The Stranger - Kaleidoscope [Full Album 2021]

Lyrics to Kaleidoscope [Full Album 2021] by The Stranger

Tracklist: 01. Eleventh Hour By raising Midas hands The crawling believers come Command them reap the land To break it and build your throne You're walking on holy ground That disappears with each step And speaking in ancient tongues Set fire to the air and the earth Hands high to heal the dying sky Feel it taking over Too late, there'll be no morning after And night will last forever Can you feel the wind blow hard against your blood Weakening the sky and cracking, breaking into flood A wave upon a shore of living steel The needle in the flesh that draws away your will to feel We're wading in the wounds that are left by wasted time All the beasts can sense it As the old gods blood runs dry Cut-throat and jaded a suit just for smoking And under the surface the pressure is threatening The storm clouds look ready to break, hallelujah! Brazen and backwards this huge heart attack Is just fatally shy of convincing the schemers to die The sea spilling over the wall, hallelujah! If we drown, you drown with us This path is leading somewhere fucking dangerous Can you feel the acid rain wash away the pain? Waiting, surrendering faith each day (Lost in time) Peace is just whispered in careless minds (Better start counting down) Hands high to heal the dying sky Feel it taking over Too late, there'll be no morning after And night will last forever Can you feel the wind blow hard against your blood Weakening the sky and cracking, breaking into flood A wave upon a shore of living steel The needle in the flesh that draws away your will to feel We're wading in the wounds that are left by wasted time All the beasts can sense it As the old gods blood runs dry 02. The Gemini I'll find a way out I'll separate from you all And step behind the mirror Ignoring your call There are legends to be made Trials and treasures await I cannot break away With your poison in my veins Fire for thinking along new lines (Perish the thought it wasn't one of the pre-approved anyhow) Makers stretched me beyond my bones (One and the same now nothing remains. The Gemini, them and I) Starting fighting back against the mental trap Of animosity in harmony Blood on my hands And shivers down my spine I won't regret cutting the umbilical line I'll find a way out I'll separate from you all And step behind the mirror Ignoring your call There are legends to be made Trials and treasures await I cannot break away With your poison in my veins There's nothing left for me way out here You pursued us for all we're worth Never strayed the path for better or for worse Still as stone, and we're newly alone Silence now holds the voice of fear Take a break and catch your breath You've won my tears And if you come willingly Oh the things I could show you now Can you control me without your tools? In the mirror do I crack the same as you? Under the same skin, don't we all fall apart? Will you persist through these painful years To bring back one scrap of what I once held dear? Thinking all alone... 03. Jungles Swamp legs and the feeling of the edge I live and die by the holy blowfly, ought to web it instead Snake man, cut by the healing hands I never burned on lake desire and caught your fevers instead Aimless, with a hint of dangerous I'll rip and tear for an equal share and I call your manners undead Cruel hands bound by mechanical bands We haven't heard of your god or the word and we pray to our motherland (For greed they've come for king they'll die Facеs of gold and eyes that shed a littlе fire Chew through our lands and mark our stones Out in the night we see their desecrating steps) From the temples top to the bottom of the sea It speaks in me I ask for silence please Show the way and nourish the pain and let me seek peace Wicked in the way that you're always telling me to cease And I'll always fear that you'll never hear all our own mysteries Conjure me when you're feeling far away Never forget that I died so that you could stay I believe I can retreat now I need an ancient sleep now In the words of the moon Speak the sins Tastes of fear Bitter fruit swallowed whole Lines of fire in the trees Reflect light We raise our hands up to the sky Dance in skulls that come knee high When the wind whispers in our ears we lose our minds Feel as one with blood and wine Insects calling on divine Clouds make way for the serpent (Teeth and fire) And all our lands are overrun Aspect of dread floats on and on Just skin and bone I am an empty man I'll never hold my angel's hand Maintain the aspect of the land to keep it evermore Under the influence of souls that keep your mind onboard Raining rivers of blood that washes steel away Leave it caked into the sand and watch the vipers lay Wait all night At sunrise Flee, child! From the temples top to the bottom of the sea It speaks in me I ask for violence please Rivers of blood, a valley in flood, and you're so Wicked in the way that you're always telling me to be I can barely feel, we will never break free of these cages Think of you, but you feel like a memory I'm at rest 'cause I know that you're far away Spirits, please, I'm barely breathing now Mother! Wrap me in your earthly gown 04. Jester Fix your eyes now They betray innocent intent Focus your mind now It is seldom your friend Steel your heart now It has not the time to mend And no one else can say Which path will lead the way (Words) Cold comfort (Hands) So distant (Night) No refuge from the day Tell me softly what I never wanted you to say Show your colour, seven Hells are taking me away The clouds pass beneath, this bridge at my feet A rope around my neck, and her voice says "One more step." I'm not home any more There's a fist in my throat I'm not home any more There's a fist in my throat And I talk to myself But it doesn't seem to help me Found your way in, seeped into my skin Mercy, don't deny your long lost lonely child Once more I know for your offer of gold Will a fool's heart sway no more For what has gone before? I asked and I begged but never was I fed Until all at once (here have it all) Go eat until you're dead The misery and rage; The iron of the cage It's not enough to scream it (So go write it on the page) Don't believe me, I don't know I'm the Jester watch my show But know the words I use belong not in my act (In fact) I'm a monster, wretched spawn You'll be better once I'm gone And then the only way you'll know me (Is at the light) Returns to your heart But with that said you're gone now I have a chance to finally feel whole again Breath fills my lungs I've got time to rest Alive to notice colour pierce the migraine I'm alive I'm alive Fix your eyes now Focus your mind now Steel your heart now Breathe it out now 