Dead Sun
03:16
|
|||
Thought the night was done
Cruel trick of the light;
Dead sun
Morning will bring
Fewer dark things
Sick of these shadows
Wherever we please
We'll go
Bright day, please stay
Keep dreams at bay
You need one
And so you need the other
Can't see the change
Without the other
Rook took flight - we gave chase
We worship the light
In its place
In its place

Canary in the Mine
03:21
|
|||
Down, we go down, and we drown
to the things that you say
So set on going,
but know you can't keep away
So just look to me
And you'll see whether everything is fine
Or I'll drop dead
Because I'm the canary in the mine
South of the mouth there's a mouth
by another name
It don't say nothing,
Still listen, 'cause that's the way
To reason with me
If you see I'm not havin' a good time
'Cause I'll fall first
Because I'm the canary in the mine
Drop to the floor
Run for the door
Settle the score
Run for the door
Drop to the floor
Bargain for more
Don't worry, now you know how
to see other ways
So bank on winning,
Tomorrow if not today
And then look to me
And you'll see, honey, everything is fine
'Cause I'll wilt first
Because I'm the canary in the mine

Bad Leanings
02:41
|
|||
Oh dearest lord
On high, up above
I need your mercy
I need your love
Oh hear me, lord
I tremble and pray
For even the sunrise
Was black that day
Stay near me, lord
I know not what I do
I'll bathe in the goodness
That flows from you
Forgive me, lord
Wipe clean the slate
Absolve my dark sins
And bear their weight
I thought the pain would be but too brief
I drew the blade out from its safe, dark sheath
The wound it left was deep and red
Made good my word and left him dead
It's bad leanings
that have made me slip up
A mouth of ashes - it tasted fine
For I know the lord'll
Catch my meaning
And seek to lead me back in line

Water Deep
03:05
|
|||
It's a tempting of fate
It's desire that won't be ignored
It's resistance that soon gives way
It's a push to the floor
It's a shock to the heart
It's a rage against the pale moonlight
It's refusal to play one's part
It's a plan for a flight
Water deep
A dreamless sleep
It's the calm on the lake
It's a cry out in broad daylight
It's the terror in one sick face
It's a race through the night

Hungry Ghost
03:49
|
|||
Leaves turn
Shades of a crimson sun
We learn somehow not to run
Snow falls
Dark are the nights and days
We're called to watch, and we stay
Bonds break
Change is a silent thief
We make the most of our grief
Mouth small
That of a hungry ghost
You'll always mean, well - the most
Don't be afraid
Know I adore you
Plans can be laid
For what's before you

Babylon
03:08
|
|||
A beast like a leopard
With feet like a bear
A mouth like a lion
Fourteen eyes that stare
Earth's hollow
She'll swallow
Up all those who rebel
The lake's glass
The lake's fire
It holds all the stars that fell
And who - who wears the mark
On the head or on the right hand
The sky grew dark
Red moon, scarred land
The water
Grew hotter
Became the blood of dead men
Heads seven
Horns ten
And ten shining diadems
It is done
Babylon
And the horse is as white as snow
In its mouth a sword
Slays beasts and slays dragons
Praise to the lord
Babylon
It is done

She's the Moon
04:57
|
|||
She's sea-white
In the sun
Sea-green in the trees
She's the moon
They'll wake soon
Weeping from their dreams
The endless ring -
Though young as spring
She's too old not to see
Golden rope
'Round her throat
No more will she flee
All gone blind
All her kind
Forced in to the sea
The iron cage
She sees their age
A spell will set her free
Freed in turn
Eyes that yearn
Harpy eats her dead
Wind blows cold
Long foretold
Wings of bronze turn red
Still she grieves
Love deceives
She has learned to feel
Mortal yet,
Knows regret
Never will she heal
She wonders why
If bodies die
We still think they are real

I'm Not There
03:36
|
|||
We run, we can't walk
'Cause we must watch the clock
And we can't go on
Something's gone, dear
Those times, those nights
That we try hard to hold tight
But we still move on -
Dull things shone once
And I'm there
But I'm not there
And I care
But I don't care
A heart breaks in two
But that's not true -
With you it broke open wide
I nearly died, dear
Don't stay, don't go
One says yes, please, one no
How could I decide?
I'm blank inside, dear
And I'm there
But I'm not there
And I care
But I don't care
You'll seek out someone who'll be
More honest and kind than me
Can't we rewind
And take back all the times
That we couldn't see
The blessings we had around
Renew - start fresh
I swear I'll be my best
I won't bring you down
We're going down, dear
And I'm there
But I'm not there
And I care
But I don't care
