Take me out to the shore, calm me down
Bathe my hair, clear my lungs, soak my eyes
Spilling out just like oil into the sea
My shattered heart and withered dreams

I’m breathing

Building up, washing through, rolling off
Waves are high and the tide pulls

I’m breathing

Whispering through the wind, building sound:
Stormy sea don’t let me drown

A N E W R E I G N

Bring your tears and bring your sorrows
Bring your doubt, bring all your fears
Lay them down beneath my scepter
I’ll dub you knight, I’ll make you queen

Take this crown
Wear it down

Rise with strength and rise with color
Rise with wings, out of the ash
Let your newfound power guide you
I’ve dubbed you knight, I’ve made you queen

Take this crown
Wear it down

Reign in courage, reign in wisdom
Reign with angels singing praise
Walk the earth as touched with fire
With borrowed knives you reign as queen

Take this crown
Wear it down

I’ve carried the world on my shoulders for too long

Take this crown
Wear it down

S A L T T H E E A R T H

To tear, to harm and to wound
To scar, to wreck and to ruin
To burn, to break and to decay
To wilt, to ache and to succumb, to succumb

Fall for me, let your heart surrender and just
Fall for me, let your world be shattered, simply
Fall for me, and when the dust has settled
We will salt the earth

To rise, to mend and to prevail
To heal, rebuild and to stay, dare to stay

I bear these scars, this ruptured heart
A Phoenix trapped, caught in the ashes
The ruins tell the tales of the fallen
The wreckage sounds the fate of lovers

Fall for me, let your heart surrender and just
Fall for me, let your world be shattered, simply
Fall for me, and when the dust has settled
We will salt the earth
To rise, to mend and to prevail
To heal, rebuild and to stay

Just one moment
A blink of an eye
Just one moment
A small crack in time
One second defining and closing the book
Stories unwritten, pages untouched

It’s all about blood
How it flows through
Like an echo of you
Just like marrow and bones
How they carry you through
How the ycarry you

I stare at the mirror
You look back at me
A familiar creature
Altered by grief
All of my inners have been rearranged
All cells replaced, I have aged, I have changed

It’s all about blood
How it flows through
Like an echo of you
Just like marrow and bones
How they carry you through
How they carry you

It’s all about marrow, all about bones
Embracing your strength, embracing your strength
It’s all about blood, it’s all about blood
Its rhythm, an echo of you

P A R T O F T H I S

When the sun sets and it’s fire
Is ripping up the sky
The night floods the land like black oil
This darkness’ flowing through me
It has a taste for blood
I am pinned down and defenseless

Part of this
You can never never ever be a part of this

In the turmoil of the shadows
Stars, like stroboscopic lights
I’ve never known a storm so violent

Part of this
You can never never ever be a part of this

When dawn breaks in a new world
I stumble through debris
In the wreckage, and the ruins.

Part of this
You can never never ever be a part of this

When the harsh light scorns the sky
I sway with thermal ghosts and memories caught in silhouettes

Part of this
You can never never ever be a part of this

We believe our hearts to be red and rebellious
Believe our hearts to be wild
We believe our love to be hungry and heavenly primal

Let me fall into your arms
Into the memory of thousand lovers
Call the angels, call them all
Let them envy our absolution

We believe our hearts to be red and rebellious
Believe our hearts to be wild
We believe our love to be hungry and heavenly primal

Let our passion scorch the earth
Let it rest in wreckage and in ruins
Call the angels, bring them forth
Let them witness our retribution

We believe our hearts to be red and rebellious
Believe our hearts to be wild
We believe our love to be hungry and heavenly primal

We are slaying angels
Setting them on fire
Sending our message to God
We are hunting demons
Putting them on trial
Sending them to heaven above

We believe our hearts to be red and rebellious
Believe our hearts to be wild
We believe our love to be hungry and heavenly primal

THE WRITING’S ON THE WALL
I feel the continents shifting
I feel the pull of the ocean
I feel how gravity’s fading
I feel torn

