The Gathering - How to Measure a Planet? [Live]

The Gathering - Illuminating

Illuminating is what we are

When we will be on the stars

I will feel great

Without my weight

That I would feel

While on the ground

Who would have thought

That we could overcome

Such a thing as

Protruding the ozone layer

To find new species

On the stars

I will feel great

Without my weight

Pulling me down

Would I still feel myself

When I hit the ground

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 - Great Ocean Road

It is all there

The earth and the ocean

They contain the power

Of our lives

This beautiful city

That surrenders

To the nightfall

Carving the grounds

We walk upon

And the air

We all dare

To ride it somehow

Blue and black is the sky

While tumbling down

Trapped into the freedom

Of an aeroplane

Deprived of sleep

We jump into the deep

With no knowledge whatsoever

And the air

We all dare

To ride it somehow

There is no place

On the face

Of this earth

Only silence

Is the sound

Of an angel

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...

To run anymore

Miles and miles I run

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 - Marooned

I know I'm from a lesser tribe
I suppose the range of my intelligence
Is way too wide

And you don't see me
'cause I don't have much to say

My emotional outlet
Is consuming the better part of me
And apart from the wrong words
A tortured cry is making me see

That you don't see me
'cause I don't have much to say

Hours and hours fo jealousy
Are passing me by
Although hollow silence
Is the only wave
Going through your brain

And you don't see me
'cause I don't have much to say

The Gathering - Liberty Bell

No brainwaves or activity
While the craft is in the air
It's getting dark, it's getting light
We are sitting in a chair

We have fastened every belt
We cannot float out of our seats
It's so enormously frightening
When our tail reaches superheat

Another timezone
A change of season
It is turning dark again
We're getting ready for yet
Another orbit around our planet

It is time for the galactic cruise
To come to an end
One last view on the world
And the time we have spend
