A Subtle Invocation
Hiding the need for reaction
Witnessing horrors outside myself
I’ve planted the seeds of destruction
Inviting the sorrow to conquer me
Desolation creeps into my darkness
An invocation finds its way to sacrifice the night
Contemplation rearranges silence
Don’t be dead, asleep, or dreaming… one more sacrifice
Calling out the urgency
The fight’s over me
Breaking up the sacred silence
With words illuminating us
Draining out the stream of sadness
Flowing down with subtlety
Pictures penetrate the mind with madness
(Pictures elevate distraction)
Suffocating all I’ve built… an empty compromise
Out from nothingness I’ve held a promise
(Out from nothingness we breathe)
The secrecy is hiding out the truth to falsify
Calling out the urgency
The fight’s over me
Breaking up the sacred silence
With words illuminating us
Draining out the stream of sadness
Flowing down with subtlety
Prisoners
Deep inside the valley lies a heart
On the ocean floor
As we flow, you and I
I’ve grown old, and we’ve moved on
Yet I’m singing the songs
Of life when the skies were bright
Memories that will never die
Am I yours tonight?
Will we see ourselves out of ruin alive?
Are we free to be prisoners at night?
Are we free?
Something’s not right, I recall in the sunlight
We could dream so many dreams
When our tides rise so high
Will we see ourselves out of ruin alive?
Are we free to be prisoners at night?
Are we free?
When we've lost everything
Are we winning?
Do we win anything?
We’ll swim deep into the ocean at night
And we’ll keep on dreaming
You and I
Will we see ourselves out of ruin alive?
Are we free to be prisoners at night?
Are we free?
Memories of Water
Returning the light to the sky
Broken as the truth I find
Like hearts mourning Jesus
When everything’s covered in white
A thousand holy teardrops fly
Showering reason
If only we knew illusion from insight
One light, one soul, towering us
You never took me for my word
Now I’m finding that I’m hurt
Now realize it’s over
There’s nothing left misunderstood
Now there’s balance in the breakdown
Memories of water
In breaking the walls of the mind
Focused on the inside line
Observing existence through lenses
They all magnify
The burning images
My eyes seek for resistance
If only we knew illusion from insight
One light, one soul, towering us
You never took me for my word
Now I’m finding that you’re hurt
Now realize it’s over
There’s nothing left misunderstood
Now there’s balance in the breakdown
Memories of water
The garden’s where we all find love
Inside the temple I hear the walls are crumbling down
A thousand lovers cry out loud
The clouds are tumbling down!
You never took me for my word
Now I’m finding that you’re hurt
Now realize it’s over
There’s nothing left misunderstood
Now there’s balance in the breakdown
Memories of water
You never took me for my word
Now I’m finding that I’m hurt
Now realize it’s over
There’s nothing left misunderstood
Now there’s balance in the breakdown
Memories of water
Jabriel's Song
(Instrumental)
Invincible
The silence of the night is all around me
As I fly eternally
Over the destruction of a memory
That guides my bride to be
I’m coming back to reclaim my hope… salvation
Protection granted outside the heart of reason
Inside a priceless prayer, I’ve become mystified
Inside the silent chamber I realize that I find
Peace of mind
Start Breathing
The season is over, the time has arrived
I’m crossing the border, my final flight
Arriving nowhere, I turn out the light
Am I so invincible?
Self-satisfaction enters my heart while bleeding
Forced recreation, outside the child will feel it
Enter the secret saviors, free from their sacred crimes
In turn their banks will fail us
Realize our peace of mind is compromised
Start Breathing
The season is over, the time has arrived
I’m crossing the border, my final flight
Arriving nowhere, I turn out the light
Am I so invincible?
Time to reach for the entity I find that I breathe for
Take me all the way down to recall the moments
Where I’ll find my own reasons
Time to reach for the entity I find that I breathe for
So take me to the day when we wake up
The minutes cover us… absolution
The season is over, the time has arrived
I’m crossing the border, my final flight
Arriving nowhere, I turn out the light
Am I so invincible?
The season is over, the time has arrived
I’m crossing the borders of my life
Arriving nowhere, I turn out the night
Am I’m so invincible?
