Intervention Lyrics By Threshold

I was driving through the fens in a peaceful English scene
Paid for by my grandfather the original gunners dream
I was taking life for granted though I was born to die
It's been a long time since a bomb dropped from the expansive Norfolk sky

I was listening to the radio and the talk was all of war
Freed themselves from Tito settling old scores

I was far from Sarejevo it seemed irrelevant to me
If it was U.N. troops or diplomats that had to intervene
We are impotent in our power do we dare to fight again
Must we always kill for freedom what will intervention gain?

It's a symptom of repression and a people held at bay
No freedom of expression waiting for this day
If we impose our standards on a people newly freed
We will be the opressors and the curse of war will breed on

Don't let it breed on
Don't let it breed on

But her cries went right through me
Gripped my heart till I thought that I would die
That little child on the operating table
I had to stop to wipe the tears from my eyes

They had no drugs to comfort her to dull away the pain
As they removed the bloody legacy a cruel shrapnel rain
That had destroyed the lives of the ones she loved
That would shake your faith in the Lord above

And the eyes of the world they are turning away
She had no natural resources to protect her in her play
And the backstreets of her home town
they are burning down in flames
She is part of a new crystal nacht an ethnic cleansing day

We are ignorant we are partisan
We are ignorant we are partisan

Long Way Home Lyrics By Threshold

i thought that you were driving or never thought to ask
all the while you left me in control
somehow i'm surviving it doesn't seem so hard
cos i'm not on this journey all alone

and i know the way i'm feeling but i just can't find the words

i go my own way down i fall again
i see the sunrise only taste the rain
what you remind me i already know
unless i follow every road with you
i take the long way home

you weren't supposed to find me i tried so hard to hide
i never thought you'd want to track me down
i thought that you disowned me every time i strayed
i guess i had it all the wrong way round

and i know the way i'm going but i just can't find the road

i go my own way down i fall again
i see the sunrise only taste the rain
what you remind me i already know
unless i follow every road with you
i take the long way home

and i know that i believe you but i just can't keep the faith

i go my own way down i fall again
i see the sunrise only taste the rain
what you remind me i already know
unless i follow every road with you
i take the long way home

Fragmentation Lyrics By Threshold

We are fragmented
Clinging on to a concept known as how
Drifting through dimensions
In a place which we call now

Simply unaware
Of what goes on above beyond and before
Behind us fly the ragged fragments
Of what should have been much more

Been much more
So unsure
Opening doors

Separate entities in ebb and flow
Fragmentation
Diverse quantities behind us show
Fragmentation

We thought that we would live forever
Now we're mortals like the rest
We were lion hearted fighters
Who were never put to the test

Can't foresee the end but it's round the bend
And it's putting us to flight
I would go with you if you asked me to
And you're frightened that I might

I just might
Souls in flight
Just not right

Separate entities in ebb and flow
Fragmentation
Diverse quantities behind us show
Fragmentation

Half of a fantasy but I never got
Half of the fanta see? but I never got
Half of the fans to see but I never got
Half of the van to sing but I never got
No I never ever never got
Half of the fantasy but I never got
Half of the band to see but I never got
Half of the fans to sing but I never got
Half of the royalties no I never got

It's time to reconvene the wolf pack
And gather these disparate parts
And to exorcise the maniac
And separate these scars

Let my blood flow fast
And neutralise the yearning in my heart
Let my spirit fill with energy
Like its waiting for the start

For the start
A broken heart
Torn apart

Separate entities in ebb and flow
Fragmentation
Diverse quantities behind us show
Fragmentation

Innocent Lyrics By Threshold

picture time as before where you slept through it all
they believe you were there why deny what i said?
vicious lies being heard you stand there how absurd
and with hate in your mind convict me

take my life away or give back the answer you hold
and stand unashamed of what you have done
don't just walk away unlock the chains from your heart
prove my innocence cause i did no wrong

empty words lies from the start? we stood strong never apart
had it all in our hands we had it all, yes you and me
now the tables have turned all i gave you return
makes it hard to believe what you've done to me

don't call me your friend, won't you understand I don't need

take my life away or give back the answer you hold
and stand unashamed of what you have done
don't just walk away unlock the chains from your heart
prove my innocence cause i did no wrong

