Closer

I'd cross any river
that could break me
I'd lose every battle
Rivers to the sea
I'll hold you closer
Before it all goes down
I'll take your worries
Before they take you down
Your roots, they go deeper
A forest to the tree
and failure, it will haunt thee
But where else would we be
I'll hold you closer
Before it all goes down
I'll take your worries
Before they take you down
Oh...
I'll hold you closer
Before it all goes down
I'll take your worries
Before they take you down
Hold...
I'll hold you closer

Ebb & Flow
04:12

I've felt the wind so bold
It's bite stronger than the winter's cold
I've heard a frail breeze blow
Singing to the hills in the ebb and flow
I've held the sword of shame
Hurt the ones I love with words of blame
I've bit my tongue in fear to fall
How could I have come to be so small
I knew nothing
I knew nothing
A spark, like a grain of dust
Settled into me with so much trust
Though my hands shook still
A river flowed within with so much will
I knew something
I...
I knew something
Back and forth my life will go
Through thick and thin my love will grow
Despite the wind and the ebb & flow
You, I'll forever know
Forever know
Forever know
Forever know...

Warrior Ride

Watched you race so many times
Through the rolling hills, prairie skies
Held your place between the lines
Where the story's told, the trouble dies
With a heart of gold, the winners rise
Heard you run to hell and back
Through the raging winds, a turning track
Stirred the dust time after time
But you're here with me, and that's my prize
With a heart of gold, the winners rise
Eyes up, the turn is coming fast
Eyes up, no looking back
Saw you pace a long dark while
Through the burning sun, a twisted mile
I know you think your hands are tied
But the fever breaks, the hurt subsides
With a heart of gold, the winners rise
Eyes up, the turn is coming fast
Eyes up, no looking back
Eyes up, the turn is coming fast
Eyes up, no looking back
Oh...
Eyes up, the turn is coming fast
Eyes up, no looking back
Eyes up, no looking back
Eyes up, no looking back
Watched you race so many times
With heart of gold...

Made of Sin

As a child I dreamt through each night,
When would I find my home?
It's been some time now and still deep in my heart
I am aching, I need you now
Like a thief in the night they come and take our love
Maybe I'm born with a curse
Maybe I'm less than a sideways glance
Oh I must be made of sin
Oh I must be made of sin
As a child I dreamt through each night
Your arms too far to embrace
May the light from your eyes never fade away
I am aching, I need you now
Like a thief in the night they come and take our love
Maybe we're born with a curse
Maybe we're less than a sideways glance
Oh we must be made of sin
Oh we must be made of sin
As a child I dreamt through each night
These walls around me would break
and the hands that love me would find me somehow
I am aching I need you now
Like a thief in the night they come and take our love
Maybe they're born with a curse
Maybe they're less than a sideways glance
Oh they must be made of sin
Oh they must be made of sin

Hands Tied
04:19
|

|
There's a war that rises with the morning light
and a weathered man that's keeping time
We hit the ground running to the daily grind
Gone is grace and peace of mind
Who am I....
We wipe our brow under the midday sun
Can the mistakes we've made even be undone
Our hands are tied and our feet outrun
We bite the bullet as you point the gun
Who am I....
Oh, it was so simple
When it was just us
Roads got crossed on the downhill
Time betrayed our trust
As the witching hour is creeping in
and our burning flesh shows we're made of sin
It's hard to know which side to bear
Cut each other down as we gasp for air
Who am I...
Oh, it was so simple
When it was just us
Roads got crossed on the downhill
Time betrayed our trust
Oh, it was so simple
When it was just us
Roads got crossed on the downhill
Time betrayed our trust
Oh, it was so simple
When it was just us
Roads got crossed on the downhill
Time betrayed our trust
Who am I...
Who am I...
Who am I...

Killers in the Room
03:09

Can’t leave the war far behind
Bleed the thorns that tear your mind
Walls come crumbling
Walls come crumbling down
Helping hand, a knife of pending doom
So many times you fear the killer’s in the room
Nothing in the world is…
Nothing in the world is good
There is something that twists your mind
All that suffer, not far behind
Can’t give you nothing
How long will you walk this line?
No reprieve, you cut the bind
This beaten past has left you blind
Hold onto me
Hold onto me one last time
There is something that twists your mind
All that suffer, not far behind
Can’t give you nothing
How long will you walk this line?
There is something that twists your mind
All that suffer, not far behind
Can’t give you nothing
How long will you walk this line?
Can’t give you nothing
How long will you walk this line?
Can’t give you nothing
How long will you walk this line?

Seasons

Leaves drift in the wind
Beyond where we have been
Fingertips are clutching collars tight
As we rush in
As the seasons change
A silent prayer remains
Snow cleaves to the ground
Like words that hold us down
Sharpened sounds of boots in battle
Warn to turn around
As the seasons change
Light begins to fade
Truth bent with a phrase
A silent prayer remains
The storm breaks, carries the rain
Washes through the darker days
Sun streams through the trees
Their roots endured and grieved
Flowers will grow from the seeds
As it is meant to be
As the seasons change
Shadows in our wake
Truth will find its way
A silent prayer remains

Go Back
04:07
|

|
As the sun goes down
and the crowd gathers round
Will the years entwined in song
hold the key to keep us strong
Below the burning lights
will you still sit at my side
Play the strings in time
Sing missing line here
We've been through it all
Can we go back to the start
When the night was made of stars
Can we go back to the start
When the curtain falls
in a cold and empty hall
Will we keep the fire aglow
as we stand toe to toe
We've been through it all
Can we go back to the start
When the night was made of stars
Can we go back to the start
We've been through it all
Can we go back to the start
When the night was made of stars
Can we go back to the start
Can we go back to the start
Can we go back...
