De Terra Fons Exoritur:
'A column of smoke
And a pillar of fire'
A column of smoke and a pillar of fire
Distraught souls celebrating their death
You look upon the face of night
As though it were an evil sight
And struggle on towards the light
Though darkness is the truer way
And never really goes away
But hides behind the mask of day
The shadows of your soul
Are crying out to you
Though you never hear their call
Afraid of being free
Your fearful spirit tears
Like a parting of the sea
And all the waters of the flood
Could not quench my thirst
For there'll be no revelation,
No judgement, no rebirth
The only thing I understood
As prophets clamoured
From a crumbling church:
'The rocks shall fall from the mountains
And a fountain shall spring from the earth'
Sacred, sacred, bellow louder
Volume rising, seeking power
Strike down fear, release the beast
Upon whose table we shall feast
A column of smoke and a pillar of fire
Hear the holy choral choir
A column of smoke and a pillar of fire
Seize those agonizing criers
Freed upon these desert plains
We, who celebrate all days
Join us in our journey's plight
Out upon eternal night
(Lyrics: K. Arnold/P. Nemeth)

Chains:
I could have wrapped your soul in chains
Started a fire and watched you dancing in the flames
I wanted to wrap your soul in chains
Forever a prisoner caught between the joy and pain
You could have wrapped my soul in chains
Started a fire and watched me dancing in the flames
You wanted to wrap my soul in chains
Forever a prisoner caught between the joy and pain
(Lyrics: K. Arnold)

Page of Wands:
All that I am is a seeker of truth
The curious child who got lost in the woods
The servant of wisdom you take for a fool
The whispering trees hold the knowledge of all
All that I am is a seeker of truth
The sailor who followed his siren's call
The servant of wisdom you take for a fool
The murmuring waves hold the knowledge of all
All that I am is a seeker of truth
The eagle who flies over mountains and hills
The servant of wisdom you take for a fool
The wandering clouds hold the knowledge of all

Pass Within:
Time has fallen
Precious moments
Secrets stolen
Sacred Seven
Pass within
Into your heart
Silent sing
Sing from your soul

Promise of Sacrifice:
You came out of the creeping dawn
When summer's flower was winter's thorn
Daemons on the frozen air
Ran fiery fingers through your hair
The sun and the moon rested in your eyes
And your voice a torrent of fractured sighs
Healing my memory
Sealing my fate
Your wisdom was a morphic thing
Where truth would fly on fragile wings
Like a king upon his knees
Your arms the branches of the trees
A silent place inside a storm
A temple with its curtain torn
A journey to a distant shore
Your face became an open door
The sun and the moon rested in your eyes
On your lips the promise of sacrifice
(Lyrics: K. Arnold)

Icarus:
As the sun
With shining wings
Rises on
The last day of winter
He can see
The shape of things
Golden paths
Lead him to the centre
For this is the healing tide
That burns him up inside
And with laughter's song
Calling down
To deep wells of silence
Round his head
The angels throng
Holding on forever
To one ecstatic moment
For this is the healing tide...
He sheds his mask
And crashes to the ground
His singing blood
The sea in which he drowns
His raging heart
The ship on which he sailed
His falled pride
Lies wrecked beneath the waves
A wreck beneath the waves
(Lyrics: K. Arnold)

Butterfly Kiss:
Take my hand
Let your fingers slip through mine
Like grains of sand
We are both children of this world
Naked and ephemeral
Just like a butterfly kiss
And I wished that I had never seen the stars
And never felt the sun
And realised that one day, some day,
All this will be gone
Take my love
I can feed it you in pieces
Or all at once
But don't rely on love eternal
Don't assume our soul's immortal
I don't want to spend my life
Just searching for the One
We are both children of this world
Naked and ephemeral
Just like the butterfly kiss
With which you woke me in the morning
And in the morning
All this will be gone
All this will be gone
(Lyrics: K. Arnold)

Inside the Circle:
Inside the circle she's standing
And waiting for a sign
Sent in a vision to free her mind
Around her the four winds
Are howling to celebrate the tears
Of a spirit tormented for ten thousand years
And she turned into stone
As she stood there alone
And her energy's borne
On the wings of the storm
Inside the circle...
And the prophecy lied
For her future's denied
But the world goes on turning
While the circle is burning
Inside the circle...
(Lyrics: K. Arnold)

Parisina:
It is the hour
When from the boughs
The nightingale's high note is heard
And gentle wings
And voices near
Make music to
The lonely ear
Each flower's the dews have lightly wet
And in the sky the stars met
And on the wave is deeper blue
And on the leaf a browner hue
And in the heavens that clear obscure
So softly dark and darkly pure
That follows the decline of day
As twilight melts beneath the moon away
Beneath the moon away
(Lyrics: Lord Byron)

