Purify 04:49
lyrics

Smoke and mirrors Peel off the veil Tear down the wall Before you all fall down...down Meat off the bone Flesh of the soul Come out of your house See who's not around anymore...now Don't follow me Don't rescue me Don't wipe my tears Don't cry my dear Walk away Don't stay with me The devil may care But not today Purify Our actions in fire The Ashes glow And we get thrown Wrecking ball Breaking through the ground The future has arrived Just in the nick of time...yeah When lightning strikes And sometimes twice You feel the burn more Leave your old skin behind...close the door Don't follow me Don't rescue me Don't wipe my tears Don't cry my dear Walk away Don't stay with me The devil may care But not today Purify Our actions in fire The ashes glow And we get thrown --into the wind --into the sea --into the fire...alive again --into the wind --into the sea --into the fire --Purify --Purify again --Purify again --Purify again

1,000 Dreams 04:52
lyrics

To the beat of a hundred drums Believe in a thousand things To the beat of a hundred drums A sky of prayers that falls on me Who is your God Don't pray to me Or the "prophet" on TV Who will save you From yourself Your faith in faith And nothing else, if nothing else To the din of a million schemes The beat of angel wings To the cry of a billion screams I will sing--yes I will sing Prove to me Why you believe I know there's something that we can't see It's what we feel And what we dream It's in our minds... 1000 dreams To the street paved with golden dreams The Virgin's children leave In the heat of the desert mosque The hiss of the war machines...ssssssst Prove to me Why you believe I know there's something that we can't see It's what we feel And what we dream It's in our minds... 1000 dreams...believe in me 1000 dreams It's what we feel not what we see 1000 dreams believe in me it's what what we see not what we feel It's in our hearts, it's in our minds 1000 dreams believe in me Believe in me Believe in me!

Terminission 05:04
lyrics

We-we signed our leases Bought our coffins For the end And we-we dug our own graves Made our own beds To lie in We talk in riddles We worship false idols And single out the weak We shoot black smoke in the sky Numb ourselves by getting high And turn the other cheek We-we filed our papers Prayed to Jesus Save our skin And we-we gave the children All the problems To deal with Terminission If we terminate the mission We can save our skin Terminission If we terminate the mission We can save our skin ...Our skin We-we signed our leases Bought our coffins For the end And we-we dug our own graves Made our own beds To lie in Terminission If we terminate the mission We can save our skin Terminission If we terminate the mission We can save our skin... ...Our skin ...Our skin ...Skin

Dark Naked 05:28
lyrics

Dark Naked by a fireplace By a roaring hearth --fire and ice Dark Woods by a trickling stream By a starving deer --blood and water Crouched and Naked by a soft-lit lamp With a hand outstretched And a glimmer of hope Just a glimmer of hope The sound of a newborn's scream Back from a trip to pain ...Pain Dark Naked by your own accord By an open door --Bitter and cold Stark Naked in a hole somewhere Deep in a core --No one can hear Buck Naked by a burning house Where fear is a taste You can smell the decay Can you smell the decay?... The sound of a newborn's scream Back from a trip to pain ...Pain Sex and Death lie alone by yourself The roses the thorns the lies --The lies --The cries --The lies --The cries Sex and Death, sex and Death Death and Life, death and life

Before I Disappear 07:17
lyrics
buy track
I need some help I've fallen overboard Reach for me Before I disappear...Before I disappear Stand in for me I need a rest now The party's over Before I said my goodbye's...Before I said my good bye The Fall is long How far I've traveled Wish for me Before I disappear...Before I disappear They tried to hold me down But I have broken free I slipped out through the handcuffs Shackled inside of me The chains have been undone The doors have opened wide I'm splashing through the darkness I'm walking to the lights And it leads me home to you It leads me home to you Takes me all the way to Heaven\ And it leads me to your arms one more time --(Repeats over and over til fade end)

The band released their debut studio EP, The Beating Of The Wings , in early 2010, followed by a full length LP entitled The Station in fall 2011. ... more
