CROSSING OVER
Lyrics-Maggie Carlton/Music-CM Carroll
VERSE
Into the woods we go
Veil as dark as night
Can’t see what lies ahead
Shadows shift the light
Under and over crawl
Hanging on holding strong
Sounds off the mist
They scare
Even the darkest soul
Can’t trust your eyes you see
What do you think you saw
Can’t trust the sounds you hear
Listen the bell it tolls
Over and under crawl
Veil as dark as night
Sounds off the mist
They scare
Even the darkest soul
PRE-CHORUS
I feel I’m crossing over
Help me I’m crossing over
I feel I’m crossing over
Help me I’m crossing over
CHORUS x1
In the night while
You are sleeping
I hear the crowds
They’ve come
Angles trembling, angels weep
Declaring
Judgement has come
VERSE
Orphan your soul
You’re scared
Fire the witch they said
Orphan your heart
To find
Goddess inside she hides
Stripped of your sanity
Torn from the things you’ve known
Can’t bare the sites you see
The innocence succumb
Stand to your feet
You dare
Shatter the world they know
Block out the memories
Time to keep is cold
Fight with your head held high
Fight through the darkest night
Shatter the world they know
The innocence succumb
PRE-CHORUS
I feel I’m crossing over
Help me I’m crossing over
I feel I’m crossing over
Help me I’m crossing over
CHORUS x2
In the night while
you are sleeping
I hear the crowds
They’ve come
Angles trembling, angels weep
Declaring
Judgement has come
Softly spoken, words repeating
Can’t tell
What’s on their tongue
Angels trembling, angels weep
Declaring
Judgement has come
BREAKDOWN/BRIDGE
I’m crossing over
Orphan my soul
I am scared
Fire the witch they said
Orphan my heart
Just to find
The goddess she hides inside
I won’t succumb

DOWN
Lyrics-Maggie Carlton/Music-CM Carroll
VERSE x 4
Revenge you seek
A reflection of you
Not me
High tide
Will raise all ships
Like lies that
Left my lips
You hide
Things you did
Behind your ego
Lives
someone I once
Knew him
He died
And now all this
Your eyes
sting my bliss
You take
Anything you wish
You think I planned all this
Like you had no hand in it
PRE-CHORUS
Taking back
The time that’s mine
The innocence
Has come and gone
You can’t hold on
I won’t be held
Blames not all mine
It goes around
Stranded from these
Changing times
It won’t slow down
Takes what it wants
The shadow shows
My one true self
I’m sorry for my fatal love
CHORUS
I am the one who brings you down
Erase all the lies I told you some how
Now is the time to let me go
Now is the time to let me
VERSE x4
I own my fault
Yes I know my flaws
Admit what
I’ve done wrong
Somehow it’s never enough
You’re not on the cross
You’re not the chosen one
You bleed like
All of us
So won’t
Please just stop
Not giving
What you want
Not bowing
Taking faults
You had me
But you lost
Your arrogance
Knows no bounds
PRE-CHORUS
Taking back
The time that’s mine
The innocence
Has come and gone
You can’t hold on
I won’t be held
Blames not all mine
It goes around
Stranded from these
Changing times
It won’t slow down
Takes what it wants
The shadow shows
My one true self
I’m sorry for my fatal love
CHORUS x2
I am the one who brings you down
Erase all the lies I told you some how
Now is the time to let me go
Now is the time to let me
Down
Guitar solo
CHORUS x2
I am the one who brings you down
Erase all the lies I told you some how
Now is the time to let me go
Now is the time to let me down
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down

A SILENCE
Lyrics Maggie Carlton/Music CM Carroll
VERSE
Down in the dark the deep
Down where the fear it sleeps
I feel something
Tempting me
Pulling, and pulling, and pulling, and pulling me down
Something dark
Something grey
Now I can feel my fate
Softly whispering to me
Pulling, and pulling, and pulling, and pulling me down
CHORUS 1
There’s a silence
Where there’s no sound
There’s a silence
Where no sound is found
VERSE
In the cold
From underneath
I feel something watching me
Shadows lurking over me
Pulling, and pulling, and pulling, and pulling me down
Light will shine on all mankind
Forces mend forces bind
They all seem so blind
Pushing, and pushing, and pushing, and pushing me out
CHORUS 1
There’s a silence
Where there’s no sound
There’s a silence
Where no sound is found
PRECHORUS x2
Hell is bare
The devil’s here
Shadows line
My fear
CHORUS 2 x4
There’s a silence
no sound
There’s a silence
I found
VERSE
Fury fire raging deep
Underneath souls speak
Screaming out this world is blind
Pushing me, pulling me,
Pushing me, pulling me down
I will find my own way
Takes me further everyday
I will not do what others say
Sending me, pushing me,
taking me, pulling me down
CHORUS 2
There’s a silence
no sound
There’s a silence
I found
CHORUS 1 x2
There’s a silence
Where there’s no sound
There’s a silence
Where no sound is found

