IAN PARRY LYRICS

1. Continuum (In Extremis)


[Spoken part:]
The survival of mankind depends on the re-unification of our species.
Stability in society is restored, but at great cost to us all.
Mankind has evolved into a dual species and is no longer interdependent.
A Neofeminist order. Children pure in mind and heart,
Hold the key to a new realm. A world without suffering or pain,
Were war is a term used only in the old world.

[Verse]
One hundred years now things are different
Peace restored, but the cost is great
Tragically mankind has suffered
A species went it's separate ways

[Verse]
Men and women once interdependent
Now a Neofeminist order reigns
It's children pure in mind and body
In a world, without suffering or pain

[Bridge]
Microscopic entities [Backing vocal]
A dual species, our evolution changed
All part of the Continuum

[Chorus]
Continuum [Backing vocal]
How shall we travel through the centuries
Continuum [Backing vocal]
With the generations changing
Continuum [Backing vocal]
Inherently we act the same
Continuum [Backing vocal]
There's a shadow hanging over us all

[Ad-libs:] There's a shadow, a shadow hanging over us

[Repeat Chorus]

Will it ever be the same as it was, centuries before
What have we done [Shouts]
Will it ever, be the same
What have we done [Shouts]
It's time, to release mankind


2. Asylum Seekers


[Spoken part:]
Vervolging van anderen en een obsessieve drang om
Machtiger te zijn dan de rest, heeft mens tegen mens opgezet.
Persecution of others and an obsessive need to be mightier than the rest,
Has turned man against man.

[Verse]
Speculation and rumours spread anxiety
Contamination, in the foodchain leads to uncertainty

[Bridge]
The worlds media, ignoring plea's
Help feed hysteria

[Verse]
Extreme behaviour, isn't tolerated anymore
The human race is changing, asylum seekers one and all

[Bridge]
Man can't live with man
Nor in the proximity of one another

[Chorus]
Asylum seekers [Backing vocals]
Frightened children, they're on their own
Asylum seekers [Backing vocals]
Untamed animals leave well alone
They are asylum seekers [Backing vocals]
Under lock and key for their own protection
Asylum seekers [Backing vocals]
Desperately trying to find their way back home

[Middle-8:]
Reality T.V. dominates the media
Sending messages, nonsensical to every home
Violence is acceptable, a global sport for one and all
The eventuality, the human race are forever
Victims of this man-made mass hysteria


3. The Catalyst


[Verse]
Their cries for help ignored, society in disarray
It's unbelievable, what's happening
In this way, 'cos nobody heeds the warnings

[Bridge]
What will be, if we follow this path, to anarchy
The one's we love will be left in mourning
.... left in mourning

[Verse]
So the Elders of the day, gathered in their Millions
Their strength in numbers is significant
For change that will make, a difference

[Chorus]
Falling, falling
One by one as the tears keep pouring
Watch them, falling
Count the cost as the tears keep pouring

[Middle-8:]
Now there's no return, 'cos what's been done is done
The battle has been won
The Catalyst is man's own weakness

[Ad-libs]
The one's we love, you're not alone, the one's we love
You're not alone


4. Intrusions Of Madness


[Verse]
Now those days have gone
The days when people had a choice
A person could feel safe just walking, in the park
Just you and yourself, an' no-one else would interfere
How I wish, those days would reappear

[Bridge]
All attempts to stabilize society have failed
Decent people threatened by, intrusions of madness

[Chorus]
So.....
What can we do to get things done
What can we say that isn't wrong
Why must we all accept this way
What can we change to make things better like they
Once were many years before

[Verse]
Now those days have come
The days when hatred roamed the streets
Carrying out sentences, one by one
Right across the world with fear... the world with fear
As their own mistrust would change them
Cos' no-one dared to say it's wrong

[Repeat Bridge and Chorus]

[Ad-libs:]
Just like they were, many years before


5. A Momentary Lapse Of Reason


[Verse]
In a momentary lapse of reason
Toleration was something unknown
And all attempts failed, to stop all the violence
The outcome was clear [Backing vocal]
It seemed evolutionary, the dawning a new era came
A new species was born, a society in Fragmentation
With separate ways

[Bridge]
Extreme behaviour [Backing vocals]
Not accepted by all, now it's been rejected

[Chorus]
Only time will tell
If the sanctity of man prevails, a new era soon is born

[Verse]
In a momentary lapse of reason, men were about to destroy
All the beauty god gave, as the acid in rain started pouring down
So women appoint only women, with a spirit of kindness and sense
In positions of power, to eliminate years of destruction
Before it's to late

[Repeat Bridge]

[Chorus]
Only time will tell
If the sanctity of man prevails
A new era soon is coming, the birth of a brand new way

[Spoken part:] Un punto di non ritorno,
La natura aggressiva dell'uomo non puo' piu' essere tollerata, una nuova era sta iniziando.

