The Way You Call
02:39
|
|||
The way you call, as if I don't already know
The morning sun can share a cup with this child
The way you call and shed a tear with my own
And though it's far when I believe it's like Home, Home
And in the heavens there's a fire returning my friend
Melting away the ruin of another age
We cried at the Lion and swam against the stream
To flow like water and lay down in peace
Hear my prayer, remember it when I am gone
The way you call, as if I don't already know
The morning sun can share a cup with this child
The way you call and never leave me alone
And though it's far when I believe it's like Home, Home
And in the heavens there's a fire returning my friend
Melting away the ruin of another age
We cried at the Lion and swam against the stream
To flow like water and lay down in peace
Hear my prayer, remember it when I am gone.

Say Yes
04:12
|

I put my head into the sand
I didn't wanna see the ghost no more
It came unannounced and burned in my mind
Now I'm afraid of what I'll think of next
And if I keep my head submerged under the ground
Then maybe it's already gone
But no matter how far I bury myself, I can still hear a voice, I hear it say
When you see with your new eyes
You’ll know the old with a new mind
What a beautiful morning
Free your chemical warfare
I do believe that that’s how it’ll be
Rise from your grave, as if out of a dream
You will be the one escaping through the fire, excavating me
Say Yes, Say Yes
I took my head out of the sand
And put it right into the Lion's jaws
He carried me in his mouth to a stream of rushing water
And told me to swim across
I told him I didn't know how to swim,
And he said, "There's no other way, and there's no other stream"
And he said, "There's no other way, and there's no other stream”
Say Yes, Say Yes
When you see with your new eyes
You’ll know the old with a new mind
What a beautiful morning
Free your chemical warfare
I do believe that that’s how it’ll be
Rise from your grave, as if out of a dream
You will be the one escaping through the fire, excavating me
Say Yes
Say Yes to the fear
And Yes to the trembling
Yes to the lifting up your eyes to see
Say Yes, Say Yes
You will be the one escaping through the fire, excavating me.

If I Mean When
04:21
|
|||
I'm just being realistic, I'm not hoping for a cure
Soon there'll be no time to laugh away our sorrows anymore
There'll be nothing else to live for if we're fighting to survive
I say if, I mean when
I'm just being realistic, I'm not hoping for a cure
Soon there'll be no time to laugh away our sorrows anymore
There'll be nothing else to live for if we're fighting to survive
I say if, I mean when
I say if, I mean when
I say if, I mean when
I say if, I mean when
There's a buzzing up above me and I don't think it's a bee
I'd like to know what it is there for but then again it's only me
Someone says they fucked up good this time and left behind a clue
But it's recently outdated, then again, what else is new?
I say if, I mean when
I say if, I mean when
I say if, I mean when
And I swear we clung to every word, believing it was true
But it's recently outdated, then again now so are you
So are you, you
I say if, I mean when
I say if, I mean when
I say if, I say if,
I say if, I mean when
I say if, I mean when
I say if, I mean when
I say if, I mean when
I say if, I mean when.

Rivermen
06:35
|
|||
When the sun sets
When the rain falls
When the clouds roll right in
When the gravel crunches beneath your shoes
And the streetlights they come on
I will be there
God willing, I'll be there
I will be there
When the gravel crunches beneath your shoes
God willing
When the trees dance
When the waters crash
When the dog dies, I'll be there
To call out
To fall down
To get the hell back up
I'll be the Riverman
I'll be the Riverman
I'll be the Riverman
When the moment is never ever right
God willing, I'll be there
When your mind fevers
When your soul is broken
When your skin is open to the air
When the snowman is strong
When the snakes are singing
When the loneliness drifts in
I'll be there
God willing, I'll be there
To walk through the flame
And pick up the heaviest weight
When your mother comes in from the rain
And the moment is never ever right
I'll be the Riverman
I'll be the Riverman
I'll be the Riverman
When it's your turn, Kiss your mother’s head
Warm yourself in the river
I was there
We'll be the Rivermen.