Under the Sun
Seasons come and go
And leave behind memories you’ll never know
I’ve come to terms with how our destinies altered
But I found the dreams that conquered you
And the vows I’ve been searching for
The union, paranoid under the gun… destroyed
Time’s still dangerous, leaving me open for mistrust
Calculating dust, under the sun
Memories conjure up a hopeless emotion after us
Contemplating rust, under the sun
Singing this song
Conversations flow into a river that is growing old
I’m tired of watching you through sullen falls… you know?
I am not here to choose
Time’s still dangerous, leaving me open for mistrust
Calculating dust, under the sun
Memories conjure up a hopeless emotion after us
Contemplating rust, under the sun
Singing this song
I’ve picked up the broken pieces
And rearranged my swollen secret
Into the fire I’ll feed it
And rearrange the broken pieces
Time’s still dangerous, leaving me open for mistrust
Calculating dust, under the sun
Memories conjure up a hopeless emotion after us
Contemplating rust, under the sun
Tired of all the same
Tired of all the rain that’s falling
Tired of empty praise
Tired I’m disengaged and calling
Tired of memory
Tired of intuition only
Tired of all the fear
Tired of feeling all is clear
The Pursuit of Happiness
(Instrumental)
Tides
The word is out
Desperation leads us to insanity then fades away
Reaching out to turn the television off
We might be free, I heard her say
I’ve tried to follow every memory
Faced with all the lies
I cover my resisting eyes
Your violence crashes with the tide
I’ll stand and fight or say goodbye
The night is young
Flowing over valleys of obscurity to break the day
The dream is gone
Searching for a life beyond validity… with no ability
My tides will follow any memory
Faced with all the lies
I cover my resisting eyes
Your violence crashes with the tide
I’ll stand and fight or say goodbye
It's time to go
The sun is out
The light will fill the room
Your time is up
As you fall down
I'll wait for the moon
Intuition Underground
I’ve got a feeling I found myself
Awakened at the edge of the night
I think I’m slipping outside myself
I’ve fallen too many times
Now the wreckage is under me
And there’s nowhere to hide myself
Now they’ll look straight into my eyes
I’ll watch them take away all that’s mine
There’s gotta be some kind of way out of here
A return to a time when all was clear
I sent the memories tumbling down
Intuition underground
I’ll never mind the sorrow
But it’s taken too many lives
If crying eyes reveal their stories
My words will run cold and dry
Will I break from the crowd?
I’ll make a promise to find out how
When I reach for the crown
That’s when I know that I’m going down
There’s gotta be some kind of way out of here
A return to a time when all was clear
I sent the memories tumbling down
Intuition underground
Into the night I’ve fallen
Spiraling, out of focus
Hearing my words reflecting
Speaking the words unspoken
Never mind that it’s complicated now
Anticipation, a final bow
And I feel so alone
The curtain’s down
There’s gotta be some kinda way out of here
A return to a time when all was clear
I sent the memories tumbling down
Intuition underground
There’s gotta be some kind of way out of here
A return to a time when all was clear
See the memories tumbling down
With Intuition underground
Breathing Light
Your beauty was shrouded by your light
And when the eyes reflect you, the dervishes cry
A moment of gentle gazes
Outside, where words reply
Wisdom flees from selfish eyes
But kindness overflows with passion
And dances with you
Outside, where lovers fly
Prying eyes embrace the conscious lies
For reasons yet unknown
Evidence will only compromise their feelings
So alone
And every night I ask the question why
With hopes you’ll answer in a dream
While mendicants reveal their hope for life
I’m trying to believe
So free me, from me
And hear me calling
Communication trapped by resistance
Contagious accusations
Immunity with no reason
Inhaling… exhaling us
With no perception of the mind
With no projection of the mind
With no reflection of the mind
With no protection, breathing light
Crying eyes won’t see beyond the night
All blurred, but not unknown
As nations gather, blood is justified
And demons cry for war
And every night I ask the question why
At every moment, every dream
But nothing seems to really satisfy
So find what you believe
And free me, from me
And hear me calling
Communication trapped by resistance
Contagious accusations
Immunity with no reason
Inhaling… exhaling us
With no perception of the mind
With no projection of the mind
With no reflection of the mind
With no protection, breathing light
Everyone I see appears expressing disbelief
Of everyone, and everything, and our ability to breathe
The time is right, when hope has died
Your reasons why were never justified
What is right when all is wrong?
