And I will be the same
In the eternal frame of things
And there’ll be no-one to blame
It’s really all the same
This eternal game
This ever burning flame that sings
Heaven, Hell and earth
In-between it
Haven’t seen it
And time will allow
‘Cause all that exists is now
Heaven, Hell and earth
In-between it
Haven’t seen it
And time will allow
‘Cause all that exists is now

Buddhas in the Emptiness
03:01
|
|||
|
Each broken heart is a broken earth
Each genesis, a rebirth
So I’m not going to be your slave
When I should be servant to the world
As the sun comes up and the sun goes down
New delusions will confound
Round and round the corner round and round
You will dedicate again as you hear a new sound
There are Buddhas in the emptiness
In between worlds the fly through the window
So bird of fire, sky and earth
Always part of our eternal rebirth
As the sun comes up and the sun goes down
New delusions will confound
Round and round the corner round and round
You will dedicate again as you hear a new sound

Venus Star
06:14
|

|
So many times I’ve listened to so many worlds
I’ve moved on through as if I’m here, not running away
And occasionally I get caught in your ray,
Occasionally I get caught in your ray
The bright Venus Star
Caught away from you
Is it always so far
With Zen in your eyes
It’s no surprise
I’m caught away from you
When I go travelling thought the sea of dreams we have
So many worlds or just one Zen
Can it be as good now
As it always was then?
The bright Venus Star
Caught away from you
Is it always so far
With Zen in your eyes
It’s no surprise
I’m caught away from you
And I hope you’ll come and stay where the words don’t matter anymore
And I hope you’ll see some day what it means to open any door
And I hope you’ll understand there really are no words for it
I’ve been there, we’ve been there, we’ve been there
And we saw it, we saw it, we did

Accidental Crimes
04:36
|
|||
|
Someday we’ll wake up and we’ll realise
No difference between dreaming and the world beyond the eyes
Those trapped by the mountain, who you won’t let in
Someday you’ll realise that person is you
So I won’t call you a saviour or dress you in hope
When there’s millions of others I know who’ve hit the ground
I won’t give in in time to the accidental crimes
Hanging over our heads before the end
Circle’s forming, I hear it calling for you
Circle’s forming, I hear it calling, come on and see it through
So come on and feel this
Come on and sail this
Come on and give this a chance to bloom
Give this a chance to bloom
You’re not a cure for death; you’re not the antidote
When your sight’s impaired by the wild winds you bared
So I won’t call you a saviour or dress you in hope
When there’s millions of others I know who’ve hit the ground
I won’t give in in time to the accidental crimes
Hanging over our heads before the end
Circle’s forming, I hear it calling for you
Circle’s forming, I hear it calling, come on and see it through
So come on and feel this
Come on and sail this
Come on and give this a chance to bloom
Give this a chance to bloom

World of Fear
02:54
|
|||
|
You look on me, you’re too blind to see
The shape of your insecurity
Taking cover in your scapegoat
You should know by now
What comes around goes around
Still tripping over the same old hits of power
What have we found?
Still a world of fear
What will it take this passive victim to show you?
You’re getting nowhere in the end
With this animosity you’re giving me
You should know by now
What comes around goes around
Still tripping over the same old hits of power
What have we found?
Still a world of fear

Through these Eyes
03:01
|
|||
|
Thought the pain and suffering would never stop
Wondered where the hope died when I grew up
Calling in the Wilderness, voices from eternity
There from deep within me, now’s our only chance to be free
Fire calling, whispering, shouting
What’s our destiny anyway
You go, I know there’s a sanctuary in these eyes
And with these eyes, with these eyes, through these eyes
We’ll break on through to the other side
Break on through
Break on through
Break on through to the other side

Snowdrop
03:10
|
|||
|
Hold it in your eyes like a flower that waits till June,
Don't release it to a thankless world.
Show it to the skies like a teardrop to the moon,
Snow-white banner yet to be unfurled.
And you might find that there's a harbour on the shore that knows your name,
A seat left in a boat that might hold two.
Might find a kind of shelter where you thought there would be shame,
And dove-grey skies that seem like ocean blue.
Find the sheltered path where the twilight meets the rain,
Follow till your clothes are soaked and torn.
Look among the grass for the single piece of grain
That's grown the only flower since you were born.
And it's a blade that you might find can cut the threads that hold you in,
A book that's only words enough to heal.
And it's a kingdom of the blind where your short sight can make you king,
A cut that doesn't change but makes it real.
And though the guns around are blazing that's still where the snowdrop blooms,
And whitewash words adorn a blackened wall.
Though your sins are bright as crimson there's a small light in the room,
That says the darkness can't quite take it all.
Hold it in your eyes like a flower that waits 'til June.
Don't release it to a waiting world.
Show it to the skies like a snowdrop to the moon.
Golden banner, yet to be unfurled.

Dharma Streams
03:20

Sent a message to you today
Through the confusion the smoke and the haze
Don’t know what it is but I know it will be
Don’t know how it feels
Spirit sees from the depths of the sea
The truth is spilling out after all these years
The love I’m giving out despite all the fears
And I know there’ll come a time again
Find our way back know how why where and when
I know we will live for the day
Dharma streams and truthful smiles
The day it seems went on for miles
And miles and miles
The truth is spilling out after all these years
The love I’m giving out despite all the fears
And I know there’ll come a time again
Find our way back know how why where and when
I know we will live for the day

The Last Time
05:26
|

|
Do you see what I’m working with here?
It’s been so long, so far, yet so near
I just wish you were here and could steer exactly like me
Where do I belong?
Is love right or wrong?
The ever warming sun
Always be part of the one
The last time I’m here you’re in me through and through
The last time I’m here and it’s still you
The time has come
To send you on your way
If you ignore the truth
Then it’ll have to be OK
The last time I’m here you’re in me through and through
The last time I’m here and it’s still you

Crucifix Kiss
04:33
|

|
Always giving the Crucifix Kiss
Just say the word and you’ll catch me from my fall
I deserve it from you now and always
As much as all the times before
Keep your eyes open in perfect perspective
I’ll save you
I’ll let you down
You’ll let me down
I’ll let you down
You’ll let me down
How can we see behind each other’s faces
When we’ve already all lost our graces now?

Truth Will Out
04:54
|
|||
|
What if I said I never cared about the dying crowds
The ones that make themselves the enemy?
What if I led the thoughts to your brain
Made you believe they were your one, would you believe me?
And the truth will out however greatly comes the cost
And the truth will out however greatly comes the cost
With manipulation and their lies
They’re only deceiving themselves, I know
Looking for a guiding light
But the torch went out a long time ago
And the truth will out however greatly comes the cost
And the truth will out however greatly comes the cost
And your sky and your kingdom and your colours will come
Crashing in
And the truth will out, will out.

Each broken heart is a broken earth
Each genesis, a rebirth
So I’m not going to be your slave
When I should be servant to the world
As the sun comes up and the sun goes down
New delusions will confound
Round and round the corner round and round
You will dedicate again as you hear a new sound
There are Buddhas in the emptiness
In between worlds the fly through the window
So bird of fire, sky and earth
Always part of our eternal rebirth
As the sun comes up and the sun goes down
New delusions will confound
Round and round the corner round and round
You will dedicate again as you hear a new sound
