Blind are the many proud are the few you can see the bombs bursting feel the heat but what can you do It's a treacherous world and it's tried and it's true that these treacherous tides will carry us back to the blue Pick up the pieces we'll start from scratch this ship of fools will need a mast Light up your lanterns lick the salt from your wounds and we'll sail 'til dawn my friends by the light of the moon So many kings with their thrones up on high a stones throw from the masses who continue to cry it's a treacherous world and it's tried and it's true that these treacherous times will carry us back to the blue Pick up the pieces we'll start from scratch this ship of fools will need a mast Light up your lanterns lick the salt from your wounds and we'll sail 'til dawn my friends by the light of the moon

Stones 04:04
cobble stone streets weary bones and me stranded again i'm running from defeat i found a rusty key i'll polish til it glistens listening to a wall of wonder beneath which lies the past and oh the lies they're vast and truth be told beauty to behold the only ones that last the only ones that last are the stones oh the restless sea it stole a part of me its drifted away i'm swimming from defeat i found a rusty key i'll polish 'til it glistens listening to a wall of wonder beneath which lies the past and oh the lies they're vast and truth be told beauty to behold the only ones that last the only ones that last are the stones

Far and Away 04:18
oh from far and away they came oh from far and away oh battling giants with chains on the crest of a wave oh when the darkness rose oh it came with a squall first first there were shouts then they froze and all were silenced by the wall wall of water oh the walls of the deep walls i'd rather not keep walls made of wire oh the walls in the ground walls i'm no longer building oh i'm tearing them down oh to far and away they fled oh to far and away carrying emptiness on the backs of their dead but oh when the new day rose oh there was room for them all first they spread ashes and seeds all along the ruins of the wall walls of the desert oh the walls of the sand walls that no longer stand walls made of wire oh the walls in the ground walls i'm no longer building oh wall of water oh the walls of the deep walls i'd rather not keep walls made of wire oh the walls in the ground walls i'm no longer building oh i'm tearing them down oh from far and away they sang oh from far and away

Picture 04:31
i want to paint you a picture with the pain of my history 'til my words are the colors of the shadows from my memory spread it out on paper and hang it up for all to see layer after layer give it back to the mystery i wanna lay it down
8.
Come Crazy 04:20
you watch the dark and your calling card is empty a soap opera and the looking glass is empty too come crazy come crazy you just maybe it's not just you i sleep all day to let the din fall away the madness of the city below drowned in snow the silence of a winter moon

Liberte 04:31
the surface is shadow and the sky billows with a thousand lights i don't know the ripple of water is bringing me under in the afterglow and this golden ship she's warn and she's torn like this golden heart she's weathered the storm so many that the next one will tear her apart i drink in the sea at the first sight of lady liberty but she's rollin' them dice there's smoke in her eyes oh she cannot see and i'm thinking of you and what will i do with my dollar a day i'll send it on home 'cuz my heart is a stone 'til you come and stay oh oh til you come and stay oh oh til you come and stay her purpose is shadowed and her skirt billows in a thousand nights i don't know the crippled daughter is bringing me under in the afterglow and this golden dream she's warn and she's torn like this golden heart she's weathered the storm so many that the next one will tear her apart i drink in the sea at the first sight of lady liberty but she's rollin' them dice there's smoke in her eyes oh she cannot see and i'm thinking of you and what will i do with my dollar a day i'll send it on home 'cuz my heart is a stone 'til you come and stay oh oh til you come and stay oh oh til you come and stay the city is shadow and the sky billows with a thousand lights i don't know the ripple of water is bringing you over in the afterglow and this golden ship she's warn and she's torn like this golden heart she's weathered the storm so many that the next one will tear her apart

Garden 04:04
there is no map for where we're goin' we'll have to trust the stars and all that we know is what we were told and now we'll have to start to build our own stories with fresh churned earth it's too late for fairy tales we'll need water and dirt so water with hope and bury your hurt and soon enough there'll be a garden this one's a newborn with clear blue eyes she's free from history and all of its lies so we'll say farewell to the ghosts of the past and we'll write a new book at long long last yes this is a story of what it's all worth the pain and the glory the death and the birth so water with hope and bury your hurt and soon enough there'll be a garden there is no map for where we're goin' we'll have to trust the stars and all that we know is what we were told and now we'll have to start to build our own stories with fresh churned earth it's too late for fairy tales we'll need water and dirt so water with hope and bury your hurt and soon enough there'll be a garden
