Lyrics

Carry on, my wayward son.
There’ll be peace when you are done.
Lay your weary head to rest.
Don’t you cry no more.

Once I rose above the noise and confusion,
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion.
I was soaring ever higher,
But I flew too high.

Though my eyes could see, I still was a blind man.
Though my mind could think, I still was a mad man.
I hear the voices when I’m dreaming;
I can hear them say:

Carry on, my wayward son.
There’ll be peace when you are done.
Lay your weary head to rest.
Don’t you cry no more.

Masquerading as a man with a reason,
My charade is the event of the season.
And if I claim to be a wise man, well
It surely means that I don’t know.

On a stormy sea of moving emotion,
Tossed about I’m like a ship on the ocean.
I set a course for winds of fortune,
But I hear the voices say:

Carry on, my wayward son.
There’ll be peace when you are done.
Lay your weary head to rest.
Don’t you cry no more.

Carry on-
You will always remember…
Carry on-
Nothing equals the splendor…
Now your life’s no longer empty;
Surely heaven waits for you.

Carry on, my wayward son.
There’ll be peace when you are done.
Lay your weary head to rest.
Don’t you cry no more.
No more…

Lyrics

All wound up
On the edge
Terrified

Sleep disturbed
Restless mind
Petrified

Bouts of fear
Permeate
All I see

Heightening
Nervousness
Threatens me

I am paralyzed
So afraid to die

Caught off guard
Warning signs
Never show

Tension strikes
Choking me
Worries grow

Why do I feel so numb
Is it something to do with where I come from
Should this be fight or flight
I don’t know why I’m constantly so uptight

Rapid heartbeat pounding through my chest
Agitated body in distress
I feel like I’m in danger
Daily life is strangled by my stress

A stifling surge
Shooting through all my veins
Extreme apprehension
Suddenly I’m insane
Lost all hope for redemption
A grave situation desperate at best

Why do I feel so numb
Is it something to do with where I come from
Should this be fight or flight
I don’t know why I’m constantly reeling

Helpless hysteria
A false sense of urgency
Trapped in my phobia
Possessed by anxiety

Run
Try to hide
Overwhelmed by this complex delirium

Helpless hysteria
A false sense of urgency
Trapped in my phobia
Possessed by anxiety

Run
Try to hide
Overwhelmed by this complex delirium

Lyrics

Sitting on a park bench
Eyeing little girls with bad intent
Snot running down his nose
Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes
Hey, Aqualung!
Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run
Hey Aqualung!
Feeling like a dead duck
Spitting out pieces of his broken luck
Whoa, Aqualung!

Sun streaking cold
An old man wandering lonely
Taking time
The only way he knows
Neck hurting bad
As he bends to pick a dog-end
He goes down to the bog
And warms his feet

Feeling alone
The army’s up the road
Salvation à la mode and
A cup of tea
Aqualung my friend
Don’t you start away uneasy
You poor old sod, you see, it’s only me

Do you still remember
December’s foggy freeze
When the ice that
Clings onto your beard was
Screaming agony
And you snatch your rattling last breaths
With deep-sea-diver sounds
And the flowers bloom like
Madness in the spring

Sun streaking cold
An old man wandering lonely
Taking time
The only way he knows
Neck hurting bad
As he bends to pick a dog-end
He goes down to the bog
And warms his feet

Feeling alone
The army’s up the road
Salvation à la mode and
A cup of tea
Aqualung my friend
Don’t you start away uneasy
You poor old sod, you see, it’s only me

Aqualung my friend
Don’t you start away uneasy
You poor old sod, you see, it’s only me

Sitting on a park bench
Eyeing little girls with bad intent
Snot running down his nose
Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes
Hey Aqualung!
Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run
Hey, Aqualung!
Feeling like a dead duck
Spitting out pieces of his broken luck
Hey, Aqualung!
Whoa, Aqualung!

Lyrics

I get up at seven, yeah
And i go to work at nine
I got no time for livin’
Yes, i’m workin’ all the time

It seems to me
I could live my life
A lot better than i think i am
I guess that’s why they call me
They call me the workin’ man

They call me the workin’ man
I guess that’s what i am

I get home at five o’clock
And i take myself out a nice, cold beer
Always seem to be wond’rin’
Why there’s nothin’ goin’ down here

It seems to me
I could live my life
A lot better than i think i am
I guess that’s why they call me
They call me the workin’ man

They call me the workin’ man
I guess that’s what i am

Well they call me the workin’ man
I guess that’s what i am

And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones to start
To mould a new reality
Closer to the Heart

The Blacksmith and the Artist
Reflect it in their art
Forge their creativity
Closer to the Heart

Philosophers and Ploughmen
Each must know his part
To sow a new mentality
Closer to the Heart

