The Wolf and the Hound
A tree lined avenue
And the trail of a red dress
Is all I remember
Of a once sacred place
Where winds blow hard
Through pines so tall
And stand like ghosts
In your place when you fall
When it came crashing down
Just like you said
And silence cannot replace
The voices in your head
Like statues we stand
Against the wind
Against the rain
And when our hearts lie still
They'll remember our names
Will the ides pull us down
In the time of the wolf
And the hound
Take time to look for
Traces of the past
And feel the wonder
In the things that cannot last
Between these lines
Are words like a knife
Can you see them
Cut through the perfect darkness
Of her mind
Could a word save you
If cut in stone
Could your footsteps lead you back
Where old fire burn
We'll be chasing the moon down
With old tired hearts
We are just flesh and bone
Condemned from the start
Believe the words we put down
In the time of the wolf
And the hound
Old fires burn
Leaves falling
Wolves running
Books burning
Ink flowing
Hearts beating
Souls mourning
Lives ending
Old fires burn

Ad Astra

|

Ad Astra
With those eyes
You could rule the world
Suck us into those whirlpools
With you
You watched their dreams
Be pulled asunder
It doesn't matter
Because they're going underneath
The ground
Do you dare
To cast the circle
Or be the prey
To the vulture
Above you
We set a course
For the stars
Left our lives of bolts and bars
So far behind us
To the stars
Bolts and bars
Ad astra per aspera
Laborare est orare

What Have We Done?

What Have We Done?
The howling winds
Sing your requiem
The sea washed me in
And now the tides
Want me back again
You are the song
That drives men
To their graves
Bathe in white light
Safe from decay
What have we done
The moon before the sun
Whats done cannot be undone
And our time will come
You know so much
About the things
We all crave
You hurt so much
Deep inside
Lies the blame
Walk with me black whisper
Burn with me in rapture
We'll never forget
When our time comes
What have we done?

The Witches Sabbath
05:47
|
|||
The skies parted
They came from sea
Caves and mountaintop
The black hearted
A coven strong
Old as stone
They are the wicked
The ones who cast
Shadows in your dreams
These are the stories
They told so long ago
So long ago
The witches sabbath
Is tonight
Its the sabbath
Faithfully departed
Who's souls are lost to lies
You are forgotten
As the years go by
But they live forever
No enemy to time
Unholy beauty in their eyes
In their eyes
Its the sabbath
Tonight!

Hold On
08:55
|
|||
There is a light behind you
You can never change the past
You are the reason
For the lies they tell
You don't want to be the last
Hold on
Hold on
For so long
You have no mercy for sadness
You leave a trail of death behind
You tore apart our city streets
What did you hope to find
Hold On
Hold on
For so long
Hold on
You see the lights fade
When the red road leads us home
My friends
Together forever soon.

Rambling House
Rambling with Katie (Poitin)
Danced with the fairies
The small green king
The moonshines in
Rambling House

Red Wine and Candlelight
07:43
|
|||
She is the sun on the horizon
And I am the night
The moon is colour of ragged bone
She likes red wine and candlelight
She likes red wine
In the dead of the night
My red wine
The world is a cold and a lonely place
Where no road leads you home
You search the crowd for a friendly face
She likes red wine and candlelight
She likes red wine
In the dead of the night
My red wine.

Bleeding Heart
09:25
|
|||
Fate has come to steal your dreams
She knows the secrets that
You tried to conceal
Bleeding heart
Bleed for me
All I ever wanted
Is someone understands us
Stare right through me
And follow a bleeding heart
Follow a bleeding heart
Time will tell where we're going to
A road straight to hell
I'll see you there
Bleeding heart
Bleed for me
All I ever wanted
Is someone understands us
Stare right though me
And follow a bleeding ...
The ocean doesn't want you
Back again
The sky is falling in on you
Once again
You'll see all about it
We're back again
The ocean - it doesn't want you
Back again.

Burn Me Down
04:41
|
|||
Skin and bone and broken teeth
Line the streets
Of the city that I built for you
A bad road led me to this town
Where the ghosts tried to burn me down
Burn me down
Thieves and liars
Cheats and murder too
My world next door to you
If our paths cross and you see me around
I'm too strong now for you to burn me down
Burn me down

People of the Meadow
07:16
|
|||
We came down from the mountain
And we crossed the sea
Many miles between us
And friends we'd never seen
People of the meadow
My people and me
People of the meadow
A sweet memory
Borders on the road
Caged heart, free soul
You can't lock up our minds
Smoke is rising, we're by your side
People of the meadow
My people and me.

Backstage Hotel Blues
05:38
|

These Backstage Hotel blues
All good things must end
But we are here now
That's good enough my friend
My friends
With my friends
Twenty flights of stairs
A window river bend
Laughing but I'm sad
Why does this have to end?
Golden fields
Fly past like the years
We're flying like the years
We'll do it all again
No palace in a rage
Angelo is dead
A camel on the stage
I got no sleep
Border bread is sweet

The Eleventh Hour
09:19
|

The Eleventh Hour
As the eleventh hour closed in
She faced the night
Alone.
And she felt it
On her skin,
So many times
Before.
These memories are like
Burnt bridges to your past
No more
Reaching back too far
We'll chase the night
Before
Our hearts slow down
Turn life around
We'll chase the night
Once more
When the night
Is on the wing
And makes us all
Her own
The road's the
Only holy thing
Left in this world
For us
When rain comes down
Turn the clock around
The rain comes down
Time was never on our side
But we kept our heads above the water
The wolf was always at the door
But we tried to always pay on time
We can't turn back the clock
But we can hold onto each other
We'll fall ten million times
But we'll rise on each others shoulders
My friend I am by your side
We will face this world together.
