Sun God 04:34
lyrics
buy track
I have lived for so long in the safety of my shadow Now it's time to tear the musty curtains from the window Let the light stream down into my cozy hidey-hole Burn the fear and doubt from the dark corners of my soul Sun God, I am arisen Burn away my dark prison Sun God, come see me shine I am the Sun God Now it's time for me to shed the shabby, pale disguise See the colors of the world through clear, unflinching eyes I have seen the light, but I have not been made enlightened Knowing now to be alive is to be very frightened Can't believe I'm saying this but I'm glad to be alive Now I have to learn to do more than simply survive This world is all we have and it's time to make it mine I am the Sun God, come watch me shine Sun God, I am arisen Burn away my dark prison Sun God, come see me shine I am the Sun God I am the Sun God, come see me shine I am the Sun God, come see me shine I am the Sun God, come see me shine I am the Sun God, come see me shine

Child Soldiers 04:33
lyrics

You know where I've been 'cause you've been there too I can almost smell the place, it's all over you And there's words in your mouth few others could say The price of your truth was more than they could pay There's no shame in being wounded No crime in being scarred You're not the sole survivor Child soldiers is what we are Your childhood was dead on arrival A kindergarten crash course in survival Given so many toys to buy your silence You were the real plaything under threat of violence There's no shame in being wounded No crime in being scarred You're not the sole survivor Child soldiers is what we are The road to where you are was twisted and so long You grew up broken, but you grew up strong Now embrace who you really are You might have limped here, but you've come so very far There's no shame in being wounded No crime in being scarred You're not the sole survivor Child soldiers is what we are

I got the bends and it's bursting my head I gotta great big hunger and it must be fed The pressure's twisting my mind out of shape I'm gonna kill my jailors and make good my escape Well, I'm not that deep but I'm hard to fill And I'm not that strong but I'm hard to kill When the Beast Below meets the Death-From-Above It's a clash of titans we call love I will not be limited, I will not be chained Like a mythic beast I cannot be contained Seek me in the darkness of the inky deep Break your vow of silence and rouse me from my sleep Well, I'm not that deep but I'm hard to fill And I'm not that strong but I'm hard to kill When the Beast Below meets the Death-From-Above It's a clash of titans we call love Blow the Horn of Triton and shake me awake Stir me from my slumber, make my whole world quake Cry havoc, see us both unleashed Let mankind tremble before we two epic beasts Well, I'm not that deep but I'm hard to fill And I'm not that strong but I'm hard to kill When the Beast Below meets the Death-From-Above I'll wrap you in eight mighty arms and crush you with my love Release the Kraken Release the Kraken Release the Kraken Release the Kraken

The Tower 05:45
lyrics
buy track
So bloody cold you can see your breath Your dank cell reeks of fear and death Keys rattle down the corridor Your cold blood curdles at what's in store All hope evaporates For those who pass under the Traitor's Gate You may have held power but now it's too late It's too late, it's too late No pardon, no reprieve Climb these stairs and you'll never leave Never leave The Tower Hot needles under your nails They have methods that never fail Turn the screw, ratchet the rack Rupture your joints and splinter your back All hope evaporates For those who pass under the Traitor's Gate You may have held power but now it's too late It's too late, it's too late it's too late No pardon, no reprieve Climb these stairs and you’ll never leave Never leave The Tower Now the floor is warm and wet As you bleed here in this oubliette No argument or artifice Can deny Power its sacrifice Just tell them what they want from you Even if it isn't true The balance of your soul must be paid To gain the mercy of the headsman’s blade No pardon, no reprieve Climb these stairs and you'll never leave Never leave The Tower Never leave The Tower The Tower Climb The Tower The Tower of London