The pious have come and gone,
Just give us the answers
So free me, from me
And hear me calling
Communication trapped by resistance
Contagious accusations
Immunity with no reason
Inhaling… exhaling
Overthinking brings new disorder
Contagious absolution
The subtleties lack intuition
Exhaling… Inhaling us
With your perception of the mind
With your projection of the mind
With your reflection of the mind
With your protection, breathing light
A Planetary Shift
I never dreamed we’d ever say goodbye
I never felt emotion still my mind
I feel that we’ll find each other another time
Dreaming of life or memories
Now everything is covered by the night
And every year I swallow a sacrifice
I’ve looked deep inside
What’s left there to realize?
It’s all been lost… misunderstood
Designed to break our hearts
We’ve wandered from the start
When earth and sky depart
I’ll find you were the one
The wind is singing like the birds at dawn
The music whispers your name, and I return
Look at the stars reflecting on you and I
Their planets shine for all to see
Designed to break our hearts (Find what you’re searching for)
We’ve wandered from the start (Find what you deserve)
When earth and sky depart (Find what you’re searching for)
I’ll find you were the one
In time we’ll question why
Eternally gratified
We’ll shift in time
Designed to break our hearts (Find what you’re searching for)
We’ve wandered from the start (Find what you deserve)
When earth and sky depart (Find what you’re searching for)
I’ll find you were the one (Find what you deserve)
I’ll find you were the one
I’ll find you were the one
I’ll find you were the one
I’ll find you were the one
The Day We Said Goodbye
Who'll believe when the time is right?
Who'll see when your eyes are blind?
Who will be with you late at night?
Who will leave when we say goodbye?

Sensus Divinitatis
So hear me
This love we feel I’ll seek again
The chains of birth won’t draw us near
Misguided hearts will fail the test
But I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna leave here
To find you with someone else
The gentle smile of the lover’s heart
Is all we’ll seek until the end
So refer to your memory
And breathe
The Writing's on the Wall
Breaking from awareness, there’s no calm here
Leaving our existence in the hemispheres
Far from our arrival, memory’s so unclear
Destiny surrounding, and my soul appears
In the dark, you’re released to find your own direction
So return to me
Burning stars obscured by light
Will shine throughout the sacred nights
But I can’t find the will to fight
An urgency surrounds me
When the night is strong as the day is long
See the writings on the wall and step aside
As the days go on and darkness comes
The skies will tell the tale
When the morning sun survives the night
Mother, carry me through this illusion
The light that covers me will burn the nation
In the ashes under water
Intensity burns from the separation
I cannot contain myself from the truth
And I cannot protect you from its fire
When the night is strong as the day is long
See the writings on the wall and step aside
As the days go on and darkness comes
The skies will tell the tale
When the morning sun survives the night
The nights are yours to own
When love is yours alone
In time we’ll move ahead
The writing’s on the wall
The days will come and go
Tonight we’ve been reborn
It’s time to move ahead
The writing’s on the wall
In union with the stars
Saturn lies awake
The writing’s on the wall
In time we will move on
The writing’s on the wall
Fear is
The garden of emotion
Is buried in the snow that falls tonight
From underneath the blanket,
The secrets will reveal themselves in time
With time
There’s silence in moment
When ignorance and knowledge become one
But over in the distance,
The air is charged by an unrelenting sound
A fear that calls for you
Running through streets in the dark
Counting my cards
Rising from the ashes of defeat
Searching for love
Finding the love
But the towering fortress cries deceit
You know our hopes and dreams
Are in a sense denied
You know?
Relief, I cannot sense the thought
I‘ve fallen in too deep
A victim of the nights
You know?
It’s such a perfect time for me
To reach my final fight
With time but no tomorrow
Fear is such a vicious compromise
Buried by our dreams
With hopes to touch the sky
Sober minds will weep
Drunkards will sing through the night
You know there’s no relief
The victims cry for life
It’s such a perfect time for me
To reach my final fight
With time but no tomorrow
Fear is such a vicious compromise
With such a perfect void to feed
The separation cries
A strange world with stranger sorrows
Fear will follow us!
