Tena Timetraveller 05:17
lyrics

TENA TIMETRAVELLER The inner is the outer and matter doesn't matter but then again it does I'm a time traveller. My feet are on the earth hands reach into the sky, if I run for all I'm worth would you say I could fly? This rock on which I sit was carved by glacial ice, this pond at which I gaze made by a meteorite. I'll be gone tomorrow in the blink of an eye. We'll all be dead but never really die. Tena Timetraveller Tena Timetraveller Tena Timetraveller Tena Timetraveller I'm a time traveller but I'm really always here. Do you see it? Do you get it? Is it clear? We all time travel but we're really always here. Now we see it. Now we get it. Now it's clear. Tena Timetraveller Tena Timetraveller Tena Timetraveller Tena Timetraveller

River Mnemosyne 04:23
lyrics

RIVER MNEMOSYNE Don't drink from the River Lethe like your father did while living. Leave the river of forgetting for the dead, for the dead. Do you believe your doom? I am no goddess. I only share the wind with you. We search for sacred waters. Choose your destiny by the River Mnemosyne. Drink the waters of remembering, River Mnemosyne. I'll meet you where the willows grow, kneel by the water's flow on the banks of Mnemosyne, the River of Remembering. Choose your destiny by the River Mnemosyne. Drink the waters of remembering, River Mnemosyne. Believe with me Believe with me Believe with me Don't drink from the River Lethe like your father did while living. Leave the river of forgetting for the dead, for the dead.

NEVERMORE Knock on her door she don't let you in. Fall on her floor she lets you spin. Her heart's lit like a candle she shines in your eyes, but she's not yours to handle. ...burn, don't burn your I'm sayin' don't burn, don't burn your I'm sayin' don't burn, don't burn your I'm sayin' don't burn your... Nevermore Nevermore Nevermore Nevermore Her no means no. Nursing your bottle you dream it ain't so. Still you go full throttle. But her no means no no come on, no tease. It's your time to go. ...burn, don't burn your I'm sayin' don't burn, don't burn your I'm sayin' don't burn, don't burn your I'm sayin' don't burn your… Nevermore Nevermore Nevermore Nevermore

We All Bleed Red 04:42
lyrics

WE ALL BLEED RED Ruber Niger Albus Fuscus Luteus* (+½ x2) We all bleed red. We all cry blue. You see our dead they're your dead too. This green earth turns to desert. The ice cracks and moans. No need to kill each other the elements will grind our bones. Ride the wind through the grass. Be the change made en masse. Our friend, death will come to pass. But he can wait, this world could last. We all bleed red. We all cry blue. We see your dead they're our dead too. My flesh is your flesh My bone is your bone My breath is your breath We all call this place home. (2x) *Latin for the colors of the skin: Red, Black, White, Brown, Yellow, respectively.

KOSKI* LISTENER I am tree listener I am tree singer you know me as bird. In the air I fly free I dart in among the trees you know me as bird. I know every single tree but only with my body you know me as bird. Koski listener Koski singer I float the rapids hear what they say to me the waters sing of flowing to the sea the water's song heals you and me. There are paths that no one sees through the rocks between the trees through the waters between you and me. There are paths that no one sees There are paths that no one sees There are paths.... *Finnish word for river rapids.

The Watcher 05:29
lyrics
buy track
THE WATCHER The Watcher sits upon the mountain, stars and moon spin above. Eyes peer into the darkness to see what comes. The Watcher sees all sees the rise sees the fall... The Watcher guards over the land so you can sleep in peace. Fingers trail stardust across the sky, golden sparks rain down from on high. The Watcher sees all sees the rise sees the fall. The Watcher sees all the rise, the fall. The Watcher witnesses civilizations rise and fall. The Watcher sees them all. Sun and wind are The Watcher’s friends, where on starts, the other ends then they begin again. Fingers trail stardust across the sky, golden sparks rain down from on high. The Watcher sees all sees the rise sees the fall. The Watcher sees all the rise, the fall. Rise, fall (3x)

DeathClock 04:51
lyrics

DEATHCLOCK Our life ticks by. Each of us has a DeathClock hanging over our heads. No matter how we try when it stops we’re dead. How much time do I have? What time will it be when I finally fly free... fly free… fly free... When the doctor gave you the news I could hear the clock. We gathered, made a meal drank wine like it was any other time. The DeathClock is marching on DeathClock marches on. The DeathClock is marching on DeathClock marches on. Some can’t take this world’s relentlessness. This mortal coil makes them restless. They stop their clocks however they can. Peace, it’s their choice there is no master plan. The DeathClock is marching on DeathClock marches on. The DeathClock is marching on DeathClock marches on. Can you hear it? Tick Tock... my dear DeathClock. Perhaps tonight’s my last on earth so I sing for all I’m worth, sing for all I’m worth. Sing for you Sing for me Sing for the moon Sing for the trees Sing for my child Sing for the sea My dear DeathClock just a little more time My dear DeathClock just a little more time… al fine

This House Breathes Fear 05:26
lyrics
buy track
THIS HOUSE BREATHES FEAR Something inside me tightens when I cross the threshold to this room where the midnight terrors loom. I lie in a bed you could tie me to, like we've dreamed, but I'm back in my childhood bondage. In the house that breathes fear In the house that breathes fear the house breathes fear Too many gaping windows too many open doors a banging, breathing heater beneath the floor. I'd lie awake for hours body turned to stone, my breathing shallow trying to make it all alone. In the house that breathes fear In the house that breathes fear the house breathes fear All alone All alone All alone All alone This - house – breathes – fear This - house – breathes – fear This - house – breathes – fear This - house – breathes – fear All alone All alone All alone All alone
