The Fountain

I watch as the water plays with the sunlight
I watch as the glimmers dance upon the waves
I watch as the tree leaves sway in the warm breeze
I watch all the golden sparkles in the spaces
And now I know I don’t need another one
Standing beside me to uncover the sun
I watch as the water rolls over the rocks
And I watch as the green Life reaches so high
I listen to bird song and the cicada hum
I feel the heat and I let my spirit sigh
And now I know I don’t need another one
Standing beside me to re-ignite the sun
And if the world begins to fall apart
And your dreams they crumble and grow dark
And you dwell on what you do not have
Look again to the river’s path
I wish that I knew the way to The Fountain
The source of all the beauty in the world
I wish I could find the Heart of Creation
Then I recall there’s no secret at all
And I wish that I always remembered
But sometimes we lose ourselves
We think there’s a maze or a special kind of key
But the love is free
The love is free

Horizon

To feel alive
Is to die over and over again
To see those sights
All whizin’ by, the whole world is changin again
But if your nerve starts to crack
You just wanna relax
Then baby take your time
If you need to lay down
Well there’s a hundred little sleepy old towns
That’ll take your dime
Feel the wind in my hair
Meet the faces, the ladies so fair
And hear my horizon calling me on
To feel alive
Is to solemnly swear, to welcome whatever comes near
The moon, after dark, the unreachable stars
Their light it is free, and always, always will be
And If you want some company
Say, hey you wanna come with me?
And they will take your hand
Don’t be afraid
There’ll be plenty time for shyness in the grave
Come on make a stand
So take me out to the wild unknown
The world is wide and the dyin is slow
I’ll pay the cost and I’ll pay it no mind
And fly
Take me out to the feeling I’ve known
Heart like a feather and head full of song
I’ll make some scars and I’ll wear em with pride
And fly
But if you wanna try
And live a safe little buttoned down life
Well baby we’re all gonna die!
And when the grim reaper comes
You’re gonna think, ‘Damn I shoulda had more fun’
So come on, now is the time!
My horizon is calling me on
And I know that soon I’ll be gone

Light
02:24

I see light over the world
Light, pouring down on everything
Light, out of the world
Light, shining back from everything
Light all over the world
Just a moment, there and gone again
Look up from the crowd
See it breaking through the clouds
I feel light, light as a bird
Lifted up by everyone I meet
Light, lighter than words
Can say and one day it’ll fade but now I feel
Light all over the world
All my pain has led me here again
Cry out to the sun
Let the show go on
I feel love in every tiny thing
A snail, a sand dune, a broken swing;
One with all of the grandest things
The cosmos, the end of time, the song it sings
All over the world
Darkness will descend again
But I’ll cry out to the dying light
Watch me in full flight

Purification
03:19
|

|
Kneel down before the darkness
And let it sweep you away
Clear your mind of all deception
Sink into nothing’s embrace
Let go of all you cling to
Strip all the nonsense away
Become a purer construction
Freed from the lies and the games
Forget your name
And let in
Let in
All the pain
I feel that furnace of pain
Burning the old me away
Sail out into the cold
And gently peel, unfold
The layers of past perception
Say goodbye to soul
Let go of all you cling to
Cast out for a new home
But your old preconceptions
Must first be stripped to the bone
Forget your name
And let in
Let in
All the pain
I feel that furnace of pain
Blazing till all is changed
I wear this harness of pain
‘Til only the pure remains

The Cause of Suffering
04:13
|
|||
|
I wait for the time
The end of the night
Chase after the prize
At the end of the line
And I wait for the time
When love is truly mine
Chase after the fame
The credit and the gain
And with each passing day
I’m closer to the grave
And those moments I crave
Are still so far away
And I wait for the day
As my life crumbles away
And again again I pray
To be freed from this stage
This play of human nonsense
This apes’ petty little world
To release me, let me go
And return to the void
And I wait for the day
The clock tickin’ away
And I wish for the end
For the scythe to descend
But now and then I recall
The cause behind it all
Because I wait for the day
But I know that’s not the way
Desires come true
Then we’re just onto something new
But between those moments
When we chase after the bait
We can see beyond it all
To the light that never fades
You know there’s beauty all around you
You don’t need the world of fame
You know there’s love all around you
You don’t need a golden ring
You know there’s power inside of you
You don’t need the world to tell you so
You’re waiting for approval
But that train’ll never show

Night

Blessed be the night
The rest
And the quiet
Blessed be the dark
The ghosts
And the dyin’
We fly beneath the stars
On a cold and gentle air
Light shines clearer in the dark
Without the glare
Embrace the dying
No more trying
Kiss the coldness
Say bye to distress ]
Give yourself back to the world
Blessed be the night
The time
To recover
The hiding out of sight
The chance
To be other
Then we sail amongst the stars
Our name no longer needed
And we travel so very far, so far
No use for reason, for pleasin, for crying, for lying, for trying
Embrace the dying
No more trying
Kiss the coldness
Say bye to distress
Give yourself back to the world
Let it all go
The worries, the stones
That were weighing you down
Cause they can’t pull you now
You’re too far away
Away from the crowd
Let your name die
Your soul needs to fly
Savour the death
The freedom, the rest