05. Coming Home [Instrumental] 06. Siren Beg, borrow, and steal Take a hold of the wheel Take me to that horizon Leave the harbour behind I must be out of my mind Give me your blessing Poseidon It's just a question of when I'll take possession, and then You'll all come crawling to me (Please! Just give us some money) I finally found me a way They'll say that I went astray But when they see me return... Wait, and you'll see Just what I'm about to be My kingdom for the taking Waves crash on me But do nothing for I believe From that dream I'll bе waking You said I'll never be? All that you want of mе Born in the gutter A product of malady Made in the city streets Moulded by grinding heat All that I ever learned Kicked and lashed into me I can remember then There was a moment when I thought I'd end it all Never see the light again On the beach a body cold Beckoning the light of gold Torn old rag and guidance in words of old I asked for your help And left with bruises and welts, cursing... Wait, and you'll see! Just what I'm about to be My kingdom for the taking Waves break on me But do nothing for I believe From that dream I'll be waking Land draws closer yet Shapes rise up below That sound... That warm liquer It tingles down my spine It's calling me to ("Come look over the edge") That face, That goddess in water What is it my love? You've been searching for me? One step is all it takes And then you will be mine We'll be together Listen, I would like to lay down next to you But the stories tell me I should run away I just need to stop And try to get it through my mind that you're innocent But I'm the prey Running on the edge of this insanity Living in the moment just to stay alive I would give it up for you If I thought I had a chance of surviving till the sunrise Take me to the darkness down below Sand and sea There was always meant to be, a wedding in the waves (Luminescent skin) For the song you sing, I will be a harmony A final resting place (Sinking deep within) In eyes that glitter like gold No! Let me go! Release your hold! Siren song ice cold! Sadly, all that came out was a melody Jaws that bled the life right from his drowning veins One more slaughtered lamb who strayed Too far for greener pastures And offered up his neck for the blade 07. Creatures In The Canopy Rain melts the rooftops Under neon sky Nothing and no one Lasts too long outside Nascent whispers Fall from on high Do as I do, Do as I say And you will survive Once the whispers make a difference A hand extends to the ground Quite a view they've given you But these aren't wings, they're weights A violent commandment is ushered down Come and meet your purpose in the clouds Make yourself at home (slowly drift away) In the pit of their poison paradisе For the creatures in thе canopy drink their blood and wine We can take it from here (catatonic with fear) Sovereigns proven they're no more than parasites And the longer that you breathe them in The stronger they become Lack of control and the calmness are quite unlike the deafening roar of complacency, where every thought is laid to waste At the moment of your suffering potential (Interlude) Make yourself at home (slowly drift away) In the nightmare that you see with open eyes For the creatures in the canopy feast on you tonight We can take it from here (catatonic with fear) Time to decide if your life's worth dying Don't be the wall between us You've been fed and fattened Fear the harvest my friend It's easy in the end 08. The Devil You Don't Watching love through a one-way screen From my tree-top sanctuary Overwhelmed but so alone And hollow to the bone Life in a thousand tiny lights And a thousand bloodshot nights Just as dead men feel no pain I felt nothing till she came home Bathed in her glow Staring through endless midnight Longing for her touch This pain is too much Her silence a warning sign of suffering yet to come Nest in my mind wrapped up in my desire Forever won't be enough Deprived of your love I'm a discarded memory buried in the snow Call unto me еcho of peace My nightmares cеase I'm helpless kneeling before you Dust for skin Become the ghost from lifeless eyes My body is her host She's the crawling of skin Withdrawal without the sin She's the sick before the feast The corpse feeding the beast She's my hunger and thirst This migraine her curse I'll forfeit my self to sing praise to her verse Could mold and change my nothing into pride Blank and tearless eyes That shy away and wither in the light And cannot say goodbye Maligned her undoing The scent of her soul in our dwelling Thoughtless company A taste of the real grave lights bring her back to me Nightly as I chase her shape I can't explain how cold I am When I touch her empty light She recoils from my hand Dark endless burrow eyes staring lifeless Dead never rotting I've fallen into bliss Fragmented sanity A remnant of my mind in your machine Profound mania In the end I could never forget her eyes Her verse could mold and change my nothing into pride Blank and tearless eyes That shy away and wither in the light And cannot say goodbye What am I? 09. Kaleidoscope I had to put words to it first To spell out the turmoil inside This whirlpool of colours This fragmented rainbow That I feel that I struggle to hide From home where I knew who I was I've run far away and turned strange I wish you could've met me back then When I laughed When I was prism of the sun And I'm waking every morning with a grown And I'm starting later every day I spend a little more than I can spare What does it matter anyway? I'm fading colour from the weakening pity And I will fade out in grey I have to burn out brightly I am not the enemy No mattеr what you think of me I've wasted so much еnergy Afraid to grow old without leaving scars on my hands And if you listen very close You'll hear all I wanted was the space to make my own way Gift me back the words that slipped away Where the hours seem the same Forgetting every figment I can find Like sunlight for the blind Madness in becoming something worth meaning And I will not die this way I have to burn out brightly I am not the enemy No matter what you think of me I've wasted so much energy Afraid to grow old without leaving scars on my hands And if you listen very close You'll hear all I wanted was the space to make my own way How? How can I possibly be happy being me When every thought is tinged with regret? Kneel. Gather every piece. Every part of me Forget the past and build me something real I can't have all this effort be in vain I have to burn out brightly I am not the enemy No matter what you think of me I've wasted so much energy Afraid to grow old without leaving scars on my hands And if you listen very close You'll hear all I wanted was the space to face a new day
