Princess of Æthiopia
And daughter of Cassiopeia
Beauty unmatched by all but the stars in the sky
A proud mother who can't hold her tongue
The child's expectations running hotter than the sun
Hubris visiting the sins of the mother on her child
A petty god's indignation
At the Nereids' perceived humiliation
The waves and storms of Poseidon's wrath
Wrecking everything in its path
There's only one solution
To this problematic situation
Sacrifice the girl to the jaws of the sea
Torn from the arms of her mother
Her clothes and dignity rent asunder
Superstition and ignorance rule the day
Chained to a rock beside the ocean
The hapless victim of the savage notion
That's she's the one who must be cast away
Closer and closer the beast draws near
Higher and higher the mounting terror
(Feel the heat from its breath
The ground shakes with every step
Those teeth, that mouth, the odour of death
All hope is lost, is this the end?)
From the sky descends the hero with wings at his heels
Wielding the Gorgon's head and Argosian steel
Heroic, noble, demigod, son of Zeus
Battling Poseidon's ocean-monster Cetus
Whips out Medusa's head
Now the creature is dead
Then he does the same to Phinaeus
For the girl's hand
For she was to be the queen of men

FIGHT! (feat. Nick Lee)

Uncomfortable in your disguise
And looking over your back with Janus' eyes
Cos' you're living in a world that you don't recognise
The changing of the status quo
Is the biggest chapter in your tale of woe
The encroaching future left you no place to go
Yet you choose to fight on the losing side of history
It's a mystery to me
Why you can't decide on a compromise to your beliefs
This is a fight that won't bring you victory
Your unsustainable point of view
Will all too soon disappear into the void
Your repudiation of the truth
Will guarantee that you will all be left behind
Yet you choose to fight on the losing side of history
It's a mystery to me
Why you can't decide on a compromise to your beliefs
This is a fight that won't bring you victory
The future becomes the present
The present becomes the past
Your rose-tinted views of tradition
Were never built to last
Your only hope is to adapt
Or to face extinction
In your constitution you lack
The capability for evolution
So you choose to fight...
Still you choose to fight...

Superman Returns

If I could let you in
Let you into my mind
You would be
Be beside yourself
Enclosed with the space
The space within you
There's space enough for me
Space enough for me to breathe
And if you wanted to be alone
Be all alone
Inside my head
You'll find you have a home
Conspire with me in super-villainy
And we'll watch the world burn
Come fly with me, fly wild and free
Just like when Superman Returns
If I could see through
See right through the fog
And I feel you
Feel you right down to the bone
Enclosed with the space
The space within you
There's space enough for me
Space enough for me to see
And if I wanted to be alone
I'd be alone
Inside my head
Without you isn't home
Conspire with me in super-villainy
And we'll watch the world burn
Come fly with me, fly wild and free
Just like when Superman Returns

Introspect and what you find
Mirror reflects your evil eye
Circumspect is not your style
The architect of your own lie
Effervescent in your deceit
Your debasement has a receipt
Abstinence is quite the feat
Ambivalent to the bitter treat
Goodbye, the scars will heal
The sun still shines on me
Goodbye, cut a new deal
I'll find something real
Goodbye, it's all so clear
A new beginning's here
Goodbye, this time for real
Goodbye, goodbye my dear
Severance of the accord
A consequence of wayward thought
Somnolence because you're bored
Ignorance is the river's ford
Vindication in the demise
Fascination with foolish highs
A condemnation of your vice
Salutations this is goodbye
Goodbye, the scars will heal
The sun still shines on me
Goodbye, cut a new deal
I'll find something real
Goodbye, it's all so clear
A new beginning's here
Goodbye, this time for real
Goodbye, goodbye my dear

God, I hate this air
And I really don't care
About most of these people
With personalities so vile
Gonna take me a drag
While I take a look back
And I swear it's the last one
I promise I'm not in denial
For I love to hate this place
As the weather turns
Gonna take what I learned
And let the city burn
Let the city burn
Goodbye to this forsaken waste
There's no time for regret
And no need to fret
Gonna take what I get
Gonna take what I get
Gonna take a chance
Try a different dance
And find some brand new partners
The situation's not ideal
Five years in the breach
Has done a lot to teach me
About how oranges work
But maybe I like apples
But I've grown to like your face
If it wasn't for you
There'd be nothing to do
And you know it's true
You know it's true
And I'll always celebrate
What we had before
Nothing less nothing more
As I walk out the door
As I walk out that door
As I walk out that door...
Now as we stoke the dying embers of summer
They're smouldering like the memories I'll always remember
They were the best of times
And even the worst was fine
Goodbye

The Sea was your lover
And you dreamt of her lure
Letting yourself fall back
Into her embrace
Like a tree falling silently
In winter snow
She sweeps you away
Buoyant and free
The Sea was your lover
And you her Sky
She mirrored your thoughts, the clouds
And the colour of your eyes
She lapped over you
A wave at a time
At once you knew
She had given herself
All of herself away to you
Your lover was the Sea
And you her Sky
You set sail on her loving gaze
Letting her guide
From one blueness to another
Far and wide
She swept you away
The Sea was your lover
But you had to slip away
The day you saw the peak
Of a faraway land
You knew you had to set foot
On the bittersweet sand
The Sea was your lover
And you her Sky
