How much better could it be?
Love is all that I can see!
I always dreamed about the day that I would find a way to wake up and to finally be free!
And no one's ever loved me like you do!
No one's ever loved me like you do!
I used to hate the things I'd done
(Just about like anyone)
But it was useless not to let it go and now I know I'm just another Servant of the Sun
And no one's ever loved me like you do!
No one's ever loved me like you do!
I used to think I had to fight to change the world
To make it right
But then I learned that everything would burn
And all I had to do was close my eyes and go into the Light
And no one ever loved me like you do!
No one's ever loved me like you do!
It's time to finally be free
Lay your burdens down and follow me
You know I mean it when I say that love and light will show us all the way
No one's ever loved me like you do!
No one's ever loved me like you do!
No one's ever loved me like you do!
No one's ever loved me like you do!

Out of the Darkness (October 15, 2014)
Come gather with us in a circle
Lock arms to your left and your right
Look up at the sky and follow me into the Light
Between us there can be no secrets
Between us can be only love
That and the warmth and the light of the sun up above
Maybe we're finally ready
Maybe today is the day
To light up the world and finally show them the Way
What will they say when it's over?
When we've come to them wave after wave kicking and fighting our way until everyone's saved?
I hope they see what we're doing
I hope that the Message is clear
I hope it's not too late but I know the Reckoning's here
So tell them to look to their heaven
Tell them to kneel down and pray
Salvation is only a meaningless gesture away
So we're all standing here in a circle
Arms locked to left and to right
Ready to bring everybody back into the Light
Nobody says that they're sorry
Nobody says that it's wrong
Nobody says
But like me they're just singing along
But these are the people who love me
The only love I'll ever know
If this is the end it's the end
I'm ready to go
Lock arms to your left and your right
Look up at the sky and follow me into the Light
Between us there can be no secrets
Between us can be only love
That and the warmth and the light of the sun up above
Maybe we're finally ready
Maybe today is the day
To light up the world and finally show them the Way
What will they say when it's over?
When we've come to them wave after wave kicking and fighting our way until everyone's saved?
I hope they see what we're doing
I hope that the Message is clear
I hope it's not too late but I know the Reckoning's here
So tell them to look to their heaven
Tell them to kneel down and pray
Salvation is only a meaningless gesture away
So we're all standing here in a circle
Arms locked to left and to right
Ready to bring everybody back into the Light
Nobody says that they're sorry
Nobody says that it's wrong
Nobody says
But like me they're just singing along
But these are the people who love me
The only love I'll ever know
If this is the end it's the end
I'm ready to go
The Message (August 15, 2014)
Step outside and take my hand and come into the light
They call it delirium but I call it delight
You'll never be alone again
You'll never be afraid
You'll ashamed of the decisions that you've made
But every single step you took was on your way to me
You walked beneath the sun and now the sun will set you free
Fell it washing over you
Feel it free your soul
Feel it lift your spirit up and let it take control
And feel the Message deep inside of you
It loves us all no matter what we do
I know about your life before you looked into the sun
I know you were afraid to love
(You're not the only one)
I know you see the kinds of things that no one else can see
I know you haven't been the kind of man you want to be
I know about your failures
I know about your fear
I know about the madness but the madness broought you here
I know they call you sick and sinful
Twisted and insane
So let me take you in my arms and wash away the pain
And feel the Message deep inside of you
It loves us all no matter what we do
But we're never going to learn our lesson here unless we all confess
And you are never going to hear the Message here unless you give yourself to me
I promise you'll have peace
I promise you'll have love
I promise you'll have happiness and that will be enough
I promise you'll be safe here if the monsters come again
If you believe the Message I will always take you in
I promise you the kind of future only I can share
I promise you will always have somebody here who cares
All of this I promise
And all I ask you in return is to stand here with me arm in arm and watch the world burn
And feel the Message deep inside of you
It loves us all no matter what we do
They call it delirium but I call it delight
You'll never be alone again
You'll never be afraid
You'll ashamed of the decisions that you've made
But every single step you took was on your way to me
You walked beneath the sun and now the sun will set you free
Fell it washing over you
Feel it free your soul
Feel it lift your spirit up and let it take control
And feel the Message deep inside of you
It loves us all no matter what we do
I know about your life before you looked into the sun
I know you were afraid to love
(You're not the only one)
I know you see the kinds of things that no one else can see
I know you haven't been the kind of man you want to be
I know about your failures
I know about your fear
I know about the madness but the madness broought you here
I know they call you sick and sinful
Twisted and insane
So let me take you in my arms and wash away the pain
And feel the Message deep inside of you
It loves us all no matter what we do
But we're never going to learn our lesson here unless we all confess
And you are never going to hear the Message here unless you give yourself to me
I promise you'll have peace
I promise you'll have love
I promise you'll have happiness and that will be enough
I promise you'll be safe here if the monsters come again
If you believe the Message I will always take you in
I promise you the kind of future only I can share
I promise you will always have somebody here who cares
All of this I promise
And all I ask you in return is to stand here with me arm in arm and watch the world burn
And feel the Message deep inside of you
It loves us all no matter what we do
Bliss (August 15, 2014)
I stay up late most every night wondering if it will be all right
Wondering if they can see the monster that's inside of me
You come to me and take my hand
Tell me only you can understand
You tell me not to worry
That the monster isn't coming after me
But when I finally hear it call there's nothing I can do at all but close my eyes and wish it all away
I want you with me every night
Say your name until I get it right
Light a fire they can see from Bleecker Street to Battersea
But I can't always see you there
And sometimes you don't even seem to care
If I can't see the difference I might as well find someone else to be
But when I finally hear the call there's nothing I can do at all but close my eyes and wish it all away
You came to see me one last night
You told me I should go into the light
You told me you would set me free
That Bliss would wash right over me
But all it did was cut me to the bone
You left me bleeding and alone
You left me cold and terrified and knowing that I never would be free
And when I finally hear the call there's nothing I can do at all but close my eyes and wish it all away
Wondering if they can see the monster that's inside of me
You come to me and take my hand
Tell me only you can understand
You tell me not to worry
That the monster isn't coming after me
But when I finally hear it call there's nothing I can do at all but close my eyes and wish it all away
I want you with me every night
Say your name until I get it right
Light a fire they can see from Bleecker Street to Battersea
But I can't always see you there
And sometimes you don't even seem to care
If I can't see the difference I might as well find someone else to be
But when I finally hear the call there's nothing I can do at all but close my eyes and wish it all away
You came to see me one last night
You told me I should go into the light
You told me you would set me free
That Bliss would wash right over me
But all it did was cut me to the bone
You left me bleeding and alone
You left me cold and terrified and knowing that I never would be free
And when I finally hear the call there's nothing I can do at all but close my eyes and wish it all away