Upon My Life
Lyrics-Maggie Carlton/Music-CM Carroll
VERSE
Screaming bloody murder
The pale moons in my eyes
You had to twist it further
blood runs but I won’t die
This pain is so euphoric
My will control my mind
My body on the surface
I’m freeing from its bind
CHORUS
I am the witch inside
I am the Siren
Let love
Let light
Guide me
But head the warning
push me or take what’s mine
VERSE
Balance be my guide
Justice my servant
You’re holding onto something
Yeah tell me is it worth it
Get out of my aura
It’s burning to my bones
Upon my life be lifted
This warriors chosen soul
I am the witch
I am the Siren
CHORUS
I am the witch inside
I am the Siren
Let love
Let light
Guide me
But head the warning
push me or take what’s mine
I will destroy you
Destroy you
Guitar solo
x4
I am the witch
I am the siren
CHORUS
I am the witch inside
I am the Siren
Let love
Let light
Guide me
But head the warning
push me or take what’s mine
I will destroy you
Destroy you

THE PROPHET
Lyrics-Maggie Carlton/ Music-CM Carroll
VERSE
Take my hand
For what it’s worth
Found you down
In the dirt
Hold your head
In your hands
Broken bleeding
Barley stand
Hope comes
In many forms
It has power
‘Cause you think it does
The cap you break
Is the one you know
Your minds at risk
And no one knows
PRE-CHORUS
Almighty
CHORUS
Reach for me
Hold onto you
I’m not a God
But I’ll pull you through
The prophet speaks
Divine comes too
I’m not a God
But I’ll see you through
VERSE
Break the chains
That bind your soul
Swear revenge
Reap what you sow
Hide your eyes
Guard your bones
Guise your spirit
See what shows
Awake alive
Let ego go
Heart is light
Let darkness go
Deal in death
And you’ll get burned
The crown I wear
Has only thorns
PRE-CHORUS
Almighty
CHORUS
Reach for me
Hold onto you
I’m not a God
But I’ll pull you through
The prophet speaks
Divine comes too
I’m not a God
But I’ll see you through
BRIDGE x3
Reach for me if want
I’ll guide you through the lonely dark
Take my hand and come along
CHORUS
Reach for me
Hold onto you
I’m not a God
But I’ll pull you through
The prophet speaks
Divine comes too
I’m not a God
But I’ll see you through
BUILD/SOLO
Oh and I feel you in me
VERSE
Stars align
A final time
See your life
Through another’s eyes
Guide your thoughts
Mind your tongue
You create
What your thinking of
Balance slides
One your side
Balance shifts
Now you’re gone
Life in your hands
Don’t let it go
Live your days
Just how you want
PRE-CHORUS
Almighty
CHORUS
Reach for me
Hold onto you
I’m not a God
But I’ll pull you through
The prophet speaks
Divine comes to
I’m not a God
But I’ll see you through

