LYRICS
 
1. Anywhere Out Of The World
We scaled
the face of reason
to find
at least one sign
that would reveal
the true dimensions
of life...
lest we forget.

And maybe it's easier to withdraw from life,
with all of its misery and wretched lies,
away from harm.

We lay
by cool, still waters
and gazed
into the sun.
And like the moth's
great imperfection,
succumbed
to her fatal charm.

And maybe it's me who dreams unrequited love,
the victim of fools who watch
and stand in line away from harm!

In our vain pursuit
of life for one's own end
will this crooked path
ever cease to end?
 
3. In The Wake Of Adversity
Hey Patrice, don't cry they've no reason to argue at all
they don't realise that the angels surround you with light
they don't understand their narrow ways defeat them where they stand
they don't realise you hide the sadness beneath a painted smile.
Ignorance, that line of fools steers a wayward path
and set the course upon which we sing into the night of uncertainty.
Following the stars that make their way across the sky
valuing the love that land brings to our eyes
We sail...
 
4. Xavier
 
Fair roseanna your vagrancyís a familiar tale
Fraught with danger the lives you led were judged profane

Hatred enfolds us
Inculcates the minds with itís heresy
Laymen enfold us
Clemency arrives to set you free

Faith
Although xavier has prayed
That life-giving waters may rain
Down on the souls of man
To cure them of their ways

These were the sins of xavierís past
Hung like jewels in the forest of veils
Deep in the heart where the mysteries emerge
Eve bears the stigma of original sin

Freedom so hard when we are all bound by laws
Etched in the seam of natureís own hand
Unseen by all those who fail in their pursuit of faith

Although xavier has prayed
That life-giving waters may rain
Down on the souls of man
To cure them of their ways

And as the night turns into day
Will the sun illuminate your way
Or will the nightmares come home to stay
Xavierís love lies in chains

These were the sins of xavierís past
Hung like jewels in the forest of veils
