1.
The world is cold a bitter stare The cruel winter greets my prayer A single moment hangs in time The stubborn heartland of my mind Look back The shadows run The stars Push out the sun The fading light Draws me to your window Silken wings won't push me through And the starlight reflected in the surface Cannot tell me what to do Like the burnt child who loves the flame The summer wild fills my shame A lonely sadness in these eyes Close the last time Severed lies Look back The shadows run As the stars Push out the sun The fading light Draws me to your window Silken wings won't push me through And the starlight reflected in the surface Cannot tell me what to do

93 Footsteps 04:07
Swiftly risen, soft saintly spectre kind Century of peace Years of war Ascend among brethren Mortality left behind Taking 93 footsteps No longer taking form Seek look and listen For angelic aged spirits Elsewhere born Words that no longer echo keep searching Misty eyed But gone are the movements of shadows As something sweet drifts into sleep
3.
Treads 04:15
I can't tread on the cracks Or they will hear my call I can't tread on the cracks Or they will see me fall One for sorrow, two for joy three for girls four for boys Fate written out in stars Itchy palms in poverty I can't shiver when cold Should I tap on trees Or catch them when they fall Are these demons in my head? Is it my design which keeps me safe from harm And you will seem much older Lying face down on the floor The truth that you consider Lays my struggle at your door
4.
Voices 02:27
Can you see what you have done A hundred voices are all one See your face at every turn The silent steps of one long gone And so to sleep your spectre lingers Where am I to run? Senses turn and turn and tumble A flight of fancy leads away Falling further lead astray In tonight we are all gone Lamplight flickers through the streets One more step and I can see
