The Gathering - When We Fall

Can you hear me
Can you hear me

The oceans of our sorrow
And tears we've shed
The colors of new seasons
We wander everywhere
Where no one ever wandered
We find our ways
Through cloudless days of sunlight
We rise, go on, then shine

Across the worlds we hide
Between divided lands and shores we glide
The distance to our visions of tomorrow
Drawing near
Drawing near

When we fall, when we fall
When we fall, when we fall
Can't you see it's tearing me apart
When we fall, when we fall
Can you hear me

The land of dreams we found
Direct descendant of our gods recrowned
As the sunset our conquest disillusioned
Pale and grey
Pale and grey

The oceans of our sorrow
And tears we've shed
The colors of new seasons
We wander everywhere

When we fall, when we fall
Can you hear me
When we fall, when we fall
Can you hear me
Can't you see it's tearing me apart
Can you hear me
When we fall, when we fall
Can you hear me

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

...

The Gathering - I Can See Four Miles

Whatever you do
Whatever you say

Every time I'm here
And every time you're near
Those echoes keeps growing

I shut my eyes
I closed my mouth

Whatever you did

I shut my eyes
I closed my mouth

Unsteady feet on our parkway
Your finger on our door bell
The walls are getting closer in here

The shadow of dependence
Fills the hall with dusty air
Creeping up on my innocence
And the loss of your care

The Gathering - Weightless

Who's gonna love you like I do?
I will until the end and way beyond

Who will heal like I do
When the pouring rain will drown you

You're on your way to somewhere
And where is the thin thin air that you need

And who's gonna care for you
When you're lost and cold and all alone

Who's gonna love you like I do?
I will until the end and way beyond

I see it in your eyes
This is the last goodbye
You stare into the sky
And let your soul fly

I see it in your eyes
This is the last goodbye
I'm breaking, I'm falling
You rest your eyes a while
The strength it takes to provide
I'm breaking, I'm falling
There is no one to blame
That natures life will fade
I'm breaking, I'm falling
There is no one to blame
That natures life will fade
I'm breaking, I'm falling
I'm breaking, I'm falling

The Gathering - Even The Spirits Are Afraid

You think you were earning
Burning the church of your god
You were yearning
Learning the birth of your dirt
Did you think you earned it
Burning your god
That you thought messed up your life?

You spill red
On my cloudy carpet

You think you were earning
Burning the church of your god
You were yearning
Learning the birth of your dirt
Did you think you earned it
Burning your god
That you thought messed up your life?

You spill red
On my cloudy carpet

Your skin turns dust
On my cloudy carpet

You think
You were earning
Burning
Your skin turns dust
No more you were yearning
Burning
Burning
Your skin turns dust

Your skin turns to dust
When holding it close to the sun
And it burns the skin from you're your precious sun
It burns the skin
It burns the skin
It burns the skin

The Gathering - Disconnect

The stars above my clouds
I open up to see
If there's a sign that I could call the beacon of my life

And every time it rains
My moon will fade again
And I am left to save the world from cracking apart and heal

Take a look - the sky is eerie
Feel my breath - my eyes are weary
I try to reach for your attention
You hit me back - incomprehension

I regret I opened
So I disconnect

Take a look - the sky is eerie
Feel my breath - my eyes are weary
I try to reach for your attention
You hit me back - you hit me back

The stars above my clouds
I open up to see
If there's a sign that I could call the beacon of my life
And every time it rains
My moon will fade again
And I am left alone to save the world

I regret I opened
So I disconnect

And every time it rains
My moon will fade again
And I am left alone to save the world from falling apart
And every time it rains
My moon will fade again
And every time it rains
My moon will fade again
And every time it rains
My moon will fade again

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 - Grounded

We met like strangers
For the first time around
It's like my feet took off
Searching for the ground
And acting casually
We talked about the rain
Talked about the rain
Talked about the rain
Talked about the rain

Clouded by those words
I could not see the graceful birds
Taking off and crossing the sea

And it was pouring
And I was the one to blame
The hollow echoes
Of a time gone by so slow
My voice is fading and
Tuning in so low
Tuning in so low

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 - Stronger

I won't be listening to your words
Trying to hold me down (trying to hold you down)
But I just grow stronger
And nobody cares but you

