[Intro: Choir]
(Out of the darkness
And into the bright light
We carry the ties
That we bind to you)

[Verse: Floor Jansen]
I am the broken blooming bough
The countless sunsets of a lost world
See me, see me
So alike we are, you and us, soon
See me, see you
On an island of a shipless crew
				

[Verse 1]
A mariner under a sky moonlit
On an island of a crewless ship
A few decades of immortality ahead
A one-man crew for a one-way trip
Islands, islands everywhere
I keep my range with crowded sails
My waves, they kiss every shore I land
Steep cliffs will mock my waving hand

[Verse 2]
Islanders, villagers, universal mariners
Calling me, guiding me, monsters far beneath
Hurricanes on the way, lunatic weathervanes
Shipwrecked lovers on a faraway cay
Passing by butterflies, fluttering for a day
Jokers, jesters, Goddesses, hominidae
Deep delicious blue beneath
I'll steer wherever tomorrow is near

[Pre-Chorus]
Light a beacon so I can navigate
Through the tempest, through the madness
Light a homefire for the sad man with a begging hand
Light a beacon so I can navigate
Through the tempest following the quintet
Ride on the highest wave
Bring me to life
To them who dance in the daylight

[Chorus]
Sail and seek
The starbound quay
Calling you, calling me
To be a part of your story

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Here raining ash to cover the dead
An island of the past wrecks
Of you, of the endless sundown
Hemlock meadows, deepest quicksand
Empty harbor by a wasteland
Mirrors, mirrors, everywhere
For you of mad despair

[Refrain]
Friends, who were for a time
Now grapes of sour wine
Lords of a single fly
Still, I rue no island of shared solitude

[Bridge]
You who glow in deepest woe
Let it be, retiree, the water's fine
Sail carefree
[Chorus]
Sail and seek
The starbound quay
Calling you, calling me
To be a part of your story
On these strange islands

[Instrumental Outro]
				

[Verse 1: Floor Jansen]
Unearth a weave of a lost world
Your fathers' voice no more unheard

[Pre-Chorus: Troy Donockley]
Sixty times to the sun and back I return
Just imagine an awake tomorrow

[Chorus: Floor Jansen]
Humankind, reconciled, human child, undefiled
Navigate, celebrate
History, mystery, afterlife will arrive
Outermost, reaches of human mind
Labyrinth, navigate, animate
Avatar of the tides
In the end, to the stars

[Post-Chorus: Floor Jansen]
Tools of mankind
All odds defied
This hour is ours
Dare us dare

[Verse 2: Floor Jansen]
From a brave old world, the days of yore
An ancient orrеry reading the gods
Aiming for truth, starbound, they saw
Thе library burns, prophets are crowned
 
[Pre-Chorus: Floor Jansen & Troy Donockley]
Millenia of darkness for the fallow

[Chorus: Floor Jansen]
Humankind, reconciled, human child, undefiled
Navigate, celebrate
History, mystery, afterlife will arrive
Outermost, reaches of human mind
Labyrinth, navigate, animate
Avatar of the tides
In the end, to the stars

[Post-Chorus: Floor Jansen]
Tools of mankind
All odds defied
This hour is ours
Dare us dare

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge: Floor Jansen]
From Lucy's prints
To those on the moon
And from the moon
To the...
[Chorus: Floor Jansen]
Humankind, reconciled, human child, undefiled
Navigate, celebrate
History, mystery, afterlife will arrive
Outermost, reaches of human mind
Labyrinth, navigate, animate
Avatar of the tides
In the end, to the stars
Humankind, reconciled, human child, undefiled
Navigate, celebrate
History, mystery, afterlife will arrive
Outermost, reaches of human mind
Labyrinth, navigate, animate
Avatar of the tides
In the end, to the stars
				

[Verse 1]
Take shelter, skies are humming
Armageddon, second coming
War of the worlds, the end of history
Take shelter, floods are rising
The wrath of thunderous drumming
End of days for mankind, and for your kin
Fill those empty moments, fear more
In this grave new world of '84
Fast death, last breath, A.I. to kill us all
Horse waste covering London
Martians among us, Y2K
Hoard, all aboard, the end is near

