Morning 05:30
I was born to take you on to bring you down I’m alone but loud I’m a sword I was forged I’m the cold dark light you reach for at night I’m the dawn of a new world war I’m the light I’m the light I’m us all I’m the call that rings so bright I’m the light And oh, mum I’ve used it all oh, mum I’ve used it all oh, mum I’ve used it all
2.
Anti 04:34
An island home a reputation a violent hole a love sick nation I’m tired of all these resolutions the time has come for revolution but your books they tell a different story of burned out high school teenage glory but they’re all all sung they’re all sung A young man dies on television they buy the rights to his rare visions a touch, a kiss, a lifted dress your life become just one long mess until you recognise there ain’t no glory and live your angsty teenage stories but they’re all sung they’re all sung
3.
Golden 05:19
Golden light on a golden field it’s your right right to feel with all your heart with all your heart Gold and fine on a golden pill it’s your time time to kill with all your heart with all your heart And the sea's rising up there’s fear in the eyes of love and the seas rise as the tears you cry well they all add up Golden light on a golden field it’s your right right to feel with all your heart with all your heart
4.
Salvation 05:14
You kill the dreams of common man but you never seem to understand we’ll follow Taught to fear reality when everything you’ll ever be you’ve borrowed but you can’t fight us if you can’t find us anywhere no you can’t fight us no you can’t fight us Caught between the gravity and the freedom of insanity and sorrow Born no fool you swim a sea of ennui and never greet tomorrow tomorrow And though you grieve I know you know And though you believe I know you know that you can’t fight us you can’t find us no you can’t fight us you can’t fight us

Moon 04:33
Now I’m alright what do I do about you open your eyes it’s what you lose that proves that you ain’t the moon If I come inside it ain’t the moves that you do you covet your lies those sad little blues that you do but you are still the moon.
6.
El Topo 06:43
All you’ve taken taken from me all you’ve burned out you’ve burned out of me cool it baby you’re cooler than me and those mythical eyes don’t set you free Sunset’s fading fading on me driving downstream lonelier me soon pretty baby we’ll all be free if the pyramid eye just let’s us be.
7.
Trees 04:17
The willows on the water hang down to play but feel a cold misunderstanding hung dried out like her tears the widow’s on the landing her lover’s buried near and the trees are burning gladly but I won’t cry for you my love Your eyes reflect the water a river of your fear not dead but disillussioned and savaged by your peers through the window left wide open I spied your resltess heart now I will sing it gladly that I won’t cry for you my love
8.
Empire 07:01
I’m ten thousand miles away still trying to find a way to you I saw your lovers in the sea sing falsetto sounds of me and you then I saw seven golden knights break free to be apart from you and they’re doing this for you they’re doing this for you I’m four million miles away and still trying to fly away from you obey your lovers in the wind the foreshadowed sounds of him and you still I sing every single night praise be to feel a part of you and I’m doing this for you I’m doing this for you and on quiet nights do you scream and fight do you? or are you terrified that it’s all gone? I’m ten thousand miles away still trying to find a way to you I saw your lovers in the sea the falsetto sounds of me and you still I pray every single night it’s crazy just to feel a part of you and I’m doing this for you I’m doing this for you and on quiet nights do you scream and fight do you? or are you terrified that it’s all gone?
