Paintings on Fire: In der Fremde 01:32
lyrics
buy track
Aus der Heimat hinter den Blitzen rot Da kommen die Wolken her, Aber Vater und Mutter sind lange tot, Es kennt mich dort keiner mehr. Wie bald, ach wie bald kommt die stille Zeit, Da ruhe ich auch, und über mir Rauscht die schöne Waldeinsamkeit, Und keiner kennt mich mehr hier. English Translation Where once at home I laid my head stormclouds fill the air, but Father and Mother are long since dead and no one remembers me there. How soon, how soon and with what ease the time of rest draws near: the wind will rustle through the trees and none will remember me here.

I am waiting for a feel right. I am waiting for a sunlight. Breath and mirrors. Breath and menthol lights. I am waiting for a feel right. Oh. I am waiting for a feel right. I am waiting some sunlight. Smoke and mirrors. Breath and menthol lights. I am waiting for a feel right. I am waiting for some sunlight. Smoke and mirrors. Breath and menthol lights.

You see things so very clearly. Eyes glow brighter than the moon. Fly so fast it's quite delightful. I love to be here with you. Wish so long for great to happen. Now it's here, I'm here with you. Show me worlds and so much more. Things are changing, that's for sure. Oh, my heart.

A Fractured Fairytale: Giant Song (Grog) 01:03
lyrics
buy track
I am Grog from the land of Nod. The land of mist and the land of fog. I am the seven bridges keeper. I am the way and you are the sleeper. Seven bridges, seven secret words. Heads, shoulders, knees, and toes. Arms and legs and torsos. Seven bridge, seven secrets heard. Each body part knows one secret word. Axes, knives, hammers, and cleavers. I am the giant and you are the sleepers. Chop, chop, on the chopping block. Timers, roosters, set alarm clocks. By the time you wake up, I'll put you back together. But there's no need to worry cause the dream land last forever. I am Grog from the land of Nod. The land of mist and the land of fog. I am the seven bridges keeper. I am the way and you are the sleepers.

A Fractured Fairytale: The Boy with the Broom 02:10
lyrics
buy track
So my mom gave me a broom She told me to go sweep my room. But I sweep all day, I sweep all night. I sweep the mountains, beach, and sky. I love to sweep. It's the things to do. I would sweep for them, and I'll sweep for you. Cause I sweep all day, I sweep all night. I sweep the walls both low and high. I sweep a lot. Sweep the oceans, deep and far. Sweep the worlds that are not ours. And when I sweep I feel complete. No matter where I sweep for free. Cause I sweep all day and sweep all night. I sweep the dark. I sweep the light. I sweep a lot.