[Chorus]
We are the ill-starred kids of your junkyard
The innocent islands unscarred
The moment of our nadir
So many times passed thе due date
Too late, gathеr up
It's the day of

[Verse 2]
Purgatory, same old story
Cower before a caliphate glory
The big read of today will gallow you
Keep you small
Here's a million ropes for the hangman
Nightmare cavalcade for the sandman
Mind virus, fear of the well-known
Keep us safe (Keep us safe)
We are too many for our Mother
Crops will burn so why bother
A new strain sent you back into your cave
Obey, stay away, cover up
Fear the words, feeding humanity
Hide the unshot guns and the crippled dancing

[Chorus]
We are the ill-starred kids of your junkyard
The innocent islands unscarred
The moment of our nadir
So many times passed the due date
Too late, gather up
It's the day of

[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]
It's a long road to a dreamworld
All the pain and suffering to feel for
It's there, but yours is an empty sermon

[Verse 3]
Made up the sun rising
Made sense of equus flying
Time for another fear made real
A need to feel dread, gloom, awe
A lust for never-ending doom porn
A man-shaped evil walks among us
Obey, stay away, cover up
Fear the words, the feed, feed the human beast
Hide the unshot guns, the end is fear
[Chorus]
We are the ill-starred kids of your junkyard
The innocent islands unscarred
The moment of our nadir
So many times passed the-
We are the ill-starred kids of your junkyard
The innocent islands unscarred
The moment of our nadir
So many times passed the due date
Due date
				

[Verse 1: Floor Jansen]
Something from the earth came
Something for the world
Mosaic of broken fragile pieces
Tesserae of the deceased
Born to a novel world

[Pre-Chorus: Floor Jansen]
Endless chain unbroken
Silent clocks rewinding
My song, it is for mankind
Embers to the stars

[Chorus: Floor Jansen]
We are their heir, dust on their palm
We are because of a million loves
We're the perfume of the timeless
Last sighs on a dеathbed
Time set for a curious ghost

[Verse 2: Floor Jansen]
Livеs lived plain and epic
Of eudaemonia
Twelve score and one chain of lives unending
Welcoming as my offspring
Walks me to the weave

[Pre-Chorus: Floor Jansen]
My song, it is for mankind
Embers to the stars

[Chorus: Floor Jansen]
We are their heir, dust on their palm
We are because of a million loves
We're the perfume of the timeless
Last sighs on a deathbed
We are their heir, dust on their palm
We are because of a million loves
We're the perfume of the timeless
Last sighs on a deathbed
Time set for a curious ghost

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Floor Jansen]
We are their heir, dust on their palm
We are because of a million loves
We're the perfume of the timeless
Last sighs on a deathbed
We are their heir, dust on their palm
We are because of a million loves
We're the perfume of the timeless
Last sighs on a deathbed
Time set for a curious ghost
[Outro: Troy Donockley]
We are their heir, dust on their palm
We are because of a million loves
We're the perfume of the timeless
Last sighs on a deathbed
We are their heir, dust on their palm
We are because of a million loves
We're the perfume of the timeless
Last sighs of a million loves
				

[Verse 1: Floor Jansen & Troy Donockley]
Child of mankind
Of yesterwynde
Sway away the woe in us
A grateful soul never needed much
Emanate the heavens
Through your touch

[Chorus: Floor Jansen & Troy Donockley]
Sway over the mountaintops
Soar over the swaying crops
Adorn your garden with
A perfect day
Sway over the discontent
Ghost stories in a tent
Your house lands on the witch
See yourself

[Verse 2: Floor Jansen & Troy Donockley]
It has begun to snow again
In this perfect village, home
The birds have flown, the birds have known
Where you rest your worn out wings

[Chorus: Floor Jansen & Troy Donockley]
Sway over the mountaintops
Soar ovеr the swaying crops
Adorn your garden with
A perfеct day
Sway over the discontent
Ghost stories in a tent
Your house lands on the witch
See yourself

[Bridge: Floor Jansen & Troy Donockley]
Some stories heal and some will scar
The big reveal awaits in awe
The big reveal awaits us all
The big reveal
The big reveal awaits us all
The big reveal awaits us all

