The Gathering - Strange Machines

It has always been in the back of my mind
Dreaming about going to the corners of time
I always wanted to fly in strange machines

I wanna do centuries in a lifetime
And feel it with my hands
Touch the world war II and Cleopatra
Flying...

Could it be that my dream would come true
Building a machine that would actually do
What I want it to do

Russian revolution, let's do that in one day
Beethoven and Gershwin I think that would be o.k.
More than anything I wanna fly in strange machines

I wanna do centuries in a lifetime
And see it with my eyes
Watch Jesus rise, if he ever did
Flying...

I wanna do centuries in a lifetime
And feel it with my hands
Touch renaissance and Chaka Khan
Flying...

The Gathering - In Motion #1

Kill me with your thoughts
Use your mind
Hand me over to this world
Into death...

Make me cry in vain
Leave one tear
Touch my face with your sigh
Leave me against the stream
One hundred worlds will see me
Passing by...

The Gathering - In Motion #2

I see him turn away
Although my eyes are shut with emptiness
And again the rain falls down
Together with me

This blood in my body runs for you
Drink my tears as I cry

My heart and my mind crave for you
Drink my tears as I cry

It is sad how the rain falls down

I see you walk away
Falling down I cry and scream your name
And again the rain falls down
Together with me

My ache is yours as I am
Drink my tears as I cry

The Gathering - Sand And Mercury

My dear, don't leave me now
Close at the edge of my end
All this time you have been my friend
Don't go, stay for a while

My dear, you're losing me now
This will be my last hour
Hear my voice, see my face
See how sick I am
How I long for your embrace
