LYRICS:
01 Small Boats 0:00
"define the difference between me and you
both just human beings
there is no distance from there to here
there but for the grace go I
small boats, small amounts of hope
and hope is essential
and nothing’s lost when nothing can be lost
there’s nothing left to lose
a tide of pestilence
a wasteland of scarcity
murderers and rapists on our city streets
what do you believe?
the crying and desperate
the dispossessed
the hungry in a land of plenty
what do you believe?
leave all of your family, leave all that you know
god speed you, peace be with you
sell all your possessions, sell all that you own
god see you, god keep you
go by cover of darkness, go by ways unknown
god help you
brave the thunder and lightening
through the eye of the storm"

02 Atrocity Relic 10:48
"and in the morning there was silence
shattered glass crystalline upon the streets
a foreshadowing of the violence
coiled in the hearts of our countrymen
and when they came it felt sudden
we were afraid but we had no place to flee
cattle trucks in frozen sidings
they cut our hair and we all looked the same
we all looked the same
and when I walked
when I walked
along the tracks
beneath the sign
I did not look back
a pillar of salt
a mound of teeth
I can survive
I can never leave
wherever I go
whatever I’ll be
the tie that binds
you to me
is this
well my mother, just this
and my father, just this
and my brother, just this
and my sister, my baby sister, just this"
~
03 Fortress 23:22
"I don’t want to face the fear inside my wounded heart
here be dragons, and threads once pulled may not reknit as cloth
I don’t want to be the veil you will one day cast off
but to be on the inside
on the inside of it all
and cast the mask aside
I am no shield, I am a fortress long raised to ruins and dust
my strength the strength of raindrops
on the face of well-hewn stone
all I offer is battles lost that the war may yet be won
and gain peace inside
on the inside of it all
and cast the mask aside"
