CARDINAL - Leave the migration | Navigate through the air | Spiral down from the branches | Find a way to disappear | With the current around you | Sing a song if you can | Make a home make a shelter | Shift your weight to the sand | Not listening | Not receiving | Only breathing | Outside the window | Cardinal surveys the land | Calculates a percentage | Then takes flight again | Not listening | Not receiving | Only breathing | Pick up the pieces | Hold them tightly in your hand | Count from one to a million | Let them fall where you stand | Not listening | Not receiving | Only breathing

CIPHERS - Something hidden | Sent through wires | As ones and zeros | Through the night | Manipulated | WIth intention | Purpose and motive | A grand design | It took the names | It took the numbers | Turned to cipher | Kept from sight | New prime directive | Something hidden | Sent through wires | Like branches reaching | For a light | It took the names | It took the numbers | Turned to cinders | Still burning bright | New prime directive | Something hidden | Sent through wires | Like branches reaching | For a light | Not the problem | Just a symptom | Of the hive mind | All for the hive

MOTH - When it hit you | You were fast in flight | You were in the dark but you found the light | Now you’re bruised and broken | With no end in sight | But you won’t give up the fight | Listen to the stars in your head at night | Through a doorway in your mind | Oh no | Push out the darkness in your mind | You can’t let it get inside | Oh no | You’re always hoping | That this will be your last | Just remember these things pass

YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT TWICE - You wanted to believe | It was the perfect crime | But now you feel the teeth | As the dog starts to bite | You hope the bones don’t break | With your hand in the vise | No it’s not alright | You should have thought twice | Now the wind will howl | A song of your demise | You’ve had many lives | But you’re on number nine | The last sound you hear | Before you fall through the ice | Now you will pay | You should have thought twice | You know you should have thought twice | With the wolf at the door | He already got Jim | Now he’s come back for more | There’s blood on your mouth | And doom in your eyes | You know I’m not gonna lie | I think you should have thought twice | There’s a plague on the land | There’s trouble in paradise | With an animal fear | It all starts to unwind | Now you can run to the hills | Or you can roll the dice | Either way | You ‘re gonna have to think twice | You know you better think twice | Before you open the door | Well, we could ask Jim | But Jim’s not here anymore | Before you go to ground | Before you turn out the light | Roll away the stone | And take a look inside | But can you accept | Whatever you find? | Next time you know | You should have thought twice | Take my advice

EXIT WEST - Near the crossing | At the border | Keep it quiet | Keep it simple | There is movement | In the shadow | A pulse quickens | In the temple | Near the crossing | At the border | Fingers tighten | Without logic | There is movement | In the shadow | Check the papers | In the pocket | Near the crossing | At the border | Someone’ s looking | At a docket | There are movements | In the shadow | Check the papers | Pad the pockets

CAPTAIN OF OWLS - The Captain of Owls is calling your name | To study construction of magnificent fame | Watching the rabbit | Conjure the flame | The Captain of Owls is calling your name | The Captain of Owls keeps a dog on a chain | A picture’s request to line up the frame | Dancing on vapor | Harvesting grain | The Captain of Owls is calling your name | Swimming in honey | Filling ashtrays | Iron sailors cast away | Steal the mail | Drink from clay | Keep a lantern to light the way
