Muddy Waters 05:02
I was born so long ago, do hardly remember it at all Born into a pit of mud, muddy water Refused to breathe the air, that’s all around Wanted to live without hearing another sound And that day I found that there was not a choice And that day I found it spinnin’ to the ground I was born again right here in her lies Its all just a rollin’ of the dice, And you know the price so buy it or leave it, Send or receive, I’m part of it and it is me and all that I can see And that day I found it trampled to the ground And all that I had left was a cat already dead in the head It was born again with its skull in my hand Sweat had bled to seas, that I sail to unveil What my mind can’t hold, will burst into fireworks So you can see the fire in the sky But at least at last I burn, at least at I burn Then that day you’ll find, there’s not much left of me What remains, when the absence of sound is leaving the ground

Skin 07:51
I'm the air between the people you can see through me I'd been waiting for salvation but still waitin here for thee So now I stand here already part of this town Always hummung with eyes closed and a bitter frown And you will wash all the skin off of yourself Until there's nothing left but your bones I'm the tears in all your eyes If you see through me the whole world blurs in your mind But is it meant to be? So now you stand here already part of my frown Ever more crying with your eyes closed to forget this town. And you will wash all the skin off of yourself Until there's nothing left but your bones

The joker's on the run and him reaching for the sun did make the court cry out 'How may he dare? That's doubt!' So now the joker smiles no more but laughing by the shore and in the spray he stands and hoists his sail and veils his grin, it's lovely sin Poseidons creatures squeak and sing The octopus wore eight all golden rings The joker broods and whistles a song His brains work hard and out comes a drone But slightly occurs an idea to him: 'The workers are drones, the joker's the queen.' And all of their questions, he'll answer them so: 'Oh, I am your answer, now enjoy the show!' And floating along he hauls something up A joke ever green and hopeful as sin: 'We live in a world in a paper cup!' And no one shall ever forget, who has seen that Poseidons creatures squeak and sing The octopus wore eight all golden rings The joker broods and whistles a song His brains work hard and out comes a drone [Instrumental Solo] But, alas! He was drifting too far to the edge and fell into nothing from the arms of existence So nothing that ever had crossed his mind will he ever be able to leave behind The joker's no more on the run for he has turned into the sun His last joke made the court grow still Isn't this life quite fun?

Cosmic Noise 03:59
And in the corner of my eye Cosmic noise holds a die A game to play it offers me But as I turn, it's gone, I'm released 'I'm free?' I ask to no one there And as I ask the will lies bare I shut my eyes and hope to be Captive on 1,2,3 But nothing happened so I stood Still wonder, what I could and I should But total emptiness drops in The ice a-startin to grow thin My holy freedom morphs to fear The nothing man bends down to hear But I have not a word to say Which scares me in a thousand ways So I just grab a pair of dice The eyes are me, the die decides The nothing ceases its effect I'm man, I'm free and I stand erect I'm slave in chains of chance at last It is what will be and what's passed The cosmic noise has hushed by now I stand confused and take a bow

Polarity 04:56
You and I, we're one and the same, just hold'n on to what…… keeps us in two. As Polarity, it tries. Take a look at a timeless exchange of what the water and the wave sink into…… As Polarity, it dives. Two unto, see and we'll dissolve completely. Two unto, three and we'll build a bridge through. Two unto, see, now we've dissolved completely. To undo two, can bring us through Dance around a circle twice, then bring your thought to it's edge. Draw another circle round. Can you begin to see, all of…what is… you and me. Rise and fall, ocean ebbs and flows... inside us all. You and I, we're one and the same, just hold'n on to what keeps us in two. As Polarity, it thrives. Take a look at what's timeless…it's change. Is there nothing more for us, to hold on to. As Polarity, it dies. Two unto, see and we'll dissolve completely. Two unto, three and we'll build a bridge through. Two unto, look now what we hold on too. To undo two can bring us through!

Selene 03:43
From the water rises her pale, blue secret smile And the watery veil is vanished with the tide The seamen howl their sad ole song And I play along Oh Selene, comfort me tonight Oh Selene, stay with me into the morning light On the waters edge the fish are jumpin' to the sky This extraordinary clear night runs a chill over the earth My ole lady soars in the sun 'most every night And the moon, she sits up high and smiles Oh Selene, comfort me tonight Oh Selene, stay with me into the morning light So now the morning comes And I cry for my little girl But when I look up, I see her pale soft eyes back in my world

The Wake 10:19
CHAPTER I: The Wake In my wake, in my wake See the water curl and break Open seas, all your ships wrecked at ease Hurry on to the end of time In my wake, in my cage Your planks all tremble and they shake Like a cat I lay death to your feet Take your gift and chew it up to the bone CHAPTER II: King of the Seven Seas / In the Blue I'm the lord of all the seven seas And every little rock and handful of sand you see belongs to me I got the world in my hands and I'll be drowning you all, so you shall rest here with me Remember what I said: It's all wrong Swim my son I'm awaiting you Now, dive into the blue In the blue it doesn't matter anymore Who you are today In the blue it doesn't matter anymore Who you were one day I'll take all your fault, I'll take all your shame Let me wash you with my salt Now, open your eyes a-new and feel no more shame Lock outside the world so cruel CHAPTER III: The Raging & the Calm / Chaos & Array - all instrumental - CHAPTER IV: The Marriage / In the Blue (Reprise) Now, my heir, that you know one day this'll all be yours How do you feel? You know the sea provides And you and the sea must never divide For, now you are one And you're my son

I'd been running through the town Searching for a clue to you The city's eyes and the old are watching me walk into the blackish blue All the steps I can hear through the walls All heavy hammers I hear fall The rolling waste and the trash inside The sound returns but costs the light And the way we're slipping through the snow Feels like we knew just where to go Upon the trees we feel just like the only ones But it's freezing cold, freezing cold here And then the ice cracks below our feet And in our minds, well, there grows a seed The aeroplanes outside my window Blur what's possible and what's real Swallowing all the plastic people That won't seem to think or feel And then the ice cracks below our feet And in our minds, well, there grows a seed All the faces I try to remember Crumble into one folded smile All light floods like through amber But the words are, oh, so vile Then the picture comes back into sight Its revelation feels just right I put my ear down to the ground and Once again I can hear no sound
