of corruption, the world's a played out game Grab the rope, don't let us slip away into a world of destruction, don't let it stop you thinking What else would you think anyway, like you've got a choice If you're looking in the papers & you've read it in the news (two thousand twelve ) You better, better think again about (better better again ) the story that's unfolding, leading to a swift conclusion (two thousand twelve ) You better, better pray that it's later than sooner! (better better later ) If you're glued to your Television & you see it in the news (two thousand twelve ) You better, better write it down in the (better better down ) the story that's unfolding, leading to a swift conclusion (two thousand twelve ) You better, better hope it's later than sooner! (better better later ) The poison in the waters, a comet's on its way it brings third world war destruction The rising of the oceans, don't let it stop you sinking Where else can you go anyway, like you've got a choice

Meet me down by the riverside where we can sit 'til morning Life's too short for a heavy heart Shake off all those feelings Lets waste no time on all those things That used to keep us guessing Flow on by the waters edge as the silver moon is falling All it takes is a little push never thought I'd see you act like you do I want to show you, who can deny love? No-one ever really is alone I see the warmth return to your face I see your soul in a better place Here in this moment where it all feels right Watch all our troubles fading out to white The sun's rolling fast just beneath our feet The moment leaves us standing I told you once and you told me twice We can live on love and pleasure. Cut to the chase while we still have time A thrill never lasts forever All it takes is a little push never thought I'd see you act like you do I want to show you, who can deny love? never thought I'd see you so alone Who can deny love? Who can deny love? Who can deny love? Who can deny love?

Heavier 04:14
Heavier than my head Heavier than my breathing baby Heavier than my eyes Heavier than my footsteps baby Pick it up Pick it up Pick it up Heavier than these drums Heavier than this bass now baby Heavier than this riff Heavier than this voice now baby Baby you're the gravity that pulls me to the ground Baby don't resist the pull of freedom and desire Heavier than love Lighter than sound. Lighter than this star Lighter than my tongue now baby Lighter than this sky Lighter than this feeling baby Pick it up Pick it up Pick it up Heavier than my head Heavier than my breathing baby Heavier than my eyes Heavier than my footsteps baby Heavier than this star Heavier than my tongue now baby Heavier than that sound.

Hit & Miss 04:51
Take one more shot, you know you can't keep a good man down! There's some confusion in the air, lets sort it out, while the signs are good! I've got my hands, hold all the cards that I need to mend a broken dream, a broken heart. Hit and miss, there it goes! Here comes the fade, I've got nothing I can count on Gone are the days when the spark could be relied on Then I got a little glimpse of the unexpected All things could never be the same Just when you think you've got it alright Just when you think that you've arrived... you're starting again! Take one more shot, you know you can't keep a good man down! There's some confusion in the air, lets sort it out, while the signs are good! I've got my hands, hold all the cards that I need to mend a broken dream, a broken heart. Hit and miss, there it goes! Here comes the fade, I've got nothing I can count on Gone are the days when the spark could be relied on Then I got a little glimpse of the unexpected All things could never be the same Hit & miss was all I needed Just when you think you got it alright Just when you think that you've arrived...you're starting again! Take one more shot, you know you can't keep a good man down! There's some confusion in the air, lets sort it out, while the signs are good! I've got my hands, hold all the cards that I need to mend a broken dream, a broken heart. Hit and miss, there it goes! It's not quite true, but then again I could hold it down There's some confusion in the air, lets sort it out while the signs are good! I've got my hands, hold all the cards that I need to mend a broken dream, a broken heart. Hit and miss, there it goes! Breathe into life all of my dead words from the page A hit and miss & there it goes, well the signs are good! So I got a little glimpse of the unexpected, take one more shot! A broken dream, a broken heart. Hit and miss, there it goes! So I got a little glimpse of the unexpected. Take one more shot, Left it behind, kicked my heels down the only road I've got my hands, hold all the cards that I need to mend. Take one more shot, you know you can't keep a good man down. Hit and miss, there it goes!

Cyclone 06:22
V1.You gave me nothing in return For what I gave you You made sure everything got burned away So nothing returned I asked if I could be of service But you were so well served You made sure that I couldn’t get through I broke my head on the wall And I thought I was lost And I thought I was lost CH.But I’ve healed my mind Made my heart unwind Put my back into the grindstone Things were bad before Now I take the floor And I will outrun the cyclone V2.You sailed your ship into the harbour With false pretences You held me in your grip of fever I was dying of thirst You held my hopes down under promises That never came true I couldn’t hope to find my answers When I was asking you And I thought I was lost And I thought I was lost CHX2.But I’ve healed my mind Made my heart unwind Put my back into the grindstone Things were bad before Now I take the floor And I will outrun the cyclone May this memory of a failing love Begin to fade I watch you fall back down to Earth I see you falling out of the sky But I’ve healed my mind Made my heart unwind Put my back into the grindstone Things were bad before Now I take the floor And I will outrun the cyclone DFG Stabs Our worlds didn’t meet Different sides of the street We couldn’t compete Was it something I said? I didn’t catch what you meant. The roaring sound made me deaf.

The Knight of all seasons stares across At June & July, with August's loss Ambitions, flowered through March, April and May As they shortened the night, and lengthened the day Chorus 1 The holly and the evergreen, weave through Winters's crown The Knight stands heavily draped in Scorpio's gown Then he smiles in the fires glow, for this is Christmas, Call the North Wind and let the snow blow Verse 2 An icy stare strikes August's eye Disharmony falls at the fault of July September, is seven, and October is eight December is ten by name and by place Chorus 1 The holly and the evergreen, weave through Winters's crown The Knight stands heavily draped in Scorpio's gown Then he smiles,in the fires glow, for this is Christmas, Sing and let the wine flow.... Mid 8 March had no wind, April no showers, A good Summer in England, Lost count of the hours From work to fruition, in deep harvest gold Now we are twelve when once we were ten in our days of old. Chorus 1 The holly and the evergreen, weaves through Winters's crown The Knight stands heavily draped in Scorpio's gown Then he smiles in the fires glow, so this is Christmas Sing and let the wine flow... So here's to the new year and and all unknown friends To harmony in nature, may it never end. So celebrate and always remember The Twelfth Knight at your table the king of December The King Of December The King Of December The King Of December The King Of December Lyrics by Peter Antony
