The City 03:35
lyrics
buy track
Calling This city grinds him down This city watch him fall Cranes above his head Reaching out like hands above the fire In the failing light In the coming storm Out the car window Watching all the little Lives lost here eats them all alive Calling This city’s broken streets the cracks that open up blind eyes that turn aside from a million wounds that bleed in open sight People on the phones Calling broken homes Mamma pours a glass Daddy knows that all his Days are gone now Bright lights can’t hide The city’s iron grip The city breaks its weak It’s watching all the time waiting for the fire The truth of what this is inside The cuts of all the little lies The ferry crosses back and forth Waiting on the tide

The Job 03:50
lyrics
Her feet walked the chosen road Following the formulae Reaching up to break the glass Though she’d found a careful crack Faceless suits and Corporate faces Can’t she see The race is over Once she left the well worn road No more signs to guide her on Latitude to spread her wings Only then the cage desends Faceless suits and Corporate faces Can’t you see The game is broken Try to run noose just tightens Please don’t leave me To their silence I cant hide Reasons you left me behind Don’t mind But why’d you leave me behind

You Crows 03:52
lyrics
I have been looking To tear down the walls To find the means To settle this score I hear the speeches and look in their eyes I see the devil now Now sits and decides I’d cross seas bring you peace I’m landlocked I’m stranded on this shore I’ve laid you down I’m building a raft from whats left behind This murder of crows has taken this roost the rest of the flock is cleaning our bones I have been looking to tunnel below enter the fortress before they can guess I have been reading all of their books listing their crimes but all of it lies I’d cross seas to bring you peace I’m landlocked I’m stranded on this shore I’ve laid you down I’m building the raft from whats left behind This murder of crows has taken its roost their beaks and their claws have made justice blind, blind the schooling sharks are feasting below there blood in the water as they look from the boats blood in the water I’m drowning holding on the raft sinks low taking us down This murder of crows sits on our roof the last of the flock is cleaning our bones

The Chairman 03:38
lyrics
With the breaking of this spell Facing my time here Feel the grass beneath my feet Through the steel and concrete floor I’m gone We’re here With no fear in the light of this dawn Madness is only a road That leads down a different path Take us were we can rise Life is taking What you want of it As we slip pass the sleeping guards Out of the ivory tower The mystery of the lunacy means we’re chairman of the times Watch us as we arrive Always stepping up And out of it Curtain rises up no one speaks Light in our eyes this star on the rise means we’re the chairman of these times With the breaking of this spell You are facing your time here Waking to see the dawn Through the bars and concrete walls What you want Isn’t this it Curtain rises up The board nows sits We’re the chairman of these times
5.
The Suit 03:35
lyrics
Times are low Dangers here The Suit goes on Conscience heels We’ll be all you ever wanted All you ever feared Remember that your dreams were what you asked us to believe And as you sink below here remember what you did The suit is always watching The suit will give you what you need Lights are on highest floor The boardroom never sleeps the blood dries on the floor We’ll be all you ever wanted All you ever feared Remember that your dreams were what you asked us to believe And as you sink below here remember what you did The suit is always watching taking The suit bring you to your knees The times arrived for chopping down the wood You can run or you can run The mask removed Time to face The star chamber that sits tonight All our lives Come back with weights upon the scale Its time to tally up Its time to even up and pay We’ll be all you ever wanted All you ever feared Remember that your dreams were what you asked us to believe

The Call 00:59
lyrics
Goodbye I can’t see Where this Leads Me Goodbye None of this here Heals me Her eyes like yours Haunt me Goodbye, my love

The Road 03:19
lyrics
Let me tell you my friends This might seem like the end But of one thing I’m sure Every turn that I make Breaks this ache in my side I am tall as the sound Now this city’s behind It is not all clear But I have glimpsed the air And if I break and fall Still the road carries on I have left life behind I have swallowed my pride She will always be there Lonely steps in the sand With this city behind No more lights in my eyes I am tall as my words Now the road is my prize But its not all clear We have touched the air And if we stumble and fall Still the road carries on Where you going now Clouds are rolling in Storm wont stop this train I am watching and leaving My sorrows by the way This road ahead Fills the air Times unknown This roads my road This road's my home This road my home
