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 04:53
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
