  29. Nostalgia

    NOTES Lyrics written in Alaska on the Woodbine floating cannery operating out of Naknek, May 1993.

  32. No Man's Land

    NOTES The slow part at the end was written at the time when Nirvana's "Heart-Shaped Box" had just come out. LYRICS In No Man’s Land there are many men But you, my man aren’t one of them When I was there, I thought of you The only way I could make it through. You always knew the way to be The…

  33. Midnight/Theatrics

  34. Heirogliphic

    NOTES At the time some guys in the band wanted to move in this Mr. Bungle-like direction, with time changes and more progressive rock, while others thought it was too crazy. LYRICS Fun here... there’s no fun here. So consistent, a fine tradition: hate the life now, love the life then. Lock him…

  38. Wishmaster

    NOTES 12 Nov 2015 LYRICS I can't remember when they finally set me free I'll live forever but I won't remember me I climb through mazes in a brain that wants to hide We came across ourself, found emptiness inside We wear a mask that keeps us safe a million years Gods live forever but forego that...

  42. Ventriloquist

    NOTES 2 April 2014 - original idea working title « Never-ending Tron waltz » due to the guitar melody that sounded like the 80s Tron arcade game music on the level with the coloured bars that descend.

  43. Wind and Flames

    NOTES Music 2011, lyrics Dec. 2, 2015 LYRICS When you say that you've got it made Forever and a day You know it doesn't work that way I'll come for you in time Look back, in my wake See there were amends to make Tender hearts will always break If God is so inclined...

  48. Shaman at Midnight

    NOTES 27 avril 2014 LYRICS Here them howl at the moonlight Like the effort is worth a life we sing and we paint in the cave but why?
