Intruder
Intruder
is Gary's 23rd studio album.
The End Of Dragons
Sometimes, when I’m sleeping, I can hear your song
Sometimes, when I’m dreaming, I forget that you’re gone
Now when the wind cries, I remember you
Now as the world dies, I remember you
Sometimes, in the silence, I can hear you scream
Sometimes, in the darkness, we are not what we seem
Now when the rain falls, I remember you
Now as the end calls, I remember you
Broken, the hearts of them all, at the end
Broken, the beauty and grace, now long gone
Broken, the heart of the world, at the end
Broken, the whispers of shame, our children
Sometimes we’re scared of the dark, and who waits there
Sometimes we’re scared of the truth, and what hides there
Sometimes we are what we fear, in the end
Memories are all we have when the last breath comes
Moments in a life that has now come undone
Sometimes they warm you, like a long lost friend
Sometimes they calm you, like the oceans end
But sometimes they break your heart
Saints And Liars
He’s standing next to me, far from home
Can you hear your broken promises?
I am what you’ve been waiting for
Can you feel your righteous anger?
It’s like a poison that feeds the soul
Can you hide from Saints and liars
When every word is the death of me?
And this is who you are
Can you break your crumbling idols?
Push the pieces in to the sea
Can I trust you to keep a secret?
I have laughed in the face of God
The Chosen
Do you need one more sign?
A gift for the old?
Can you see, or are you so blind?
I raised the oceans.
Here you are lost to the truth
Lost to all reason.
Here you are, the pain in my heart
The shame on my soul.
And how could you leave your home to burn?
And how could you turn your blue sky grey
And how could you laugh as children warned you
And how could you take their world away
You will fade like a sigh
A breath in the cold.
You will die and I will forget
You were the chosen.
And how could you lose your innocence
And how could you turn your hearts to stone
And how could you laugh as they screamed for you
And how could you steal their dreams away
A Black Sun
When I was a child my life seemed endless. Too far to see
When I was a child the world was waiting and called to me
And everyone I loved would live for eternity
And everything I dreamed would all come true for me
But now I feel the end come
My childish dreams are undone
I cry under a black sun
And every song is unsung
You will hear me when the wind sighs
You will feel me beside you always
You won’t see me but I’ll be with you
When I was a child all love was painless. No tears to cry
When I was a child I played the hero who held the sky
But now I hold you and love is more than I can bare
And when I think of you love becomes a pain to share
And I hear loss calling, and this is pain talking
And I am fear walking, and these are tears falling
Intruder
I could listen to you scream
Pretty music to my ears
I could listen to it all day
If you want me to?
I could talk about my world
How you brought about ruin
I could talk about your greed
If you want me to?
I could look into evil
See a heart just like mine
I could throw away reason
If you want me to?
I could walk into darkness
Find the hole you crawled in to
I will be the intruder
If you want me to?
You can whisper your Lord’s Prayer
And pretend that it matters
But don’t you wish you’d just listened more?
You can hide in the shadows
And pretend I won’t find you
But don’t you wish you’d just listened more?
I could listen to more lies
About promises you kept
Will you walk on water
Like you said you would?
I could make you my prisoner
But you were dead men talking
When you burned the oceans.
Like you said you would
You can beg for God’s mercy
And pretend that He hears you
But don’t you wish you’d just listened more?
You can drown in your sorrow
And pretend you were helpless
But don’t you wish you’d just listened more?
This was always your one life
I won’t pretend that it matters
But don’t you wish you’d just listened more?
This was always your one home
I won’t pretend that I’ll miss you
But don’t you wish you’d just listened more?
I Am Screaming
Do you regret the words you never said?
Do you feel lost like I do?
Do you regret the things you never did
As if time waited for you?
Can you see me?
Can you feel me?
Can you hear me?
I am screaming
Do you regret the songs you never sang?
A love betrayed and broken
Do you regret the life you never lived?
A thousand dreams unopened
You’re welcome to walk with me
You’re welcome to walk alone
You’re welcome to stand with me
You’re welcome to stand alone
For all the things that you could have been
Do you deserve forgiveness?
Of all the things that you could have seen
The blind could not have seen less
You’re welcome to sing with me
You’re welcome to sing alone
You’re welcome to die with me
You’re welcome
The Gift
Do you like the gift I made for you?
