Terrified smile
New bood
My old religion
More smoke since you've been around
Bone dry
What have I brought in?
Mood rings
An ultimatum
Spy rockets can't invade my space
Touchdown at the Mars Man's face
Same channel and the same bat place
Look around look around with a very large mind
Sold used
Your invitation
Realize the best deal went down
Red boots initiation
Danger is holding your breath
Spy rockets can't invade my space
Touchdown at the Mars Man's face
Same channel and the same bat place
Look around look around with a very large mind
Spy rockets can't invade my space
Look around look around with a very large mind
Terrified smile
Terrified smille
Hell bent
This time I won't Land
Flood gates to higher vision
Spy rockets can't invade my space
Touchdown at the Mars Man's face
Same channel and the same bat place
Look around look around with a very large mind
Spy rockets can't invade my space
Touchdown at the Mars Man's face
Same channel and the same bat place
Look around look around with a very large mind
Look around look around with a very large mind
Terrified smile

Sacrifice

Groove through the seasons
Oh, my love
Dance to the music in my bones
Dig with a hunger, lonely dog
This for the promised second sun
Turn my whole world over to you
Learn without words what else to do
Lift seven veils before my eyes
Wished from a wellsprings sacrifice
Grant us, oh spirits in the trees
Rest for the weary and diseased
Smile on the jester's best disguise
Wished from a wellsprings sacrifice
Sacrifice
Sacrifice
Groove through the seasons
Oh, my love
Dance to the music in my bones
Dig with a hunger, lonely dog
This for the promised second sun

The Great Return
04:22
|
|||
|
I'm left out side
All roped and tide
Like a Taurus moon bull
When I catch my flight and wave
Goodnight from a pterodactyl
Beyond rhyme or reason
Beyond my horizon
Forever now and only now thirteen ghost dancers make no sound
And as I break my vows and pray out loud
No one answers as I drown
Beyond rhyme or reason
Beyond my horizon
Smoking mirror of the Heaven's dome
Scattered ashes mark
The Great Return
I don't mind doing time
Every now and then
I don't mind doing time
Every now and then
Have you seen my white stone?
Cross my bones it was thrown
Beyond my horizon
Between the daylight and the dark
Stands the Lord of both ways
In the dream of snake bites I wear a mask
To the fires on All Hallows' Eve
I don't mind doing time
Every now and then
I don't mind
Doing time
I don't mind
I don't mind doing time
Every now and then
I don't mind
Doing time
I don't mind

The Howling
04:20
|
|||
|
Well, how long have I hoped
To kiss the stranger's hand
There's no need now to explain
Just let me understand
Release me to my grave
No need now to pretend
I will cross that final line to close my haunted eyes
Every night I wait for you
All night, yea
With my life I wait for you
Sleeping on the floor
There's nothing on the table
It's hard now to ignore
The howling in the night
It's racing through your veins
The fears that entertain you
Oh, how will you sustain your growing appetite?
Every night I wait for you
All night
With my life I wait for you
There's violence at your door
And chains won't keep you in
You've always wanted more
Since you first tasted your own blood
With my life I wait for you

Lie Low Dark Moon
04:04
|
|||
|
It's all my fault
You had to risk it all and deal me in
My queen of shades
I sank beneath the waves lying low on dark moon
One way
We taxi down the runway
Wrong lane
Right to fate
Left barking up the wrong tree
Three days
Deep world of sound
Drivin' me underground
All alone
I'm dying
One way
We taxi down the runway
Wrong land
Right to fate
Left barking up the wrong tree
Three days
Three dark nights
Slight of hand played the joker wild
But her story eclipses my story
It's her story
Lie low dark moon
Lie low dark moon
Three dark
Three dark nights
I'm bound by my demon's pride
Cuz her story eclipses history
It's Herstory
Lie low dark moon
Lie low dark moon

Straight To Hell
04:04
|
|||
|
Sing to me
A music box song
By candle light
I watch your shadow on my wall
Dark parts of you
Made me feel so at home
But I left home
Just once
Just like I'm leaving you
I said what I came to say
I show what I can't explain
Tasting the tears we make
Aiming our arrows straight
Straight to Hell
Where Heaven used to be
Sing to me
A Righteous song
An Unchained Melody
I said what I came to say
I show what I can't explain
Tasting the tears we make
Aiming our arrows straight
To Hell
I said what I came to say
I show what I can't explain
Tasting the tears we make
Aiming our arrows straight
To Hell

All The Same
04:01
|

|
A promise is forever
Our names in the sand
I tried so hard to hold on to your hand
Love is forever
Angels in the snow
Breaking us down trough zero and below
Try to love you all the same
I try to love you all the same
Try to love you all the same
Dreamers are forever
You once said to me
Just close your eyes and tell me what you see
Circles are forever
Nowhere to begin
You push me out holding all you pain in
Try to love you all the same
I try to love you all the same
Try to love you all the same

Eros Guardian
03:12

I need a friend
I need an enemy as my defense
Return to send
Let's stop and think a spell before we begin
Eros guardian
Caught up in circles of now and when
I see you again
I couldn't breathe til the story's end
Venus and child
My silent partner sings
I flower and fade
I lean on a sign
Moments of clarity are reasons to rhyme
Eros guardian
Caught up in circles of now and when
I see you again
I couldn't breathe til the story's end
Eros guardian
Caught up in circles of now and when
I see you again
I couldn't breathe til the story's end

Puck's Epilogue
02:33
|
|||
|
If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber’d here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
if you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to ‘scape the serpent’s tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends

Graduation day stalks me like I'm prey
Make it to the end
Lose my oldest friends in conquest of
One World
Get what you can
I'm nothin'
Well after my release
Still I drag my leash
Tempered by the laws
Blind to what I saw before they got to me
Potential was free
I'm nothin' I'm nothin'
Dad says talk is cheap
He talks anyway
Logic of deceit
Went to war for peace
The end justifies the means in the
One World scheme
I'm nothin'.......
