Mysterium Lunae
04:32
|
|||
The cold dark and empty room
with nothing but silence
it calls out into the still
"will you search for me?"
The ghost, buried in the stone
he once was a city of gold
now a terrible shadow grows
the brother stars all agree
There is a light
leading me on passed the grave
there is a light
calling me away
The fold, a red and hallowed scene
a lingering echo is heard
with a voice that calls to me
it sings "la la la la la la la"
There is a light
leading me on passed the grave
there is a light
calling me away
when we go to that sacred place
we'll have eyes of fire, eyes of fire

Brother
03:53
|
|||
Careless Wanderer, let it go, let it go
do what you've been told: let it go, let it go
A father's recompense, let it go, let it go
another second chance, let it go, let it go
whispers and wonders concerning your brother
that leave you alone, at the end of your rope
with nobody home you will fight this alone
the words that you spoke rise up only to choke
the whispers, and the wonders

Awake
04:57
|
|||
This height that I won't climb
Keeping both feet on the ground all of the time
This fight on my mind
Do I go, and soldier on, or let it die?
I hear a voice inside my head
Follow me and awake!
I will take you to a better place
Sometimes, the calm of sea
Hides a rage, underneath, inside of me
This light that I can't hold
It'll burn away the bones
It'll burn the bones away

Weary Soul
05:06
|
|||
I've been walking around for far, far too long
where everyone knows my name, and knows my song
it's been plenty years fighting on the devils' plane
where giving in is little gain to my weary soul
I've set a thousand fires in the name of a thousand little lies
I've set a thousand fires
can somebody tell me what's really going on?
I'm a battle-born, a stranger and a lover scorned
I get sentimental when I mourn for your broken heart
these callous eyes, were never meant to see your sky
just a hurricane that you disguised with how things really are
I've set a thousand fires in the name of
a thousand fires in the name
can somebody tell me what's really going on?

Girl of the Mystic Moon
04:16
|
|||
Sleep now child
you have come a long, long way without
Breathe in, breathe in the night
Let it take over you, over you
Close your eyes
they have seen a burning world fade away
leave this life
and start over again, over again
And sing oh, oh the very thought of you...
tonight, may you find eternal peace
She wakes in autumn and speaks in a whisper
"only the lonely will claim they have missed her"
the spinning of worlds on the tip of her finger
she is to me, the song to the singer
sleep now child
tonight, may you find eternal peace

Parasite
05:07
|
|||
I'm alive to you, I'm alive as long as I'm good
but every step that I take is a calculated mistake
and every drop of blood, will be on your hands
you're a parasite, you're a parasite of the mind
feeding off the dead, living off all our kind
but every single breath will have to be replaced
because we still know, yeah we still know
Well I can run as far, I can run as far as you see
you can bang on your drum, or scream at the top of your lungs
but every sound you make will be your soul to take
|

Red Letters
05:21
|
|||
Oh letters! You were made to destroy, combat our system
we're hopeless
now we're waiting, just waiting
Red letters! You were made to destroy, bring about the end
with hope
now we're waiting, waiting
They'll pick you apart, and leave you to dry on my time
they will never know, never know

Map of Scars
03:00
|
|||
In a crowded place, it's hard to know where to begin
but you find your way, when it all looks dim
every turn will have its own reason
there's a map of scars under your skin
though it feels like someone is watching over me
Everyone loses faith, we trade on vision for another
and hold on to anything, that's "solid ground"
but a wave will bring a new season
there's a map of scars under your skin
though it feels like someone is watching over me

Crawl Around
03:46
|
|||
You've run aground with faces down
a cloud over your head
now seemingly, what you believe
is out of breath
hey, don't crawl around my grave
a sudden end, a great pretend
a shadow in the blaze
don't lose your hope, don't lose yourself
the sun will rise again
hey, don't crawl around my grave

Animator
04:58
|
|||
I know I'm guilty of doing this always:
I make you whatever I need you to be
I'm shallow and hallow, much like this body
I sleep in the shadow of my family tree
Am I made to believe, or made to destroy?
I've always had trouble in telling the two
Let me rest now, and grace me with quiet
Alone with my memory of you
Daylight breathes my waking world
Turning over now
Still you crawl
A break in the armor, a sudden reversal of fortune
I'm lucky that I'm still so young
They'll say on our graves "We were made for this day"
Oh they'll say, oh they'll say, oh they'll say...
Daylight breathes my waking world
Turning over now
When you call I let go of all I believe
And they'll say on our graves, we were made for this day
When the day comes to an end
How will I make amends
With the Light inside of my veins
and this animated chain?