Came at a Loss
04:19
|
|||
One more then I'm done forever
One more then I'm out
Tomorrow I'm starting over
Tomorrow I sort it out
Sit back and enjoy this moment
Sit back and relax
Tomorrow it'll all be different
Tomorrow I clean up my act
Yet I can't help but notice
How could I be so misunderstood?
It came at a loss
Am I the only one who noticed the cost?
I've been here before
It came at a loss
I used up all our firewood to carry this cross
One more then I'm done forever
One more then I'm out
Tomorrow I'm starting over
Tomorrow I sort it out
Yet I can't help complaining
How much it's changing who we were
It came at a loss
Am I the only one who still thinks of us the way we were?
It came at a loss
I traded in my only love for somebody lost
And it came at a loss
And it came at a loss
Everything that I did
And everything I didn't do
It came at a loss
When I turned the page, it came at a loss
And when I stepped into that role, it came at a loss
And everything I did, it came at a loss
And everything I didn't do, it came at a loss
And it came at a loss
And it came at a loss
Everything that I did
And everything I didn't do
It came at a loss
Now I'm awake for the sun, But I still dream of the moon.

Sinking Ship
03:17
|
|||
Here am I
Young man zero in his shell
Soon will be the rise of your goodbyes
Will my name be changed to yesterday?
The long time is on
Funny how I turned here after all
Here am I
On a sinking ship
Of old enemies
Still wondering how it all went wrong
And I wink and blink and nod
At a better day
Still wandering 'round that old front door
'Round that old front door, 'round that old front door
'Round that old front door, 'round that old front door
Here am I
Young man zero in his shell
Soon will be the rise of your goodbyes
Will my name be changed to yesterday?
The long time is on
Funny how I turned here after all
Here am I
On a sinking ship
Of old enemies
Still wondering how it all went wrong
And I wink and blink and nod
At a better day
Still wandering 'round that old front door
'Round that old front door, 'round that old front door
'Round that old front door, 'round that old front door.

Creature
27:45

|

Call me the pulse and I will fill your veins
Turn with me, stay with me, rich in my blood
Against any reason other than I may fill you again
Cast me in stone and I will weigh you down
Knuckles white, carry on
Resigned to wander, without any longing other than
I may flow through you again
Unwinding of the thread
The needle of the curtain
The hour of the glass
The forest of amorphous
All your creatures long for the new creation
Where boundaries of death are ever failing
Cast me in stone and I will weigh you down
Knuckles white, carry on
Resigned to wander, without any longing other than
I may flow through you again
Call me the pulse and I will fill your veins
Call me the pulse and I will fill your veins
Call me the pulse and I will fill your veins
Call me the pulse and I will fill your veins.
How
How long
In the dark?
I close my eyes
I hear that noise
How long have I heard that knocking?
How long have I heard that knocking?
How long have I heard that knocking?
How long have I heard that knocking?
Do you dare enter this place?
You wanna meet the devil face to face?
Do you hear what I hear now?
Well these fucks laugh at everything
Hey hey hey, No mercy
They're screaming ‘til their throats are ripped and raw
They're screaming in the name of God
But these fucks laugh at everything
No mercy in this place
Somebody needs to put them down
Like a wounded animal out of their misery
Hey hey hey
No mercy in this place
Somebody needs to put them down
Like a wounded animal out of their misery
Hey hey hey, what do you say?
You wanna meet the devil face to face?
You wanna watch your show about the living dead
well I can introduce you myself
Do you dare enter this place?
You wanna meet the devil face to face?
Do you hear what I hear now?
Well these fucks laugh at everything
No mercy
They're screaming ’til their throats are ripped and raw
They're screaming in the name of God
But these fucks laugh at everything
I'm just being realistic, I'm not hoping for a cure
Soon there'll be no time to laugh away our sorrows anymore
No time to flow like water or lay down in peace.
The Chime of the Age of Gold has called all creatures bold
The seeds in the water have burst
The tentacles reaching out
Arm after arm after arm
Each one a different dance
No longer wound like a thread
They reach for a beckoning stream
Now they flow through it again...
If the time of my age has come
If you’ll call this creature home
If I learn to lift up my eyes
Or If the When tells the Why
If you’ll flow through me again
I say if, I mean when
I say if, I mean when
All will be revealed
All will see the wisdom
All will be restored
All will know forgiveness
All your creatures long for the new creation
Where boundaries of death are ever failing
All your creatures long for the new creation
Where boundaries of death are ever failing
The way you call, as if I don't already know
The morning sun can share a cup with this child
The way you call and shed a tear with my own
And though it's far when I believe it's like Home, Home
And in the heavens there's a fire returning my friend
Melting away the ruin of another age
We cried at the Lion and swam against the stream
To flow like water and lay down in peace
Hear my prayer, remember it when I am gone.
