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 03:36
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 05:15
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

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

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

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)
