“Home II” | Dotan 

Chasing down the silver linings
Of wounded minds and wounded souls
We are coming home, we are coming home
We are coming home, we are coming home

“Fire on the Mountain” | Rob Thomas

How do you sleep while the city's burning?
Where do you go when you can't go home?
How do you drink when there's blood in the water?
Where do you turn when the world moves on?
When the world moves on?

“Bottom of the River” | Delta Rae

If you get sleep or if you get none
The cock's gonna call in the morning, baby
Check the cupboard for your daddy's gun
Red sun rises like an early warning
The Lord's gonna come for your firstborn son
.
Drive your son like a railroad spike
Into the water, let it pull him under
Don't you lift him, let him drown alive
The good Lord speaks like a rolling thunder
Let that fever make the water rise
And let the river run dry

“Stabat Mater” | Woodkid 

In the glorious days till we lost our way
Hey, do you recall when the war was just a game?
Now the wind ventures to other plains
Hey, when will I see you again if I go?

This train whistles and blows all sounds away
Hey, how could we be close again?

Now the night is bathing in disgrace
Hey, do you still braid some flowers in your hair?
Comes the sound of boots and metal chains
Hey, will the perfume of the daisies remain?

“Blood on my Name” | The Brothers Bright 

When the fires
When the fires have surrounded you
With the hounds of hell comin' after you
I've got blood
I've got blood on my name

When the fires
When the fires are consuming you
And your sacred stars won't be guiding you
I've got blood
I've got blood
Blood on my name

“Go to the Light” | Murder by Death

Just a couple victims of this brutal reprise
Am I strong enough to let things just die?
.
Can I watch 'em as they fall 
When they finally try to stand?
Redeem myself for everyone
I've buried with these hands?

I fight, I fight
Just to keep the spark alive
But if there's nothing on the other side
Why can't I leave well enough alone and go to the light?

“The Hollow” | Renee Christine 

You can pack up and move
You can sell out and starve
You can try and leave the hollow
But the hollow draws you back into the dark

You can say what you want
But you'll come back every time
To the hurt-ridden hills
Where you've lived all your life

You can drown it in anger
You can lay down and die
You can try and kill the hollow
But the hollow draws you back into the fire

“Butchered Tongue”| Hozier

So far from home to have a stranger call you, "Darling"
And have your guarded heart be lifted like a child up by the hand
In some town that just means "Home" to them
With no translator left to sound
A butchered tongue still singin' here above the ground

“This Too Shall Pass” | Danny Schmidt

Cancer, too
Lives by this golden rule
That you must do unto the others
As the others unto you
All for the best
'Cause that's all the life accepts
And so we kill it like a buffalo
With awe and with respect
.
So, I pray to hands
And I pray to needs
And I pray to blades of grass
To find forgiveness in the weeds
But as for health
I just never did believe
And so I never prayed myself
Except to those that prayed for me

“Machete”| SPELLES

Fear is a machete and it cuts me deep
Spilling rivers of blood where light used to be
Carving each letter of its name into my skin
Now I kneel on the floor of a temple for the wounded

Warm blade, soft flesh, knives out
Praying for forgiveness
. 
Warm blade, soft flesh, knives out
It's all just a big test

“Wait” | The Dear Hunter

I’d clench my fist and bite my tongue
I’d leave a wake from all the things that I had done
'Cause there wouldn't be a thing when I moved on
.
And then I said: Wait
Is my body really part of the Earth?
And is there blood running through my veins?
I'll know when I turn to dust
But I fear the answer isn't enough

So, will I ever know Heaven or Hell?
Or is eternity something worse?
I keep my eyes from looking too far up
I fear that there is a Heaven above

“Flesh and Bone” | Black Math 

I walk alone, beside myself
Nowhere to go, ah!
This bleeding heart
Is in my hands, I fell apart

Ah, I walk alone, beside myself
Nowhere to go
My flesh and bones
This part of me, the seeds I've sown

“Pressure” | Youngblood Hawke

I am the reaper and the rain
I see hands vanish from the frame
You have to crawl to paradise
Whispered words push you through the night

Felt the pressure, seen the breaks
Let the fortune teller take it all, all
Pressure!
Heard the echoes of mistakes
Call our name until we shake it all off
Pressure!

It's never enough and you're breaking it down

“Après Moi” | Regina Spektor

I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice

Be afraid of the lame, they'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old, they'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold, they'll inherit your blood
Après moi, le déluge
After me comes the flood

“Peace Somehow” | Avi Kaplan

Spirit is calling
Through the wind on the pine
Heal the heart
Free the mind

Sunlight peeking through the rain
Take the toil and the pain
Breathe in, breathe out
Find the peace somehow

“The River North” | The Dear Hunter

Instrumental.
