1.	Darkest Night (Live in Milestone Studios) 03:54	lyrics	buy track
Darkest Night Made it through the darkest night All alone without a light You’re the one who left me here You bound my feet and cut my hair I was yours and you were mine The sweetest fruit upon the vine But little little over time A spider spins a web so fine Made it through the darkest night All alone without a light You’re the one who left me here You bound my feet and cut my hair Ran away from Kraaifontein Your poison running through my veins Bit and fought and broke my chains Now I have to start again Made it through the darkest night All alone without a light You’re the one who left me here You bound my feet and cut my hair (All rights reserved by KRAAL)
2.	Daddy's Last Meal (Live in Milestone Studios) 03:08	lyrics	buy track
Daddy's Last Meal The night I was born they should have read the signs A sickle moon hung in a blood red sky I breached and fought but Ma passed away A priest came round and helped Pa to pray The devil lives in Beaufort West He wears a two-tone shirt and a khaki vest I work for him and my Dad did too I never tell a soul about the things I do Daddy checked out just like his dad before I found him lying on the kitchen floor He painted the walls with gore and blood Daddy's last meal was the barrel of a cold grey gun Police took his gun away but I got it back It's hanging in my room on a rusty old rack Just a few more years and my time will come Daddy's last meal was the barrel of a cold grey gun Just a few more years and my time will come Daddy's last meal was the barrel of a cold grey gun All rights reserved by KRAAL
3.	Deeper Well (Live in Milestone Studios) 02:59	lyrics	buy track
Deeper Well (Lyrics by David Olney, music by KRAAL) The sun burned hard it burned my eyes  Burned so hot I thought I'd died  Thought I'd died and gone to hell  Looking for the water from a deeper well  I went to the river but the river was dry  I fell to my knees an I looked to the sky  I looked to the sky and a spring rain fell  I saw the water from a deeper well Well... Looking for the water from a deeper well I was ready for love I was ready for the money  Ready for the blood and ready for the honey  Ready for the winning, ready for the bell  Looking for the water from a deeper well  I found some love and I found some money  Found that blood where it dripped from the honey  Found I had a thirst that I could not quell  Looking for the water from a deeper well Well... Looking for the water from a deeper well Well I did it for kicks and I did it for faith  I did it for lust and I did it for hate  I did it for need and I did it for love  Addiction stayed on tight like a glove  So I ran with the moon and I ran with the night  The three of us were a terrible sight  Nipple to the bottle to the gun to the cell  To the bottom of a hole of a deeper well Well... Looking for the water from a deeper well Well I rocked with the cradle and I rolled with the rage  Shook those walls and I rattled that gauge  Took my trouble down a deadend trail  Reaching out a hand for a holier grail  Hey there mama did you carry that load ? Did you tell your baby about the bend in the road ? About the rebel yell about the one that fell  Looking for the water from a deeper well Well... Looking for the water from a deeper well
4.	Circle Song (Music Experience Session #7) 04:40	lyrics	buy track
Circle Song It’s a long way to heaven and a short road to hell I have to walk this road my own damn self Cats are screeching and the dogs they yelp And everybody’s asking for a little help I’ve got a rusty old compass and my eye on the clock The circle always comes back to that self-same spot It’s a lifetime for heaven and just a second for flames Some people born with wings others born with rusty chains Draw a line back from Llandwe right back to Triomf You’ve got to go through District Six, you go through Blikkiesdorp The days go by, the struggle’s just the same The same tattoo beating in my brain The sun goes round, some day it’s going to stop Till then the circle always goes around the self-same spot He was a kid in the 50s when the parties were banned He was there in ’94 with his book in his hand He cried ‘bout Marikana when he heard the news It’s a brand-new day with the same old blues If you follow the money, it goes to the top The circle always comes back to that self-same spot Written by KRAAL, with thanks to Edgar Allan Poe's "The Conqueror Worm."
