When the gods are late Come back my love One gives, the other takes Will they belong? When the gods are fading When the gods are fading When the gods are fading When the gods are fading Then and now I remember you Then and now When the war is done Paradise isn’t safe Will you believe now? When the gods are fading When the gods are fading When the gods are fading When the gods are fading When the gods are fading When the gods are fading When the gods are fading When the gods are fading

Red Kingdom 03:35
I know you’ve buried enough Gallow’s pole On a mountain top Oh, see the birds fly I feel you close behind Hand of darkness Or peace of mind Oh, hear the wind cry Come down Come down Come down To the ground I see the desert ahead Red kingdom Can you rest my head? Oh, take my sky Come down Come down…

Hotel You 03:23
Well I’m leaving now You struck a match for the last time To think you were my bride But I can’t stay in this hotel room While you’re burning me alive Catching on fire So I’m checking out tonight Running down the hallway Passing by all the others Remembering my lovers Every room starts like a movie Somehow I end up in red Catching on fire I can’t see how this one ends And while your jokes all turn to ashes My heart never gets a rest Catching on fire I should have listened to my head Catching on fire But I won’t be your revenge Catching on fire I should have listened to my head

Waking Up 03:28
I’m waking up On your leather bed Morning light Offer me your shelter I was wrong Lying on a feeling You grew old Staring at the ceiling Is it crazy? I never tried Are you asleep? That isn’t restful To think that I I used to hear the trumpets You were right Nothing’s ever certain I grew young Hanging on a curtain Is it crazy? I never tried Is it crazy? I never tried Put my head Softly on your chest Felt your heart I held on for less I’m usually The only one believing But you were wrong I dreamt of leaving
5.
Come and go around My carousel ring The paint falls like rain But I’m caught on a string And the gate is closing Hear the tiger and bell Taking dreams so young I let go of naming myself I’ll send the horses on the run Horses on the run Now I am losing all the reins Are they listening? Don’t let the shadows on the plain Fool me into thinking I’m a fool for thinking Hear the tiger and bell Taking dreams so young I let go of naming myself I’ll send the horses on the run Horses on the run Horses on the run No matter where they run No matter where they run No matter where they run No matter where they run Welcome the nightmare in the open air Hear the tiger and bell Taking dreams so young I let go of naming myself I’ll send the horses on the run Horses on the run Horses on the run

Breaking Ice 03:12
I don’t feel like I should Trapped like a winter bird And all the pain I’ve been through Frozen down in my veins So I am breaking the ice I am breaking the ice And you can tread the water Find who survives I can’t hold onto you Gold teeth keep you lying And vanities I made of you Your snow money can’t buy So I am breaking the ice I am breaking the ice And you can tread the water Find who survives I feel the landslide Feel the landslide I feel the landslide in you And all the rumors you amuse Won’t keep me by your side So I am breaking the ice I am breaking the ice And you can tread the water Find who survives Find who survived

Oh, I see a mountain in your eye Oh, rising higher in the sky Wanting is never enough Leaning your ladder on the sun Lay me down at your feet Only idols of your dreaming Oh, I see a mountain in your eye Oh, rising higher in the sky Wanting is never enough Leaning your ladder on the sun Carry on your vision Only echoes from your prison Oh, I see a mountain in your eye O, rising higher in the sky Wanting is never enough Leaning your ladder on the sun Ahuh… Oh, I see a mountain in your eye Oh, rising higher in the sky Wanting is never enough Leaning your ladder on the sun Oh, Oh, Oh
8.
Come on neon giant Take my illusion Hold me in your limelight Forget this great divide ‘Cause now I am blind When I, I see you there Blurry ocean tide The world fades in my mind This feeling’s old and new I fear I’ll speak too soon ‘Cause now I am blind for Seeing you there Oh, I should look away Oh, I should look away ‘Cause now I am blind When I, I see you there ‘Cause now I am blind When I, I see you there I see you there…
9.
White smoke In the air Burning words from someone’s affair Black water river Leave behind your love for her I can’t go back I can’t go back To you Raising flowers from stone Seeing faces but no one is home I can’t go back I can’t go back To you I can’t go back I can’t go back I’m turning back I’m turning back To you
10.
Empty again My dear friend Ships coming in Coming up for air Reaching back In arms I can pretend I know this will end But I’m addicted to the view Leave me in blue Leave me in blue I’m sinking in Hanging on the rim We can’t stay here I end where I begin Empty again Leave me in blue Leave me in blue

Skin & Bones 04:07
What it’s like here When my mind is clear I see what you’ve grown A palace high with, Fingertips No cracks in the stone You call home I don’t mean to understand it I’m just walking down the road But you’re misapprehending A temple for a how My skin and bones What it’s like there In your atmosphere Caught in the undertow Sinking higher To the highest buyer I see the flock of crows In my shadow I’m not sure what just started I’m just walking down the road If you’re feeling like you’re haunted Come and dance with your ghost My skin and bones
