'Hope is all I have' He called out over his shoulder To no one at all Lost in the wind went the word Never heard by the one Over and on He sang to the silence at night An answer would never come (He hoped for... longed) Till caught on the wind came the word A whisper, the wilful; 'Come home' Over and gone She waited He would travel far to find her Finally she breathed her answer... Over and gone A promise kept is all that's left Nothing changes Over and on, Over and gone, she... Over and on, Over and gone... He sang his own funeral pyre Eyes lost in the last breath of fire Caught in spiderweb family ties Lost in dreams of a child with her eyes Over and gone She waited He would travel far to find her Finally she breathed her answer... Come to me, my softest memory My sweetest mistake Eyes open... please wait... Don't fade... Wait for me. A promise kept is all that's left So by the window she waits Singing

I will dig two graves for us Just want to see this enemy gone There is no time I just want to see this enemy gone The war that leaves us all behind I can see it in your eyes The seed inside us multiplies Caught you again, I know your face You played the snake, you promised me King in your world made out of glass We'll wait to see just how long the liar lasts. Call me the cancer wrapped in skin The mask you bear is wearing thin I can see you in the light Questioning mine But these unturning eyes Are leaving us all blind THe anchor between us drags us down And in those depths, we will both surely drown. Reach for my hand, I offer peace, please brother Take it, we will find release "Keep it!" he said, "I wish the ground beneath your feet would give way, There'll be no peace! I am the hand that bears the knife's weight!" I will dig two graves for us Just want to see this enemy gone There is no time Just want to see this enemy gone So bring me the end, bring me that fire Breathe in smoke and spit out ash The snake won't admit it But it's certain now that this too As all things, shall pass I can see you in the light Brother of mine With these unturning eyes We left the whole world blind It begins now You hear that voice from the crowd... Finally, fear in your heart, that old stone This is how it starts We've waited for it We've been begging for it And it won't be long Until we're raising our voices in song We are the voice of the crowd We are fire aloud We are the ones who stood first The hill and the stone The deep and the thirst We are the voice of the crowd We are fire aloud We are the silence at the end of sound Listen closer, perhaps you can hear us now... We believe that the man who brings his heart is home... If the fight isn't over, then let this be known; We'll go down by the sound of the songs that we've sung And I welcome the drowning Fill these empty lungs And I know that there's nothing that waits for me there But the peace in the silence I've earned it I swear In the face of unturning eyes I have no fear There is no god, and I am standing right here Open arms to my brother I say: "Welcome home" Find the peace in each other We've waited so long Neither question nor answer will come from above Bury hate with the coward The answer is love.

I had an instinct to run I had an instinct to fly We had it all figured out, you and I, Traced endless roads in your skin We walked the water we owned I had an instinct to run But I was flesh and bone... for once. Down by the water she fell We promised blood to the bone Dive headfirst into the well Where I was welcomed home With open arms I had an instinct to run I had an instinct to fly We had it all figured out, you and I We ran out in colour... We ran down like water

Take your rest now You passed softly by "Mother, I am Returned to mine Given I am of soil Turn the earth Life will pass, we are soil Turn to earth"

You just keep fighting the war we sent you on though it may not be true you wage It on and just like waking up you fight your war You just keep walking that road, over and gone, burden's a dreaming that you Won't give up on and we are waking up, to fight your war Give me the voice to be heard and I will fill my lungs before long I'll cry the end of the world haven't you heard? Your selfsame, gone, you just keep singing the same tired old song Your war with none left to blame Echoes life long a time for waking up a time for war Give me the voice to be heard, and I will fill my lungs before long I'll cry the end of the world haven't you heard? Your selfsame, gone The peace we find That selfsame lie Will end for none Till it is done Another name Drowns just the same We stood and swore To end this war I fought my war, and with my words I find no peace in waiting Give me the voice to be heard The weight, the water wear their consequences.

Maybe I haven't been all that honest Maybe I wasted my time A sudden kindness At the last I find myself hanging on here This is the end I had planned Bring me love Bring me this quiet breathing Hand by hand Counting the end of my rope I still have rope This is where my fight ends I deserve no more than I've made for myself Black stones in the well This has been the only love I've ever known Whispering a goodbye.

