Falling Softly
04:49

Softly…
Her tears rang loud as lightning
And colder than snow
Snowflakes falling softly…
Glistening world of dreams
As snowflakes fall, softly
A thousand colors bloom
Inside one of none
Falling softly…
The new day hides my sun
I need…
Falling softly…
Of bright frozen light
Of days dressed in white
Softly…

Far From Home

When she fair and lonely
Finds her heart far from home
Beloved of that wondrous place
Why did she ever roam?
Wandering across the hills at nigh
All that she loved is lost
To find her way back again
Would come at to high a cost
Outcast of her own accord
And fallen far away
She searched her soul for the answers there
In the depths of night and day
Growing old and weary
Walking a forbidden path
Taking a journey beyond her sphere
She feared the lady's wrath
She found her way home at last
Raising her arms up high
Tears gleamed within her eyes
The rose into the sky

the other sun is burning
as they bite inside
they will find you there
standing there
fighting with the sky tonight
i can't forget
why can't we see them
the always unaware
in the time of yearning
this place and energy
the smooth motion
of the trees

Midnight (dancing there)
04:35

glistening in the snow
the world carries on
now I find the time has come
the truth I face alone
tell them they don't love you
ask them if they care
the coldness of their faces
the burden they all bear
it finds me
clouds parting
invades me
midnight standing there
the winters they have come
to cast on brighter days
silver stars in blackness
slowly find their way
as the nighttime falls
the children they all gasp
closed up tight for dreaming
you know they are the last
tonight the silent stillness
now has come
to put the world in motion
tonight it must be done

Lully, Lullay, Thou little tiny Child,
By, by, lully, lullay.
By, by, lully, lullay.
O sisters too, how may we do,
For to preserve this day.
This poor youngling for whom we sing
By, by, lully, lullay.
Herod the king, in his raging,
Charged he hath this day.
His men of might, in his own sight,
All young children to slay.
That woe is me, poor Child for Thee!
And ever morn and day,
For thy parting neither say nor sing,
By, by, lully, lullay.
By, by, lully, lullay.
By, by, lully, lullay.

Suspend (eclectica mix)
05:32
|
|||
|
Trapped in time
At the edge of reality
If I could stand
And look it in the eyes
And change back
To the way things were
Take everything away
So I am not suspended
Suspended above my life
Hovering around my fears
Feelings change
You've changed too
And I can't speak
And I can't know
And I'm not alone
And I fall
And I am far
And I am fear
And my tears flood
And I fall
And I can't see
And I can't leave
And I'm far beyond
And I fall
And I am near
And I am real
And my heart longs
And I am

ignorant human's grave in the domain of dreams
sleepy wandering fantasies in the air
captured addicted spirit in the world of the dead
cease to exist, body without a soul, senseless stare
when time cascades into the dawn
when life clings to the weary frame
when binding disbelief takes hold
when i dissolve into the rain
who can come and go
gazing at the stars in the sky
journey's difficult for some
the passage into the next world comes
where angels fly into the dawn
bound by chains restrained to walls
where devils claw in the night
tortured souls igniting flaming fall
when time cascades into the dawn
when life clings to the weary frame
when binding disbelief takes hold
when i dissolve into the rain

Et secundum multitudinem
Miserationum tuarum
Dele iniquitatem meam

the beautiful have come
to take me away
a deep dark grave
awaits it's day
the coldness of the flowers
is my only warmth
for the cold is the darkness
that is left all alone
cold eyes gaze
upon the cold stone
tear filled eyes
as she mourns all alone
the beautiful have come
and taken me away
the deep dark grave
has seen its day
the flowers have died
the people gone home
I'm left cold in the darkness
left cold and all alone

Waiting for my own fault
I doubt the long road
There's a place I must go to
Won't I wander alone
Into the trail of the wind
Across a foreign soil
Tired and colder
I long to return
I'm not my own self
A new life
She treads behind me
A white dream
Running from the shadows
Running home
They're fast behind me
A breath each night
Where are you now
A long continent to go
A vision of forests
I speak the words…of wisdom
