Cairo 05:17
They who lived in the desert must've known something we didn't know they set their eyes towards the heavens dreaming of fire in the sky We're fools if we believe we're alone and nothing's beyond our home in this great expanse if light holds the key then we must rise and leave this place take my hand and slip through the darkness with me Weaving in and out They who lived in the desert must've known something we didn't know they set their eyes towards the heavens dreaming of fire in the sky a light to shine in the night as time passed them by

So afraid of rejection Hide inside ourselves Acting like strangers to avoid the pain We collect our phobias Our sicknesses Feel so good only when we can complain In your arms Feels like a better us In your arms Dancing around the fire Getting drunk with the night Nobody is ever who they seem to be Hypnos give us your hand We so tire of this life Need to rest and finally disappear In your arms Feels like a better us In your arms
3.
There's the place we met on the road running from God only knows and that look that hid in your eyes I'll admit caught me by surprise tempted the least I could say I hoped I'd see you some day funny how life deals us hands and changes our best laid plans Who are you where you from how did you come to be here what's your name what's your game when did I begin to fear what you might see when you stare back in my eyes I'm breathing easier this way beauty should never hold such sway can I hold you to the light and give you that last kiss goodnight Who are you where you from how did you come to be here what's your name what's your game when did I begin to fear what you might see when you stare back in my eyes It's true you make me high

Lullaby 05:41
I came to wish you goodnight sweet dream turn off the light and now close your eyes sleep in peace let nothing haunt you and dream wrapped up tight safe and sound breathing lightly the stars shine so bright let them guide you to the aethers and rest through the night 'til morning light wake up in bliss and come to me if you can clear out your mind have no regard for time wish away your worries and your fears let there be no pain and no tears

Welcome To The Machine (free) 05:20
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine Where have you been? It's alright we know where you've been You've been in the pipeline, filling in time Provided with toys and 'scouting for boys' You brought a guitar to punish your ma And you didn't like school, and you Know you're nobody's fool So welcome to the machine Welcome my son, welcome to the machine What did you dream? It's alright we told you what to dream You dreamed of a big star He played a mean guitar He always ate in the Steak Bar He loved to drive in his Jaguar So welcome to the machine

I'm watching you use everyone a means to an end to conceal what you've done you hide behind a smile that hides all your lies a role you never fail to perfectly reprise well you speak of remorse as though were there direct reflection of preying upon the weak you narcissist you don't even care unabridged yet so tongue-in-cheek the world will know your sordid affairs oh what ears will hear when I speak with all the info that I'll share they'll lock you up and throw away the key I'm hoping to watch you burn it's time that justice took its turn you'll rue the day you tried to play God I'll play my hand I've got better odds No I won't let you get away Where you running to there is no escape no you can't undo the sealing of your fate
7.
Man sold his soul bought a knife knife broke some hearts stole some lives lives that were lived on the run for so long they had no hope to run when day turned to night when darkness took over light lights burned out oh so dim there's no way to atone for their sins girl grabbed a gun with a grin a grin so cold did him in inside the place where he took the one thing she didn't want to give anyone but her love a love looking down from above above where she'll never go oh no she's headed for the fire below and they're headed for the fire below

Zombies 03:51
All we once knew is gone the fear in my heart is pumping through my veins I know I don't have long slow heart i feel myself starting to change they're coming so stay inside the hunger and madness is all that will remain the light's still green outside no hope to see the sun the body alone can't survive no wars were won the dead feed on the flesh of what's left the cycle repeats every night so I'm waiting here They're coming for us right now he don't know but I'm turning into one of them no sense in asking God how if only we'd known what to do back then the hunger is growing fast not long now only a monster will remain make peace and forgive your past the only cure for me is a bullet to the brain now I'm dead but I'm alive no remorse for my sins now you are the last
10.
No time to let go can't stay so we run this is all a bad dream can't be undone fear's grip is so cold faster now my son they're all around us you are the fastest one No I won't let them get to you You run ahead and I'll cover you drop the first wave break on through leave no one standing get them all it's them or us We're not going to fall No I won't let them get to you
11.
What will wash away what choices here will remain storm will pass us soon parting clouds break the gloom I've seen the sun and felt it's warm but I know the sound of rain when it's breaking through I never asked for this I always wanted it to shine to watch love open blooms in the garden of your minds Your roots are firm in place come out and greet the day feet on the ground you're fine keep your eyes to the sky You know the sound of the storm as it's coming on and you will know exactly how to make it shine Shine on Shine on again

Letting Go 03:56
Right now look how you're letting go head down shook now you lost control Boy, I've been in the same boat unsure of what to do re-conciliating when to make your next move Carrying all the weight of all humanity constantly ask but no one ever speaks Making it clear as the waters can't wash away the sins of your fathers
