Track Lyrics
Divide Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tides of glass, return to ash
In the dawn, we follow the path away from the sun
Shadows cast in wake of the past
Reaching out, into the dark and out of the light
[Chorus 1]
Crawling underneath our feet
A river running black and green
From the heart of the gallows tree
Where the future and our fate
Will bleed into the world below
[Verse 2]
Stone to bear the mountain stairs
In the night, we dance with our Devils and dine with the snakes
The dead will stare in joy and despair
Rising up, away from the earth, into the clouds
[Chorus 2]
From the eye of the Graeae we stole
A truth that we canât unknow
Spinning on the threads they sew
In a river of the tears that flow into the world below
[Bridge]
Over, under, threads of fate
Weaving patterns, soon and late
As in this life, so in all things
The end result, the action brings
[Outro]
The fates will divide in three
A sight that we canât unsee
Weâre falling to our hands and knees
As the past and the future bleed into the world below
Superstition Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I walk out to the edge of the lake
Eyes following the water as it washes my convictions away
He stops me when Iâm starting to pray
[Chorus]
He says: âIntuition is awakening suspicionâ
He says: âMy tradition is the art of superstitionâ
[Verse 2]
I wake up in the light of the fire
Eyes burning like the ashes in submission to the heat of desire
He tells me not to preach to the choir
[Chorus 2]
He says: âThis condition is a slow decompositionâ
He says: âMy religion is the practice of seditionâ
[Bridge]
He says...
[Outro]
He says âIntuition is awakening suspicionâ
He says: âMy tradition is the art of superstitionâ
âThis condition is a slow decompositionâ
He says: âMy religion is the practice of seditionâ
Destroyer Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is a fantasy, projecting the vanity
A quiet delusion controlling me
It took the best of me, dissolving my sanity
A silent intrusion destroying me
[Pre-Chorus]
When night expires across this town
I'll light a fire to burn it down
[Chorus]
The end is here and now
I'll burn it down, I'll light a fire
The end is here and now
[Verse 2]
Making wishes for me, causing calamity
The only solution abandons me
This is a tragedy, I meet with it gratefully
It's my execution and you're joining me
[Pre-Chorus]
When night expires across this town
I'll light a fire to burn it down
[Chorus]
The end is here and now
I'll burn it down, I'll light a fire
The end is here and now
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Outro]
I'll burn it down
The end is here and now
I'll burn it down, I'll light a fire
The end is here and now
Oceania Lyrics
[Verse 1]
From the ocean, we were washed up on the other shore
We didn't know where we'd been, or who we were before
We were two brothers and a sister with three poison hearts
We walked so close together, but our souls were always far apart
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A slight of hand, a flash of light
Our seasick days and homesick nights
When tomorrow comes, there'll be no end in sight
[Chorus]
These dreams of blood and devotion follow us here
These tears run into the ocean as we disappear
[Verse 2]
Underneath the mountain, we took shelter from the storm
When the skies had cleared, we chased our shadows North
We drew a circle in the ashes where we fell asleep
We dreamed about tomorrow and the secret we would always keep
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A slight of hand to make us blind
Our past life shared, we left behind
When tomorrow comes, there'll be no end in sight
[Chorus]
These dreams of blood and devotion follow us here
These tears run into the ocean as we disappear
[Bridge]
Home is something I'll never know
It's where I wanted to go
'Cause in the world below I was always alone
[Refrain]
A slight of hand, a flash of light
Our seasick days and homesick nights
When tomorrow comes, there'll be no end in sight
[Outro]
These dreams of blood and devotion follow us here
These tears run into the ocean as we disappear
Rain Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Praise the white-handed queen
The gold and the green I give to her from this broken heart
By nail and by tooth
The blood of my youth flows over her
[Chorus]
Falling like the rain
Falling like the rain
Falling like the rain
[Verse 2]
Praise the truth come to light
The valley of night she gives to me from her empty heart
By silence and shame
The poison and pain flows over me
[Chorus]
Falling like the rain
Falling like the rain
Falling like the rain
Falling like the rain
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Outro]
Falling like the rain
Falling like the rain
Falling like the rain
Falling like the rain
Falling like the rain
Beyond Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Out here at the edge of town I saw her
Alone on the water
I watched from the ridge as the trains passed under
My eyes full of wonder
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Here I can see lakes of fire, as she called to me
[Chorus]
And I could see beyond the ordinary
Lost to me in every faded memory
[Verse 2]
Here under the bridge her eyes looked younger
An absence of colour
The sound of her voice lost in thunder
My heart full of hunger
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Here I can see lakes of fire, as she whispered to me
[Chorus]
And I could see beyond the ordinary
Lost to me in every faded memory
[Bridge]
Out into the dark I stand out here at the edge of the World
I made a promise to never grow up and forget
All the days here when I was so young
[Refrain]
And I could see beyond the ordinary
Lost to me
[Outro]
And I could see
Beyond the ordinary
Lost to me
In every faded memory
The Other Side Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Let me show you the way through the water
You don't have to explain yourself
Turn your face to the stars, I see you smiling
(Ah-ah-ah)
[Chorus]
In Summer I drowned you, in Winter I found you
As the World falls apart around me
The serpent is dreaming, I don't know this feeling
As we break through the other side
[Verse 2]
Walking north I can hide for a season
Are you here in the dark with me?
With your voice in the stars, I hear you crying
(Ah-ah-ah)
[Chorus]
In Summer I drowned you, in Winter I found you
As the World falls apart around me
The serpent is dreaming, I don't know this feeling
As we break through the other side
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Outro]
In Summer I drowned you, in Winter I found you
As the World falls apart around me
The serpent is dreaming, I don't know this feeling
As we break through the other side
