Icarus II (Livgren) - 7:17
In the darkness I rise, long before
the dawn
I was dreaming of home and the life I
led
I can hear the sound, of the engines
roar
And I crave the embrace of my
empty bed
Where I'm safe (there I'm safe)
But the call is clear, and the task is
set
And my enemies wait in the dark sky
Do they fear the same fear,
do they dream like us
Do they long for the day when it's
over
And they're safe
We are cruising above the horizon
Neve knowing if we will return
In a moment we'll loose the
destruction
And we'll justify all that we burn
Here the air is cold, but my thoughts
are clear
And so I'm wondering why I must be
here
For the evil that can come,
from the heart of a man
Must be answered in kind 'til it
disappears
And we're safe
Now we're cruising above the horizon
Neve knowing if we will return
In a moment we'll rain down
destruction
And we'll justify all that we burn
Here they come
Dodging all the tracers, sky is full of
lead
I can see the pilots' faces
Safety in our numbers, eagles
overhead
We are in the sight of aces
Flak, bursting all around
Friends, going down in flames
Now we're hit, it's happened
This is what I feared
Something's telling me my time has
come
Though it should be panic, I can feel
a peace
Strangely, now I know my purpose...
Hey boys! Hey, get out while you
can
I'll try to take us home
I'm going home...

The Coming Dawn (Thanatopsis) (Livgren) - 5:44
As the dew turns into frost
There is something that I hope will
not be lost
The leaves will change, they'll start
to fall
I still wonder if it mattered much at
all
When my world starts to fade
I can only hope that every choice I
made
Will endure, and carry on ... into the
coming dawn
The breezes blow, soft clouds drift
by
Like some artists' canvas captured in
my eye
I am sure, I'm holding fast
I am dying for a lifetime that will last
But when my world, starts to fade
I'm still hoping this foundation that I
laid
Will endure, and carry on ... into the
coming dawn
We're so close, yet never touch
Can there be a love that changes me
this much
I can't see, eyes open wide
Yet I'll never doubt you're standing
by my side
When my world, starts to fade
I can only hope that every choice I
made
Will endure, and carry on ... into the
coming dawn
Myriad (Livgren) - 8:55
Upon the page, symbolic form,
both a miracle and yet the norm
The functions clear,
sum and difference will soon
transform
Equations chain, lies in His hand,
Voice authority will dance command
Solution's true, line of measure will
divide, expand
Myriad, see the numbers as they're
counting down
Thousands and thousands
Myriad, form and function to display
the sound
Line upon line every melody points
the way
The cycle turns, like Heaven's gate,
unknown integers predestinate
Calculating all we must explore, and
navigate
Quantities no man can know,
no formula to wield
No pages left to turn,
no choices but to yield
