Giant's Breath
03:00
|
|||
We were stars and frozen rain,
calling in the breaking day
Catching sunlight in our hands,
burning orchards lit the land
I won’t admit it, I won’t admit it, no, no
I won’t admit it, I won’t admit it, no, no
I won’t admit that I’m wrong
Reap the sun in the turning sky,
heave a river to dry our eyes
Standing on a whale’s head,
carried by a giant’s breath
I won’t admit it, I won’t admit it, no, no
I won’t admit it, I won’t admit it, no, no
I won’t admit that I’m wrong
Let the storm clouds bear me up,
Let the storm clouds bear me up,
Let the storm clouds bear me up,
Let the storm clouds bear me up

When Zeus died and Icarus fell
When Zeus died and Icarus fell, a light died inside of us
When Zeus died and Icarus fell
When Zeus died and Icarus fell, a light died inside of us
When Midas burned and Gabriel drowned
When Midas burned and Gabriel drowned
When Isis crawled and Ptolemy wept
When Isis crawled and Ptolemy wept, a light died inside of us
When Isis crawled and Ptolemy wept
When Isis crawled and Ptolemy wept, a light died inside of us
When Midas burned and Gabriel drowned
When Midas burned and Gabriel drowned
Oh God! Oh God! Oh God! Oh God!
Gather me, gather me, like branches for a fire
Carry me, carry me, in innocence, in innocence
Gather me, gather me, like branches for a fire
Carry me, carry me, in innocence, in innocence
When Zeus died and Icarus fell
When Zeus died and Icarus fell, a light died inside of us

The Temple Comes Down
03:23
|
|||
In flight from the city, feel the earth moving round
We were all bloody hands when the temple came down
Made a ladder from a sunbearn, made a shroud from a cloud
We were kicking screaming streets when the temple came down
In flight from the city, turned around saw it drown
We were static skin and thunder clouds, around our crowns
Heard commands from an angel, drowned a plume from the sun
Carried on an anvil cloud when the temple came down
In the light of the mountain, and the shadow of the sun
We were gnashing teeth and fingernails soiled with blood
Saw the back of a prophet, saw the cradle of a town
All the brother’s tilted heads when the temple came down
In flight from the city, turned around saw it drown
We were static skin and thunder clouds, around our crowns
Heard commands from an angel, drowned a plume from the sun
Carried on an anvil cloud when the temple came down
Ooooh….. Oooooh……
Praise to the idiot, Hail to the coward x6
Praise to the idiot, Hail to the coward
Praise to the idiot, Hail to the coward

I Want A Prophet
02:50
|
|||
Sun, rise over my head,
sweep over the spastic skin of water
Sand, burn under my feet,
baptise the red searing streets with water
"And now the river, and now the river has found me,
I wanna drown me, carry me, carry me to water”
"And all the gods, and all the demi-gods can't stop it,
I wanna prophet, carry me, carry me out to sea"
Light, follow me through time,
bless all the great lakes and falls with a madness
Quake, wake the sleeping faults,
wake the pointing ghosts with a madness
"And now the river, and now the river has found me
I wanna drown me, carry me, carry me to water”
"And all the gods, and all the demi-gods can't stop it,
I wanna prophet, carry me, carry me out to sea"
"And now the river, and now the river has found me
I wanna drown me, carry me, carry me to water”
"And all the gods, and all the demi-gods can't stop it,
I wanna prophet, carry me, carry me out to sea"

River of Nothing
03:21

On a river of nothing,
you can say just what you like
All alone in the forest,
see the fall trees scrape the sky
I am here angel, make yourself known
I am here angel, make yourself known
On a river of nothing,
you can say just what you like
All alone on the mountain,
see the tall trees scrape the sky
I am here angel, make yourself known
I am here angel, make yourself known
On a river of nothing,
you can say just what you like
All alone in the forest,
see the tall trees scrape the sky
I am here angel, make yourself known
I am here angel, make yourself known
I am here angel, make yourself known
I am here angel, make yourself known
I am here angel, make yourself known
I am here angel , make yourself known

Winter Wale
03:39

Mouth swallowing the sea,
gaping at the storm, turning from the sun
Hands dragging down the sky,
dragging up the tides, turning from the sun
Night swallowing the light,
filtering the clouds, bringing heaven down
Whale turning down the world, turning down the world
Making stormclouds tremble
Cold rain, bear me up
Strong wind, slow me down
White Whale
Mouth swallowing the sea,
gaping at the storm, turning from the sun
Hands dragging down the sky,
dragging up the tides, turning from the sun
Night swallowing the light,
filtering the clouds, bringing heaven down
Whale turning down the world, turning down the world
Making stormclouds tremble
Sinking pilgrims calling out, calling out (x4)
Waving from the wreckage (x4)
Cold rain, bear me up
Strong wind, slow me down
White Whale, white Whale

Dear Angel

Said a man to cosmos I’m here
Turn around now, turn around now
Said a lion to the mountain I’m here
Turn around now, turn around now
Dear angel I want to go home
Shine light from the citadel
Dear mermaid I want to go home
Shine light from the Lighthouse
Dear angel I’m innocent, innocent (x2)
Dear angel I’m innocent, innocent (x2)
Said the spirit to the willow I’m here
Turn around now, turn around now
Said the killer to the river I’m here
Turn around now, turn around now
Dear angel I want to go home
Shine light from the citadel
Dear mermaid I want to go home
Shine light from the Lighthouse
Dear angel I’m innocent, innocent (x2)
Dear angel I’m innocent, innocent (x2)
Follow me through the sea, trough the desert
Follow me through the fields

Automatic
03:06
|

It started as a joke, but all fell into place
And the world, will remember your face
When you die, on the finish line of the race,
Automatic, automatic, automatic, automatic
It started as a game, but turned into a war
And the dice, rolled a fire and a four
When we lose, we clear it off the floor
Automatic, automatic, automatic, automatic
When we fall, we descend,
We conclude, we reach the end
When we lose, we lose our fear of death
Automatic, automatic, automatic, automatic
It started as a pin, and turned into a hole
And the world, would have swallowed me whole
If you survive, I’ll make it worth your while
Automatic, automatic, automatic, automatic

Weird Sister

Said the mountain to the stars,
fall in love with the beautiful world
Said the pointing cornfield ghost,
fall in love with the beautiful world
Said St. Lawrence on the pyre,
fall in love with the beautiful world
Single file into the fire
where I fell in love with a screaming girl.
Let the bells call out our names,
fall in love with the beautiful world
Let the earthquakes giants wake,
fall in love with the beautiful world
Let the city fall under the waves,
fall in love with the beautiful world
Let the temple be swallowed by flames,
where I fell in love with a screaming girl.
Let the bells call out our names,
fall in love with the beautiful world
Let the earthquakes giants wake,
fall in love with the beautiful world
Let the city fall under the waves,
fall in love with the beautiful world
Let the temple be swallowed by flames,
where I fell in love with a screaming girl.
Let the bells call out our names (x8)
