BLOOD RUINS FILM Over, my significant self. Reverse, the honor of my despair. We, find loyalty in faith. I'm faith, we find inspiration. Now it's gone, never again Now it's gone, blood ruins film Now it's gone, never again Now it's gone, blood ruins film Reason, has seemed to reach its end. Belief. We take and we acquiesce. And in this move, we try and design life. Design, has led to frustration. Now it's gone, never again Now it's gone, blood ruins film Now it's gone, never again Now it's gone, blood ruins film Now it's gone, never again Now it's gone, where did it begin?

HOTEL DeVILLE On the wind, the line is falling The sound of sea, driving distant Beneath the street lamp, the spurned crowd You're on her, by those on that train On the train Watchful men, through auto window And women wept, imprisoned pain She melts beneath, the departing kiss By the Hotel De Ville, frozen on that train On the train On the wind, the line is falling The sounds of sea, and driving distant She melts beneath, His departing kiss By the Hotel De Ville, frozen on the train On the train

The Stain 04:20
T H E S T A I N ~ music and lyrics: Jeff Gallea & James Tabbi 1987 We took the blood, my brothers blood, and cast it ashore We took the blood, my brothers blood, and drank the wine We took the blood, my brothers blood, and cast it ashore We took the blood, my brothers blood, and painted finger paints And now we suffer, The stain of man And now we suffer, The stain on my hand The Stain We took the hand, the hand of God, and made plaster casts We took the hand, the hand of God, and painted finder paints We took the hand, the hand of God, and made plaster casts We took the hand, the hand of God, and fit him with rings And now we suffer, The stain of man And now we suffer, The stain on my hand The Stain The sky is falling, the sky will fall, and there's a ring in my ear The sky is falling, the sky will fall, and there's a thorn in my side The sky is falling, the sky will fall, and there's a ring in my ear The sky is falling, the sky will fall, and the sea will not part And now we suffer, The stain of man And now we suffer, The stain on my hand The Stain

TURN TO SILENCE w o r d s : Ja m e s T a b b i m u s i c : E L E V E N P O N D 1 9 8 7 Turn to silence, almost there Feel inspiration, it cannot care You mean so much to me, this much I see Because of you I've come to be the key The sun will set before the sun will rise The reason why it's lost between the sky There is no reason I'm leaving Give intuition a common theme I've come to laugh now at that myself cause in fact there is nothing else The sun will set before the sun will rise The reason why it's lost between the sky The sun will set before the sun will rise The reason why it's lost between the sky

Gold & Green 05:32
GOLD & GREEN Why can't I say a word you give me It seams that speech has up and left me I wrap my eyes in gold and green lame The thoughts are parched, my beauty speeds away Look at my thoughts, hang them on the wall You strike my doubts, your atrophy has all You gave me license to rip the chord apart I lay it down, try to make a start Green and gold, green and gold Wrapped in words I am told Gold and green, gold and green Wrapped in colors I have seen Now that you're gone I'm speaking different I thought there is no need for hesitance I read the letters I wrote for you to read And thought the reasons why now it's you who flee Look at my thoughts, hang them on the wall You strike my doubts, your atrophy has all You gave me license to rip the chord apart I lay it down, try to make a start

Land Of Yellow Late at night I turn my head With candle sticks around my bed And when I sleep I dream of you A Land Of Yellow, somewhere new In this yellow land alone I think about my friends at home I found it all comes down to you But in this dream what can I do My body groans in sleepy poses Wrapped in love and faded roses So when I go to sleep at night I dream of you in candle light What are you going to do When it comes through? The Land Of Yellow, somewhere new When I go to sleep at night I dream of you in candle light I dream of you...

VANDYKES COLLAR Look down here please someone I'm dying I can't see my pain anymore I spent far far too long in crying Could someone pick me up off the floor I can't comprehend your frustrations I'll try not look and not touch Surrender to self realizations But I don't think that means all too much I give you time, now you are gone I need some relief from this tension That tears me apart at the seams My shirt sleeves my only connection My strength is far worse than it seams Look down here please someone I'm dying And appear that don't look all too bad Please help me somebody I'm crying Don't help me I'm better off dead I give you time, now you are gone I give you time, now you are gone
