Intro

Hand in hand and heart to heart,
in the dark The Long Losts walked.
They were dressed in their cemetery best,
they left it all to flee with death, with death, with death.
Heart to heart and hand to hand,
in the dark The Long Losts danced.
Room to room, night to night, all was spooky,
all was right, all was spooky, all was right, all, was,
spooky, all, was, right.

Then suddenly the windows yawned.
It came upon them, the dreadful morn.
The music ceased, their dancing paused, they
flew to a shadow to collect their thoughts...
Oh my love, it’s time to hide
Till the bright blue sky shuts it’s eyes
Then once again I’ll be by your side
But till then I’ll say...
I can’t wait for the end of the day
To pull you in close and kiss your pretty face
to haunt the night away, oh I can‘t wait...
To be back in the dark with you
Back in the dark with you x 2
Everything here, just as it was
Every single memory, every grain of dust. Here forever, just like us...
Untouched by those skeletons that can’t touch us...
So let those sun loving souls have their fun going to and fro. Little do they see even less do they know that we are nearby hiding...
I can’t wait for the end of the day
To pull you in close and kiss your pretty face
to haunt the night away, oh I can‘t wait...
To be back in the dark with you
Back in the dark with you x 4
Back in the dark with…Back in the dark with…
Back in the dark with…You!
Back in the dark with, back in the dark (with you) x 6
Oh my love it’s time to rise
The sun is down, the moon is high
The night is yours and so am I
And we’ll spend it side by side
Oh my love it’s time to rise
The sun is down, the moon is high
The night is yours and so am I
And we’ll spend it dancing
I can’t wait for the end of the day
To pull you in close and kiss your pretty face
to haunt the night away, oh I can‘t wait...
To be back in the dark with you
I can’t wait for the end of the day
To pull you in close and kiss your pretty face
to haunt the night away, oh I can‘t wait...
To be back in the dark with you
Back in the dark with you x 4
Back in the dark with…Back in the dark with…
Back…in the dark…with…you

Hours Children Sleep
03:54
|

Tears without a past, hold their hand
Shiny and unhaunted, close your eyes
Ears to your heartbeat, eyes to your soul
An angel drifts to heaven, peaceful when they know
There are stars in the deep deep dark
(the hours children sleep)
On they shine so warm so kind
(the hours children sleep)
Dreaming hearts beating in the dark
(the hours children sleep) x3
Fingers tickle spirits, laugh with them
Smile waxes crescent, then gone again
Ears to your heartbeat, eyes to your soul
An angel drifts to heaven, peaceful when they know
There are stars in the deep deep dark
(the hours children sleep)
On they shine so warm so kind
(the hours children sleep)
Dreaming hearts beating in the dark
(the hours children sleep) x3
Have you come dear shadow?
To join us beneath the blue light
The smallest stage awaits your embrace, set that spark ablaze, set their heart at ease, the hours children sleep
Ears to your heartbeat, eyes to your soul
An angel drifts to heaven, peaceful when they know
There are stars in the deep deep dark
(the hours children sleep)
On they shine so warm so kind
(the hours children sleep)
Dreaming hearts beating in the dark
(the hours children sleep)
On they shine so warm so kind
(the hours children sleep)
Dreaming hearts beating in the dark
(the hours children sleep) x3

At This Late Hour
05:37
|
|||
Across my wall, the sunlight crawls
It's dusty light, I feel it all
I lay so still, to let it pass
I don't wanna see, till it fades at last...
I lay so still, to let it pass
I don't wanna move, till it fades at last…π
When your friends fall few, and your heart breaks free
At this late hour, you come back to me...
At this late hour, you come back to me...
Outside my wall, joyful calls, need to make it stop…
So I can hear the door…So I can hear the door…
Need to make it stop…make it stop!
Open and close, the curtains go
I can’t decide, if I want to know...
I wanna know.
I lay so still, to let it pass
I don't wanna see, till it fades at last...
I lay so still, to let it pass
I don't wanna move, till it fades at last…
When your friends fall few and your heart breaks free
At this late hour you come back to me...
Break this dark, I’ve known too long, through that door
Come back home to me....
Break this dark, I’ve faced alone, through that door, come back home to me....
(Chorus)

