[00:23.40]	”WHITE LANDS OF EMPATHICA”
[00:24.90]
[00:25.89]	The end.
[00:32.39]	The songwriter`s dead.
[00:38.39]	The blade fell upon him
[00:44.39]	Taking him to the white lands
[00:51.39]	Of Empathica
[00:58.39]	Of Innocence
[01:05.39]	Empathica
[01:11.39]	Innocence
[01:13.39]
[01:56.39]
[01:57.39]	”HOME”
[01:58.69]
[01:59.69]	The dreamer and the wine
[02:02.69]	Poet without a rhyme
[02:06.69]	A widowed writer torn apart by chains of hell
[02:12.89]	One last perfect verse
[02:15.39]	Is still the same old song
[02:19.59]	Oh Christ how I hate what I have become
[02:27.39]	Take me home
[02:31.89]	Getaway' runaway' fly away
[02:34.39]	Lead me astray to dreamer`s hideaway
[02:37.39]	I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more
[02:41.39]	I cannot die' I' a whore for the cold world
[02:44.39]	Forgive me
[02:45.39]	I have but two faces
[02:47.39]	One for the world
[02:49.39]	One for God
[02:50.49]	Save me
[02:51.39]	I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more
[02:54.39]	I cannot die' I' a whore for the cold world
[03:11.39]
[03:12.39]	My home was there `n then
[03:15.39]	Those meadows of heaven
[03:19.39]	Adventure-filled days
[03:21.69]	One with every smiling face
[03:25.39]	Please' no more words
[03:28.39]	Thoughts from a severed head
[03:32.39]	No more praise
[03:34.39]	Tell me once my heart goes right
[03:39.39]	Take me home
[03:44.39]	Getaway' runaway' fly away
[03:47.39]	Lead me astray to dreamer`s hideaway
[03:50.39]	I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more
[03:54.39]	I cannot die' I' a whore for the cold world
[03:57.39]	Forgive me
[03:58.39]	I have but two faces
[04:00.39]	One for the world
[04:02.39]	One for God
[04:03.39]	Save me
[04:03.89]	I cannot cry `cause the shoulder cries more

[04:46.39]	”THE PACIFIC”
[04:47.39]
[04:48.39]	Sparkle my scenery
[04:56.39]	With turquoise waterfall
[05:00.39]	With beauty underneath
[05:04.89]	The Ever Free
[05:09.39]	Tuck me in beneath the blue
[05:17.39]	Beneath the pain' beneath the rain
[05:26.39]	Goodnight kiss for a child in time
[05:35.79]	Swaying blade my lullaby
[05:49.39]
[05:50.39]	On the shore we sat and hoped
[05:58.39]	Under the same pale moon
[06:02.39]	Whose guiding light chose you
[06:06.39]	Chose you all
[06:30.39]
[06:31.39]	” I`m afraid. I`m so afraid.
[06:33.39]	Being raped again' and again' and again
[06:36.39]	I know I will die alone.
[06:37.59]	But loved.
[06:38.39]
[06:39.39]	You live long enough to hear the sound of guns'
[06:41.39]	long enough to find yourself screaming every night'
[06:45.39]	long enough to see your friends betray you.
[06:48.39]
[06:49.39]	For years I`ve been strapped unto this altar.
[06:51.39]	Now I only have 3 minutes and counting.
[06:55.39]	I just wish the tide would catch me first and give me a death I always longed for ”.

[08:05.39]
[08:06.39]	2nd robber to the right of Christ
[08:10.39]	Cut in half - infanticide
[08:13.39]	The world will rejoice today
[08:15.39]	As the crows feast on the rotting poet
[08:32.39]
[08:33.39]	Everyone must bury their own
[08:36.39]	No pack to bury the heart of stone
[08:39.39]	Now he`s home in hell' serves him well
[08:42.39]	Slain by the bell' tolling for his farewell
[08:45.39]
[08:46.39]	The morning dawned' upon his altar
[08:49.39]	Remains of the dark passion play

[09:36.39]	Tuomas was called from the cares of the world.
[09:39.39]	He stopped crying at the end of each beautiful day.
[09:43.39]	The music he wrote had too long been without silence.
[09:47.39]	He was found naked and dead'
