Myrddin 01:29
Our story begins with a young man named Myrrdin. He had always felt there was more to life than what he’d been dealt, so he set off, ill-equipped, on the journey of a lifetime. As the sky grew dim, Myrrdin stumbled upon a fire & an elderly-looking man wearing a cloak The man invited the young adventurer to sit with him. Myrrdin complied & sat by this oddly familiar stranger. From behind his guitar, the man inquired: “What do you seek?” “I don’t know…” Myrddin paused. “The truth?”

Merlin 07:57
It feels like I’m flying. Time is flowing in reverse. The truth that I sought, it’s in my hands. My journey’s beginning; history calling. Blinded in one sense, but with an open mind, I traverse this moving mountain side. Through the mystical forest I travel. Gifts from this stranger I already know. I was dying. Please go save me. I will do this. Just know nothing is free (Nothing’s free) I sat in silence for hours For years Do or don't there's no trying At least that's what I've come to learn The future proves Idle hands are not ideal Become your own self-fulfilling prophecy As darkness falls The night comes to greet me I stoke the fire And embrace my new reality

The Whaler 02:45
I caught up with you Through mount and sea I heard the call I couldn't be calm I caught up with you Through mount and sea I heard the call And now we fall If I had been wiser, I might have known to stay away But now it's you and I And all the world’s a stage If we had been wiser, we might have known to stay away But now it's you and I And we have our parts to play

Our minds, our lines Favored by design To this day, by our own hand We've mastered our pride These wilds were wasted on the weak So we burnt this bridge Fall and despair, ye frail things We have become death ALL: Cheers! To the kiln of war And to the end of you Death And we'll pay our respects When this is through SLOTHS: From seed to sapling Every tree bore the fruit of love Under the Orange Season You've brought pain to all of us IW: Love, Cherish, pain What are these to we Of metal and of change For whom will is king? These wilds were wasted on the weak So we burnt this bridge Fall and despair ye frail things We have become death ALL: Cheers! To the kiln of war And to the end of you Death And we'll pay our respects When this is through SLOTHS: From seed to sapling Every tree bore the fruit of love Under the Orange Season You've brought pain to all of us And now this battle has taken its toll Ceaseless beings whose arms destroy life A word to the beasts now fallen: “An end to your myths and legends”

Leave Three 02:35
Seen from afar but far from good Dreamt of what would have, should have and could The good dream vanished Blurred into anguish Leave Three In the deep ocean A new era has begun A new era Leave three In the daylight sun We are newborn again

No Words 03:09
We are who we are Some a little too much Others try to change In some way You open up your mouth Offenses bound to fall out So please just stop Just stop Maybe, for sure There are no words People are always blown away By the things that you say So please borrow a play from me And stay speechless Know nothing will change I guess that's okay 'Cause we are Who we are Maybe, for sure There are no words We are who we are Some a little too much Others try to change In some way We are who we are We are who we are
