Fantasy
Tune in to the show
The wonderful show
Telling us all the things we know
How to achieve
What we believe
Though we are free we never leave
There's nowhere to go to
Outside the fantasy
Fantasy
The old puppeteer
Tonight he is here
He’s going to show us what we fear
The marionette
Posing a threat
Living inside the TV set
There's nowhere to go to
Outside the fantasy
Fantasy
There's nowhere to go to
Outside the fantasy
Fantasy
Stay tuned to the show
There's no need to go
Here we’ve got everything we know
What to believe
All we can possibly conceive
Though we are free we never leave
There's nowhere to go to
Outside the fantasy

Don't You Believe In Magic?
I hear the song
I hear the song I'll be hearing forever more
Like a calling from long before the world had made you mine
I’ll never forget
I’ll never forget what you said on that lonely day
In the most unrelenting way it meant the end of fear
And as the time drew near
I wish that I could hear you ask the question one more time
Don't you believe in magic?
All of the time
All of the time that I spent looking for the truth
Or a semblance of real proof that everything was real
‘It’s all in your mind’
‘It's all in your mind’
I remember repeating it
Repetition depleted it to nothing but a dream
A dream inside a dream
Now I know what you mean when you would ask me why
I don’t believe in magic
Don't you believe in magic?
Of all the things you used to say
Oh it must have been the one
Of all the things you used to say
It made me laugh but now you’re gone
All the things you used to say
That I said were in your mind
Don’t you believe it

Everybody's Going To Die

Everybody's Going To Die
Everybody’s going to die
Everybody
Slipping away into the night
But we’re feeling alright
Everybody’s going to die
Everybody
Everybody loses the fight
But we’re feeling alright
Some of us believe that we will live forever
Some of us believe that we return
Some of us will go when we are all together
Some of us will go when we’re alone
Chorus
Some of us will live like there is no tomorrow
Some of us will fight until the end
Some of us will struggle through the pain and sorrow
Some of us will choose to make it stop
Chorus
Some of us are taken long before we should be
Some of us will go before we’re born
Some of us will do the things we want to do here
Some of us will not
Chorus

Do What You Want (With Love In Your Heart)
No one believed you when you used to say
That one day you’d find it somehow or some way
The answer that hides in a hole in your heart
It tears you apart
(Do what you want)
Everyone laughed at your early attempts
(With love in your heart)
Those with potential were met with contempt
All of the people they said you were wrong
But you carried on
Yeah!
Listen to the doctor who told you that you wouldn’t heal
Listen to the preacher who told you to kneel
Listen to the experts who mocked you for breaking the rules
Well now who’s the fool?
Yeah!
They’ll step on your fingers as you reach the crest
They’ll try to convince you you’re the same as the rest
(But you do what you want)
They’ll kick you and beat you for nothing at all
But you follow the call
You scale the wall
So throw me the ball
‘Cause we’ll never fall
Yeah!

Into The Skull
Follow the path of the Sephiroth
Into the arms of the Behemoth
Cast off your crown with a true sincerity
Out of this world you must go
Into the light, from the darkness of the soul
Out of this world that you know
Follow the path of the Sephiroth
Into the arms of the Behemoth
Witness the beauty beyond eternity
Gone is the world that you know
Knowledge and kindness beyond severity
Into the Skull we must go
Into the Skull
Follow the path of the Sephiroth
Into the arms of the Behemoth
One, two and three, a supernal energy
All of your secrets we know
Temples of wisdom will crumble to the ground
Into the Skull we will go
Into the Skull
Follow the path of the Sephiroth
Into the arms of the Behemoth

Seven

Your heart
Is sacred like no other
Open like a catalogue
It burns
Stronger than your mother
Didn’t she read the epilogue?
It floats
Suspended like a butterfly
Riding on a caterpillar
Those goats
Have got the power to horrify
You know the dog’s a lady killer
Oh yeah
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Fig rolls
Rolling like a river
Down the hill of Palatine
I know
Your milk will give me vigour
Won’t you be my valentine?
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Which way
You’re waiting at the traffic light
Give your pups to Hecate
New moon
Their blood is in the gutter
Bring me my serenity

The Hunt
Why did you tell me?
Why did you tell me?
Why did you have to tell me
About that other man?
‘Cause I tried to forget it
I tried to forget it
But I just can’t sleep
I just can’t seem to let it go
Why did you tell me?
Why did you tell me?
Why did you have to tell me
About that other man?
You said that he used you
You said that he used you
So I had no choice at all
So I had no choice at all
I had no choice
I had no choice
But to hunt that mother down
Why didn’t you tell me?
Why didn’t you tell me?
Why didn’t you tell me
It was you who was using him?
‘Cause I tried to forgive him
I tried to forgive him
But I had no choice
I had no choice
But to put him in the ground

The Great Black Hole
Let’s get together
Before we get sucked in forever
Calling all the people
In the family
On their lonesome
On their own
Inside the houses
On the roadside
On a hill
Inside a town
Inside a country
On an island
In the ocean
In the world
Inside a vortex
Spinning silently
Around the great black hole
Let’s get together
Before we get sucked in forever
Let’s get together
Before we get sucked in forever

Sorcery & Sabotage
This paradigm
Everyday it’s on my mind
Will we ever find
Anything else but glorified
Sorcerers and saboteurs?
(Sometimes I think)
Sometimes I think about the fear of madness
And the feeling it’s controlling us all
(The feeling it’s controlling us all)
Maybe one day we could conquer the feeling
That we’re living at the bottom of a bottomless hole
(But don’t you know it?)
Don't you know that you can do what you want to
When you know that you've got love in your heart?
(You know that you’ve got love in your heart)
So many people with a struggle inside them
But you know it’s just a play and we're just playing the part
Of sorcerers and saboteurs
(Can you believe it?)
Can you believe that you invent your own demons
And the demons take control of your mind?
(Oh yes indeed I do believe it)
So don’t you let another person invent them
‘Cause they’re only put together with whatever they find
They’re sorcerers and saboteurs
This paradigm
Is a genuine
Pantomime

Living In A Bubble
Sleep forever more
Close your tired mind
Fall from the earth
Go now into the sun
Reading the newspaper
Makes me anxious makes me nervous
Of the past and of the future
As the fear tries to control us
So I’m reaching for the potion
And the comfort of forgetting
What the world is really like
Outside the thin walls of the notion
That we’re here in the present
Like a birthday present
You got me living in a bubble
And you just don’t know what it means to me
We’re living in a bubble
Won’t you come and join the family
Sleep forever more
Close your tired mind
Fall from the earth
Go now into the sun
Outside of the bubble
There's another and another
And there's one for every person
And there's some inside the others
And some they might cross over
And there's some there bursting open
But outside in the darkness
It's impossible to breathe
So we climb back on inside
It's best to stay inside
Because we're living in a bubble
And you just don’t know what it means to me
We’re living in a bubble
Won’t you come and join the family