[Ad-libs:]
Only time, only time will tell, there's a brand new day
A new day's dawning [Backing vocals]
Only time will tell, there's a brand new


6. Mirror Image


[Verse]
An' though on the outside they may look the same
Inwardly, they're many worlds apart
Uncertainty a species now divided
The fear of the unknown
Walking alone in the dark

[Bridge]
Suddenly they're cast away in silence
Like a mirror image for the good of us all
Through all of those years nothing had changed [Backing vocals]
But in this new world there are changes and more

[Chorus]
Go beyond this space [Backing vocals]
You've gotta walk on through the door
Find a better place [Backing vocals]
An' leave the past behind
Discover ways to change [Backing vocals]
You've gotta search inside your soul
Now can you see [Backing vocals]
There's a new day, a new day dawning
(There's a new, a new day)

[Verse]
A perfect generation is created
As one, without suffering or pain
Technology the father of creation
What's a child without a name
In this fatherless world

[Bridge]
Cast away into a new horizon
Embrace the soul, open your mind
Through all of those years nothing had changed [Backing vocals]
But in this this new world there are changes and more

[Repeat Chorus]


7. Sentiment In Sanctuary


[Verse]
Hidden all those years
Sentiments & ways, in sanctuary
..... in sanctuary [Backing vocals]
A biosphere of peace, and harmony is formed
The elders pass on wisdom to their... new generation

Now kindness has prevailed
Gone are strange beliefs
Those ideals of the past, don't belong in the future

[Bridge]
There's no more need for war
Now the children here are free
[Backing vocals]
All the children, all the children free, all the children

No preconceived ideas, tranquillity an' life
They're just pages in a book, captured for eternity
Now's the time, let the truth be known
Their sentiment in sanctuary

[Verse]
The warning signs, were ignored
The philosophical chosen few, made their choice
To protect them from this madness
There's only one way for mankind, to survive

[Bridge]
Decisions taken, society will change
An end to integration, but maybe not forever

[Chorus]
Sentiment in Sanctuary
Hidden values from the past
Have been saved, for (all)... one and all
Sentiments we've shared together
A hidden treasure from the past
Reveal the mysteries
Waiting there for one and all
(Just waiting there)
....in time we shall see, in time we shall see!

[Verse]
No need to shed a tear, 'cos when the future's here
Then everybody, shall live together

[Bridge]
To help each other more, is the quality of life
Turn the pages in the book, read it's there for all to see
The magic and the mysteries
Our sentiment, protected in sanctuary


8. What You Sow, You Reap


[Verse]
Throughout the centuries
Many things in time unfold
A fable or two, who cares if they're true
Those harmless stories told... so they say

[Bridge]
But was it total madness, as the signs went ignored
For some their natural instinct, showed them clearly

[Chorus]
Hollow ground
It's time to follow another way
Hollow ground
When tomorrow's brand new day

What you sow is what you reap [Backing vocals]
What you sow is what you reap [Backing vocals]

[Verse]
The way ahead was clear, an incredible task to do
Let the truth be known or may the heavens fall
Thankfully sense prevailed.... separation

[Bridge]
So there's a moral to this story
What comes around goes around
An though they're all gods children
A few, still walk on


9. Asphyxia


[Spoken part:]
Erstickend an der eigenen Schuld und im Hass gegenüber ihres Gleichen
ertrinkend war Trennung die einzige Möglichkeit um zu überleben. Eine
Alternative bestand nur in der gegenseitigen Vernichtung ohne eine einzige
Spur zu hinterlassen. In früherer Zeit Aggressor, jetzt Opfer ihrer eigenen
Schöpfung, liessen die Monomales ihre einstigen Ländereien hinter sich -
fliehend in das Ungewisse. Die Wildniss wurde zu ihrem Versteck. Ironischer
Weise wurde nun der Jäger zum Gejagten.

