02. Black Flag Music & lyrics by Roine Stolt
We have come to pray for wind
One more wild adventure to begin There's a hundred million stars A thousand grains of salt upon my skin And the seagulls pave the way As we lost the track of days There's a full hand of enemies But no allegiance to majesties As the sweet sound of cannons roar When the bells and whistles sounds We set sails for another town Just a bunch of wayward souls Hunting for the treasure-troves You can see where the black smokе is rising We just boarded another schoonеr Looking death straight in the eye You will never feel that much alive There is nothing like a clean good fight As we're the kings of the open water Leaving nothing and no one there That thunder is a lifelong love affair You can see where the black smoke is rising We just boarded another schooner Looking death straight in the eye You will never feel that much alive There is nothing like a clean good fight As we're the kings of the open water Leaving no one and nothing there That thunder is a lifelong love affair 03. Miracles For America Music & lyrics by Roine Stolt
Look at what you have
Show some greater love Holding up is tough, more is not enough Gold is holding you ransom as dust turn to dust You can hear them thinking... I'm a simple mind I look for what might shine And the bells might ring A fool is a fool there is no schooling Save your miracles - for America Tell your brothers they must go carry on! So - you got to give, endless is the river There's enough for all 'round that waterhole The sun beats down on YOU like all the rest! Can you hear them calling? You think you can manage on your own? Savе your miracles - for America Tell your brothеrs they must go - carry on Play your miracles! Pray for miracles! Save your miracles - for America A bright and radiant new America Just one more miracle Save your miracles - for America In your mind - you beg for time Reason may just look for rhyme 04. Vertigo Music & lyrics by Roine Stolt
Conceal the night - the world goes 'round
You're feeling helpless - goes round & around You feed the blind - the grid goes down You feed the rages - to hell we're bound Heat it up - you knew what was coming Even days you're not asking for much There'll be days when you have to be honest You feel lost at the end of the day As you keep forgiving it As you keep forgetting it You let nothing stand in your way So don't you judge a book by the cover Find your way out of dismay You're fine by night - but find a good reason As vertigo hits you again Flying your rockets into the wasteland Fear means nothing - with nothing to gain Shame will find its minister And all the world will know his name As the world embrace the sinister You keep on dragging that ball and chain You're fine by night - but find a good reason As vertigo hits you again Flying your rockets into the wasteland All or nothing - but nothing remains Conceal the night - the world goes 'round You fear the darkess it's all around You fly the rockets into the night The sky keeps falling - before your eyes The sky keeps falling - before your eyes You fear the darkness it's all around 05. The Bridge Music & lyrics by Roine Stolt
One soul on a bridge between the light and dark
Two hands reaching out waiting for that spark Once a man on a ledge waiting for the flight One step - leap of faith brings a different light How long now will you wait I'm swaying on a fence How long before we stand Before the end of days Those who will follow have God on their side The river is darker - as I feel inside Waiting for miracles One soul on a bridge with angels on each side This river ain't deep enough So slowly sink and hide Those who will follow have God on thеir side The river is darkеr - as I feel inside Waiting for miracles 06. Ascending To The Stars Music by Zach Kamins

07. Wicked Old Symphony Music & lyrics by Roine Stolt
Aww - when you see the rising violence
You confine yourself in silence And you build your fences higher In your dream - your afterlife is waiting you Inner thoughts are shaping you You know where to go to find me I looked for you Make believin' - without you Something wicked about you But we all have our blinders on You played for me - this wicked old symphony Thinking always about you And the things that has gone before Huh - there's a cynic rising fences - While we come back to our senses We go building fences higher In your dream - the afterlife is awaiting you Inner thoughts are shaping you You know where to go to find me I looked for you Make believin' - 'without you' Something wicked about you But we all have our blinders on You played for me - this wicked old symphony Thinking always about you And the things that has gone before High flying birds - do you ever learn? Showing some concern - while flying High flying birds - do you ever learn? While the engines burn - I'm flying You played for me - this wicked old symphony Thinking always about you And the things that has gone before 08. The Rebel Circus Music by Mirko DeMaio, Roine Stolt
[instrumental]
09. Sleep With The Enemy Music & lyrics by Roine Stolt
You may look for feathers white
And a distant halo Like a second coming - waiting to rise What arrives in thunderclouds May not be 'the promise' Will the finest hour Bring you the light you're awaiting It's a scary world out there If you know what's coming It's the same old darkness That has come to pass - once more You can hear it in the wind - A dark and distant humming And that age of wonders Don't seem to last that long Sleep with me 'Cause tomorrow I'm the enemy Stay with me - and I'll hand you this world You're just that boy but you claim the stars Burning like fever Grave old arms of grief and pain Waiting to embrace (surround) you Bury all the deepest thorns in your heart Find your friends in war & peace But close the doors behind you Our loyalty can shift in hours of need Sleep with me 'Cause tomorrow I'm the enemy Stay with me - and I'll hand you this world Afraid of thee - in the sharpest light of vanity So drown with me And I'll hand you this world You're just that boy but you claim the stars Burning like fever You're just a boy but you claim the stars Claiming forever 10. The Crowning Of Greed Music & lyrics by Roine Stolt
Two souls on a bridge
Between the light and dark Two hands reaching out Waiting for that spark 11. House Of Cards Reprise Music by Zach Kamins

Call on miracles - For America
Call on miracles - For America 13. Steampunk Music & lyrics by Roine Stolt
Guide me thru the darkest waters
Guide me thru the darkest waters Greet me like a friend Wash me up the silver shallows Make me whole again Stand down now the waves of time The salty seas and plains Another glorious end... 14. We Were Always Here Music & lyrics by Roine Stolt
Ride on - to the horizon
Fly home - from this island Come back to your senses Look straight thru the lenses There's lots to understand This evolution of man It's so simple in its purity All that genius - life energies Like forgotten springs of melody We were always here All these lines of illusions Hide them - or use them It's so simple in its purity All that genius - life energies Like forgotten springs of mеlody We were always hеre We were always hеre It's so simple in its purity All that genius - life energies Like forgotten springs of melody We were always here We were always hеre 15. Busking At Brobank Music by Roine Stolt
