1.	Empires 03:16 video	lyrics	buy track
Permanent displacement Feathers on a tree Forests full of life and stars Lost at sea A suitable precaution A broken sacred place Fires burning through these realms Killing grace Chorus Empires await your return Life that feeds the seas Don’t let it burn Empires await your return Light bleeds through the trees Don’t let it burn Running for protection Hoping for new life Colours break the myriad skies Far away Hidden from replacement These realms above the sea Anticipating you Anticipating me Lyrics by Peter Burns
2.	Ocean Star 03:18	lyrics	buy track
Felt you while you were falling Then you rose today Arms were opened wide They called out the questions Swept them all away Leviathans inside And I can’t find you Ocean Star My Ocean Star Because we mapped out the metres Just to make you pay Could we honour life inside? Yes, we saw all your beauty Like the stars today They were weightless in this ride And I can’t find you Ocean Star My Ocean Star Lyrics by Peter Burns
3.	Trying To Call 03:36	lyrics	buy track
You walked inside You wanted to see There was something left That wasn’t but a dream She’s momentum redesigned Look behind her eyes There’s a sadness undefined Trying to call Stay with me, Fly over the wall I’ll stay with you. Momentous scenes So hard to find And the rules have changed So many different times She’s momentum redesigned Look behind her eyes There’s a sadness undefined Trying to call Stay with me Fly over the wall I’ll stay with you Colibri Lyrics by Peter Burns
4.	Teardrop Parade 03:00	lyrics	buy track
Dreaming sweeter plans Washed out all this pain Plants, animals guiding ways to the stars Breathing borrowed skies Watching those clear eyes The highway dragging down before she could fly Lost horses guided now Tear-stained and gold Chorus: Teardrop Parade Tear-stained and gold Teardrop Parade Tear-stained and cold Believing all his plans Steering storms again Broken pavement guiding a way to the sky Breathing through this time A painful hill to climb The power of speed pulled him down before he could try Lost horses guided now Tear-stained and gold You walked through the snow Through these dreams left untold Left untold Lyrics by Peter Burns
5.	Building A Bridge 04:08	lyrics	buy track
Her body sways She pulls her face From the window Just like every other day Trying to find a light The bridge is falling down She pulls him closer Just like every other day Trying to stay alive Building a bridge Building a bridge To the border Trying to get, trying to get away Zsuzanna wakes pulls her face From the picture Tanks are lining up outside She can feel the tide The bright frozen lights All those wounds that linger Just like every other day Trying to stay alive. Building a bridge Building a bridge To the border Trying to get, trying to get away She was going places that she’d never been To try and see behind the wall She was pointed to stars that won’t fade away Though she couldn’t see the sky at all. Building a bridge Building a bridge To the border Trying to get, trying to get away Changing the guards, Changing the guards It won’t change a thing today Change a thing today Lyrics by Peter Burns
6.	Love Songs 03:30	lyrics	buy track
Jane took a train to the back of the stage, Falling down eyes full of rage, She had to get the sails down, Before she gets you high. She walked down through the park To the stock exchange Tall trees talked, needles rained, She wants to come down Now her eyes are dry. Push through the pain This broken maze Rain drives down A heartless pace Rigs in the ditch Where she wants to try She wants to fly. Love songs you keep playing me love songs. Love songs La la la la la. Paul took a fall at the back of the stage, He was trying to be strong, fully engaged, He had to pull the mask off Just to say goodbye. He walked down through the park To the stock exchange Tall trees talked, needles rained, He wants to come down Now his eyes are dry. Push through the pain This broken maze Rain drives down A heartless pace Rigs in the ditch Where he wants to try He wants to fly. Love songs you keep playing me love songs. Love songs La la la la la. Lyrics by Peter Burns
7.	Eden 03:18	lyrics	buy track
Take that lonely road Do just as you’re told Like the heavy hand I could feel you Walk through Eden’s streets People that you meet Fall away like sand They don’t need you Don’t you walk away Turn your back and stay Don’t you walk away I could help you Watch their eyes grow cold See the lies they’ve sold Like the heavy hand It could feel you The flesh was stripped today From words they gave away All his golden rings Couldn’t please you. Don’t you walk away Turn your back and stay Don’t you walk away I could help you Take that holy road Do just as you’re told Like the heavy hand I could feel you Lyrics by Peter Burns
8.	Gravity Of Love 03:48	lyrics	buy track
Falling skies, tearstained eyes Help us see again Through this passageway Deep inside the pain Though fallen We’ve stumbled To our feet again This avalanche This moving train The kiss on my skin Makes me whole again Fragile ships on the sea Silver wings in the rain Your kiss on my skin Takes me home again The gravity of love The tide that pulls it in Falling ash…frozen light Woke us up again In this corridor Deep inside the rain We’ve fallen We’ve faltered To our feet again Life’s avalanche This deserted train The kiss on my skin Makes me whole again Fragile ships on the sea Silver wings in the rain Your kiss on my skin Takes me home again The gravity of love The tide that pulls it in Lyrics by Peter Burns
9.	1000 Years 03:56	lyrics	buy track
I walk you down to the square I try to look and find you I look but you’re never there I’m standing right beside you A fallen angel in the sea Until the morning comes A fallen angel next to me Until the evening comes She’s falling, she’s falling I walk you down to the shore To try to look inside you I look but I can’t ignore All the things that divide you A fallen angel in the sea Until the morning comes A fallen nation next to me Until the evening comes She’s falling, she’s falling A thousand years. She pulls the trigger melts away Inside her hands Our lives are saved She kisses the sky and she floats away In mother’s hands bombs away Light leads to the door The person that I knew Peace leads to war The conscience inside you The velvet hits the ground All around you hear the sound Desperation’s only course She will be your only source Lyrics by Peter Burns
10.	Silent Sky 02:04	lyrics	buy track
You wake up and wonder What was in those eyes But you never really knew You’re walking in wonder What is up ahead? Could it be a piece of you? Daylight pulled the sky away Daylight pulled the sky away We’re walking and waiting We’re walking to the sea But we never found a home Daylight pulled the sky away Daylight pulled the sky away Night light tore the sky away Pass it on to you one day Lyrics by Peter Burns

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
