Dance for Mithra II
05:23
|
|||
If you came for Mithra we’ve been waiting for you
You know the ritual go and join the queue
You’re all here for rebirth to take part in the sacrifice
So you came for Mithra so you came for life
Yes, you came for Mithra so you came to die
Walk on through the darkness feel the blood pulse through your veins
Acknowledge your blindness the rhythm still remains
Dance another pattern the dance is half the price
So you came for Mithra so you came for life
Yes, you came for Mithra so you came to die
The pirates bring the fire now go and find something to burn
Give blood to the future for what you get in return
Once you’ve been here a while you start to recognise the sounds
The cycles and the spirals they go up as well as round
Oh, give yourself to the rhythm and dive into the noise
Join in the vibration and make a bigger voice
Understand your origin as the light personifies
So you came for Mithra so you came for life
Yes, you came for Mithra so you came to die
So you dance for Mithra so you came to live
Yes, you dance for Mithra

Because she takes you closer to the fire
every time your paths cross you feel disturbed
because she makes you question your desires
every time your eyes lock with hers
Because you're really not sure what you think she's doing
but you're ready with your finger though you face your ruin
she doesn't need a trial as she passed them all
but your judgement is already up in flames
Because she makes you face into the void
by the knowledge that she came back again
she shows you everything you would avoid
even though she doesn't do anything
because you're really not sure what you think she's done
but you're ready with your finger and she doesn't run
she doesn't need to answer as your questions miss the point
and she knows you wouldn't listen anyway
she's waiting there by the fire
waiting for you to push her in
And now you're really worried by what you think she'll do
you're ready with your finger when they ask of you
all you really want to do is make the chaos subside
and the sacrifice can double up as blame
she's waiting there by the fire
daring you to push her in
she's waiting there by the fire
daring you to follow her in
you’ll never really know until you follow her in

Desitnate

Oh you can't keep asking questions as the oracle's retiring
moving back to in his shell and now there's nowhere to knock
spoilt by the wisdom so it's time for an invasion
and the spoils aren't immediate it's never quite the same
spin back a thousand miles your patient needs refreshing
he's patently unstable his paradigms on fire
so pray to your reflection and if you can't pray in person
I know an obligation that is dying for a date
Don't keep asking questions as the oracle's reclining
he doesn't have a proxy as his budget bailed out
don't write anything down and don't take any pictures
the oracle has souvenirs and you, my friend, are one
choices are distractions choices are for losers
for minds that have been washed but still remain unclean
and now your soiled trophy demands another rematch
of all the petty crimes you had to pick one with a curse
You won't need to ask questions as the oracle's refining
the blowbacks' blowing backwards and is sold by men in suits
your footprints have been made flesh but they're looking uninspired
they want more than what is given and I don't think they're alone
so please send us your comments by the ghost or on a broomstick
to reach me here at sunset when the tide has washed away
don't think you're alone here you're a piece, not a fragment
freedom is the freedom to follow destiny
no, you are not alone here, you’re a piece, not a fragment
freedom is the freedom to follow destiny

Seeds of Light
05:55
|
|||
Straight from the darkness you came into the blindness
how could you know the light was shining straight in your eyes
from your previous journey you receive what you'd offered
that's how its predetermined that's your freedom to try
You get what you give
don't forget what you give
You’re not here to break the night but to waken the day
With seeds of light
the reason why we shine so bright
Take it as given that the mission is crucial
even though its not proven its enough to be true
you know where we're going maybe not how we get there
but we always keep trying what else would you do?
You get what you give
don't forget what you give
You’re not here to break the night but to waken the day
With seeds of light
the reason why we shine so bright
seeds of light
let them shine
let them fly
we will land where we’re needed to grow
We’re seeds of light
the reason why we shine so bright
seeds of light
let them shine
let them fly

Brighter Than the Moon
03:57
|
|||
I keep slipping in my mind tripping on the light
that's brighter than the moon
My eyes see billowing weeping silhouettes
lightning flashing through their tears
The ghosts of promises keep me honest
but they’re also driving me insane
The voice keeps whispering and since I’m listening
why don’t I just take it in?
Reconnect your day with the present light
there’s a better way than waiting for the night
I'm in neverland I walk on feathers
but my footprints keep getting in the way
I see patterns of what could happen
but the outline I don’t get to choose
the paths diverging before I’m certain
so I don’t know if I saw things as they are
keep in mind I cannot leave behind
anything that I really have to do
Reconnect your day with the present light
there’s a better way than waiting for the night
Resurrect your day with the present light
there’s a better way than waiting for the…
I keep slipping in my mind tripping on the light
that's brighter than the moon
My eyes see billowing weeping silhouettes
lightning flashing through their tears
The ghosts of promises keep me honest
but they’re also driving me insane
The voice keeps whispering and since I’m listening
why don’t I just take it in?
Reconnect your day with the present light
there’s a better way than waiting for the night

