Broken by silence, lost in your own house Oh you are Searching for answers, plagued by your own self Oh you are Who is the cold? Who is the fire? Who? Who is the cold? Who is the fire? Who? The grass it is brown, brown on both sides Yeah it is What’s wrong with that? Give me an answer To survive Who is the cold? Who is the fire? Who? Who is the cold? Who is the fire? Who?

You hid the light, you sold your day You veil your life in misery Your strength is darkness, joy is pain Who do you think you are? Who are you? x4 Don’t you know there’s more to life? You built a trap and snared yourself You find your way by reading guides Who do you think you are? Who are you? x4 Who are you? x4

Verse 1 You are the one that took me to the place You are the one You chose the road to make me fall away You are the one Bridge Gliding through the books like a ghost When you gonna say where we’re gonna go Chorus Nights like these, oh what to wonder Nights like these, oh what to wonder, ponder Verse 2 You see the fault inside me, but look away You know the truth will find me, it finds a way Bridge Gliding through the books like a ghost When you gonna say where we’re gonna go Chorus Nights like these, oh what to wonder Nights like these, oh what to wonder, ponder Middle 8 Nights like these, oh what to wonder x3 Bridge instrumental Chorus Nights like these, oh what to wonder Nights like these, oh what to wonder, ponder

Waiting for me, when they hear the sound of thunder Taps on my door, they’ve gathered here in numbers A flap of a wing, they’re ready for the plunder Waiting for me, when they hear the sound of thunder Should of set me up, to go In the dark I’ll know Running from the way I feel In the dark I’ll know A cloud on my back, that’s good I like the rain It was meant an attack, attack that fell in vain Thunder will sound, that day I can’t escape It’s part of life, I’ll do the best I can Should of set me up, to go In the dark I’ll know Running from the way I feel In the dark I’ll know Is it true what they say? Should of set me up, to go In the dark I’ll know Running from the way I feel In the dark I’ll know

Made In China is by no means a song to say anything against the rise of China (I like China!). It's rather a song about the arguable demise of the UK. I personally feel that the UK has turned the wrong way in some areas and is being replaced on the world stage.

One little dice, another moment that changes life One little roll, you think that you’ve found control One little click, you know that it will not be your last One little chance, you’re waiting for that moment now Caught by the dice, you’re bleeding you’re cut inside you know yourself Run for your life, forever you’re stuck inside your DIY stride It’s just a roll of the dice x3 One last go, you’re taking a chance just like you always will One little chance, you’re waiting for that moment now Flee for your life, please just go, go Run for your life, please just go, go It’s just a roll of the dice

Cold heart and twisted souls, bitter until the end Deceived by the grimmest of all, hatred in human form You think you’re a martyr now, dying for your own cause I guess you’ll find your paradise, has a man with a pitched fork Has a man with a pitched fork Hey slave for Isis, what have you actually achieved Your family thinks you’re a monster now, the door to your home is closed The screams of a thousand lives will echo in your ears I’d rather be your victim, then to live life in your shoes Hey you, soldier, the time has come to change your mind and Live right, tonight, drop your guns and see the light and stop this bloodshed, your pointless journey to hell fire Paradise has got no place for Isis

Black Sails 03:49
Where do you think you’ll catch the oceans final straw? When do you think you’ll finally fill your quota? Where do you think a road of greed and plunder goes? Don’t you know you cannot tame the ocean? Who are we fighting for? Why do we scar ourselves? (Background voice): Should have seen the star x3 Fire, star Should have seen the star Black sails gliding through the dead of night Moonlight requisition as if by right Dredging homes ’til the morning comes. What will you do when there’s none left to give? Lately they’ve been watching you, making ready, holding through Black sails sailing through the dead of night Dredging forever for money and might. What do you say when you feel it’s over? What do you think now you’re going over? Tossing, twirling, twisting through the murky depths Tables turning, better beg for mercy! Who are we fighting for? Why do we scar ourselves? (Background voice): Should have seen the star x3 Fire, star Should have seen the star Black sails gliding through the dead of night Moonlight requisition as if by right Dredging homes ’til the morning comes. What will you do when there’s none left to give? Lately they’ve been watching you, making ready, holding through Black sails sailing through the dead of night Dredging forever for money and might.

Dream Catcher Is this the line? The one that’s been drawn on the surface? It’s already numbered. What did you want? Was it just another clone, On the belt inside your factory? Every time you wake up, feeling like it’s over Keep on going, with all your might When they try to break you, follow you and fake you Let them now that you can bite And it seems like, feels like We have lost ourselves And we’ve gone the wrong way Manufactured life Want something new? Then break the mould that has been given And put it on no more Come out of dark And see the world that has not risen It’s better than before Every time you wake up, feeling like it’s over Keep on going, with all your might When they try to break you, follow you and fake you Let them now that you can bite And it seems like, feels like We have lost ourselves And we’ve gone the wrong way Manufactured life Let’s take a picture now Stop! Wrong shows, wrong hair, wrong face, wrong you I want a clone, just like the others Change shoes, change clothes, change face, change you Every time you wake up, feeling like it’s over Keep on going, with all your might When they try to break you, follow you and fake you Let them now that you can bite And it seems like, feels like We have lost ourselves And we’ve gone the wrong way Manufactured life

Where the mountain meets the sea The rift is deep for those that flee Climbing up forgotten paths For misty views Couldn’t seem to find a door I’d build my own, but I’m not sure The key is rusty through and through This can’t be it Running to the fight x2 It’s time to go my common fly x2 Go x6

When you come through the lights and you hear all the sounds The fool in this sight you won’t ever regret Filled by the hope and the promises made When you know that you’ve found a house in the dunes When you know that you’ve found a house in the dunes One little man with an open mind, could seal the path forever One little box with an open drawer could steal the thought and pleasure When you see through the smiles and the glazed over eyes People entrapped is a thought they despise Kept by a mixture of hope and fear There’s nowhere to go, but the house in the dunes There’s nowhere to go, but the house in the dunes One little man with an open mind, could seal the path forever One little box with an open drawer could steal the thought and pleasure

about

Beneath The Waves is a compilation of songs from Inkfields, a few of which were written several years before the album launch.

The themes covered in the lyrics span several topics from conservation, to personal situations, to current political issues.

There is, however, an underlying theme throughout. The artwork, related videos and songs mainly emphasise an ocean theme, in particular the need to protect our oceans.

Most of the album was written in Germany, Scotland and Sweden. It was recorded (Chamber Studio) and mastered (Castle Sound) in Edinburgh, Scotland.
