Falling Star 01:57
Oh, Falling Star There you are Sky spins into Time Down into ancient Earth Time spent patiently waiting Through every single Season
2.
Welcome Home 00:54
Landed crashing Right as the war began Every new sensation Sparrows, Trees, Powder Trying to fix the truck Trying to heal my Father Burning through memory Running out of water Falling Star Welcome Home

Dawn, wet metal Mouth of the mine calls Cole plunged into Earth Ripping up cobalt In agreement with those on the Mountain Breaking mist, sun wakes Slate Dark premonition Strange groans deep inside A friend enters the maw Flashing light, scalding steel Explosion consumes his gentle form Down, cruel welcome Dawn, wet metal Syra weeps at the edge of heaven

She heard Death ripping over night The fruit fell from the trees That's how an orchard cries Looking up Dropships over New Castle In the middle of the night Framed by the window Two ships had clipped in flight The door kicked in All went for their knives A clouded sky rained men with guns and JP5 The fuel leak killed the dogs And burned the children's eyes Looking up Dropships over New Castle In the middle of the night Looking up Clarity arrives for her First Life Grappling for his gun Mom and Nika scream Her Past spins overhead Looking up forever

Leaving 02:16
Woke up, many days had past Broke hand, don't remeber that Slate came, bitter kind of tea Knowing her first lover was leaving her She's gone down the Mountain Back into the Earth Given up form Into Second Birth Sunrise, awake but not all there Tall trees hung with ancient air Goodbye see you later Mom Know I'll never see her face again Got lost, panicked, full of doubt Deep wound, hurts to think about Time slips into Earth And it's funny that no matter where she goes, She finds her way She's gone down the Mountain Back into the Earth Given up form Into Second Birth "Hey Sy how are you my dear?" I'm fine hurting but alive Flat circle, you know what they say Goodbye, best be on my way.

Second Birth 02:05
I, I don't die I come raining Mother of Limbs, Mother of Time, birthed me But you, you, I can see through I can see that you're nothing Nothing inside, entirely empty Gunsteel, Gortex, hatred, fossil What happened to you? Up high on the Mountain Second Birthing Mother of Rain, Beauty and Pain, nursing They are alive, Following Death, sprinting Widening eyes, all of this life combining But you, you, I can see through I can see that you're nothing Nothing inside, entirely empty Gunsteel, Gortex, hatred, fossil What happened to you? Crushed by a sound, And the piercing light of living I can hear their laughter But I have Second Birth, fucker All Time goes to the other place Flowing, with every soul knowing Up high on the Mountain Second Birth

"That man shouldn't be here That man's done too much harm Green Moss shall swallow him whole That's what we'll do with Steven Cole August 10th, gone forever Disappeared for all of time Now we celebrate Lt. Steven Cole Execution Day Wounds close but pain survives, As we look up at the sky First Fall coming fast Since the war began Cole's men kicked down our doors But that's what we were prepared for August 10th, gone forever Disappeared for all of time What to do with a man so wicked He may not remain Wounds close but pain survives Lighting candles for those who died August 10th, gone forever Disappeared for all of time Now we celebrate Lt. Steven Cole Execution Day Wounds close but pain survives, As we look up at the sky"

All Her Life 00:44
Running, land bridge Carrying gas Waiting all her life So vibrant she could cry Blankly staring up At the tracers in the sky Deep, Green, Fox, Creek Her eyes make out danger, But she has not been seen Silently warns Syra on CV Back without a sound, High up in the trees Waiting all her life
9.
On all walls of Time Hangs a window framing Chance How mortal things perceive Reality to bend For Nika and Lt. Cole, That's what this day brought All aligned before taking her shot Cole, warriors rage Dawn on the Eastern Valley Thought Nika scared Bounding over lily He didn't know she was armed to defend Wide eyed and caught he got what he got From Nika's perfect shot Only so far people can bend pushed by evil ways So the Codex of Living states Too much beauty on this Earth To be taken by strife Not living to die Cole, warriors rage Dawn on the Eastern Valley Thought Nika scared Bounding over lily But Nika had already taken up stance Stunned by the Sun he fired his gun So Nika gave it back Cole, warriors rage Dawn on the Eastern Valley Thought Nika scared Bounding over lily He didn't know she was armed to defend Wide eyed and caught he got what he got From Nika's perfect shot
10.
The human animal Living Summer through Winter Long path north To Rain's Center Whisper Damage, peace, silence Nursed from the lake Belonging to Earth What did you take? Who did you break? Walking, water, Rain's Center
11.
Once more, fighting with a dog Losing them in Sacrum past a purple tarn Last death, recognized the bark Screaming magnet ripping through fog Cold wind, scree ends Once more, The Sun swallows all of them whole

Last Death 03:39
Peak, west, pursued by Death Cold bites her throat Days of evasion from a bitter man Last Death Two fell in the deep snow All Live's memory, Sinks into stone and ether Caught crosswind, hit with a knife Falling to pieces, Whisper Damage lays beside her Last Death Struck by Power, Clarity arrives Last Death, Syra's end Looking up for the last time Snow capped trees, silent, waiting She finally understood What had been gained from Falling Every life heal dear, intertwining
13.
Change, gone forward Syra slumped over the flowers Gone, Whisper Damage All Time, dying weapon Gone, Whisper Damage Fell Star, clouds hanging Mom brought her body Every trauma into the Garden Gone, Whisper Damage All Time, dying weapon Gone, Whisper Damage Fell Star, clouds hanging Monsoon mixed with tears Oldest weapon back to heaven