[Outro: Troy Donockley, Floor Jansen]
Sway over the mountaintops
Get that dance out of you
Sway away, sway away
Over the mountaintops
Sway away
				

[Intro: Choir]
Fonu oku mafu he mamahi 'oka malu efiafi
Kuo hapai koe 'e 'oseni
Foki maiki ‘api hoku ngaahi foha

[Verse 1: Floor Jansen]
Still vastness in the horizon
Fifteen long months under mocking sun
Land threw us there, away from world
Plays to us music yet unheard
We were there
We were there

[Verse 2: Floor Jansen]
Still vastness in our heartbeat
Solitude and woe tear us apart?
They say that man is the foulest beast
Roaming the hills of self-deceit
But we came back
We came back

[Chorus: Floor Jansen]
We are the ones to tell you why
The world of us, it will survive
Light a fire for the boat afar
Campsite Gaia
We all are
The children of 'Ata

[Verse 3: Floor Jansen]
This guitar we built still chimes with hope
Never gave our souls to the carrion crows
Every new day we saw the sun rise
Every new day we beat the lord of flies
We were there
We're still here

[Chorus: Floor Jansen]
We are the ones to tell you why
The world of us, it will survive
Light a fire for the boat afar
Campsite Gaia
We all are
The children of 'Ata

[Interlude: Floor Jansen, Choir]
Ko 'etu lotu ke tau mo'ui
'Oku mau keoi lepa atu pe
We are the ones to tell you why
We are the ones
Ko 'etu lotu ke tau mo'ui
'Oku mau keoi lepa atu pe

[Bridge: Floor Jansen]
We're all here
On an island of black seas
Red in tooth
Red in claw
Red in love, the passionate young
We're still here
On an island of soon free
Learning to live
Yearning to give
The stranded a ride back home
[Chorus: Floor Jansen]
We are the ones to tell you why
The world of us, it will survive
Light a fire for the boat afar
Campsite Gaia
Remember
The children of 'Ata
				

[Verse 1: Floor Jansen]
Came to be of this world
I see an open door
Her waters moonlight lit
Her secret ancient lore
A cleanest slate untouched
By a single wave or breeze
Standing on a birthplace of
A glorious yesterday

[Chorus: Floor Jansen, Troy Donockley]
Then one day something whispered follow me
One life, one strike to follow something real
Once there was something hidden within me (Within me)
Stardust to dust, a tapestry in between

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: Floor Jansen]
Go find your mountain
Go paint a forest blue
Go build a treehouse underground
And a graveyard with a view
Never miss a perfect storm
Always follow the herd uncalled
Welcome the heaven sent
Silence of a thrilling fall

[Chorus: Floor Jansen, Troy Donockley]
Then one day something whispered follow me
One life, one strike to follow something real
Once there was something hidden within me (Within me)
Stardust to dust, a tapestry in between

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro: Floor Jansen, Floor Jansen & Troy Donockley]
Follow me
Follow me
Something in between
Something whispered
Something in between
Something whispered
Something within me
Something whispered
Something within me
Something whispered


				

[Verse 1: Floor Jansen]
What did you weave during the moonlight hours?
Did you create or did you wait and trap the unaware fly?
Sucking him dry
Where did you get that little cross on your back?
Marked for life, a needle in a haystack
A laboring beast ready to feast

[Chorus: Floor Jansen]
Spin away the delicate silver silk of your web
On your masterpiece
Cut the thread, once you're done with the newly dead
And weave a new one

[Verse 2: Floor Jansen]
Spider silk, cocooned in unsung wonders
Motionless, she looks for stolеn moments
Spinning away, a mystery play
Emotionless, shе picks a life in waiting
Cutting the yarn, another death creating
Spider silk, a beautiful spin

[Chorus: Floor Jansen]
Spin away the delicate silver silk of your web
On your masterpiece
Cut the thread, once you're done with the newly dead
And weave a new one
Spin away the delicate silver silk of your web
On your masterpiece
Cut the thread, once you're done with the newly dead
And weave a new one

