1. INTO OBLIVION (REUNION)

The days I've felt alone
And the sea, it brings me back again
So that I can see my wife
And I can see my child
Home, I'm home, it never changes
Same old faces, same old places

I stared into oblivion
And found my home
I stared into oblivion
Into oblivion

I'm finding me the home
That you have never known
We'll find in us the faith
The faith to bring you home

I stared into oblivion
And found my home
I stared into oblivion
And found my home
I stared into oblivion
And found my own way back to there (way back to there)

Home, now that I'm coming home
Will you be the same as when I saw you last?
Tell me how much time has passed
Home, now that I'm coming home
Will you be the same as when I saw you last?
Tell me how much time has passed
Home, now that I'm coming home
Will you be the same as when I saw you last?
Tell me how much life has passed

I stared into oblivion
(And found my home)
I stared into oblivion
(And found my home)
I stared into oblivion
(And found my home)
I stared into oblivion
And found my own way back to there


2. THE GREAT WIDE OPEN

Launch the ships
The walls are closing in
Close our eyes
In the deepest darkness

Sail away, sail away to find them
Half a life, half a life among light
Sail away, sail away to find them
Half a life, half a life amongst them

Out Of Reach
Too far gone to be saved

Hear the sound
The call is to believe
Husbands and sons
Are lost to their sea

Sail away, sail away to find them
Half a life, half a life amongst them

Out Of Reach
Too far gone to be saved
Out Of Reach
Taken by the waves
By the waves

The light thats shines
Will dull our eyes
The light that shines
Will dull the life

Out of reach
Too far gone to be saved
Out of reach
Taken by the waves
Out of reach
Out of reach
Out of reach
Too far gone to be saved

3. THE DIARY

And it came from nothing
But there was always something
And when the sky burned brighter
And the nights grew darker

Hold on to everyone
That I hold dearly
To my heart
And I wont forget them

I wont forget them

Fading, always fading
Never needed more
Waiting, always waiting
Scraped across the wooden floor

And the passing time
Reaches Out
And Covers Me
With Images
Of everyone that i have known
Are ever hard to see

And I wont forget them
And I wont forget them

Fading, always fading
Never needed more
Waiting, always waiting
Scraped across the wooden floor

When the day is done
Another setting sun is down
When the day is done
Another setting sun

Waiting, always waiting
Scraped across the wooden floor

Scraped across the wooden floor
When will you be coming home?
Scraped across the wooden floor
When will you be coming home?
Scraped across the wooden floor
When will you be coming home?

Scraped across the wooden floor


4. ON A WIRE

I'm on fire
Close to the water
And I'll be saved again
Staring at the ocean, over and over
Will I ever see them again?

Why believe SOS?

Find a way to bring me home
I don't wanna be alone again, again
Find a ship to take me home
I don't wanna be alone again
Not again, not again, not again, not again

I'm on a wire, over the border
And I'll be saved again
Living on an island, over and over
I don't think I see them again

Why believe SOS?

Find a way to bring me home
I don't wanna be alone again
Not again, not again, not again, not again

As the daylight fades (daylight fades)
I am a broken man, all alone
As the daylight fades (daylight fades)
And I'm just a broken man
All alone, with no home

Find a ship to take me home
I don't wanna be alone again
Not again, not again, not again, not again

Find a ship to take me home
I don't wanna be alone again
Not again, not again, not again, not again


5. ALL HANDS ON DECK, PT. 1: RAISE THE SAIL

Horizon shows the signs,
the eye is getting closer,
birds don't fear the sky,
the clouds are looming over,
the vessel breaks the back it takes,
another wave that we must face.

Raise the sail,
as we all,
feel powerless.
Raise the sail,
as we all,
feel powerless.

Bloody hands reach out,
violence breaks my body,
drowning in the sea,
lifeboats lost without them,
the vessel breaks the it takes,
another wave that we must face.

Raise the sail,
as we all,
feel powerless.
Raise the sail,
as we all,
feel powerless.
Drowning in the wake,
as we all feel powerless.

Under crests of stars, water breaks a broken heart.
Under crests of stars, water breaks a broken heart.
Under crests of stars, water breaks a broken heart.