Time
Time won't come back
You'll have to move on
You'll have to move on, oh
Time
You'll have to move on, oh

Who, who do you think you are
How, how can you think your dirt is needed
In this beautiful world of music

Time
You'll have to move on
You'll have to move on
You'll have to move on, oh

Time
Time will go on
You'll have to move on
Time will go on
You'll have to move on
Time will go on
You'll have to move on

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 - A Constant Run

He has a taste of anger

And it's oh so sweet

He likes to make it linger

And he pulls in every single string

We get a warm welcome wrapped in frost

He'll give her every little thing

Sings the sweetest songs to me

She is his favourite little thing

You will be wandering through some beautiful moments

I hear the bluebells ringing

With touch of cooling winds

His sore throat's screaming out of his angry mind

These melodies of softest cream heal her skin

He says we will be healing

And it's oh so neat

I shall repaint the picture

And dye it into abstract art

I need a cloud to jump on, somewhere to dream

To pick my own sparkling sun

Tunes of velvet, breaking in

Into my heart on a constant run

He can provide a safe place when thoughts get heavy

He will be carrying them, oh all of them for you

He will be poisoning her still growing mind

These melodies of softest cream will heal her skin

I'll try to catch the sun beams

They'll be for you my girl

Let shades away, be shining

You are my brightest little pearl

You will be his princess, in his land

He'll give you every little thing

Scented cherries of finest brand

He'll do it all to make her cling

The Gathering - Herbal Movement

The fabric softener of the mind

Makes... makes everything easy

And we slide down

Slide over, you...

Makes... makes everything lazy

And we dive down

Slide over, you...

You know and everything's lazy

And we slide...

And everything is lazy

Slide over you...

The Gathering - On Delay

So I just found out you're leaving
And we are here to stay
Alone with all your laundry
My life put on delay

You put me on delay

And I panicked on the floor
And my heart dropped to the ground

So I pray, please just stay
Don't leave us here alone
You can't go, it's all wrong
I'm frozen to the bone

Don't leave us
Damn I cried

As always, I was sober
You drank your night away
I thought my life was over
Your show was far away

You left me on display
You put me on delay

And I panicked on the floor
And my heart dropped to the ground

So I pray, please just stay
Don't leave us here alone
You can't go, it's all wrong
I'm frozen to the bone

You took me off your list
Goddamn I cried
Not even bottom list
Your head was in the sand
Hoping it would pass
And it did pass

So I pray, please stay
Don't leave us here alone
You can't go, it's all wrong
I'm frozen to the bone

The Gathering - New Moon, Different Day

I'm at the waterside

My cold feet are numb

And I follow my dream

I want to cross

I want to get inside

The clouds make a circle

On the soil that I'm on

And I trust what surrounds me

I want to cross

I break the storm through the clouds

I'm on the other side

I watch time pass

And I see, I have to go along

With the water that will lead the way

And I feel, the rain on my head

And the drops hit me one by one

I break the storm through the clouds

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 - 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 - Your Troubles Are Over

Towards the light

I will move on

And so I learn to move

The one before the next

The steps I take

Will pave the road ahead of me

I awoke this morning

Wondering if I was alive

My head was spinning in circles

Turning to the other side

Bare and broken I hold on to walk

I stumbled over my body

I stumbled over my words

Uncontrollable and wasted

As if I were beyond belief

Bare and broken I hold on to walk

Towards the light

I will walk

Faster than

The speed of mind

Both my arms are wrapped around

This new experience

My head in clouds

My feet firmly on the ground

Towards the light

I will walk

And wrapped my arms around the ground

Beneath my feet

Towards the light

I will run

Towards the light

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 feat Trickster G. - A Life All Mine

Razor sharp I cut
The bull from my life
Too blunt your knife
To slay this dreamer

We might be dogs astray
No running line will hold us
So rather kick and kill me
I'll be butchered all the same

No words are spoken
But the world is broken

'Cause I want something
Something all wrong done
A life instead of mere living
Folding crumbling withering oh hell
What difference when working the way

The crown of my work
Is what I shall gain
At the end of my days

Daylight awake to a puppet world
No strings attach to this body of mine
Folding crumbling withering oh well
The punished pushed along the line
All my actions, all my moves
A life all mine to lose

The crown of my work
A life all mine to lose
A life all mine
Is what I choose
At the end of my days