Nafsi Ammara
Patience with no recourse
Silent moments in conversation
Tell me what I should know
And realize you are the complication
Nafsi
When madness appears
It’s tempting
And temptation is all that we’ve got
Breaking the contradiction
Hypnotized, terrified by you
Lost without inhibition
Burning in the night, you’re failing us
Cowered by consequence
Flesh desires recognition
Nafsi
An ego ideal
Nothing
Nothing is already won
Breaking the contradiction
Hypnotized, paralyzed by you
Lost with no inhibition
Burning in the night, you’re failing
When the world is far from sight
I will follow you
As the pictures come to light
Time will see it through
When the path has been denied
And conscience is defeated
You’ll take your guilt aside
Buried by the truth
Into the prison of the night
I will follow you
‘Til the breaking of the light
I will see it through
Picture the guardian
Overwhelmed by constant anger
Awaken the renegade
I’m over you, but under me
Nafsi
Nothing is real
Open
Open to what you reveal
Breaking the contradiction
Hypnotized, terrified by you
Lost without inhibition
Burning out, never failing me
Breaking the contradiction
Hypnotized, paralyzed by you
Lost without inhibition
Burning in the night
You’re failing us
City of Gold
(Instrumental)
Central Station
Softly broken
Words in their final ride
Flowing from lips that tremble
With feelings a heart would show
Above the coast a regal sky
Out from the station
The recreations of love
Leave us to fend for ourselves
Forward you’ll fall into my arms
Secret the words that watched you cry
The cold wind you feel might conquer you
I’d like to show you your own warmth
I feel it
I see you there at the station
Waiting for your turn again
I’ll wait here in our slumber
Night is all I fear
Calling out your name in silence
Holding on to you
I'll cover you with your own blanket
Awaken to the truth
The cold wind you feel might conquer you
I’d like to show you your own warmth
The light you shined I’ll shine on you
And we’ll never return to the station again
I feel you
Prove Yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself now
Peaceful intuitions bound by love
Deemed to reconsider dreams, or lack thereof
Tired of asking why
When words just fall away
Tears that I've denied
Are singing you songs of hate
Finding no direction, knowing nothing but my fear
Time has shifted all I’ve known again...
Another year
Take him in, into your light
Find your new dawn
Is it him you run to at night?
It’s time to move on
Trapping the secrets of your lies
Eliminating the dreams I’ve compromised
Tired of asking why
Your words just fall away
Tears that I once cried
Cower in the light of day
Prove yourself
Prove yourself now
Take him in, into your light
Find your new dawn
Is it him you run to at night?
It’s time to move on
Take him in, into your arms
Find your new dawn
It was him you ran to that night.
Time to move on
Go
I am the wisdom in love
Eternal, covered in dust
Time has taken over, rearranged our dreams
Of love deeper than life, deeper than belief
Submissive in prayer, under the gun (Come to us)
Inhaling the fragrance of love undone (Retreat from us)
It’s such a burden when you see it
There’s no return, no mystery
Look what we've done to our city
I cannot retreat, but I’ll just go
I saw the burden of proof
Internal, bothered by the truth
Now is never the time
To speak the words of possibility
When love crumbles to dust
And passion retreats
Submissive in prayer, under the gun (Come to us)
Inhaling the fragrance of love undone (Retreat from us)
It’s such a burden when you see it
There’s no return, no mystery
Look what we've done to our city
I cannot retreat, but I’ll just go
It’s such a lonely world we live in
There’s no real hope it’s fatalistic
Look what you’ve done to this mystic
I cannot retreat, but I’ll just go
Remember Me and I Will Remember You
Breaking apart the conversation
Emptiness fills the night
Reaching for the Vicodin
To help me crack a smile
Laughing at jealous revelation
Praying through whispered cries
Overwhelmed by complications
Of a promised wedding now denied
Contemplate the paradigm
What’s yours is yours and mine is mine
Eradication compromised
Blinding to the naked eye
Bonded by the past
We’ll shimmer in the light just out of view
When conversations end
Remember me and I will remember you
Burning through the complicated matters of the mind
Overcome by lovers when their battle’s undefined
Mysteries and contemplation challenge us to find
The visual contributions of the blind
Suffocate the paradigm
What’s yours is yours and mine is mine
Eradication compromised
Blinding to the naked eye
Bonded by the past
We’ll shimmer in the light just out of view
When conversations end
Remember me and I will remember you
Pictures cover the night
Anticipated colors of sacrifice
In my heart they play
In my soul betrayed
Until the ceremony
Bonded by the past
We’ll shimmer in the light just out of view
When conversations end
Remember me and I will remember you
When hearts are broken
Darkness conquer me
I’ll dim into the light in front of you
When conversation end
Remember me and I will remember you
One Day Closer to Yesterday
I. Where Mystics Unite
Into the deepest dream
Whispers hide behind a scream
It’s where I long to be with you
Below the starry skies
Where the attachment lies
My body pulls my desperate soul
So far from home
Remember fragrant nights,
And whispered lullabies?