6. ALL HANDS ON DECK, PT. 2: OPEN WATER

Awake, I am awake,
and I'm still alive out here,
awake, I am awake
and I'm still alive out here,
blinded, by this light,
it is all that surrounds me.

Deep water, I can smell the blood,
how long, how long before they come,
showing teeth, bearing fever, lost in open water,
until they find, finds us all, lost with all the shipwreck.

Deep water, I can smell the blood,
how long, how long before they come.
Waves crashed upon the shore, and time and time again,
we lost control. Am I too far gone to be saved,
lost in the water all alone, am I too far gone to be saved.
Lost in the water all alone, am I too far gone, too far gone to be saved.

Waves crashed upon the shore, and time and time again,
we lost control.
Waves crashed upon the shore, and time and time again, we lost control,
and I lost control.


7. OUT OF REACH

Launch the ships
The walls are closing in
Close our eyes
In the deepest darkness

Sail away, sail away to find them
Half a life, half a life
Sail away, sail away to find them
Half a life, half a life amongst them

Out Of Reach
To far gone to be saved

Hear the sound
The call is to believe
Husbands and sons
Are lost to their sea

Sail away, sail away to find them
Half a life, half a life amongst them

Out Of Reach
To far gone to be saved
Out Of Reach
Taken by the waves
By the waves

The light thats shines
Will dull our eyes
The light that shines
Will dull the life

Out of reach
Too far gone to be saved
Out of reach
Taken by the waves
Out of reach
Out of reach
Out of reach
Too far gone to be saved


8. ONE FOR THE ROAD

There are miles left to walk
And this desert never lies
A broken bottle's on the floor
Cigarette kisses on the walls

Did you forget to call?
To find your way back home
I pull another drink
You find yourself alone

And with the truth I feel inside
Could you believe me?
That I could wait here all my life
For you to find me

Faces pass me by
And these pictures never lie to me
A broken bottle's on the floor
And all this writing on the wall

Did you forget to call?
To find your way back home
I pull another drink
You find yourself alone

And with the truth I feel inside
Could you believe me?
That I could wait here all my life
For you to find me

Pass me by, never lie
Pass me by, never lie

(Lie x5)

You never lie
(Lie)
You never lie
(Lie)
You never lie
(Lie)
You never lie


9. WALK AWAY

All the words,
That we have to say.
They don't leave,
When the moment comes,
We know we have to wait.

As the days,
Go on,
And the places fade away.
Into dirt,
Into dust,
It all fades away.

And the waiting is the hardest thing to take,
And a moment more before we break.

If you have to let it go,
And these dreams keep you awake,
If you have to let it go,
Walk away...

And the shapes we want to see,
Dont leave,
Another piece that this puzzle needs.

And the waiting is the hardest thing to take,
And a moment more before we break.

If you have to let it go,
And these dreams keep you awake,
If you have to let it go,
Walk away...

And the waiting is the hardest thing to take,
And a moment more before we break.

If you have to let it go,
And these dreams keep you awake,
If you have to let it go,
Walk away...

If you have to let it go,
And these dreams keep you awake,
If you have to let it go,
Walk away...

If you have to let it go,
And these dreams keep you awake,
If you have to let it go,
Walk away...


10. SWEETEST WAVE

I'll never understand
Why I have been saved
The sea sings its master plan
Over the waves

Sun rise upon the line
buckling drift
the path that I walked along
is lost in the drift

So far away from my home, will the stars return?

The wave of oppressive lights
this colourless storm
at peace with the thirst inside
away from the swarm

moments of peace will come
the wind at my heals
my body's lifeless age
is lost to its feel

so far away from my home, will the stars return?

Home is where I needed you, salvation in dreams

Heaven above me
Water below me
How can I survive this?

Swallow the sea
blood draining me too far
and I cannot stand it

and I cannot stand it

Anymore, and I cannot stand it
Anymore
Anymore, and I cannot stand it
Anymore
Anymore, and I cannot stand it
Anymore

Collusus returning
Mountain is singing
fish are fresh from the killing

Breath hitting me
return to the sea to sleep
he tries to command it (elanor)

He tries to command it (elanor)

Dearest hope has gone away
swaying out so far from me
golden to hair palm my sway
sweetest wave bring me home
Bring me home!

bring me home
bring me home
bring me home