TAKE ME ALIVE
Lyrics-Maggie Carton/ Music-CM Carroll
VERSE 1
Ashes of our
World will fall
Things remembered
Will be lost
I feel the fleeing
Of my ghost
But my feet are firmly planted
I don’t recognize
Any of your souls
Excuse me for
My ruthless cross
I feel the beating
In my heart
And the beast inside
Is sleeping
BRIDGE
Oooooh ooooh ooooh
Ooooh ooooh
CHORUS
You’ll never take me alive
You’ll never take me alive
No you’ll never take me alive
You’ll never take me
VERSE 2
You think the fear
Will have me lost
Misguided from
These twisted thoughts
The fighter inside me
Will never stop
So Remember me
Just how you want
Bleeding
For the broken ones
And Standing for
The weakened
This life isn’t easy
But death is
And soon the storms
over all of us
BRIDGE
Oooooh ooooh ooooh
Oooooh ooooh
CHORUS
You’ll never take me alive
You’ll never take me alive
No you’ll never take me alive
You’ll never take me
You’ll never take me alive
You’ll never take me alive
No you’ll never take me alive
You’ll never take me
(Spoken)
And the Gods spoke from all around
The spirit you seek in the water
Is a reflection of yourself
CHORUS
You’ll never take me alive
You’ll never take me alive
No you’ll never take me alive
You’ll never take me
You’ll never take me alive
You’ll never take me alive
No you’ll never take me alive
You’ll never take me
You’ll never take me alive
You’ll never take me alive
No you’ll never take me alive
You’ll never take me

WE RYSE
Lyrics-Maggie Carlton/Music-CM Carroll
VERSE
Awake arise
Or forever be fallen
Chasing light
In the blackest of forests
Woods have grown
So dark around us
The moans and cries
Of the violence before us
PRE-CHORUS
Give me strength all fathers
Give me strength all fathers
VERSE
Ghosts our guides
Visions of death
Here to remind
To push us forward
Live by the light
Die by the sword
Awake arise
Or forever be fallen
PRE-CHORUS
Give me strength all fathers
Give me strength all fathers
CHORUS x2
We will rise
Choose to follow
Stand and fight
Together we’re stronger
Today we die
Till then
We will rise
Choose to fight
Choose to follow
VERSE x2
Soaked in death
Sleepless nights
Heads held high
We’ve become the night
Stained with blood
Scares remind
Fight till the end
Fight till we rise
Holding on
I am breathing
I believe
We’re running out of time
Awake arise
Fight for your life
Awake arise
Or forever we’re fallen
CHORUS x3
We will rise
Choose to follow
Stand and fight
Together we’re stronger
Today we die
Till then
We will rise
Choose to fight
Choose to follow
BRIDGE
Waking up we will rise
Waking up we will rise
CHORUS x3
We will Rise
Choose to follow
Stand and fight
Together we’re stronger
Today we die
Till then
We will rise
Choose to fight
Choose to follow
Rise

THE WOLF
Lyrics-Maggie Carlton/Music-CM Carroll
VERSE
If you aim to cheat me
You’ll owe an offering
My looks can be deceiving
I’m a God with broken wings
CHORUS
The wolf is here
She’s on our heels
Try not to breathe
Try not to scream
We’re all animals
I just have bigger teeth
I saved your life
Now will you save me
VERSE
Held me under water
Cast me out from my home
No one around to learn from
And now I’m on my own
CHORUS
The wolf is here
She’s on our heels
Try not to breathe
Try not to scream
We’re animals
I just have bigger teeth
I saved your life
Now will you save me
The wolf is here
She’s on our heels
Try not to breathe
Try not to scream
We’re animals
I just have bigger teeth
Come a little closer
And you will see
VERSE
Hiding out like I’m weakened
Screaming out I’m strong
But looks can be deceiving
I played you all along
CHORUS
The wolf is here
She’s on our heels
Try not to breathe
Try not to scream
We’re animals
I just have bigger teeth
I saved your life
Now will you save me
The wolf is here
She’s on our heels
Try not to breathe
Try not to scream
We’re animals
I just have bigger teeth
Come a little closer
And you will see

Light the way
CHORUS

Lead me to
Your everlasting fire
Show me ways, my desire

FALLING
Lyrics-Maggie Carton/Music-CM Carroll
VERSE
Behind a veil a mask
But I can see you still
Your smile runs down your face
Rain down a windowsill
A puddle
You’re a mess
Is what you say you see
I see memories
You’ve made
For you and me
CHORUS
We’ll dance in the rain
Don’t let it go to waste
Let’s dance in the rain
Don’t let it go to waste
Hold your head up
Ride this out with me
You’re not failing
You’re not falling
You’re not falling
VERSE
So find some space and know
Know that you are safe
I’ll be here all along
Dancing in the rain
Take me by the hand
I’ll take the pain away
Bleed you from the past
Take the pain away
CHORUS
We’ll dance in the rain
Don’t let it go to waste
Let’s dance in the rain
Don’t let it go to waste
Hold your head up
Ride this out with me
You’re not failing
You’re not falling
VERSE
The beat in your heart
So near and dear to me
The sunrise you’re the spark
You thought you’d never see
CHORUS
We’ll dance in the rain
Don’t let it go to waste
Let’s dance in the rain
Don’t let it go to waste
Hold your head up
Ride this out with me
You’re not failing
You’re not falling
SOLO - Aaa’s
VERSE
I would be so lost
Without you here with me
I’m not the only one
Is what you fail to see
CHORUS
We’ll dance in the rain
Don’t let it go to waste
Let’s dance in the rain
Don’t let it go to waste
Hold your head up
Ride this out with me
You’re not failing
You’re not falling
Aa’s
You’re not falling
Don’t let it go to waste
You’re not falling
Don’t let it go to waste

