ZERO HOUR
Mother believe me
It’s not a fairy tale
May my tongue split
May the dogs feed on it
If I lie
I’ve been away
Though you didn’t know
While you were sleeping
My spirit was creeping away
They’ve got Catherine wheel eyes
They speak softer than sound
They’re the astral plane spies
And they’re here with me now
Oh, I know they’re my friends
They reach out in the night
When they take me away
I feel safe in their light
It won’t be too much longer
Mother, Mother
It won’t be too much longer
Zero hour
It won’t be too much longer
It won’t be too much longer
It won’t be too much longer
Longer, longer, longer, longer
I am the contact
Just like a radio
Out of thin air
When there’s nobody there
They come through
We’re making plans
To change a thing or two
You won’t believe, but in
Time you will see that it’s true
They move faster than light
They’re without and within
And a thousand could dance
On the head of a pin
They’re much wider than space
They’re much deeper than dreams
And I know what they want
And I know what they mean
It won’t be too much longer
Mother, Mother
It won’t be too much longer
Zero hour
It won’t be too much longer
It won’t be too much longer
It won’t be too much longer
Longer, longer, longer, longer

LITTLE BIT OF DEVIL
Most people wouldn’t notice
Most people wouldn’t know
There’s a little bit of devil running
Deep in your soul
And you try to keep it tame
And you try to keep it down
If you ever lose the struggle
I just hope I’m not around
So keep hiding, hiding, hiding
Hiding your devil
Sometimes I see its shadow
Well it’s deep down in your eyes
Sometimes I see you smiling and it
Feels like breaking ice
I don’t know if you can beat it
Maybe only time will tell
If you ever lose the struggle
It’ll drag you into hell
So keep hiding, hiding, hiding
Hiding your devil
Most people wouldn’t notice
Most people wouldn’t know
There’s a little bit of devil running
Deep in your soul
And you try to keep it tame
And you try to keep it down
If you ever lose the struggle
I just hope I’m not around
So keep hiding, hiding, hiding
Hiding your devil

WINTERING DOWN
Breath melts the ice
A window through a window
Watching the shadows as they grow
A slice of life
Frozen into a moment
Petals of blood on the snow
Wintering down
Wrapping my heart in silence
Turning my back on the cold
Wintering down
Waiting for sun to find me
Next time the spring comes around
Your bed is cold
A frozen stream your pillow
Your blanket frosted in moonlight
Take my last kiss
Though you don’t feel its whisper
Go gently into this goodnight
Wintering down
Leaving your lies behind me
Leaving the landscape you made
Wintering down
Wrapping new dreams around me
Until the old start to fade
Did you believe
I was some gentle angel?
Did you believe I’d forgive?
Made your mistake
The minute you betrayed me
How did you think love could live?
Wintering down
Wrapping my heart in memories
Thinking of times dead and gone
Wintering down
Gazing into the embers
Gazing into life alone
Oh, this lonely winter
Oh, this lonely winter
Oh, this lonely winter
Oh, this lonely winter
Oh, this lonely winter
Oh, this lonely winter

SECRET
Cos this secret is too deep
It won’t let me run away,
I’ve been crying in my sleep
I’ve been hiding day by day
This little secret’s like a blade
Cuts me up just like a knife
And it’s tearing me apart
And it’s screwing up my life
I know you know there’s something wrong
There’s something wrong
Heard me talking in my sleep again
Please don’t ask me why I’m locked inside this misery
There are some things it’s much better you don’t know of me
Can’t you see?
Cos this secret is too deep
It won’t let me run away,
I’ve been crying in my sleep
I’ve been hiding day by day
This little secret’s like a blade
Cuts me up just like a knife
And it’s tearing me apart
And it’s screwing up my life
In the shadows of my room
My lonely room
Memories spark so angry in my heart
There are moments when the words are waiting on my tongue
Moments when I think the time to tell the secret’s come
Then it’s gone
Cos it’s there in the dark
And it cuts like a knife
And it rips me apart
And it screws up my mind
Cos it’s there in the dark
And it cuts like a knife
And it rips me apart
And it screws up my mind
Can’t you see?
Cos this secret is too deep
It won’t let me run away,
I’ve been crying in my sleep
I’ve been hiding day by day

And it’s screwing up my life
I know you know there’s something wrong
There’s something wrong
Heard me talking in my sleep again
Please don’t ask me why I’m locked inside this misery
There are some things it’s much better you don’t know of me
Can’t you see?

And it screws up my mind
Cos it’s there in the dark
And it cuts like a knife
And it rips me apart
And it screws up my mind
Can’t you see?

NO ONE THERE
I feel warm breath on my skin
I turn around
There’s no one there
I hear footsteps in the hall
I turn around
There’s no one there
Oh, it’s just a whisper
And it’s almost making sense
Oh, it’s just a whisper
As the past becomes the present tense
I feel blood freeze in my veins
A chilling breeze
Creeps through the air
Memories hook into my brain
Their old refrain
Haunts everywhere
Oh, it’s just a whisper
And it’s almost making sense
Oh, it’s just a whisper
As the past becomes the present tense
I feel warm breath on my skin
I turn around
There’s no one there
I hear footsteps in the hall
I turn around
There’s no one there
Oh, it’s just a whisper
And it’s almost making sense
Oh, it’s just a whisper
As the past becomes the present tense
