1. Disappearance
Washing out
Falling away
Vita, you're leaving
Like the setting sun, you're leaving us
Vita, you're leaving us
Vita, you're nowhere
Vita, you're everywhere
2. Aubade
I know your heart lies heavy tonight
Sleepwalking all day but restless by twilight
You're surrounded by these artifacts
This useless collection of consumer consolation prizes
Crippled by aversion
Bathed in the glow of 24 hour addictivision
Suffering at dusk, the leisure time of a wage slave husk
Peaceless hibernation in the city of Glasgow
Peaceless hibernation in the city of lost adults
Darkness is just the absence of light
This is our dawn song
This is soul music
Aubade
These words are swords
Embrace the light
Cost off dead skin and live free
Aubade
Definitely swords
Declare an end to old ways with the dying of the night
Embrace the light
Aubade
Again and again and again we awaken
Again and again and again we rise
The sun will rise
Must cleanse this filth within
Aubade
Embrace the light
Your death is your life
Your emancipation
Aubade
New life springs from dreams at daybreak
Then the burning sun blinds us into sight
I know because I've seen it with my own eyes
I'm the Witness
3. Out of Harm's Way
An endless harvest colours the horizon
Clutching soil like silver
Void streams flow through
Roads lead to anger
Where rusted salvage anchors
There's no grace like in these heirlooms
Just exhaustion like water
Even only circles for years
The cruel sea claim vainglorious seeds
Shades of loss saturate
Tones of sin celebrate
Black flowers for miles
Cracked fields of dust
But I trust in the coming rains
Out of harm's way
4. Call off the Search
Perhaps it's time to call off the search
I think it's time to come to rest
Call off the search
Come to rest
The search goes on
Into the shadows
There is no guide
Only the dark
Call off the search
Come to rest
There's nothing to look for
There's nothing to find
Lie awake at night then
Always already
No one can help you now
Cutting air into shreds
Russian doll syndrome
Piecing together the forever complete
Call off the search
There's nothing more to look for
5. The Year of the Bastard
Egotism fills the room: the fix is in
An ode to vanity: all is surface
Let the dead bury the dead: Deus Caritas Est
Born as a sacrifice, but I will kill all violence
Redemption comes to me on wings of fire
Like a pierced soul, I bleed into the sky
The year of the bastard
6. Young
Emptiness is form
The lines have yet to fill your face
But your time is still being taken away
I'm leaving now
Crawling north where it's cold and green
I'm leaving now
Going to see sights unseen
We are young, but not for long
Absentee, your silence has been noticed
With an open wound and bright hope
May swords of hatred fall from our hands
With an open wound and bright hope
May we forgive a thousand times
7. Black Stars over Glasgow
Forced growth, pulling down
Ghosts stalk these streets of our past
Been seeing signs of the end times
This place brought us together
This place could tear us apart
I'm late, you're elsewhere
Distance needs persistance
It's not worth waiting
The question is time, time out of balance
In facing death, we embrace life
The question is time, time out of balance
The time is now, I'm not waiting to die
It's not worth waiting
Chance, happenstance
We must prevail
Every moment, every locus
We must prevail
Time
Time dies
Black Stars over Glasgow
Black Stars over Falkirk
Black Stars
8. Appearance
Suffering lately
You've been suffering lately I've seen
Wandering lately
Your mind's been wandering lately I've seen
But it's not over...
