3. DANGEROUS ADVENTURES 00:02:32 WERE THE REAL DANGERS THE CANYON WALLS, OR THE QUIET CERTAINTY THAT EVERY HORIZON ALREADY BELONGED TO THEM? HAUNTING VOCALS DRIFT INTO A BED OF PIANO, TRAILER DRUMS ERUPT AND PULSING STRINGS BUILD TO A SOARING CLIMAX.

5. PEACEFUL PIONEERS 00:03:06 THEY CALLED THEMSELVES PEACEFUL AS THEIR WAGONS ROLLED WEST, YET EVERY WHEEL LEFT QUIET TREATIES GROUND INTO DUST.

13. HOPEFUL JOURNEY 00:02:48 THEY SET OFF BRIGHT???EYED ON A HOPEFUL JOURNEY, NEVER SEEING HOW EACH MILE OF PROMISE FOR THEM CAST A LENGTHENING SHADOW OVER THOSE ALREADY HOME. DELAYED, AMBIENT PIANO AND LIGHT PERCUSSION GIVE WAY TO A REPEATING VOCAL FIGURE. SUBTLE DRUMS, BASS AND STRINGS BUILD TO A GENTLE, INTROSPECTIVE CONCLUSION.

15. IN THE NAME OF GOD 00:02:39 INVOKING HEAVEN AS THEIR COMPASS, THEY BAPTIZED THE FRONTIER WITH PRAYERS - AND WITH EVERY AMEN, THE EARTH WAS CLAIMED ANEW.