The words maligned our subtleties
And when we all depart
Have we played our part?
As we evolve to destiny
Were we free?
Now I see you in another world
II. Aina Khana (The palace of mirrors)
Protect the garden with love
Reflection fights vindication
Repetition engraving the stone
I am all I see
Commanded in life
The servant is I
The master is my ability
Into the fire we fall
And with the smoke we’ll rise up
As the ashes below scatter with the dust
Breathing the light
Seeking the light
Healing the blind eyes so we can see
As I walk alone seeking my soul in everyone
I seem to find a part of our love
Pieces that we never found
In a sense I’ve always loved you
The palace has been redefined
III. When We Surrender
The sun is familiar, and yet a stranger to me in a way
I’ve seen this smile before
And remember the beauty that danced between us
But now I’m lost in the spaces that separate us
Crying out to the night when we’re broken
We’re chosen
Into darkness my heart ignites
And I’m open
Intuition will guide the night’s divine
Perfect knowledge into the hearts and minds
Of those seeking to find something closer
Devotion
Time is wounded deep in the night
Hearts are broken, I’m losing the fight
For life
In my heart, the chambers are cold
I’m hoping to find some peace here
Pictures burn all through the night
I’m hoping she’s out of reach… yeah
In the dark, she calls out to me
Nothing is out of reach here
A hidden world covered in dreams
What could she want from me again?
And when the morning comes
The future’s bright, but we don’t recall
With the truth I’ll take the fall
Nothing’s left for me but death
IV. An Uninterpreted Dream
Questions aside, when love has arrived
There’s nothing left but my surrender
You’ve fallen between us
The silence always lingers
And when you leave us
The first kiss will be goodbye
Supplication
Tears into the lining of my soul
Constellations
Refining what is real and what has gone
Consolation
Fabricating all we’ve said and done
Complications
V. Our Last Days
Freedom, social justice, peace, and love
The rhythm’s off, the melody is overly convoluted
Everything we’ll ever need returns to us again
I see the balance lost in most of us
And I remember both of us
Before we chose to come to Earth
To drift apart as you forgot and fell away
But I’m one day closer to yesterday
Returned to the heart of everything
Never again will I repeat
To feel, and think, and speak without integrity
A broken heart is where we’ll meet
But I’m still running to be free
From all the warning signs
One day closer to me
Closer to you
Closer

Falling from sky into Earth
Light is released
Sleeping by rivers at night
Thirsty at dawn
Waking up from eternal life
To find just what is real
In your house
I see heaven
Sleep now
Nothing's left here
Crawling on the floor
Where hypocrites find their own evidence
Opening the door
Leading to the temple burned with righteous ignorance
Self righteous ignorance
But I see you living my forever
Impatiently we venture out for love
Oh in solitude we question our own love
Leaving the essence of the love
Calling off the revolution
The freedom was buried in our minds
Climbing the steps to broken hearts
Where we'll meet in time
Burning down the resolution
Salvation is longing for the sky
Covering hearts with new intention
As we define
I will lift the weight of your ability
Crushing out eternal solace
I will watch you leave
Facing the night, as time wanders by
The prisons you've built will not hold me inside
But will you?
