1. Sunrise
[Instrumental]
2. Flowers
when they bury me
when my head pours into the ground
my thoughts will all grow flowers
sprouting out all around
some will be violet
and yellow and green
and others will only be black
they'll tell my life's story
to all who walk by
and there will be no hidden facts
don't be suprised
if the flowers all have your eyes
and for petals your long flowing hair
and though you'd like to pick them
i'd rather you just left them there
when i said i loved you
the flowers all turned red
when i broke your heart
they all went pale instead
when we kissed
the sun shown through in yellow
when i did you wrong
the blackness crept in from below
[chorus repeats]
when i am dead and i am buried
in a long wooden box
alone with nothing but the dirt
myself, and my thoughts
i will grow a mighty tree
straight out of my heart
i will grow a mighty tree
straight out of my heart
and the fruit will bear your name
and it will grow forever strong
forever strong
3. Mistress Death
looking to find
the distraction i sought
i did not
i did not
a race of ancient mercenaries
how weak they fought
how weak they fought
none proved a worthy adversary
they all fell at my hands
the massacre came so easily
none shall live while i still stand
oh my love
mistress death
oh my love
mistress death
the emptiness of space
is a reflection of my soul
my opponent lies in waiting
with my defeat i become whole
the end i am anticipating
in ancient tome lies the key
set course for home, maximum speed
soon to find the one i need
the being with the power to kill me
oh my love
mistress death
oh my love
mistress death
come for me
come for me
you're all i want
in my dreams you walk
in my dreams you walk
4. Light Years
i can feel the morning sun
from all around
i can see you standing
in your autumn gown
such beauty we have never known
the earth agrees with me
the flowers lose their color
and the birds no longer sing
how can they create anything
in comparison with thee?
how can they create anything
in comparison with thee?
5. Dusk
[Instrumental]
6. Interspecies Communication
we breathe in
they breathe out
they breathe in
we breathe out
interspecies communication
mayans and incans
ancient egyptians
spiritual men
found god through ingestion
the burl and the root
take hold for the food
the stem and the leaves
sun, water, and breeze
smoke into lung
drink into stomach
when we stand next to you,
take something from us
is that you in my head trying to speak?
i believe you know the answers i seek
we breathe in
they breathe out
they breathe in
we breathe out
interspecies communication
7. Poseidon's Grasp
the rays of the sun
shine on our helmets at dawn
we take to the sea
to find the ancient one
pulling away, manning the oars
to know only strangeness
and distant shores
moon and the stars
shine their love upon our quest
we pray to the gods
our mission be blessed
to find the shining serpent
that plagues this land of men
to find him where he sleeps
and then we tear into his den
there he lays, still as death
under rock and stone
and dark and wet
there he lays, still as death
under rock and stone
and dark and wet
dark black sea at night
shining serpent takes to the sky
men prepare themselves to fight
and let their spears and arrows fly
snaps through the mast
the timber cracks
ship torn in half
poseidon's grasp
snaps through the mast
the timber cracks
ship torn in half
poseidon's grasp
poseidon's grasp
8. White Tusks
space boar
driving at the heart of man
space boar
how much more can he withstand?
standoff in space
one of us must take
the other's place
white tusks
reaching toward me
white tusks
coming for me
holding ground,
holding my own
you will never
take my home
9. Near Sun, On Earth
i'll go low
and you'll go high
i'll sink into the ground
and you'll float up to the sky
wings made of wax
or wings made of stone
they either melt in the sun
or they're too heavy to hold
from time to time
you'll reach down to help me out
but all i'll ever do
is look up at you in doubt
wings made of wax
or wings made of stone
they either melt in the sun
or they're too heavy to hold
