The air is heavy and the lights are low And I don’t think I’m gonna make it home Have a strange feeling that something’s not right A feeling that it gonna rain tonight The darkness is getting closer A feel the pressure building Look around there’s no one to be seen I’m sure as hell there’s someone after me The hair is standing on the back of my neck Palms are sweaty there’s no turning back The darkness is getting closer I hear the sons of thunder Cast a shadow – across the full moon – going back through time Voices calling – from far off places – vague sound so distant The fog is heavy and the tide is high Take the back route keep out of sight Hear the raven’s call a foreboding sign Superstition got me out of my mind Keep moving forwards – there’s no turning back – keep out of sight avoid being seen Keep moving forwards – there’s no turning back – keep out of sight avoid being seen The darkness is getting closer A feel the pressure building The air is heavy and the lights are low And I don’t think I’m gonna make it home The darkness is getting closer I hear the sons of thunder Cast a shadow – across the full moon – going back through time Voices calling – from far off places – vague sound so distant Cast a shadow – across the full moon – going back through time Voices calling – from far off places – vague sound so distant Time – time – time – time - across the full moon – going back through time Time – time – time – time - from far off places – vague sound so distant Keep moving forwards – there’s no turning back – keep out of sight avoid being seen Keep moving forwards – there’s no turning back – keep out of sight avoid being seen

Hawks call to their brothers across the hillside Strange forces conspire to confound our compasses This hatred is out of control – how far have we fallen? This hatred is out of control – how far have we fallen? This hatred is out of control – how far have we fallen? This hatred is out of control – and we spend so much time reminiscing The smell of fear manifests in rhetoric The boiling turmoil will give rise to painful rebirth This hatred is out of control – how far have we fallen? This hatred is out of control – how far have we fallen? This hatred is out of control – how far have we fallen? This hatred is out of control – and we spend so much time reminiscing How far have we fallen? And we spend so much time, spend so much time. How far have we fallen? And we spend so much time, spend so much time. How far have we fallen? And we spend so much time, spend so much time. How far have we fallen? HOW – FAR – HAVE – WE – FALLEN – FALLEN I run with the wolves Damn the hawks and damn the doves I run with the wolves Damn the hawks and damn the doves I run…

Dead End 05:00
Escape from the city to the cradle - the cradle that gave us life Adapt and recognise the changes – within the limits of earth We stand at a crossroads – for all future generations The same cannot be maintained the strain The same cannot be maintained Modify to maintain We have to adapt to profound changes – the changes that are coming Close to the end of – this road is a dead end The same cannot be maintained the strain The same cannot be maintained Modify to maintain You cannot hide From the changes That are coming Turn the page for a new beginning – with opportunity in mind There’s much to be had beyond comfort – give freely and receive in kind Cast off the shackles We stand at a crossroads Stark choices remain Stark choices remain
