Winter's Sun 07:19
Wind blows though the leaves of grey Calm breeze on a winters day Frozen lake keeps out the light Of a sun so cold but yet so bright Lonely people wonder on Towards a sea of white and grey Their heads held towards the sky It's bright blue and clear as glass They can't seem to hold their gaze The sun blurs and fades away The sky falls onto the trees And it all moves away from them The trees rose above the ground Reborn from ashes old The sky flew back to the stars To seal in the freezing air The sun flashed above the clouds A lit candle in the sky It lights up the scenery Valley low, and mountain high The snow melts into the ground The grass grows from dust and earth The people turn around to see The cold sun begin to speak (The rest is improvised )

Andromeda 05:04
Staring upward to the sky I pray that she'll fix her healing eye Upon me and help someone like I Someone she never has known And though you do not renew One for all but not for you And now you cry out for you Sacred night is ripe with power I worsen with each passing hour The fruit she once knew, dead and sour No longer exists, I insist And though you do not renew One for all but not for you And now you cry out for you And though you do not renew One for all but not for you And now you cry out for you

Sleepless 04:52
Today I forgot to breathe Or open my eyes Today And yet I could feel My skin Unravel Like roots From dirt Just let them Stab me Once more I'll keep them Alive Today

Vignette 02:31
I know you're here Too far away for me to see I heard your voice Soft whispers float on air so free The trees Blue is the lake Cold as the broken hearts you take Sleeping around Chasing the thrill you have not found It's true The lights have shown a better side of you It won't be long before they see right through Your looks and charm, they make a better you

A calm state of solitude arrives The muffled light will send myself to sleep Head on glass, I feel my body slip Suddenly I see through covered eyes Oh memories So dreamlike Silk moonlight It fades away when the air gets dry Fading fast Before Before my head The space Between the Along the fifth highway Arriving home I feel a slight relief Temporary slip of conscious me Evening's turned to morning so quickly I've got nothing to do, so I just sleep Oh memories So dreamlike Silk moonlight It fades away when the sound gets raw Fading fast Before Before my head The space Between the Along the fifth highway

There's a book With all the times They mused me Something about The way it read Confused me Looking back I try to see It's clouded Like Midas touch It turns to gold The Bounded ones Where did the guardian go wrong We were only out to hunt the headstrong Then he grabbed and took a hold of perception Obey His every word Our leader Blindly and quietly We changed Our demeanour In the woods He led us to Salvation Perform The ritual His coronation Where did the guardian go wrong Friendly lies will hypnotize the headstrong When did our minds part from question How were we coaxed into deception

Part 3 04:38
See his eyes bleed A blueish haze Fodder to His surreal daze In the last light From the setting sun Comes the burden Born to all but one See the old sun Burning everyone Reminds him Of his isolation Reaps the weak mind Of all it's own Soon you'll moan His subconscious drone And tired teachings Have turned the tide I'll see you all now On the other side So just look forward And know your whims He sinks for us now So we can swim

And i can Feel the weight Of the world come down on me It takes so long to breathe When your heart falls out of time It ain't easy now you know I will follow you Leaving us behind Going to And sleep is All I need But I'd rather stay awake Try not to Think about All the things that worry you But it's easy now I know Still I worry Leave it all behind Going to Write A heartfelt song About things In your life Force it out Oh yeah It never will come naturally To me
