(Verse 1)
Little rodent in the night...
Scurrying about in my abode...
Aggravated hissing in my ears...
Your fear, it tastes like… home...
My sculptures are perfection as if they were once alive,
A gift bestowed upon me from the gods above.
I’ll show you my secrets, just look into my eyes,
My newest addition frozen in fright.
(Chorus)
Step into the...
Step into the…
Step into the… light!
Are you watching me? Above the clouds?
In your desecrated temple?
Are you watching me? Above the clouds?
In your desecrated temple?
(Verse 2)
I’m getting close, I know where you are.
Shivering there in the dark.
You’ll stay with me for eternity,
In my frozen gallery...
Come see what they’ve done to me.
But what’s done is done. So let’s go.
You’ll be my special piece. The star of the show.
Now stop this hide and seek and gaze into my eyes.
My newest addition frozen in fright.
[CONTINUED]
(Solo)
(Chorus)
Step into the...
Step into the…
Step into the… light!
Are you watching me? Above the clouds?
In your desecrated temple?
Are you watching me? Above the clouds?
In your desecrated temple?
(Outro)
Little rodent in the night...
Little rodent in the night...

Pleco King

|
(Verse 1)
Some view me as a bit odd,
Unique and strange.
Something you don’t see quite often,
Something you don’t see every day.
Upside down beneath the rocks,
In the light of day.
While all those sparkling fishes,
They’re swimming, just swimming away.
(Chorus)
Rise, Rise, Rise.
The pleco king in me.
Rise, Rise, Rise.
The pleco king in me.
(Verse 2)
I might rise to the top,
If I could only pay attention.
And swim with those sparkly fishes,
If that were my intentions.
See I like it down beneath the rocks,
Way below the surface.
Where I grow beautiful and strong,
Hidden on purpose.
(Chorus)
Rise, Rise, Rise.
The pleco king in me.
Rise, Rise, Rise.
The pleco king in me.
[CONTINUED]
(Breakdown)
Will be moving around when the light shuts off.
You know it all floats down from the top.
Will be moving around when the light shuts off.
You know it all floats down...
They all love the spotlight,
To show off their beautiful displays.
You wouldn’t even know I’m here.
I’m comfortably tucked away.
But, for those who search below,
For an unseen treasure.
You’ll find us waiting here. Find us all together.
(Chorus)
Rise, Rise, Rise.
The pleco king in me.
Rise, Rise, Rise.
The pleco king in me.
(Breakdown)
Will be moving around when the light shuts off.
You know it all floats down from the top.
Will be moving around when the light shuts off.
You know it all floats down...

(Opening Woah’s)
(Verse 1)
I’m always the sceptic, I never believe,
Inspired by the clues you left for me.
You broke my disenchantment.
Tallest of tales, I’d climb to the top,
Not afraid of the height, not afraid of the drop.
Just to glimpse you.
(Chorus 1 - Woah’s)
(Verse 2)
I’m always too late to arrive on the scene, but I found this time,
You were waiting for me.
You didn’t elude me.
You shattered everything that I ever believed,
I’ll take your gaze to the grave with me.
Nothing can explain you.
(Chorus 2)
Cause I’ve never...
I’ve never seen nothing like you.
I’ve never…
I’ve never seen nothing like you.
(Verse 3)
I told my tale and they locked me away,
Now I sit by my window every night and day,
Searching for you.
Take me away in my deepest sleep, they tell me to wait,
They’re not ready for me,
I’ll wait forever...
(Chorus 3)
Cause I’ve never...
I’ve never seen nothing like you.
I’ve never…
I’ve never seen nothing like you.

