Bare
04:04
|

The boardwalks have all flooded
boats thrown up on the shore
And soft candles mark the twilight
And our heart is burning still
In the city of darkness
In the city of gold
We all saw the floodtide coming
in our Harbor and our bays
We took a train through the Lowlands
canals scarring the fields
Old Amsterdam came a'calling
and took us in the night
The wandering starlette
addict to her dreams
gone by the morning
married to the sun
She loves the 3-minute lovesong
emerging from the foam
carrying her sorrow
All will be forgiven!
All will be forgiven!

Carbon
02:14
|

Smoke released to sky
ashes in the rain
Years of all creation
floated on wasted nights
Lapping up the evening
standing on the shore
We're all dust upon the water
puddles and the lakes
We'll all align our carbon
We'll all alight the sky
Lapping up the evening
standing on the shore.

Death of Time
02:59
|

Over in the corner -
ragged men hulk over their chess
Over in the middle -
children begin their summer
And underneath -
old German feet
Stamp in silence
Awaiting the death of time.

Liquid Crown
03:44
|
|||
Curses upon curses
Black juice pumping
black juice pumping
Playing on the head
thorny crown leaking
Tongue upon the mouth
Lips upon the tongue
Streaming under eyelids
Washing vision, acid
Blackening the teeth
Your liquid crown
Your liquid crown
Coating the throat down
to the chords
Your voice emerges
Poison perched upon your tongue
You seek the victim of your scorn
Mercy is denied!
Drown in my words.

Castaway Raft
05:58
|

Horizon bound
Castaway raft
Fleeting currents
Left for dead
Fading out
sun and salt
Along the line
where all time ends
And no, we won't, we won't forget
the very last time that we saw land
Sending up paper lanterns
Floating to the night
We sink down into
our deepest nature
|

6. |
||||
A year of weighted living
A ghost behind closed doors
The spirits downtown rising
Ireland and Africa,
I feel them rising
The towers and the headstones
Millions of tales untold
Centuries growing bolder
Steel and earth are so cold
I feel them rising

Martyrdom
03:49
|
|||
Shedding off the bad dreams for awile
Here we go, we're kicking back in style
Lift your angry vale
There are better ways to shed those tears
Find a place where we can stop awhile
Where the day can't find us
Oh the sky pours down
Oh the sky pours down
It's not martyrdom that cures the bleeding heart
when you're feeling frail