The chemicals return
The essence of the night's sun
Buried in the heart there's a memory
Tears that have fallen
Remind me of that dream
The night shall return
The fires will burn
All through the town, right through me
Hidden in the dark, your arrival
Divinity defined in a spiritual reform
I'll meet you here
Lost in sight
Will you breathe me new life?
As we wake from the night
Calling off the revolution
The freedom was buried in our minds
Climbing the steps to broken hearts
Where we'll meet in time
Burning down the resolution
Salvation is longing for the sky
Covering hearts with new intention
As we define
The citizens are divine
Yeah the citizens are divine
And your citizens are divine
When we breathe we believe
That we're only a matter of time
Miracles of Yesterday
Miracles are lost in disbelief
Emotionally charged, the energy
Colors emanate from the unseen
The purest light will cover me
Breaking down every paradigm
Defining our existence
Miracles of yesterday will bring me back to earth
Taking off, all systems go
We’ve gotta find our reasons
Miracles of yesterday will bring us back to life
Everything is conscious energy
Imagination, wants, realities
What you bless embodies your beliefs
A hidden world to be released
Breaking down every paradigm
Defining our existence
Miracles of yesterday will bring me back to earth
Taking off, all systems go
We’ve gotta find our reasons
Miracles of yesterday will bring us back to life
Gratitude's the face of God
Energy is what we are
Taken from the source
Body is the physical
Taken from the tangible
And it shall return
Back to the ground
As we go down
Breaking down every paradigm
Defining our existence
Miracles of yesterday will bring me back to earth
Taking off, all systems go
We’ve gotta find our reasons
Miracles of yesterday are miracles of now
Breaking down every paradigm
Defining our existence
Miracles of yesterday will bring me back to earth
Taking off, all systems go
We’ve gotta find our reasons
Miracles of yesterday will bring us back to life
You and I Will Change the World
Drink now
From this heart that's holding a love
That beats in isolation
A call on me to call on you
To find the essence of no meaning
The bleeding hearts just beat for peace
Awakening
By the flicker of a slight temptation
Rising up to conquer me
I’ve wondered what it takes to start a revolution
I’ll change the world for you
Surrender to yourself, to me
No contradiction will save the world from you
Somehow
The thirst will bring us to the ground
Bow down and drink from water flowing free
The deed is dead, the consequences linger
Impurities are washed by intention
Ideas end with destiny.
Don’t stay asleep
And dream with all the silent dreamers
Spirit rise from under me
I’ve wondered what it takes to start a revolution
I’ll change the world for you
Surrender to yourself, to me
No contradiction will save the world from you
End war
Take love
Break pride
The sound of the heart is the beat of the drum
Make refuge
In surrender
The void in your heart is the key to the world
I’ve wondered what it takes to start a revolution
I’ll change the world for you
Surrender to yourself, to me
No contradiction will save the world from you
Keep It Together
Dreaming of annihilation
A call to arms
Await in silence
Reaching for the lies
I found I’ve told
Feeling for the right emotion
Watered eyes in dry delusion
Drowning in a flood of words
So clear
I’ve kicked it around in my head
Have we come to the point of no surrender?
And if we walk away
l’ll still be singing songs
Peel away a dream to follow
Can’t you see the world of sorrow?
Here is where I’ll search for my lost soul
You know
It’s waiting for a revolution
Calling out in disillusion
Tired eyes won’t find their way from here.
It’s sticking around in my head
Are we reaching for ground while kicking water?
And if we walk away
I’ll still be singing songs about you.
We gotta gotta get away
We gotta keep it together
To find away
You’ve got a ticket to the world my dear.
You gotta keep it together
And when you have to fall away.
Don’t give up
Keep yourself alive!
Taking me back to the prison of past
Adolescence is everything
Holding to walls
But the ceiling still falls
And the ground is still calling to me
I feel it
We gotta gotta get away
We gotta keep it together
To find away
You’ve got a ticket to the world my dear.
You gotta keep it together
And when you have to fall away.
Don’t give up
Just keep yourself alive!