Just one little thing left to remember
It’s made to take your breath away
Do you feel it’s beauty within you?
Just one little thing to be aware of
It wants to take your breath away
Do you see the answer is simple?
Elegance in search of the helpless
It waits to take their breath away
Do you scream ‘This is so unfair’?
Maybe I should stop to remind you
This is why I take your breath away
When the dark is closing around you
Spare a thought for what you’ve put me through
You would take, take my breath away
When the last cry escapes from you
You will know exactly how I feel
When your love takes your breath away
Everything I wanted
Is dying with you
Everything I needed
Is like a shadow on the faithful
Everything I promised
Is ending with you
Everything forgive
Is a betrayal of the merciful
At the end when your God forgets you
Does a moment of truth touch the heartless?
Does it take, take your breath away?
At the end look at my choices
This is all I can do now to stop you
I must take, take your breath away
And It Breaks Me Again
Is this how it feels?
It hurts me, it hurts me
And so, is this how you leave us?
It tears me, it tears me
And so, is this how life breaks me?
Without you, without you
And so, is this how it ends
So quiet, so quiet
And so, is this how pain finds us
So helpless, so helpless
And so, is this how love breaks me
By taking, by taking you
When I hear you, I remember
And it breaks me again
When I see you, I remember
And it breaks me again
When I’m sleeping, I remember
And it breaks me again
When I’m breathing, I remember
And it breaks me again
Is this all life is
Just waiting for sorrow
And is sorrow to remind us
That life is a moment in time
But how I have loved you
And love is all life needs to be
Betrayed
You were young so I breathed for you
You were pure so I danced for you
You were lost and I cried for you
You were lost but I was betrayed
You were mine and I worshipped you
You were mine but I was betrayed
Now you hurt and I bleed for you
Now my tears fill oceans for you
You are cold but I burn for you
You are cold and I am betrayed
You are small but I kneel for you
You are small and I am betrayed
You are pain so I scream for you
You are pain and I am betrayed
You are death so I’ll die for you
You are death and I am betrayed
Is This World Not Enough
Is this world not enough
Tell me. Will you stop
When everything lies broken in the dust
My tears are the rain
The whispers of the sane
Your way to God is pain
But this you know
I’ve seen the world of man
Worshipping the sun
And all I know is no-one ever comes
You speak in his name
Such arrogance and shame
And every choice is guided by your fear
I am real
And Heaven is the world you know
I am real
And Heaven is the world you know
When You Fall
I want to talk about you
I want to talk about your ‘thoughts and prayers’
I want to talk about your God
I want to talk about the things we share
Is there anything?
I want to talk about fear
I want to talk about the fear you breed
I want to talk about your faith
And how you keep a straight face
And here you are
With flame in hand
In the dark, when you fall, does He wait for you?
Can you hear, in the quiet? Does He whisper to you?
In the storm, when you scream, does He call for you?
But can you see, just for a moment, that He’s laughing at you?
I want to talk about hate
I want to talk about the hate you feel
I want to talk about your pride
And what exactly you are so proud of
Is there anything?
I want to talk about greed
I want to talk about the greed you hide
I want to talk about your soul
I want to talk about shame
And here you are
With blood on hands
In the dark, when you fall, does He wait for you?
Can you hear, in the quiet? Does He whisper to you?
In the storm, when you scream, does He call for you?
But can you see, just for a moment, that He’s laughing at you?
Now And Forever
I see you
Now and forever
You are why I live
I choose you
Now and forever
And this is my life to give
I am torn
Now and forever
I know all things end
I’ll be lost
In the forever
Until I find you again
Whatever you need
I’ll be in your heart forever
Whatever you feel
I’ll be in your heart forever
Whatever you wish
I’ll be in your heart forever
Here we are
Now and forever
And I breathe you in
Here we stand
Now and forever
Until the end begins
Whenever you call
I’ll be in your heart forever
Whenever you doubt
I’ll be in your heart forever
Whenever you fall
I’ll be in your heart forever
Wherever you are
You’ll be in my heart forever
Wherever you shine
You’ll be in my heart forever
Wherever you dream
You’ll be in my heart forever
Until it’s your time
I’ll wait here for you. Forever