[Bridge: Floor Jansen]
Spin away, spin away, spin away, spin away
Spin away, spin away, spin away, spin away
Spin away, spin away, spin away, come spin away
Spin away, spin away, spin away, spin away (Oh, come spin away)
Spin away, spin away, spin away, spin away
Spin away, spin away, spin away, come spin away
Spin away, come spin away

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Floor Jansen, Troy Donockley, Both]
Spin away the delicate silver silk of your web
Cut the thread
And weave a new one
Spin away the delicate silver silk of your web
On your masterpiece
Cut the thread, once you're done with the newly dead
And weave a new one
Spin away the delicate silver silk of your web
On your masterpiece
Cut the thread, once you're done with the newly dead
And weave a new one

[Outro: Floor Jansen, Troy Donockley]
Spin away (Spin away), spin away (Spin away)
Spin away (Spin away), spin away (Spin away)
				

[Intro: Troy Donockley]
Hiraeth

[Verse 1: Troy Donockley]
Walk with me a while
By this creek of life
Beneath a cathedral
Of trees cloudhigh

[Pre-Chorus: Troy Donockley & Floor Jansen]
Step in to this view
Get that dance out of you

[Chorus: Floor Jansen]
Neverending
Longing for the what if's
For a home that once was
For a ghost love lullaby
Ever tending
Watering the dead fields
Living with the hurt will
Tear the blue from shining eyes

[Verse 2 Troy Donockley, Floor Jansen & Troy Donockley]
Loneliness caressing me
A beast still roams these hills
Long to belong
Bleeding birds singing songs
Nights filled with light we don't see

[Chorus: Troy Donockley & Floor Jansen]
Neverеnding
Longing for the what if's
For a home that once was
For a ghost lovе lullaby
Ever tending
Watering the dead fields
Living with the hurt will
Tear the blue from shining eyes
Neverending

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro: Floor Jansen, Floor Jansen & Troy Donockley]
Neverending
Longing for the what if's
Home
				

[Intro]
Light

[Verse 1]
First cry, language of the unheard
Old ghosts dancing to a new birth
Knit from souls vanished long gone
Into one, a Reaper's sideshow
First step, open gates to homesteads
Last thought innocent and unscathed
Tenth spring, sirens knitting mindscapes
Passion of the young, anchors aweigh

[Chorus]
He of myriad songs
Of a lifelong call
Cries its moment to the stars
Rips a withering heart
To fall apart
The unweaving has begun

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
The unweaving has begun
To fall apart
Rips a withering heart
Cries its moment to the stars
Of a lifelong call
He of myriad songs
Thе unweaving has begun

[Verse 2]
Passion of the young, anchors awеigh
Tenth spring, sirens knitting mindscapes
Last thought innocent and unscathed
First step, open gates to homesteads
Into one, a Reaper's sideshow
Knit from souls vanished long gone
Old ghosts dancing to a new birth
First cry, language of the unheard

[Outro]
Light
				

[Verse 1: Floor Jansen]
Gone is the hurt, the wait
Gone is the warmth of day
A stray boat saved, happy memories engraved
On into a velvety night
Beneath a lanternlight

[Chorus: Floor Jansen]
Last night brought the heaviest of snows
Melting the songs of old
Tying the boat, write a new one soon
Sending me to the drowning moon
Far above a lanternlight

[Verse 2: Floor Jansen, Troy Donockley]
I'm in the light and flood
I'm in the four winds
I am the waves shaping pebbles flawless gems
I am the snow on your palm

[Chorus: Floor Jansen, Troy Donockley]
I am the secret stream
Moss beneath your feet
I am you who climbed off of my back
Not long ago
A sheltered song in a world now gone
Petrichor
The timeless

[Bridge: Floor Jansen]
Turn loose the swaying boat
Meltwater, sound of spring
I hear our song now, sung by the free
For a thousand more tomorrows
Of an incomplete weave
To the meadows I go
I’ll be waiting for you
Once upon a lanternlight

[Outro: Troy Donockley, Floor Jansen]
I walk now toward the trees
I am the secret stream
The night falling at my feet
Into the forest of Yesterwynde
