You and the Father / On the Line / This Xmas Eve / Rock of the Lake / Sisters / Uncles / Still Evil / Wake of All That's Past / Camplight / Mothers / Mountains / Morning Song
1. You and the Father [top]
Light the candle once again, the one you seek ain't in, but we'll all wait here patiently.
Is he a fighter or a friend, and all of this will end, and let the walls come over me.
And you and the father radio in, and give them everything, everything to bring us back again.
Time to talk or time to run, the shadow in the sun, creepin' out from under me.
And oh, surrender now your face, and let them fall from grace, the devil out from under you.
And you and the father radio in, and give them everything, everything to bring us back again.
And you and the father radio in, and give them everything, everything to bring us back again.
2. On the Line [top]
Waiter, bring us another, and don't forget the good mother.
She's been out on the line for a long time, and the candles tell her eyes, "it's been too long."
All those gifted summers. Kind to us you were. Sure enough you were left out...
On the line, on the line. On the line, on the line.
We're all here, waitin' for you to come through.
We're all here, waitin' for you to come through.
On the line, on the line. On the line. on the line....
3. This Xmas Eve [top]
Keep us in your mind for you're the one, to bring the lamb to slaughter in the setting sun.
Darkened eyes struggle to see, who you've brought to slaughter on this Christmas eve.
I'll keep the demons away as everyone sleeps
And I'll hear what they have to say, the voices from many miles away.
The words they will carry on and prey upon on those who don't sleep.
So keep us in your mind for you're the one, who brings upon the slaughter.
The mess-up(?) where we left the evil one, sleeping in the gutter.
4. Rock of the Lake [top]
Rock of the lake you are shallow and head like a moon.
But give us a day's work, and we will grant passage to you.
Then you'll awake in a room, like from the pictures you burn will reflect in your shoes
Strong words escape from your pillow and out through the room.
These are the words we will follow, obey, or fall through.
Out on the lake of all truth, rise to the surface, you hunter, you killer, you fool.
Out in the lake there are children drowning with you
Thus is the case when we follow your every move
Just keep moving on the high waters coming on.
In this water they will carry me to you.
