The Rising

Spark the fuse
Ignite the sun
We’re on our own now
Reaching out for something true
The time has come
The shadow’s long
The journey’s onward
Risking all to start anew
The Universe is calling
And soon we will be
Free from all identity
There’s only one destination
The stars align
The way is drawn
There’s only forward
Burn the sky for no return
Orion’s waiting
The speed of light
Is our new home now
Tear reality in two
The Universe is calling
And soon we will be
Free from all identity
There’s only one destination
A premonition where we’re always on the run
The future’s closing in
The future’s closing in
A resolution that the Earth turned us away
We can’t go back again
Can’t go back again
A premonition where we’re always on the run
The future’s closing in
The future’s closing in
A resolution that the world turned us away
We can’t go back again
Can’t go back again
The stars align
The way is drawn
There’s only forward
Burn the sky for no return
Orion’s waiting
The speed of light
Is our new home now
Tear reality in two
The Universe is calling
And soon we will be
Free from all identity
There’s only one destination
The Universe is calling
And soon we will be
Free from all identity
There’s only one destination
We are dandelion seeds
Floating on the winds of space and time
Passing through,
The parallel lines
Dispersing blindly
Through hydrogen skies
See it all so clearly now
We are dandelion seeds
Floating on the winds of space and time
Passing through,
The parallel lines
Dispersing blindly
Through hydrogen skies
See it all so clearly now

Connected

Never thought I’d see the day
When it all came down the line
Shapes and colours fill my frame
Fluid strands of time
Never thought we could be afraid
In corridors of mind
Were we ever so contained
Walking through the lines
Past lives remembered
Answers lie in fields of gold
Follow me
Don’t
Follow me
Follow me
Don’t
Follow me
Close your eyes and see for miles
Connected to the line
I can show you hidden signs
Legends left behind
Sight clouds horizons
Regrets what came before
Follow me
Don’t
Follow me
Follow me
Don’t
Follow me
Out from the silence
There are whispers chanting, wanting to be friends
Breathe in
Last skies of winter
Signal fading coming to an end
This will all become real in time.
Hand prints in the darkness
Footprints in the sea
Promises of rapture
Spirits fear to be free
Dying fever dream
Haunted by the water
Hands prints in the darkness
Footprints in the sea
Promises of rapture
Spirits fear to be free
Dying fever dream
Haunted by the water

On Lunar Tides
10:49
|
|||
|
Words float on the lost and found
Soar on the thermals
Quiet observers called to ground
Seen from the air
Hillsides fall away
Outstay their welcome
Murmuring circles have their say
Embracing the town
A strength to believe in
We’re sailing on lunar tides
Pride has no meaning
Free from the earth
I laugh at my misfortune
I got what I came here for
Names fall out of time
Faces grow distant
Crows sing, sowing lies
Warmth from the stone
A strength to believe in
We’re sailing on lunar tides
Pride has no meaning
Free from the earth
I’m grateful for misfortune
I got what I came here for.
The woods are quiet
The ground below, resounds in line
To a beat the transcends time
Tuning to the undertow where
Waves wake up our minds
Take shelter, closed within the wings of life
Too late for flight
The trees below wear the night
For the beating of small hearts
Sleeping in the undertow
Waves make up our minds
Stand quiet, whispering the name of light
There we dance around in circles
Where the stones surround the heart of oak
Where green men lie, protecting all
The lore they can hold.
Beneath the Morning star
Beneath the Morning star
There we dance around in circles
Where the stones surround the heart of oak
Where green men lie, protecting all
The lore they can hold
Beneath the Morning star
Beneath the Morning star
Secrets in the country lines
Doing all I can to get me through the day
I’m drawing lines around my ego
Doing all I can to face a better day.
A fleeting carnival
An echo of a spark
For one, glorious life
Each moment is where we belong
Secrets in the country lines
Doing all I can to get me through the day
I’m drawing lines around my ego
Doing all I can to face a better day.
A fleeting carnival
An echo of a spark
For one, glorious life
Each moment is where we belong