The Moon

(Verse 1)
Sparks emanate from the touch of my heels,
There’s a festive rhythm to my step.
My mind rattles like a diamond back,
And my eyes, they glow like an alley cat.
Cause’ I can feel it in the breeze,
I frolic along to it’s gentle tease.
(Chorus)
Cause’ my mind is the moon tonight,
My mind is the moons tonight.
(Verse 2)
You can talk to me…briefly,
My attention is too hard to find.
My color is a burgundy,
And be so kind as to pour me a glass of red wine.
I can feel it in the breeze,
I frolic along to it’s gentle tease.
(Chorus)
Cause’ my mind is the moon tonight,
My mind is the moons tonight.
(Verse 3)
It isn’t always like this,
But tonight I feel beautiful.
My eyes change from blue to green,
In every scene, the spotlight, it shines down on me.
I can feel it in the breeze,
It tugs and pulls on my nerve endings.
I frolic along to its gentle tease.
[CONTINUED]
(Chorus)
Cause’ my mind is the moon tonight,
My mind is the moons tonight.

Abyss Clover

|
(Verse 1)
My fathers fallen, a wounded brother’s calling,
My haunts, they won’t let me rest now.
Head down and working, burning in the burden,
For abundance that I just give away.
Fist high and flying, the weak are all dying from the beat down.
Fruits gone rotten, trust forgotten, Leave me alone.
(Chorus)
I’m going down to sleep at the bottom of the world.
I’m going down to sleep at the bottom of the world.
(Verse 2)
Hours take forever, years I can’t remember.
Time is not on my side now.
Livestock is blinded, wounded and blindsided.
Bitten by a two headed snake.
I hold my dreams close and I won’t let them go on this battleground.
Panicked and running, they sense the flood,
We’re all going to drown.
(Chorus)
I’m going down to sleep at the bottom of the world.
I’m going down to sleep at the bottom of the world.
I’m going down to sleep at the bottom of the world.
I’m going down to sleep at the bottom of the world!
(During Breakdown)
Abyss... Clover…
Abyss... Clover…
Abyss! Clover!
Abyss! Clover!
[CONTINUED]
(During Melodic Outro)
Down, down, down, down,
Bottom of the world.
Down, down, down, down,
Bottom of the world.
Down, down, down, down,
Bottom of the world.
Down, down, down, down,
Bottom of the world.

Flight
02:47
|

|
(Verse 1)
I think I’ll take my chances with the unseen force,
Not the decorated trap that leads us all off course.
And I can feel the arrival of my omens and guides.
Freakish form of nature cracks open my mind.
(Chorus)
I fly in darkness. Come alive in darkness.
Will survive in darkness. I fly.
(Verse 2)
My interpersonal connection amplified,
The horizon eats the sun now I’m purified.
I send a million wings out with an open chord,
Revolution and renewal my reward.
(Chorus)
I fly in darkness. Come alive in darkness.
Will survive in darkness. I fly.
(Verse 3)
Echoes bounce off landscapes that go rushing by,
Obstacles removed from my watering eye.
The conditions right, the soil is ready to receive,
A herald of true vigor and vitality.
(Chorus)
I fly in darkness. Come alive in darkness.
Will survive in darkness. I fly.

(Verse 1)
Tonight the dose is right,
We float right through the wall.
Past the trees and lights,
Our house, it seems so small.
Just below the clouds,
I can barely see our town.
Higher and higher we climb,
I’m never coming down.
(Chorus)
On and on this time.
On and on and on.
(Verse 2)
We lick a thousand dreams,
Explode just like a sun.
No one can harm us now,
Our time spent here is done.
Sea life and shimmering light,
Galaxies and stars.
No path to lead us back,
We’ve never come this far.
(Chorus)
On and on this time.
On and on and on.
On and on this time.
On and on and on.
(Chorus)
On and on this time.
On and on and on.
On and on this time.
On and on and on.
[CONTINUED]
(OD Part 2)
And I wait in this place,
And you know that I’ll not hesitate.
Because I’m lost.
AH AH AH AH AH AH...
And I wait in this place,
And you know that I’ll not hesitate.
Because I’m lost.
AH AH AH AH AH AH...
Cause I chose the darkest road,
I chose the darkest road.
And I wait in this place,
And you know I’ll not hesitate.
Because I’m lost.
AH AH AH AH AH AH...
I wait in this place,
And you know I’ll not hesitate.
Because I’m lost.
AH AH AH AH AH AH...
Cause I chose the darkest road,
I chose the darkest road.
I chose the darkest road,
I chose the darkest road.

