Do you remember when
We were young, adventure had no end?
Those were the days, my friend
But I'm not talking about that at all
Do you remember when
You marred my future with a sickly parasitic pall?
That was the day that the Earth stalled
That was the day the Earth stalled
On the day that the Earth stalledFriction bonds and gravity
All harmonic motion ceased
Life itself could not maintain
From that singularity
Try to withstand a magnetic storm
With no one to keep you warm
Waiting for the rest to fall
Since the day that the Earth stalled
That was the day the Earth stalled
Since the day that the Earth stalled
That was the day the Earth stalled
On the day that the Earth stalled

"The Day that The Earth Stalled"
The Dissent of Man (2010)
Just on the border of your waking mind
There lies another time
Where darkness and light are one
And as you tread the halls of sanity
You feel so glad to be
Unable to go beyond
I have a message from another time...
The visions dancing in my mind
The early dawn, the shades of time
Twilight crawling through my windowpane
Am I awake or do I dream?
The strangest pictures I have seen
Night is day and twilight's gone away
With your head held high and your scarlet lies
You came down to me from the open skies
It's either real or it's a dream
There's nothing that is in between
Twilight
I only meant to stay a while
Twilight
I gave you time to steal my mind
Away from me
Across the night I saw your face
You disappeared without a trace
You brought me here, but can you take me back?
Inside the image of your light
That now is day and once was night
You leave me here and then you go away
It's either real or it's a dream
There's nothing that is in between
Twilight
Twilight
Twilight
I gave you time to steal my mind
Away from me
You brought me here, but can you take me back again?
With your head held high and your scarlet lies
You came down to me from the open skies
It's either real or it's a dream
There's nothing that is in between
Twilight
I only meant to stay a while
Twilight
I gave you time to steal my mind
Twilight
I only meant to stay a while
Twilight
I only meant to stay a while
