1. Divide
Tides of glass, return to ash.
In the dawn, we follow the path away from the sun.
Shadows cast in wake of the past.
Reaching out, into the dark and out of the light.
Crawling underneath our feet,
a river running black and green
from the heart of the gallows tree,
where the future and our fate
will bleed into the world below.
Stone to bear the mountain stairs.
In the night, we dance with our devils and dine with the snakes.
The dead will stare in joy and despair
rising up, away from the earth, into the clouds.
From the eye of the Graeae we stole,
a truth that we can't unknow.
Spinning on the threads they sew
in a river of the tears that flow into the world below.
Over, under, threads of fate.
Weaving patterns, soon and late.
As in this life, so in all things
the end result, the action brings.
The fates will divide in three.
A sight that we can't unsee.
We're falling to our hands and knees
as the past and the future bleed into the world below.
2. Diaries
Away from you
The light moves out of view
I'll wait for you
We'll drive where we always do
Over the roads like the blood in our veins
Lines that were broken are now the same
It feels so familiar like nothing has changed
I still remember
When we were strangers
I would believe I was walking in my sleep
We were strangers
When I believed I could wake up from this dream
Nights go by
Hours pass and moonlight dies
Close your eyes
You're dreaming and so am I
You know I can't stay here and I won't pretend
All that begins never comes to an end
It felt so familiar, it's all that remains
I still remember
When we were strangers
I would believe I was walking in my sleep
We were strangers
When I believed I could wake up from this dream
As life moves on
I know that time will take you away
And tear us apart
And when you're gone
I'll wake up with a hand on my heart
And a foot in my grave
3. Superstition
I walk out to the edge of the lake,
eyes following the water
as it washes my convictions away.
He stops me when I'm starting to pray.
He says,
"Intuition is awakening suspicion."
He says,
"My tradition is the art of superstition."
I wake up in the light of the fire,
eyes burning like the ashes
in submission to the heat of desire.
He tells me not to preach to the choir.
He says,
"This condition is a slow decomposition."
He says,
"My religion is the practice of sedition."
He says
He says,
"Intuition is awakening suspicion."
He says,
"My tradition is the art of superstition."
"This condition is a slow decomposition."
He says,
"My religion is the practice of sedition."
4. Destroyer
This is a fantasy, projecting the vanity
A quiet delusion, controlling me
It took the best of me
Dissolving my sanity
A silent intrusion, destroying me
When night expires across this town,
I'll light a fire to burn it down
The end is here and now
I'll burn it down, I'll light a fire
The end is here and now
Making wishes for me. Causing calamity
The only solution, abandons me
This is a tragedy. I meet with it gratefully
It's my execution, and you're joining me
When night expires across this town,
I'll light a fire to burn it down
The end is here and now
I'll burn it down, I'll light a fire
The end is here and now
I'll burn it down
The end is here and now
I'll burn it down
I'll light a fire
The end is here and now
5. Surrender
Tonight they're calling out your name
A light across the river
They're coming for you
Let me in and I'll explain
So dark outside here
I'm afraid I'll disappear
I know you're in there
I sense your fear
Surrender
I know you are hiding here
Come, my dear
You can hide in the night while I'm waiting here, all alone
When you're sleeping, I'm out here watching at your window
Can't you see me?
You and I, we are the same
So cold outside here
I'm afraid you'll disappear
I know you are in there
Just let me in
Surrender
I know you are hiding here
Come, my dear
You can hide in the night while I'm waiting here, all alone
Surrender, and we can disappear
Come, my dear
By the end of the night we'll be far from here, all alone
Now I know where you're hiding, and I want you to notice
The river is rising
I want you to know this
Surrender
I know you are hiding here
Come, my dear
You can hide in the night while I'm waiting here, all alone
Surrender, and we can disappear
Come, my dear
By the end of the night we'll be far from here, all alone
6. Oceania
From the ocean, we were washed up on the other shore
We didn't know where we'd been, or who we were before
We were two brothers and a sister with three poison hearts
We walked so close together, but our souls were always far apart
A slight of hand, a flash of light
Our seasick days and homesick nights
When tomorrow comes, there'll be no end in sight
The dreams of blood devotion follow us here
These tears run into the ocean as we disappear
Underneath the mountain, we took shelter from the storm
When the skies had cleared, we chased our shadows North
We drew a circle in the ashes where we fell asleep
We dreamed about tomorrow and the secret we would always keep
A slight of hand to make us blind
Our past life shared, we left behind
When tomorrow comes, there'll be no end in sight
The dreams of blood devotion follow us here
These tears run into the ocean as we disappear
Home is something I'll never know
It's where I wanted to go
Cause in the world below, I was always alone
A slight of hand, a flash of light
Our seasick days and homesick nights
When tomorrow comes, there'll be no end in sight
The dreams of blood devotion follow us here
These tears run into the ocean as we disappear
7. Rain
Praise the white-handed queen
The gold and the green I give to her
From this broken heart
By nail and by tooth
The blood of my youth flows over her
Falling like the rain.
Falling like the rain.
Falling like the rain.
Praise the truth come to light
The valley of night she gives to me
From her empty heart
By silence and shame
The poison and pain flows over me
Falling like the rain.
Falling like the rain.
Falling like the rain.
Falling like the rain.
Falling like the rain.
Falling like the rain.
Falling like the rain.
Falling like the rain.
Falling like the rain.
8. Beyond
Her footsteps still here in the sand
Her life was left in my hands
She never had much to say
Beyond the sea
Beyond the ordinary
We set her free to far off territories
The stars are falling
The waves are calling
Heart and mind are free
Beyond the sea
Whispers kept low in the water
My one and only daughter
How could it end this way
And I could see
Beyond the ordinary
The distant sea, unholy trinity
Paths collided
Lines divided
Heart and mind are free
Beyond the sea
Her heart and mind are free
Somewhere beyond the sea
9. The Other Side
Let me show you the way through the water
You don't have to explain yourself
Turn your face to the stars
I see you smiling
In summer I drowned you
In winter I found you
As the world falls apart around me
The serpent is dreaming
I don't know this feeling
As we break through the other side
Walking north I can hide for a season
Are you here in the dark with me?
With your voice in the stars
I hear you crying
In summer I drowned you
In winter I found you
As the world falls apart around me
The serpent is dreaming
I don't know this feeling
As we break through the other side
In summer I drowned you
In winter I found you
As the world falls apart around me
The serpent is dreaming
I don't know this feeling
As we break through the other side
