The sun will rise and the sun will fall On these dead mans bones Search this earth as a common man Trying to build up stones Plant some seeds far across this land Walk an old dirt road Spend youths time on the fighting lines Where its rough and slow You can tug on good and evil with old ragged rope Be the saint or sinner, our time is unknown And we all know a stranger Running down dark halls Riding on a black horse Reaper in the cloth And we all know the danger Lurking down dark halls Riding on a black horse Coming for your soul

Ebb & Flow 03:37
Down the rows the gardener goes Pulling weeds away from cold tombstones Sees a grave that has his name Smells the wind and knows his fate A rambling man with weathered hands Hiding out, now waiting on the dead A soul adrift, no wife or kids Tiptoes 'round never to be missed In the ebb and flow Waves will take you were you go In the ebb and flow Wave will guide you with rhythm Through currents that you don't know Once a Prince in a foreign land Born to rule, had a ring upon his hand And a bride to be, she had eyes in green Love was in her heart, as water is the sea Now He digs the holes For the bodies with no soul The caption reads "rest in peace" Almost out of time, the years gone by Asks the Lord for grace and mercy Lord please In the eb and flow Waves will take you were you go In the eb and flow Wave will guide you with rhythm Through currents that you don't know There's a man behind the scenes Who forgot how to dream

So cold Autumn winds they blow Calloused hearts Sink like stones Shed these clothes Burn in the fire Babylon fell with desire I will let this great world spin Walk its tight rope from end to end Found forgiveness is hard to give So I will let this great world spin Hollowed words can bring you down Where you lie holding hands with the ground I will let this great world spin Walk its tight rope from end to end Found forgiveness is hard to give So I will let this great world spin

On this road I've been burned At the crux of my hearts turns Set down to die In the sorrow of my lovers eyes Man has faults just like me Weighs us down like a guilty plea Put on trail for this world to see Love is the verdict that we've reached I was born into the night Lived by faith, yeah and not by sight Soon these troubles will disappear And symphonies of beauty play in my ear Living in the shadow lands is where I've gone Never realized they were caused by the sun Imaginary darkness is who I believed Envisions of the past enslaved me Rain fall down upon my face Wash this filthy grit away Turn back the clock when I used to chase The beauty of a dream and its glory days I was born into the night Lived by faith, yeah and not by sight Soon these troubles will disappear And symphonies of beauty play in my ear Living in the shadow lands is where I've gone Never realized they were caused by the sun Imaginary darkness is who I believed Envisions of the past enslaved me And for what its worth I've found new life in the sounds and sights And for what its worth I've found new life in the sounds and sights of love And for what its worth I am found And for what its worth We are found
