1.
The Clash 04:35
the star shines bright and the heat reaches it's peak for us this sounds weird as the holy days draw near the black swan meets the white they bend their necks and form a heart only if we could be that smart the peaks will turn gray on the holiest day the sea will give us her final embrace in the end we are all the same we will meet in the unknown place
2.
silky fields moving in the wind as the waves of the sea speak too me how can I translate this? I hold my breath as the sky rains down on me I close my eyes and feel the raindrops fall on me this day makes me feel both black and blue I found the truth in the freezing cold this is how you talk to us
3.
The Void 05:51
my grip is loosing it's form I'm like leaves falling off in a storm I hope the eye will find me and stay before the flood comes to wash me away you and I, we are in this together you and I, we are in this forever the globe begins to swell and I feel like a drain got this sense in my stomach that is stopping my veins the deep breath fights the void in my chest god, cry out your warm tears on the back of my neck this time it strikes to hard in time I will be breathing thin air this time it hurts to much inside I will be seeking your help raise me up, he pulls me down
4.
this awakening, moves the brush into your crayons use the tools, delivered on a golden plate a few strokes will connect the dots when you are the one somewhere under the rainbow I will be game over somewhere over the rainbow I will be counting my score we are building bridges without any directions find your tool, watch your tool a few strokes will connect us all will connect us to the source doctor describe these feelings I see the moon in you have you noticed mother making minds move in motion? my mind is in motion
5.
a big black carnivore chasing me and the hill I climb is slippery just one mistake and I'm history please god, don't let it catch me up on the hill it looks so small they put it in a box so I can see that this animal I shouldn't flee should I keep or should I pity? I let go, forgive and release the black spot on my sphere
6.
has Ben begun walking on water yet? should I pull my lungs out of my back? everything or anything for some eyes to stare his comeback doesn't work because nobody cares let me be your savior I'll let you be me for a day
7.
The God Gene 03:31
I gave my blood today but it took my heart away must be one of these days got fed to the shark again afraid when darkness falls silence creeps around me images of failure surround me what power can stop this? you took me up, out of this pit pushed me to start again
8.
The Shades 04:29
I watched this person through the shades I felt like an ant in a parade I saw a stranger pull out something and now the shades have new meaning as I watch from above and see my own fatal sores now I see giving is much more rewarding for you I gave my life and for that you embrace me I watched this person through the shades I felt like an ant in a parade I saw a stranger pull out a knife and now the shades have new meaning as I'm watching from above through light they tell me what is to be done you all should put yourselves in others perspectives and then welcome a new life
9.
have you heard the story about a hero so obsessed doomed by it's own complacence and drowned by it's own reflection the only thing that's real is my self-complacence where is my sense of discretion I watch as people turn their backs hope they turn around and face me I'm doomed by my own complacence drowned by my own reflection
10.
wherever is my destination tonight these endless roads stair me apart who is under the wheel someone who doesn't seem to know the way I loose control I outstrip your every move I'm just an inch close I'm examining your soul keep clean, keep cool, keep your head straight it's best for you that my dreams don't come true
11.
The Path 04:11
will this make me strong I use your hours for now they are gone before your time my purpose was none now this thing is all that I live for awake and breathing in my goal driving alone on this endless road finally my heart speaks to my soul your wings will carry me forever write this down and read it every day listen to what I have to say "find your path, heart and soul before you loose them all"
12.
life fights resistance on this ball that is spinning us in circles do we play this game for no reasons? is this in your hands if I surrender? the wind carries me on why not in your arms this pain buries me down my path into your heart raise your breath the voices sang head falls down into your ground I'm coming home but they're crying
13.
I watched the sky becoming darker I touched the night so I could feel much smaller this winter collects fresh new secrets when I feel this night getting darker what would it be like if we had four years and four months to watch inescapable doom heading to us this winter collects fresh new secrets when we all feel this night getting darker advancing towards us knowing when it finally arrives it would blow off the skin right of our bones
14.
kaldur vindur streymir upp að mér sólin sest og felur sig frá þér gangan styttist en ég veit það er nóg eftir bara að ég gæti hlaupið burt frá þér falist bakvið fjöllin og horft á þig hvílst þar í friði og komist burt frá því sem ég sé svart hlið merkt mynd af mér dauð von sem nærist enn kalt hlið dregst að mér hlýir straumar flæða um þig enn grátur rennur samt helst þú frá mér grátur lekur, gleðin ert þú enn englar hljóða hvernig líður þér englar hvísla þetta er ekki rétt
