Die by the Sword
03:46
|

Blood flows
Like a river
Creating seas,
Of the undead
He feels your fear
As you shiver
The chill that cuts you
To the bone
Is he the quarry
Are you the prey
It’s getting dark
You better chase the day
Die by the sword
Live by the gun
Think you’ve got him
Got him on the run
You better bring bullets
Bring 'em by the ton
Cause you’ll
Die by the sword
And live by the gun
Night creeps in
The dark surrounds
The deadly calls
of the hellish hounds
Pull back the trigger
Let the bullets fly
At the sight of
his glowing eyes
Is he the quarry
Are you the prey
It’s getting dark
You better chase the day
Praying to the light
And waiting for the sunrise
Praying to the light
That you’ll still be here at dawn
Die by the sword
Live by the gun
Think you’ve got him
Got him on the run
You better bring bullets
Bring 'em by the ton
Cause you’ll
Die by the sword
And live by the gun

Ship in the Clouds
03:20
|
|||
You start up tonight
Saying I’m always down
And here we go again
I thought we’d work it through
But now you’re storming out
This happens every time
I’ll get on my ship and sail away
Somewhere must be better than here
I’m leaving the only place I have ever known
My dreams drifting far behind me
Now I’m all alone
I’ve been here before
This time I’ll keep my guard up
But then you appeared
With you charming smile
And I forgot my past
I got on my ship and sailed away
Thinking someplace must be better than here
I left the only place I have ever known
My dreams I left far behind me
Life brings new dreams, life brings new dreams all the time.
I got on my ship and sailed away

Stardust
04:01
|
|||
Of all the places in the universe
I somehow found you
It must be destiny that brought us to this place
You saved me from the blackest hole
My own heart of darkness
And showed me to a brighter way
Cause we are stardust
Born out of time
Forever searching
for a way to combine
We are stardust
Ripped from the sky
Ashes to ashes
Stardust to stardust
Our time together in this world is not the only measure
Of the force of the connection that we share
Even before we knew this life of modern complications
The link was always there
Cause we are stardust
Born out of time
Forever searching
for a way to combine
We are stardust
Ripped from the sky
Ashes to ashes
Stardust to stardust
I will meet you in our favorite corner of the galaxy
where we’ll leave these mortal lives and launch our stellar ride
And the bluest sky on Earth fades to just a memory
there’s no use longing for the way things used to be.
When the world descends to darkness in ten billion years
We’ll watch it all go down without regret or tears
‘Cause everything just happens how it’s meant to be
From start to end it’s always been just you and me
It always was and always is just you and me

Deep Ecology
03:20
|
|||
Parasites invade our land
Poison flows in our veins now
Technology fills the air
Seas flooded with humanity
Bury evil underground
If it’s not seen it won’t hurt, right
Even when the summer’s green
Death grows just beneath
As we smother her we only take away our own breath
This crisis we refuse to see
Mother, mother we have trespassed far too long- this must end
We have no right to do all the things we do, no
Plough the forests, drain the lakes
cut the heads off mountains sacred
drill the oceans, drill the fields
til she cracks and crumbles weary
Disappearing one by one
creatures gone, lost forever
never learn the mysteries
that are hidden deep inside
Every morning,
mourning for her
draw the curtains,
cause it may be too late
for a new day to rise
with blue skies and gold meadows
every evening she weeps, she weeps, she weeps, oh oh oh
As we smother her we only take away our own breath
This crisis we refuse to see
Mother, mother we have trespassed far too long- this must end
We have no right to do all the things we do, no

Pieces of Mind
03:37
|
|||
Morning broke and
Dreams fell away
I awoke to another day
Sunlight mocking
The shadows long
How could I have
Been so wrong
There’s a hole in me now
Where some things are missing
I want my pieces of mind
And the things that you took
All lost to the ages
I miss my pieces of mind
You were so clever
I never missed
What was stolen
With every kiss
Poison clutches
Beneath the skin
Ripping, tearing
From within
There’s a hole in me now
Where some things are missing
I want my pieces of mind
And the things that you took
All lost to the ages
Give me back my pieces of mind
Spreading bits of my trust
Like cards across the table
I just want my pieces of mind
And it may be too late
To save my soul now
Give me back my pieces of mind
Everything that I was
Spread before my eyes now
I just want my pieces of mind
You took my soul and
You drained my heart out
Give me back my pieces of mind
Stop these voices
Ringing from within
Clutching at my
Soul once again
Peace in Pieces
Scattered to the winds
Split between this
Divinity and sin
Give it back now

Sixth Mass Extinction
03:43
|
|||
Living in the sixth mass extinction
One thousand lost in five hundred years
Progress met with reckless destruction
Now we race to save all our walking dead
Five times before
cataclysm
ice, fire, flood, meteor
Darkening skies, shadows rising
this time it’s us, this time it’s us
Living in the sixth mass extinction
Once more face to face with our own demise
Pin our hopes on swift adaptation
Is it too late for our penitence?
Five times before
cataclysm
ice, fire, flood, meteor
Darkening skies, shadows rising
this time it’s us, this time it’s us

Serenity
04:15
|
|||
So hard to see
stars in the night sky
with all the lights of city life
our hopes seem dim
I cannot breathe
I cannot fail to see
the sights, the strain, the strife
their pictures burned behind my eyes
There is no peace
inside this racing mind
filled up with anxious thoughts of all
the pain in this world
I cannot sleep
I cannot block the sounds
the noise, the hurt, the cries
their voices ring on in my ears
Nowhere to hide, no place to find my calm
In a world where there’s too much anger
at a time it seem we’re plunging into darkness
can’t find no sanctuary these days
Where is my serenity?
Where is my serenity?
Where is my serenity?
Where is my serenity now?

Desert
03:40
|
|||
Driving in my car
Across this barren, hopeless land
Not getting very far
Lost my way some time ago
As far as I can see
No one to care or rescue me
Driving in the desert
Never felt so much alone
Drowning in the desert
Burning in the sun
Endless sand surrounding me
I’ll never reach the end
This situation’s getting desperate
I feel the heat devour me
My mind is getting hazy
I start to dream of a black sea
I was searching for some answers
To questions better left unsaid
Now I’m longing for that simple life
But it no longer waits for me
Drowning in the desert
Burning in the sun
Endless sand surrounding me
I’ll never reach the end
My thirst for answers is consuming me (X4)
Drowning in the desert
Burning in the sun
Endless sand surrounding me
I’ll never reach the end

Run Away
03:54
|
|||
Don’t stop, don’t turn around
You can’t see where you’ve been
Promises at your heels
Ghosts surround you now
Once you were part of them
Now you’re all alone
With your hopes at your feet
Can you carry on?
You’ll try to keep on running
Can’t slow down or you’ll fall
Try to race the wind now
Break away from all these fears
You try to run but it takes hold of you
Back then you were so brave
Thought you’d have it all
Grabbed whatever you could
Never mind the cost
Tripped up on your own lies
You can’t escape the past
Why not end this all now
Will you face the truth?
You’ll try to keep on running
Can’t slow down or you’ll fall
Try to race the wind now
Break away from all these fears
Try to run but it takes hold of you
Give into the darkness
Surrender to the here and now
The sooner you’re down on your knees
the faster you can find some peace
give into the darkness
into the pain, the fear, the disenchantment
Face that voice of condemnation
that eats its way inside of you
It’s never too late
It’s never too late
to start again…
