Description
Song from the debut LP of this singer-songwriter-guitarist, who cut his teeth in the New York City punk rock scene before striking out on his own. This noise-filled soundscape creates a dirty, beautiful world all its own, taking the listener on a journey where the troubles of a tortured past inevitably lead those who travel it to a new land of triumph and hope.
Lyrics
Years gone behind that cold hard fence Only way to make it all make sense Did it trap you way deep inside Was it protection or your lie It’s time It’s time Waves and beams crash sweetly before your eyes Splitting into pieces as your soul cries Fractures cut through this web of sin You will never be here again Rip pull bend the metal of your chains Gateway opens the last of your pain It’s time It’s time Waves and beams crash sweetly before your eyes Splitting into pieces as your soul cries Sand burning into seas Castle to the sky Glass melting into stone Your dream is your life Trip down the alley into the ashes Stifle the clocks to cushion the passage When the echo comes to find you Don’t forget what it reminds you It’s time It’s time Waves and beams crash sweetly before your eyes Splitting into pieces as your soul cries Sand burning into seas Castle to the sky Glass melting into stone Your dream is your life Your dream is your life Oh Oh yeah, oh Oh, oh, oh Hands will remember Fingers won’t let it slip Wiser than the mind They know where to grip They know, oh They know where to grip Build a new tower from the ruins of the old Lifted and reborn a new chapter to be told It’s time It’s time Waves and beams crash sweetly before your eyes Splitting into pieces as your soul cries Sand burning into seas Castle to the sky Glass melting into stone Your dream is your life Your dream is your life Your dream, rise Rise, rise, rise
