Black Dust 01:53
Black Dust falling on the ground Black Dust falling all around Black Dust on the windowsill Black Dust gonna make me ill Exhaust from a factory Burned out refinery Dark cloud from beyond the grave Waiting for a stagnant wave Black Dust falling on the ground Black Dust falling all around Black Dust on the windowsill Black Dust gonna make me ill Mold spores from beyond the sky Dark matter in your eyes Last breath of a haunted town Black as night and falling down Black Dust on the windowsill Black Dust gonna make me ill Black Dust Black Dust Black Dust Black Dust

Crawling through the Vault of Tomorrow Tell you what I saw I’m a silicon-based life form Call me the Horta No kill I . . . In the Vault of Tomorrow, In the Vault of Tomorrow! 50,000 years of silence Now I’m the only one Tear apart my homeland, You’ll never see the sun No kill I . . . Meet my mind with reason Now you understand I’m a silicon-based life form This is my homeland No kill I . . .

Soul Mates 01:41
walk this world in every way never meet the end of days walk until i reach the sun eternity is no fun yeah we could have been soul mates if you had a soul sleep a night of endless black contemplate things i lack ride that highway to my doom eternity in my room yeah we could have been soul mates if you had a soul run away from hopeless fate you don't deserve my hate collapse into infinity nothing here, there's only me yeah we could have been soul mates if you had a soul

Mercy Brown 02:03
Mercy was a solemn site Spectacle was not quite right Dig the ground to quell the tongue Phantom scream from silent lungs No one lives here anymore Hacking coughs and bed sores Carrier has been laid low Dig me up as friend not foe Life is short and then we part Stone face and broken heart Bury your fears in the ground No one here but Lena Brown
5.
Almost Real 01:51
Synthetic human, cyborg fate Ancient hubris, modern hate On a good day I can feel Impressions have a vague appeal On a good day I feel life-like, almost real Nothing there, we’re still here Ancient folly, modern fear On a good day . . . Meet your maker, who made whom? Open doorway, empty room On a good day . . .

Gospel Swamp 03:11
Ride to the West, the ground will fail Leave you stuck here, dead upon a rail Whoa, nothing happens here Whoa, laugh and disappear Fires burn at night, canvas in the black Shout under the moon, never going back Whoa, now we sing and stomp Whoa, on the Gospel Swamp No one saw him leave, was he ever there? Figure walks at night, specter of despair Whoa, nothing happens here Whoa, laugh and disappear Whoa, now we sing and stomp Whoa, on the Gospel Swamp In the Gospel Swamp . . .
7.
Home was pleasant, to a point Till we saw the eyes of red Silver Bridge collapsed and then 46 of us were dead Lotta Moth Action . . . No love lost in ‘66 Pursuit upon black wings of death Long time curse or madman’s dream? Gasping, draw your final breath Lotta Moth Action . . . Visions haunt me, I can’t sleep Don’t know what it was but then Stranger things have happened here The fog is thick, the line is thin Lotta Moth Action . . .
8.
Sing a song life, and sing a song of fate Encircled by the fire, you forget to hate See the falling stars, and see the crumbling walls You made your last mistake, so now the curtain falls Your house is falling down tonight And you’ve lost the will to fight Silence covers you, and so you close your eyes And who’ll forgive you now, for believing lies Your house is falling down tonight . . . Stars rain down, night falls black Gone to Hell, but now you’re back See the falling stars, and see the crumbiling walls You’ve made your last mistake, so now the curtain falls
9.
Good trash, bad trash going down Good trash, bad trash paint the town Not a lot I wanna know No place that I wanna go Good trash, bad trash feet on fire Good trash, bad trash falling higher Everything’s wide open now Everything that fate allows Good trash, bad trash now I’m gone Good trash, bad trash, sing my song Searching for that blinding light Out of time and out of sight
10.
White Pants 02:04
Saw her standing at the end of the bar And he knew that he wouldn’t get far Saw her standing at the end of the line And he thought that she looked real fine White Pants! White Pants! Get out if you don’t wanna dance White Pants! White Pants! Come on, give me a chance