A Ship, Dreaming
As she leaves her soul aflame
She whispers farewell to her name
The past a blank, the present clear
The future a final frontier
She rises on the wing
The angel in her starts to sing
Visions from a distant dream
Reflected in the darkened stream
As descent reveals the land
She sees her soul within the sand
The empty desert's silent lure
A space so clean and quiet and pure
She bows unto the silent crew
And steps upon the land, anew
Her mind, her past she leaves behind
And walks into the unknown, blind...
Her feet they burn upon the land
'Call me sky, sun, sand'
Haunted watchers on the wing
Tortured by the sound their newborn sing
She looks above and laughs, and cries
I will not lose, I will not die
The greatest challenge I await
To be reborn illuminate
(Lyrics: C. Jago)

Marie Celeste.
He climbed onto the ship, to die on the sea
To cast himself adrift, to find truer peace
He heard the bugle blow, he watched the land recede
The sunset's aching glow
He left the sky to bleed
And as he went below, he thought he heard
Alongside the bell, a whispered word
He dreamt of finding warm elixir of release
As the moon shone on the sails
The servant boy grew ever pale
'Eight days awake and all I see, white tongues of sirens calling me'
The table set, the glasses clean
We drink to sail, we drink to dream
As they fainted one by one
The sails were blinded by the sun

Angel Tears.
In silence I dream
Aroused were the memories of yesteryear
Where summers ardent kiss of love
Twined hand in hand with winters loss.
Awakening from slumber
The candle still flickers it's living flame
A shrine to love as embers
Died in me so long ago
Therein chimes the hour of darkness
Haziness cedes, a wraith before me appears
Of iconic grandeur
Twixt his fingertips he holds
A gift for me, a burgeon rose
Dying flower, withered with sorrow
In the wisdom of his tears
I foresee a mirror to my soul
My waning heart, an ebon rose
Paling in the shadow of Luna
Whereupon her face I behold
The divine revelation of sorrow
For there belies a lonely fountain in ruins
Where the spring of sadness trickles forth unending...

Each Hour.
Ride the flame that burns between you
Thrive on the faith that feeds you
Use the pain to feel and free you
try to speak the world will see you
Lose all the blind ties
Come from the dark and raise your eyes
For fear must fade before we rise
To fly and free the truth inside
Use your eyes to break the lies that bind us
Believe the ones we need will one day find us
The chances, dreams and life fate brings remind us
Each hour can cure or confine us

Oceanus.
Come with me, to the darkened water
Come with me, swim the ocean of dreams
Close your eyes to the whispering tides
These waters forever witness our rites
You, give me purity in a world of despondance
You gave me serenity when I had none
Forever does not seem long enough to love you
But forever is eternity with you to adore
Oceanus, the sweet taste of memories upon your shores
Oceanus, where we lay christened by the stars

Buried Dreams.
Watch these words enchant me
Allude to a further reality
Removed from what I can see
But I must stay on stable feet
Remain in corporeality
Not disappear inside a dream
The will, the way
To transcend the day
When night's life becomes the death of day
The time has come to break away
Be watchful when you sleep
Don't hide in a dream
There's always more to life than there might seem...

Huair a eireas a ghrian air cearcall nan speur
Tha maduinn bhreagh air a breiith
Chi mi dealt a soillseachadh duileagan nan rosan
Solus na grein air na clachan bho chian
Eioin na cabhanaich ri seinn dhomh an oran eala
Fonnis milse chluichear a riamh rim chluais
Craobhan beltein ag aomadh gu socair san tla-ghaoth chubhraidh
Bho sgail a blath sgothan caidilidh mi gu siorruith
Na gul air mo shonsa na biodh do chridhe bho dheoir
Tha mi nis mar aon ris an talamh oigheil s lom
far ann a failas a bhan dhe ni mi dannsa
Air dian ghaothan, air iteag, ag iaradh dhachaidh

The Last Goodbye.
Tell me when the feeling died
All the different times we tried
In fire of passion we burnt our bridges
Consumed conflicting final wishes
Kiss away the tears we cried
The courage of our last goodbye...

Remembrance.
I of everyears
Recall the fallen footsteps
Of those reaching for the stars
Whether he recalled the blazing sun
Wherefore does he hold the sky's falling tears
For when it rains
He's standing here with me
Our bare feet upon the ground
Springs now turned to dust
No longer green dried out naked trees
The parched earth waits to bud

Inside
I stole some angel's wings to make you fly
I drank all your tears to make you smile
And I drank all the rain of your sky
Since deep inside your love made me the strongest
I came from the light without fear
To your black kingdom
You and your darkness
You and your sadness
You and your madness
You and your devil
Let you take me to my heaven
You and your devil
I'll keep you safe and insane
I have the power
To eat your anguish and your pain
Now and forever
There's nothing that can stop me
Deep inside me
Your love made me the strongest
I can protect your devil from my god
Or I can make them be one
Like you and me...