Flowers ahead, flowers behind, wild flowers like you and I... like you and I.
I’ve…come…my lovely dear…to ask you… would you…
come lay with me in the grass by the trees? And tell me…why we…can’t be happy like we are in my dreams…Truly?
Tell me…why we…can’t be...
Come…with me…flee with me dear, away from this place, there’s only death here.
You…won’t…stay here my dear, one more day,
one more hour. Away from the stones back where you belong amongst the flowers, those beautiful flowers, those wildflowers…
Come…with me…flee with me dear, away from this place, there’s only death here.
Flowers ahead, flowers behind, wild flowers like you and I… like you and I…
I’ve…come…my lovely dear…to take you back to, that far away place and the photos we’d take, amongst the shadows, those beautiful shadows, those wild shadows.
Come…with me…flee with me dear, away from this place, there’s only death here.
Away, we will find a way, away from this place, there’s only death here.

Red Ropes
05:27
|

The day…lets go. At last…I’m home
Night lit…pillow. Your hairs…red glow
The whisper on a leaf
The moon on the stone
The flame on the flower
The word in the smoke
Your lips to my heart
Calling me home
Up the winding roads
Of your long red ropes
The shadow…won’t go. Till tales…are told
Still here…so still. Find her…she knows
In between walls
Looking for souls
I stand and I watch
And I take in it all
What’s here, what’s gone...
It’s only known
To the opened eyes
Up the long red ropes
The whisper on a leaf
The moon on the stone
The flame on the flower
The word in the smoke
Your lips to my heart
Calling me home
Up the winding roads
Of your long red ropes
Up your long red ropes (At the fall of day)
Up your long red ropes (I’ll find my way)
Up your long red ropes (Into the light)
Up your long red ropes (I’m coming home tonight)

Coffinheart
03:22
|
|||
Here in the still I found what is true. That here in the still I still wait for you. Come to me, walk with me, never to part will you, stay with me, lay with me, buried in our Coffinheart.
Under the dirt, many autumns deep
In the arms of November, my sweet October sleeps
Time to think, time it means nothing at all, will you, stay with me, lay with me, buried in our Coffinheart.
His name was Patrick, her name was Anka, they were once with us, now they’re with each other. For ever together and never to part, they will, live on for ever, in love, in our Coffinheart.

(Death, death, death the whore)
I loved, been loved, but love no more
(Death, death, death the whore)
I loved, been loved, but love no more
Stare into their clouded eyes
Looking back through broken glass
Another day another grave
Drag my pencil through their name
(Death, death, death the whore)
I loved, been loved, but love no more
(Death, death, death the whore)
I loved, been loved, but love no more
Ash to ash the floor boards laugh
Hear I am now take me back
Through the nights blue leafy swirl With 2 more bullets for the end of the world
(Death, death, death the whore)
I loved, been loved, but love no more
(Death, death, death the whore)
I loved, been loved, but love no more
Save those classics from the flame
Solve the skull with a broken brain
On his grave or in my bed
give me love or give me…
(Death, death, death the whore)
I loved, been loved, but love no more
(Death, death, death the whore)
I loved, been loved, but love no more
(Death, death, death the whore)
I loved, been loved, but love no more
(Death, death, death the whore)
I loved, been loved, but love no more

The sound of wind and water
We’ll follow the ancient song
To a still and lonesome corner
In a land we’ve sought so long
Where the trees go on forever
Is the place where we belong
And the dream we dreamt together
Is the end that calls us home
Is the end that calls us home
The sun who speaks in shadows
To the sky who speaks in storm
It’s rain drops mark the hours
As we sleep into unknown
The rivers keep their secrets
Just around each turn
And the dream we dreamt together
Is the end that calls us home
Is the end that calls us home
And the dream we dreamt together
We dreamt together, calls us home
And the dream we dreamt together
in love together, calls us home
The words, the wind calmly blows...
The song, the land only knows...
The sun, the moon the stars lead us home..
And the dream we dreamt together
We dreamt together, calls us home
And the dream we dreamt together
in love together, calls us home
When the dirt will bear our bones
We’ll join the ancient song
And the dream we dreamt together
Is the end that called us home
Is the end that called us home
