1.	Untimely Death of a Conspiracy Theorist 06:16	lyrics	buy track
You’ve raised these mountains stone by stone You’ve raised these mountains stone by stone You build your walls to hide the bones Everything you give you hide every summit that you climb is tragic, scornful, and derisive Can you forgive your enemies or will let them take what’s left of you (x2) Every myth you breathe life into is only a shadow, there’s no truth without lie Can you forgive your enemies or will let them take what’s left of you (x2) If you break the ice we’ll all fall through If you’re the one who’s broke I’ll be your superglue Walk into the sunlight and let it go Believe in me and we’ll conspire and make it burn (Throw it on the pyre and let it burn) You’ve raised these mountains rolled your stones Bathe in this fountain cleanse your soul release the bones Bring down these mountains stone by stone Tear down these walls and come back home
2.	Veil of Venus 07:05	lyrics	buy track
Lift up your eyes The sky is beautiful right now Lay on your back with me Let’s get lost up in the clouds We’ll wait here for the rain Sink back into the haze, now Open our minds and fly Never looking down Rise from your knees You’re stronger than you know Stand on your feet There’s nowhere we can’t go Wake from your sleep Cause there is nothing here for us to keep Lift up your eyes The sky is beautiful tonight Something in your smile Seems to set the stars alight We’ll cross another plane Sink into the Milky Way, tonight Open our minds and fly Leave our outer shells behind Rise from your knees You’re stronger than you know Stand on your feet There’s nowhere we can’t go Wake from your sleep Cause there is nothing here for us to keep Another place another time A chance to leave the past behind I hope you know I’ll always cherish you A topaz sphere among diamond rings You are my jewel in the night sky I hope you know I’ll always worship you Venus Lift your veil Show your true colors (Reveal your nature) We wind our way through space and time We are becoming of one mind I hope you know I’ll always worship you All that’s left is energy Within my heart you’ll never die I hope you know I’ll always cherish you
3.	La Enganadora 07:16	lyrics	buy track
The morning’s arrived open your eyes and see While you were asleep they came and changed all of your dreams Now the mirror looks strange a new world’s reflected here Revolution’s on its way I sense it in the atmosphere tonight Confidence in this mission Subjugate me with their Religion The Doubt comes into their eyes This blood stained figure will rise You think you’re done with the lies They’ve come to steal everything You just don’t know it yet They’ll put you underground No one to dig you out Use their influence, power of suggestion To bankrupt our trust until there’s no affection for them Let’s fight the institution Born by Immaculate Deception The Doubt comes into their eyes This blood stained figure will rise There will be no compromise We stand to win everything They just don’t know it yet Been traveling all these years Just to get here now I’ll never let you down I’ll never leave you cold I’ll never ask for more I’ll never let you go Anything can be their instrument the small things things you would not even notice Wait to play a better hand risk it all losing now it’s gone Feel we’re insignificant When they take its justified in their eyes Nothing ever happens here Deceive yourself until you see a problem

Sail on into the night I don’t need your voodoo Pray for me tonight Cause it’s all you can do with All your life and all your light Sail on into the night And I’ll pray for you too Is it wrong Did we see it coming knew it for so long Is it wrong Did we see it coming knew it for so long The world was ours for the taking When we were so young After all this time we’re mistaken To discern the right from wrong And after all of the trials we’ve been through And after all of the songs that we’ve sung Now that you’ve unlocked the basement We’re flying closer to the sun All of our lives we’re learning lessons Trying to break free of the box Leaving behind our lives’ concessions Trying to pry open the locks Sail on into the night I don’t need your voodoo Pray for me tonight Cause it’s all you can do All your life and all your light Sail on into the night And I’ll pray for you too Is it wrong Did we see it coming knew it for so long Is it wrong Cause deep down inside we knew it all along Is it wrong Did we see it coming knew it for so long The world was ours for the taking When we were so young Now that we’ve unlocked the basement We’re flying closer to the sun relying on our own confessions to see us through this paradox seeing things in a new dimension finding the keys to all the locks All your life and all your light Sail on into the night I don’t need your voodoo Pray for me tonight

7.	The Raven 05:12	lyrics	buy track
Pound my fists to the sky Watch the white raven fly Black pearl on angel’s wings Said goodbye to these earthly things The wicked hands of fate Give back what you have stole The fire of my rage Burn this grief cancer from my soul So we try… But There’s nothing we can do to bring him back to life Don’t think twice Don’t take your time Cause nothing you can do will bring him back to life Wish to destroy the world Emotionally spent The slivers of our hearts in need Of love’s encouragement I pray for lucid sleep Somewhere I hope to catch A glimpse of you between Where we live and where we dream So we try… But There’s nothing we can do to bring him back to life Don’t think twice Don’t take your time Cause nothing you will do can bring him back to life So we try… But There’s nothing we can do to bring him back to life Don’t think twice Don’t take your time Cause nothing you will do can bring him back to life
8.	Adrift 04:47	lyrics	buy track
Calm down We should breathe Peel back the skin take a look beneath Human sea at war ebb and flow sway with the tide Nailed to the floor, you’ll go down with your captain’s lie Light from the shore sand there cleanse our feet Broken by the waves still strong enough to leap Shot down, left to bleed, flow into the ground, become the grass beneath your feet The world’s gone mad, souls blind, confined Zip tied mankind have we all lost our minds? Press my lips to the ground taste the ash on my tongue Bullets from our mouths burning worse than when we were young When we come back we will attack the world’s gone mad we’re not turning back Peace and love shines through Hate’s starless night Open up our eyes take a look around burning tears lives lived in fear We can’t go on this way unchain them from the ground in the worst of us good can still be found All we are and all we want is to love and be loved All we are and all we want is to love
9.	Velvet Hammer 06:24	lyrics	buy track
Soothing serum fills my brain I’ll drink the darkness if it takes the pain away Numb my teeth and slow my tongue Clear the air and breathe the life into my lungs You found a way to make the day Feel as though it could last an eternity Want to crawl back in the womb Safe and warm then drive the nails into my tomb Begin to feel the darkness overcome you You won’t fight back because they’ve already tamed you Lay down your arms, won’t let you hide them behind your back I’ll hunt for you, consumed by you until the shadows bring you back Paint your scars Among the stars I search the sky for the star that you’ve become But you won’t fall down because they’ve already claimed you Take up your arms, they cannot hide you beyond the black I’ll hunt for you, consumed by you until the shadows bring you back Paint your scars Among the stars