We Always Disappear
Feel the fear that falls onto the floor
It goes into the room you’ll always find me in
Is it real or just a dream to have you here with me again?
We always die here
Feed the doubt that flows into the room
Where you would find yourself always worried
Are you free and do you see the walls surrounding me?
Your voice in silence calling
The color of night bleeds into day
Voices are lost… but words remain
Colliding in vacuums we’re deep within dream
And you always disappear
Fading into vacant space, between the dreams of one
Along a silent morning
Memories will hang on me and start to breathe again
The sun will always die here
The color of night bleeds into day
Voices are lost… but words remain
Colliding in vacuums we’re deep within dream
And you always disappear
Dreamers will find annihilation, awake in memories
Visions flutter outside the realm of nowhere's possibility
The burning remembrance falls astray
I see your night return to day
The color of night bleeds into day
Voices are lost… but words remain
Colliding in vacuums we’re deep within dreams
And you always disappear
The burden of light creeps in to day
Voices are gone… memories remain
Colliding in vacuums outside of the dream
And you always disappear
When It's Our Turn
You've made your mark upon the world.
Your needle points to north to live again
The Drop
Lies have spilled all along the doorway
Outside the temple
Anger fueled by a false perception
Expose the bloodshed
Broken bottles crowd the floor
Desperate measures taking ground
Murder on the path to God
Dividing us
Pure intention
The light reflects the truth
Outside the prism
Forward progress
Spinning round and round
Drilling into sand
Righteous deed lost in self awareness
Self righteous stranger
Lost indeed from the path to water
Their fires burn us
Broken bottles crowd the floor
Desperate measures taking ground
He who’s lost will save your soul
Defending us
Pure intention
The light will bend the truth
Outside the prism
Forward progress
Spinning round and round
Crawling in the sand
Lost between the dark
And the first light of coming dawn
We suffer through empty pages
Once filled with the glowing art of love
We follow
Will we rise again?
Or watch our beauty fade with the time?
In sorrow
Empty praises end with empty words
That follow God
Arrest this man
For crimes against the world at large
Here’s evidence
I’ve taken off my clothes
Naked to the world
And I will not give in to this injustice
I'm taking a chance to find my own way
I’ll need some assistance in finding you again
And I’ll be here and you’ll see I’m not the same (I'm not to blame)
I’m not afraid
Eyes try to see
Blinded by a wind I just can’t feel
As the world calls to me
When love will split the seed and find relief
Now
Tears wander free
Always longing for the sea
Falling through the air
Longing for feathered wings
Broken bottles crowd the floor
Desperate measures taking ground
Murder on the path to God
And we look on
Pure intention
The light reflects the truth
Outside the prism
Forward progress
Spinning round and round
Buried in the sand
Buried deep in dream
The path to water shall be seen
Levitating us
Addicted to this
Addicted to the tears
As we cry
Ambrosia
Shifting frequencies to the divine
Spirit seeks arrival
Body and mind compromised
Longing for Oneness
Divided by ego in time
Existence on arrival
We are constantly exuding light
Bury me in your world
Find me in your dreams
I've picked up the pieces that fell to the ground
Armed with seclusion
And I shifted emotion to find myself bound
By the illusion
Buried the memories of all I had found
Lost in delusion
As I wait for the moment of sight and of sound
Oh will you please drink with me?
Lost within circles
Spirit in nature divine
Crosses will crumble and fall
Unity through closed eyes
Cover the crescent moon
With the veil of the bride
Breathe in the essence of all
Effortlessly breathing light
Bury me in your world
Find me in your dreams
I've picked up the pieces that fell to the ground
Armed with seclusion
And I shifted emotion to find myself bound
By the illusion
Buried the memories of all I had found
Lost in delusion
As I wait for the moment of sight and of sound
Oh will you please drink with me?
As we drift to the sound of the earth
Feeding the self to return
Amrita flowing inside of me
Healing myself to rebirth
And we'll witness reality burn
Breathing ourselves into one
Freedom's the light of existence
Pick up the pieces that fell to the ground
Oh nonbeliever
Consciously feel the expansion of life flow
As you breathe in
I've picked up the pieces that fell to the ground
Armed with seclusion
And I shifted emotion to find myself bound
By the illusion
Buried the memories of all I had found
Lost in delusion
As I wait for the moment of sight and of sound
Oh will you please drink with me?
