It's just begun to spiral out of hand as we lose our ground
Could we have ever known that we'd be standing still while barely holding on? So step out of the light so step out of the light and pass the belt I'll hold the world as witness as you're passing out I'll hold this child as hostage as i let go of the wheel 02. Perpetual Generations
i sing that sacred harmony
that makes our minds align in the old way i sing that sacred harmony to know what its like to finally be free Praise for the wicked and a curse for the earth heroes die Diseased we wait on the altars of ash Rats will devour the sky Home is a lie home feels like a lie straight from holes in the earth take me to the place where the stars arent dying home feels like a lie 03. Holes In The Desert
Now let me bring you to your knees again
A gentle noise whispered by sharpened tongues In my absence, I've been waiting to wake you up So step back while i demonstrate the end of time its enveloped my senses my voice cant explain (Let me go) the earth-rise at midnight that paints the terrain with colors and shapes and vibrations that shake my entire awareness alive and awake we've been here before (as i recall) and we've traveled the stars (your famous last words) but now we're caught up in (we never saw) the most galactic of wars (what was before our eyes) it's time to remember its time that we feel the light we created to nurture and heal Now let me show you how empty we are Our weak breath, lack of spine and broken teeth My existence has been greatly fabricated Look away, we're about to go up in flames As i recall your famous last words "We never saw what was before our eyes" Can you believe we ever even tried? How could we have ever known? Far beyond the dust and debris 05. An Ache For The Distance
You just gave it all away
Half seas over Your gate swings open, angles collide For a bit of calico, heavy sugar Now our lips are numb, angles align My heart lies far away from here (my heart....lies far away) I follow the open road into her arms, the sun burns out. 06. 25s & The Royal Blues
I pave the way with gold & black suns
Rest assured this is all a dream. I feel ill & all of the world is fading before my eyes. trust in....the paper ride...you will get home safely We've forgotten nothing and no one is safe my skin crawls in the most peculiar of ways i've paved i've paved my way...to the next world over 07. Courage
The strength to leave
The courage to return What awaits? Will I still know you? Will you remember me? The risk, the pain Desire, torn Alone, your warmth Incomplete, consumed Become, yearn Return, crave 08. Your Calm Waters
Just promise me at the last second
You'll reach down and pull me out I don't have lungs like you, so please breath in life. But hold me down, until you feel me rise inside. I'll follow you just take my hand and we'll disappear Before you climb off, check the pulse bring me back to life Just keep on looking, for my beating heart Please keep searching, ill be waiting there Just keep on looking (bring me ...bring me back....bring me back to life) one day they will all finally see things through our eyes 09. Horse Thieves
Divine mare, I've been dreaming of leaving here.
Oh pale horse, please share the plague I've grown tired of this plain I've seen enough, now take it all away a blind eye to falling skies You've never looked, so alive Our light has been eclipsed they hide before our eyes Now hold me closer now as we wait for their teeth Between you & I, im sick of waiting and i don't care to see dawn again. The moonlight told me to leave it all behind I'll paint you black with tar off the gears from the center of the earth Now look at her, she's birthing the serpent, once again Now look at her, she's showing us mercy, once again bring forth... bring forth the serpents tongue and show me how to live |
