Low Moon 04:26
Low moon follow me home Hanging around all night I know How it feels to be down Low moon watching me with one eye You keep half your face hidden Hooded in the night Low moon Low moon Prowling the city skyline Playing hide and seek Biding your time Eavesdropping in on me Eavesdropping in on me Wandering satellite Lost polar star Adrift in the nights Ink black sea Calling out To me Low moon shine your light Our paths don’t cross as often These days as I’d like Low moon Low moon Low moon

Lift the caul that Veils my eyes From false gods unnecessary lies As true as delicate As a spider’s thread the will o the wisp draws me Across hell’s half acres Night terrors Night terrors In the twilight of dusk The maize pulled from its husk A feast of souls In the sunset gold A serpent can’t rest Until the sun sets The bulrushes sound The nights murky depths Night terrors Night terrors I talk in my sleep I walk in my sleep The Will o the wisp draws me Across hell’s half acres Take flight into the night Drawn like a moth’s eye Towards the moonlight The devil take the hindmost Night terrors Night terrors

Mistakes 03:30
I make mistakes But everything’s in it's right place Tied together by moments I'm lead by my senses I blur the lines Like looking out the window Of a car driving by By white picket fences I blur the lines I make mistakes I make mistakes But everything’s is in it's right place Tied together by The lies That betray the truth About the love Between me and you I blur the lines I make mistakes I make mistakes I make mistakes I make mistakes I make mistakes

The days i have seen The way things have been You wove your sorcery around me And all i brought myself to do was brood, And stew over you And i know that you knew The way you shook those hips The way you licked your lips My head still spins from your tricks Despite myself i’ve always known That when i’m with you We’re never so alone You wove your sorcery around me And all i brought myself to do was brood, And stew over you And i know you knew Despite myself i’ve always known That when i’m with you We’re never so alone

Promise me that you will keep This between you and me I believe that you would be Best kept secret You could be my best kept secret and I will keep you all to myself Through sickness through health Through songs and through wealth Just for me will you keep Best kept secret Don’t run away I stalk my prey You’d be lucky to live to regret the day Just stay with me stay hidden away And i will keep the hounds at bay Best kept secret Promise me by day that You will watch what you say And like a blinded bird I’ll let you sing all night Don’t put up a fight Promise you won’t tell I will keep you under my spell Through heaven through hell Through wedding bells Just for me will you keep Best kept secret

Pompeii 03:56
The shine in the shadows Swings like a swinging pendulum Its flickering light comes Through the trees The torch lit Tinderstick So light a fire in the heather And flush out the adder’s Where the smoke floats like feathers From ash to ash To ember to ember Petrified town Buried stories underground Pompeii Autumn leaves alight the ground The wind stokes the coals of this burning town The tree limbs tattooed with the seasons past Like shadows in the hourglass So light a fire in the heather And flush out the adder’s Where the smoke floats like feathers From ash to ash To ember to ember In a petrified town Stories underground Pompeii Ash to ash, ember to ember, ash to ash, ember to / Ember, ash to ash, ember to ember, ash to ash, em / Ber to ember, ash to ash, ember to ember, ash to / Ash, ember to ember, ash to ash, ember to ember /

I fly my plane kamikaze Into a ball of flames mars leaps Into the sun to kingdom come From the tides of ash burnt in the urn And with the washed ashore wreckage I’ll rise a young phoenix with so much to learn The past resonates The future hesitates There’s a long way to go To start again An empty vessel at birth Breaking into new verse Learning to lose, learning to Burn in a baptism of fire Chasing my ashes ‘cross the pyre Where once were flames Only embers remain The past initiates The future deviates There’s a long way to go To start again There's a long way To start again The past disintegrates The future regenerates There’s a long way to go To start again I fly my plane kamikaze Into a ball of flames mars leaps Into the sun to kingdom come

Something is stirring Beneath the horizon A monolithic iceberg In the frozen ocean Its bowers only open Into the night Babe can you hear the rain love On our window pane Lightning is striking Just out of reach from our eyes On the crest of the horizons sky And we can hear the bellows of the storm But maybe it will never come Babe can you hear the rain love On our window pain Babe can you hear the rain love On our window Babe can you hear the rain love On our window Babe can you hear the rain love On our window pane
