New World 04:05
All my friends say I'm gone again But I found gold in a new world On the other side of the sea But I won't be long for the world spins on I'll be back home in a year
2.
Lovers go and hit the road That they've paved with your heart Like thieves they come in the night Taking all you have With knees curled up against your chest You'll pray that you've got something left But you can be made beautiful again Ring the bells and free the doves My dear your dress awaits Lift your eyes, don't walk with pride Your shame has washed away Your innocence went to the wind Now your shame takes hold You broke your vows, this holy love Has been jaded gray With knees curled up against your chest You'll pray that you've got something left But you can be made beautiful again Ring the bells and free the doves My dear your dress awaits Lift your eyes, don't walk with pride Your shame has washed away

We were told that war would never show Its dirty face around here But then in the night flew bombs like fireflies Lighting up the dark summer sky When they drop the bombs Keep calm and carry on, my friends For the war will end, the land will mend And lovers will dance once again Late into the night we held each other tight Wondering when the peace would end When everything we built Would shatter on the ground As stones to mark our graves When they drop the bombs Keep calm and carry on, my friends For the war will end, the land will mend And lovers will dance once again Oh, the bombs, they light the sky Oh, the bombs, they light up the sky Oh, the bombs ignite in your eyes Oh, the bombs ignite in your eyes When they drop the bombs Keep calm and carry on, my friends For the war will end, the land will mend And lovers will dance once again

Here's where the path will split Two unlit sides You go left and I'll go right And I'll see you on the other side Of the storm my friend Until then Don't get lost in the dark Don't lose sight of the light Don't get lost in the dark You'll be alright I'm learning just to walk again On my own Without holding someone's hand Or having someone warm to hold On moonless nights Stars don't shine Don't get lost in the dark Don't lose sight of the light Don't get lost in the dark You'll be alright I have seen the light I know there's relief I can see the end of this tunnel The safety of retreat Don't get lost in the dark Don't lose sight of the light Don't get lost in the dark You'll be alright

Shift Colors 04:48
Take your hat and grab your coat Raise the sails and leave your home We've seen these fields for far too long The seas will hold the drink to quench your thirst Our home has grown so cold These seas have called The wanderlust that lies inside us all Work the fields from day to day With naught to gain but wheat and grain How long will you pretend you're free Drop your chains The world, your eyes must see Our home has grown so cold These seas have called The wanderlust that lies inside us all But when you're out on the sea And home is all you need Your heart will long to go back But all the maps have washed away And all the stars grow faint Where will you return

Black Bag 04:36
I bear this burden no one should take A black bag of all the mistakes I have made I wear the chains of my former days I need someone to take that away I've got a closet full of bones Left from many years ago But they just won't go So I locked them all inside And I swallowed up the key And prayed the world would never see But they'll say no, no no, no, no, no You'll get what you deserve Mr. Hangman get your rope For the jury's cast their vote Since they've seen what's underneath And with a noose around my neck I will slowly bow my head and cry Please forgive me But they'll say no, no no, no, no, no You'll get what you deserve I bear this burden no one should take A black bag of all the mistakes I have made I wear the chains of my former days I need someone to take that away But they'll say no, no no, no, no, no You'll get what you deserve
7.
You said that we would make it And I was naive enough to believe That nothing would sink us Until the storm proved me wrong But I'll stay like the captain Who sinks with the ship That he loves too dearly To ever let go And I'll say that I'm sorry For nothing I did And I'll say that I'm sorry As you get swept away But I'll stay strong And keep holding on To the depths below I'll never let go In a hundred years You still, you'll still Be engrained in my bones But I'll stay like the captain Who sinks with the ship That he loves too dearly To ever let go And I'll say that I'm sorry For nothing I did And I'll say that I'm sorry As you get swept away But I'll stay like the captain Who sinks with the ship That he loves too dearly To ever let go So play on musicians And carry me down to my home
8.
Sleep now, darling don't you cry Someday soon the sun will kiss your eyes I know the world feels cold But summer's love soon will unfold Hold your head high above the clouds The world looks gray when you just look down Lift your eyes to the sky And see the sun shining bright There will come a rose Unfolding, oh so slow I know you've been hurt by the thorns But don't be scared to try again Don't let it hold you back All we are is just what's left From wounds we felt long ago Don't be scared to try again Just give it time to mend Give it time to mend
9.
Awake, my dear The time draws near Your lamp must not grow cold Arise, don't fear We all end here But through the door The good will go I will die in the middle of the night So I know that no one will see me letting go I will die in the middle of the night So I'll see the darkness turn to light Where will you go Where nobody know And where will you go When the end draws near (x3) I will die in the middle of the night So I know that no one will see me letting go I will die in the middle of the night So I'll see the darkness turn to light (x2)
