Flooded
03:25

Can you hear the sound of love rushing us?
Hear the sound of love flooding us?
Hear the sound of love's covering?
Hear it loud
This is you
Can you hear the sound of love crashing in?
Hear the sound of love breaking in?
Hear the sound of love resonate?
Hear it now
This is you
Love is you
And the whole world sings along
'Cause the whole world feels the flood
Can you hear the flood crashing in?
Hear the flood breaking in?
Hear the flood resonate?
Hear it now
Can you feel the flood?
Do you feel the rush?
Can you feel the love?
Feel it now?

Frailty's Anthem
03:18
|
|||
We stand and we fall
We gain but lose it all
We love and we laugh
We loathe this bleeding path
We fear as we fail
And the brightness becomes stale
We scrape and we claw
Searching for that sense of awe
Then it comes like the sun
Blinding us so well
Atrophy finds defeat
Is there someone we can tell?
Rushing in, out of breath
We are caught up in its swell
Letting go, let it in
We're no longer frail
Set our feet, close our eyes
Life begins anew
Forward now, recklessly
We are standing now with You
|

Skies and seas collide
And bring to life the sleeping
Old and new awake
The earth will shake from weeping
Bid farewell to death
And hold what's left
And come alive

Bravery
05:25
|

Thirty-six years on the sea
The only place where he believes
He can taste the salt each time he breathes
Fearful of approaching the shore
The ocean is his favorite floor
Here's where the rich are the poor
Take heart my weary friend
Soon we'll meet again
On seas we've never sailed
So loose your grip on me
Your coat is bravery
Don't worry, we've not failed
So rest your tired hands
And still your broken feet
Put on your bravery
Put on your bravery

Friends and foes
Lay down your arms
Let's fill these skies
With light and hope
Friends and foes
Brace yourselves
The darkness comes
It comes now
Burn the day and greet the night
Damn the weak and crush the light
Burn it all and the world will see
Peace is but a broken dream
Friends and foes
Take up your arms
Let's fill these skies
With swords of hope
Friends and foes
Brace yourselves
The darkness comes
It comes now
Burn the day and greet the night
Damn the weak and crush the light
We're fading
We're fading
Though darkness comes
The light has won
Let's fill these skies with singing
Watch darkness fade
The light will reign
Peace has come
The light has won

When Empires Fall
05:03
|
|||
Did you build this in a day
All your riches in array
Kings of earth and rulers all
We die beneath the fall
Do your empires love you back
Soak the earth with honest tears
Slaves and sinners, we are free
We all die beneath the tree
We bruise and bleed the same
The strong, the weak, the well, the lame
Our piles of gold and earth
Will fade away to dust and dirt
We crush the feeding trough
We consume beyond enough
But when these empires fall
Only love will be standing tall
Will the earth remember you
When your storehouses are bare
All we keep is all we lose
Only fools will die with spare

The Afterword
04:44
|

Close your eyes, take this hand
Breathe deep and trust again
We'll be just fine
Love still fights for you and me
Through these dark nights
Put down these swords
Let's love some more
And find our rest on peaceful shores
This burning sears my soul
It takes control and I am nothing still
This yearning toils in me
And I am weak, so I am standing still
So as not to fall
I can see the dawn breaking bright against the veil
Restoration's on his way
And on that day all is well
Sleep well, sweet love
Rest your eyes and dream away
Let's dance again
Opposite of our mistakes
Take my hand, I am here now
We can walk this road again
Take my hand, I am here now
We can walk this road again
Take my hand, you are mine now
We can walk this road again
Take my hand, I am yours now
We can walk this road again

What We Write
03:05
|
|||
Well I think we'll be ok
Yeah I know the climb is steep
Steady now, don't be afraid
Love the road, forget the peak
Stories new and stories old
What we live is what we write
What we tell, what we've been told
Dreams can live or they can die
Though it's dark here down below
See the skies are brighter now
Settle in and take it slow
We'll make it through somehow
Feel the wind against your skin
Telling tales of progress made
Rest your lungs and breathe it in
Fear is crushed beneath the brave
