Leviathan 02:25
Last night I had a dream I swallowed all my teeth Same dream that I had dreamed For forty nights before Forty days out on the waves Your black skies, Your constant rain I see no signs of change, Can't take this anymore You'll never get back home, never get back home Today I'm wide awake And strapped to a burning stake Shipwrecked from my mistakes, Got caught up in the swells I'm passing islands I'm chasing sirens I saw Leviathan Guarding the gates to Hell, So i said, You'll never get back home, never get back home I heard the bell toll For all our wasted souls The golden coast Fades in the horizon The rain fell on all of us, we took the sun for granted

Brush off the dust from your sleeping bones Wrap up your skin in your brightest tones Don't make excuses, don't stay home Come outside Hey, come out tonight Oh, we'll bring the stars to life Hey, come out tonight I wanna hold you tight Wake up, Wake up Jump out of bed Come out and play with the moonlight instead Transplant the dreams tucked safe in your head Into this life Hey, come out tonight Oh, we'll bring the stars to life Hey, come out tonight I wanna hold you tight There may come a day When we trade out the sun for the rain You can run for shelter or stay Don't come looking for me Yeah, you'll know where I'll be I'll be soaked to the core Heaven falling on me There's a truth in the storms That with each strike of lightning I see So come on, come on Dance a little closer baby Come on, come on All night long Come on, come on Dance a little closer Gonna take you home

Zodiac 02:40
You wrote Down the word "forever" on a note And stuck it in a bottle by the shore Said that you could ask for nothing more It sailed Topsy turvy floating on the waves What a way to spend its summer days Sadly it was sucked into the sea A message that was meant for you and me Come back to me, come back to me. So I carved our names carefully into a tree The wise Old Oak that grows beside the stream Once upon a time inside a dream The Stars Shined a kind of Green that matched your eyes A shade that I will always recognize A courtesy that left me much obliged Come back to me, come back to me.

Silent as the man in the moon Violent as a brushfire's roar Deep within this living forest Ivy covering the door There's a secret garden waiting Just beyond the courtyard wall We've Been stuck inside all winter Can't you hear the Bluebirds Call There's a ghost that haunts these sidewalks Trapped inside the streetlights glow Watching all the weary wanderers Shuffling their feet below There's a face inside my mirror Searching for a simpler time All the plants are worn and withered We could bring them back to life We could bring them back to life. Before the sunset, Before the sunrise Before the Earth Turned, A Time Before Time Before the Flames Burned, Before the Night Skies Before the Earth Turned, A Time Before Time

Carry the Lantern over the hills Carry the Lantern Home Carry the Lantern, protect the flame Carry the Lantern Home. Share with the People Give them the Light It will not hurt the fire Follow the path hidden in the night Follow the Holy Sky Carry the Lantern over the Hills Carry the Lantern Home Carry the Lantern, protect the flame Carry the Lantern Home.

Ancient Eyes 02:19
When you give to me Your ancient eyes The clouds come calling Drums will shake the hills And beat the sky till stars come falling All the sacred scrolls Reveal themselves And share their meaning Lungs inside the earth Will be reborn And begin breathing I left you on the front porch steps Sleeping inside September The summer grass bowed to the breeze The fire died down to embers In the small hours of the evening When the trees are waving You came upon my wretched soul To see that it needs saving I once watched you wade into a sea Of endless dreaming Electricity Flowed from the waves into your being Rivers of red wine Crash on the shore Inside your young veins Voices Haunt our house And echo on Into the refrain I left you on the front porch steps Sleeping inside September The summer grass bowed to the breeze The fire died down to embers In the hours of the evening When the trees are waving You came upon my wretched soul to see that it needs saving

Grandfather Tell me how it used to be Grandmother, make sure my face is clean Time travelers, You saw the fall of man But stuck around to watch him get up again you wanted it bad enough to last Grandfather let me try to ease your pain give some relief to your aching frame Grandmother all the tears your eyes have held all that joy wrapped up inside that fragile shell you wanted it bad enough to last you found romance in the moonlight you found hope in the sun you found more than enough when you had when you had none you found comfort in each other and the Family that you made you found God's grace and miracles, in every passing day you wanted it bad enough to last there's static on the television and wisdom in your hands a seed becomes a tree a tree becomes a seed again you wanted it bad enough to last
