As the coil unwound we sought the higher ground It forms, takes shape, the power balance breaks What man stole is replaced by the new author of fate It moves, shifts weight, the keeper of the gate (The power of your will has no ambition to feed it) The leaves blowing on the trees never wavered The stones that man had left alone never faltered The sea spilled upon the land and carved a path to the damned Earth...Chose...Sides in perfect divide

Gold Rush 07:40
A brain is never plural until it's forced from its bed The drains have overflowed again Break bread with our enemies Poison the air that we breathe The hands on the clock are pressing on aimlessly But that makes no difference to me No time, no age No earth, no space It's all been erased ................................... As the tide is subsiding Communication is dying Seek the real care merchant Bleeding in the margins Of the low baptismal glow
3.
Soul retention is not as vital as this whole deception The life we're seeking is just as vital as the facts we're bending Mass redemption riding on the backs of what is ending The sanctuary is stone walled Gnaw the fat off of every bone Fall into the centuries below Sold to the man with the earthly glow Expose it all Sold to the man with the empty soul He chose this road No reality could hold What he stole

I've been working the fields night and day Sweat mixes in with the dirt and the clay, wither away Plows can cut through the soil and stone Eyes to the harvest of seeds yet unsown Nothing has grown Earth torn by the shovel and spade Triumphantly viewing the progress that's made Rest in the Shade Seeds sprouting roots taking form Food for the kinsmen to weather the storm Winter is borne Skin turning pale, muscles are frail You look like you've never seen the sun Running away you know you should stay I promise the best is yet to come Sit, face buried deep in a screen Trapped in the box of a corporate machine Yearn to be free Caged dressed in a suit and a tie Agony bottled up deep down inside Waiting to Die Light flickers in fluorescent glow Revealing the path to a life yet unknown, stand up and go Sun radiates down from the sky Blessing the people who know how it feels to work in the fields Skin Turning Pale, muscles are frail You look like you've never seen the sun Running away you know you should stay I promise the best is yet to come Work every finger to the bone Give up the rights to all you own

Black Moon 06:04
Black moon rising, Rising above Casting shadows on the people of the sun Black moon rising, rising above Give me your strength Show me your love I can't look away The tide's pulling in It burns in my eyes and it leads me astray Black moon rising, rise in the sky Nations tremble in fear at the sight Black moon rising, rise in the sky Take all your dreams and cast them aside now I can't look away The tide's pulling in It burns in my eyes and it leads me astray
6.
Life like an old fashioned fox hunt Burns your sides Because the air can't reach the muscles Contract and swell and push and pull propels us on Hooves dig deep into the railroads That our fathers tried To keep us away from But no one ever listens to the gifts of time Right behind the fleeing target As it ducks and dives It's against the rules to catch it You can only sit and watch your life go flying by The height and pinnacles of reason Won't give the right To take the shot and make the kill Returning all existence to a simpler time Fire...Pours over the falls Seering Deity...omnipotent Being Desire...Unshaken resolve Fire ...pours over the falls Seering Display your world as a portrait Above a dinner plate While they talk about the weather And perpetual misfortune Sight, insight is outside Measurable time The point has been exposed it's just a tunnel vision sprint Into the great unknown

Red River 07:13
Red River show me Show me a sign Red River told me life is just a lie The messenger showed me That when we die Our minds are released into the cycles of the sky Show me a sign if you don't mind talking to me Show me a sign as the moons they rise No light...No Sunrise The night sky...has frozen my eyes Look to the trees These are the greetings from the first and fourth seasons Gone is the light and we can't hide From all the truths that we find A total collapse A mental divide over space and time It never falters it never fails The red river prevails
