Dragonfly,
You look so mean.
Ten days of flooding,
To come out clean.
We're supposed to follow you,
Into the light.
When you're stuck in a corner,
Holding court with your single-file mind.
Testify,
To the eight-sided star,
If it makes you feel whole again,
Before it tears you apart.
It must be some kind of tragedy,
To fall apart like you do.
When a stiff breeze from anywhere,
Will mesmerize and redirect you.
It must be some kind of tragedy.

The Cost
03:18
|

|
So good, so good to see,
You finally back up and on your feet.
Watch out, the enemy is within you,
As we speak.
And here you come begging me for a taste,
When you don't even know the time or the place.
You'll have to do better than shaking a cage.
We can see you coming a light year away.
Ride out on the dog you came in on,
That is if you don't need to catch your breath.
Don't you know I can come and go as I please,
At the cost of this body.
And here you come begging me for a taste,
When you don't even know the time or the place.
You'll have to do better than shaking a cage.
We can see you coming a light year away.

No Surrender
04:56
|
|||
|
Round up the least of you willing to follow mine,
Feel for the light, gift that I give. Sight.
Wring, wring dry the neck,
Every last ounce,
Of life they had left,
Before falling.
Go past the point of contention,
Trade control.
Fixate on the last that you knew,
I'll ease the burden, I'll make it go away.
Wring, wring dry the necks,
Every last ounce,
Of life they had left,
Before falling.
Don't make another mistake,
There's no surrender.
Cracks in the foundation,
Leaking through to the core.
Amplified by a reason to doubt,
Anybody could make it out alive.
Wring, wring dry the neck,
Every last ounce,
Of life they had left,
Before falling.
Don't make another mistake,
There's no surrender.
Dig in by your fingernails,
Waiting for me to let you go.

Polestar
05:28
|
|||
|
She's all over it,
My ethereal side.
Vapors and moonbeams,
Escort her in to light up the sky.
She's my polestar,
Constantly still, halcyon.
The reason that I'm always looking up.
The world spins me,
As the cosmos dance around her.
She's all over it.

Legacy
07:06
|
|||
|
Set to let go the last of my faculties,
I'd never felt such control.
Legacy drifts on the blood of my enemies,
Now it runs through me, yeah it's running through me.
Cause you forced my hand,
When I vowed to never again.
I reach for the back of what feels like a memory,
Where time has a right to stand still.
A message repeats from a voice that keeps telling me,
You'll never do better, I used to be better.
So I fight my mind,
Eyes off the crosshair.
Cause you forced my hand,
When I vowed to never again.

Oblivion
03:53
|
|||
|
Here I lay,
Atop the scorched Earth,
Smoldering,
Smoldering.
As I draw my final breath,
The clouds retreat,
The clouds retreat.
One last relief,
A gentle rain upon my face.
From the sea.
And I can hear her reaching out,
with the mercy of a tidal.
I start to fade,
Familiar as this is,
It cannot be,
It cannot be.
Above the field,
I steal away,
To chase the clouds into oblivion,
Into oblivion.

False Light
04:17
|
|||
|
Reckless in a frozen youth,
You're showing the lines of compromise.
Endlessly on the lookout for the next sign.
Of trouble from the outside,
Never from within,
Afraid of what you might find.
Something else caught the lookout,
Til the next time.
Well I wanted someone to believe,
And there you were waiting,
In the darkest corner of my mind.
You asked for a token of illumination,
I'd already given,
Now it's just a falselight.
Fading fast.
Shaken on a lightless plane,
You're holding the relay, shuffling.
Bags of sand, compound together,
For the first sign.
Of trouble on the inside,
Whirlwind, afraid of what's been brought in.
Tracing back every footprint,
Til the next sign.
Well I wanted someone to believe,
And there you were waiting,
In the darkest corner of my mind.
You asked for a token of illumination,
I'd already given,
Now it's just a falselight.
Fading fast.
It's not what you thought it was.
A glimmering, a shadow in the heart of a dying star.

