Melody cafe blog: The Gathering

The Gathering - Strange machine

It has always been in the back of my mind
Dreaming about going through corners of time
I always wanted to fly in strange machines

I wanna do centuries in a lifetime
And feel it with my hands
Touch world war II and Cleopatra
flying...

Could it be that my dream would come true
Building a machine that would actually do
What I want to do

Russian revolution, let's do it in one day
Beethoven and Gershwin I think that would be OK
More than anything I wanna fly in strange machines

I wanna do centuries in a lifetime
And feel it with my eyes
Watch Jesus rise. If he ever did
Flying...

I wanna do centuries in a lifetime
And feel it with my hands
Touch renaissance and Shaka Khan
Flying...

The Gathering - Heroes for ghost

Fading falling
Slow winds breaking soundscapes
And waves of velvet sweeping
Into me

You moved all that was in my world
And showed me all the new colours
In my universe where storms run

Falling, falling, falling, fall into me
I hear echoes of my speech
And I see shadows of my walk
I feel the past
I always look backwards

Fighting, floating
Tasting blood in my mouth
Ancient damp painting ruins
Feel the rising chill

I listened to the sound of your airs
We’re watching stone saints fall over
While the black crows will be taking to the sky

Falling, falling, falling, fall into me I hear echoes of my speech
And I see shadows of my walk
I feel the past
I always look backwards

My heart is drifting through all shades of green
My head is thinking through meadows of the sea
Lonely as I am

Expanding the scene where I've never (ever) been
A promise at last to call back the past
To finish off with you - I'm finishing off with you

Sliding down
