The Sun and Moon, had their parts to play
The Sun warming the bright spring day
And the moon with her cycles and tides
While her rightful importance went unnoticed by most
The Sun was worshiped for his skies
He grew an ego larger than any star before
And shortened the winter night till the snows came no more
The Moon did her waiting and quietly and sure
On the first full light of winter she gathered all her strength
And with the power of the skies and the stars and the sea
She cast him down to earth to leave him mortal as the sun could be
She took on his burden as well as her own
Now Nora herself warms the spring by day
And so the nights now have dimmed
And the suns glow is weakened
The harsh light from the ego of Soren’s celestial fire
Now a perpetual sunset as her grasp is weak
She’s tired, our mother, she’s no time to sleep
As the mortal Sun king sits upon his throne of deceit

No Trace

I’ve got-a one in the chamber
Two in my hand
I’m gonna rule this land just the same
As before
With our fists to the sky
You will hear our battle cry
As we sing our way
Right to your door
So get your locks on
When we come with haste
And leave not a trace
Behind
If the world is just a playground
For your simple mortal soul
And the moon is just a lamp
To light your way
And all the trees have withered leaves
And the hills all roll with ease
In no mans land
Then the devil is just a man

Don’t you sing, sing, sing for me
Sing for my earthly scars
‘Cause I’ll be up with the sun and moon
Dancing with the stars
You would be the one to tell me
I’m not alone again
To have somebody by my side
To make me alive, alive
The scars upon the backs of those
Who carry the burdens we wash away
In the river beyond the hills we roam
To keep our sins at bay
Read hair, summer dress
Beneath the full moonlight
My only friend, my dearest end
To the lonely dark of night
Keep me in your sight
Tell me it will be alright
I can only ever fight
The way they call to you
Don’t you go to them
Their eyes are filled with sin
Look within and tell me how to
Find my way home
I wanna run away
From the things they make you do
With daddy’s gun and a kick in their step
They’ll make you a killer too
My lifelong friend
A gift to defend
My quiet days
After she left me to the wolves
Your malice and your pride
Could mistake you for the lord
The devil in your eyes
Does what he will with the bored
I almost want to love you
To put it all behind
But the voices from the trees
Wish me to force you to your knees
The cloak I bear with a stag head crown
My steps like thunder as they hit the ground
Hidden in the night in the shadows grasp
I will not fall alone
I’m counting on your gun
At the ready, pull the trigger
End it all for me but for you
Its only just begun
Seeing the wrong that had been done
She ran to his side
And these were the words he spoke
Just before he died

Nightingale

I only want to feel your love
But I am scared to feel
If only we knew
What to do with the time we have
I never want to change your mind
About the way you think of me
Despite all the uncertainty
Carelessly, drifting out to sea
Please tell me everything will
Be alright, when we fall asleep
And we will fall, and make sense of it all
The sun goes down, we breathe in the sound
And we will fly, and awake her sky
I never want to feel alone, again
I hear that you’re my friend
And that we will love
To the stories end
When will the mountain sing our song, to the sea
So that we could be
One with the world
And forever free
Please tell me everything will
Be alright, when we sleep at night
And we will fall, and make sense of it all
The sun goes down, we breathe in the sound
And we will fly, and awake her sky
Please tell me everything will
Be alright, when the curtain rise
The crowd will break, and the lights will fade
Though it’s not the end, and as you will see
This part was made for you and me

Yarn & Mirror
04:36

It’s almost to late to see the clouds
As the last halo of dusk is tucked away
I won’t close my eyes till I’m gone
And the mirror shows the world who is wrong
The angels tell me to hide away
Before his wrath will end the the light we call day
The devil can only ever meet me half way
As the yarn that holds us together begins to fray
Our troubles can make our souls turn grey
And the world can take everyone you love away
I just can’t find the strength to stay
So forgive me for I’ve been lead astray
Our thoughts can make our eyes portray
The world taking everyone you love away
Darling please, find the strength to stay
Forgive for how long I’ve been away

When I'm Gone
02:49

Sleep gently don’t worry
I will be here for you
And in the morning
The birds will sing
When I’m gone
When I’m gone
When I’m gone
When I’m gone
I won’t be long darling
Sing till I’m home
The mornings are hardest
When spent alone
And you’re gone
You’re gone
You’re gone
You’re gone
Somedays remind me of
Times when I’m near you
I would recall all the time
I could hear
Your song
Your song
Your song
Your song

Eyes on the prize
Hear the fires in the distance
Horizon lights
Hide your fear from her eyes
Call the storm
For to hinder the embers
Violent words
Call the rain from the skies
Eyes on the prize
Hear the fires in the distance
Horizon lights
Hide your fear from her eyes
Call the storm
For to hinder the embers
Violent words
Call the rain from the skies

Whisper
03:48

Don’t you bow to me
I know the words you speak
Will bring me to my knees
The only god I see
Is the sun above me
The body of land below my feet
Sing to me oh wretched soul
I don’t need your heart to beat
Sing to me oh wretched soul
I don’t need your lungs to breathe
Don’t you cry to me
I know the tears you weep
Will only fall for them
The only home you see
Is the wide open sea
That will be your fitful end
Sing to me oh wretched soul
I don’t need your heart to beat
Sing to me oh wretched soul
I don’t need your lungs to breathe

Shattered Bones
05:57

I just want the answers
To the questions that keep me up till dawn (till dawn)
I can’t quite remember
Without you, it’s been so long (so long)
We were never meant be
You never needed me
Like I needed you
I needed You
Take
Me home
(I’ll never run away)
Shatter
These bones
(I can’t seem seem to stay)
Despite all my tears
You gave me no fear
I will keep on moving on
Towards the light
We could never make it through
The time I spent with you is all I have
To remember
Remember
Take
Me home
(I’ll never run away)
Shatter
These bones
(I can’t seem seem to stay)