Flowers in Snow
06:41
|

Déjà view outside his window
As above, so below
Traced his steps to absolution
To be the man he always wanted to be
Thinking he can change the world
Talk it down and watch it burn
Enemies on the borderline
Once again
Forever changing shape
Truth made by design
Embers in his head
The stream turns red
Anger locked in fake nostalgia
No cricket on the village green
A scene he’s prompted to remember
Editorial artillery
Thinking he can change the world
Talk it down and watch it burn
Enemies on the borderline
Once again
Forever changing shape
Truth made by design
Embers in his head
The stream turns red
Send a message to the Sisters
Bring us safely from the dark
All that lives within sound
We need you now
Send a message to the Sisters
Bring us homeward to the Suns
All our days are defined
Like flowers in snow
Send a message to the Sisters
Bring us homeward to the Suns
All our days are defined
Like flowers in snow.

Stranger in my Skin
07:36
|
|||
|
Who will I be today
I don’t recognise my face
Don’t know which life to choose
Lay in the dark awake
Synapse firing away
No sign of slowing down
I feel so unmade
The pieces all look the same
Endless halls of you
Changing with the shade
Re-write the same old page
Another read through
I’m trying to catch the waterfall
But it eludes me
Passed right through me
Need to rehearse what I say
Practice the smiles I make
I’m always feeling fine
Walking the streets in a daze
Reflections lie to my face
Borrowed space and time
I feel so ashamed
Around me a sea of blame
An open door for you
Changing with shade
Re-write the same old page
Another read through
I’m trying to catch the waterfall
But it eludes me
Passed right through me
I’m trying to catch the waterfall
But it eludes me
Passed right through me
There’s a stranger in my skin
I don’t know where to turn -
Holographic memories
Of the bridges that I burned
There’s a stranger in my skin
Seen through compound eyes
Lost in the Cloud
There’s a stranger in my skin
I don’t where to turn
Holographic memories
Of the bridges that I burned
There’s a stranger in my skin
Seen through compound eyes
Lost in the Cloud
Stranger in my skin
I don’t know where to turn
Holographic memories
Of the bridges that I burned
A stranger in my skin
Seen through compound eyes
Lost in the Cloud
Take down the sky
Deny the time
Formless
It’s only waiting for your world to come undone
Sitting in your shadow
We are one.
Breathe the ecstasy of letting go
A life lived in reverse
A bed made from your words
Breathe the ecstasy of letting go
The spiral leads you by the hand

New World Disorder
06:50
|
|||
|
The line we crossed
Isn’t where it used to be
Please keep the questions to yourself
Building walls around hypocrisy
Hold the page and shame someone else
A new world disorder
And it seems like only yesterday
We were running for the moon
They don’t stand accused of only killing time
Still they sing the blues
Turning tear drops into wine
Thought’s a prisoner to electricity
Storing neurones on the shelf
Common sense over eccentricity
We’ve only ourselves to blame
A new world disorder
And it seems like only yesterday
We were running for the moon
They don’t stand accused of only killing time
Still they sing the blues
Turning tear drops into wine
A new world disorder
And it seems like only yesterday
We were running for the moon
They don’t stand accused of only killing time
Still they sing the blues
Turning tear drops into wine
These are new horizons
But they’re charging by the hour
So we move along
Queueing for the chance to start again
We know there must be more than this
We feed our minds with empty choices
Fighting for the chance to start again

A Million Heartbeats
06:40
|
|||
|
Beneath the city of paper crowns
Tired and hungry origami lives unfold
They’ve never seen the sky before
Staring at the pavement cracks for signs of gold
Above the towers of prayer and hope
Polishing their Poundshop halos by the score
They’ve never seen the ground below
Whispering their fallacies behind closed doors
Together we start re-building
Close the gap and turn it all around
No time for deities descending
Light a candle for the past and tear it down
Together we start re-building
Close the gap and turn it all around
No place for deities descending
Light a candle for the past and tear it down.
Trust your heart
A new day is coming
Trust your heart
A million heartbeats turn a tide
Trust your heart
A new day is coming
Trust your heart
A million heartbeats turn a tide.