THE STORM
Lyrics-Maggie Carlton/Music-CM Carroll
VERSE
Take me through the storm
Guide me I’m on my own
I know me, who I am
But I can do better than this
Higher I climb today
Changing the things I can
The Goddess she holds my hand
The light and dark are part of me
PRE-CHORUS
In the end
I’m just a song
A story told by someone else
I’ll make it loud
I’ll make it long
So you will not forget
Yes in the end
We’re all a song
A story told by someone else
So make it loud
And make it long
So they will not forget
CHORUS
I’ll get to the top
Or I’ll die trying
I’ve failed more than once
I’m use to it
I’ll never stop
I come out swinging
The gloves are off
So watch step
No angel has
Blood on their wings
And every devil
Falls from grace
So dust yourself off
Here comes the next challenge
Pull yourself up
Get up to your feet
VERSE
I am the will
The way
Been broken
Rebuilt again
Change is a part of it
The journey to the best of you
Seek peace
Prepare for war
The undertow
Is pulling hard
Keep fighting
You’ve come this far
The only way
From here is up
PRE-CHORUS
In the end
I’m just a song
A story told by someone else
I’ll make it loud
I’ll make it long
So you will not forget
Yes in the end
We’re all a song
A story told by someone else
So make it loud
And make it long
So they will not forget
So they will not forget
PRE-CHORUS BREAKDOWN
Don’t have to be what they want
This is up to you
That feeling
You’re falling
Is just an illusion
You don’t have to be what they want
This is up to you
CHORUS
I’ll get to the top
Or I’ll die trying
I’ve failed more than once
I’m use to it
I’ll never stop
I come out swinging
The gloves are off
So watch your step
No angel has
Blood on their wings
And every devil
Falls from grace
So dust yourself off
Here comes the next challenge
Pull yourself up
Get up to your feet
PRE-CHORUS x3
In the end
I’m just a song
A story told by someone else
I’ll make it loud
I’ll make it long
So you will not forget
Yes in the end
We’re all a song
A story told by someone else
So make it loud
And make it long
So they will not forget
(So they will not forget)

DEMONS
Lyrics-Maggie Carlton / Music CM Carroll
VERSE
The wind off
The water
It Chills me
To my core
The silence
Is deafening
I can hear her
My soul she cries
From the ancient ones
To the rune stones
And the wise elders
Who have come before
I am pleading now
In the corners call
Please protect my soul
I am so worn down
CHORUS
All these demons
From my past
Do you hear me now
Time fades away so fast
Where am I now
VERSE
Currents
Pulling quickly
Tides are rising
Loosing sight of shore
The moons glow
On the water
All around me
Will guide me home
Now the winds they blow
And the sky bleeds out
Shifting earth the ground
Here the fires come
It’s a warning sign
My soul she cries
Light leaves my eyes
Will they take me
CHORUS
All my demons
From my past
Do you hear me now
Time fades away so fast
Where am I now
Where am I now
Where am I now
Where am I now
Where am I now
BREAKDOWN
Guitar
VERSE
Guide here
Beside me
My shadow
Says nothing at all
Follow closely
Hear the chanting
As the ghost shows
Visions of love
No I’m not alone
If there is no sun
I’m the nightfall now
I will stand my ground
Feel my power found
To the light I’m drawn
I will save my soul
My will Be done
CHORUS x2
All my demons
From my past
Do you hear me now
Time fades away so fast
Where am I now
Do you hear me now
Do you hear me now
Do you hear me now
Do you hear me now
