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

End Of The Earth
03:44
|
|||
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

A Midnight Ball
03:36

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.

Moving The Still
04:17
|

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

They Bring The Dead
05:05
|
|||
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

Whispering Death
04:19
|
|||
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.

Down The Rabbit Hole
03:58
|
|||
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

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
