This is how we do it and we do it right Do it right Do it right Do it right Curse the hands that do the task in the wrong way Wrong way Wrong way Wrong way Slippin' and slidin' and slippin' and slidin' And slidin' and slippin' and slidin' and slippin' (repeats in background) The temperature is too high Too high Too high Too high But then again it might be too low Too low Too low Too low You're too warm You're too warm You're too warm Let me take your temperature And I will try to help you Let me take your temperature And I will try to cure you Let me take your temperature And I will try to solve you You're too cold You're too cold You're too cold Here is how to do it and you never learn Never learn Never learn Never learn Shame the brain that does the task in the bad way Bad way Bad way Bad way Tryin' and failin' and tryin' and failin' And failin' and tryin' and failin' and tryin' And failin' and tryin' (repeats in background) The temperature is too quick Too quick Too quick Too quick But then again it might be too slow Too slow Too slow Too slow You're too weak You're too weak You're too weak Let me take your temperature And I will try to help you Let me take your temperature And I will try to cure you Let me take your temperature And I will try to solve you.

And do you feel the time is well spent? And do you feel the time is well spent? For you know the clock is ticking For you know the clock is ticking Seconds, turn to minutes and then Hours, turn to days and then Months, turn to years and then Death will finally come (but when?) Death will finally come (but when?) Death will finally come (but when?) Death will finally come (but when?) Did you truly live at all? And do you think you are an absence? And do you think you are an absence? And that life is not enough now And that life is not enough now Seconds, turn to minutes and then Hours, turn to days and then Months, turn to years and then Life will eventually end (but how?) Life will eventually end (but how?) Life will eventually end (but how?) Life will eventually end (but how?) Stop this madness at once before I go insane Stop this madness at once before I go insane Stop this madness at once before I go insane Stop this madness at once before I go insane Seconds, turn to minutes and then Hours, turn to days and then Months, turn to years and then Months turn to years and then (go insane) (repeated)

Forest Folk 02:55
lyrics
buy track
Shelve your disbelief as they approach you now Here they come, all in green, all with curiosity Who is this? Who are they? Do they bring with them the cure? Strangest folk, quite bizarre, never have I seen their kind Stall your sense of dread as they begin to lick Leafy greens, probing you They are searching for a threat Forest Folk, pleasant folk They do not intend for harm Go with them, to their home See how they have blended in Slow your racing heart as they invite you in Village chief, out he comes Beckons with an evil grin Forest Folk, evil folk, They intend to cause you harm Only now, do you see They are not all that they seemed

Eyes Rot, Teeth Go Blind 01:18
lyrics

When I think the world has no more troubles And the people seem genuine lately I suddenly stop to doubt this lie Stop this insanity now, I'm drowning Because eyes rot (and teeth go blind) Nothing is permanent Nothing is permanent (not now, not ever, not now, not ever) Because eyes rot (and teeth go blind) The sight will fail us The sight will fail us (hunger will ail us, hunger will ail us) The executioners hand will deliver And the punishment will be pure silence Cold and distant, there won't be discussion Please me be, please adhere to the healing Because eyes rot (and teeth go blind) Nothing is permanent Nothing is permanent (not now, not ever, not now, not ever) Because eyes rot (and teeth go blind) The sight will fail us The sight will fail us (hunger will ail us, hunger will ail us)

Goodbye Sadness 03:06
lyrics

Why did you wave In this dark cave? Wished you to stay On this bright day Magic sparks fly Here we both lie White as a dove It is true love You are so pure I know for sure Moonlit rivers Breeze sends shivers Ride the cloud dream You are my queen Flowing night dress World's to excess Magenta skies One thousand sighs Infinite time Mountains we climb Tales at an end Hearts, souls ascend Forever mine You are divine

Prison Island 02:57
lyrics

Freedoms, you think of all your freedoms (or lack thereof) As the sunset melts again (tired Sun) Tired of repetition, routine (routine) And the dying youth you hold (farewell) "He looks out the window of the tower, across the vast lake and distant mountains where he grew up. He has been in this cell for over fifteen years now. Will he ever leave?" Madness, you think of all your madness (irreversible) In the tiny room you sit Exhausted from all the silence, routine (routine) And the failing soul you have (farewell) "He falls asleep once again, the night peeking over the horizon, blanketing the endless continent in a thick coat of despair and misfortune. A haggard face haunts his dreams, cackling 'This place will be your grave.' Writhing in terror, he awakes in a cold sweat. He glances around the dim room, illuminated only by the moonlight of the night sky. He longs to be reunited with the land down below. To run in the fields, to bathe in the oceans, to feed the animals, to-" Patience, you think of all your patience As the years go trickling by Jaded from all the nothing, routine (routine) And the lack of will you cradle (farewell) (Escape is but a dream)
