Ever

If we never see
Then we’ll forever sleep
While rolling on the moors
or crumpled on the floor

Oh, Mab has a plan for me

We run for our lives
From the life we would chance
We hide and let it pass
While we’re making plans
Come take my hand here under the trance
I hope when we arise
we don’t get crushed by the sands

Oh, Mab has a plan for me

We’ll look up and see
Then we can ride the beams
Then we will speak no lies
Or perish when we die

Oh, Mab has a plan for me
Trapped in a dream
Let me know when I can go
Oh, she brings us to our knees
Will we decide to leave?
Will our live cease to seem
Void of worth and dead at birth?
Oh, it’s time for us to leave…

If we never see
Then we’ll forever sleep
While rolling on the moors
or crumpled on the floor

Oh, Mab has a plan for me

We’re mentally bruised, tattered, and torn
We covered it with sleep and now we’re deformed
We slept for so long
Oh why can’t we wake?
Don’t end it girl
please don’t make that mistake ever

If I Speak

If I speak much louder will you hear me where you are?
I’ll light that beacon now

I drank enough to drown what life had offered as a gift
My broken heart can’t swim
I opened up a door to find out where my heroes went
Is my heart like theirs now?

Refrain:
One more lotus on the shore
And we may never set sail again
Dream, dream, take me back again
After you there’s nothing left

If I speak much louder will you hear me where you are?
I’ll light that beacon now
If I let the pull of yearning steal me from this course
You’ll never find me then

Refrain:
One more lotus on the shore
And we may never set sail again
Dream, dream, take me back again
After you there’s nothing left

I drank enough to drown what life had offered as a gift
My broken heart can’t swim
I pushed aside a world to find one suitable for us
Just listen and we’re there

Refrain:
One more lotus on the shore
And we may never set sail again
Dream, dream, take me back again
After you there’s nothing left

One more lotus on the shore
And we may never set sail again
Dream, dream, take me back again
After you there’s nothing left

When The Sky

Someone has to pay
For me
Oh will you suffer in my place?
You said you loved me
No, not one more hour
I might not make it through

Someone had to say
Don’t stare if I crumble in disgrace
I promise not to fall before the hour
I promise not to wane

You were there and we never fell
When the sky was alive
With the sound of someone else
You can see if it’s all we need
When I catch my heal
I will never waver

Someone had to say
Don’t stare at me with torpor and disdain
I promise not to fall before the hour
of darkness and dismay

You were there and we never fell
When the sky was alive
With the sound of somewhere else
You can see if it’s all we need
When I catch my heal
I will never waver

Someone had to pay
Someone has to pay
Someone has to pay
I guess it will be me

Harlot of Nations

Harlot of nations
Abominations
Of the world and all her adulteries

Mystery, Babylon
Mother of harlots
Abominations
The rise and fall of Rome
The rise and fall of Rome
Mystery, Babylon
Mother of harlots
Abominations of the earth
Abominations of the earth

Refrain:
I saw it all, she rode in
Soaked in the blood
The blood of men

Mystery, Babylon
Mother of harlots
Abominations
New Babylon the great
She sits on many waters
Mystery, Babylon
Mother of harlots
Abominations of the earth
Abominations of the earth

Refrain:
I saw it all, she rode in
Soaked in the blood
The blood of men

Mystery, Babylon
Mother of harlots
Abominations of the earth
The great adulteress
Has been with all the kings
Mystery, Babylon
Mother of harlots
Abominations of the earth
Seven heads and ten horns

Refrain:
I saw it all, she rode in
Soaked in the blood
The blood of men
