1. MIDSUMMER DAYS

Fields of faded gold
Dry and lifeless beneath a dusky sky
Flower crowns wither on barren earth
Where maidens once danced in the sun

Dreams decay
Abandoned in a wilting world
Wasting away
Dead are our midsummer days

Forests grimly thin
Brood over meadows pale and crisp
Fleeting warmth in the last rays of light
Final blessings as green turns to gray

Lost hours
Herald of the dark age to come
Wasting away
Dead are our midsummer days

Will we return?

Slow descent
Desolation and dismay
Wasting away
Dead are our midsummer days

Will we return?


2. GREAT COLOSSUS

The ground shakes with your every step
Gray smoke is pouring from your head
A roaring engine given life
With a war-fueled yearning to destroy

On hilltop bathed in red lights' gaze
Obsession awakens deep within me
A natural child of the Earth
Possessed by the might of the great colossus

Oooh... Have mercy on them
Oooh... Come to me

I'm a machine too
Desperate for your metal power
Sleek and silver love
Offer up your manufactured heart

Before me now your titanic form
I stand in awe with a joyous trembling
My gentle hand caresses steel
A wellspring of gratitude overflowing

Oooh... Have mercy on them
Oooh... Come to me

I'm a machine too
Desperate for your metal power
Sleek and silver love
Offer up your manufactured heart

Wire veins and electric blood
Humming, whirring, pistons pumping
A soul emerges from your armored frame
Erupting outward in rhapsody

Behold my steadfast guardian
Cold stoicism giving way
As flesh meets steel in our embrace
Entwined in passion everlasting

I'm a machine too
Desperate for your metal power
Sleek and silver love
Offer up your manufactured heart


3. ENDLESS NIGHT

Rest your soul now, surrender to silence
Ashes to ashes and dust unto dust
Release yourself to the endless night

Cast off your shackles, abandon your troubles
The burdens of being have come to an end
Eternal slumber waits for us all

Though you tremble standing before the grave
When you cross the threshold there will be no pain
Dread will pass as the twilight fades
And you give yourself to death's embrace
