1.
The Long Dark Sleep

Deep down in Deaths dark depths of sodden soil
Of Bodies decay that speak no more
Words that talk upon the Stone
And echo loud upon the Wall
...

2.
The Evening Sun

Words gushing, thrushing
Thrusting and pushing
Are silent when all is done
And they will mean a truer word
...

3.
The Long, Long Night

Dark night and deepest thought
And broken sleep and broken dream
The darkest night of tortured walk
Of darkest past and darkest talk
...

4.
Death Has No Master

Death has no master, but master it will be
And the pale velvet mist of time
Will pull and tear the everlasting Tree
That reaches for the dark and damp ridden Earth
...

5.
The Valley

The Valley high, the Valley low
Of loathesome histories past
I long to see and long to go
Where memory comes to pass
...

6.
In Darkest Dreams

In darkest dreams we see
Those damdest thoughts of plunder
That live for eternity
And dark strike and flashlight thunder
...

7.
A Sunny Day In Amroth

That Blue Violet haze of shimmering Sun
And rolling Sea of flickering Dance
With Golden Sand and rounded Stone
The Gulls pecking and stabbing
...

8.
A Life In A Room

Tattered Box and Yellow Card
And fading faces of people past
Dark torn words of brittle verb
And broken Hearts and weary word
...

9.
The Ballad Of Cowboy Bob

Oh Daughter weep oer Mothers plight
Another day another fight
The Table set and i must go
Toward that goal and Golden glow
...

10.
The Well

Deep down in hollow, echo Well
Deep down, deep down, deep down
Slime of ages, slithering Stone
Falling down, falling down, falling down
...
