greiving - leaving...
burning - yearning

puzzles in my life - cut like a knife
the calling is so strong - the meaning of my song...

packing chattels I dont need
wild winds howl that I heed
tinker tailor soldier spy
push my buttons - got to fly

puzzels in my life - cut like a knife
the calling is so strong - the meaning of my song
a moth to the flame - who am I to blame
I feel you in my bones - I really should have known...

eagles soaring overhead
step-by-step - feet feeling dead
Archangel is my goal
answer questions in my soul...

a moth to the flame - who am I to blame
I feel you in my bones - I really should have known...
I really should have known! I really should have known

as I crossthe concrete gate
a hell I could not contemplate
Death had played her wicked game
putting innocence to flame
I really should have known!

in the visious heavy haze
my senses were ablaze
every dog has it's day
is it time for me to prey...time for me to prey...
I really should have known! I really should have known...
crystal shattered deep inside
bitter smell like cyanide
smoke is stining - my eyes weep
close my eyes and I must sleep - time for me to sleep...

like a voice in a dream you cannot place...an ancient song from a diffrent age...
an eternal hunger for something lost...

ambling through the misty sky you appear to me now
the light of all light in these stormy seas

your arrivel in this decaying terrain has stirred my once rested soul
I sense you are here but your form is hidden from veiw...

physical form was ravaged in this place at the height of the restless onslaught
but my presence remains
a voice strong enough to survive beyond the grave...

as you lay in the filth and decay, through tears in the tatterd sky
a glimmer of light is still shining somewhere in this city of Archangel

what started with bleak hope for salvation
will conclude with a desperate soul saved...

through the oceans of time I will speak to you
in your thoughts forever...

your journey ends tonight - as it began...
and I will remain forever with you...
...in Wintercoast...

he wakes up, lone tear in his eye
he was so ready to die
to die...

there in my gaze - sun rose high
I see her face in the sky
so bright...
feelings I can't justify
lifted but I dont know why
know why?

the answer in in me and where I should be - a light I did not see
no crucifiying shame to leave behind my pain - a moth to the flame?

I'm with you and will always be - inside you a small part of me
a star shooting far into space - small fragment of life in one place

the answer in in me and where I should be - a light I did not see
no crucifiying shame to leave behind my pain - a moth to the flame?

Couldn't get into Wintercoast for some reason, but absolutely love this. In fact, I liked it so much I bought the album! Some great tracks on this album.
