The River 04:10
lyrics

I ran into the desert Below a lonely sky Let my heart be empty Let my love run dry I ran into the canyon Where I said goodbye Let my mind be barren Let my body cry The river carved the canyon Through a million years of stone I’ve been living in your blood And I am etched into your bones I’m the River You’re the Stone I will run, I will wander I was meant to roam I’m the River You’re the Stone I hear the ocean calling me, calling me Home, home, home I hear the ocean calling me Calling me home Between two walls you held me We shared a dusty bed I wore down your defenses You forced me to bend The river carved the canyon Through a million years of stone I’ve been living in your blood and I am Etched into your bones I’m the River You’re the Stone I will run, I will wander I was meant to roam I’m the River You’re the Stone I hear the ocean calling me, calling me home, home, home I hear the ocean calling I never meant to hurt you Never wanted you to change I never meant to hurt you I’m wild to my veins, I cannot be contained Like the river, the river, the river I’m the River You’re the Stone I’m the blood and the water You’re the skin and bone I’m the River You’re the Stone Oh my lover Together we’re alone I’m the River You’re the Stone I hear the ocean calling me, calling me home, home, home I hear the ocean calling me Calling me home

Let Life Happen 03:50
lyrics

Let Life Happen Take a measured breath Not too much Just enough To stay alive Words are better left Left unsaid Don’t express Lock it up inside Slow it, control it, don’t show it, just hold it And don’t let it go… Oh, what would happen if I Let life happen, let life happen? Let life happen, let life happen? Try to tame the flame The belly fire Don’t desire Keep contained Feel the pressure pain Gripping tighter Knuckles white Learn to love the chains Choke it, control it, don’t show it, just hold It until it explodes Oh, oh, what would happen if I Let life happen, let life happen? Let life happen, let life happen? Let life happen, let life happen to me? Let life happen, let life happen? This heart grows slower This body of mine’s quietly going colder The god inside’s alive But I don’t know her Thought I heard her say There’s no such thing as safe Take a breath Fill it up Let your love Be open wide Oh… Oh, what would happen if I Let life happen, let life happen Let life happen, let life happen Let life happen, let life happen

Empires Rise 03:47
lyrics

Empires Rise My fallen king, my everything, What happened to our dream? I once believed I’d be your queen At the end of all things Though our love was still alive Buried under alibis Darkness came into our life Stole away the light… in your eyes Empires rise We built them tall Higher highs Higher walls Our kingdom was a paradise We seemed to have it all In the end it’s not your fault Empires rise Empires fall Our desperate quests for happiness Existing in extremes To separate ends with separate friends Enlisting in our dreams The slow collapse of passing time Showed the cracks were growing wide While we grasped for the divine Despite the warning signs… in our eyes Empires rise We built them tall Higher highs Higher walls Our kingdom was a paradise We seemed to have it all In the end it’s not our fault Empires rise It was a lonely throne, a lonely throne, A lonely throne that you held And I’m the one, oh I’m the one, I’m the one who failed Empires rise Empires rise Our kingdom is in ruins But our legacy lives on In the end it’s not all gone Empires rise

Warrior 03:50
lyrics
buy track
When the fire in the sky Starts its journey sinking And the blue fades While the red waves reach further When the mountains keep The sun from the water drinking And the last light dies In the eyes of the warrior She sings hey I’m walking all the way And I won’t come home ‘Til I find my own way When the fox and the owl And the firefly awaken And the moon paints shadows Against the darkened earth When the mirrored lake Reflects the constellations As they wash away The wounds of the warrior She sings hey I’m walking all the way And I won’t come home ‘Til I find my own way When the first of the light Ignites the whole horizon And the stars against the blue Begin to blur And the roots and the rocks And the dust of the road start rising Up to meet The feet of the warrior She sings hey I’m running all the way And I won’t come home I won’t come home Hey I’m running all the way And I won’t come home I won’t come home Hey I’m running all the way And I won’t come home ‘Til I find my own way No I won’t come home ‘Til I find my own way

The Shape of Things to Come 03:53
lyrics

THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME This is a sign, a warning This is the beginning of the end All around us the world is crashing down while you and I play pretend You think we’re bound for glory, the road’s about to bend I know this story, I know how it ends I see the future (the shape of things to come) I see the ending (and we’d only just begun) And baby I’m trying not to run, but I can see the damage that’s been done and the shape of things to come The shape of things to come Is it too late to save us? Is it too late to change? Cuz I would rather die than be lifeless and alive baby, we’re dying anyway You think we’re bound for glory, the road’s about to bend I know this story, I know how it ends I see the future (the shape of things to come) I see the ending (and we’d only just begun) And baby I’m trying not to run, but I can see the damage that’s been done and the shape of things to come The shape of things to come We could face it, spare ourselves the hurt Instead of waiting for the pain to get much worse I know it’s over, I won’t let go I’m holding on for one last hope For the future ... in the ending… And when it’s done I hope we see the sun and the shape of things to come
