Sea Of Fangs 02:58
With my pen I'll breathe, all of the dreams I see Never falling too free, kept within memory Icicle teeth of white, toxic surf with a bite Dash down the dying lights, never thought they'd be right Keeper of the night Soften your invite Sea of fangs in sight oh, Guide me through this plight Guide me through this plight All through my fantasies, I see a ring of trees Guarding the though, maybe, we can find sanctuary Crystalline faith it wrought, stuck to the fear it brought Seek out the pain I bought, turns out that it's been taught Keeper of the night Soften your invite Sea of fangs in sight oh, Guide me through this plight Guide me through this plight

I built a pallisade To keep my demons here at bay Never know if they're here to stay Never know if they fear the night or day But wait there's more to this An everlasting chance at bliss A glimmering from the corner of my eye Made me think how I never wanna die There's a ghost in the moat And he wears a certain coat There's a ghost in the moat And he won't float I'm off to nevermind Shake hands with all we find Play Peter Pan all the while Pied pipe'd love here is going out of style Take heed and never fail And always whisper of this tale Get on well with your private plan And I'll give everything I think I can There's a ghost in the moat And he wears a certain coat There's a ghost in the moat And he won't float

Lady Fortune 04:17
Fall as a tree Let it be Felled but free Dark days ahead It's been said Hard to tread Lady Fortune come Come and take your son Lady Fortune come Come and make us one Ride to the keep Ages deep Born of sleep Keeper of the flame Say her name She'll explain Lady Fortune come Come and take your son Lady Fortune come Come and make us one Dive down this old way They all say Never stray Keeper of the flame Say her name She'll explain Lady Fortune come Come and take your son Lady Fortune come Come and make us one

Whimpering lights leave me magnetized Then I see those emerald eyes I hear the voice of those past goodbyes On and on and on it goes Like a hymn without it's prose On and on and on it goes Where'd you learn to dance like smoke? Barricade your weary heart Always strong and twice and smart Then I see you playing the part Like a child skipping rope Whistful in your hapless hope On and on and on it goes Where'd you learn to dance like smoke? Out of sight and out of mind All the poison I left behind Breaking free of my snares and my binds Born anew I look you Sheltered in your ancient hue On and on and on it goes Where'd you learn to dance like smoke?

Bastion 04:02
Bastion, guard my hearth and key Fix the lock to distant memory Set the watch in groups of two and three Prime the fire, drum the armoury I can't say when we'll return Trust no oracle to learn Keep all secrets close to burn If all and all, we befall, a different turn Bastion, stock your piles for war Make heaven quake when cannon roar Press no simple man to do the deed A Juggernaut or Golem for a steed I can't say when we'll return Trust no oracle to learn Keep all secrets close to burn If all and all, we befall, a different turn Bastion, come and let me in Try to hear me past the awful din I built you up to high for hands to hold And now come crashing down to end me cold I can't say when we'll return Trust no oracle to learn Keep all secrets close to burn If all and all, we befall, a different turn

City on a hill, but still Can it shake a river's chill? Ice will flow and wash away Everything we used to say Levee broke again, my friend Brought about our final end Set the sail, hoist the flag Follow course to lunar drags Fly away in a booth, in a booth To hallow lands Take away with the truth, with the truth Of fallen hands Steady for the ricochet, ricochet When shuttles land Here we will come to pray, come to pray On silver sands Carry me my moon, and try to run away We'll be leaving soon, we'll be here to stay On your grey shores, feel the warmth of earth no more Velvet moon, drag me up Take me to your shores of sleep Frozen in the ever-night Glimmering in caverns deep Come one, come all, heed my call Never falter, never stall Dreams above the outer sky Captivate my magpie eye Fall in rank, son And keep alert When all is won, son We'll lie inert Prime your gun, son For the final hurt Here come the other ones Now hit the dirt Carry me my moon, and try to run away We'll be leaving soon, we'll be here to stay On your grey shores, feel the warmth of earth no more

I've never gazed upon a river this deep Burning black with the tears I weep Oh, all too soon, it was all too soon I was struck by this mournful moon Let me ggo back there, let me go back Retrograde me to the first attack And i will abide by the light of the dawn Prove to us that we all were wrong Yes, it knows, wherever I go Yes, it knows, wherever I go Yes, it knows, wherever I go Yes, it knows, wherever I go River of worry Show us all your hidden glory River of worry Show us all your hidden glory All across this forest flank Fires burned and the river stank The seas they churn with cauldron rhyme Back at home we're just killing time But it's not my fault, no, not my fault Not my skin in the airlock vault, But it's our pride, yes it's all our pride All the reason we had to hide Yes, it knows, wherever I go Yes, it knows, wherever I go Yes, it knows, wherever I go Yes, it knows, wherever I go River of worry Show us all your hidden glory River of worry Show us all your hidden glory

Candle Curse 04:21
Touching on a purest night Kept from sight, under candlelight Earlly eve when shadows dance Waltzed and spun in old romance Kin of wolf howl and cry Curtains to curfew till I die What is this, nocturnal bliss? Vanilla moon bore nature's kiss Silence flew on night's advance Tackled in an ancient trance Visions burning low, in twisted ember glow Daybreak be my nurse from this candlecurse Tell me now sluggish sight How demons now delight? Haze of mind, too blunt to fight Sheer the veil of wrong and right Tower cast a fearless flame Golden hue of lion's mane Stairway, whipser my ascent Creak a tune of past lament Frosty pins tickle me sharp Pounce on nerves from midnight harp Play the marionette, forlorn silhouette Daybreak be my nurse from this candlecurse

The Summons 04:49
Set me free my sweetness Set me free my queen From the outer ranges To the space between We have built a chapel there Nowhere in these books Bring me your scattered legion Your pawn and broken rook Bring all the coven bodies To this solemn wishing well Sing no joy nor sorrow Lay down your only spell Chase down this spirit Veiled and harboured deep Out of sight and out of grasp Were temptation never sleeps We chased it down to the viaduct The portal to our dreams Where all the hidden truths that we seek Are splayed in winding streams Lay my bones in bondage there Beneath the naked moon Set me free my sweetness And I will join you soon Set me free my sweetness Set me free my queen
