Faithless
( J. Wilson Copyright 2000)
Featuring Alexandra Slate with Michael Virtue

You said you wouldn't care,
if you went flying through the air
Now you fall apart, where did you lose your heart?
Always ever wanting, never satisfied
Too late to present that olive branch,
when enemies grow tired

 The horizon bends away, where sky blue fades to grey
Can you get healed?  'Cause you're going to feel faithless
Chart a course for your crusade, and get lost along the way
Can you get found?  'Cause you're going down faithless

 People gave with their time, took you by the hand
Offered everything they could, to help you understand
They saw in you a future, they led you to that place
You showed them how you felt, when you set it all ablaze

 No soul left to save, faithless

Wicked Shall Weep
 (J. Wilson Copyright 2000)
Featuring Rappa Robert

I travel on through this tempest at sea
I'm not from here, but this wrath was meant for me
Good mariners cast me out, and into the deep blue I fell
Now I'm in the belly of darkness, the belly of hell

With a song in my heart, a song in my head
With courage my armour, wisdom my strength
As ye shall sow, so shall ye reap
And the wicked shall weep

We seeketh after a sign, there shall be no sign given to it
See Jonah out of the whale, Nineveh awaits

Hey my brother, can you feel that east wind?
With the sun on your head, can you sing?

'But as for me, my feet were almost gone;
my steps had well nigh slipped.
For I was envious at the foolish,
when I saw the prosperity of the wicked'.

                                                            - Psalm 73 v. II & III

Kalpyso
(J. Wilson Copyrighjt 2000)

I've got a world upon my shoulders,
but down here, I forget my calling
Fatherless child, you know how to mother an only son
It was so cold, when first I swam
I've been so long, sleeves rolled up, playing in the dirt
And now I need you again, fatherless child
Come administer your magic charms on me

Seven years is a long time, too deep for a blue knight
Somewhee there's a king waiting, with a promise that is mine

You grabbed my dagger, when I tried to war
And it was only to be a short reprieve,
Ah but for a time...
those brown locks draped around that body,
I saw those locks... I couldn't leave

Journey on, brave a torrent, kill a cyclops, battle through
Somewhere lies my redemption,
there and then I'll remember you

 I've been so long, playing in the dirt
And now I need your magic charms,
you've got me fatherless child

Hate
(P. Joseph & J. Wilson Copyright 2000)

 And I have tried, in my way, but it just keeps getting tougher every day
I know it seems excessive, at times I lack perspective
But I can be so damned defensive of my ways
And all the time the colours that you'll see,
Are shaped by what you're taught, not what you see
The more I look the more I do believe
That this thing I'm running from, is that hate I feel for me

I have walked, straight into a fire and I won't let you
have so many reasons to hate me
My only desire is not to let you go on

What's in a word?  What's in a thought?
You either have or you have not:  the natural ability,
Not scared of what it is you see about yourself,
If I show it to you, will you show it to me?

You must be a rock, showing the patience of Job
And I must a Judas amongst you, just digging for gold
You must be one more Daniel in the lion's den
And I must be?
Stop it right there, these hands have worked deep into Mother Earth
I don't feel the need to prove my worth when I have walked...

Forgiveness 
(J. Wilson Copyright 2000)

You know much and more besides, I don't have an alibi
I'm caught inside a wicked lie
Gave to me your trusting hand, thus, I stole your innocence
Now you surely understand,
That it drives me mad, that I hurt you bad, forgiveness

Gave to me your willing heart, a promise pledged, a blessed start
It couldn't help but fall apart
You know much and more besides, the nature of my wicked game
I've practiced with such diligence,
But I lost again, and I hurt a friend, forgiveness
And still I ask, once more I beg, forgiveness

Give back your trusting hand, give back your willing heart,
Oh sweet forgiveness, I beg forgiveness

I lost again, I hurt a friend, forgiveness
You turn your head, to me instead, forgiveness
And still I ask, once more I beg, forgiveness

You're The Reason I Believe 
(K. Dean & J. Wilson Copyright 2000)

It has taken far too long, to see these hopes play out
How will these labored words turn our song around?
It's like staring at the clock, and wishing you were here
Why can't I tell myself, I deserve you?
Can you begin to count all my failing virtues?
They're so easy to attest, it only takes a fool

You walk a mile child, I'll run a million
You raise a finger, I'll move a mountain
You found the arrow, bring it to me
You're the reason I believe

Why must I insist on wasting so much time
I need that discipline, to put me back in line
It seems I'm keeping you away, and bringing myself down

You state your claim child, I'll show no mercy
You dress my wounds then, I'll face an army
You let the sun in, lie here with me
You're the reason I believe

All those men are not saints,
Yet, I'm a sinner, too
T'was grace that brought you here with me
And grace will see us through
 

The New Church 
(P. Aiello & J. Wilson Copyright 2000)

Brothers, sisters, children too, there's a new church,
with a place for you
A train from Cairo to Waterloo, through Times Square,
Vegas and Timbuktu
You've invested time, changed your ways, chased demons,
All your God damned days
Well, climb on board and keep in mind, you've got to leave,
That tired faith behind

For eighteen cents a minute (some restrictions may apply)
Such a low rate, act now don't wait
Take a picture of the mansion in the sky

Do you deserve a break today?  We'll find it Corporate USA
Have you found that real thing yet?  Think...
it's on the Internet?

For eighteen cents a minute (some restrictions may apply)
Such a low rate, I can leave you at the Gates
Send a postcard from the mansion in the sky
 

Seckle*
(K. Dean, R. Pillay & J. Wilson)
Featuring Michael Virtue

Tail lights dot the early night, trails of isolation
Shifting in the emptiness, blood and hesitation
Journey 'cross the highway, traffic we in pain
Chemical peace of mind pumping through my veins

Seckle it down, turn it around

Embracing the uncertain, madness sinking deep
I swim alone when I see no reflection staring back at me
And my desire, I burn the temple down
Hunt like a hungry beast, I'm coming to your town

Almost There
(K. Dean, P. Joseph & J. Wilson)

You want to talk to millions, but haven't found the right voice yet
I think you must be close, 'cause your audience in me is held fast
You keep me spellbound, your words are so well found
You leave me helpless to seek your care, you're almost there

I'm a foolish dreamer, a Sunday's child is not full of grace
Still, I'm a believer, that good things come to those who wait
My wait was over, as you came closer,
I never felt such a feeling rare
You're almost there

You must have a story to tell, you must have a place to be
How did I stumble on you, or was it you who stumbled on me
I feel my heart race with expectations, I can deliver on that I'm sure
E'er in my mind's eye I see you waiting, you're in my sights now,
I'm almost there
