The Lord said to Abraham “Come on now, Abraham, Gimme now your second child” The Lord said to Abraham “Come on now, Abraham, Gimme now your second child” That ain’t no Lord I said that ain’t no Lord That ain’t no Lord Take away a little child Abraham a kill his boy Abraham a kill his boy Didn’t give a second thought Abraham a kill his boy Abraham a kill his boy Didn’t give a second thought That ain’t no Lord I said that ain’t no Lord That ain’t no Lord Just a devil whisper in your ears What kinda man Now tell me, father Abraham Is cuttin’ on a baby’s throat? What kinda man Now tell me, father Abraham Is cuttin’ on a baby’s throat? That ain’t no Lord I said that ain’t no Lord That ain’t no Lord Just a devil by another name That ain’t no Lord I said that ain’t no Lord That ain’t no Lord Just madness ringing in his ears

Those Wicked Cards 03:28
lyrics
buy track
Drink up Drink up, it’s time. One more for the road Drink up, it’s time. 7 is the number and 7 are the signs. Goodnight ladies It’s time. The Sun is for sadness and mourning the past The Queen of Blades for reason The Hanged Man for sacrifice For waiting and for seeking Eyes wide open. See the cards unfold. Hear the bones a’rattling The hands pale and cold. One more? It’s time. Sink another for Old Scratch For the shadows The thoughts that hold us back 
Seven of coins for the benefits of toil Two vessels for attraction Eight blades root me to the soil Stagnation and inaction Drink up Drink up, it’s time. One more for the road Drink up, it’s time. See the smiling footmen Four carriages in a line. Goodnight ladies Goodnight. It’s time. And the last to show his face is Death For change and transformation The beginning and the end For all it brings damnation

Waiting for the World to End 03:32
lyrics

Draw a line through history, The start of you The end of me A mind that waits and ever contemplates Its lonely fate And wounded grace And now we go to meet the Pale King Empty handed, hollow words we bring Waiting for the world to end Waiting for the world to end The simulation’s breaking down and taking All our time End of the line A single ship amongst the stars In a sea of souls Our psychic shoals And now we go to meet the Pale King Empty handed, hollow words we bring Waiting for the world to end Waiting for the world to end

Leviathan 02:38

To make a hill a mountain To make a man a god Leviathan These ancient lands and peoples Met by iconoclasts Leviathan I see the walls are falling A flock of birds outside There’s fire on the horizon I can hear the trumpet call Leviathan

Lost Boy 05:12
lyrics

I can’t remember the last time That I came to you for a lifeline But here I am, I’m waiting in line And do you remember the first time? We stared down the barrel with sublime bravery We cut loose and cut deep Be the release The stabbing pain that we can’t resist Be the sleeper hold The phantom limb pulling us back from the abyss You said these were the best times As you brushed the hair out of your eyes Be the last line A final spark on a carpet of ash Be the push Be a guide through the looking glass You said these were the best times As you brushed the hair out of your eyes And we flew so close to the sun Surrounded by broken mirror glass A thousand accusers stare back Each one a piece of me Each one a possibility

Heart of Darkness 04:03
lyrics
buy track
These people they don’t speak for me With their rules and their laws and their tape tying me up They want me to look right and speak right and fit right and be like they want me to I want everything that they stand for corrupt Baby there’s a black hole where my heart should be I’m malevolence and hatred so twisted and cruel A righteousness and a fire to the anger inside But for now I’ll stay dumb, play the fool. I bide my time plotting vengeance No faith or love will stay my hand I’ll bring my pride and my wrath and my wantonness and my greed I will lay waste to the promised land And now it is time while they’re sleeping on the job It’s time for me and my friends to ride into town I’ll bring pestilence and famine and war and death And I’ll burn their fucking cities to the ground

Morning Star 03:43
lyrics

Floating in in the middle of a bubble that is slowly coming down on me It’s drowning me It’s swallowing me whole Walls begin to stare me down they’re bearing down they’re breaking down They’re crushing me imploding me They’re smothering my soul Shine a light Shine a light and set the world on fire Let’s burn away the disarray And celebrate our scars Shine a light Shine a light into the corners Where the magic lies and worlds collide Good morning, Morning Star Trapped inside a puzzle that’s all muddled up and shooting up won’t make it stop Won’t turn it off Won’t help to take the strain I’m waiting for an answer to a question that I reckon’s never coming ‘cos I’m thinking that My trust has been misplaced Shine a light Shine a light and set the world on fire Let’s burn away the disarray And celebrate our scars Shine a light Shine a light into the corners Where the magic lies and worlds collide Good morning, Morning Star And even if they bury us face down We’ll still be gazing at the stars

Let Me In 03:29
lyrics
buy track
Won’t you let me in? Won’t you let me in? We could live forever We could live in sin… What’s here for you now? Your time is running out. So let me in If you let me in We’ll embrace forever We can whirl and spin… Is there nothing you desire? Don’t you know that it’s warmer by the fire? Can’t you see it’s getting dark? And it’s safe with me, below I can show you so much more Than the world you think you know The sky is falling… So won’t you let me in?

Music of the Spheres 05:45
lyrics
buy track
Infinite positions in obsidian reflect Time and space and every souls’ eternal disconnect Sacred candles burn Visions twist and turn The workings and the gears The music of the spheres The mirror ball of images; a shimmering mirage Defying revelation in kaleidoscope collage Sacred candles burn Visions twist and turn The workings and the gears The music of the spheres Ripples smear the surface bending light from underneath The promise of enlightenment forever out of reach Sacred candles burn Visions twist and turn The workings and the gears The music of the spheres
