2001 yılında piyasaya sürülen anathema albümü ve albüme ismini veren parça. sözleri;
Long way from home
Nowhere to go
What made the river so cold?
The sweat of thoughts
Trickle down my brow
Soaking and stinging my eye
You've got to face it head on
So you can turn this thing around
cause this ain't right
Telltale signs and cries
Of dreams unfulfilled
And time is running, running dry
Panic stricken bloodshot hearts
Try to restart
But no longer build the well to survive sweet oblivion
You've got to face it head on
So you can turn this thing around
cause this ain't right
I've got these feelings and I don't know why
I see all my fears in the darkness of light
What made the river so cold?
Never anyone to rearrange and fall to
Time inside the empty
Call to the blameless, I am faithless
Placid dying eyes
You've got to face it head on
So you can turn this thing around
cause this ain't right
You have to go eye to eye
Raise your face to the sky
cause this ain't right
i got to believe when I say
Only this is the way
9. Temporary Peace
Deep inside the silence
Staring out upon the sea
The waves washing over
Half forgotten memories
Deep within the moment
Laughter floats upon the breeze
Rising and falling dying down within me
And I swear I never knew how it could be
And all this time all I had inside was what I couldn't see
I swear I never knew how it could be
All the waves washing over all that hurts inside of me
Beyond this beautiful horizon
Lies a dream for you and I
This tranquil scene is still unbroken by the rumors in the sky
But there's a storm closing in
Voices crying on the wind
This serenade is growing colder breaks my soul that tries to sing
And there`s so many, many thoughts
When I try to go to sleep
But with you I start to feel a sort of temporary peace
There's a drift in and out
