The Flood 01:31
[Instrumental]
2.
Our failure manifests itself In every question When you choose to fall And no one comes to call It must be the usual They must already know Where they couldn't go A painful way to grow Lacking wisdom Exposing ignorance Seems to be your bliss When finding meaning Is all I know The only difference And it is no defense Is that your opulence Has blinded you The folly of the fool Would be to trust in you That all things we do Would be safe You are standing on the shoulders Of the giants that came before you
3.
We have known the dead things We have seen the cold fog We have drawn an icy breath And we've dreamed about The taming of fire Now at last have we respite A promise of rebirth We must now sow our own seeds To ensure the reclamation of our home Our mother We've known the life fluorescent We've seen the longest days We've drawn water from the deepest wells And we've dreamed of clouds That ushered in a cool breeze Now at last have we respite A promise of dying We must now reap all we have shown To ensure the destruction of our home Our mother
4.
Unfettered 05:26
Transparent apathy Recurrent blasphemy Everything is killing me Destroyer over time Bring forward a master lie Subduer break the sky Subsolar transmogrified Close the door to empathy Ruinous apology Unwarranted Attacker Left for dead vile monster You can rest assured the pain is over You tore it completely asunder You ripped apart the only one Who cared at all for you I swear and curse your name eternally When you thought to sacrifice me Everything is killing me
5.
Just go ahead and do what you do As You torment Our love is more than this In time we wanted more Them both of us could promise Our love is more than this I know you know how much it hurts us both so When we speak with our fists This here aint fair It's sucks that no one could care Far less than you would admit
6.
Occultations 03:02
In no uncertain terms There's nothing left for us to burn When we take all that we see Only leaving a memory It's up to us to learn Around which corner we must turn A path leading us to yearn We wanted so much love from you We're sure it felt like a dying too If every word was ever true Then we'd know That it's up to us to learn Around which corner we must turn A pathway leading us to yearn
7.
Black Moon 06:51
You came here from nowhere With no invitation We invite you to leave here You're in violation What makes you think you've got the right to talk to us We've weighed your statement and found no reason to trust You spoke your peace now Please allow us to retort There are things we know and We don't care of your import Your suffering can't possibly compare To what we've endured You turned our garden into a wasteland Of the absurd We were hoping you'd just go away Like some figment of our imagination But it seems that you are really here Really here to take away all our pain Vanish back to your unblemished reality Free of the guilt and sorrow

Nights in white satin never reaching the end Letters I've written, never meaning to send Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore 'Cause I love you Yes, I love you Oh how I love you Gazing at people, some hand in hand Just what I'm going through they can't understand Some try to tell me thoughts they cannot defend Just what you want to be, you will be in the end And I love you Yes, I love you Oh how I love you Oh how I love you Nights in white satin never reaching the end Letters I've written, never meaning to send Beauty I've always missed with these eyes before Just what the truth is, I can't say any more 'Cause I love you Yes, I love you Oh how I love you Oh how I love you 'Cause I love you Yes, I love you Oh how I love you Oh how I love you ©1967 The Moody Blues

After making it through the firestorm We held our hands out For a small piece of mind At the moment we were vulnerable To a deluge set Our transgressions brought this upon us So we can't forget Everything we ever had to be is gone Why should we have to immortalize Our dead loved ones in song Everyone is gone we miss you so much We have lost all These things that define us After making through the deluge now We held our hands out again To receive but you weren't there, no Everything we ever had to be is gone Why should we have to immortalize Our dead loved ones in song We miss you so much so much So much we've lost it all
10.
I got no answers Just got many reasons Can't hide From this inner treason This life will quickly make you so cold When I put that bottle to my lips It sucks out my soul, yeah yeah Brother Darkness did I do you so wrong? Can't wait to take What helps me live on I share your empty pain And I'm sorry, you see I got not time for no helpless apathy My love is like a lone jackal's cry Teardrops on my grave The way that she fly Standing there with your head in the sky We see the world Through two different sets of eyes Deceiving others is easy you'll find Lies to yourself will be your very first crime My love is like a lone jackal's cry Teardrops on my grave The way that she fly ©1990 The Obsessed
11.
In a moment of illusion We stood in all of its grace Of vanishing pinhole vision A memory, it's only trace There were shadows dancing off every leaf The beauty started to overwhelm We felt the tendrils of our grief Encapsulating our hell The fall of the church of dragons Won't release the light Won't release the flight Won't surrender to the endless fight Into the wounded side of your might Into the desperate arms of the night Crazy in that moment we thought of you Bathed in the morning radiant amber hues So plain to see the battle between the light Won't release the light Won't release the flight Won't surrender to the endless fight Into the wounded side of your might Into the desperate arms of the night
12.
Inheritance 08:12
Hail to you inheritors of doom We've returned with a beautiful truth We know your names and who would Stand with you, with you We've brought back A fuller understanding A deep respect for your love For your suffering, why you'd wish ill upon us and why it is just, it is just We are here for you to give you A final chance for grace Please don't refuse, this is the only way We're ready to move on Beyond the heavens above
13.
For all of those years spent running away We're so sorry we couldn't help you Though we would wake another day Without you here Don't leave us alone even though we took Everything from you We can't see, we can't feel We can't take it, no more We love you but we lost you Somewhere along the way You have every right to Hate all we have done in your name But you should have been told We were trying to save us all You wanted to fight us so We pulled ourselves out of time But you should have been told We were overcome by our fear Cry out for all our brethren Cry out for all we've lost within Cry out for our lost memory Cry out forgotten history For all those years spent running away We're so sorry we couldn't help you Though we would wake another day Here without you
