1. BREAK THE SURFACE

(Instrumental)


2. DARK RIVERS, WHITE THUNDER

I am a child of the sea
I wear my scars like a belt made of bullets
There are no shackles on me
I am a vessel for heaven's endurance, dissent in the fullest

Last to comply
The first to collide

Dark rivers, white thunder
Cast your magic, pull me under

I saw our future tonight
It's locked away in some ancestral memory
Scrying to seek out the light
Possessed by the spirits of wild and the free, bring it to me

Shatter our pride
Here comes the tide

Dark rivers, white thunder
Cast your magic, pull us under

Earth - Air - Fire - Water
Thought - Life - Strive - Akasha

What drives our hearts?
What keeps us living on?
What breaks our bones?
What's left when we are gone?

Dark rivers, white thunder
Cast your magic, pull me under
Dark rivers, white thunder
Cast your magic, pull us under


3. THE GHOST MESSENGER

By the light of the moon
I gaze into the other side
Dreams ashroud in feathered runes
A path across the great divide

And the skies
Still guide me
For thousands of years they have not denied me
My solace
My spells
Wings of the night protect and foretell

Only the spirit of love can heal your world


4. GOD WITH NO HEAVEN

You're the dead womb of liars
A stronghold of thieves
You've stolen from generations past, and you've stolen from me

Has God told you how to kill?
To slaughter the weak?
Is a gun or a triple-edged tongue the tool of the meek?

I'll burn down this keep
I'll light a fire and walk away
The waves shall ream your house of hate
Your towers crumbling into the bay

Speak to my bloodline
Speak to the slaves
Preach about how much they've taken, and how much you gave

And your strength is in numbers
Your thoughts unified
And you revel in fame and in votes as you watch others die

You say "Lord, Lord, I've obeyed thee"
Crying "Lord, Lord, come and save me"

Pray for the dead
Our lives torn to shreds
Pray for the dead
Our lives torn to...

But your God doesn't have a heaven
No cosmic domain
Your greedy master rules the land, with statutes and chains

So go and die for your flag
Worship your creed
The reason you wake and breathe, the reason you breed

I'll burn down this keep
I'll light a fire and walk away
The waves shall ream your house of hate
Your towers crumbling into the bay


5. CATCH A DREAM

Behind the wall I'm screaming out
But none can hear my cries
Behind my eyes I've come to find
The terror of my nights

Soul thorns, I'm torn

Go, catch a dream
Slash the seams
I'm waiting here for you
So, catch a dream
Show me all that gleams
The end is coming soon, oh

Down in the dark where shadows rule
My mind is ripped away
Horrid faces, whispered lies
And debts that I repay

Dire cost, I'm lost

Go, catch a dream
Slash the seams
I'm waiting here for you
So, catch a dream
Show me all that gleams
The end is coming soon, oh

Move quick as you can
Through this twilight land

Feathers, web, and welk
Save me from myself

Go, catch a dream
Slash the seams
I'm waiting here for you
So, catch a dream
Show me all that gleams
The end is coming soon, oh


6. FIRE STOMP

(Instrumental)


7. SPELL OF ICE

(Instrumental)


8. WE OF THE SHADOWS

In solitary cells
In fields of living hell
From the birth of this land, we've been dying
We deny your flag
With courage we still have
A symbol of all we're defying

You're my oppressor
You're the disease
You're the denier
Of sanctity

We of the shadows summon the storm
We are the prisoners of holy war

Screams in the air
Words and knuckles bare
No time for safe absolution
Integration, separation
We won't sleep til' revolution

There is no justice
Die to be free
The law is violence
The killing tree

We of the shadows summon the storm
We are the prisoners of holy war

I am the slave
Kin to the slain
And nobody cries for me
My heart is brave
True to the grave
And nobody fights for me

We will rise so high
From the ashes of the price we've paid
We will fly so high
Martyrs, captives, serfs, and renegades

Fight the power!

We of the shadows summon the storm
We are the prisoners of holy war


9. BLEED

The world is louder looking in
My mind is open wide
To know the skin beneath the sin
The tension of the tide

I see you
I join you

I'm only here so I can leave
Your talons in until I bleed
You are the beast inside of me
Make me taste the way you bleed

My thirst is howling to the sky
My loins burn like the sun
I am your slave, master on high
You are the great beyond

I serve you
I own you

You are the other side of me
I'll rake your flesh until you bleed
An ancient savage alchemy
Make me yours and make me bleed

When the night falls...
So shall your heart

I worship you!

You are the chains that make me free
Love is the wound from where I bleed
The arcane rain is drowning me
I bathe in blood because you bleed


10. NIGHT GYPSIES

We are lost
We are damned
We are free

Under the lunar glow there's something wicked in the mist
Black wings, raw hex below, the paragon of life persists
A ring on every finger, then one more around my heart
A sweet seduction lingers, enlighten me deep in the dark

Alive
Step outside

Firebirds and thunder beasts
Ferocious souls that need release
We're night gypsies
Walking in our sleep

I never fell in love the way they always promised me
I was never swept away and saved by vows and meant to be's
Everything that you've seen is somewhere else you don't belong
Hold tight your breast to me, your lips to mine and we'll be gone

Condemned
To live in sin

Firebirds and thunder beasts
Ferocious souls that need release
We're night gypsies
Walking in our sleep

In Hades we'll ride again
Elysium will find us there
In Hades we'll ride again
Elysium will find us there

Night gypsies fly high
Fire in the night sky

We are free


11. I WALK ALONE

I'm going to the mountain
I'm finding myself there
Oh, oh
I'm leaving these foundations
So bitter, I don't care
Oh, oh
I need peace
Serenity
I need strength
I am my fate

At the edge of a waterfall
My sins piled as high as the oceans are wide
I ran away, no regret at all
My scars are aligned and they know what I'll find

And I'm crying, crying, crying
But I'm far away from dying, dying

If I rise or fall I'll walk alone
When I heed the call I'll howl alone
I'll ride along the crossroads
I'll take the sinner's way home

Refugee in a firefight
They can't catch me in flames when I live in the rain
Out at sea and no land in sight
Forever in pain but a lifetime to gain

We all love those who betray us
Strangers in a life that's made up, made up

If I rise or fall I'll walk alone
When I heed the call I'll howl alone
Maybe I took the wrong road
Maybe I don't have a home

I need peace
Serenity
I need strength
I am my fate

I was forged in a dark place
Stronger than steel with a will that won't yield
Born bad with a hated face
By starlight I'm healed of the wounds I conceal

If I rise or fall I'll walk alone
When I heed the call I'll howl alone
If I rise or fall I'll walk alone
When I heed the call I'll howl alone
No fear, I'll walk my own road
The only way - I'll walk alone

And in the light of God
I'll sail so far beyond
Beyond every moon
And beyond every sun
I am one with the tide
Wash the tears from my eyes
This desire of mine
It's the call of the wild

And I see a world at war
And I'll sing a prayer
And I live forevermore
And I'll see you there
