Your Town 02:20
lyrics
buy track
Greet the man, coming into town He'll cause chaos all around He warns of death He warns of pain He needs to find a way to get the people listening He is a threat He is a terror They need to find a way to stop the people listening Death all around Consumes your town Better run now Get away now He makes his claims He makes his statements He wants to help the people run before its all too late They do not hear They will not listen They want to stop the coward's talking for to make him pay Death all around Consumes your town Better run now Get away now See how the flames rise from the ground See how the flames grow all around See how the flames destroy your town

It's Flying Through The Night 02:31
lyrics

It's flying through the night It's flying through the night It's shadow, it follows Cast by pale moonlight At the gravesite Lifting off Made from disaster Hidden thereafter Always keeps silent Roaming the woodland Sign of disaster Sign of confusion Ominous presence Omen of death Diving home now Racing away Made from disaster Hidden thereafter Always keeps silent Roaming the woodland Sign of disaster Sign of confusion Ominous presence Omen of death It's flying through the night It's flying through the night It's shadow, it follows Cast by pale moonlight It's seeing where you'll go It's seeing where you've been You squint your eyes, you look real close You think you see a grin It's flying through the night Flying through the night At the mineshaft In the reactor It's flying through the night It's flying through the night It's shadow, it follows Cast by pale moonlight It tracks you from the sky With its glowing crimson eyes Now there's no one else around And it's wings they make no sound Oh, It's flying through the night It's flying through the night Its eyes reflect the light As its massive wings take flight Yes, It's flying through the night It's flying through the night Your boots they shake with fright Because it's flying through the night

The Night 02:16
lyrics

Street lamps flicker on The night is still young People are out reveling Passing the shadows by Feel the wind blow Feel the chill creep in Sun goes down Moon comes out Shiver Be not afraid of the night Of the evils that lurk out of sight Nighttime settles in Around, all starts to spin Careful where you're headed Make it home alive Feel the wind blow Feel the chill creep in Sun goes down Moon comes out Shiver Be not afraid of the night Of the evils that lurk out of sight Thank heaven the crisis the danger is past And the lingering illness is over at last And the fever called living is conquered at last Yes the fever called living is conquered at last Sun goes down Moon comes out Shiver Be not afraid of the night Of the evils that lurk out of sight

lyrics

Words travel far Words stay for long He lied to me, gave it up The secret we had kept He lied to me, gave it up The secret we had kept Why would he do this to me I thought we had agreed No no no He lied to me, gave it up The secret we had kept He lied to me, gave it up The secret we had kept He wants us to walk and talk He wants to meet in the woods He lied to me, gave it up The secret we had kept He lied to me, gave it up The secret we had kept I bring the hammer down Oh I bring the hammer down The fall of the hammer rings out through the trees The hammer is red as the leaves I bring the hammer down Oh I bring the hammer down The fall of the hammer rings out through the trees The hammer is red as the leaves I bring the hammer down Oh I bring the hammer down The fall of the hammer rings out through the trees The hammer is red as the leaves I bring the hammer down Oh I bring the hammer down The fall of the hammer rings out through the trees The hammer is red as the leaves I bring the hammer down Oh I bring the hammer down

Kudzu 03:02
lyrics

On fertile ground We built our towns The march of progress stops for no one Say crumbling ruins of lands gone by We raise our hands Claim victory o'er the land The march of progress stops for no one Say crumbling ruins of lands gone by All the things you built for thee Will not last when brought to me You may try to fight my sea I am wild I am free Every building every tree What to do but turn and flee You may try to fight my sea I am wild I am free

The Ghost (Run Away) 02:10
lyrics
buy track
I heard a voice You heard a noise As we moved in It's just the wind Things are not right Everything's fine I see a figure It's just the glare What do you want Leave me alone Stop hurting us Please leave our home I need a board Come to the shore I need a mirror Come hear the birds chirp Movement I saw These thoughts are you all Up on the shelf You're not yourself What do you want Leave me alone What did you say I'm not safe at home The man takes a knife So used to taking life He will perform What spirits tried to warn Don't trust him, run away He'll kill you, run away He put us here Run away Don't trust him, run away He'll kill you, run away He put me here Run away

