Track listing

Lyrics descriptions by Leif

1. "Mysterium Tremendum" – 6:02

   1. When I wrote this I was (and still am) reading a great deal about Zen and the hidden nature of the self and reality. Alan Watts is a particular favorite author of mine.

2. "Birth and Death" – 15:07

   1. This song is about a friend who committed suicide by leaping off a bridge into a river in 2002, a few days before her birthday. She left a husband and baby girl behind.

3. "The Room" – 6:39
4. "The Devil's Tongue" – 15:19

   1. This one is for a woman that I will always miss. She had long blond hair like golden fire and bright blue eyes. "Withering and Wishing" on the Dreams cd is also about her. Separating from her was one of the most painful things I've ever had to do. The last section is a bit of pessimism I wrote when I was younger.

5. "As Leaves Fell" – 6:32

   1. For me, falling in love is very easy and falling out of love is very difficult. In fact I don't think I've ever entirely fallen out of love with anyone, and the memories give rise to pain and longing rather than happiness, even though I know I could never go back. So these words are for someone I loved and who I will always wonder about and miss. I also wrote "Long Lost" on Garden of Remembrance for her.

6. "Never Forgive, Never Forget" – 3:16