You can be the Captain
I will draw the Chart
Sailing into destiny
Closer to the Heart

Lyrics

I can feel it in the way your blood and heart beats
(My body’s cold and it thinks I’m already gone)
Or is it in the way your body moves
(I’d like to tell you
but I think that you already know)
The words I drag out from your mouth speak
(So listen up world, listen up world)
In her vision I have given company
(They see no evil in leading their bodies from home)

Believer, you’ll leave her, in leaving them all
(No, but I don’t buy it)
Like anything you do, as anyone you are
Ten Speed, if I must… then I must

Believer, you’ll leave her, in leaving them all
(No, but I don’t buy it)
Like anything you do, as anyone you are

If written wrote me even chance
And the choice to save you
I wouldn’t answer if it even had to ask
In her figure I’ve instilled a taste of my own
(So listen up world, listen up world)
To make it easier to take what life I’m owed
(As the curse has returned from the hell of you
Heart and your soul)

Believer, you’ll leave her, in leaving them all
(No, but I don’t buy it)
Like anything you do, as anyone you are
Ten Speed, if I must… then I must

Believer, you’ll leave her, in leaving them all
(No, but I don’t buy it)
Like anything you do, as anyone you are

Nobody knows but you
Nobody knows but you
‘Cause I don’t want to ride tonight…
No I don’t want to go
I don’t want to ride tonight…
Or maybe I don’t want to go

(“But are you going to kill her off?”
“Are you insane? I love her character, she stays.”
“Yeah, well the only thing love’s done is put you in this position; I say kill her off!”
“Yeah, but you say a lot of things… and how does that work? You’re a bicycle”)

Believer, you’ll leave her, in leaving them all
(No, but I don’t buy it)
Like anything you do, as anyone you are
Ten Speed, if I must… then I must

Believer, you’ll leave her, in leaving them all
(No, but I don’t buy it)
Like anything you do, as anyone you are

Cause I’m…
Ten Speed, of God’s Blood & Burial
Ten Speed, of God’s Blood & Burial
Ten Speed, of God’s Blood & Burial
Ten Speed, of God’s Blood & Burial
Ten Speed, of God’s Blood & Burial
Ten Speed, of God’s Blood & Burial
Ten Speed, of God’s Blood & Burial
Ten Speed, of God’s Blood

Lyrics

Living on a lighted stage
Approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality
Beyond the gilded cage.

Cast in this unlikely role,
Ill-equipped to act,
With insufficient tact,
One must put up barriers
To keep oneself intact.

Living in the Limelight,
The universal dream
For those who wish to seem.
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation,
Get on with the fascination,
The real relation,
The underlying theme.

Living in a fisheye lens,
Caught in the camera eye.
I have no heart to lie,
I can’t pretend a stranger
Is a long-awaited friend.

All the world’s indeed a stage,
And we are merely players,
Performers and portrayers,
Each another’s audience
Outside the gilded cage.

Lyrics

You could’ve been all I wanted
But you weren’t honest
Now get in the ground
You choked off the surest of favors
But if you really loved me
You would’ve endured my world

Well you’re just as I presumed
A whore in sheep’s clothing
Fucking up all I do
And if it’s here we stop
Then never again
Will you see this in your life?

Hang on to the glory at my right hand
Here laid to rest, is our love ever longed?
With truth on the shores of compassion
You seem to make premise to all of these songs

You stormed off to scar the armada
As Jesus played martyr,
I’ll drill through your hands
The stone for the curse you have blamed me
With love and devotion you’ll die as you sleep
If you could just write me out
To neverless wonder… Happy will I become
Be true that this is no option,
So with sin I condemn you
Demon play, demon out!

Hang on to the glory at my right hand
Here laid to rest, is our love ever longed?
With truth on the shores of compassion
You seem to make premise to all of these songs

One last kiss for you
One more wish to you
Please make up your mind girl…
I’d do anything for you
One last kiss for you
One more wish to you
Please make up your mind girl…
Before I hope you die

Lyrics

A modern-day warrior
Mean mean stride,
Today’s Tom Sawyer
Mean mean pride.

Though his mind is not for rent,
Don’t put him down as arrogant.
His reserve, a quiet defense,
Riding out the day’s events.
The river

And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society.
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift.

The world is, the world is,
Love and life are deep,
Maybe as his eyes are wide.

Today’s Tom Sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the space he invades
He gets by on you.

No, his mind is not for rent
To any god or government.
Always hopeful, yet discontent,
He knows changes aren’t permanent,
But change is.

And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society.
Catch the witness, catch the wit,
Catch the spirit, catch the spit.

The world is, the world is,
Love and life are deep,
Maybe as his skies are wide.

Exit the warrior,
Today’s Tom Sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the energy you trade,
He gets right on to the friction of the day.
