The Spell 03:46
The Spell It was done so quiet and still that you did not feel the spell. in the doorway of your room things in wishing will be grown desert birds and burning eyes when the sun goes down we rise desert birds and burning eyes when the sun goes down we rise It was done so quiet and still that you did not feel the spell. when the moon has turned her face I will be your worst mistake. desert birds and burning eyes when the sun goes down we rise desert birds and burning eyes when the sun goes down we rise Burn me when it's my turn but this will not be reversed when the moon has turned her face I will be your worst mistake.

Keep Your Secrets (Old Tricks, New Guises) Out there, as you go, beware who you know there are some who will only bring you sorrow. Know that there are some who will not be fair keep your secrets close and them unaware old tricks in new guises, old ways in disguise codewords under their breath Careful what you get Out there, as you go, beware all you know Seeming is not seeing, look behind the screen: old cons in new skins, old games, new machines Know that there are some who will not be fair keep your secrets close and them unaware Keep your secrets close, and them far away Old tricks all unchanging under other names

Circe's Island I will call him and make him a charm I will call him and make him a charm in the mirror reflecting the tide Circe's island, where there is no time Stay & Stay & Stay Here on the island & forget your name Here on the island I will call him and make him a charm waves to carry him far from his home in the mirror reflecting the tide Circe's island, where there is no time You shall have a place crouching at my table here you will remain. Loyal Spartan brides, sadly they are waiting Here you will remain smudge your faces with signs of your own leave no traces that you were a man in the mirror reflecting the tide Circe's island, where there is no time You shall have a place crouching at my table here you will remain. Stay & Stay & Stay Here on the island & forget your name Here on the island Here on the island Here on the island

In The Sea We Will Stay I sleep 1000 years and you are what I dream I lie awake for hours and you are all I see In the sea We will Stay Millions of Tiny Waves In the sea We will Stay Millions of Tiny Waves He kissed me as we fell This is just how we live I kissed him as we fell This is just how we live. Under the heavy waves in shadows turning green in shadows burning green a labyrinth of eves Delusions of a charm of hands in emerald rings we two escape alone away from everything Pretend this is the world with ribbons all undone we two escape alone away from everyone

By Opal Pools Deep in the wood, when we were one, when we were one, my only, the rain came down, melting the ground and you were flung far from me. Tear my heart out, Love. By opal pools, covered in shells you spoil all my scheming when rain comes down, melts solid ground you hide in a cloud of steam. By opal pools, lit by the moon, you ruin all my scheming night-singing birds, jasmine in bloom You hide in a cloud of steam.

How You Know 02:08
How You Know How do you know he will always love you ? What will you do if you get a surprise, everything out of his mouth is a lie? la la, la la la, la la la. How do you know he will always love you How do you know he will always be true? What will you do if you get a surprise, everything between his lips is a lie? la la, la la la, la la la. I'll tell you how I know he will be true all that I know I can see in his eyes everything else is a miserable lie. la la, la la la, la la la.

In A Story 03:05
n a Story Like a girl in a story I was lost in a forest I was lost in a forest When I was scared and weak you were there, conveniently, to lead me farther astray I said one day you'd drink the tears I cry I said one day you'd drink the tears I cry You'll have to test the poisons that you made the traps you set before you ran away Like a girl in a story I was lost in a forest I was lost in a forest Further in, further misled spun into disastrous webs spun in your disastrous webs I said one day you'd drink the tears I cry I said one day you'd drink the tears I cry In shifting sands your houses all of clay will be flooded in the troubles that you made

Letters in Ashes Has it always been this way back to Zoroaster pretty dresses, barely worn, thrown into the fire? Letters in Ashes glow spelling out where to go letters in ashes show where to go, where to go Are we shipwrecked on the shore fixed into position? Things half hinted of are seen when you pay attention. Letters in Ashes glow spelling out where to go letters in ashes show where to go, where to go

Witches' Ball What was the waltz? What was the waltz? You swung around on the floor like a whirlpool Look in his eyes What a surprise You're falling faster than I did Can't you hear the forest calling with low and mysterious cries? Love is a forest so come out and dance at the witches' ball tonight. What was that thought? I saw it go by You can hide all you want but you can't hide from my sight Why don't you look? Uncover your eyes What is it you are afraid of? Can't you hear the forest calling with low and mysterious cries? Love is a forest so come out and dance at the witches' ball tonight.
