The Rope 05:09
There stands a man with a long sword The sword is long and also broad He tried to trick me many times and I admit, he succeeded too, at tricking And maybe too many times Eyes… eyes, eyes, eyes… Eyes look out from afar The cloud rises Eyes look out from afar The cloud rises The face Afar The cloud The sword The rope A woman, who is thin and not young Who has a cloth on her head Which is like a shield over her face And leaves her face in shadows With a rope the woman leads a calf Eyes… eyes, eyes, eyes… Eyes look out from afar The cloud rises Eyes look out from afar The cloud rises The face Afar The cloud The sword The rope A woman, who is thin and not young Who has a cloth on her head Which is like a shield over her face And leaves her face in shadows With a rope the woman leads a calf Which is still small and unsteady on its crocked legs Sometimes the calf walks behind her very obediently And sometimes it doesn’t The woman pulls the calf by the rope It lowers its head and shakes it and braces its legs But its legs are weak, and the rope doesn’t break The rope doesn’t break. Eyes look out from afar The cloud rises Eyes look out from afar The cloud rises The face Afar The cloud The sword The rope

The Girl 04:28
One morning the girl finds she has travelled mysteriously back many years in the past There, the teachers and students call her "Clare" The girl and Clare change places each night, they never meet They only communicate through diary notes in an exercise book. As time flows, the girl becomes trapped in Clare's time Struggling to maintain her own identity Another girl recalls her dream of seeing Clare whilst in the sickroom And eventually the girl is able to sleep in the bed that will return her to her own time.

Screams 03:18
There were nights quite shattered with screams With great screams of death Dark human sounds In which affliction sang Death by bleeding Death by starvation Death by loneliness Suffering beyond belief Striking the heart like the song Of dying birds Death covered them with corrosion These nights are full of cruelty Shameful madness Into the great darkness

Wait! 03:53
Wait! Wait! Think! Breathe...
5.
Through winding roads and narrow thoughts Our hearts beat to a desolate note We rise we shine, under the moon Swinging through the vapors of this glorious tune We are the lost, we are the few We fight for the love in this bitter gloom We are the lost, we are the few We hope you wither in an endless doom And never come back here no more…

Forever 03:45
Wonder why these events compel me The way they turn are so disturbing All we do is wish for nothing Then again, we hope so something I'll be fine, I'll wait in line Waiting for you… forever I'll be fine, I won’t lie Waiting for you… forever Times I cried are hard withstanding Like a dream there so demanding Promise me you’ll return someday To bring the key and then unlock me I'll be fine, I'll wait in line Waiting for you… forever I'll be fine, I won’t lie Waiting for you… forever To fail is something so unlike me To break down and cry is all I feel Heaven knows I’ve seen this story Picture me when I’m lonely I'll be fine, I'll wait in line Waiting for you… forever I'll be fine, I won’t lie Waiting for you… forever

You tire me, you self-pity me The way you move makes me ill You batter me, bruising my will Always there to danger me This can’t be forever… You slip in to make the final blow To leave your stain for the final show I deliver me, far from here Heal my wounds of this fear I erase you, oh my dear Nothing more shall we ever hear This can’t be forever… You slip in to make the final blow To leave your stain for the final show

Drowning 05:48
Drowning... drowning... drowning... Twisting I fought And heard the waters within me The fine, beautiful black waters Then I breathed golden strength once more And the river ran rigid and more strongly Drowning... drowning... drowning... In no time the black water yoked all my strength I saw the lesser waters great And the soft banks steep and high Drowning... drowning... drowning...
