Eclipse is the first EP released by Night Spirit. Originally, Joe was going to have all of these songs (now only Fire) on the first full length album, but thought that these songs stood alone from the album, and story. Instead of using them as bonus tracks - it was decided to turn these four songs into an EP, and call it "Eclipse."

Lyrics
Enemies
Lost
Confused
Living all lies
Inside
Feels like I have died
Can’t find my
Can’t find my
Can’t find my way
Darkness
Hidden under my bed
Getting into my head
Why can’t I see
My enemies
Right in front of me
I’ve been
Asleep for years now
My thoughts
Are blinded by my
Hateful tears falling down
Powerless
Like a king without a crown
Why can’t I see
My enemies
Right in front of me
Why can’t I believe
My enemies
Right in front of me
Fire
Angels and Demons
Come to me every night
Pulling on my strings forever more
Once dormant now
I am awake…
Finally the time, to settle the score!
Can’t control me
Can’t you see?
No more judgment
That is not what will be
Like fire from below, I will rise
Strike down my enemies
I watch them writhe
Like fire from below
I will rise
Strike down my enemies
I watch them writhe
Thoughts like lava burning in my mind
Their hearts are as cold as darkest stone
You won’t burn me at the seething stake
You won’t leave me to die alone
Can’t control me
Can’t you see?
No more judgment
That is not what will be
Like fire from below, I will rise
Strike down my enemies
I watch them writhe
Like fire from below, I will rise
Strike down my enemies
I watch them writhe
Angels and demons have felt my scorned wrath
My instincts have always guided me well
No more pain
No more lies
My soul is mine
Not yours to sell
Can’t control me
Can’t you see?
No more judgment
That is not what will be
Like fire from below, I will rise
Strike down my enemies
I watch them writhe
Like fire from below, I will rise
Strike down my enemies
I watch them writhe
Blood is Thicker Than Water
You’re so cold
What makes you think
That it’s right to do
What you did to me?
Standing alone
How could you betray
The ones that cared for you?
What would they say?
You turned your back on us
Our tears have turned to ice
A monster you’ve become
And it can’t be undone
Restless days
You threw us all aside
What you have destroyed
What you didn’t realize
Weeping now
He looks down
And cries in his grave
At the family gone astray
You turned your back on us
Our tears have turned to ice
A monster you’ve become
And it can’t be undone
Our hearts are now broken
By the things that you have done
Blood is thicker than water
This damage can’t be undone
This Blessing or Curse
Someone once told me
That I had two strikes against me
I needed to make this count
Stand strong
Show your true amount
You must always know
It’s a vast and lonely road
It will always be a climb
The more you feel
The more you’re alive
Yeah!
The more you’re alive
The more you’re alive
They knew that I was gonna have it rough
The more you’re alive
And that the others will make it tough
But it will always be my choice alone
To make this a blessing or a curse my own
Now I am the one
I gotta do what has to be done
All alone or in a pack
Gotta take my life back
They knew I was gonna have it rough
And that the others would make it tough
But it will always be my choice alone
To make this blessing or a curse my own
But it will always be my choice alone
To make this blessing or a curse my own
