Tracks



01. Drag Ropes

Music by Mikael Åkerfeldt, Steven Wilson
Lyrics by Steven Wilson
Now my dear friend
Now for your sins
You've to suffer
Here it begins

Drag ropes forward
Shame will save you
Out moves inward
Turn of the screw

Gallows free you
Dawn's release
Hood to blind you
Be at peace

I was immortal but I am your friend
Yo stay and be beside you
Always here and always with you now
(I'm human too)

Lies are manifold and the truth can now be told

Now my dear friend
Now for your sins
You've to suffer
Here it begins

I was immortal but I am your friend ('til the end)
Yo stay and be beside you
Always here and always with you now
(I grieve for you)

02. Storm Corrosion

Music by Mikael Åkerfeldt, Steven Wilson
Lyrics by Steven Wilson
Someone is calling her shorewards
Much like horses
Raising dogs will sing to me

Hold back the tears in my comfort
We move forwards
In these pauses the storm corrodes

Maps of a lift to the scaffold
On a nursery floor
Begs aloud not to stay

Cut from the stone in the quarry
This old friend of mine
In his silence the storm corrodes

Passed on the second hand slips outwards
Born in the curve the song drips endless
Thrown out the boy believes the secret
Grown up the dogs begin to reach it

03. Hag

Music by Mikael Åkerfeldt, Steven Wilson
Lyrics by Steven Wilson
Giving back your stony silence
Dig a deep hole, your gain my loss

Rid you of all the love in you
Hiding feelings under hard shell

A corner of the churchyard
You twisted up my future my useless dog
Incarcerate in dread now
Separate the heart and you lose me you hag

Leave you hanging, falling, failing
Giving back your stony silence

04. Happy

Music by Mikael Åkerfeldt, Steven Wilson
Lyrics by Steven Wilson
Wind blow through, my lover
Tend your grave forever

Cut these webs away, my lover
Drag your body to my cold arms

05. Lock Howl

Music by Mikael Åkerfeldt, Steven Wilson
[Instrumental]

06. Ljudet Innan

Music & lyrics by Mikael Åkerfeldt, Steven Wilson
See you were crying
See you were crying
Mine is what you are
Mine is what you are
Mine - you are mine
And I see you wait, see you wait
In the sky

I purge you now
Cos I got hope inside me
Come back to me now
It's after hours
Cos I'm nowhere now
Without you here
Cold wind will come
I purge you