Requiem
I've just seen my body next to yours
I don't want to realise
That I'm reaching the sky
That they gave me the wings to fly
Ne laisses pas les anges m'emporter
Ne laisses pas les anges nous separer
C'est dans tes bras que je veux m'endormir
Dans tes bras, mon dernier sourir
Dans tes bras, mon dernier desir
Retiens moi ne me laisses pas partir
I can fly but I don't want without you...

Firedance
I was my own pain
I was feeding this pain
I was an eternal victim eternally guilty
But once I stopped thinking and realised that life is not for eternity
And the idea made me smile
And now I keep this smile
Now it feels like I can fly
Now it feels like I'll never die
I'm dancing in the fire because it burns the pain
Because it melts my heart and burns gently my skin
I'm dancing in the fire until it dries my tears
I'm dancing in the fire until it burns my fear
I've never noticed the blue of the sky, the taste of the sun
It tastes so sweet on my lips
When fighting becomes dancing
When crying becomes laughing
Et j'attends que le feu me consume
Buite toutes les coutumes
Que les flames sechent mes larmes
Et buite mes etats-d'ame
[lyrics: A. Ferrari, music: C.Jago]

Your Sleep
Awake from the deep I reach for the sea
Feel the heat take a hold, through the body hides the soul
Each thought of her will torture me
I must remain cold...
The fear won't unfold
Does the depth of my need
Penetrate your sleep
Awake from your sleep to reach for the dream
No longer to come unto me
In that breath of defeat I found my own peace
Our heaven brought hell
No water in this well...

The Sun, The Sea
The sun, the sea, the life in me that rises with the flood
Within these sparks I raise my heart and flow into the blood
Deep within the swell of fear
I watch it quelled when I am here
As I wash away the winter to let life take hold
The dream of the future
Return to the soul

Paralysis
Need no drug to dull no pain
To prise the lock that keeps me sane
The maelstrom of my rising brain
Quiets me time and time again...
No feeling or compassion left
So tested by the past
Is it that to feel's a fight
'Some are born to endless night'
How can one so few of fears
Still contain so many tears
On the verge of all I've dreamt
And if it all ends unredeemed...

Transformation
Je sais que je ne pouvais changer
Le cours des choses jamais je sais
Le cours du temps des saisons je sais
When the seasons change
Life is born again
The flower of your heart unfolds
The dreaming comes to an end
The long shadows of a winter's day
Leave behind that solemn smile
Approach the sun, the wind, the rain
Summer's on its way again
Sparkling jewels, the source of life
Prepare the way, prepare the way
For the coming of the sun, the shining one
To save us from self-made pain
The sun was lost from view forever...
Waken from timeless time
Savour the glory of summer wine
For the spell is broken
And the door is open
Sing the song of Aaron
Come to me my darling
Spring has come again...

B. C.
And the man creates God
And the man creates Satan and the guilt
They fear his hell
But I fear their heaven
You believe in what you fear, you fear the one you believe in
I believe in what I need, what I need is being free
From your blind church, for the love of your god
Burn your blind church, burn your blind church
Sacred knowledge lost forever, civilizations wasted
Your hell is the one you built
Your hell is your fake heaven
I would fight with any god
I would fight with any devil
Who would steal the freedom of my soul
Who'd steal the dignity of my heart
The more I pray, the more I make mistakes
We all come from the same place
We all come from some kind of heaven
From between my mother's legs there's no priest, no master
We all come from the same place
We all come from some kind of hell
But from between our mother's legs
There's no god, no devil...

Swansong
Feel too little, think too much
The only thing that moves is touch
Alone I rape the ghost of love
The fire I drink from never enough
I fall into my shadow again
Fate predetermined by my pain
I melt...tears run like rain
The ice has frozen again
And in the bitter end the void was never filled
The visions merely emptiness and sentience slowly killed
But still I continued on the weakest quest
Submerged in blind pleasure I failed every test
The ice has frozen again
The ice is all that remains...

The Search
I know I cannot cease to dream
Words never mean just what they seem
Weaving in and out of time
Seeking endlessly the sign
Two steps forward, two steps back
Dancing on the beaten track
Yet to fall into the ground
With real pain I'd come around
Till then I'll look inside to see
How can I touch outside of me
For everyone that reads this mind
Too many close are left behind
In places where you never slept
Doors close on things you won't forget
No pain for tears never wept
I am the girl you'll never get...
Paralysed by hidden fear
You'll scratch your dread across my back
Hope to lose your conscience here
On my body try to trace connection with your own
Intensity of intimacy after so much time alone
Drown in flesh
Hope to find home...
[lyrics and music: C. Jago]

The Reflection
A mirror sleeps and fills its pages with memories of wistful past
With hope and fear and dust of age
Shattered dreams and silent glass
A vision shroud in fatal beauty
Hallucinate horror image fracture
An ice face no doubt won't see
Time will poison your enrapture
A blank: doubt: no vision
The light's reflection pale incision
The murdered ego starts to fall
Until there's nothing left at all...
