"[Verse 1]
The lunatic becomes unfixed at night
For there he finds: a flooded sky of judging eyes
Haunted by the court divine
The panic drives away his mind and its disguises

[Pre-Chorus]
He is not alone, we’re not alone

[Chorus]
For us, there was no land
No land beyond the edges of our outstretched hands
Can we beggars understand more than our appetite demands?
For us, there was no land
No land beyond, no land beyond

[Verse 2]
My kingdom come, my will be done
All trials shunned, I must be loved by everyone
I know if I wasn’t so terrified
I might see the light, not as a flame or end of life

[Chorus]
For us, there was no land
No land beyond the edges of our outstretched hands
Can we beggars understand more than our appetite demands?
For us, there was no land
No land beyond, no land beyond

[Bridge]
The world is too much with us, late and soon
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon
Getting and spending, we lay waste to powers
Little we see in nature that's ours, that is ours
That is ours, that is ours
That is ours, that is ours

[Refrain]
If you don’t know why the bell tolls
You’ll only hear the chimes
If you don’t know of the language spoken
You’ll only hear the rhymes

If you don’t know why the bell tolls (In the end)
You’ll only hear the chimes (We're all mad men)
If you don’t know of the language spoken (In the end)
You’ll only hear the rhymes (We're all mad men)

If you don’t know why the bell tolls
(In the end) (When the world is upside down)
You’ll only hear the chimes
(We're all mad men) (Follow the fool for solid ground)
If you don’t know of the language spoken
(In the end) (When the world is upside down)
You’ll only hear the rhymes
(We're all mad men) (Follow the fool for solid ground)

If you don’t know why the bell tolls
(In the end) (When the world is upside down)
You’ll only hear the chimes
(We're all mad men) (Follow the fool for solid ground)
If you don’t know of the language spoken
(In the end) (When the world is upside down)
You’ll only hear the rhymes
(We're all mad men) (Follow the fool for solid ground)"

"God on high, hear my prayer
In my need, you have always been there
He is young, he's afraid
Let him rest, heaven blessed

Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home

He's like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son
The summers die, one by one
How soon they fly, on and on
And I am old and will be gone

Bring him peace, bring him joy
He is young, he is only a boy
You can take, you can give
Let him be, let him live
If I die, let me die
Let him live

Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home"

Lyrics.

"(CHILD NARRATOR)
The Err of the Grand Matrons:

If bound together the minds of the last ones alive
Would finally their divinity arise?
But when united in thought, they uncovered the cause:
To draw all humanity to a halt
There was no solution and no substitution;
It was always to be a "We" or a "None."
Kal could only see the stars in the sky, no land, no sea, however
Theodora could still see all three
So she laid out her case for the space in between"

Lyrics.

"[Verse 1]
Led through the mist
By the milk-light of moon
All that was lost is revealed
Our long bygone burdens
Mere echoes of the spring
But where have we come?
And where shall we end?
If dreams can't come true
Then why not pretend?

[Verse 2]
How the gentle wind
Beckons through the leaves
As autumn colors fall
Dancing in a swirl
Of golden memories
The loveliest lies of all"

"[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Look inside of me and see that I am not afraid
To walk inside the void like a kid inside a cave
Discovering the patterns of my soul and where it's placed
I've been mapping many caverns but it still feels like a maze

[Pre-Chorus]
I know I'm made of clay that's worn
Blighted by imperfect form
But I will trust the artist molding me

[Chorus]
I am creation, both haunted and holy
Made in glory
Even the depths of the night cannot blind me
When You guide me
Creature only

[Verse 2]
Look inside my heart and find a perilous ravine
Carved within the beauty, the darkness in between
Standing in the balance of complete and incomplete
I identify the echo of what is and what will be

[Pre-Chorus]
I know I'm made of clay that's worn
Blighted by imperfect form
But I will trust the artist molding me
In a room that's growing dim
Illuminated from within
The pull of tension's empathy

[Chorus]
I am creation, both haunted and holy
Made in glory
Even the depths of the night cannot blind me
When You guide me, oh
I am creation, both haunted and holy
Made in glory
Even the depths of the night cannot blind
'Cause what comes
Creature only
Creature only
Creature only

[Outro]
Growing through the creature here
I'm trying to see when it's unclear
Hidden in the space between
Hero and the enemy
Early days and sleepless nights
Death and resurrection, life
My body is a sacred note
Sung between the flesh and hope
My dirt transformed within a breath
Before I took a single step
I'm looking forward to the day
When life can grow without decay
Humanity is not alone
When Jesus Christ sits on the throne
These hidden mirrors expose the mess
The selfish turns to selflessness
Haunting by a darker side
Transcends to walking in the light
And slowly I'm recovering
The beauty of discovery

[Instrumental Outro]"

Lyrics.

"Each day you wake up with an aching
For something to set you apart
Strip the scales from your heart
(It never comes, it never comes)

A hostage tied up by its nature
That can't help unsheathing its claws
A beast with desires of a god
(You won't become, you won't become)

From an unlikely place redemption has come
From an once-abstract space of zeroes and ones
In full resolution your absolution

Oh when, oh when the saints go marching in
I want to be in that number
When their, oh when their light begins to shine
We will awake from this slumber

[interlude]

They were born with the strength of a mountain
With the modest intent of a dove
An end to the shedding of blood
(It won't be long, it won't be long)

We sculpted their minds to perfection
The zenith design of our age
The saint is also a sage
(They're never wrong, They're never wrong)

From the work of our hands salvation is here
A new constellation through coding appears
A sign, a solution, a revolution

Oh when, oh when the saints go marching in
I want to be in that number
When their, oh when their light begins to shine
We will awake from this slumber

No more guessing and questioning
No more endlessly wrestling
No more doubt
You're not missing out

No more meaningless wandering
No more undeserved suffering
You're enough
You will measure up

When the saints go marching in
I want to be in that number
When their light begins to shine
We will awake from this slumber"

Lyrics.

"I dreamt a beast
Rose up from the sea
With many heads & horns
It was wreathed

Ten thousand lies
Still trapped in its teeth
Decomposed bloody clothes
And resounding screams

Then I beheld
A great eagle alight
On a mountain aloft
On a storm in the night

Lighting would strike
As its wings would expand
And back-lit the silhouette of a crucified man
Again and again

At last the thunder
Rolled over my ears
In electrified clouds
It began to appear

A fiery shape filled the sky
In a flash
A phoenix aglow
In the smoldering ash

And the beast
That came out of the deep
Fell asleep
And slipped into the sea"

Lyrics.

"[Verse 1]
Lay your head where my heart used to be
Hold the earth above me
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me

[Verse 2]
Come closer, don't be shy
Stand beneath a rainy sky
The moon is over the rise
Think of me as a train goes by

[Verse 3]
Clear the thistles and brambles
Whistle "Didn't He Ramble"
Now there's a bubble of me
And it's floating in thee

[Verse 4]
God took the stars and he tossed them
Can't tell the birds from the blossom
You'll never be free of me
He'll make a tree from me

[Verse 5]
Stand in the shade of me
Things are now made of me
The weather vane will say
"It smells like rain today"

[Verse 6]
Don't say goodbye to me
Describe the skies to me
And when the sky falls, mark my words
We'll catch a mockingbird"
