ARCANE LYRICS

1. Glimpse


The angel smiles, and says she's waiting for someone.
Calm as a seamless ocean, she walks a path yet untrod,
The path unmarked by her softest feet.
In my waking dream, I catch a glimpse of longing in her eyes.
Eyes as soft and gentle as a lovers embrace.
But she simply smiles again and says,
"Be gone. Trouble me no more."
The image fades,
Her smile remains,
As vivid and inviting as it ever was.
But just as clear as her smile remained,
One thing was certain...
The angel was gone.


2. The Seer


Find life in stillness,
Breath in stone,
And understand, learn,
Know what I've known.
Something in what she whispered to me...
'My time grows nearer... now leave me be.'
As the sun's grip slips, the moon watches and learns,
She was gauging the distance as the clouds edges burned.
As the sun's grip slips, the moon watches and learns,
So here I'll remain, and await her return.
Find life in stillness,
Breath in stone,
And understand, learn,
Know what I've known.
If you show your faith,
Through gold and silver,
You'll be rewarded:
Moments with her...
Have faith, my children!
She whispers to me...
Her time grows nearer,
So come join me.
As the sun's grip slips, the moon watches and learns,
She was gauging the distance as the clouds edges burned.
As the sun's grip slips, the moon watches and learns,
So here I'll remain, and await her return.
Find life in stillness,
Breath in stone,
And understand, learn,
Know what I've known.


3. The Malice


Tell me what can you see
When you look over there,
By the cross on the wall,
And the winding stair?
Adrift in the malice,
Creeps closer again.
A mirror hangs off.
I can't help but look through, and look back.
He asks me, 'What do you see
When you look in my eyes?
In the empty holes, floating, paralyzed?
See the cross on the wall?
Hear them chained as they cry...
Now you remember me.
Look in my eyes.'
She asks me, 'What do you see
When you look over there?
By the face in the hall,
And the bodies laid bare...
Now can you see,
As you sit and you stare?
They're coming for you now,
Up the winding stair...'
One for two up winding stair,
Invited second wave,
This tumbling two, this wicked pair
Make cowards of the brave.
Driven by desire to inflict pain that never diminishes,
These tortured, twisted victims of a song that never finishes.
I'll tell you what I can see
When I meet the cold stare
On the face in the hall,
One that's not yours to wear...
A weak little creature!
Pathetic disgrace.
Twisting the image,
How dare you use his face?
I'll tell you what I can see.


4. The First Silent Year


[Instrumental]



5. Secret


Looking back, it was such a vivid image.
I was on my own.
Kept thinking she would be waiting for me
To go hold her hand, and then I would go play with her.
See, I was on my own.
She wouldn't make me cry.
Wouldn't throw me down on the ground.
Wouldn't tell me lies.
Not like them.
A secret,
Since I was nine,
Not our little secret,
So I have kept it mine.
I'll never tell.

I was always alone.
She could've been my only friend,
I was not the one she was waiting for.
This secret,
I've kept it mine,
Her eyes looked for someone else,
But that's OK. I'm fine.
This secret,
I've kept it mine,
Her eyes looked for someone else,
Along a burning line.
I'll never tell.
They'll wanna know,
But I'll never tell.


6. Fading


Dear you;
You know who you are.
Thought I wouldn't make it this far,
I thought I'd never hear a voice like yours again,
Catch myself humming it every now and then,
The tune I taught myself to hate,
The day I called out, just too late.
Like broken matchsticks out of place,
She lay cold and lifeless,
While I screamed what seemed like silence,
At unrelenting rivers of cold and empty eyes.
Unrelenting rivers of cold and empty eyes,
'Til mine met yours.
But you are there,
How could I forget?
This was her last day,
Was her last day.
Until my eyes met yours.
A tune broke the silence,
I carried with me,
A growing crescendo,
Soaring ever higher, higher,
The rivers and dismissals fade,
Into obscurity.
I begged you to take me,
To take me instead please,
Just let her stay please,
Take me instead,
Please,
I begged you to take me instead.
But you looked right through me,
As she faded away.
Forget this.
I'm done.


7. The Second Silent Year


[Instrumental]



8. May 26


Hold me.
Want to get lost in your dark black hair.
Touch me.
The deep frost melts away...
You are there.
I know you're not her,
But for now,
You'll do.
Soft eyes search the horizon,
As her face, not yours, shines through
To comfort me,
For the briefest time.
No solace here, despite the fact that I've let go.
But for one moment,
I remember her.
Hold me.


9. The Third Silent Year


[Instrumental]



10. Asylum: Acolyte Zero


Something hidden deep in the sound,
The lost blind man's sight found.
Provided with a now, not to be its slave,
Hidden in a moment is the secret she saved.
Provided with a now, not to be its slave,
Hidden in a moment is the secret she saved,
Provided with it then, little secrets that I had craved,
Hidden in your question is the answer she gave.
That can't be what I saw...
I close my eyes,
But silence leaves me with the memory
Of sober infidelity,
While static creeps through cracks and double vision.
Something in sound...
(Something for everyone)
Blind man's sight found...
(Something for everyone)
Something hidden in the sound...
I've seen beauty but it's never been quite like this
Absorbed whole by the light of a promised kiss
Trapped in eyes that search deeply from in her hands
And it's me that she wants, and I understand.
I've been crazy but it's never been quite this strange,
As moments sift through one another they're bound to change,
Panicked search for recognition, but the image fades,
Nothing left but the warmth of her smile remains.
I close my eyes,
But silence trickles down my spine,
As the sun becomes a line,
And darkness crushes thought with its derision.
In a single room, my padded tomb,
I'm left to my own dark tricks,
I'll live forever in a dream,
A frozen scream,
Memories of May 26.


11. Whisper


She called me out into the street,
I heard my name echoing down familiar ground.
Her eyes in hand, wide open,
Saw it all begin,
Garden of memory to keep me in.
In silence called,
In fear and awe I caught her smile,
In tears, I understood,
Just for a while.
I will recall the place that I had briefly been,
Where I'd seen her.
My waking dream.
