Lyrics: Sitting in the air, I wait, yeah I wait Wishing you were here, yeah I wish it was real If only I could change these nights shrouded in mist and in dust The moon and the halo draw figures on your face It’s wan, It’s in the game – has it ever happened? All your sails are unfurled dear, ready to leave And I crawl at your feet, Begging you please not to leave Remember all the things we said I wait and wait in vain A dirge and a laughter mingle in the sky The long procession of dead pilgrims growled me out The whole story of what happened in these dreary swamps And when the blurred vision had weathered through the haze They left me alone in the grizzly place They left me and Someone in the dark came banging at the door Someone help me up to the first blush of the dawn Someone in this hour of foes Someone real at last and willing to stay And they crawl at his feet, Begging him please not to leave Remember all the things he said They wait and wait in vain We all have to make our turn And we knew we’d die from the day of our birth Sparkle and vanish is our fate Like the Moon eternally waxes and wanes Wanes The Moon wanes The Moon wanes

Glory 04:00

Lyrics: We’re anonymous, mass-produced, Faceless clones with a thousand twins And though we keep on dreaming We can be someone We’re sometimes just as innocent As a drop in the sea that’d think It is different It could be the one that originates The waves Glory - You own the Earth and still you cannot see Glory - I swear it is not me Glory - I guess it must be so There’s too much we don’t know Wanna set your sights on a brand new life? Wanna see the world through another's eyes? Wanna sail across the great ocean? Want a land of opportunity? Well look at me now, look at me now At the end of my rope somehow Gotta let go down with the flow Stop believin’ the lies on the radio Glory - You own the Earth and still you cannot see Glory - I swear it is not me Glory - I guess it must be so There’s too much we don’t know Glory - You own the Earth and still you cannot see Glory - I swear it is not me Glory - I guess it must be so There’s too much we don’t know

Lyrics: Mother, don’t lay the blame on me I just didn’t go to school today Mother I was thinking for myself What a gloomy weather Is it gonna rain today? Yeah it rained today, mother Yeah it rained and rained What a weird rain mother Aching and dark under the sun Oh the sun… A scorching sun that burnt, mother, under the scorching sun it burnt A scorching sun that burnt, mother, under the scorching sun all burnt A scorching sun that burnt, mother, under the scorching sun I burnt A scorching sun that burnt, mother, under that scorching sun mother burnt Mother, don’t send me away I just didn’t make it to school to today Mother, I was down on my way And today seemed to be just an ordinary day But it rained today…