[Intro:]
The conscious mind, can asphyxiate
Under pressure, slowly forming

[Verse]
The hardest times have passed, the human race took asylum
Asylum from eachother, man can't live with man
Woman have achieved, global domination
It's a lonely place for many in this feministic world

[Bridge]
See the light that shining, there the people say a prayer for all
There's a new way forward

[Chorus]
Oh! can it ever be the same
As it was, long ago in a time before
And oh! Many things have changed, still there's hope
That they'll come back together once again

[Verse]
Like animals they hide, in total isolation
Agression, greed and ignorance... all to blame
An asphyxia of kinds, a mental suffocation
The hunter now the hunted, but inside the brain

[Repeat Bridge & Chorus]

[Middle-8:]
Hope, that this cloud
Which is shadowing all of them, will disappear


10. Collide-o-scope (When Past And Present Collide)


Spoken part
Les journées de conflit font enfin partie du passé.
Le débat a remplacé la nécessité de prendre les armes.
Il y a une multitude d'exemples, de manières où le passé se heurte au présent -
ce sont des sujets de conversation ou de discussions philosophiques.
On base les réponses sur la compréhension mutuelle et non sur l'ignorance.

[Intro:]
It's time to look ahead, or the past and present will collide
'cos what the future brings, is happiness for all mankind

[Verse]
Conflict and pain
Are historical emotions, now laid to rest
The ways of the past collide
With the present now, are topics for
Philosophical discussion

[Bridge]
Alone in exile, and in conflict with itself
The Monomale searches
A constant fight to come too terms
In a collide-o-scope, of morals past and present

[Verse]
Old familiar ways, an' habits never die
They're hard to change
You can't teach an old dog new tricks
It's best to let it go, on it's way
To roam across the world alone

[Bridge]
In this new order
Now a prison is a place, of great historic value
A place where children play and learn
In this society, the Neofems created

[Chorus]
Now it's a time for learning
Gone are the ways of old
Right now is the time for sharing
The knowledge learnt by all
Don't let the grass keep growing
Don't sit and watch the water flow
Don't live in the past forever
Look to the future there's a sign of hope

[Middle-8:]
Let yourself, just drift away
To where, a new place is born
A place, where children learn and play
We are as one, life and all


11. Poetic Justice


[Verse]
Was it immoral to, create a dream come true
And separate the human race
Now man's predominance
After centuries has taken it's toll
A poetic justice, as they're cast away forever

[Chorus]
Go... go... go
On a journey searching into the unknown
Now the challenge has begun

[Verse]
What will this journey bring, now only time will tell
A discovery, man's new adventure

[Repeat Chorus]

[Spoken part:] "Where lies the truth, but in the hearts and souls of many"

[Middle-8:]
Pray when shall, this search begin [Shouts]
Shall it begin, in the solstice
As the sun, reaches it's highest point
Mere mortals, all alone

[Ad-lib:] Just meer mortals, where lies the truth but in the heart
Search inside your soul


12. A Miracle Is All We Need


[Japanese bonus track]


13. As Strangers Walk By


[Japanese bonus track]

[Verse]
Oh no!
Gotto live my life, all alone
Locked away in my circular home
The world outside, doesn't have a place
Thou people stir, I don't see a face
Gotta be alone, all on my own, leave me alone

[Verse]
I'm ready to blow, I've gotta pain, a curse in me
' bout as much as I can take, I'm ready to explode
The pressure's piling up on me, I've got no-where to go
Faces stiring back at me, pray tell, it is not so... oh no!

[Chorus]
I look around an' I can't, help they way I feel towards them
Inside my head the pain it, makes me mad
My mind's exploding... my mind's exploding
(As strangers walk by)

[Verse]
Anxiety grows, into a rage internally
It happens everytime, as strangers walk by
It starts in close proximity, with contact eye to eye
A disease inherent born in me
'til the day I die...'til the day I die

[Ad-libs]
'til the day I die, as strangers walk on by
Inside my head, there's a pain that makes me mad
My mind's exploding, there's a curse deep inside of me
'til the day I die
