1.Dig Down Deep
Dig down deep don't fold
For the faintest wind might blow
You're off your mark, off your game
Soil your old man's good name
Hoist your head, don't weep.
For a terrible storm might sweep
You're out to sea, that big, black sea
We'll lay you down to sleep
And the soldiers circle round and round
And the trumpeter's horn blows a deafening sound
You plant your feet, you stand your ground
While the bricks you lay
They come crumbling down
From head to toe
Covered up in dust like Jericho
When you shed your skin down to your bones
You know a house don't make a home
When you build it all alone, no, no
That's just a hollow skeleton of sticks and stones
Left, right, left, we'll march
To the pounding beat of our hearts
And the battle will rattle the earth
Down to its core
Do you forget just what we're fighting for？
And the sun will rise in the east
And the crimson'll stream at your feet
We'll come and recede
We'll bathe in stain (？)
And by the grace of God we can start again
2.Concerning Past ＆ Future Conquests
Cherry blossoms dancing in the wind
whistling a tune same key I'm in
Gotta go, got to keep marching on
to the beat of a D tuned kettle drum
Rattles and creeks like my broken feet
stumbling down avenues and dusty old streets
Well I wanna walk'em all
I am gonna walk'em all
They mine with turbines they're roping in the wind
kinda like this state I'm in
It's calm and quiet and blowing off steam
time to sleep, they got time to dream
I dream about you constantly
side by side you next to me
Well I wanna have it all
I'm gonna have it all
Never really thought things would pan out this way - must
confess
never really paid it any mind
I spent a lot of time helping out future conquests - I guess I
never really thought i'd find the time to cross the line
Rowing over northern waters angry and gray
make a man feel twice his age
I stand at the corner of two dead ends
one dies while the other one begins
I can castle my king with my crumbling rook
Learned every rule in that worn out book now
I'm gonna bend'em all
I'm gonna break'em all
3.Beat, Beat, My Heart
I wanna live in a crooked house
All bent to hell, flipped over, inside out
Four wayward walls
In a dim lit hallway
That's always calling
Softly asking me to open
Each and every door
With the creaking of the floorboards
Unsettles dusty scores
Where every haunting threshold across a lawn mowed (？)
I wanna love with this crooked heart
All beat to hell, skipped over, charged with sparks
Four wayward chambers
Pumped full of danger
Well, I'll wager my fate for a glimpse of technical alone
Well, enough with all these grays
And shades of dead (？)malaise
No, I'd rather they'd drawn out every cross space in this maze
Beat, beat, my heart (x6)
I want to see straight with these crooked eyes
The truest blacks, the brilliant blinding whites
For every morning I wake in a muddy haze
Well, I make my case for a minor miracle
I might procure from out here on the bed (？)
Where the waiting tips the final scales
Oh, beyond all reasonable compare
Where every single sense you've ever had
Is a momentary flair
Beat, beat, my heart (x11)

6.The Nature Of Our Kind
7.Spite
I once knew a man who learned such a thing
Cut off his hand to spite his ring
He poisoned the well to spite the frogs
Put down his son to spite the dog
He cut out his sleep to spite his dreams
Picked all the flowers to spite the bees
He burned his bible to spite the Lord
Took a day off to lick his wounds I heard him swear,
'Life is such a wretched affair
I'm gonna hold my breath to spite the air'
He drained the canal to spite the fish
Flooded the land to spite the bridge
He dug up the hills to spite the sky
Tore out his tongue to spite the lies
He cut down the trees to spite the shade
Laid her to rest to spite the life they'd made
He burned his his bible to spite the Lord
Took a day off to lick his wounds I heard him swear,
'Life is such a cursed affair
I'm gonna hold my breath
No, I'm gonna stop breathing
To spite the air'
8.Pick Up The Pace
9.AOK Vandaveer
I've got to get out
Oh god
I've got to get out of the city
For just one day
For just one night
Please understand I'll be alright
I'll be a-ok, a-alright
I'll spread my wings, I'll take my maiden flight
Tonight
Tonight
I've got to get home
Oh yes
I've got to get home in a hurry
For just one day
For just one night
My hit field's clear (？), feels screwed on tight
I feel a-ok, out of sight
Raise your open arms, I'll land tonight
Tonight
Tonight
And if my heavy heart should open wide
I'd touch down by your side
Right by your side
I've got to be strong
So strong
I've got to be strong and determined
Oh, one more fray
Oh, one more fight
My sword is drawn, my helmet's tied
I feel a-ok, swift and spry
The battle line's been drawn with blood
And mine (？)
it's so bright
It's so bright
Now I'll find a place where I can bury
My head in the sand
Oh, a slowly sinking piece of land
Down by the sea
Yeah, I lie in peace
Down by the sea
Yes, I lie in peace
Under the sea
And if my heavy heart should open wide
I'd surface by your side
Right by your side
(I'd touch down by your side, by your side)
And if my heavy heart should open wide
I'd surface by your side
Right by your side
(I'd touch down by your side, by your side)
And if my heavy heart should open wide
I'd surface by your side
Right by your side
(I'd touch down by your side, by your side)