The Whalefall 05:38
lyrics

Down down down The whale falls down down down To the ground ground ground Down below And as I lay down on the floor My body too tired to take anymore I think of the past And the things that I saw And I wish I hadn't done it all Down down down The whale falls down down down To the ground ground ground Down below Where did my time go Where did my life go I'm caught in the middle of the clock on the wall I'm caught in the middle of it all Far in the distance In the deep blue sea There's a reef underwater Where a whale had been It's body lay dead On the bottom of the sea But that was the root For you and me Here at the the crossroads Here at the implode I'm standing at the point of no return I'm staring at my downturn Far in the distance In the deep blue sea There's a reef underwater Where a whale had been It's body lay dead At the bottom of the sea But that was the root For you and me Pick up all the pieces Won't you tear off all the memories It's a wonderful time to be a fish in the ocean It's a wonderful time to be a scavenger The whale lies downed It's a buffet for free Won't you take all the parts Of the things that you loved Won't you leave me here With my pride up above Far in the distance In the deep blue sea There's a reef underwater Where a whale had been It's body lay dead At the bottom of the sea But that was the root For you and me All alone here Won't you strip my life bare For here is the time To break down all of the bones For here is the life Splain out all on the floor Far in the distance In the deep blue sea There's a reef underwater Where a whale had been It's body lay dead At the bottom of the sea But that was the root For you and me Break it all down Go just tear it away It's time to collapse Till there's nothing else left It's time to move on Out the door, take the step Far in the distance In the deep blue sea There's a reef underwater Where a whale had been It's body lay dead At the bottom of the sea But that was the root For you and me Far in the distance In the deep blue sea There's a reef underwater Where a whale had been It's body lay dead At the bottom of the sea But that was the root For you and me From the ground we build up tall From the ground we build up tall From the ground we build up tall From the ground we build up tall From the ground we build up tall From the ground we build up tall From the ground we build up tall

Way Down 01:49
lyrics

All alone up in your tower Losing track of all the hours Throw a party Hide away Way down in the rich man's town They celebrate the hours away But still inside the gates The red death comes for thee Every room must have a color Decorations singular Gay parade Masquerade Way down in the rich man's town They celebrate the hours away But still inside the gates The red death comes for thee The clock strikes midnight The clock strikes midnight Way down in the rich man's town They celebrate the hours away But still inside the gates The red death comes for thee Way down in the rich man's town They celebrate the hours away But still inside the gates The red death comes for thee

Meditations 01:53
lyrics

All I hold so dear to me I must cast into doubt Don't know what to believe I have nothing I accept All I see but a dream Not a sense not suspect All that I hold sure, I'm still here Though I cannot trust my thoughts, I can think Though I cannot trust my senses, It means something Though my thoughts can be deceived, I still think them The trickster must have a victim, I exist I am but a thinking thing And I know of myself It is clear, I exist With my body I can't know It is clear, hear's the split Mind and form can't be one All that I hold sure, I'm still here Though I cannot trust my thoughts, I can think Though I cannot trust my senses, It means something Though my thoughts can be deceived, I still think them The trickster must have a victim, I exist If the mind is separate How can it affect the body If the mind is immaterial Gravity as an example doesn't hold The basic truth I see The mind's material All that I hold sure, I'm still here Though I cannot trust my thoughts, I can think Though I cannot trust my senses, It means something Though my thoughts can be deceived, I still think them The trickster must have a victim, I exist

Great Unknown 02:11

Lurking in the pit we dwell We keep the surface near, on our shelf Under us, a great unknown The darkness and the depths While we're here, we're safe alone What lies beyond is death One of us is brave each year They won't be seen again, we fear Under us, a great unknown The darkness and the depths While we're here, we're safe alone What lies beyond is death Swim down down Under us, a great unknown The darkness and the depths While we're here, we're safe alone What lies beyond is death Under us, a great unknown The darkness and the depths While we're here, we're safe alone What lies beyond is death

Ballad of the Trash Panda 02:32

The street is long dead, the stars in the sky Going alone the nimble grey guy Hunting for scraps the way to get by Dig through trash you little being free The world you see has all of your needs Dig through trash you little being true Wander on and know you're the raccoon Roaming about and searching for food They were told how to search for the clues Finding a meal is easy is to do Dig through trash you little being free The world you see has all of your needs Dig through trash you little being true Wander on and know you're the raccoon Scurry on x5 Scurry on through the wood x4 Dig through trash you little being free The world you see has all of your needs Dig through trash you little being true Wander on and know you're the raccoon

We must escape here, find our way out We must escape here, we must escape Void taking over, everything dies Void taking over everyone dies We must escape here, we must escape We must escape here we must escape Foraging, hunting, do what must be done Foraging, hunting, here we must survive Foraging, hunting, do what must be done Foraging, hunting, here we must survive Gently we get along here Carefully we survive Hide your face from all around here Hope to keep your grip on tight Careful of the void Careful of all the... Cannot run, cannot hide, here's where we are bound Cannot run, cannot hide, here's our fertile ground Cannot run, cannot hide, here's where we are bound Cannot run, cannot hide, here's our fertile ground Gently we get along here Carefully we survive Hide your face from all around here Hope to keep your grip on tight Careful of the void Careful of all the... Deep in the pit, she dwells Deep in the pit, she dwells Turned by the fires of hell O, deep in the pit, she dwells Careful of the void Careful of all the... For it is an unknown pit... A pit of despair... A pit of death... A pit of beauty... Beauty and despair For it is beauty and despair Beauty and despair Despair Despair Despair
