- Track Name: Battles
-
what day finds it true
to be what it always knew
in youthful age and wonder
all mysteries unproved
internecine battles
fought further inside
the rumble and rattle
from which we hide
what day finds it true
to forgive and begin anew
with aged eyes, atavistic heart
fain to relive, fain to restart
incomplete battles
further fears arise
the prize and prattle
from which we hide
what days finds it true
in the vagaries of what we knew
to complete itself with pride
to live before we die
beatific battles
motile as we are two
this love does addle
but we continue - Track Name: Gladstone
-
You call it a gift
The ways that I remember
You don't have to miss me
'Cause now we're together
You won't understand
What I'm about to give
You won't understand
But now you've got someone to blame
Nothing's forever anymore
The river flows evermore
Time won't stand between
The places I want to be
You won't understand
What I'm about to give
You won't understand
But now you've got someone to blame
It happened out in the open
The breeze runnin' through my hair
The defenses now are broken
For freedom, my life ends here - Track Name: Filling the Mold
-
a less cynical ground
fresh with new earth
a more natural sound
hearty but dearth
a soft feel underfoot
fresh soil for journeys
for the path you must look
but you needn't hurry
and what of the concrete
and markets for gold
what of the falseness
of filling the mold
what of the numbers
yeah what about that gold
has it all gone asunder
am I new or am I old
a less natural ground
covered up the earth
a more cynical sound
disguised as mirth
what's not understood
is faked and hurried
it's not a path it's a hook
into a life that's lurid
and what of the concrete
and markets for gold
what of the falseness
of filling the mold
what of the numbers
yeah what about that gold
has it all gone asunder
am I new or am I old - Track Name: Settle the Score
-
in the absent, longing for a better truth
weighted down with innocent youth
I wake alone before the judgements pyre
to feel warmed by the eternal damned fire
We walked alone through soulless rooms
Backed upon another. Endless tombs
With what wont we wait and waste
She stirs up fears and steers our haste
(It'll all be erased)
Hope in me found before time ran out
Stops me now but leaves a doubt
I've wandered below and gone mad about
leaving my home with questionable route
two and two times, but not enough
I pack my suitcase for another bluff
Walk with me now for a minute more
and betray the purpose we're here for
(to settle the score)
Change in my being for a life of believing
in water and blood and timeless deceiving
I can't go on now, I can't be anyhow
Where there's hope, there's always doubt
can you let go of this heavenly scowl
myrmidons just hold you down
without regret you go amain
to find the light and leave this pain
(it's never the same)
(you'll never awake) - Track Name: Long Gone Days
-
I'm trading my pain
for a sense of relief
now that it's over
I'm taking my time
to sort it in my mind
what I've discovered
Now that you've left me again
we see in the end
that we're better off for it
No, I'm not trying to mend
just remembering when
you sang your song to me
Long gone days
So far away
Take me away
I always left you your pride
never forced open your eyes
we both always knew it
I traded raging on you
for my own solitude
we never talked about it
Now that you've left me again
we see in the end
that we're better off for it
No, I'm not trying to mend
just remembering when
your song could set me free
Long gone days
So far away
Take me away
I won't apologize
for the ways of my life
We had to endure it
I won't liberate
you from your fate
You'll die with it
Long gone days
So far away
Take me away - Track Name: A Country With Eyes
-
In the longest winter of my life
spent in a land rolling flat and bare
The beaten earth kept in disguise
sweet mystery and love in the air
Each day it gave me questions
like how long will it take
to forgive my demons
and accept my fate
In the most barren country of eyes
feet padding gently upon the earth
Once ruled by giants my size
I feel like I've known it since birth
Each day it gives me questions
like how well do you know
the life that's inside
that wants to grow
Now it's almost over
Where can I run from here
There's no shade for cover
and the sun is growing near
Each day it gave me questions
like how long will it take
to forgive my demons
and accept my fate
Each day it gives me questions
like how well do you know
the life that's inside
that wants to grow