Griffin

Griffin!
Through the hallowed halls of time he charts the course.
Griffin!
In a steady claw he holds the universe!
Griffin!
Atop his shoulders rides a true hero!
Griffin!
His origins were never ours to know.
The reigns of history, lie in his hands...
And those of the GRIFFIN!
Griffin!
Soar between the bounds of evil's reach.
Griffin!
'Neath your wings lies shelter for the weak!
Griffin!
Bend the laws of physics til they break!
Griffin!
Only you can show us what's at stake!
The reigns of history,
Lie in your hands!

Wasteland
03:58
|
|||
|
Gone are the days when I had an excuse.
Plenty of ways I could tie my own noose.
Hangman,
Steady as time passing by.
With a stayed hand that reaches forever.
Now we're repeating the errors of the past.
To think we've been leading the wind to the mast.
Wasteland.
Ravaged from time passing by.
With a stayed hand that goes on forever.
Side-step the rubble that sits in my way.
Worship the footprints my body has paid.
Wasteland.
Ravaged from time passing by,
WIth a stayed hand that goes on forever.

Scavenger
04:05
|
|||
|
Scavenger, searching the earth.
Scanning the dust.
Turning up skeletons.
Swinging at shadows,
Chasing the wind.
In every direction.
You were right to fear for your life,
Again and again.
Traveler, open your ears.
Swallow your pride,
Sense your entrapment.
Never say you’ve abandoned your charge.
You were right to fear for your life.
Again and again,
Again and again.

Eclipse
02:54
|
|||
|
Is there any coming back,
Once the dust is settling.
Choking on the powder in the air.
Stuck behind a rock,
That casts it's cover everywhere.
Living in the shadows of the shade.
In the shadows,
Is where my mind belongs.
I'll take my chances there.
We've been waiting a long, long time,
Waiting for this eclipse to end.
We've been riding a fine, fine line,
Riding towards...
Front and center for the spotlight,
Target, point and execute.
Moving toward the edges of the black.
Crushing boulders and stepping to the boundaries,
All that's open bares a mark.
In the open,
There's nowhere left to hide.
I'll take my chances there.
We've been waiting a long, long time.
Waiting for this eclipse to end.
We've been riding a fine, fine line,
Riding toward...

Enemies in the Sky
04:28
|
|||
|
Lightning from above!
In a prehistoric rage.
An angry winged terror,
Has emerged from iron cage.
With fury dripping from its tattered wings,
Suspended lifeless in the air.
Come and face the wicked beast,
With its vengeful fiery glare.
Challenge nature in its highest form,
Draw your mighty crossbow and snare.
Confront the demon before you and within,
Accept the noble task if you dare.
Enemies in the sky!
Enemies in the sky!
Confusion is abundant,
As the panicked masses flee.
The scattered shards of order,
Lie in tranquil reverie.
Thunderclouds erupting as the heavens start to cry,
Raining down the acid tears as those below them die.
The hour is approaching,
For twilight to be gone.
Pestilence embodied in a swift and cunning muse,
Destiny is at a point to bare.
Scour quick the earth for any tool that can be used,
To manipulate the madness in the air!
Enemies in the sky!
Enemies in the sky!
Enemies in the sky!
ENEMIES IN THE SKY!!

Nail in a Coffin
03:23
|
|||
|
A drop in the bucket,
Is all I see in your eyes.
And it's not enough to make,
Any difference.
And I know this know,
That all the hope,
And dreams in the world.
Are worth just a little bit less,
Than a nail for a coffin,
That I'd strike with my own hands.
If it would seal the evil,
So you would never know.
A shout in a thunderstorm,
Swallowed up by the sound,
Of a ticking clock.
That's choking numbers.
And I feel this now,
That all the rule,
And law in the world,
Is worth just a little bit less,
Than a nail for coffin,
That I'd strike with my bare hands.
If it would seal the evil,
So you would never know.
So you would never know.
