Feel the breeze upon your skin and think of me.
When the day has faded go to sleep.
Lay down deep in waves of peace.
We were young. heart wide open naive fun
But soon to cover with storm the sun. Pain begun
the chastening of Life
Snow drove across the plain.
Bitter sting we've known since past December.
The heart can never go away.
In our souls we feel the sun and we remember.
Time is seems is a very fickle thing
that causes death and bells to ring.
You may lean on a fallen tree but only for a time
The beating and the blood flood.
Acceptance and denial
both wait for you to see it through to the end.

The Sailor and The Sea
04:52

I saw her from afar crashing on the shore beneath the stars.
I knew I'd have to take my chance and set off into the blue expanse.
Hope is an alluring siren. Who calls the sailor out to sea.
Where the truth lies filled with violence to watch the will broken piece by piece.
Overturned and cast asunder, we sink beneath the water. the waves.
The undertow held me like a lover as we sunk to our graves.
But Don't give in to fright. Through this darkness is a light.
I feel my breath is gone but the show must carry on.
Swept under and drug along, what becomes the sailor and the sea?
I know it won't be long. Warm alluring this song.
Echoing it carries on. What becomes the sailor and the sea?
Down below rest his soul. As the flood takes another.
Into the the deep endless sea. In the flood in the endless night.

One to Another
04:49

There is a lover who sees with eyes.
Hears the world with out the lies.
Now strikes eleven the time it flies
don't deny it... anymore.
A torrid hits your face and splash.
Across the walls you feel the crash
Time is coming yet never lasts
don't deny it.
Wheels in the clock turn. hear them ticking away.
Hearts so desperately holding on
Hear the sky falling down to the ground. Let it go. We don't need much of anything.
they ask why but I just say good bye because I know we don't need much of anything but love.
One to another don't let it take you away.
We don't need much of anything but love.
Oh my dear brother, don't let it take you away.
we don't need much of anything but love.
Kingdom rise. Kingdom crash.
With it turns your gold to ash.
Your pride can never last
don't deny it... anymore.

A Frozen Valley
03:28
|

|
I want see life with new eyes. I want to believe it'll burst from the sides.
We need to change our face. A guise no more will have a place.
Life is either a prison cell or an open door for you to dwell
and I can't make your mind for you, but I know what I'm gonna do.
So what do you? So what do you?
I want to know the place where to go. I want to show the heart that know.
Believe me when I say it won't float without style and grace.
As we walk through the valley of the frozen plane. Speak your heart and speak it plain.
No. I can't make your mind for you, but I know what I'm gonna do.
So what do you?

You'll Know the Way
04:04

I was running young and free
When I fell in love with a song you see.
It cut me down and ran me through.
Brought me up to heights I never knew.
Fill me up with love until it's all I see.
Dowse me with kerosene and spark a flame.
An arrow through the heart a soaring melody
off it carried me into the night
And I don't care if they tell me I don't belong here
Because I found my place and I'm never gonna change.
The seas my sway you, but don't be alarmed, my dear.
If you Find your heart and you'll always know the way.
Ambition got the best of me
brought me down upon my knees.
but do I have to gain? to need?
When I have it all in front of me.
I ran right back seeing I was lead astray?
No more to Hesitate. I came on home.
Warm and picturesque just like a photograph
of those that make you laugh.
We danced into the night.
No one knows the life the good Lord made for me
quite like this heart that beats in my chest.
To give it all to fear, Oh, what a fallacy. when I was made be at my best.

Hand and Heart
04:25
|
|||
|
And we don't even know if the sun will shine.
Or the water run true. We're dancing in the light for a breath or two...
a ghost upon the sea... we perceive
The wheel stops spinning when you know it turns.
Just like the fire stops burning when you know it burns.
Life has a way of showing you
the dearest thing to hold on to.
I believe what the good book said.
A life without love is better off dead.
The fall the break the pain we feel.
Pulls us together and makes it real.
We all need each other. Without a hand and heart we die.
Now we're flying blind on our way to the moon.. hither intertwined.
and don't you wanna know the truth behind. The blood. the wine.

