And I can feel it slowly start to pull me in The water’s cold but it don’t seem to bother Me cause I know I’m going to fit right in I will sink I will sink Well these broken souls have been worn for far too long Calloused feet and tired eyes it is Oh sisters brothers friends come sing along And tell your tale before the reaper takes what’s his Put me in a boat with my arms folded Across my heart that’s played its final beat And put two coins upon my eyelids To make my journey quiet and discrete I will sink I will sink Well these broken souls have been worn for far too long Calloused feet and tired eyes it is Oh sisters brothers friends come sing along And tell your tale before the reaper takes what’s his Well these broken souls have been worn for far too long Calloused feet and tired eyes it is Oh sisters brothers friends come sing along And tell your tale before the reaper takes what’s his

Once when I was young a wolf took me from my home She raised me like her own and I still felt alone She bared her fangs and growled and then I learned to howl My human nature died and out came my wild side Have you ever soared like an owl in the night? Have you ever roared like a lion in a fight? Do you wanna know what birds sing in their songs? I’ll tell you this, the wild side is a bliss So come to the wild side baby tonight Take my hand let me lead you there better leave your friends behind Let’s take a journey girl you’re a birdie Shed your skin let the beast within take your heart and soul tonight I’m going crazy for you just let me do what I do Better watch your back or else you’ll end up going crazy too So come to the wild side baby tonight Take my hand let me lead you there, better leave your friends behind Wandering through the trees walk on the crumbled leaves Howl at the full moon join the pack there’s always room yeah But once you’re one of us there’s no turning back You’ll learn to love the pain you’ll never be the same Howl at the moon So come to the wild side baby tonight Take my hand let me lead you there better leave your friends behind Let’s take a journey girl you’re a birdie Shed your skin let the beast within take your heart and soul tonight I’m going crazy for you just let me do what I do Better watch your back or else you’ll end up going crazy too So come to the wild side baby tonight Take my hand let me lead you there, better leave your friends behind Howl at the moon

The Lake 04:45
Eyelids closed shut you don’t need eyes to see The way you make me feel like I’m alive Beautiful soul you’re all I’ll ever need Your love will be the reason I survive Look in my eyes and see That I am falling faster than I ever thought I could And I will hold you in my arms at the lake where we once stood So give me all your love tonight Cause you make me feel so alive Lover divine lay your body next to mine Place your head upon my shoulder and just breathe Listen my dear let me whisper in your ear And confess to you my unexplainable love Look in my eyes and see That I am falling faster than I ever thought I could And I will hold you in my arms at the lake where we once stood So give me all your love tonight Cause you make me feel so alive That I am falling faster than I ever thought I could And I will hold you in my arms at the lake where we once stood So give me all your love tonight Cause you make me feel so alive So alive So alive So alive So alive

Passion 04:00
When I was a boy my mama told me She said son just be yourself and no one else Follow your dreams no matter what that means And so I’ve tried my very best To follow her words I found my passion on This beautiful Earth You know that when you die what they write in stone Is a small window into the life you’ve known So try to find something that you truly love On this road ending in the skies above Well the seasons change and so do we Everything I’ve done has found a way to let me say I feel it in my blood my passion my true love And so I’ve tried my very best To follow her words I found my passion on This beautiful Earth You know that when you die what they write in stone Is a small window into the life you’ve known So try to find something that you truly love On this road ending in the skies above You know that when you die what they write in stone Is a small window into the life you’ve known So try to find something that you truly love On this road ending in the skies above
