Reverence and Sanctity,
A lullaby and sweet melody,
And patience is a virtue,
Breaking against the fortress of love,
I'm starry eyed,
For these dreams weren't meant for me,
Behold the light before you,
Shining inside the fortress of love.
I'm on the outside looking in,
And I'm living without your love,
All dreams are whispers in the wind,
A single tear for the broken,
I trace it through the memory of your face.
Serenity you'll never know,
A bountiful heart will overflow,
But I have been forsaken,
Prey unto the fortress of love,
I'm not enough,
But what will be will be,
Am I hopelessly mistaken,
Stranded at the fortress of love.
I'm on the outside looking in,
And I'm living without your love,
All dreams are whispers in the wind,
A single tear for the broken,
I trace it through the memory of your face.
I'm a fool again,
If love is not the answer,
I'm a fool again,
If love is not the answer.
For all my faults my hearts is true,
I only wanted to be with you,
And longing is such a burden,
Deliver me to the fortress of love,
Don't turn away,
Don't dismiss me outta hand,
A future still uncertain,
Promised at the fortress of love.
I'm on the outside looking in,
And I'm living without your love,
All dreams are whispers in the wind,
A single tear for the broken,
I trace it through the memory of your face.
I'm a fool again,
Love is not the answer
I'm a fool again,
Love is not the answer.

Echoes of your laughter,
Tears falling in June,
In the prism of memory,
We gave up all too soon,
Without reservation,
I cut this withered chord,
We use our words like weapons now,
Communication like a sword.
You got me on the downside,
I'll never be a model friend,
But I will always make time for you,
Looking on the bright side,
I won't let you down again,
If I can keep these promises to you.
Recall all the good times,
I remember falling apart,
blue sky turned to thunder,
Carry the weight of a heavy heart,
And there's no consolation,
But the shadow of regret,
We do what's right and best for the kids,
There is love here don't forget.
You got me on the downside,
I'll never be a model friend,
(Was the blame all mine)
But I will always make time for you,
Looking on the bright side,
I won't let you down again,
(All wounds heal in time)
If I can keep these promises to you.
I'd see ya' happy,
I'd see you smile again,
I'll admit that I was wrong,
If I could take it back,
I would save you from this hurt,
And I know, and I know, and I know you know,
It's all my fault.
You got me on the downside,
I'll never be a model friend,
But I will always make time for you,
Looking on the bright side,
I won't let you down again,
If I can keep these promises to you.

I'm hanging in and I fight the good fight,
I'm hanging in but we come undone,
Promises fading in the twilight,
Always on the outside of love.

This girl,
Is she for real,
She's off the chart,
Please forgive me as I pick myself off the floor,
Hey girl,
What is your deal,
You stole my heart,
I'm tongue tied but I'll find the words for sure.
Heaven,
I'm in heaven,
With you,
My only hope is believing,
Heaven,
I'm in heaven,
But you're not the truth,
Because I'm only dreaming.
Romance,
I find myself,
Writing you poetry,
It's no good but it's totally from the heart,
Let's dance,
With my two left feet,
I'll improvise this move for you,
I'm a fool you should know that from the start.

This one girl in a million,
The space that lies between,
If I claim dominion,
Will you be my queen,
So hear my proclamation,
You just mesmerise,
My one preoccupation,
Are you satisfied.
We'll be together because Jennifer you know,
That I see right through you,
Maybe forever unless Jennifer you go,
Like I'm nothing to you.
You take my heart, typical,
And you've got to know,
My love is unconditional,
If it's now or never,
I maybe sentimental,
How I adore you so,
Some things are fundamental,
Will it last forever.
I hope God that you notice,
I hope you'll understand,
I don't have much,
But I give it all to you,
Just to hold your hand.

She plays hard to get,
I will claim dominion,
But don't you lose it yet,
So hear my proclamation,

In your situation,
Are you satisfied.

That I see right through you,

My casual confession,
I only think of you,
A borderline obsession,
The stars align for you,
And if I ever hurt you,
It would be to my surprise,
Maybe I don't deserve you,
The truth is in the lies.
And I can't help it,
It's the way I feel,
You precious diamond,
You're the only thing that's real,
Never given up on you,
It's burning deep inside,
Oh how I tried.
B-b-baby will you ever,
Come to your senses,
I'll give you space,
I'll give you time,
A new perspective,
A little grace redefined,
Never given up on you,
I am never giving up on you,
Oh oh.

Once Around Saturn Sydney, Australia
The nights were cold but electric on Rhea, Saturn’s second largest moon. All the cool kids would gather at the edge of the
Splat, a large crater and centre of Rhea’s nightlife. We’d tune into Earth FM and listen to 80s pop; The soundtrack of our lives.
Year's later, I headed for Earth, networked with Earthling musician talent and fashioned a sound reminiscent of my formative years.

This Was Our Future
by Viperdrive
supported by 9 fans who also own “These Promises”
Listening to this... our future WAS surprisingly upbeat and positive - even if there were a few teen-slashers here and there. This album is something of a best-of of those 80s-vibes, be it the perfect and therefore unreal California vacation, home-computer-idealization or some creepy fun horror in the second half. Apparently, you need only 8 songs to capture it all.
