Why so sad baby brother
Why so blue
Is it that we’re strange and different
Me and you
Some say we got it from our Mother
But I think, Papa, too
It’s a gift we’ll carry on forever
Me and you

In silken shadow
On orange rust meadow
There lies the shape of
A name a place of
Possibility
Would you tether me
To the feathery gown, oh Heather
I’ve lost my mind to
The sun and fresh dew
Upon your skin, oh
And countless sins, oh
Do you bathe your horns in
A quill pulled poison
For I feel this drunkenness
Is all I have left
Possibility
Would you tether me
To the feathery gown, oh Heather
I’ve lost my mind to
The sun and fresh dew
Upon your skin, oh
And countless sins, oh

Had a dream you were near
Had a dream there were no fears
Or sad goodbyes from your sighing eyes
Just a hand to hold
Just a promise to not grow old
Until our parting ends
And our memories mend
When the pack returns in two years
And the migrant journeys cease
Will you awkward smile, your new crest adorned
Or whisper something sweet
When the pack returns in two years
And the migrant journeys cease
Will you awkward smile, your new crest adorned
Or whisper something sweet
Had a wish that came true
Had a wish to never see you

Remember me as the link
There’s a strength in my wings
I can fly
I can sing
My Father’s Father he ran and strayed
Across the land and far away
But I never never never never never never never never never never never never
Heard him say
What to run from
Why we should take flight
If there’s a darkness
That the sun can’t fight
Remember me as the link
There’s a magic in my heart
I can reach the heavens
I can reach the stars
I can run from
I can take flight
If there’s a darkness
That the sun can’t fight

Oliver, Oliver, don’t you let yourself go
There are harder days to come
The king has called a feast
Of the slow and the weak
So, Oliver, Oliver, don’t you let yourself go
Your eggs are safe
But you must, you must
Remain awake, awake
Stay, stay, stay, stay, won’t you stay so still
The boys are out with orders to kill
The moon is at it’s peak
And the light can barely reach
Stay, stay, stay, stay, won’t you stay so still
Your eggs are safe
But you must, you must
Remain awake, awake

I still think of you
From time to time
Though your blade is drawn now
For my eyes
I’ve allotted hours
In solitude
Scratched your name
Near open tide
You remember when
Oh, shimmer sea
I held you close
And asked to be
More than a fright
To the unannounced
A canon, love
Your harmony
Searching sail, tender sail
‘Neath the green of the deep
Swimming hard, torchered tale
In the darkness, I withered, keep
I only ask
To see your face
And favored lines
I used to trace
Like paths along
The hinterlands
I everlong
For your embrace
Searching sail, tender sail
‘Neath the green of the deep
Swimming hard, torchered tale
In the darkness, I withered, keep

Sarah, won’t you lay your armor down
You are so much more, than a herbivore
Turn around, that whimsical frown
Sarah, you’re a queen with a mean streak
Still, I love your tail, fully equipped with nails
Girl, you’ll never find a need
And when we grow old and die
Let’s promise not to cry, my baby

Why so much lava?
Why so much pain?
Is it true this mountain holds the
Fiery, fiery reins
Towers in the morning
Ashes by the night
Could it be this mountain’s burning
Burning for a fight
Burning for a fight
Burning for a fight
It killed our Grandpa Quincy
And our Father Quade
Baby there’s no returning
From that magma grave
I call upon my Brothers
And my Sisters too
Gotta join our wings to end this
Bloody, bloody flume
Bloody, bloody flume
Bloody, bloody flume

She spoke
In fragments between
Subtle flesh on the beam
That she broke
How her claws
In the lime, light the way
Through the pines and
The smoke
In the forest, forest, forest
I awoke
In the forest, forest, forest
I awoke
Only to find that the flesh it was mine
I awoke
In the forest, forest, forest
I awoke
In the forest, forest, forest
I awoke
Only to find that the flesh it was mine
I awoke

I am king of nothing
Holding fast to my last breath
All the stars I marveled at
Have been taken from the sky
Though it stays forever night
No more need to prey
This whole town has passed away
And the earth it screams
Like it’s bursting at the seams
Friends once roamed this forest
Blood lust turned to dead rest
All the sights and sounds missed
Drowned by a constant singing
Death’s bells they are a ringing
No more need to prey
This whole town has passed away
And the earth it screams
Like it’s bursting at the seams
I am king of nothing
