(Instrumental)



~THE LUNAR CHATEAU~
(4:59)

As above, so below
A haven for a weary soul
Overlooking the vast vista
With a special grace

Be the dream, so be it
With ambience of candles lit
I doubt that they will ever see
The chateau that's so dear to me

[Chorus]

At ease, I feel the pulse of geologic time
Release, all the memories that keep you behind
Nevermind, here we are at last on our Lunar Chateau
Looking out the window at the cosmic show
As above, so below
As above, so below
Among the splendors of my home
Friends visiting soon
In scarlet robes upon my steps

Then we'll dine and talk
About those ancient astronauts
Of how they mined the Gaian shores
And left their footprints as folklore

[Chorus]

As above, so below
A haven for a weary soul
Overlooking the vast vista
With a special grace

Be the dream, so be it
With ambience of candles lit
I doubt that they will ever see
The chateau that's so dear to me

[Chorus]


~BROTHERS IN BLOOD~
(4:56)

Emotional tides run high
And tensions overflow
As they scale the glassy mountain
Struggling for the fountain

Blood is bathed in magical waters tonight
Blood is bathed in magical waters tonight
Witnesses of this morbid festival
Clothe themselves in the warmth of the spectacle

[Chorus]

One blood brother magician
Is a magical water technician
The other blood brother magician
Is on one hell of a mission

One blood brother magician
Killed his nocturnal visions
The other blood brother magician
Cursed his life with deep incisions

Dreamers of the flood
Took a dark train out of town
Westward for a tortured kingdom
Nosferatu's kingdom

The demon conductor smiled
With eyes of betrayal
Blood was the force with the thirst
That powered the rail

Ominous thunder
Heralded a storm our way
I awoke in the dead of night
Saw a burning train miles away

[Chorus]



~THE EYES OF A CHILD~
(4:16)

All our hopes and dreams tonight
Darkening with evening light
They will surely fade away
If we lie and sleep awake
If we lie and sleep awake

You, with your eyes so bright
You see the world through the eyes of a child
You can trust your senses
Set your spirit running wild
Set your spirit running wild

All the things that I've been through
And all the people I once knew
Where are they now, where can they be?
Perhaps another reality
Perhaps another reality

[Chorus]

I've lived at least a thousand lives
The windswept desert, you and I
There's more to this than eye can see
All the things that I've been through
All the people I once knew
And all the forces involved to create thee
When your love is burning bright
Take the fear, cast it aside
Open treasures from within
That waited so long to begin
That waited so long to begin

You are the hope and key
To the seasons and fortunes in life
There are curses and blessings
The ancient circle of love and strife
The ancient circle of love and strife

[Chorus]

All our hopes and dreams are bright
Rising with this morning's light
They will surely fade away
If we lie and sleep awake
If we lie and sleep awake



~ANCESTORS~
(5:25)

The forest drew her breath
Airborne eagle feathers
Drifted from trees to the ground
Each without a sound
Waited to be found

The whispers in the dream
Revealed the gift downstream
Harvesting by the moon
They heard a lonely loon
Where apple blossoms bloom

[Chorus]

Ancestral eyes are watching
Shadows dancing in fearful flames
Burning everything revered
Absent in conscience, empty of shame
Red blood runs deep into the sand
Ancestors haunt this land

The living and the dead
Built a bridge together
Through the stormy weather
They longed to touch and give
A glimpse of how each other lived

The spirit and the flesh
Were cursed by a crucifix
Though each loved the other
It's weight they could not lift
So both were cast adrift

[Chorus]



~TRANSFORMER~
(3:43)

Just a moment ago
Awoke an emotion
Staring me in the eyes
Celestial faces in the skies
Gracing the spaces
Transforming all our lives

With peace and wonder and awe
Flowing free like running water
Overwhelmed by what I saw
But you were holding my hand
Holding my hand

[Chorus]

Part of change is persistence
Part of change is resistance
Be prepared for sacrifices
And be willing to go the distance
To transform existence

Love is true and struggles to survive
All the impediments of the "I"
Words are only shadows of what we feel
Gracing the spaces
Transforming all our lives

Once cast down by rage
Now questing by the light - a sage
The course is redeemed and true
When you and I can understand
Understand

[Chorus]

Changes come and they will take you
Changes come and they might break you
Looking back, some days enlighten
Looking back, some night we wander
And transform existence


~CONSEQUENCES~
(6:27)

Darkness sets upon this land
Tonight the shadows weep
Their somber tones tell tortured tales
Of mother earth and streets
And all those streets lead to dark consequences

Suffering sophistication
Spiritual desolation
Empires will rise and fall
They rise and fall to them
And all those streets lead to dark consequences

Voices whispered thoughts of dread
No one spoke but all was said
Vultures sculptured skies of fear
On their wings the night soared near

Dark and ancient city's glare
Cold steel pavements wet and bare
Misty lights in empty streets
Oblivion here all completes



~ON YOUR WAY~
(6:20)

Shadows rest in the silence
The evening dreams of peace
Wisdom is calling at the door
Telling you to leave

On a path of courage
Strength is at your command
To ring the bells within our clay
We must go, rejoice in the beauty of the way

Raindrops of days fall into streams of weeks
Streams of weeks move out to rivers of months
Rivers of months pour into oceans of years
Oceans of years hold salty tears of our regrets
Only a path with a heart
Can keep your spirit strong
Alive with light, shining on
Through the dark forest
You are on your way

The blessing from the distant stars
Is knowing who you are
Sometimes it takes so long
To reach and touch how you feel
Because this volcanic life is built to conceal
Sooner or later you'll find out just what is real

Our Mother, nature
Our Father, time
Do we feel their eternity?
Do we feel them holding us tenderly?
Whispering:
Only a path with a heart
Can keep your spirit strong
Alive with light, shining on
Through the dark forest
You are on your way

Raindrops of days fall into streams of weeks
Streams of weeks move out to rivers of months
Rivers of months pour into oceans of years
Oceans of years hold salty tears of our regrets



~TO BE ALIVE~
 
(4:06)

Sunlight on a golden key
Sparkling from the bottom of the sea
Take a ship out, dive and retrieve
Your treasure by birthright
Sacred and missing

[Chorus]

It feels so good to be alive
Aware of all those precious little things
It feels so good to be alive
In the beauty that the moment brings
In time we will remember
The wisdom in the old river's song
We'll weave a warm and loving nest
From the straws and twigs of tenderness

[Chorus]

Daybreak, the light's shining through
With all of creation burning true
From the bricks today we can build tomorrow
An artwork of clay from our deepest sorrow

[Chorus]


~METROPOLIS~
(3:49)
(Instrumental)



~FEARLESS~
(2:45)
(Drum Solo)



~AURORA BOREALIS~
(8:15)

I can divine from this storm
These severe warnings
Oh, Supreme One

It goes so far back
Looking at you I understand
These forking roads that I am

I move in certain
Ambiguous ways
Ahead or behind, to never find

Delicate but strained
Soothing, uneven
Stumbling as I sit among the steps

Wind, rain and thunder
Teach me what they cannot
I will listen

Tonight, I'm here - awake
Tonight, I'm here - awake
Tonight, I'm here - awake