I see the sun set for the last time
I see the moon slowly shatter
I see angels dance with devils
I see the writings
The writing’s on the wall
I know the earth will stop turning
I know the stars will burn and fall
I know when night sets it will stay dark
I know all
The writing’s on the wall

S O L A C E
Coming out of darkness, a winter lasting years
The wind is finally heading east
Branches clad in sunlight, leaves awakening
Their shadows dancing on my skin

Bathe in light
Bathe in bright light
Solace and I close my eyes
Shed my skin, moving on
Resting in the arms of dawn

Softening my armor, embrace serenity
This shift, a balm, a sweet relief
Holding on to sunlight, grasping blades of grass
Feel the texture on new skin

Bathe in light
Bathe in bright light
Solace and I close my eyes
Shed my skin, moving on
Resting in the arms of dawn

Scents of luminescence warm my tired mind
Melts the veil of numbness, makes my skin hum
I know this state is fragile, but I will try to
Stay still, bask in the sun, let all sorrows fade

Bathe in light
Bathe in bright light
Solace and I close my eyes
Shed my skin, moving on
Resting in the arms of dawn

L E T H E ’ S B R A M B L E
In a world uncertain
You’re the one, the only
In my arms, my darling,
You’re my anchor, baby oh…

Pray soft words, make me forget
You dealt the cards, I played ‘em through
Seal my fate, know no regrets
Start again, build something new

Be my light, my level
Guide me through the night
I’ll be your knight, your haven
I will carry you ’til dawn

Pray soft words, make me forget
You dealt the cards, I played ‘em through
Seal my fate, know no regrets
Start again, build something new

Holding on ‘til my hands bleed
Held my breath ‘til I had to breath

B U R N I N G A U T U M N S K I E S
Springtime makes my hungry blood run wild and soar
Urges me to run, to hunt, to conquer all
Spring is rushing through me like a violent force
Springtime is a ticking bomb

I dream of burning autumn skies
I dream of woodland set on fire
I dream of days with lesser hours,
of auburn earth and flowers scorned

Summer is a promise made of dust and ash
Summer is a viper hiding in the grass
Summer is the lie that made me lose my mind
Summer is a brutal time

I dream of burning autumn skies
I dream of woodland set on fire
I dream of days with lesser hours,
of auburn earth and flowers scorned
I dream of gleaming crystal moors
I dream of trees like hollow ghosts
I dream of snow so harsh and bright
I dream of dancing northern lights

Autumn is a kindhearted, warm embrace
Shielding me from guilt and shame and restlessness
Autumn is a chance to wipe your soiled slate clean
Autumn is a sacred place
Heaven is a winter day
Heaven is a cold night
It’s a fire made
It’s a starlit sky
Heaven is slow falling snow
Heaven is a frozen lake
It’s a breath of air
It is glorious

They need our blood to fill the streets now
They say defiance leads to danger
We have been to hell and back now
We’ve met with demons, seen the devil
We need your heart we need your soul now
We know indifference leads to grief
You need all courage left inside now
Stand your ground and show your teeth
We’ll be the spanner in their grim works
We’ll be the gravel in their sore eyes
We’ll be their headache in the morning
We’ll be the thunder on a clear day
We’ll be their nightmares after midnight
We’ll be the trouble they can’t handle
We’ll be the hungry hounds released
You need all courage left inside now
Stand your ground and show your teeth

U N D E R M Y S P E L L
Like a darkened cloud
In a wild sky
Darling I’m a hurricane
Can you feel it?
Breeding up a storm
Building tension
You just prepare to swoon
Do you believe in love?
To be reconciled
Forced to compromise
Darling, it’s not in the cards
Oh can you feel it?
Thunder in my head
Echo what you said
Ripping out my heart
Do you believe in love?
Come dawn I swear I’m putting your heart on the line
With a curse so cold and wicked even Beelzebub is surprised
With sandalwood and blood of lamb I’ll do what it takes
When you find what rules beneath you, you’ll be under my spell
Frozen to the bone?
Hell will keep you warm
Darling I’m a bed of coals
Oh can you feel it?
In the darkest time
Faith is in decline
The Devil’s waiting now
Do you believe in love?
My voice so close you feel my breath upon your skin
You can try to turn me down but Darling know you cannot win
It’s this crazy love, this crazy war, this crazy ache within
This aint no blessing it’s a nightmare, it’s my curse that you’re caught in

