  SALEM HILL #1 LYRICS

Golden Crosses The Dilemma Aceldama Between The Two There Must Be More Than This Hands And Feet Just As Clear Evil One Never Alone Open Windows

GOLDEN CROSSES 'Till now It's been such a dream wake up it's all come to pass running hard to catch something that's always out of grasp holding fast on to something that can never last Golden crosses ln my mind and they're tarnished lost ln time cherished slumber It's a crime it's a crime What is there left to believe? Is this the dawn ln disguise? We are mighty pawns play to fight the winning game Soldiers of fortune fighting for a timeless name Eden awaits our return No longer prisoned ln chains and the blind will see distant skys on every shore and the lost will find passageway to Evermore THE DILEMMA He came from out of nowhere I'm sure I was awake He made a fleeting offer A lifetime's prize to take Just think a chance to change The power to make It right Go back and do it over the past mine to rewrite I don' t know why he chose me and I don't really care He gave me a dilemma to go back or stay here he said that If I go back my history I could change but he said my future would never be the same I might not ever meet you or learned the things I've learned or love the way I love now when this way I return Perhaps I would remember the life that we have shared or perhaps my memory would vanish in thin air He came from out of nowhere I'm sure I was awake And his like other offers was one I couldn't take ALCELDAMA With an air of betrayal you hold out your hand to continue the plan that was laid bafore you though your lips speak denial you return where you came knowing nothing's the same as it was before the day has come to which you were appointed and the sun slowly blackens in the sky When you sow the wind you will reap a storm soon you will wish you had never been born like raindrops descending becoming a flood you have purchased the field of blood As they all come together there's a price on your head for the field of the dead you will pay with the new quickly spreading you will look in His eye saying "surely not I" and the innocent will die With the night slowly fading you return to the light knowing nothing is right ln your eyes anymore with a kiss it is over for you drank from the cup and it swallowed you up in the end BETWEEN THE TWO The queenie and the actress say they want you back they're dying as you're leaving but all worlds have their Jacks who will sacrifice his hand so they break the bank they're ready and they're waiting to make you walk the plank In the other world is another you A familiar place with a different view You're not quite the same you're not totally new slipping back and forth in between the two The flip world and the known one have their tricks and traps they're loaded and ready but you know that perhaps you can sabotage their dreams and their quest to rule you're ready but frightened you know what to do The magical and the technical have their place In time it's mystic and it's knowledge but most of it sublime to be recognized by men and you have the skill the power and the reason but do you have the will? THERE MUST BE MORE THAN THIS There must be more than this I saw it in a dream there's so much emptiness so much I haven't seen who knows what's held ln store it may be so much more than what I'm living now I'm knowing now I know security ain't all It's supposed to be there's just no room for growth no time to search for gold I've got to take some time to get my life ln line there must be more than this much more than this We've got to look ahead to better times we stop and raise our hands and reach up to the sky There must be more than this HANDS AND FEET You've taken the step I've built you a bridge to cross I showed you a sign In hopes that you wouldn't be lost I planted the seed 'cause you had the need to know I lifted you up in fear that you'd keep your sleep in the deep We all need a hand we need some strength to stand (I need your hand) We all need a hand to land on our feet (I need your hand] I showed you the fork you surveyed which path to take I pointed down one in fear of your great mistake I left it to you the only right thing to do an old written clue I hope to see you on the other side JUST AS CLEAR You've got to touch to be real and yet we shy away together we find and feel listen and hear the day talk to me we become one sifting together like salt ln the sea interplay don't be alone there's more to life than you and me greater than us both but not as deep (close) higher than our highest hopes (taller than our tallest dreams) and just as clear you've got to love to be loved and yet we all deny through each other we rise above shut your eyes walk with me and we become close enough to cast on shadow you've got to reach to be held there'a more to life than you and me EVIL ONE Someone's gazing through my eyes moving my hands actions then materialize their not my own not my own Someone's covering up my heart moving my tongue foreign words and ideas start in comes the evil one A shadow blotting out the light a spot that hides the sun a stronger darker human side we call the evil one A runaway train with no guide a reckless race that's run a smiling soulless Mr. Hyde we call the evil one Someone's clouding up my mind moving my thoughts outside doctrine's mesmerize I don't recognize recognize Someone's taken full control it seems he has one a game thats prize was once my own 1s now the evil one's NEVER ALONE Look to the sky what do you see? Far beyond the clouds high above the trees I'm trying hard to reach you but you feel that I have left you Don't think me gone I'll never leave Answer my call yours to receive If only you could see me and the offering I'm making Never alone I'm always with you Never alone and when you stumble I'm the one who breaks your fall Open your hands take what I give here just for you a new lease to live you seem to think I'm distant but I'm standing here beside you OPEN WINDOWS Everybody has their times nowadays we're all tried easily we could fall without someone who could stop us Keep passing the open windows keep closing the painful doors keep passing the open windows for one day you'll find the shore It's not hard to lose control with the matters of the soul usually we all loose track but we've got to make it back through We're all hunam it's all clear full of doubts full of fears naturally we all give up but we need someone to lift us up
