Passage

Climb aboard this ship and leave today
The passengers continue on their way
I don’t know where I will go or who I’ll meet
I only know this journey’s incomplete
Let the sails out leave now with the tide
Set a course across the waiting sea
I am just a traveller in this life
Destination yet to be revealed

Bad Neighborhood
05:53
|
|

|
Hijacked to ground spiraling down
Like a bug ‘round the drain
Knocked into night spectrum of light
Folding into the gray
“Welcome back sir
You’ll be serving a sentence of life
Have a nice day
And thanks for your sacrifice”
Bad neighborhood where I’ve arrived
Familiar face nowhere in sight
All out of good in a bad neighborhood
I must have turned wrong at the light
There’s mistake ‘cause I’ve got a date
With an angel I know
Now if you’ll just take off these handcuffs
I’ll get back on the road
“What’s the rush sir?
Take your time and enjoy the sights
Good behavior
And you’re out by the end of times”
Bad neighborhood where I’ve arrived
Familiar face nowhere in sight
All out of good in a bad neighborhood
I must have turned wrong at the light
Bad neighborhood where I’ve arrived
Familiar face nowhere in sight
Bad neighborhood
Gonna leave this place for good
Got to find my own way to the light

Stuck Under
04:57
|
|
||
|
I am down here in the dark
I’m the keeper of your soul
Once a good son then cast from the kingdom
An angel far from home
Disobey the will divine
Kick the world upon it’s side
Is it so really low what I’ve done here
To make creation mine
Will I ever climb back again?
I’m stuck under
I haven’t seen the sky for so long
My only desire
To retake my place
And make His house my home
I would like to quit this hell
And leave the job to someone else
No offense meant to my father and his works here
But this business don’t suit well
If I manage to rise from the ground
Then I promise to never fall back down
I’m stuck under
I haven’t felt the sun for so long
My one whole desire
To earn back my place by the throne
And make His house my home
He separates the good from bad
He draws you back to sane from mad
I could be you, you could be me
We could be one another
We’re only looking for a savior
Looking for the one
Searching for heaven in an empty room
Our fates are slowly changing
Someday we’ll leave this all behind
But I’m still stuck under

Son Of Someone
04:43
|
|
||
|
I was born out of luck
In a beaten up bus
With a ghost hanging over me
Only one the unfortunate son
I’m the boy with the absent piece
I’m trying to get to you
I’ve got to know the truth
Just when I think I can’t reach you
There’s something down deep
Telling me to
Wait a little longer
‘Cause there’ll be a right time
Father of the future
When he comes it will be done
You will be the son of someone
I used to live with my mom and my sis
Rolling round town to town on the old highway
Travelled light, she said “Why should I fight
when I know that it’s all gonna blow away?”
She said:
He’s gonna get to you
If you can let him through
And when you think there’s no time
Hear the words in your mind
Telling you just
Wait a little longer
‘Cause there’ll be a right time
Father of the future
When he comes it will be done
When he comes you’ll be the son of someone
He’s gonna get to you
If you can let him through
And when you think there’s no time
Hear the words in your mind
Telling you just
Wait a little longer
‘Cause there’ll be a right time
Father of the future
Reach out to the lonely ones
‘Cause everyone’s the son of someone

The End Of Me
06:17
|
|
||
|
I was born so early in the morning
After hours I was already ten
I don’t understand what happens
Six o’clock I hear the doctors talking
“At this rate he will not make it ’til dawn”
And it hurts so bad to be growing
Why does it go so fast all for nothing?
Running out of time
Flying high
Paint the sky
With the end of me
Almost out of life
Crazy racing over me
I’m just makin’ time
While there’s still time
I know today will be the end of me
Old and gray and I still got no answers
My twenty-four hours have all slipped away
I’ll be coming back for a new day
For another chance at a getaway
Always out of time
Flying by
Paint the sky
With the end of me
Almost out of life
Crazy racing over me
I’m just makin’ time
While there’s still time
Minutes hours
Passing like rain showers
I’m born I die
I never know just why I’m
Caught in this circle I
Crawl up fall downhill
Hold on to the things
I could not leave behind
Running out of time…
...’Til the end of me
Almost out of life
Crazy racing over me
I’m just makin’ time
While there’s still time
I know today will be the end of me

I don’t know why I’m so cold inside
Trapped in twilight senses compromised
Carried on a wave until it dies
Only to drift alone
With a tide that has wandered
Far from home
If none of this is real and I am dust
Still I seek my source because I must
The gears of this machine have gone to rust
If a door can be opened once
Then there must be a way to return
I’m not supposed to be here
My home is higher
No matter how I go astray
You wait so patiently
Oh Heaven help me understand
That I must surrender
That on my own I’ll never make it through
The map I need is you
I’m not supposed to be here
My home is higher
No matter how I lose my way
I know you’ll wait for me
Oh Heaven help me fly away
From an empty space where nothing’s true
I’m not supposed to be here
Where are you?

