What if every choice is wrong Each act, an arrow dipped in poison They prowl the maze And follow my string My quiver empty I prepare for their sting Once shot, an arrow can’t be called back What if every choice is wrong A tale already told, conclusion foregone The labyrinth crumbles (the Gorgon's head) I hold fast the skein (the Gorgon's head) Knot after knot (the Gorgon's head) Each preordained

Magus 01:49
They built the castle Enduring and sublime They begged the Magus To bless their grand design But he refused all of their demands He said their castle was only sand And soon the waves will walk To make an ocean of this land So they razed the castle Tower, hall and gate They begged the Magus Foretell another fate But he refused and brooded by the sea He said I enchanted you, and you protected me (Save us, Magus) He said the floods also come for me For diviner and disciple Faith - a grain upon the beach

Wolf Mask 02:39
The old soldier misses the fever of war The sober thirst for a drink The saint whose sins defined him In heaven, dreams of escape A bargain struck between rivals They shake hands and turn away Each looking over their shoulder again To plot the next bloody raid Put the wolf mask on Put the wolf mask on Wear the skin of night Put the wolf mask on Put the wolf mask on One last time Dream a life so ordinary Nothing needs to be fixed Disquiet, discomfort, heartache and doubt Taken in hand and banished Welcome sedation, the calming glow To keep your fears at bay Serene, savor freedom from want And all this freedom to waste Does real trouble start when troubles end Victory all but assured Hardest to accept is hard times are gone Dazed on a wide open road Put the wolf mask on Put the wolf mask on Wear the skin of night Put the wolf mask on Put the wolf mask on One last time One last time

Plague Dogs 01:20
In such strange fields we're lost Hunted by the frost We fugitives, we cursed Find warmth in the earth Through a season of ice Seize a scrap of life Swallow the light Preserve it inside A lost dog seeks a vanished man An eidolon of his gentle hand Beckoning across the sea If I drown in hope, don't grieve for me When the sunshine grows sharp In summer's golden claws Memory knits our bond How we outlived the dark Lost dog seeks vanished man An eidolon of his gentle hand Let us drown in hope And live on As plague dogs
5.
To the wounded and scorned To specters forlorn To love's shadow Howling like snow Again and again I will confess Until the words Have lost their sense Will choirs sing If I've atoned The dungeon answers The echoes, my own Night won't fall Day won't break No point in leaving No reason to stay A past gone lean Ghostly and white I inch on with my cane By some false light Of the blues that were sung on a careless day And the hymns to the sea that were asked to stay Of the wine-soaked tales of gutter-born grace I wail like clay
