The Sleeper:
Shine- lake of fire
Lines take me higher
My mind drips desire
Confined and overtired
Living this charade
Is getting me nowhere
I can't shake this charade
The city's cold blood calls me home
HomeIt's what I long for
Back homewhere I belong
The city- it calls to me
Decadent scenes from my memory
Sorrow- eternity
My demons are coming to drown me
Help- I'm falling, I'm crawling
I can't keep away from its clutch
Can't have it, this habit
It's calling me back to my home
The Miracle:
I remember the first time she came to me
Poured her soul out all night and cried
I remember I was told there's a new love that's born
For each one that has died
I never thought that I
Could carry on with this life
But I can't resist myself
No matter how hard I try
Living their other life
Is getting them nowhere
I'll make her my wife
Her sweet temptation calls me home
HomeIt's what I long for
My homewhere she belongs
Her ecstasy- means so much to me
Even decieving my own blood
Victoria watches and thoughtfully smiles
She's taking me to my home
Help- he's my brother, but I love her
I can't keep away from her touch
Deception, dishonor
It's calling me back to my home
Nicholas:
Her story- it holds the key
Unlocking dreams from my memory
Solving this mystery
Is everything that is a part of me
Help- regression, obsession
I can't keep away from her touch
Leave no doubt, to find out
It's calling me back to my home
Shine- lake of fire
Lines take me higher
My mind drips desire
Confined and overtired
Living this charade
Is getting me nowhere
I can't shake this charade
The city's cold blood calls me home
HomeIt's what I long for
Back homewhere I belong
The city- it calls to me
Decadent scenes from my memory
Sorrow- eternity
My demons are coming to drown me
Help- I'm falling, I'm crawling
I can't keep away from its clutch
Can't have it, this habit
It's calling me back to my home
The Miracle:
I remember the first time she came to me
Poured her soul out all night and cried
I remember I was told there's a new love that's born
For each one that has died
I never thought that I
Could carry on with this life
But I can't resist myself
No matter how hard I try
Living their other life
Is getting them nowhere
I'll make her my wife
Her sweet temptation calls me home
HomeIt's what I long for
My homewhere she belongs
Her ecstasy- means so much to me
Even decieving my own blood
Victoria watches and thoughtfully smiles
She's taking me to my home
Help- he's my brother, but I love her
I can't keep away from her touch
Deception, dishonor
It's calling me back to my home
Nicholas:
Her story- it holds the key
Unlocking dreams from my memory

Is everything that is a part of me

I can't keep away from her touch

Amazing song, this. If there had to be one standout track from this mesmerizing album, it would be this. Love the references to Part 1. The backward sample on TDOE is instantly recognizable!
i know what you mean!
That is all.
Unlocking dreams from my memory
Solving this mystery
Is everything that is a part of me"
Fucking epic ending to a fucking great song. Never before was I so captivated by James' voice.
A-ma-zingzingzing!
It begins with The Sleeper(Julius) is caught up in drug abuse and gambling("Lines take me higher", 'Can't have it, this habit") and is struggling to get away from it. Victoria, formerly in love with Julius, had to reject him because of it, and The Miracle, Julius' brother, takes advantage of this opportunity to seduce Victoria and make her his own. Towards the end of the song, you can hear the events taking place where Julius is at(A casino), as well as The Miracle and Victoria(Making love). It ends with Nicholas coming to understand that these three people hold the secret to what Victoria is trying to awaken in his memories.
Good shit, great concept album.
