Marks

where will you and i be found
the day the stars have all burned out
nothing left but empty space
all our signs erased
all the roads that lead you home
all the laws we once held set in stone
leave them all behind
leave them all behind
the end is clear in sight
i can see
the marks it’s left in me
all the ways i’ve learned to heal
where’d the weavers lead you now?
will you be with me the day i’m crowned
the king of what remains
dreaming of the glory days
i used to know the way
now you see the violet streams
the words that only god can speak, you know
there’s nothing left to hide
there’s nothing left to hide
come lay here by my side
i can see
the marks it’s left in me
all the ways i’ve learned to heal
i have seen
all i need to see
erase this autumn in my mind, and leave

Kingdoms
04:37

night
rushes through my mind
every fire burns away with time
it’s cold
and now it takes its toll
wandering the wasteland
kingdoms come to me
as i lay down to sleep
piece by piece
nothing speaks beneath the leaves
what do you want from me
nothing’s enough for you, it seems
weigh every word i speak
black and white, day and night, bittersweet
now
you’ll break your empty vows
i’m sure beyond a shadow of a doubt
just talk
walk me through it one last time
you’re turning over every stone to find
kingdoms come and go
the weight we carry grows
the more we know
watch the red-tailed hawk, how high she floats
what do you need from me
nothing’s enough for you, it seems
one last old song then sleep
back and forth it runs its course, bittersweet

Savior

did you get what you came for in the end?
are you done playing savior now my friend?
when the trail you’ve been chasing runs cold
will you see what was waiting down that road
somebody once told me
the world’s gone up in flames
but somewhere there’s a kingdom left to claim
fairweather friends crowd the frame, ah
doesn’t matter what happens in the end
done is done and the earth still spins my friend
while you slept in the west, the hours moved
burning stars out to clear the way for you
somebody once told me
the world will run you down
the kings have all thrown off their heavy crowns
so gather your strength, hold fast on the high ground

Berserker

everywhere you go the blood runs free and melts the snow
you are so bold
you can feel yourself slip off the edge of reason
the killing season
one by one you cut them down, so certain of your purpose
certain they deserve it
and in your restless mind you'll hear no cry for mercy
you trapped them in the abbey
and in the far back of your mind you know it's only right
none of us were made to last but god knows you were born to fight
there will come a time when you and i must cross swords
break the oaths we swore
it will be the end of us, my friend, my brother
every battle won begins another
and all this time we entrusted our lives to a god who doesn't mind
no more wise than a sparrow tracing circles in the sky
in the far back of our minds we know it's only right
none of us were made to last but god knows you were born to fight

Waiting
03:44
|

|
well i know as well as you
this has all been done before
every night i lay awake
wonder what is left that's worth the cost we pay
the hours pass by, and all your faces fade
we're hollowed out inside
and if in twenty years you know my name
i would be surprised
i'll wait for this to pass
well i know as well as you
this has all been done before
now i ask you as i pray
how it's come to this
and who i could have saved
all the lights come down and strike the stage
still i feel your eyes
and if in fifty years a thing remains
wouldn't that be nice
i'll wait and watch this pass

Blue
03:59
|
|||
|
when all our words are burned up off the page
and the old oak tree's torn down
among the silent hills i lose my way
i lie awake
i'll wait
i'll wait
i know i wasted all these years
i wasted all these years
one by one the judges come to call
leave me loaded down with doubt
no one had the words to weigh it all
so i burn out
i'll wait
i'll wait
i've been a lost cause all this time
a lost cause all this time
for august nights the warm and well worn streets
some love that wants to grow
the miles you walked in silence safe with me
i'm chasing ghosts
i'll wait
i'll wait
i'm still afraid to fall asleep
i'm afraid to fall asleep
a long dark road is set
before me
