The Gathering - Probably Built In The Fifties [Demo]

I might be moving to the east
to part my ways
And I will try to get something
I don't have yet
If I do, I will look at it
for days and days
Unti I will never forget

I have heard this mental search
has made them all
take a look along the border
Having the urge
For their minds
to be lifted
to something new
I'm running to meet
my higher self

I trust the speed
Untill I have no need
to run anymore

Miles and miles I run

I hear my feet
And I hear myself breathe
heavily

I trust the speed
Untill I have no need
To run anymore

Miles and miles I run

The Gathering - Adrenaline

What makes you forget is the structure

You're in, all your life

Can't you feel there is the animal inside

Growing roots, still, inside your mind

Suppress your underbeing and let them rule

You don't care, yeah you don't give a damn

As long as you've got your car

Do you actually go so far, as giving in your

Adrenaline away

The Gathering - On Most Surfaces (Demo / Eroc Session)

The frost hits me in the eye

And wakes me

These are blury winters

And I cannot see

I walk into the white light of the snow

When the sun comes

I break it with my shadow

Which tales me where I go

The frost hits me in the eye

And wakes me

And wakes me

I am the snow falling down on you

I tear up your face with my frost

And make you run to somewhere warm

When I come I see you get away

I burst out about your emptyness

The frost hits me in the eye

And wakes me

These are blury winters

And I cannot see

And I cannot see

The Gathering - Life Is What You Make It

Baby, life's what you make it,
Can't escape it.

Baby, yesterday's favorite,
Don't you hate it?

Everything's all right,
Everything's all right.

Baby, life's what you make it,
Don't backdate it.

Baby, don't try to shake it,
Beauty is naked.

Everything's all right,
Everything's all right.

Baby, life's what you make it.
Celebrate it,
Anticipate it.

Yesterday's faded,
Nothing can change it,
Life's what you make it.

Everything's all right,
Everything's all right.

The Gathering - The Earth Is My Witness

Mother earth looks at her closely
She looks at her baby and she sighs
The slight breathing pause that she takes
It builds her and makes her strong

She refuses to give her up
and we close our eyes

Her hands touch the round stomach
and feel the kick
The eyes that have seen so much
cry with the water
She starts to rinse her face

And refuses to give her up
And we close our eyes
And you close your eyes

The Gathering - Travel

Melodic stanzas
are symphonizing their way
through your weary head

To feed your distrust
And fill it's mouth with the desire
to soulfully be one with your creation

Not a subject to control
you call upon a higer power
for help and inspiration

The crowd waits
and turns their faces
towards you expectantly
you give them what they need
But their useless criticism
makes you die
a bit more inside

Not a subject to control
you call upon a higer power
for help and inspiration

Oh, I swoon
while loudspeakers play soft music

Leaning
over your fourtieth masterpiece
You must have loved
the colour of these violins

I wish I knew you
Your fit of insanity makes me sad

I wish you knew
your music was to stay forever
And I hope...

I have no clue
if you know how much it matters
And I hope...

The Gathering - When The Sun Hits

Sweet thing, I watch you
Burn so fast it scares me
Mind games don't leave me
I've come so far don't lose me

It matters where you are

As the sun hits, she'll be waiting
With her cool things and her heaven
Hey hey lover, you still burn me
You're a song yeah, hey hey

Sweet thing, I watch you
Burn so fast it scares me
Mind games don't leave me
I've come so far don't lose me

It matters where you are

As the sun hits, she'll be waiting
With her cool things and her heaven
Hey hey lover, you still burn me
You're a song yeah, hey hey

Sweet thing I watch you, hey hey
Sweet thing I watch you, hey hey

The Gathering - Frail (You Might as Well Be Me)

You lead me
I do need redemption
Whenever I don't know

I feed you balance
We will not rest
Until the search ends

I bleed for you
I voluntarily give myself

I need my frailty
Oh so soon
I will unfold

I bleed for you
I voluntarily give myself

The Gathering- Third Chance

Fear and sweat, my muscles ache
I smile but it's just a fake
I fade away
It troubles me, what you're gonna say
Just a day away
And you will be here to stay

I wait and I wait
And what I really hate
Is the panic that stops me from breathing
My knees hit the floor
And I panic more
Until you open my door

The whole world could explode around us
Will they ever know we had a third chance

I wait and I wait
And what I really hate
Is the panic that stops me from breathing
My knees hit the floor
And I panic more
Until you open my door

The Gathering - In Power We Entrust the Love Advocated

Sail on silver wings
Through this storm
What fortune love may bring
Back to my arms again
The love of a former golden age
I am disabled by fears concerning which course to take
For now that wheels are turning
I find my faith deserting me

This night is filled with cries
Of dispossesed children in search of paradise
A sign of a sign of unresolved ambition
Drives the pinwheel on and on
I am disabled by fears concerning which course to take
When memory bears witness to the innocence
Consumed in dying rage

The way lies through our love
There can be no other means to the end
Or keys to my heart
You will never find
You will never find

I tear up your face with my frost
And make you run to somewhere warm
When I come I see you get away
I burst out about your emptiness

The frost hits me in the eye
And wakes me
These are blurry winters
and I cannot see

The Gathering - Amity

The torture won't part you
Motherly breast won't warm you
You fail and foam from your mouth
why is it so loud, this sound?

All the sense your are capable of
does not seem to save you
You heed the glance of a smile
Was it impossible to float for a while?

Restless is carrying fever
burning you to pieces
In search and need of a friend
Will I bow down to this in the end?

I lay in the hands of my maker
and I want to spend the rest of it awake
Why do I get the feeling they'll brake it
It's a fight... it's a fight...

The torture won't part you
Mothers lap can't seem to warm you
You strain, you climb up and frown
Why is it so loud, This down?

All the sense you are capable of
does not seem to save you
You heed the glance of a smile
Was it impossible to float for a while?

I lay in the hands of my maker
And I want to spend the rest of it awake
Why do I get the feeling they'll brake it
It's a fight... it's a fight
