wanderingsongQED is one of my favourite techno/dance duos of all time. Unfortunately, this is on the basis of one album, and they've never released more. In fact, there's not been a BLIP from them since 2004. So, since their website www.qedmobius.com went down a couple of months ago and was never revived, I went into a panic because their lyrics were almost all online and I couldn't find them. There were very few in the typical Internet lyrics sites, and many of them were erroneous or totally unrelated.
Then, with the help of some 1337 Internet skills and the Wayback Archive, I managed to salvage what there was. For any other fans out there, here you go.

Hardly a Day
Hardly a day goes by, hardly a day goes by
All the candles are still burning
Like they were the final day
And I know the world will turn until tomorrow
Will the candles be burning then
If it's still today
*Hardly a day goes by, or night falls
All the seconds in the universe collide
If you could read my mind from your world
All the scenes I'm left to dream, I walk alone
Hardly a day goes by
Hardly a day goes by
Feel the fire through the darkness
Should I turn and walk away
I believe the time will come for our tomorrow
And I dream of eternity, but it's still today
*repeat
Hardly a day goes by, hardly a day goes by
Hardly a day goes by
I've been lost inside a moment for too long
Hardly a day goes by, or night falls
I've been lost inside a moment for too long
Hardly a day goes by

So It Is (Kiss the Dream) [transcribed by Winter; errors possible]
birds of a feather flock in a pack
you can't fight the government or paint a cloud black
so it is written, so it is done
the writing's on the wall, but the hand's got a gun
so it is destiny, so it is sealed
if a tree falls in the woods we're all left in a field
we're all left in a field
all left in a field...
so it is written
so it shall be done
(shall be done...)
oh why (oh why)
oh why (oh why)
*oh why do we kiss the dream goodnight
when we know it will never see the light
and smile when we look into the eyes
of a child and there's nowhere left to hide
oh why (oh why)
oh why (oh why)
we're all left in a field...
*repeat x 2
oh why (oh why, oh)
oh why (oh why, oh)
oh why do we kiss the dream goodbye
when we know--
(so it shall be done)

Islands
If I walk away like I don't care
Would you magically appear
oh, to wipe away the tears
Are we fading into darkness
Oh I could swear you feel so near
Please touch me if you're really there
*Let me tell you how I feel
Never felt a love so real
Like an island from a cloud
You'll appear to me somehow
I was yours and you were mine
In another place and time
Like two islands in the sea
Separated endlessly
Now say you love me like you do
And all the things I want to hear
Oh, please whisper in my ear
If all the fates align to find you
And show me how to understand
You're here right now
And I can't even touch your hand
*repeat
Is there a chance for love
Like I've been dreaming of
The dream could fade away and you'd be gone
So I'm holding on
*repeat
Separated endlessly

Alone
Between the shadows and the light
A sea of bodies moving in the light
This could be a place that I call home
We're all together but we're all alone
*And it seems so long
Reaching for a place to feel
Would it be so long
To close our eyes and make it real
**It's a simple fantasy
They would disappear and we'd be dancing here alone
Take my hand and come with me
Our bodies are as one and we are dancing here alone
The lights go down and we first touch
The madness doesn't mean so much
When the afterglow of rapture comes
On the rising tide of pulsing drums
*repeat
**repeat

Running Away [transcribed by Winter]
If I never knew your love for the lifetime
never held you in my arms like the first night
If I'd given up my heart to another
would I know which way to run? now I wonder...
*I'm running away but I'm getting close
Holding you back when I'm letting go
I wanna believe but I never know, will it ever go?
Too many times really ain't enough
That's why you fall when you fall in love
I'm running away but I need to know that you're gonna follow me
I was lost and then you found I was missing
Boy, I can't forget your smile or your kisses
and I know deep in my heart we'll stay together
if the promise that we made was forever...oh!
*repeat
Without you nothing could ever be complete
I never knew that love could get a hold on me
It's got a hold on me
I'm running away...
*repeat x 2

Epilogue (Hardly a Day part 2)
Did I take too long to find you?
Did you think I’d hung you dry?
Did you know that I was just too close to dying
In the Sea of Tranquility, in the godless night
Hardly a day goes by, or night falls
I’ve been stuck inside a moment for too long
If you could read my mind from your world
I would offer these to you, my final words
Hardly a day goes by
Tried to hold my thoughts together
Feel the pieces slip away
And I don’t know why, I don’t know where they’re going
Is the sea my asylum or my resting place?
Hardly a day goes by, or night falls
I’ve been stuck inside a moment for too long
If you could read my mind from your world
I would offer these to you, my final words
Hardly a day goes by
I can’t remember what it feels like to feel
My heart is frozen and the walls have turned to steel
I am lost forever in the prison of my soul
I’m reaching out but there is nothing left to hold
Hardly a day goes by, or night falls
I’ve been stuck inside a moment for too long
If you could read my mind from your world
I would offer these to you, my final words
Hardly a day goes by
Then, with the help of some 1337 Internet skills and the Wayback Archive, I managed to salvage what there was. For any other fans out there, here you go.
