01. So Much For Sleep

Welcome to the distance
Welcome to your hole
Just lie down and think
The same old thoughts you can't control
You're not crazy
Just insane
Lying to the lunatic
Who lives inside your brain

Might pray tonight

This could be the moment
The one that never ends
A night so long it seems the sun
May never rise again
No more dreams
No more sleep
Welcome to the future
Where you're buried twice as deep

Might pray tonight
Take me tonight

02. You Know Me

You know me
I can't be in the light for long
Close your eyes
Once my face at the window is gone
You know me
I'm the shiver you always feel
I'm still here
Now you know your fears are real

This night
You see
All life
Is me

Six six six

You know me
I'm the one who's always there
Mark your time
Soon we go to you-know-where
I know you
We won't make it through the night
Run to hell
Drag you over the pits of light

This night
You see
All life
Is me

03. The Devil

One year we marched together
Through the ripping rains
We looked to one another
As we pushed ahead in chains
One night I said, "Tomorrow,
I can find my own way home"
And I know that something followed me
That night I walked alone

In darkness I awakened
To a devil in my home
I drowned him in the water
I ground him with the stone
I threw him in the fire
Put the ashes in a hole
But somewhere in the woods that night
He somehow got my soul

04. Swing Hard

I may see death tonight
You may be there
I may fly high again
In midnight air

I see them
In sickness
I see them watching me

In graveyards late tonight
Too dead to dream
There's no escape tonight
Or so it seems

I see them
In sickness
I see them watching me

I dream of a mountain
To rise from the sea
Then I soar into sunlight
Born to be free
I don't know
I don't know
I dream so desperately

It must take a lifetime
To get it all in line
And want what you find
I look to the nighttime
To unchain the mind
And leave dreaming behind

05. Cataract

Hear me
Hear me
I saw them drown that night
Swept out of sight to sea
Oh, I call to them
Echoes in waves of me

Cry for me
Fly in and cry for me
Oh, it's not to be
They never come to me

06. Like An Earthquake

I took the vow
I spoke it silently
It drags me down
Each day it sickens me
I took the bait
I took it happily
It keeps me great
It's here right next to me

I understand
I get the mystery
This was not the plan
But I chose differently
I lost the score
Looks like a tie to me
Just shut the door
Let's say goodbye to me

It feels like an earthquake
Tearing through my heart
It shakes me every day
And I know now the first time
Was really just the last
There's something in the way

07. All I See

Everybody in this room
Everybody better listen
Because I am the one
I make the difference
It's me you've gotta listen to

Because I see demons
It's all I see
I see demons
That's all I see
I see demons
It's all I see
This world of evil
That's all I see

If you can't have ghosts
Then you've only got the devil
And I told you before
I walk through fucking fire
Every day
You can smell it on my skin
Cause it burns me hard

I see demons
It's all I see
God damn demons
That's all I see
I see demons
It's all I see
This world so evil
That's all I see

Amen

08. Old Wizard

He creeps along
In shadows on the hill
I think I can see him
When I'm not feeling well
I wander forward
Toward magic I can't find
I see him coming
With answers on his mind

Old wizard
Walk tonight
Hear my voice
And make me right
Old wizard
Speak to me
Take my hand
And let me see

Out in the distance
Somewhere lies his home
He lives forever
He lives alone

Old wizard
Walk tonight
Hear my voice
And make me right
Old wizard
Speak to me
Take my hand
And let me see

Old wizard

09. Pendulum

All year long we chase our death
Lose our will to sleep
Once each month I lose my breath
Dig down twice as deep

Still we race to reach our end
Don't know where that is
Face to face and clear at last
I want more like this