Wide-Eyed
03:57
|
|||
|
You got a way with numbers when you know they're counting on you.
Disappointment ain't a figure when you know your aim is true
In the labryth,in the shadows, there they lay and wait.
Bring your wits and bring your gun. Now, don't you hesitate.
Off we go. So far away. We're wide-eyed with wonder.
Off we go. So far away. We're wide eyed with wonder.
When everything here doesn't feel quite right, but we keep on walking though the cold dark night.
We both know where the wild things go.
We keep on moving through the pain and fright. Keep on sailing through the cold dark night.
We both know where the wild things go.
You got a way with cover when you know they're shooting at you.
The volley hit the deck and under. We swam into the water so blue.
In the labyrinth in the shadows. There they lay and wait.
You brought your wits. hold up your gun now. No we can't be late.
Off we go. So far away. We're wide-eyed with wonder.
Off we go. So far away. We're wide eyed with wonder.
When everything here doesn't feel quite right, but we keep on walking though the cold dark night.
We both know where the wild things go.
We keep on moving through the pain and fright. Keep on sailing through the cold dark night.
We both know where the wild things go.

Start a War
04:10
|
|||
|
Here's a knife. Now aren't you gonna make the cut to save a life.
Yet start a war inside these walls.
We were both lovers and more, trading our secrets on the dance floor,
but I crossed the line and...
Oh can't you see. My heart is beating like a drum.
And don't you want to know Where is goes to sleep.
Oh behind those crystal eyes I see.
And Lord you speak, but I find myself having a hard time listening to you.
Here's a stone. Now aren't you gonna make it fly and
strike me down to end the war inside these walls
You were there to hold out your hand.
Let the rock drop down to the sand. Though i crossed the line.
Oh can't you see. My heart is beating like a drum.
And don't you wanna know that you are everything to me?

The Art, My Love
05:28
|
|||
|
Now we know how to grow apart. As if an art, yet none decide
Now the mastepeice is on display and the gallery is full. oh, it may be an unpleasant thing
Let's bring it out into the light. No need to hide it from the eyes of night.
You don't need to act so tough. I know you're giving up.
Now please be careful my love with that loaded gun. The trigger's light.
When your bullet flies into my chest it leaves an awful wound, fatal at best,
and i need healing.
If you're walking in the pouring rain don't hesitate to call my name.
I won't let you go and leave you alone

Hold On
03:55
|
|||
|
Do hold on to sanity, with ease it may appear.
But life is full of consequence each passing year by year.
When you look at me that way.
It's ever so slightly demeaning
you know you gotta) hold on to the light within the setting sun.
Because we are gonna need it now before the night is done.
Do stay your profanity, uncouth, it always jeers.
Life may bring calamity each passing year by year.
when you speak to me that way.
It's ever so slightly demeaning.
Dry those salty eyes. We're know'n that you'll never compromise

Old Bones
03:29
|
|||
|
On a distant shoreline veiled in shadow there's a hidden place
Impressing virtue in those who reside in this fold of grace
No More hiding what's inside as we run in this light
and the warming breeze running through the trees and carries on to night
Eh! I'll give you something to believe in
Eh! No more smoke and mirrors deceiving
Old bones I feel them down inside
Old man I think it's time you died... and made way for the new day. For a new way.
See the moonlight through the shadow as we sing our song
Fast approaching daybreak rising, no it won't be long

Dying
01:46
|
|||
|
We're just dying to see you coming down. It gets so cold before the dawn.
We're dying to see you. Don't be long. We echo on our song.
Broken hearts and broken dreams. I've bled so many times there's nothing left to bleed.
Everything I strive for is swept far out to sea.
Oh my soul is broken and cold. You are my hope when it sinks like a stone.