Paradox Lyrics By Threshold

he makes big generators chewing up the atmosphere
he learns the secrets of nature then destroys her without fear

see him burning the fruits of his labours
and with joy in his heart digs the graves of those
that he's trying to save oh, self destruction's his aim
see the soil turn to dust see the steel turn to rust
killing all those he loves thanking god up above

the paradox of man the paradox of man
he has colossal power but he's helpless as a lamb
he's a mass of contradiction the paradox of man

and he envies the power of his neighbours
and he still fails to see he's become his own
worst enemy oh, will he ever learn?
see the truth turn to lies see the greed in his eyes
wasting all that remains his soul trapped in chains

the paradox of man the paradox of man
he makes big generators chewing up the atmosphere
he learns the secrets of nature then destroys her without fear

soil turn to dust, can his power ever last?
the chains of his gain, reveal secrets of his past
bitter is his greed, but man will never pay
oh lead me through, lead me through, the faults of his rage

he has colossal power but he's helpless as a lamb
he's a mass of contradiction the paradox of man

Exposed Lyrics By Threshold

sick of guessing what's behind your eyes
i ask for truth and all i get is lies
the shrinking violet in your flacid mind
thinks he's cool but all you do is whine
and now you stand there and demand your half
when i have given to you all you have

don't make me laugh at that demo play
you're sick and tired of my clever word play
you find it hard doing things my way
you've done your part so tell me why do you stay

i assume your silence is a foil for rage
you can't find words even at your age
the space between us is the cloak you wear
to hide your feelings oh you just won't dare
to reveal the visage that's behind your mask
we have the answers but you just won't ask

don't make me laugh at that passion play
you're sick and tired of my clever word play
you find it hard doing things my way
you've done your part so tell me why do you stay

now i pick up the entrails of another dead affair
i assume the mantle that i knew you could not wear
you never had the confidence to leave yourself exposed
to the gaze of the tiny minds it's my mission to explode

is this more like it can you get into the groove
or are you paralysed still too scared to move
you are naked you are rooted to the spot
i am the walrus and it's clear that you are not

Mother Earth Lyrics By Threshold

between the tumbling of the mountains and the vastness of the sky
lurks a power that we all dream of none of us knows why
she flies into a temper every time she comes awake
lead us not into destruction with the mess that we now make

oh mother earth don't seal our fate
i'm still standing in the light of day

she's the great benign she-wolf who gives breath to every life
she's a builder and destroyer but she will not be sacrificed
she flies into a temper when thunder rapes the skies
our mother and protector through the interstices of time

oh mother earth don't seal our fate
i'm still drowning in ultraviolet rays

but in the temples, where the children play
they've split the atom, turning night-time into day

oh mother earth don't seal our fate
i'm still standing in the light of day

Lake Of Despond Lyrics By Threshold

i get flashes of reality quickly consumed
in the fog of existence and the thoughts i exhumed
are lost to the grasping fingers of understanding
a dancing light on the edge of my sight
that teases me through the futility of life
and torments my slumbering mind into action

this is not a lethal wait but it can be a kind of deception
vanity is a heavy weight fuelled by a constant rejection

no rational perception of the meaning sustained
i have no pain to measure but the concept remains
high and illusive a briefly glimpsed bright
hall of awareness where my soul is in flight
a strong evolution of humanity's ground
a large inhalation of both meaning and sound
based on a primitive urge of exploration

this is not a lethal wait but it can be a kind of deception
vanity is a heavy weight fuelled by a constant rejection

they say that music is the window of the soul
look through the frosted pane at the melody of my heart
i am the dreamer yes i am the only one
i have been victim of obsession from the start
she came then to me in a cloud of tension
disguised by perfume of lovers affection
maintained a silence kind of rejection
nervous of feelings she was just too scared to mention
but i was staring deep into the lake of despondency

nihilistic nightmare on which i've embarked
my soul is exposed to the truth that is stark
and no one can help me solving this rare conundrum
but the world goes on spinning the sun comes again
washes fear from my memory clears doubt from my brain
the awesome eye sweeps past into the distance

this is not a lethal wait but it can be a kind of deception
vanity is a heavy weight fuelled by a constant rejection

