Again let the ritual begin The one that fills the space Between the moments of the day And quiets all the ghosts that haunt my wake And glimmer in my eyes Now bring the fire again And burn away the night And tears that we haven't learned to cry Our faces bathed in the broken city light At last we're in our time Call down the sky for me Call down the light for me Descend to the darkness again And let the demons ride To where forever meets the tide The pieces of what was lost and left behind Become the sacrifice Call down the sky for me Call down the light for me Call down the sky for me Call down the light for me Strung out on desire live to hear the sound Cutting on a wire just to make the static drown Reeling as the desperation salts the ground A shattered crown A shattered crown Suffer for a cause that you just can't reveal Give away your love so that you'll have to steal Crawling to the finish just to spin the wheel And seal the deal And seal the deal Call down the sky for me Call down the light for me Call down the sky for me Call down the light for me Call down the sky for me Call down the light for me Call down the sky for me Call down the light for me Call down the light for me

Missing 03:18
Like a face up on the screen Or a voice that's absent from the scene A hand that's lost more than it's found You're missing Like an hour stuck between Or a crime of passion turned routine Reaction when the heart is bound You're missing It's always after midnight when you're Gone It's always after midnight when you're Gone An affair that won't convene Or a haunting on the public green A bullet hole without a sound You're missing Like an ending unforeseen I swear this isn't what it seems A breath of air when I'm nearly drowned You're missing It's always after midnight when you're Gone It's always after midnight when you're Gone It's always after midnight when you're Gone It's always after midnight when you're Gone

Ain't we but a pretty pair The passerby can only stare Clad in black to hide from our regrets From things we've done to the people that we've met Snaking through the darkened streets Kiss of love and quick defeat Bring out the tools they sent us to deploy This is the moment that I most enjoy I'll see you again After the war I'll see you again After the war In a city starved too long for rain Rivers running down your sides again I promise it will all be over soon Shock of thunder then the flowers bloom Ain't we but a pretty pair The passerby can only stare Clad in black to hide from our regrets From things we've done to the people that we've met I'll see you again After the war I'll see you again After the war

Empty 04:07
One more grey night alone The city moves on Outside I'm waiting for daybreak to come For the seas to calm Inside I'm losing to the storm I'm tumbling down Becoming worn Don't want to drown So take this away Don't want to feel or see Can't keep the flood at bay I want to be empty Empty Empty Empty I move in crowds by myself The faces I know Outside But I can't stand to reach out To bring them through Inside I'm losing to the storm I'm tumbling down Becoming worn Don't want to drown So take this away Don't want to feel or see Can't keep the flood at bay I want to be empty Empty Empty Empty So fill me up With empty life So hold me up Still alive I'm losing to the storm I'm tumbling down Becoming worn Don't want to drown So take this away Don't want to feel or see Can't keep the flood at bay I want to be empty Empty Empty Empty

Another Day 04:26
I wonder what you're holding back Inside your secret cage What do you hide for when you're Off the stage? Which moments do you wish could be Erased or unseen? What is beating past the ribs Of your broken machine? Here we dance and dance Among the cycle of remains Here we burn away the hours While youth gives way to hollow flame Looking back do you Remember when we were so brave? Nothing to deny no thoughts To exile, casualty, or grave Grinding out the promise of our lives While colors fade Chase the sky for joys you Can't attain Still we grasp the prison bars and Pull against the day Calling out in misery to Hold the wolves at bay Here we dance and dance Among the cycle of remains Here we burn away the hours While youth gives way to hollow flame Looking back do you Remember when we were so brave? Nothing to deny no thoughts To exile, casualty, or grave Here we dance and dance Among the cycle of remains Here we burn away the hours While youth gives way to hollow flame Looking back do you Remember when we were so brave? Nothing to deny no thoughts To exile, casualty, or grave

Sunset 03:50
Here again End of the world Staring at the dying sun When we know that the sky can bleed What does that mean for us? Mean for us? Mean for us? Burn the day down Crush the ashes into wine Bring the night down Drain the dusk like a silent suicide Lost again By luck and choice Reflect the electric shine When we know that the day can die What does that mean for us? Mean for us? Mean for us? Burn the day down Crush the ashes into wine Bring the night down Drain the dusk, drain the dusk Burn the day down Crush the ashes into wine Bring the night down Drain the dusk like a silent suicide
