1.	Hidden by the Rain - Acoustic Demo 03:44	lyrics	buy track
My kingdom down below hidden by the rain The real score you said was too big for you to take Hidden by the rain, too big for your pockets too big for you to take I come to in your arms holding on for life Captive in this star room, how can I make it right? I owe this to you but you said you owe me too that I saved you long ago... "You were a child then, and I was a younger thief trying to solve the mystery of your small ancient motherland. I was nearly caught, shot down the first time, and by chance, you found me dying in the grass. You could've ran, but you've saved me then and I'll save you now..." Cut to our Autogyro getaway, shot down in my tracks but I'm not down for long! I'll make it right Tower shows us everything Time and rain hid away Since long before, since long before we were born Hidden by the rain Hidden by the rain Hidden by the rain Hidden by the rain
2.	I Still Feel the Night - Acoustic Demo 04:23	lyrics	buy track
The newborn morning air and I still feel the night From the place we used to have to the separate paths we've gone I went deeper in the mountains and you went towards the dawn Your light led me home till you asked me not to follow Now I'm somewhere between The place we used to have and the separate paths we've gone I went deeper in the mountains and you went towards the dawn The newborn morning air and I still feel the night I'm somewhere between the waking and the dream Holding on to memory when I can't face the dawn that fades to a harder truth: that this all changed me and you The place we used to have Now just another place we've gone I went deeper in the mountains You went towards the dawn
3.	Old Devil (Redo) - Acoustic Demo 03:34	lyrics	buy track
I'm not buying your stories anymore Living this lie is now harder than facing the truth I'm over you now, old devil I'm passing you by, old devil You may come back in some stronger form But you're only wind and I am the storm You've been tricking me into staying here You don't love me, you love control But you can't control me if I'm whole I'm over you now, old devil I'm leaving you here, old devil You may come back in some stronger form But you're only wind and I am the storm Like Dante had them I will behold the stars I'm over you now, old devil I'm leaving you here, old devil
4.	Stratosphere - Acoustic Demo 04:20	lyrics	buy track
If I surrender, you wouldn't leave, leave me to the riptide? Haunting, hauling all that meaning over me? If I surrender for a change, would I see that hidden mosaic? Haunting, holding, all that meaning under me? The haunting riptide, the endless night Vast and all apart and all along… Dreaming in the ocean on my back I'm the flea that flew beneath the acrobat In the upside down the stratosphere below Vast and altogether, all alone… What I am running toward and running from The vastness in the shadows we become The stratosphere awaits in all we are in flight To race the changing day and catch the endless night
