Nighthawk 03:27
The shadows can be anything at all I shift my form and I answer the call coming from the void the world is a lie now i've been destroyed and the nighthawk will fly again his cry calls the curtains that blind us to divide and open oh no, there another one goes gone dancing with the shadows now it's time to go, and dance with the shadows you could bid me farewell you could say so long you could turn your back until you think i'm gone wish me the best or mutter a curse shrug your shoulders and say for better or worse hold me close stand afar shed all your tears and bathe your heart sing me a song write me a poem but i'm here the whole time and you don't even know in the land of the silhouettes, the home of the shadows we can be anything at all i don't care, where anything goes i lose my mind when i dance with the shadows

Ignition 06:35
I used to admire the rising Sun moments before my time awake was done but now i greet Him as I drive to the dues I must pay to keep the dream alive I used to think, that she was the one but then there was another, and another, and then some i can't resist the thrill of the mission we had the spark, but where was the ignition just cause i'm moving on doesn't mean i've sung my last song for you just cause i'm not around, doesn't mean i always sleep so soundly without you there but i'm not there i caught you in a moment i think you saw my eyes were open i can't forget the expression upon your face that said what the hell am i doing in this place and i empathize babe it's hard to wrap a finite mind around the black sarlaac of time as it devours space, but fear not, love is not erased, i'm here til the end, as a lover, and as a friend, but these feet will wander and this head will wonder and this heart will love til the body turns to dust now what moves you may not be what moves me but somethings gotta be pushin and pullin here you may not be one to mess with the forces unseen but curiosity's gotta be better than nothing dear I can't recall the last time i felt free like the wings of the wind moving the shimmering sea go ahead and call my name but i ain't even here no more i am someone somehow some place else entirely just cause i'm movin on doesn't mean i've sung my last song for you just cause i'm not around doesn't mean i always sleep so soundly without you there but i'm not there

Tali 05:06
Remind me, I can't forget about Tali It's been a long day when i let my head run crazy i find its harder to breathe easy but don't worry i have not forgotten breathe easy i am on my way balance neither the push nor the pull overcomes the center through which all the currents run at the height of the race rivals will be found no longer part of the chase but on equal ground it's how we choose to relate that's been bringing us down the constant need to escape keeps me running around and around and around oh won't someone remind me i can't forget about Tali it's been a long day when i let my head run crazy i find it's harder to breathe easy but don't worry i am on my remind me i can't forget about Tali it's been a long day when i let my head run crazy i find it's harder to breathe easy but don't worry i have not for breathe easy i have not forgotten oh finally i can breathe easy i am on my way

Lure In 06:34
Who are we representing Move when i start pressing Smoothly writhing through a desireless day and at the end i am left with much less to say i'd feel frustrated if only i could nothing is bad nothing is good this feeling is bottomless like my greed for experience you know that i'm not harmless but you've learned the dance as well keep on spinning that knife in the palm of your head til you trip over me and we see where it lands til love overcomes the pride that I've won sweet Luna will be there to greet us once it's done Who are we representing do we fit these parts we're playing i'd show you myself if only i could nothing is bad nothing is good nothing is

Taking Water 07:10
we are going down this ship's taking water taking us to the slaughter of the free man to his grave the free man to his grave you can but you do not leave you've got everything you need you've got the whole pie every slice you walk by you feed the crumbs to your dogs feed the crumbs to your dogs it's a miserable feeling out on the ocean it's a miserable feeling with nothing to hold on this boat's been rocking and rolling for too long everybody knows they try not to think everybody knows the boats gonna sink real soon if we don't help real soon if we don't send our help, anyways we can send our help anyway we can send our help anyway we can and your mother told you boy, it's ok and you father old you boy, be a man now and your leaders mold you boy, it's their plan now but you realize you could never, hurt anyone

Out to Sea 05:10
Here I Be I am headed out to sea and no one needs to follow i hope i am not swallowed by the monsters within the waves although it's beautiful they say looking up from beneath the water marveling at the beauty of disorder things falling apart to come back together the time is now don't mind the weather i'm hauling off you can keep the rope cuz where i go nothing even holds a tether i float on my back to feel the pulse of my being open the skies to the realm of my seeing raise a sail to catch the wind of my feeling and there's plenty of room up on the ceiling i pray you'll show your face and sing the melodies of memories forever unerased and i am listening here we i am beneath the rolling waves nothing needs replacement here where i'm free i am headed out to sea getting over myself so i can be love with everything i am i am listening
