Cardinal Sin

Some appear
One comes near
Frightened ways?
Calm the rest of your days.
Though you fear to leave your cage
Small it gets with age.
Leave your prison behind
Much more light you will find
Watch the skies open
Let the beauty of truth fall in.
And you will
See the shame of the past
Now let go of it fast.
All the rest of you
Follow suit for the final win.
"But I can't begin.
It's a cardinal sin."

Stay With Me
04:03
|
|||
|
Please leave the light on
Because it's dark as the night
And I need to see your face
So I know it's alright.
A battle cry
The alibi
The bitter cold
Or so we're told.
But you can stay with me tonight.

Tightrope
06:07

On a fine drawn line stand I
Looking down to the left and right of me
And I must be walking high
For the souls below I cannot see.
But they see one another
And I just disappear
And which way I should go is not so clear.
Should I just fall?
Or should I move along?
If I choose the balance, would I be wrong?
In silence, carry on
With these words and this song?
So I look down to the right:
Crossed arms and closed eyes.
On the left, no silent night:
Burning tires and dirty fights.
In the center, my reflection.
But I can't understand
The path of resolution in my hands.
"Keep your head up high,
Straight across the sky.
Know you cannot fly"
And down I fall...

Last Mandolin Ballad

|
The river's force
The devil's course.
How I try, but never win.
The howling beast.
The lover's feast.
We're all drunk on sin.
You say good-bye.
I wonder why
All we've wanted is lost.
It's time to fight.
You know I'm right.
Let us not count the cost.

"Goodnight to all the city lights.
Goodnight to all the towers bright still glorified by satellite.
And those who occupy the alleyways.
And those who claim malaise, but are living glory days"
So I look upon the kingdom that had lit the spark.
A spark that led to fire in the street.
And I think about the life on the other side.
And the life that I once thought was incomplete.
There's a truth that can't be reckoned by a verifying second,
So the other coast that loved the most has looked, and now has beckoned.
That door is always open, and it's time that I awoken
From dreams that lie here broken, unspoken...

Deny The Sun
04:01

I thought I saw those words.
I'll read them again a little more slowly
And take better care in what they say.
To some they speak the truth.
To others, they read a lot like a fiction.
And some just wish it go away.
Those on the right see only beauty there.
A beauty they'll never know.
But I'm not one to follow only pretty words
And poetry of times gone by
Now buried far below.
The sun is finally up.
A million years of dark and the cold and
My eyes are hurting from the light.
I can't deny the sun,
While others prefer to live in the shadow
And are awakened by the night.
Though we have left the caves to touch the moon,
Our eyes watching further still,
I'll never understand the thinking that
It's better in the darkest caves.
I guess I'll never will.