Floods
Turning all the pages of self awareness
You're hopelessly in love again... no?
Finding other ways to be burned
Yearning for life beyond the pleasant dream
Or not?
Words will fall upon the world of self indulgence
Frozen at the core
Letters weep too
Follow the flood of your emotion
Drowning in rivers so deep
Take into account all that she reveals
All that she is will be
Pictures of Autumn guide you on your every word
Isolation brings about your fear
No witness but the sullen tear
Reveals a suicidal flight to reach the ground at your feet
Follow the flood of your emotion
Writing in rivers so deep
Take into account all that she reveals
All that she is will be
Ladies and gentlemen
So glad you could be here tonight
We're gathered here today to hand out a new lease on life
However, there is a fee to tackle these problems
And there are known side effects...
One being, you just might wake up!
So we fear the unknown
It's taken me through your soul
Foreign dreams haunting me
The water 's deep in my lungs
Breathe with me
All I've known is lost
In you, without a home
Take me there
Make me aware
Speak my words
Call me back
Home
Follow the flood of your emotion
Writing in rivers so deep
Take into account all that she reveals
All that she is will be
Follow the flood (she will be)
Follow the flood (she will lead you to believe)
Drown in the flood
That it's all that she wanted to be
Sunrise at Midnight
(Instrumental)
The Dream of the Sleeper
Changing with times for a tear
Leaves my redemption bound to the light
I touched the heart of the stone
And then ignored it
The circle’s defined
Raising myself from the fear
Saving the feelings for peace of mind
Over the hills in the east
Where we destroyed it
Westward in time
I saw you so far from me so…
Digging the sky for a light
One to seduce me
And all that I see are ominous clouds
Gazing down from the night as a warning
I cannot breathe
I saw you so far from me, so down
Trust in me my love
In return I’ll give you all that I’ve ever owned
Do you have the gun?
I will trust you’ll breathe new life to all you have known
Circles fade with time
Breaking my fall, taking it down, break it off
Tearing the walls, breaking it down, take it off
Leaving us apart
Breaking my fall, taking it down, break it off
Tearing the walls, breaking it down, take it off
Breaking my fall, taking it down, breaking off
Tearing the walls, breaking it down, (where do we go?)
Taking off
Find me in the circle that you’ve drawn
Breaking my fall, taking it down, pick it up
Breaking the walls, breaking it down, break it off
Tearing the wall, taking it down, breaking off
What do we have? Where do we go?
Breaking my fall
Trust in me my love
In return I’ll give you all that I’ve ever owned
Do you have the gun?
I will trust you’ll breathe new life to all you have known
Speaking of love defaulting to sleep
A dying dream’s final call for rebirth
Breathes with me
Finally free
Clouded skies give hope to the tears’ final wish to die in the sea
She’s so beautiful in life, and in death
She never slept nor was she ever dead
“We have to die before we die to be awake”
She said
The wind is cold
The wind is cold tonight
They’re roaming through fields of your existence
They’re singing the songs of your presence
Now be
I see myself ill in pictures that follow you
Let me sob in your love
My weeping eyes won’t judge the clouds above
My tears aren’t just water from the air
We breath so deep
I’ll get solace through your memory
I see you as if you’re in front of me
Down in the night of defeat
Alone in the lap of luxury
The aching heart of the drunkard
Pours his wine into your soul
As Intoxication slips away...
Your only witness runs down your face
Reaching for ground
Awaiting your arrival
The Seven Sleepers
And so we wake from our sleep
To find a love still breathing
And now I see what has happened to me
Awakened after centuries of sleep
Oh she never did return
She never followed me to freedom
Now I'm here alone
And it's killing me now
As I walk through the town
A calmness fills the air
Your presence surrounds me
To live again
Changing with times for a tear
As we dissolve it
Numbers
Late at night when we gather around the table
Praying for the lives
Of our fallen brothers and our broken sisters
With no end in sight
When the rain falls with the light of dawn
Will they rescue all of the ordinary people like us?
Who knows for sure?
