Oldsville 02:21
I, awake to the gray skies I, inhale the toxic air I, can't stand another day here Every second, a new hell Oldsville Oldsville I, hear whispers of places Myths and rumours, but some are true Some are close, just beyond the horizon I, could travel there I, must escape this place Before it drains me of my life I must travel to the gardens of the sucrose trees My only hope for internal peace Oldsville Oldsville Under a blanket of darkness I take my leave Moving silently, soon I will be free Treacherous path awaits, but I stand for the task I will move on to better places than Oldsville Oldsville Oldsville Oldsville

Sitting in the grime of the trench I didn't realize Just how far the rot went Acres and acres of black rotted trees hang Branches over the sand A maze of stenches and smells mark the graveyard Of those travelled and failed Tar pits and unspeakable creatures here Kill quickly and dismember the corpse Through the forest of rot, now, I travel To escape from that horrible town But I fear, I doubt and I question Still I travel to a holier ground In the dark of the night I'm protected From evil forces, hunting for blood In the light of the day I evade them, but A single misstep and I'll drown in the mud Human remains mark my path and remind me Of the fate I'll meet if I don't succeed The world behind me is as deadly as The creatures that hide in these trees Through the forest of rot, now, I travel To escape from that horrible town Without fear, without doubt, without question On a journey to a holier ground Startled awake by the cries of the creatures Getting closer as the moon shines bright Frozen with fear, then running faster than ever Hideous laughter marks the start of the hunt Dodging roots and branches as the trees try to stab me The whole forest now thirsts for my blood Weak from exhaustion, battered and bruised On the verge of collapse I accept my doom But I notice a field in the distance An escape from a nightmarish tomb

Fresh Air 01:50
I breathe the summer air I can feel my lungs again The trees of rot are gone Instead pink flowers bloom I sit and rest awhile But my journey's far from done Feel the sun The rays of hope shine down Breathe the air The fresh air fills my lungs I don't want to leave This is better than before But deep inside I know The best is further on Feel the sun The rays of hope shine down Breathe the air The fresh air fills my lungs A moment of reprise A second to relax Before I journey on Towards the sucrose trees Feel the sun The rays of hope shine down Breathe the air The fresh air fills my lungs

Stalker 01:40
Something is hunting me It's in my past it's in my hands It wants to take me back Bushes rustle and figures creep behind me Stalking hunting, trying to take me back They whisper doubt into my dreams, tell me I am bound to fail But there's a road back that's paved in gold I've come too far to quit I won't throw that away You won't take that from me No! I'm leaving you behind I'm throwing you away It walks behind me, judging every step What you had there was perfect, you can't walk away There is no better world, no better life ahead But if you come back now, they'll forget you left You're only wasting time out here, keep going and you'll die I can bring you home, join me in your old life I've come too far to quit I won't throw that away You won't take that from me No! You'll never take me back I'm leaving you behind I'm throwing you away It grabs me by the leg and drags me Clawing to bring me back I kick and struggle, shout and scream Warn it to let me go It laughs and cackles, mocks my words Tells me I've no choice There's one option, there's one way I draw my knife, saw its neck and throw the evil head away
