Track Name: A Moment of Clarity
And nightly they invade, picking away the scar tissues;
So I can dream without black holes and without white noise.

The city sleeps under cold, delicate stars
Never winning or recovering

And that sound is the crunch of the human spirit breaking
And that sound is the crunch of the human spirit breaking
Track Name: Lincoln
Explosions left holes as big as Lincolnshire,
And my ears rang until they bled.
They opened up their young,
And gave the wolves their blood.
The sun burned the most beautiful colour,
Right into your skin.

If you abandon us again,
If you had a second chance...

The sun burned the most beautiful colour,
Right into your skin.
Track Name: Nylon
The pressure grew the most in you, but you told yourself you would be careful.
We ran around, in rags for clothes, pulling the legs off of dragonflies.
You kissed my hands and poisoned my heart, and left great huge scars where you could.
I asked around the towns and schools, but no-one had seen you in years.
Track Name: New England
I came to find the son I thought I'd lost
I split my hands and knees upon the rocks.
My wife's tears drowned all of England.
I came to find the boy I thought I'd lost.
Track Name: Wren
There's gold in those hills.
There's gold in those hills.
There's gold in my mind.

Wren will take me
Where God needs me.
It's a big, old world.
Track Name: "Motherfucker! It's Alive and it's Bleeding"
I came to find the son I thought I'd lost
I split my hands and knees upon the rocks
I thought things could change. I was wrong
I searched for years and I looked for you everywhere

No-one remembered your name.
This cannot be the way I'm remembered
This land is alive, but barely
This could be ours

"This is punishment! This is anger! It's alive and it's spewing forth disgust!
This could be very violent and you will be changed.
But I don't know if it'll be for better or for worse.
Please believe the news, it's all over the place
We're all over the place."
Track Name: Rebirth
I'm in rebirth
I remember
Track Name: The Long Distance Runner
Don't blame yourself there's enough blood spilled;
Don't cut yourself I need your help.
Hope lead us on, you were always so keen to run ahead.
You lost yourself I needed a savior;
Please bring him home.
God kills all his angels, and my best friends;
My best friends.

I remembered your face;
I remembered your face;
Splinters of time and space.

Hope leads us on;
Hope leads us on.

Don't blame yourself.
Track Name: A Blood Promise (Original Declaration)
A frozen wasteland of hope and glory,
Of History repeating, failing and creeping.
I made a blood promise. I laid my stake here.
But no one knows us and nothing feels like home anymore
Faith for all of us.
Questions for older men.
Track Name: Pour More Oil (Original Declaration)
No sense in me lying to you
This is going to hurt me more than you
A wave of endorphins
A cold shoulder
and a mighty blow
to the back of the skull
I'm in an aircraft out of control
I'm in an aircraft out of control

Pour more oil on us
Wrap your hands around my heart again
I am home at last
Track Name: The White and the Skin
I worry about my faith.
And whether you'll remember my name
And you aren't who you say you are

It comes to me fast like a headache,
Like a speeding bullet
And you aren't who you say you are

I'll fly straight into the sun
Track Name: A Sleeper
In a bunker underground there's a skeleton.
I can't let this happen to you.
And your safe if my sword isn't drawn.
I can't let this happen to you.
Sleep just brings us closer, you're my hidden friend: A sleeper.

The fall out has fallen in and our lungs swell together.
My heart explodes like a star, I can't let this happen to you.
Track Name: A Blood Promise
A frozen wasteland of hope and glory,
Of History repeating, failing and creeping.
I made a blood promise. I laid my stake here.
But no one knows us and nothing feels like home anymore
Faith for all of us.
Questions for older men.
Track Name: Pour More Oil
No sense in me lying to you
This is going to hurt me more than you
A wave of endorphins
A cold shoulder
and a mighty blow
to the back of the skull
I'm in an aircraft out of control
I'm in an aircraft out of control

Pour more oil on us
Wrap your hands around my heart again
I am home at last
Track Name: Condor and River
They found your
Clothes by a lake
I held my breath
I followed the current southwards
Until I found your secret place

Your body
Wrapped in vines
Your body covered in cuts
Your body surrounded by quiet
Your body surrounded by dark
Track Name: Long Grass
The grass has grown tall
it's covered my footprints
the safe rope is breaking
and I won't find my way back to you

The wilderness closes in quietly
and I'm alone with hungry lions
but it's enough to know you'll come looking.
Track Name: The Union: I Worship a Golden Sun
Getting better
Day by day
with no more opression

The Union's repairing
The Union's growing

I worship a golden sun
I worship a dying sun
Track Name: The Union: Into the West
Into the West
Into the Union
When my heart stops in my chest
Heaven, I've been coming for you
I've been loving you
Someone sing me my last song
Sing me into the next life
