STEP INTO THE LIGHT
James Hall/Andrea Wittgens/Connor MacDonald
Soldiers off to war
Girls who live next door
Old men and their shadows
All will face the gallows
Return to us
That's where you came from
Fall into dust
That's what we're made of
Knowing there's no hell or heaven
Give up the ghost
Lay down your arrows
Head to the coast
Eye on the sparrow
Step into the light all knowing
all knowing
all knowing
Youth who wanted more
Rich who blame the poor
Screen stars in their trailors
Prisoners and their jailors
Return to us
That's where you came from
Fall into dust
That's what we're made of
Knowing there's no hell or heaven
Give up the ghost
Lay down your arrows
Head to the coast
Eye on the sparrow
Step into the light all knowing
all knowing
all knowing
Now you know the story
No need for your worries
Return to us
That's where you came from
Fall into dust
That's what we're made of
Knowing there's no hell or heaven
Give up the ghost
Lay down your arrows
Head to the coast
Eye on the sparrow
Step into the light all knowing
all knowing
all knowing

STAND YOUR GROUND
James Hall, Andrea Wittgens, Kipp Wilde
You build your walls to protect yourself from hurt
Live off the grid with what you did
Dig your trench in dirt
STAND YOUR GROUND
STAND YOUR GROUND
TELLING THE WORLD LOVE LET YOU DOWN
STAND YOUR GROUND
You got your right to protect
You lock your doors at night
You know you won't run when they come
And you're prepared to fight
STAND YOUR GROUND
STAND YOUR GROUND
TELLING THE WORLD LOVE LET YOU DOWN
STAND YOUR GROUND
When the waters broke along the ridge
I heard gunshots on the bridge
And you won't tell me where you've been
Notify the next of kin
You saw the threat, no regret
You made your case airtight
Tore a hole in your heart when you shot on sight
STAND YOUR GROUND
STAND YOUR GROUND
TELLING THE WORLD GOD LET YOU DOWN
STAND YOUR GROUND
STAND YOUR GROUND
STAND YOUR GROUND
TELLING THE WORLD LOVE LET YOU DOWN
STAND YOUR GROUND

If Love, Then Mercy Too
Written by Andrea Wittgens / Sugar Ransom / Tomcat Joe)
You found me in the shadows
Still your eyes met mine
And out of the valley
To release so divine
When I’m not worthy
Your grace will return me
If love, if love then mercy too
Heaven won’t show through the clothes I wear
No gold or pearls will take me there
When I’m not worthy
Your grace will return me
If love, if love then mercy too
Guitar Solo
You weren’t there in the temple
You weren’t there with the saints
You weren’t there in the circle
Throwing stones at my shame
But at the top of the mountain
If I sing out your name
There is love, there is love
And mercy too
There is love
There is love
Through the wrong and the right
In the darkest of nights there is love
And I know in my bones
We are never alone
There is love, there is love
And mercy too
If love, if love
Then Mercy too

YOU’RE NO ISLAND
Written by Andrea Wittgens / Victoria Vox / Jimm McIver / James Hall / Vincent Gates
Don’t have to go it alone
When the water’s rising
I got a boat and some rope
And I can take you home
You’re no island
You’re no island
You like to keep me at bay
When I come calling
Now honey don’t be a afraid
Just take a leap of faith
You’re no island
You’re no island
When there’s no stars
And you’re lonely lonely lonely
And the fog hugs ground
I’ll wrap my arms around you
Instrumental
You’ve been drifting too long
Out on the horizon
Come back where you belong
And we can carry on
You’re no island
You’re no island
When there’s no stars
And you’re lonely lonely lonely
And the fog hugs ground
I’ll wrap my arms around you
You’re no island
I’ll wrap my arms
You’re no island
Come and get you when the water’s rising
You’re no island
I’ll wrap my arms
You’re no island
Ooooooh
You’re no island

IN THE DEEP OF THE NIGHT
Words and Music by Andrea Wittgens
In the deep of the night
While the watchmen were sleeping
we’ve got one eye wide up open
And the other still dreaming
We’ll go to the river where the water is clear
And we’ll swim in the deep of the night
In the deep of the night
While the watchmen were sleeping
We've got sins for the taking
And bodies for giving
We'll go to the river where the water is clean
And we'll swim in the deep of the night
Nothing’s written in the stars tonight
But we cling to it still like a moth to the light
Hoping that the dream, the impossible dream
Will rise in the deep dark
Rise in the deep dark night
Rise
Rise Up
You got your stories and I got mine
You got your stories and I got mine
Pieces of fiction all tattered and torn
We spin out to suit the disguises we’ve worn
Shiny machines in leather and chrome
We stole them from strangers and called them our own
There’s no falling
From imaginary skies
I’m not lying
I’m not lying….this time
In the deep of the night
While the watchmen were sleeping
We’ve got one eye wide open and the other still dreaming….
