No lyrics on this track, but there's an ancient Bribri chant in the background towards the end of the song. The meaning of these verses will remain a mistery.

Sinister Sister (free) 04:46
The night is young And so are you But there's no word of consolation to kill this silence And all the things we said to hurt each other Seems to be frozen in the air It doesn't have to be this way Sinister Sister Sinister Sister Sinister... The steel is cold And so are you The sweat is running down your face I sense your desperation There is a monster inside you about to pull the trigger It doesn't have to be this way it doesn't have to end this way Sinister Sister Sinister Sister Sinister...

Patterns 04:41
Here I am... Here I am right before your eyes What to say? I can only smile In the end everything is clear Now I know you belong to me I will draw patterns on your skin Patterns on your skin Patterns on your skin And you will love And learn what love's about And you will glow Just like the stars above And you will fall Inside our secret world And you will know There's nothing else beyond Here I am right before your eyes What to say? I can only smile I will draw patterns on your skin Patterns on your skin Patterns on your skin And you will love And learn what love's about And you will glow Just like the stars above And you will fall Inside our secret world And you will know There's nothing else beyond There's nothing else beyond

Standing in the middle of nowhere I realize I was not alone A whisper broke up the silence Watch me fall... I walked the hall through the darkness I saw the face of the ghost I kiss the lips and they were so cold Watch me fall... Fleshless arms around my neck Eyes full of love and death As we danced to the same old waltz I'd put my hands together and prayed Finally when I woke up The ghost was laying besides me Watch me fall... Fleshless arms around my neck Eyes full of love and death As we danced to the same old waltz

Last Prayer 04:53
Blood is no chain Care is no love You had to learn I had to grow Roseanne... Roseanne... Life is no game Fate is no choice You felt the pain I felt alone Roseanne... Roseanne... Sailing a sea of tears You are still a stranger A whisper in my ear Just one last prayer Wrath had no place Fear had no voice I stood awake You saw me fall Roseanne... Roseanne... Blood is no chain Care is no love You had to learn I had to grow Roseanne... Roseanne... Sailing a sea of tears You are still a stranger A whisper in my ear Just one last prayer After so many nights I could not sleep I could have died You took my hand And kept me warm Do you still think I was meant to be alive? Alive... Sailing a sea of tears You are still a stranger A whisper in my ear Just one last prayer

Other thousand days waiting on the shore There's a stranger knocking on your door Temples crumble down from stone to dust Our ancestors trail now is lost A garden of tears is all that remains The hills are still standing Our prayers were made of forbidden words Are we fading into silence? Other thousand men die away from home All the fireflies now are gone Silent rivers like a funeral march And the ancient sun just falls appart A garden of tears is all that remains The hills are still standing Our prayers were made of forbidden words Are we fading into silence? (hear the voice within) Is it the river Is it the ape Is it the spirit Is it the snake Is it the lynx Is it the owl Is it the earth Is it my blood
