Tracks



01. Masters Of Destiny

I, I curse the morning star and
I, I curse the moonlit sky

I traced the stars and mapped them all
And to my misery
Each single line up in the sky
pointed back to me
I can't escape my destiny
I can't escape

Like a deer, still as stone, on the road
As headlights approach

No, the things we've said and done
Oh, the things we have become
Oh the things we've said and done
We've said and done
We've said and done

Used to be sure that
It's me who sleeps
But can it be
Somewhere there's a life
That dreams of me

Used to be sure that
I roll the dice
But can it be
Eternity
is playing me

No, the things we've said and done
Oh, the things we have become
Oh the things we've said and done
We've said and done
We've said and done

Hold on
Chance is cruel but there's no one else
Keeping you down
If you don't bow to its will

I am the dreamer
I roll the dice
I'm alive
My hands aren't tied

We are the dreamers
We roll the dice
We're alive
We'll always be
The masters of our destiny

Like a deer
Brick to bone
On the road
Flesh picked on by crows

Oh, the things we have become
Oh, the things we've said and done
We've said and done
Oh, the things we've said and done
Oh, the things we have become
Oh, the things we've said and done
We've said and done

02. Hunter's Moon

Shake the heavens
Cross the waters blackened
All before I lose the thought of you

Many suns and moons ago
One heavy-hearted night
I trusted my heart to the waves
And flung her out of sight
Heavy love sank down the sea
And to the ocean floor
Still you're here
Still I'm yours

You - peril of desire
You - sweetest misery
You - you are on my mind now
Time again, time again

Once upon a heavy night
Under the hunter's moon
And under waters deep my heart
Still skips a beat for you
Heavy love will wash ashore
Carried by the tide
Because you're here
Because you're mine

Will I endure
If not with you
The midnight sun
The hunter's moon
No days and nights
Of solitude
I'll walk with the reaper
Or with you

03. This Silence Is Mine

This story is mine
To tell
Or keep untold
A diamond shimmering on my tongue

We crumble and sway
And live
In intervals
This headspace by my own design

This silence is mine
Is mine

You've overstayed
Your welcome in my mind
This silence
This Silence is Mine

04. Art Kills

Oh ailing ground beneath my feet
Tell me how deep do I dig
To find the soil untouched by humanity
Every stone or home or tree
Every field that I see
Carefully woven in this tapestry

We are the architects of dreams
We are godforsaken
Every artefact
That will rise
Must collapse

Look what we've started
We've built a house
And wrecked a home
Look what we've started
Art kills the artist

Oh ailing ground beneath my feet
Tell me how deep do I dig
To rest my bones
So you can rest over me

We weave our tapestry
too tight around the Earth
We built a house and wrecked a home
We weave our tapestry
too tight around the Earth
Look what we've started
Art kills the artist
