Lyrics to Island In The Clouds
Embryonic
All I wanted was to disappear
It's ironic
'Cause there's a chance that I could make it here
Inferior response
To the experience of consciousness we're gifted
A symbiotic
Secular spirituality
Fear in our hearts, the lost are rarely found
We're never far from the island in the clouds
It's symbolic
I never thought that life could find a way
Now it dawns on me
No creature here was built to be contained
I've seen the way you propagate
A need for empty paraphernalia
So fall upon me
Too blind to see the error of your ways
In this smog of blame
Fear in our hearts
The lost are rarely found
But we're never far
From the island in the clouds
As we stare into the sun
They reveal themselves to us
In the abstinence of creed
We submit to reason
Dogs of war we let slip
Kindness I could kill you with
The passion of a Judas kiss
Blinding lights, we blinked and misses
Our heads above the parapet
Larger than our lives appeared
With one foot in Elysium
Sensing the adventure's kicking in
Seraphim servants cry
Havoc from the jaws of time
A mouth of madness opens wide
Bark as sharp as she can bite
An ocean of a thousand knives
Ripples through our future lives
Our best intentions soon backfire
You picked your bones
But never made this right
Fear in your soul
A coil tightly bound
But we'll never fall
From the island in the clouds
As we stare into the sun
They reveal themselves to us
In the abstinence of creed
We submit to reason
All I wanted was to disappear
It's ironic
'Cause there's a chance that I could make it here
Inferior response
To the experience of consciousness we're gifted
A symbiotic
Secular spirituality
Fear in our hearts, the lost are rarely found
We're never far from the island in the clouds
It's symbolic
I never thought that life could find a way
Now it dawns on me
No creature here was built to be contained
I've seen the way you propagate
A need for empty paraphernalia
So fall upon me
Too blind to see the error of your ways
In this smog of blame
Fear in our hearts
The lost are rarely found
But we're never far
From the island in the clouds
As we stare into the sun
They reveal themselves to us
In the abstinence of creed
We submit to reason
Dogs of war we let slip
Kindness I could kill you with
The passion of a Judas kiss
Blinding lights, we blinked and misses
Our heads above the parapet
Larger than our lives appeared
With one foot in Elysium
Sensing the adventure's kicking in
Seraphim servants cry
Havoc from the jaws of time
A mouth of madness opens wide
Bark as sharp as she can bite
An ocean of a thousand knives
Ripples through our future lives
Our best intentions soon backfire
You picked your bones
But never made this right
Fear in your soul
A coil tightly bound
But we'll never fall
From the island in the clouds
As we stare into the sun
They reveal themselves to us
In the abstinence of creed
We submit to reason