Where the Angels Play
05:08
|
|||
the stars above, they shine so brilliant
I watch from amongst the clay
my hearts desire tells me to be valiant
though she's still so far away
I walk ahead seeing nothing else significant
wondering what it can bring
if you were here, my words would pour in millions
this is what I would sing
Way down where the angels play
I'll take you home
Don't wait for the angels to cry
we can go on
I am compelled to chase this dream that seems impossible
my heart says there’s no other way
to repair that which was once indivisible
head to the forge and start again
and when I return I may be unrecognisable
but the same fire will burn
look ahead and see the greatest flame imaginable
it will echo to these words
Way down where the angels play
I'll take you home
Don't wait for the angels to cry
we can go on
As long as the flame burns there can be no shame on return
in my heart lays everything
you are the memory in my words there is no need now to rehearse
let me give what I must bring
Way down where the angels play
I'll take you home
Don't wait for the angels to cry
we can go on
Let the angels play, let the angels fly
let the angels pray, let the angels sigh
let the angels laugh, let the angels sing
I’ll take you home

Some Kind of Amnesia
04:22
|
|||
I’m moving slowly from the crossroads
although I finally know the way
wait by the sunset and I’ll meet you where we first met
while I navigate today
I couldn’t see you for trying
some kind of amnesia is why
but I can reach you this time
I’ve found my way out
I’m moving on through past the darkness
now all the doubt is left behind
wait by the sunrise and I’ll meet you at the first light
where now our paths can be combined
I couldn’t see you for trying
some kind of amnesia is why
but I’m gonna reach you this time
I’ve found my way out
I can see again the way is clear
I can see to the end
I can feel your soul I can feel your light I can feel it all I can see it’s right
let us reach it all let us reach inside let us go on all the way
I couldn’t see you for trying
some kind of amnesia is why
but now the freedom is mine
I’ve found my way out

Superman and the Witch

Is it a bird?
is that any way to talk about your mother
is it a bird?
she can teach you more from the sky
is it a bird?
get your eyes to move a little bit faster
is it a bird?
singing a song
once you get flying you'll never come down
once you hit the sky there's only one feeling
once you get flying you'll never stay down
once you hit the sky there's only one feeling
is it a plane?
have you ever seen one faster than a bullet
is it a plane?
harder than steel but a magnet for the light
is it a plane?
get your eyes to see a little bit wider
is it a plane?
singing the song
once you get flying you'll never come down
once you hit the sky there's only one feeling
once you get flying you'll never stay down
once you hit the sky there's only one feeling
woman, your broomstick has seen better days
man, your pants are supposed to be on the inside
woman, your hat gives you away
man, you think you’re so inconspicuous?
once upon a time we were in the same picture
we could see to the opposite poles
we sang the song we sang it as one
let us sing it again
once you get flying you'll never come down
once you hit the sky there's only one feeling
once you’re in the sky you'll never stay down
once you’re in the sky there's only one feeling
once you get flying you can’t be brought down
once you get flying there's only one feeling
once you get flying you’ll never stay down
once you hit the sky you’ll always be real
there’s only one feeling

Waiting for Me
07:09
|
|||
I don’t go outside when I’m looking
She still has visions yet to see
She is the fire that is burning
slowly, warming
And when I am done with hiding
She will be waiting there for me
I must have some imagination
She has already made her way
She has no need for repetition
She has only one thing to say
And when I am done with hiding
She will be waiting there for me
Her smile replaces any greeting
Her face is all I want to see
Her time is endless while mine keeps repeating
still she’s showing me so patiently
So that when I’m done with hiding
She will be waiting there for me
And now that I am done with hiding
she is waiting there for me

Because It's Real
05:08
|

If its real love it will stand up to the greatest fire
if its real love it will reach out through the flame itself
if its real love it keeps getting hotter without boiling over
if its real love you will recognise it can be nothing else
Because its real it will stand up
it can survive any rollercoaster
there ain’t words that can describe it
except real love
If it's real love try to break it, it just makes it stronger
if it's real love, you can keep pushing but stands firm
if its real love there ain't a cage can hold it all the chains are broken
because real love is the true path to which you must return
Because its real it will stand up
it can survive any rollercoaster
there ain’t words that can describe it
except real love
If it's real love you can't miss its light you'll keep believing
if it's real love let the dream take you let it be your guide
if it's real love in the face of doubt it will keep increasing
because it's real love feel its truth you know you cannot hide
Because its real it will stand up
it can survive any rollercoaster
there ain’t words that can describe it
except real love
