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

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

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"

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 03:10
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 02:34
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)
