Revelations 08:12
Here comes the moon again Our seeds are scattered to the wind All the cows have fallen down But I will stay here 'til the end You never wanted to believe Your memories could be replaced Now all your fears have been relieved And all the years have been erased You've proved to everyone You are the master of your pain But you will see a morning soon When tears will come to drown the rain I've wandered endlessly Searching for your castle by the sea My stars deserted me So I imagined I was free Now seven mornings from today The river will decide my fate This wind will carry me away My remedy arrived too late I am converted now My arrow broken on the floor Now there is no one left to blame I let my doom in by the door Let all the children come and see What remains for us to be Their twisted pattern is revealed Just before the door is sealed I hear the maddening refrain: 'No one may remain'

I was standing on the wall Staring out across the sea of grass I remember when you rose From the ruins of the palaces of glass Lo, lo, lo! When the rains came And the ruin reigned Chalices of lead Pour the wine before you go to bed Lo, lo, lo! We were never meant to be here A fire from the day you were born Light a candle in the chapel if you can Tomorrow we will ride Lo, lo lo! Where will you go? The star you follow falls into the snow A field of rotting wheat The earth has turned to sand beneath our feet

Adventures 05:52
I was crawling through the desert with a mouth full of sand When the cool clear water poured right into my hands I thought that I could hold it but I held on too tight And it ran between my fingers and burned up in the light I know I've been here before This road brought me right back to my own front door In the end 'Til the cycle starts again When you go into the forest and the mist comes in You forget where you started and everywhere you've been Soon you forget what your name used to be And everywhere you look you see nothing but trees Then the spiders come down and they get you in their webs 'Til you're wrapped up tight so you might as well be dead Then the skeletons all come up out of the ground And their bones piling up it's a terrible sound It's the end Then the cycle starts again Down in the underworld time gets weird You go down there for a week you might be gone six years And all the dark shadows in the corners of your mind Are standing right in front of you and sneaking up behind I feel like I've been lost down here so long I may never get back home

Prayer 05:54
Face to the ground Palms to the sky I give my life into thy hands Look on me kindly once more And show me not thy rage I am a desperate man I'll do what I must do Oh let me hear thy voice Oh let me be thy hand Love that destroys Lend me your eyes Let me wield thy flaming sword Even the blood of my heart Can only do thy will Hundreds and thousands I've seen you mow them down like the corn Here in thy season of death My life can now be born Wolf in the wood Ox in the field Where is the place for one like me? Wandering endlessly here Beneath the circling stars Only in service to thee my heart will find its home No sweet companion on earth Can shield me from the wind

Grief Song 05:00
Days are falling down like raindrops Time is running down my face Years are piling up around me Time has buried me in place How can I explain The fire in my heart Is burning me alive How long must I wait For my doom to arrive
6.
One day I will rest When my struggle here will be done Leave my armor to rust And let my bones turn white in the sun Oh how I've longed for that day Broken crushed and weary Why must I wear this mask of clay When will you release me
