Gethsemane 04:25
Wake up my brothers The wicked hour arrives Farewell my brothers I'll greet you after the night Hello my brothers You come at me with your swords Farewell my brother You're killing me with your kiss

We're burning under city skies We slumber here beneath the night With forever in our sights Straining to see the fading light We'll dine with princes, paupers, and thieves We'll drink with harlots, whores, and kings 'Cause in the end we're the least of these For now we wait here in between As we cross these dying seas Here where even cynics dream Straining to see the fading beams We'll dine with princes, paupers, and thieves We'll drink with harlots, whores, and kings 'Cause in the end we're the least of these

Maps & Mazes 04:56
Father and son, bonded in blood With a fire burning holes in their chests Mother is gone, into the dark When death came and laid her to rest We'll find our way, walking down By the road marked with blood on the ground We'll find our way, marching through These woods painted sadness and blue We'll find our way to the sea Where my lover is waiting for me We'll find our way to their shores Dream of bright lights behind their doors A bullet and gun for father and son The trigger weighs heavy like sin Tattered and torn, threaded in love Carrying on with no start and no end We'll find our way, walking down By the road marked with blood on the ground We'll find our way, marching through These woods painted sadness and blue We'll find our way to the sea Where my lover is waiting for me We'll find our way to their shores Dream of bright lights behind their doors

She trades her charm for cheaper things She's got no time for diamond rings She fakes her way through everything Feigning a smile from ten to three She lays with whoever pays She loves whoever gives enough They come and go as they please She fakes her love for a fee They burn her up like gasoline She gives them everything they see She lays with whoever pays She loves whoever gives enough We sons and daughters of Gomer's breed We live like slaves though we are free Our eyes are fine but we can't see We keep believing fallacies We lay with whoever pays We love whoever gives enough

Annabel Lee 03:25
Many many years ago In a kingdom by the sea There lived a maiden there who you may know Oh she was loved by me In a kingdom by the sea The wind blew out by night, her life it stole And the angels envied me In a kingdom by the sea They stole my Annabel and left her cold Our love was stronger still Than even they could see They could not cut the cord binding souls So now the moon, it beams Every night and brings me dreams In a kingdom by the sea with sinners just like me And now the moon, it shines Illuminates the night As mortals bodies die I see my bride Oh lovely Annabel I see that you are well They've kept us far apart for far too long Oh lovely Annabel As far as I can tell Our love is beautiful and far too strong
6.
I fell in love too soon Down by the drowning pool I fell head first into myself, the fool I fell in love too fast Like chasing burning coals I fell head first into myself, the fool And now I see the sun Shine through the water glass This death can't be undone, I drown, I pass Into the dark abyss Of my reflection's eyes This death can't be undone I found the beauty of myself I found the beauty of my soul In lies, in death and compromise I found the beauty of myself I found the beauty of soul In war, battle waged without a sword Go now and learn from me Shatter the mirrored lies All that which shines and gleams will fade and die So lay your treasures By the eternal tree Its light will never fade Go find the beauty of yourself Go find the beauty of your soul In light, in the dawn behind the night Go find the beauty of yourself Go find the beauty of your soul Be whole, take back the love they stole

The Carousel 05:17
We've been dancing around this fire for ages Now your in my arms, despised and hated You're crawling up this hill The carousel descends Welcome to your hell Here is where it ends for you and those you love Welcome to your hell Nothing will be well for you and your sons Welcome to your pain End of love and grace for you and those you love Welcome to your pain These are darker days for you and your sons You've been forgotten and forsaken But I like you like this, weak and broken You're crawling up this hill The carousel descends Welcome to your hell Here is where it ends for you and those you love Welcome to your hell Nothing will be well for you and your sons Welcome to your pain End of love and grace for you and those you love Welcome to your pain These are darker days for you and your sons What have you done? You're breaking my grasp What have you done? You're breaking my grasp What have you done? There's light in the cracks
8.
Atmosphere 04:12
You fell into a broken love But we built these towers from the mud And we feel something over us And we feel it falling over us It's in the atmosphere, we feel it everywhere It's in the atmosphere, we feel it everywhere It's in the atmosphere It's in the atmosphere They've made such a mess of us But we built these castles from the dust And we feel something over us And we feel it falling over us It's in the atmosphere, we feel it everywhere It's in the atmosphere, we feel it everywhere It's in the atmosphere It's in the atmosphere
9.
All is Sea 02:06
When skies are gone and all is sea Your light is leading me When moon is dark and stars are dreams Your light is leading me Sweet Annabel, I've felt your spell Inebriated by your light Sweet Annabel, now all is well As we dance into the night
10.
You're hanging by a thread And you fall so well, you fall so well You're walking like the dead And you fall so well, you fall so well Wake up, wake up Your light has come The dawn is here, your night is over Lift up your eyes Breathe in and rise The air is clear, your night is over Your eyes are burning bright And you see so well, you see so well Behold the breaking skies And you see so well, you see so well Wake up, wake up Your light has come The dawn is here, your night is over Lift up your eyes Breathe in and rise The air is clear, your night is over Wake up, wake up Daughters and sons Your hope is here, your night is over Lift up your eyes See death's demise The end of fear, your night is over Wake up and breathe it in Wake up and breathe it in The air is clear Your night is over
11.
Flooded 03:18
Can you hear the sound of love rushing us Can you hear the sound of love flooding us Can you hear the sound of love's covering Hear it loud This is you Can you hear the sound of love breaking in Can you hear the sound of love crashing in Can you hear the sound of love resonate Hear it loud This is you And the whole world sings along 'Cause the whole world feels the flood Can you feel the flood Do you feel the rush Can you feel the love Feel it now