Unvirtual Reality
04:57
|
|
||
|
Frozen in place by a wall of screens
Captured in a frame like a movie scene
Versions of a life that might not be
All lined up in a gallery
Focus on 9 gonna wind it back
Now we’re gonna see how you will react
Never make it through with the things you hate
Love too much and you slam the gate
Unvirtual Reality
The cure for this duality
Behind the scenes we have the means to
Smash materiality
And terminate this fallacy
You must break through this wall
Unbuild it all
Anchored in place once upon a time
Sorting out souls on the borderline
Building you a bridge to the other side
A narrow way through the Great Divide
Gotta make a choice gotta get it right
See what you do in a brighter light
Perfection of a life that could’ve been
This game deactivates your sins
Unvirtual reality
The cure for this insanity
Shake off this curse we can reverse this
Individuality
Restore originality
If you get through this wall
Unthink it all
Off the radar
Your true North Star
We’re the unseen
The Holy Ghost in the machine
Unvirtual Reality
The cure for this duality
Behind these scenes we have the means to
Smash materiality
Obliterate this fallacy
You must break through
Can you break through…this wall
Unvirtual reality
Quest for immortality
You must believe we can achieve the
Point of criticality
Reaction of mentality
Find the way through this maze
Unvirtual reality
The cure for this insanity
We’ll disconnect your neural net
Recode your functionality
Define a new normality
When you break through it all
Unbuild this wall

Pleased To Meet Me
05:37
|
|

“Follow me”
Just said a ghost who looks like me
“Once you believe in a destiny
You are not alone anymore”
“Can you see?”
He says and a light shoots right through me
“When you accept the supremacy
Your mind is like an open door”
Pleased to meet me
We are chasing the dragon’s steam
We’re erasing the frail line we dream
Between you and me
Pleased to meet thee
There’s no alone anymore
Is this me?
Or only a clever effigy
Hiding a truth I cannot see
Now I can’t be sure anymore
“Please do tell
Were you expecting someone else?
Maybe the sound of Heaven’s bells
Don’t you think you could be something more?”
Pleased to meet me
We are chasing the dragon’s steam
We’re erasing the frail line we dream
Between you and me
Pleased to meet thee
We’re not alone
Piece by piece, missing links
Together we reach escape velocity
And fly to infinity
Pleased to meet me
We are chasing the dragon’s steam
We’re erasing the frail line we dream
Between you and me
Pleased to meet thee
We’re not alone anymore
There’s no alone anymore
Piece by piece
We’re not alone

Father Of The Future
03:40
|
|
||
|
Since I said my goodbyes
To every earthly tie
I have not been home
Search the open wide
Where devils and angels ride
For the one unknown
Born to roam this make-believe
Looking for our legacy
Like an open book
Like a poem divine
I’ve got the father of the future in my mind
Like a gentle storm
Churning me inside
I feel the father of the future
The father of the future in my mind
When that which is perfect comes
What was in part will be done
Counting down to one
Darkly through a glass
A prisoner from the past
This trap has come undone
Time will take us to the brink
Make us either swim or sink
Like the missing verse
In a perfect rhyme
I’ve got the father of the future in my mind
Like a dusty shore
And a swollen tide
I meet the father of the future in my mind
Like an exploding star
Supernova sign
I see the father of the future in my mind
There was a secret source
Hiding all this time
I hear it singing in the silence of
The father of the future, the father of the future
The father of the future in my mind

Work Of Art

Gaze at my hands and I wonder
Am I still me or another
Scratch my skin but feel no pain
Bone dry in the rain
Where do they come from beauties and beasts
The color of blood the most and the least
Ages pass and time unfurls
Still He builds these worlds
Earth and sky the waters did divide
Could all this be the chance result of a reaction
Flesh and bone a temporary home
Made by heart it’s a work of art
Can I believe the portrait I see?
Transmitter sends and I receive
Message from a foreign land
The Architect has plans
Earth below the sky the waters did divide
Could all this be the chance result of a reaction
Flesh and bone a temporary home
Made by heart it’s a work of art
Earth and sky the waters did divide
Could all this be the chance result of a reaction
Flesh and bone a temporary home
Made by heart it’s a work of art
Earth below the sky the waters did divide
Could all this be the chance result of a reaction
Flesh and bone a temporary home
Made by heart it’s a work of art

Portal

Open up a portal in my heart
Passage from what is to what can be
Nothing left to do or say return to the start
The restless ocean moving under me
Nothing else can hold me here go back to the start
Find the only place I’m meant to be
Sail beyond the line
Leave your world behind
Reach for distant shores
In search of nothing more….
In search of nothing more
So wrap me in your gentle arms of light
Take me to the edge of destiny
I am just a traveller in this life
Destination still unknown to me
Strange destination still unknown to me

Every track shows the tremendous talents of all four members. What makes this album so good to me is each song has its own groove and the songs are the kind that make you want to sing along. This album for me is the modern day AC/DC "Back in Black or Guns n Roses Appetite for Destruction. An instant classic. You guys Rock!!!
