The Ending Film At The Endless Theatre The Autumn leaves fall from the trees With everything that fades away The monarchy is falling apart They really don’t know where to start The film has ended for the day Now there’s nothing left for me to say When the curtains fall the lights go down Let reality return, touch your feet on the ground Sir Havelock’s has had enough of this crap You know he doesn’t take any flap Nonsense cries the parliament They can't even pay the rent The film has ended for the day Now there’s nothing left for me to say When the curtains fall the lights go down Let reality return, touch your feet on the ground The fire’s melted the Madame’s tears away Is now stand in queen for nine days The film has ended for the day Now there’s nothing left for me to say When the curtains fall the lights go down Let reality return, touch your feet on the ground The fire’s melted the Madame’s tears away Is now stand in queen for nine days The film has ended for the day Now there’s nothing left for me to say When the curtains fall the lights go down Let reality return, touch your feet on the ground The fire’s melted the Madame’s tears away Is now stand in queen for nine days

Lost Shadows 04:58
LOST SHADOWS Moving shadows on sidewalks The passing minutes on the clock A lamp cast a shadow onto the wall Distorting figures rise and fall Lights switched on that were switched off Telephone’s ringing, alarms that go off Communicating through some means Feeling the fear but seldom seen All of the lost shadows left wandering All of the lost souls stranded for eternity The sound of footsteps to an exit door Open windows, creaking floors In the daylight they tend to roam the streets To return to until they meet I don’t deny their existence Necromancy resistance All of the lost shadows left wandering All of the lost souls stranded for eternity They’re trapped somewhere between worlds So far away and so close to reality, this reality Like a prisoner in seclusion There’s no easy answer, no conclusion All of the lost shadows left wandering All of the lost souls stranded for eternity All of the lost shadows left wandering All of the lost souls stranded for eternity

Falling Velocity   Every street that I walk down I just seem to get so turned around I can’t find my place in this world anymore As the waves crash upon the shore   As I enter the darkened streets at night I hold on tight to my beliefs Forever subjected to this fate I don’t know how much more I can take   Dark clouds are hanging over me Casting a shadow over my heart In a calculated risk that somehow all  science seemed to miss   Don’t look into the sun You know the time has come There’s no turning back The doors are closing in on you Time is running out -your life is doomed   Beyond imagination The earth is changing its course Leaving behind the distant sun The ice will freeze over the sea Falling Velocity
