Ocean Dirge 04:24
Ocean Dirge Heavy waves are pushing this boat from side to side Praying deep below deck that this ocean don't take our lives when there's a storm a-brewin' you all makes conclusions that it's not all worth the fight but this dream we're pursuing of rivers of wine and treasures they fall from the sky haunt our lives we're singing CHORUS We sail into the dawn hearts heavy with burden spirits we keep high singing on the ocean I swear I saw an angel burning in the setting sun but before this candle ignites at both ends I'd say I think the ocean won You know you got to fear me because I'm the one your mother warned you about I'm a fearless man of the water sailing, sailing day in and day out when there's a storm a-brewin' you all makes conclusions that these men will surely die but this delusion we're pursuing of rivers of gold and treasure they fall from the sky we're singing Repeat Chorus We're going down (repeat x3) Better abandon the ship We're going down, better abandon the ship (x3) I said before this day is over declare the oceans won.

Ghost in the galley and the captain spoke: "Oh my crew is it all tragic this life alone" Ghost in the galley and the captain choked as he attempted to quickly repeat himself: "Oh my crew is it all tragic this life alone your wife's lament and the screams of your children while sailing for a bastard that you know damn well couldn't give a fuck about you and that's true" Ghost in the galley and the captain smoked how the opium haze, it filled the room Ghost in the galley and the captain smoked and suddenly things were a bit more clear: "Oh my crew is it all tragic this life alone? You gotta love the freedom that you get from home and the bond we form together makes you know damn well, I truly give a fuck about you so let's go and Break open the tops of the whiskey barrels let that rum flow like a river down to your soul Break open the tops of whiskey barrels let that rye numb the pain you feel from home I keep on drinking that whiskey I keep on drinking that wine I think my vision is foggy or is it just the horizon keep on jugging that poison keep on sipping that rye I think my vision is foggy or is it just the horizon oh, I do not know All the while we were only Ghosts.

Festival 03:31
Please say that is is a dream this festival of gypsies and freaks how they spin around mouth open, words stolen with a slur they come spilling out I know the way to find the treasure follow the stars reveal the fortune Repeat x1 But I'm still wondering why the fires down below are still burning in your soul and the lives that you lead are only fueled by your greed and your need to succeed your lives and your pension to feed on the weak I used to be a simple man but that day is done now I'm wondering why-y-y-y-y-y-y I'm wondering why-y-y-y-y-y-y (x3) You're trying to break my heart you're trying to break my hea-a-a-a-a-a-art (please say that this is a dream) (x3) please say this is a dream

It was the same old song It was a very typical type of dance the monkey sang along but none of the words, they made sense and it will come like a technological fire and over take us all it will bring us shame you'll loose your dignity when you become part of the wall just plug in, just plug in, just plug in and fade away Repeat x1 It has no heart, you have no head Repeat x1 And the world will burn in the neon lights of doom Repeat x1 they laugh, ah, but now you are regreting not cry and oh and learn your lesson it has no heart, you have no head it has no heart, you have no head and the world will burn in the neon lights of doom and the world will burn in the neon lights... in the neon lights of doom let's keep it simple red, blue, and green she's glowing mean let's keep it simple red, blue, and green like gasoline let's keep it simple red, blue and green she's glowing mean let's keep it simple red, blue and green like gasoline let's keep it simple red, blue, and green she's glowing me

Summer Rose 03:33
Sweet summer rose, are you judging me from your castle in the clouds remember the nights you shared next to me those are the nights I can't forget Or am I just another reject? That you toss aside no one's ever good enough for you and I'm thinking that you suspect I'm a little too crazy to loose Now I'm just another reject begging like a dog whimper by your feet on the floor and I'm thinking that you suspect I'm a little too crazy for you Sweet summer rose I can prove it to you no one cares for you like I do yes I'm a stranger staring in at your life but I'm sure I can show you I'm the one Repeat Chorus You are my sweet summer rose My sweet summer rose My sweet summer rose I'm still in love with you

River 03:38
ow down the river (row down the river) Row down the river to bury your bones I float down the river (float down the river) Float down the river to carry you home I row down the river (row down the river) to bury your bones I float down the river (row down the river) Float down the river where you sleep alone You ain't so pretty with your eyes rolled back I bet this wasn't the kind of night you had in mind I feel my anger and I hold it back I'd rather keep a calm composure when I wring your neck It's just I get so excited when I hold you down your body lying motionless on the ground and for just a second thought I saw you breath but it was just the wind passing by slowly by Repeat Chorus There's something strange about this night it's clear the moon is bleeding and the sky is turning black I said I love you and you said I can't it's not the only thing from that night I regret You smile but I put an end to that If we can't be together then I'll make this night last I stopped your crying when I stopped your heart I never wanted things to end this way oh no Now go to sleep my broken doll I'll make a flower from your bones Repeat x7 Now go to sleep my broken doll Carry you home
