1.
The wild night has finally broken Eastern sky keeps rising Who washes blood from their hands? Come kneel down amongst the thorns The king's crown mirrors his fate Did you see him running in the forest? Where the arrow stuck, the stone lies
2.
A moment of silence. It's here and it’s gone An overnight drive. The grey light before dawn Cardboard cities. Silhouettes in the night My thoughts start to drift as I rest my eyes Asleep at the wheel Hear a voice in the static And the sky swirls surreal as we fly off the end of the world Snap awake. Frozen still Gasping for air as I grasp at the wheel The horizon twists into a menacing grin Wide awake as my nightmare begins Asleep at the wheel Hear a voice in the static And the sky swirls surreal as we fly off the end of the world

Big Sky 05:15
Big sky I am yours she said From root to peak we ascend Take what was given, it was given to you Big sky I am yours Buried under these roots that hold it all This time I'm running under you This time I'm running under you big sky Big sky I am yours we said Radiant blue crash without end Tread the line between day and night Tangled in a dream Big sky I am yours These roots that hold the Earth Roots that hold it all Bury me beneath the Big sky without end

Old Love 05:37
“Old Love” and ancient sea Four days from mutiny Cruel trade of piracy Sail home for amnesty On shore the old corsair Headlong into love affair Found out and made to bear Sail on to anywhere “Old Love” and ancient sea He thieves and so does she Scourge of society Sail from the pirate’s quay
5.
So come on, call your four seasons You succeed by showing your teeth Oh and you know how it feels And you know how it rolls So take me through this darkness And leave what’s left for the wounded You are corrupt, you are torn You are tattered and broke at the seam It’s that push that sends you thousands of miles Across the oceans wide That’s filled with wire and bone And cuts through soul
6.
We watched the moon rise in Atlantis We poured our hearts into the sea It seemed like the end of the world it was just the end of our time Rode the wave Washed in with the tide Time and gravity can be so unkind I should have told you I didn’t mean to lie. You didn’t have to pretend I should have told you where to find my head Dig up my bones and put them on display I’ve been here millions of years So take your time and don’t leave pieces behind I spent the night in a blanket of mud Swallowing stones and losing track of my mind I should have told you I didn’t mean to lie. You didn’t have to pretend I should have told you where to find my head
7.
Hemlock 05:45
Hemlock for Socrates, who did not know his place The modern poisoner would dare not show his face So fill my goblet, and I’ll pull it to the dregs And lay me down when I can’t feel my legs How casually we do what cannot be undone How frivolous it seems to vote and kill someone Do me a service now - look me in the eyes You’ll go on knowing that I was afraid to die
8.
Static 04:00
I’m falling into the sky again as blue fades into grey Forgetting how to remember. Forgetting how to forget A magnetic attraction – A gravitational wave My grip keeps getting weaker – and soon I’m floating away It feels like I’m floating away Eyes dilating. I’m staring into the flame And the wolf that I fed, is what keeps me awake I’ve forgotten how to be bored and I’m sinking into the floor As the hours wash over me – soon I’m floating away It feels like I’m floating away. The taste of metal and Novocain The blaring static inside my head The signal fades into the noise The taste of metal and Novocain The blaring static inside my head And I’m floating, floating, floating, floating away
9.
Blood Moon 08:53
Blood red moon rose and fell and my eyes failed Come rest the body and I knew it was too soon And my heart goes out to those who share this path Come call your lover, your tall dark sinner, and unbind Cast your shadow against this rusted light And feed from the wisdom that falls behind Blood red moon rose and fell In my hands and in my heart let them run Blood red moon rose and fell In my hands and in my heart let them run Dark was my mind when the night ran blue and the wind burned Flames have reached up and burnt the pale cool moon Whilst its tears run red Blood red moon rose and fell In my hands and in my heart let them run Blood red moon rose and fell In my hands and in my heart let them run
