Orphan's Curse 03:45
lyrics
buy track
And now I have done a dreadful deed for all the world I had killed the sun The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew for all the world I had killed the sun. I close my eyes and keep them closed An orphans curse I drag to hell The look of hate of which they looked at me The ice was here, the ice was there It cracked and growled and roared and howled It screamed aloud like voices from the deep. I cannot speak, I cannot breathe the spirits haunts me so A nightmare in life and death I see The scattered masts, the naked wrecks, they crawl alongside me A nightmare in life and death I see I close my eyes and keep them closed An orphans curse I drag to hell The look of hate of which they looked at me The ice was here, the ice was there It cracked and growled and roared and howled It screamed aloud like voices from the deep.

Your Disguise 03:15
lyrics
buy track
You look at me with sad and lonely eyes you talk to me of all that you despise you come to me and try to patronize but don't you know that you could lead a better life Comatose through all your lies Only happy stepping out in your disguise Looking back at your advise Another turn that lead to your demise She looks at me with laughing sultry eyes she turns me on but it's always compromised she comes to me with her games and is surprised with all the strain that goes along with her life He tells me all I need to know about his plans He still believes that he can be a better man It could have been so different in another time I start to see the lines grow deeper around his eyes Comatose through all your lies Only happy stepping out in your disguise Looking back at your advise Another turn that lead to your demise I sit alone in this overcrowded town and see the circles in my glass swim around I ask myself why I chose to sick around when I have seen so many others sink and drown

Je m'endors je m'endors et j'ai froid et j'ai faim Le soleil est couché je suis bien loin d'la maison Qu'avez-vous oui belle blonde? Qu'avez vous oui belle brune? Quand c'est tout pour la blonde et pa'rien pour la brune Quand c'est tout pour la blonde et pa'rien pour la brune Ah les jeunes de Crowley sont toujours dans les ch'mins Sont toujours dans les ch'mins a chercher à mal faire Avec la cruche au pommeau la ferraille dans les poches Toujours dans le ch'mins à chercher à mal faire Toujours dans le ch'mins à chercher à mal faire Je m'endors je m'endors et j'ai froid et j'ai faim Le soleil est couché je suis bien loin d'la maison Bye bye belle blonde bye bye belle brune Quand c'est tout pour la blonde et pa'rien pour la brune Quand c'est tout pour la blonde et pa'rien pour la brune

New Voice 03:35
lyrics

This is not easy for me why the hell is it so hard Try to deal with this madness and it takes me to far Do we need a new reason Do we need a new voice When it starts to ugly And it's time for a choice Do we need a new answer Is this as far as we've come Come and drink at this table Help your self, turn and run Do we need a new reason Do we need a new voice When it starts to ugly And it's time for a choice Do we need a new reason Do we need a new voice Is it time for another Is it time for a choice Do we need a new reason Do we need a new voice When it starts to ugly And it's time for a choice

There's no lamp alight No glimmer through the night A passing ship had brought the news Winters day Broke blue and brilliant bright As we lost all track of time There all silent now you know There all silent now you know There all silent now you know There all silent now you know As we reach the lonely, barren isles we stole beneath the hanging cliffs And each of us with black, forbidding eyes wonder all to dread for words There all silent now you know There all silent now you know There all silent now you know There all silent now you know All too soon we reached the lighthouse door that was left for us ajar Though we searched and hunted high and low the three men's fate we found no trace

Devil's Bridge 04:19
lyrics
buy track
One late summer's eve in the lowland The devil so tired and bored I need someone new to amuse me A soul to lighten my load I'll travel the world for my pleasure And visit a faraway land Where nature is bursting with treasure I'll search and collect what I can A week or so thereafter He came to a wonderful land Rivers running down ledges Like silver on fair maidens hands Upon him came an old woman Her eyes were filled up with tears He said: tell me your worries And told her to lose all her fears The devils bridge, stands strong and tall The devils gone forever more She pointed at all of her cattle Lost on the rivers wrong side There is nowhere for me to cross over The dangerous current will ride But fear not my gentle old woman For I will build you a bridge Remember now it's a bargain The first soul to cross I will keep Oh well thought the worldly old woman Only the future will tell She promptly returned at first sun light With a trusty old stray by her side As soon as she came to the river She could not believe her own eyes A bridge so handsome and solid From nowhere seemed to arise The devils bridge, stands strong and tall The devils gone forever more And now said the cunning old devil You must give me my prize So slowly she walked to the edge With the trusty old stray by her side But then she drew from her pocket A loaf and tossed it across The stray chased thereafter The first living soul to cross Oh no, cried the shamed old devil I have no use for your stray You need to honour your bargain The woman replied with a wave And here my friends ends the story The devil would never return To the land of the mist covered mountains Where the bridge in his memory remain The devils bridge, stands strong and tall The devils gone forever more

Phantome Lines 03:28
lyrics
buy track
hantom lines, control the wilderness the monochrome world of the night silent life moving within me dispel the the tight, growing knots of pain Freeing chains Freeing strains Freeing chains Freeing pains The quiet truth, grew in confidence Stopped me from being overwhelmed Completely neutral, completely unperturbed Sincerity and wast duplicity Freeing chains Freeing strains Freeing chains Freeing pains Forgotten souls, floating trough the air Borrowed lies, wakes me from the past Remember me, walking through the lanes Chasing dreams and stealing them away Freeing chains Freeing strains Freeing chains Freeing pains
