1. Intro / The Deep

2. I, The Creator

This is our battle cry!

Make them run for the hills.

Men plagued with selfish minds, around every corner.
Reduced to rats, living life without wings.

What do you have to say?

A Mothers torment as her child leaves home.
Soon turns to lies on her husbands throne.

What do you have to say...for yourself!?
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

I, the creator, hold the key to life.
(Hold the key to strife)
Burning cities to the floor,
Growing forests strong and tall.
I, the creator, and so much more!

Children living spoilt lives, taking all for granted.
With turned up noses, treated like royalty.

What do you have to say?
They strayed from the path,
Never was what we were,
Never will be what we wish.
How can I lay waste to my own creations?

They broke all expectations.
Exceeded all my dreams...
But the seeds I planted so long ago still have yet to show.
They grew minds of their own, tried to overthrow their creators.

This is our battle cry!

I, the creator, hold the key to life.
(Hold the key to strife)
Burning cities to the floor,
Growing forests strong and tall.
I, the creator, and so much more!

3. Hunting Season

This can’t be happening,
My life flashed before my eyes.
You move in for the kill, but here I am still standing.

Knives to the back only go skin deep.
So when you finish the job, make sure you go for the heart.
Sticks and stones may bring me to my knees.
So when you finish the job, you’ll have to rip me apart.

You gave the attention, that I have always needed.
I’ll gather my dignity and try to leave, but you always keep coming back.

We were so close, but got lost in the starlight.
Now I’m caught like a deer, in your car headlights.

You cut me deep, stole my crown.
Looked so proud as I hit the ground.
Now I’m watching the black butterflies, as my eyes turn.. cold!

Knives to the back only go skin deep.
So when you finish the job, make sure you go for the heart.
Sticks and stones may bring me to my knees
So when you finish the job, you’ll have to rip me apart.

I’ll give you! all my words!
For all your thoughts!

This can’t be happening, my life flashed before my eyes.
You move in for the kill but here I am still standing.

4. To Catch A Flame

There's light at the end of this tunnel.
Where I hope you’ll be waiting.
It’s growing ever brighter,
I’ll never stop chasing you down!
I can taste the smoke in the air,
But you always slip right through my fingers.
Learning to look but never to touch.
I guess it’s just bad luck.

Catching flames, is such a dangerous game to play.
All your left with is burnt fingers;
Black cinders in the palm of your hands.

You’ll always be the place I call home.
Warming the coldest of rooms, I know I’m not alone.
The thought of you keeps me warm!
In the coldest of weather.

You always leave me in the dark.
If I can feel the spark, then why can’t you?
Tempting men to fuel the fire.
Boiling their blood, like you knew you would.
You always leave me in the dark.
If I can feel the spark, then why can’t you?
Tempting men to fuel the fire.
Boiling their blood, like you knew you would.

Catching flames, is such a dangerous game to play!
All your left with is burnt fingers;
Black cinders in the palm of your hands!

5. X-Ray Eyes

An effortless deceiver.
She pulls the veil over her lies.
Without a tremor from the lips or a flicker of the eyes.
Words, elegantly poised.
On forked tongues, ready to feed believers.

What a beautiful lie, and the intricacy of having our hands tied.
These x-ray eyes, see straight through your disguise, you got nowhere to hide.
Don’t waste your time on lies.
We can see straight through you.. with our x-ray eyes.

Fools, pull the wool from your eyes.
Can’t you see it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing?
Feeding off the false conceptions, that slipped from her lips.
Lies! It’s all fucking lies.
Wash your mouth, Bitch!

An effortless deceiver.
She pulls the veil over your eyes
Filling half hopeful minds, with a half empty prize.
Words... elegantly poised.
On forked tongues, ready to feed believers.

What a beautiful lie, and the intricacy of having our hands tied.
These x-ray eyes, see straight through your disguise, you got nowhere to hide.
Don’t waste your time on lies.
We can see straight through you.. with our x-ray eyes.

Fee fi foe thumb!
I smell the lies of an English man!

6. Blue Lungs

We ran our rivers dry, took our only prize from this forgotten land.
So now we’re setting sail across the deep blue and it was kinda nice knowing you.
Vast oceans filled with tears, from the souls of a sunken ship.
These glaciers and ice bergs, are only to deter us from our rightful path.

The waves crash like clockwork, at the feet of our friends.
So follow me into the deep, and don’t hold your breath.
These blue lungs, they weigh me down, but we’ll find peace.
We'll find peace!
Don’t hold your breath!
I sailed the seven seas.
Assured I’d reach the shore in less than seven weeks.

The waves crash like clockwork, at the feet of our friends.
So follow me into the deep and don’t hold your breath.
Blue lungs weigh me down, but we’ll find peace.
On this bed of broken anchors is where we’ll sleep.
That's where we'll sleep!!

Waiting for the one she loved, but never had, to wash a shore.
If only we could walk on water.

7. No Strings

[Bonus Track]

The Puppeteer has got me wrapped around his finger.
He’s pulling the strings just for fun.
Pulling the strings just for fun.

So place the blame.
I’ll be the one to face the flames.
The words were spoken, they left my lips.
Toes curled and eyes wept.
Don’t kill the messenger, he’s took control.
Don’t kill the messenger, we're all helpless now.

The Puppeteer has got me
wrapped around his finger
and he’s pulling the strings,
yeah he’s pulling the strings just for fun. (Just for fun).

If actions speak louder than words,
we're really in for it now.
We're all helpless now.
Just me and my conscience
that's holding you back.

This is a stitch up...
Meet your maker!
There's not strings attached.

The Puppeteer has got me
wrapped around his finger
and he’s pulling the strings,
yeah he’s pulling the strings just for fun. (Just for fun).

Breathe deep.
Fresh air is all I need.
A little less company to think for myself.

Brake the chains, run free.
Feel the grass beneath my feet.
Evolve into what I 'ought to be.

Brake the chains, run free.
Feel the grass beneath my feet.
Evolve into what I 'ought to be...

But just remember, like father like son.
This disease runs in our blood.