The Latent Gene Lyrics By Threshold

mary's baby's eyes are blue he is to be the chosen few
there's just one thing she's got to do to conceive the latent gene
his absent father's watching him from a gene pool where a billion swim
where mutants form on just a whim and conceive the latent gene

my generation's lost it's patience playing with the world within
accelerated saturation out of our minds on saccharin

mary's baby's eyes are green potential power still unseen
morals cleansed in ethylene and conceive the latent gene
mary's baby's eyes are black a dinucleic heart attack
and the doctor says he's coming back to conceive the latent gene

my generation's lost it's patience playing with the world within
accelerated saturation out of our minds on saccharin

she hears a voice inside her head when all is quiet and she's in bed
it's hard for her to understand the mindspeak of her little man
how can a baby have two mothers adopted long before it's born
conceived by another and from a second torn

but in this safe and confined world within this cookoo's changing it's spots
an outcome unforeseen now we see the latent gene
the doctor's scientific discipline can't stop him changing the plot
an outcome unforeseen now we see the latent gene
faltering telepathy reaching out into his mother's mind

mary's baby's eyes are grey evolution gone astray
changes in his dna have conceived the latent gene

my generation's lost it's patience playing with the world within
accelerated saturation out of our minds on saccharin

Life's Too Good Lyrics By Threshold

i can see what you think of me
i can know what you want from me
i cast a glance and you understand
i think aloud and there's money in my hand
life's too good

why have i been given the design why must i feel guilty all the time
all your garbage clogging up my mind and the new world moves away

how would you feel if you knew all truth
no need to doubt me im living proof
the world at my feet but no right to dare
your blind ignorance removes all care
life's too good

why have i been given the design why must i feel guilty all the time
all your garbage clogging up my mind and the new world moves away

i can make all the fighting cease
yeah i can bring your world to peace
but i would have to hold your mind this way
all your independance gone away
life's too good

why have i been given the design why must i feel guilty all the time
all your garbage clogging up my mind and the new world moves away

Turn On Tune In Lyrics By Threshold

when i speak to you it's in the language of the 20th century people
the ones who are the stars of stage and screen
everything i say has been taught to me by my favourite tv programme
the one that i watch each and every week

turn on tune in drop out

if i concentrate i can break through the wash but only for a moment
my lucid thoughts are lost and out of reach
i would rather fall back into my familiar comfortable persona
the one that my tv was bought to teach

turn on tune in drop out

i can be the hero who can fly around the sun
i can scare you shitless i saw how on channel one
i think that i'm impressing you with funny anecdotes
i got them from my kid's tv and he's too young to vote

we're living in a fantasy but that's ok with me
you believe the whole thing too we're all on mtv
buy into the merchandise and then it becomes real
palpable and plastic packaged neatly on the reel

don't even go outside you will be destroyed
best to stay inside take the networked ride

when i sing to you it's through the haze of mild and modern schizophrenia
the one where i am not the man i am
if i glimpse the real then i am scared into the rampant paranoia
the one where i am still a tv fan

turn on tune in strung out

Light And Space Lyrics By Threshold

as you look on your surroundings from the mountain to the sea
you find everything i gave you you see everything but me
i am the storm that won't be calmed i am the calm that follows
i'm in the stars that fill your sky and when i choose

i'll be in your thoughts i'll be in your dreams
all the light you see all the air you breathe

as you look on all the hurting and the finger points at me
you see freedom in deserting and the cost of being free

i painted the heavens the sun and the moon
i know what's beyond them i know you
i know what's before you and what's going to be
but now is the moment you'll find me

and all that you ever thought will fall to the ground like snow
clearing the air you breathe whitening all you know
and all that you ever see is never the same again
your eyes will be open wide then you will understand

as your science takes you further you'll eventually concede
you can only scratch the surface i'm the one who's playing me
i am the road that won't be found i am the sign that guides you
i'm in the air that's all around and when i choose

i'll be in your thoughts i'll be in your dreams
all the light you see all the air you breathe
