01. Truth

Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
I warned you...

(Money money money money)

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! God yeah!!

Hello!

Oh my god!

I, I, I

It's back!!!

May you learn to live without fear
May you be at peace
May your beauty unfold before you
Everything's changed,
But I am home

02. Stormbending

Music by Devin Townsend, Dave Young, Brian Waddell, Ryan Van Poederooyen, Mike
Lyrics by Devin Townsend
Time is a human construct, and you were below the waves

Time after time, July was in her eyes...
But you lie, You lie to your soul.

Your soul : Let it fly.

I remember the rainy days in Chinatown
Oh, I hope you'll be ok...

Time after time, July was in her eyes...
But you lie, you lie to your soul.

All we're offering is a change to be loved.

03. Failure

Music by Devin Townsend, Dave Young, Brian Waddell, Ryan Van Poederooyen, Mike
Lyrics by Devin Townsend
Do you know you're forgiven all the way now?
Follow me until you see...
There's no way out
Save me, or save her... I'm alone

Could have been a martyr, you fool... you failure.

I won't fear this, I want to play for the world
All these fears go alone.

I won't fear this, I want to play to the world
All these fears go alone.

04. Secret Sciences

Music by Devin Townsend, Dave Young, Brian Waddell, Ryan Van Poederooyen, Mike
Lyrics by Devin Townsend
Some will go and some will stay
Make amends and wait for me
Or catch the plane and wait for me to know the devastation
(Oh no...)
Another rainy day...

Yesterday I woke afraid
Unable to discern if the fears were even tangible
Yet again I slept so poor
Familiar feelings of powerlessness coming through

Yet in these hours of clarity I'm found

Yet again it's me not them
Unable to react in a way that's even logical
Yet alone right here it seems so clear;
Your reaction is the problem and the outcome isn't practical

Yet in these times of weakness I am proud
(Somebody opened up my heart)
As all my secret sciences are found

Let it go, any way- Let it be a part of yesterday
Let it go, any way- Let it be a part of nothing.
Let it go, any way- We shall be a part of loving this

Gold was in your mind. Let it go.

While some will go and some will stay, if I make a mess would you wait for me
Cause I have to go, keep your spirits high and your demons low,
They're not dead they're only sleeping
...so keep your voice down.

Don't go, don't go.

Let it go, any way- Let it be a part of yesterday
Let it go, any way- We will be among the stars.
Let it go, any way- Let it be a part of loving this

05. Higher

Music by Devin Townsend, Dave Young, Brian Waddell, Ryan Van Poederooyen, Mike
Lyrics by Devin Townsend
And you, broken.
There's your legacy, locks you in.
Doesn't matter, I'll stay.
I'm not ready, I'm quite low.
...so are we gonna go?

Higher.

So we'll need a moment far from peaceful to know
We've no reason to be frightened all the time

Higher

Sewing pieces of a lonely threadbare family
Now the world is dying, how the mind must try

Higher

Craft your life, in ways you will be shown
Craft your life in ways that will be known
Craft your life, in ways you will be shown
Craft your life in ways that will bring your darkness

I, the destroyer, shall not be contained.
But ah, keep strong...don't let the bastards grind you down.
Change direction

I, I am I.

I am war by creation

Higher, now go.

So you have grown, always I know.

I know

And you, broken.
And there's your legacy
It locked you in
I won't be a martyr
For love or the father

So are we gonna go?

Take me higher!

06. Stars

Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
I can see you in the stars tonight
Lost in love and light
Hear this call:
As they witness the immortal rise
Lost as love arrives
Hear this call.

Anticipation of the morning comes again
We fear all through the night till the morning comes,
Then we fear the light

But stay the course
You've stayed through worse
Or just stay because you said you would

Anticipation of the evil inside that never arrived
And ill feed it again, the fire burning inside

I can see you in the stars tonight
Lost in love and light
Hear this call:
As they witness the immortal rise
Lost as love arrives
Hear this call.

Warrior, Warrior
Ways began the way, the ways began the way
Warrior, warrior

I can see you in the stars tonight
Lost in love and light
Hear this calling
As they witness the immortal rise
Lost as love arrives
Hear this call

07. Transcendence

Music by Devin Townsend, Dave Young, Brian Waddell, Ryan Van Poederooyen, Mike
Lyrics by Devin Townsend
I draw the line and
Hard times are mine and
All the lies...

I walk the line and
Hard times I'll find and
All the lies

I see, I see you
...but I'll never follow, I'll never follow lies
I see I see you
I'll never follow, I'll never follow love

Haul the line, all the minds

Who transcends this?
I do
Do you transcend this?

I see, I see you
...but I'll never follow, I'll never follow lies
I see I see you
I'll never follow, I'll never follow love

Haul the line, all the minds

Who transcends this?
I do
Do you transcend this?
Who transcends this?
I do
Do you transcend?

08. Offer Your Light

Music & lyrics by Devin Townsend
The way that you've found in your worry your fury
The way that you've found, it's alright

Offer your light to the worst that you're feeling
Offer your light to the ways that you're feeling

The way that you've found in your worry your fury
The way that you've found, it's alright

Offer your light to the worst that you're feeling
Offer your light to the ways that you're feeling

Offer your light to the words that your fearing
Offer your light to the ways that your feeling

The way that you've found in your worry your fury
The way that you've found, it's alright

Offer your light to the worst that you're feeling
Offer your light to the ways that you're feeling

Offer your light to the words that your fearing
Offer your light to the ways that your feeling

You feel it? Offer light.

09. From The Heart

Music by Devin Townsend, Dave Young, Brian Waddell, Ryan Van Poederooyen, Mike
Lyrics by Devin Townsend, Jeffrey M Kagel
As I go through life in search of everything
I have wished my heart away
I have watched this all behind a fear of pain
No one knows this more than I...

I need one more to take it home now
I've got no more to turn the page
...please, I love her.

Jaya seeyaa raama, jai jai hanumaan
Jaya seeyaa raama, jai jai hanumaan

Have I told you lately all that you mean to me?
Have I told you that I love you?
Have I called to say I'm sorry I made you feel this way?
Even told you that I care?

Just need one more to take this home now tonight
I've got no war to fuel the rage
Just need one more to take this home now
I've got no more to fear the pain

I love her.

Jaya seeyaa raama, jai jai hanumaan
Jaya seeyaa raama, jai jai hanumaan

(Hare raama raama raama, seetaa raama raama raama)

10. Transdermal Celebration

Music & lyrics by D. Dreiwitz, J. Freese, G. McClelland, D. Ween, G. Ween
Transdermal celebration
Caused a slight mutation
In the rift
It toppled down a nation
And left the people running for the hills
But the mutants that I see
Shine their beauty unto me
I wish you could see them

Tectonic tribulation
Formed a crust of green beyond the reef
Waves fell in formation
Cause the plants to bend with spi-ked leaves
I'm growing with the land
Time has taken my hands and let me touch them

Hey, hey,
A billion miles to Mark A
Lay on the lawn, he's already home
When the morning ray hits his face

Transdermal celebration
Jets flew in formation
I could see them
Dropping the crustaceans
Leaving trails of flames in their wake
But where is the mutation
Who once told me it was safe, I can't find him
