Ambrose 05:40
Screaming for help at the entrance to caves set so close to the shore Yet no one can hear us; the lights are blacked out on the top of the cliff Now it's getting so cold, the rain starts to fall adding waves to the tide The crows fly alone, starting to drown out our cries in the storm Despite all the storms, we'll make our escape on a ship bound for ports Undiscovered on maps, we're great explorers. Let's make our mark in our history. If we stay strong, I'm sure we'll survive with that thought in our heads of houses on horizons Divided by sea, blended into sky, Darkened by the clouds that have now formed the storm. I'm holding on for dear life, hanging on the edge of rocks with my nails dug in deep I'm shivering with cold, there's desperation in my voice as I'm calling out one last time Will somebody save me? I'm filling my lungs with the ocean. It's gone.

Chasm 04:17
I've loved and I've lost more times than I care to count. Trading minutes for hours, making pacts I can't keep. I'm scared of what I'd find in the draw after seeing in your eyes, If looks could kill then you wouldn't need the knife Held so close to my chest in the dark, swaying gently In tandem with shadows of the trees illuminated by moonlight. I awoke to see you standing there with the knife over me "You're not yourself anymore" When you said to me "meet your maker" while holding that knife You're not the same anymore. Create your macabre work of art With the moon as your spotlight and the sheets as your canvas My blood as the paint You were stood above my chest, lit up by the moonlight, standing over me The worst was yet to come when you said to me "meet your maker" while holding that knife You're not the same anymore. Our love is a chasm and I'm forever falling.

Keys 04:11
I have the keys to unlock doors And prophesize the coming of kings and queens taking captives, trading lives for plunder Turning captors into rich men My eyes are blinded by a bright light Contrasting with the ambience of a dark room A doorway to another world We'll start as we mean to go on Despite our premonitions Of what's in store for us I'll guard the door Protect my people from harm Whatever it takes Until I die Unlock the door This key has become a burden I cannot hold back the tide I hold the key to your freedom I can relieve you of the burden It's over, we're out of time Just save yourself We're fighting futures, a brand new world in our hands Snatched away from our grasp By kings and queens, holding all the keys.

Searchlights 05:58
Call off the search it's getting dark We'll search for one more day The outlook's bleak but still we'll try Make way for the searchlight showing pathways across moors searching so hard but we will find only foxes and autumn leaves Time is running out, it is cold, our breath forms mist in the cold night air I hear distant sounds of sirens The leaves start to fall, laying a pathway to a faraway tree Hold on, I can hear footsteps. I'm so scared, I don't want to be found This means everything to me.
