The Fire Horizon
04:03
|

I am the fire, the fire horizon where all of this shall end, where all of this shall end
I am the fire, the fire horizon where all of this shall end, where all of this shall end
I am the captain, I am the captain who has seen the southern skies, a plague that will
arise
I am the lion, I am the lion who will end all of the night, who will devour up the liar
You are a fire upon me, we will begin again
You are a fire upon me, we will begin again, refine all that’s within
You are a fire upon me, we will begin again, refine all that’s within, cause
I am a mountain, I am a mountain that shall stand against the tide, stand before all time
I am a mother, I am a mother hearing all her children die, I’ve heard their suffering cries
It’s suddenly quiet, it’s quiet it’s quiet
I am the Fire

The Mystic Carousel
03:59

My carousel has called for you. Desire a ride, do you say?
Shall you consign you to me? Lining up for a spin
It’s a glorious afternoon, for a haunting display
My dear dreamer, I dream that you, shall dance as your pay
You have no payment for my carousel, my mystic carousel, will you dance for a spin?
I do love it when you do, shall I see you inside?
Might be a fright to take it on, a crypt to torment a mind
When your soul has been forlorn, I will grace you with this
It’s a time you’ve never know, In a haunted bliss

The Ghost
03:41

Goodbye Wichita I’m heading back to my western home
I’m gonna ride on the passenger side and lean my head on the radio
I’m waiting for a sign from above or a rumble from down below.
Take a wheel and a grip of steel to see the sky kiss the coast
So lay me down, rest the ghost
so lay me down my sweet road
If I die now then I’ll die young
So lay me down rest the ghost
I feel a loss, I feel a loss, I'm yearning for a place I know (oh a place I know for us)
If I'm the ghost if I'm the ghost, come and feel my body's pulse (remind me of who I was)
We got the driver, we got the speed
We got the metal, we got the need
There's a city on the western coast
that harbors whom I love the most
You’ve had a long damn night,
You got a ghost inside

The Giant
03:16
|
|||
We feel the heights we’ve touched the depths, after all we have bested the best of them
We are soldiers arrayed as kings, we are mavericks we are legend propounding themes
Stand be brave, who’s the master race of Catalina Bay?
Don’t look now but there’s giants on your tail
Is there Albion in our sights, are there moons in a crescent are there cliffs of white?
We’ve a monolithic bite, we are boundless, we’re immense and to the seas we’ll stride

The Colors
03:39
|
|||
I see the colors of the buttons, that I’m sowing with a string
Indicative of a brightness in the lives these shades will bring
And with impoverished hands, I share a craft that makes you shine
I want to be like you
Look hard to my heart, Look hard to my heart
And every time I see your colors, I want to be like you
Look hard to my heart
I can’t just fall in line
I was built to shine
I have more meaning than to serve a man whose never seen my eyes
I will dream and I will glow
I’ll climb out from this debris
I must believe in what I sow
I must believe I will be free

The Sky Child
03:15

Sky child I bet you never knew that I was trying to find you
I think you were the best thing ever
The best thing to ever happen
Sky child your atmosphere ablation
saved our necks, oh boy
I bet you held your temper
when you saw the shadow
that we created
Somewhere ionospheres
Melt the glass of all the twilight mirrors
Sky child saw his zenith days
Outside time and space he floats away
Sky child sweet were the times and long ago, they seem
you must have gotten homesick
will you set off for dimensions
where people are happy?
Sky child, I'm going to cherish all of what you were, and you said
you gotta stay on the level
by knowing that in truth
no level exists
The stars implode and blind our gaze
they shower dust of broken golden rays
Sky child your time has come
Fade away

The Emperor
03:58
|
|||
Deep in time is the word of the name, Taste a true bloodsucker
Little boot yet a spark at the heel, To which armies will kneel
So cry aloud, So fall about
Make true my ark, Make bright my crown
A will to hate, A servile fear
None dare to say , None dare to hear, Caligula
Fear or solitude
So cry aloud, So fall about
Make true my ark, Make bright my crown
A will to hate, A servile fear
None dare to say , None dare to hear
To own the flesh of the mightiest men, To take to the storm's eye
Little luck for the safety of them, I’m your baby's war cry
I conversed with the deep underworld, I strode with devil’s hammer
A cryophilic bloodstream have I, And what shall I not claim?
Wage on War, wage on war, wage on war
So cry aloud, So fall about
Make true my ark, Make bright my crown
A will to hate, A servile fear
None dare to say , None dare to hear
It becomes us to die as we stand, To the motion of onslaught
Young fool only now at the end, do you understand

The Woman
03:50
|
|||
There is a version where we both were undone
There is an upright gaze we cannot outrun
What was the ember of your first foolish love
I think it’s nothing to take a sure note of
Amelia, I gave you up for the sunshine and a better light
Amelia, I gave you up cause I have love, but I’m losing time.
I thought you wiser than the unfolds of life
And a life for a life will soon be what’s right
Were that I were mine and I felt that pride
If I was everything I need
Amelia we were so distant in all things
May I conjure a breath, within a new desire
I just cannot cave within
I could take to the earth, Be enslaved and cursed
But I must love again

The Wolf
04:58
|
|||
Hold inside and raise the wall, wickedness has come on to pursue me
And all of them who stand will fall
The wolf has met me in the dark, he leads me to the grip of final hours
And i feel the howl, but I hold
Yahweh, come back to me, find me amidst my enemies
He’ll come back to me, he’ll come back to me
See what rains in rings above
Watch within your eyes of an astral thought, we become Gods
And howl with power to burst a cloud
A fire did spread in Israel, and a wolf still speak of the coming hell
Remove me
I feel his howl, but I hold
