Sink Or Swim 03:58
Another birthday I keep myself awake I found the biggest bridge Where I found my will to carry on A deeper feeling I gave myself away I keep the little things That hold me back Sink or swim I feel it wearing me thin I'll try persistence Keep the sharks at bay I know they smell the blood That pumps straight from my heart They pull me under Now my mind begins to fade I fear of growing old But not today Sink or swim I feel it wearing me thin Sink or swim I feel it I feel it

A view... of a world ashen grey From the towers that rise, For pig headed liars At the end of our days Greed Has defiled and devoured But seeds that are saved They welcome their graves In the the unceded ground O Mother we herald the fire Look to the stars, the end of the earth we decree Is where we long to be See How she endlessly bleeds The oil in her veins It drains and it drains So how can you sleep? Needlessly Suffer to be For Impermanent gains The present lays waste And the future can’t breathe. O Mother we herald the fire Look to the stars, for the end of the earth we decree Is where we long to be Pry them awake The eyes that determine our fate Pry them awake, We'll open your eyes before it's too late How many times must we stand in a line, Lay claim to the earth while you forfeit your child How many times can you sit there and smile The old will grow old and the young burnt alive.

The Widow 04:00
In a place so close She’s always so far away In the wretched life Asleep on the floor His shadow emerging In the crack ‘neath the door So long my heart Her head screams no more And oh how lowly lies the widow As black as night It weaves a web inside your mind To hypnotise So uncertain yet so defiant in her stride She weeps And she bites And his hands turned cold The whites of his eyes that remained From the stranglehold She makes her escape His faustian pleasure Is the hourglass that’s draining So long my heart My head goes on and on and on and on and... Oh but lowly lies the widow As black as night To weave a web inside your mind and hypnotise So uncertain yet so defiant in her stride She sleeps And she bites

Come all you sinners Come one and all Come watch the madness, it’ll do untold harm Despaired and beguiled by intemperate delights Darling you’ll get such a fright Again and again... One by one see You that I adore Upon us the hour of perpetual night Darling you’ll get such a fright Again and again The hour upon us A bleak masquerade A sleek rustic banquet to mask the decayed The courtiers defiant of contagion and blame A sagacious delirious cry cry cry One by one see You that I adore As Strauss dropped the cadence Goose step to the beat What a peculiar sight Again and again In blood bedewed halls of their revel we lie As Nero’s violin humbly wept all the while You are longing for a love that’s all in your head One by one see You that I adore Upon us the hour of perpetual night Darling you’ll get such a fright One by one see You that I adore Cometh the hour Don’t leave us to die Darling you’ll feel so alive Our eyes in the darkness Adjusting their sight As the dark hold dominion We'll waltz ever on through the night.

Had a conversation with my memory today The turbulence in silence and the war to separate The sun comes weary Push it down and blame You and I awake til morning breaks Tenebrous the night We can’t prolong the waning day The moving of the stillness And the calm beneath the waves Find what saves you If only it would stay You and I awake til morning breaks You and I awake til morning breaks You and I awake til the morning breaks You and I awake til the morning stays

In breathless night, the devout prevail Come thorns and shroud, come rusted nails But a fear will assail The idle hands of the holy guard Their faith encroached by the truth unmarred Yes they know who you are Finally you come back to save us There’s blood on your hands When the devil reclaimed us But for the earth holding up our feet, we stand alone Moths to the flame are the righteous soldiers Still they bring the dead To deliver us from ourselves Spineless men with a burning cross. Toothless wolves in shepherd's cloth Righteous the cause A blind man despairs when he finally sees Gouge out their eyes, so they always believe The fire burns for thee. I can’t see even when the lights are on Would you be my guide Baby I’m blind

The mourning cry from sorrow’s grave A fatal verse in dark remained Written by the blood that echoes in our veins The credence web that spun deceit The Helmand dries in silent speech Souls athirst were quenched with tears around my feet The heathen sky above the earth Yields the rain for which she yearns A flower blooms in darkened red Carried songs on voiceless breath Still the wind whispers death. Faces cracked and tattered skirt A rain of stone, a bed of dirt Sweetest songs are sung from the cage of wingless birds See horizons through the haze. Will mercy find its way Not victims in our place The Heathen sky above the earth Yield the rain for which she yearns A flower blooms in darkened red Carried songs on voiceless breath Still the wind whispers death.

Round and round the maypole Acacia, clove and thyme The piper played, led us away We all fall down in line Looming shadows dancing In the deadly moonlight glow The wych elm’s twisted branches A hand that beckons so Now that you see, Through a glass darkly We are the answer Do not be frightened The ground beneath me, falling through. Lay me down to sleep, my heart is mine not yours to keep.

I see an endless potential I think I cured my disease I took the time to taste it and now I’m seeing in threes. You picked the right time to find me I was down on my knees Know you don’t want to control me So now I do as I please So if I get too high you gotta talk me down Don’t stay away so long, need you to bring me round I am bound to this energy It pulses through my veins I know life is just a symmetry So why have all this pain So if I get too high you gotta talk me down Don’t stay away so long, need you to break me down Down, down the rabbit hole Either I do too much or I do nothing at all Pull me closer so that I can begin to let go My mind keeps racing faster it’s about to blow So if I get too high you gotta talk me down Don’t stay away so long, need you to bring me round

Interceptor 03:59
Falling Through depths of skewed perceptions Delirium awaits Lucid Abstract new reflections Haunting all the same Mind warped The black eyed and the brainless Plagued by future tense Lukewarm At the edge of the inferno and equilibrium A torturous ritual A noose that ties itself All I see And all I believe All I see comes and goes

It's always there Lurking in the shadows So when you think you're free You should think again It's only a bad thing If you let it be Freedom is so simple Understanding is the key So don't be afraid No don't be afraid Don't be afraid of the dark There isn't a cure No remedy You gotta fight the feeling Because they don't mean a thing When you think it's over Thats when the battle begins Take your eyes off the prize for a second You may as well give in So don't be afraid No don't be afraid Don't be afraid of the dark Now your time is up It seems so abrupt Your minds been corrupted Another soldier lost to a war we'll never win So don't be afraid No don't be afraid Don't be afraid of the dark

Trap A Light 05:26
Yeh the rivers been spoiled again But no one knows how it used be Now their poison keeps it running Someone told you everything you know They heard about it on a tv show The fallacies enabled My arrival comes too late The fake manipulate and gaslight Trap a light illuminate Til you’re forced to be unmade Sleeper awake and make your escape When the pendulum swings to me I’ll deny everything you see Until it all means nothing If you never put it on display Did it really happen anyway? Believe in what feels better My arrival comes too late The fake manipulate and gaslight Trap a light illuminate Til you’re forced to be unmade Sleeper awake and make your escape Why deny All you hide Trap a Light And you'll finally seem ok