A sea of one thousand Chained to the stone One thousand years waiting Bury the seed we've sown Keep your thunder Roll your bones The water in your lungs Is all you've ever owned ...And all you know. Keeping stone (Affliction and desire) Keeping stone (Silence brings the liar) Face it, your lies end alone Wait, my brother Patience, this fire will soon become light Keeping stone (Affliction and desire) Keeping stone (Silence brings the liar) Keeping stone But I will stand and raise a voice like sound on fire Water awake We will sing your end with every breath we take Keeping stone Face it, your lies end alone Wait, my brother Patience, this fire will soon become light We will make it right

Weight of the world Coming down's always harder... You're fighting yourself Nothing left but time to make you a liar There's always time Enough to conquer my will Wait on the world I am down soft beside you I've never been closer than now to life And love We are as nothing as it gets And that is all you need And I am just a memory Far from fragile As I live and breathe And we were sleeping children Without voices Neither sound nor sight And I can't face tomorrow Let the music be my blood tonight We are still learning Again and again Soil... Bleeding the fight from me This contemplated toil Dig through the soil To find that we have none Treading so soft and lightly down Wearing the scars to remind me now Wait for it I swear I will die for it... You're safe now Home Soil Bleeding the fight from me This contemplated toil Dig through the soil To find that we have none Home is right here.

Tiny man sings his own lullaby Into blue eyes Born in this room No windows or doors He whispers: "Home is right here, my love... Between my back and yours! Home is right here, my love... (Between my back and yours) Skin to skin She rises gently Resting safe where fire meets water Rising hands chase shivers She sang to the hunter "Heart and home is all I hoped for," Hold Oldest man knows the world's not the same He gave more than most to conquer his change Here in this breath, sweet joining of souls The broken is mended, the unfinished whole Home is right here, my love... (Between my back and yours) Skin to skin She rises gently Resting safe where fire meets water Rising hands chase shivers She sang to the hunter "Heart and home is all I hoped for," Hold Soil Bleeding the fight from me This contemplated toil Dig through the soil Hunter Oldest man knows the world's not the same He gave more than most to conquer his change Home is right here.

Into my arms Bathed in sunlight Focus meets calm to pass the oldest time It can't be wrong To fade like this, unknown Over and on Over and gone, she was... What I would give to stay here, I'm longing To throw my charge to the fire, embrace nothing We drink it in To find ourselves at home we sang Over and on Over and gone, she was...

Don't forget what you've learned These long lessons The bridges you burned made the world turn And times when, blood to the bone Hand in hand Live your life chained to the stone You'll be home then We'll have time then I know you'd like to believe what you're told With your eyes closed But knowing gets old Don't forget that you will always be my little girl My sweetheart My sweetheart still, when I'm gone We'll have time then Don't forget who we are Like deep ocean will mirror the stars... She loved you And I miss her too.

Never wanted any more than All you provided me Fighting gravity Dust in the shape of you Stares into shadow But I can still see you stand Building a home Tell me you know these hands Not hers, but mine Father, I know you... You're holding onto this moment I see you, you're trying to stay BUt this is it, just quietly go Please. There is no more to say Hard enough to know you're gone I'd wished for one more day, but If this is it, then let it be now Let it go, please Drift away Never wanted any more than You provided me Fighting gravity Dust in the shape of you Stares into shadow But I can still see you stand Building a home Tell me you know these hands Not hers, but mine Father, I know you can Hold onto this triumph Father... Lay your head down Your work is done And I'm alright Please, father Lay your head down Deep ocean mirroring the stars You gave me my heart

Everyone's been waiting for my starryeyed advance But I'm on the final page The text has nothing left The keys keep whispering my death And my eyes are screaming out my age We've been looking out on the infinite recursion Just been wasting time Something makes me smile I tell it to the walls And I know what I have made mine I can look over my shoulder Just to check Just to be sure But love is old You can be more You can sit with your eyes open Damned to crack the camel's back But I am strong today.

Wait for night If you can't wait for me Wait for night, oh night If you can't wait for me What was lost What was left here What is old What is over What I need What I kept here... No... "She'll go far" Were your words Know that she'll go far Hold me here As I drift toward the end And all coming so fast We've saved the best for last (Just breathe, it's only water) What was lost What was left here What is old What is over What I need What I kept here... Know that she'll go far When the water comes I hope that you'll be ready To just drink in deep until you drown When the water comes You'll swallow down your words The things we know now She'll go far Just breathe it's only water What was lost What was left here What is old What is over What I need What I kept here... No... she'll go far

He would travel far to find her Finally she breathed her answer She'd been waiting by the window Finally he held her close... And did not let go She had kept it safe and secret Standing silent by the window Finally she breathed her last For what she had to give was final He held her He had made a simple promise Whispered in their final first kiss Cradled in his arms, she lay still Never made it home... But she will.
