Tracks



02. The Weirding

Careless speeds of light to nowhere
Pass so near no room to grow there
Multiplying moonstruck rabid zoo

No direction weavers waver
Asking darkness for a favor
Earthless black cat showing signs so true

All the blind sight dims the white light
Fire blood raven screams
Spreading influence through waking dreams

The world spins out of tune
And there's nothing we can do
To save her now

Blindly follow twisted tales
It seems forever without fail
Cat's paws mind their fairy stories dear

Leaders lead to cemeteries
Living through apothecaries
Hear the ringing
Swan song drawing near

All the blind sight kills the white light
Fire blood raven screams
Spreading influence through waking dreams

The world spins out of tune
And there's nothing we can do
To save her now

Take my place
In the human race
Lead me from here
The weirding of the wicked world

Electric eyes
Have you seen what lies
Lead me from here
The weirding of the wicked world

03. Silent Sleep

Silent sleep creeps through with crystal sand
Hope to wake in ether's meadowland
Travel on the light
A million miles away from here

Hollowed earth or burning ember light
Four winds carry black into white
Far beyond the blue
A million miles away from here

Swallowed sun by morning's shadow lark
No time here to fear the closing dark
Far beyond the blue
A million miles away from here

These heavy days
Come far too soon
Escape to the dream
To feel in the womb

Turn back the hands
That pull in the night
To live once again
A new second sight

04. The River Under

Here on the side
I really want to show you
Thousands of the faces on the wall
It wasn't time
They've taken all your mind
From the world we left so far behind
The river took the sand
And this chance will end
To live days like the one we never lived
Stealing from the ones you can't forgive
The choice wasn't hard to choose
When they've taken everything to lose
Now you hear the words I never said
And I know a person or two
Who really want to stay with you
The hangman came and took you by the hand
Down to where the river understands

The people talking lives are tolling
And the women have gone away
Wave keep falling rain keeps calling
Where we laughed yesterday

06. Broken Glass

Broken leaves turn to grass
Seasons change into past
And leave me be
I'll wait till the morning has gone away
And turned into dawn

She has come, gone away
Turns back time, other days
When she screams
She takes back the autumn that's turned to grey
And whispers in the rain

Wait for the day when we went on the run
Wait for the day when they took away the sun
Broken glass made to last
Cuts my skin, heals so fast

08. Beyond To Slight The Maze

Weathered stormy heavy hand
Once or twice for grains of sand
To only fall back towards the sky
Fading in the old once more reprise

Living always underground
Sub rosa dosed in shadows found
Bittersweet it slowly grows
Circling around where no one knows
Drowning out the musing grave
Toll for mages cure to save
Sages veil the harbinger
To fight shy of the black blizzard

Leave the world
Disappear
Higher than even the atmosphere
Ebbing out of phase to feel
Beyond to slight the maze

Cloud the clear
The crystalline
Quell the black noise of the mind machine
Ebbing out of phase to feel
Beyond to slight the maze

White horizon out of reach
Can't see the forest for the trees
The bane of all has undermined
Turning to the dream till end of time
Drowning out the musing grave
Toll for mages cure to save
Sages veil the harbinger
To fight shy of the black blizzard
