01. Namaste

Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
Follow the way,
Follow the way,
Holding mother

Follow the way,
Follow the way,
Knew we'd come through to stay

What have I learned?

All life, it never goes away
You never will betray
When words have gone away
Remember namaste

Follow the way,
Follow the way,
Holding father

Feeding the feeling of,
Feeding the feeling of;
"Oh my God..."

02. Victim

Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
How many times is it happening?
Everything is happening
It happens right now
How many lives is it threatening?
Every life is deep within
It threatens right now

I'm ready to go, I feel it
I'm ready to go, I feel it

I'm a spaceship superstar

How many times is it violent
Everything is so violent
It's violent right now
I feel no pain!

I'm ready to go, I feel it
I'm ready to go, I feel it

I'm a spaceship superstar

03. Material

Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
Out of man and motor
Out of manic mode
This I swear, this I swear,
This I swear to you
I've got one more ticket to ride
I've got one more (take em alive)
I've got one more reason to write
Give me one more try

Ah, these are the days,
Let them roll as they roll
And be all you are
Because you're beautiful
Material

Hear that truth again!

04. Kingdom

Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
I,
I wonder...
...why I wonder why...
I've come undone
I've come undone

O.K I know I missed it
The point I mean I missed it good
And if I could
Good God I would
Now I've seen the way it's headed
Down and down
The truth descended
Have it here and without worry,
Baby please, there is no hurry,
I'm fine...

Stay with me, play with me

Ego, it's only a soul

Now I see the way I'm headed
Down and down,
The youth descended
Hell is here but it has no fury
Like this woman still,
There is no worry
I'm fine

Stay with me
Play with me

05. Death

Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
Help me, help me, save me from myself...
I'm feeling older, I feel it all
Opened up to love

I never want it to stop
I'm riding the red line
Why can't you stop this thing? ...I know...

I want to go faster
Why can't it go faster?
...oh God, why can't it move faster...
...slow...slow

What's your hurry? ...home grown Surrey weed!!!

06. Devoid

Music by Devin Townsend
(Instrumental)

07. The Complex

Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
Falling, watching ships go down
Falling, watch it all go down

Falling out of line
Falling out of time
More than meets the eye
Murder needs your mind

Watching, watch it all flow down
Falling, watch it all go down
Following by sight
Following through night
More than a keen eye,
Murder needs you

And you're not the only one
And the battle must be won
When the seed is in the ground
You will see what you have found

So let them burn,
So let them fires burn
(It's tattooed on my face)
So let them burn,
Just let them go

And you're not the only one, child
Many battle have been won, child
Beyond the sea be on the ground
You will sieze or you will drown

08. Irish Maiden

Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
The rain is one
Of Earth and Sun
For you and me and everyone
The move is on
The way is long
The pain is here,
But still we carry on

09. Jupiter

Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
I know you
At least I think I do
Everything's changed
But in the days that are so dark
It's wonderful

Silently,
We let our worries be
Quietly,
We give our souls to the sea

But I never even had a chance to say goodbye
I never had a chance to end it all...
...silently...
...carefully...
...quietly...

10. Planet Rain

Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
What have we learned?
From this wee exercise
What have we earned?
Now that it's over

What do we say?
What are we doing here?
Everything's changed,
Everything's stayed the same

But it's quiet now, quiet now
Cause it's the end of the world

What if we've changed?
What if we're finished here
Can we be saved?
Does anybody even care?

So many dream
So many make the grade
So many fail
So many fade away

Show you've a soul by crying

What have we learned,
From this wee exercise?
What have we lost...loving
...
...
...

11. Forgotten
