Seven degrees and stolen melodies And in the darkness You sing to me in silence The world is burning down And no one cares no more and no one's listening And all around you see waves of apathy, the captain's missing And heavy hangs the sword, and no one wants the crown This world will break your heart This world will break you down A lonely whisper, the angels listen An axe, an arrow, a sword, a sparrow Your eyes, your echoes, your drowning sorrows The secrets you hide, the scent of the rain The light is bending, we're all pretending The saviour's coming to save us from ourselves The love you tasted, the heart you wasted The misconception of your narrative Well overcome this and don't become a victim of the hype machine

Honey 02:09
Honey when all of her loving starts Honey a honeycomb for a heart And the wind howls through me The wind howls

North Star 03:07
Sticks and stones You're skin, you're bones You're on your own in this life So make your revenge and make your amends It don't change the end of this strife 'Cause you are, you are the north star In the night sky tonight Forget your mistakes and give up your ways When they're all you've known The fire inside, the fire you hide The love you've shown 'Cause you are, you are the north star In the night sky tonight And do you think that the sun will shine a light at the end of the tunnel?

[For MJ] You say you knew his face when he was young But you never knew him for who he really was Cue the horns and the bells and the strings Oh and let us hail the new king Oh did you think love was an easy thing You could save for a better day? If you were fickle and were vain That love would still remain and then you see It fade so easily Did you lose, did you win, did you ever begin? All the prisons you build, did you see that they'd be filled? Does it change, feel the same, when you've got no one to blame? Does it pain you to say you wanted him to stay? Standing in his halo when your heart is low And you're on your own, and you've got nowhere to go Crowds gathered 'round when the king had died And though now you cry, when he was still alive You tore him down and spit upon his crown Funny how your tune is different now The melody has changed, the notes been rearranged I still believe the truth will set you free

Mauve 04:45
I saw you tangled in the spotlight I saw you, you were dressed in all white Your blush responses they pardon your crimes Your wild horses run courses in my head My lioness I felt you in the wind this evening I felt the wind as you were leaving Your wild horses run courses in my head Your wild horses run courses through my head I watched you wander in the garden And saw your steps were without caution Your blush responses they pardon your crimes Your wild horses run courses through my head And you paint my dreams You lioness

La Vipera 04:43
Questa storia e' nel passato Il nostro eroe e' un villano Cantando lirica rubata Parlando male in italiano Fra il rumore e lo statico Sento il tuo nome Ricordandomi quando la tua anima era libera Addio a tutti quegl'anni di sprezzatura Da ora in poi chiamami la vipera Il leone e la vergine Il fantasma e le onde Nell'angolo la luna Nell'angolo sola Seduta in paradiso Vestita in Ferragamo Leggendo "Das Capital" E fumando Marlboro menthols I nostri padri soffrirono per niente Da ora in poi chiamami la vipera Addio a tutti quegl'anni di sprezzatura Da ora in poi chiamami la vipera

Silver Leaf 04:53
Your eyes tell me lies Blood and water that try to disguise You say you can change your heart And twist it into the shape that I want You say does it fade away? Where can you stay? And where can you go? Well I don't know And all the terrible things that we do To each other the bending of truth Can you fake it and fade it away another day? You say does it fade away? Where can you stay? And where can you go? Well I don't know And you came into the world afraid It changed your heart It changed your name The burning flames The pearly gates You are so strange We never change

Monterey 04:58
and the bones in her back make a map that I wander in the deadest dark of the night and her eyes make a track black to brown white to black every detail alive in the light oh and I ask myself is this permanent or is it fleeting like the moon in the light? do you long for the sea do you long for the shore do you long for peace do you long for war? do you give up the ghost or drown your sorrows can we have it both ways? you can't have it both ways so tie me down to the track to the train of your thoughts play your tricks play your games I don't care just remain in my sight in the light black ships in the night are you loyal to one? are you loyal to one? and all the things we forget and every sin we commit washed away to the sea to the shore to the beach show me goals show me schemes show me patterns purpose means do we wander astray or get lost along the way? bring me back to the path to the track to the map to her eyes white and black and the bones in her back

Zürich 05:27
In your eyes the world's on fire And everyone plays a violin Out of tune and out of rhythm We're all too afraid of the silence And you tell yourself This is what you expected From Moscow to LA From the cradle to the grave And all the promises we make You know they mean nothing in the end And we can bridge the ocean, we can bridge the sea But your anthem was the last hope for me And you're an animal and your will has never been free From Hanoi to Taipei From the cradle to the grave And all the promises we make You know all I want is your honesty And you realize the world is lies And the soul is just a fake And every word gets scrutinized, every move you make Are we too paralyzed to live a life that ends at any breath we take? Like tears in the rain Eyes in the crowd Your voice in the snow Promises we break