G R A V I T Y
We took a wrong turn, travelled way to fast to slow down
With every curve the weight of gravity turns us blind
Can you believe the speed of world destruction?
Can you feel the pull of gravity?
I touch the surface and it turns to dust
It’s all gone now
The angels laughing as our drivers are soaked in brew
Reality’s a source of madness through and through
Can you believe the speed of world destruction?
Can you feel the pull of gravity?
I touch the surface and it turns to dust
It’s all gone now
Took a wrong turn with every curve
The weight of gravity’s holding me down

Take your heart and pin it to your sleeve
Wear it with honor, wear it with hunger
A soul with pride and passion is an army
One set of sworn lungs, one million voices
Hear me roar, I howl
I’m a legion, I’m a choir
Hear my deep dark moan
I’m a choir, hardwired
When you feel your struggle is a lost cause
Remember the echo, magnify your desires
When you feel your struggle is a lost cause
Remember the first time you fought back and you won
When you’re heavy hearted
And so tired your eyes hurt
When you’re out of breath
And every single word’s been bled dry
When you think you are
the only sane one left standing
Take a deep breath
Close your eyes
Put your lungs to work
Hear me roar, I howl
I’m a legion, I’m a choir
Hear my deep dark moan
I’m a choir, hardwired

W H E N T H E S T R E E T C A L L S
Keep the fire
Feed the flame
Let your mind be scorching
Keep defying
Feed the grit
Never stop unravelling
A call to all – resist!
When the street calls – come on!
You take my name
And wipe it clean out
And tell me it’s over
Tell me it’s over
I tend to my wounds
I tend to my heart
This is the beginning
Just the beginning
Go with your heart
Walk with pride
Tend to your desires
Keep on dancing
Keep the beat
Tend to your feet, rebel
Cry your heart out
Keep the tears
Tend to your scars soldier
It’s not over!
Keep the fire
Keep defying
Keep unravel
Don’t keep quiet
Keep your love and
Keep your anger
Raise your head and
Keep on marching
Tend to your heart
Tend to your mind
Tend to your scars
Tend to your fearlessness and
Keep the fire
Keep defying

Take me to the river
Take me to the heart of all waters
I remember the wind
It came from the north
With the water
Traveling east
I remember my breath
Turning to ice
As I exhaled
Into the night
Take me to the river
Take me to the heart of all waters
I remember the sound
Thunder and cracks
When the winter
Came to an end
I remember the fear
The dam would break
With the cold stream
Unleashing its’ wrath
Take me to the river
Take me to the heart of all waters

It’s invisible when whispers turn to war
It’s a punch line, it’s a line crossed
How could we not know the consequences?
How could we not see?
Aching full of scars
I’m a civil war
It’s inescapable to go from words to deed
It’s a deadly phrase, a raptured spleen
How could we not know the consequences?
How could we not see?
Aching full of scars
I’m a civil war
It is deafening when violence turns to law
It’s aloudvoice, it’s a blizzard storm
How could we not know the consequences?
How could we not see?

If you close your eyes you will find a fire
It is blind of heartache, it is ripe with anger
You will find a fire
They might bind my hands
They might blind my eyes
Tie me down with lies
The might take my day
Leave me in the dark
But never tame my heart
If you close your eyes you will find a fire
The core is blue from sorrow
The rim, it glows from fighting
You will find a fire
If you close your eyes you will find a fire
It is filled with courage
It is rid of nightmares
You will find a fire

H U N T I N G
I’m going hunting
One mighty pray
Waist deep in dark thoughts
Waist deep in clay
Head up the mountain
Search every crack
To find my monster
Throw her off my back
Higher, you’ve got to go higher
It aint no black wolf
It aint no stray
Gonna catch the devil
Gonna give her hell
