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
2.
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
7.
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
8.
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
