The Rufus Stone
04:59
|
|||
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

Asleep at the Wheel
03:11
|
|||
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

Wire and Bone
05:31
|
|||
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

Thunderlizard

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

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

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

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