Devil with Amnesia
03:34
|

|
(Verse 1)
See - I’m a devil,
With amnesia.
I could not understand the dark within.
See I’m a vessel,
It’s my natural birth rite.
I was lost - These angels, they circled and took me in.
Yes, they did.
(Verse 2)
And I hurt them,
At first.
You know their ways, they are so much different than mine.
But, out of sheer boredom from staring into the void,
Suddenly, I began to see the light.
(Breakdown 1)
The angles are so,
Beautiful.
They now struggle with the light,
Like I now with the dark.
(Breakdown 2)
And in this strange,
Exchange.
I now glow inside the void,
And they cast down shadows from above.
(Verse 3)
The tortured ones all come to me,
Like a moth to the light, they all love me.
But their love is pain and more suffering,
But that’s the way it’s supposed to be.
[CONTINUED]
Because I’m a devil.
It’s my natural birth rite.
And I glow where there is no light.
(Outro)
I’m something different.
I’m something different.
I’m something different…

Left-Hand Path

|
(Verse 1)
I want to stroll past the edge of darkness,
Tippy toe through your nightmares.
I want to swirl within lost illusions,
Exciting ghosts you fear, and make them reappear.
I want to dabble in forbidden folklore,
To hidden doors, I’ll find a key.
I want to smear what’s real and fiction,
Send those scratching beasts into reality…
(Verse 2)
Still the boy trying to summon demons,
Down in the cellar, all alone.
I want to fly high with the witches,
Kiss the mother, maiden, and the crone.
I want the recipes of the Beldams,
Watch that cauldron overflow.
Spiced with a wing of bat, a sting of snake,
A rat, and the eye of a toad…
(Verse 3)
I want to walk past the edge of darkness,
Tippy toe through your nightmares.
I want to swirl up lost illusions,
Exciting ghosts you fear, and make them reappear.
I want to dabble in forbidden folklore,
To hidden doors, I’ll find the keys.
I’m going to smear what’s real and fiction,
Send those scratching beasts into reality…

Nocturnal

(Verse 1)
The field’s alive with fireflies.
To and fro that’s what I know.
I want to go to the ones that know.
The moon glows into my soul.
(Chorus)
Yeah,
Into the night.
Yeah,
It feels so right,
It feels so right!
I’m nocturnal,
You’ll not turn us.
I’m nocturnal...
(Verse 2)
Headlights in my time.
Tombstones, that’s where I roam.
The wolves dine on my mind.
The stars align in my sky.
(Chorus)
Yeah,
Into the night.
Yeah,
It feels so right,
It feels so right!
I’m nocturnal,
You’ll not turn us.
I’m nocturnal,
You’ll not turn us.
(Solo)
Scrape away my face,
It’s there behind my eyes.
Scrape away my face,
It’s there behind my eyes.
(End)
I’m nocturnal!

Sweetbreads

|
(Verse 1)
You’re lost and off the trail and I’m following.
Your scent is in the air and it’s calling.
Branches snap and break as you start to run.
But in the darkest woods, in the darkest times, the darkest deeds are done.
(Chorus)
What I want is inside your neck, as I tear into your flesh,
For your Sweet Breads.
Sweet Breads.
(Verse 2)
In caverns within these hills I made my home.
These woods, they are forbidden, but still they roam.
Thrill seekers come to lay my myth to rest.
I’ll take their bones, I’ll take their hides,
But first I’ll taste what I like best.
(Chorus)
What I want inside your neck, as I tear into your flesh
For your Sweet Breads.
Sweet Breads.
Sweet Breads!
Sweet Breads...
(Chorus)
What I want inside your neck, as I tear into your flesh
For your Sweet Breads.
Sweet Breads.
Sweet Breads!
Sweet Breads...
