Incense 03:38
Starlight rains upon my windowsill Silent trains rolling past the chill of June You are the rain You are the rain You are the rain over me Seize the hanging thread that I won't cut off And the weeping child who can’t cry out You are the rain You are the rain You are the rain over me Over the wall we go Into the great unknown My brother and my friends Over the wall again You are the beauty in the street without a name And Your vanity and screams all sound the same Praising a love which you left undone You hold a piece of everyone You are the rain You are the rain You are the rain over me Over the wall we go Into the great unknown My brother and my friends Over the wall again

Moon 03:33
The Moon is speaking to me tonight Like Long lost lovers who hold so tight My feet pound the ground, I cannot stay So I look for your eyes to take me away Cause I'll be leaving soon So look to the moon Everytime I hear your call My mind goes to a rushing fall Every scream in your dream takes you away But I find you here awake the next day Cause I'll be leaving soon So look to the moon Look to the moon As I try to catch the light that’s covering you Fate has found a way today To cover our lives and stay Hoping for a wake up call Is praying for eternal fall Weeping trees and tangled plants Stops dying love and burned romance A Spider's web a glistening string A fires trance I'll wait for you sing Cause I'll be leaving soon So look to the moon Look to the moon As I try to catch the light that’s covering you Look to the moon Look to the moon As I take a trip to the moon

Ce'Nedra 03:36
I would like to see you home In a life you’ve never known I would like to see you there In the garden we both share You can Kiss me there and Muss my hair Kiss me outside the throne room air I will keep the trinkets here Keep them pinned above my head And I sleep under the trees I want you to call your bed You can Kiss me here and Muss my hair Kiss me outside the throne room air I will kiss you while your sleeping here I will kiss you in your dreams I will hold your blankets dear to me I will hold your trinkets here for all to see I’ll advance a thousand leagues To show you how much I care I’ll stand beside your throne Because it’s each other that we own Don’t forget Cause I can hear your will And I’m not willing to forget You can Kiss me here and Muss my hair Kiss me outside the throne room air

Luna 02:53
If I steal you away From your lover's arms Would you want to stay? Would you lose your charm? Awake leave this alone Because you're still my home Are you a shower of tricks? Are you that cold? Bisou Au clair de la lune If I steal you away From your lover's arms Would you want to stay? Would you lose your charm? Bisou Au clair de la lune

I spent a day in the street With everyone I knew and I gave my attention to To anyone but you So you could see, you're not the only one I see But I wore the shirt you made for me I lied I lied I wanted you to see me too I wanted you to see me too But you had different plans Than the sweat in my hands oh You see You see What everyone knows but me You see You see What everyone knows but me What everyone knows but me What everyone knows but me And I could be a friend now and then Oh Oh You see You see That this had an end oh oh You See You See This had to end oh oh This had to end oh oh This had to end oh oh

Lilac 03:35
We’ll take all we have as seeds and Wait until they sprouts new leaves and I’ll offer up an olive branch and You’ll return with a knowing glance and We’ll turn our black into lilac and We'll turn our black into lilac and We’ll take all our planted seeds and Wash clean all our dirty leaves and We’ll take on each others plight and Cast our snakes into the night and We’ll turn our black into lilac and We'll turn our black Into lilac and We’re reborn and recast Into what the other lacks and We’re reborn and recast Into what the other lacks and While no one is looking back We’ll turn the olives lilac and We'll turn out black Into lilac and We'll turn our black into lilac and All daughters deserve a home One that they can call their own and You deserve a golden home So much more than I can show you and I’ll stitch together valentines and Quilt together what is yours and mine and I’ll give you everything you need and take away all your nose bleeds and I’m not sorry That your blood is on me I’m not sorry that your blood is on me I’m not sorry about the bruises on me I’m not sorry that your blood is on me We’ll turn our black Into lilac and We'll turn our black into lilac and We’re reborn and recast Into what the other lacks and We’re reborn and recast Into what the other lacks and We’ll turn our black into lilac and

Oh Marian 02:33
Your features glow And radiate from mine to you Stronger than the sun Incandescent one Slow dance with you And drift in and out of sleep I know my heart is yours And yours is mine to love for good You’re Marian To me More than any tree or stream or precious stone I own would be enough for you Or me to say You deserve the sun and you deserve the moon And so much more than I could give to you to say You’re Marian To me Your features glow And radiate from mine to you Stronger than the sun Incandescent one Slow dance with you And drift in and out of sleep I know my heart is yours And yours is mine to love for good You're Marian To Me You're Lúthien To Me

Endless Sea 03:54
Whisper words that we need to hear The silent wood is the perfect place to care I see you there In a hollowed out oak of despair Fingers reaching out to Touch the hand Of the one I plan to wed with a band And be anyone to be Perfectly new It's so serene on an endless sea with you Running off the miles of frozen deep I’ll breathe the cold to warm you underneath I see you there in the roots which speak to me I’ll carve both our names to Leave a mark Into the bark For everyone to see In the dark The trees hold the name Of you and me So serene on an endless sea with you Now I see you walk Into my sight You're dressed in white The day has Finally come The day is Finally won The birds have Flown away The swan Is here to stay Perfectly pristine Into the dawn unseen Slipstreams to nowhere near Where our Fears will disappear From you So serene on an endless sea with you On an endless sea with you

Sleep 04:13
Breaking veins And castle walls Bringing time To a crawl Feeling lost Without repose I was just a boy Without a hope You ghost You ghost I will bury in the time Before i’m grown A vacant smile And silent eyes An empty room And your demise Cut me deep With words I’ll keep I was just a boy Who needed sleep Take my bones Take my blood Take everything From the day I start Give me lies Give me guilt But don’t lie About your pills You ghost You ghost I will bury in the time Before I’m grown You Ghost

Imbue 03:14
Dew sits on my tongue tonight A Steal from every moon lite night Symptomatic caution winds Blows the tangled thoughts in again Imbue Bathing in my tomb to keep The blustery calm that peace will need Such a very soothing sigh To heed the very Ghouls out tonight Imbue Blankets call to see What you mean to be See the teary dear A sirens call to hear Watching out for years The words are coming clear Imbue

Special Thanks to:

Jillian Santora for being an amazing partner and inspiration.

Andrew for going into the trenches with me on this and never forgetting to tell me when I hit a wrong note.

Jenn for being very patient and lifting the songs with her amazing playing.

The guys at Headroom for the hard work and effort put into the drums for "Moon".

John Grady for endless hours of time and dedication to the original drum arrangements on "Incense" "Moon" and "Luna" for which we have adapted.

Dennis Tobin for green lighting all of these songs in their primitive voice memo form and always being a considerate listener.

The Works of J.R.R. Tolkien and David & Leigh Eddings, without it I would have nothing to write about.

And everyone else who has ever heard these songs before and told me they were worth something, Thank You!

Lastly a very special thank you to Bernardine Santora for letting us record this album in her basement. She was one of the best.
