The Tea Party - Splendor Solis
1. The River
Sailing down, down the styx again
Without you my love
I want to return but then
I see all my friends
They want me to join but then
They all melt away
Without you alone
And the river's running through my veins
Lately she don't seem the same
And the blood keeps calling out my name
I pass by their sins
Left by a different man
The tides brought them here
Cast by a different hand
And the wisps of the winds
Blow with the styx again
Pushing me on without you alone
And the river's running through my veins
Lately she don't seem the same
And the light keeps calling out my name
And the river running down (x3)
And the river
My will must be strong
To rise with a different life
My will must belong
I'm still pushing for different heights
And the wisps of the winds
Blow with the styx again
The river runs red
And i'm left alone
And the river's running thru my veins
Lately she don't seem the same
And the blood keeps calling out my name
And the river's running (yeah)
Help me baby
2. Midsummer Day
When you've decided to hold on
To all that you've lost
When you've decided to hold on
To all that you've lost
All this is nothing
If she comes and tears you apart
All this is nothing if
You hold the key to her heart
If you've decided to change
What you thought was your way
This new way will take you
To her and to midsummer day
All this is nothing if she comes
And tears you apart
All this is nothing if you hold
The key to her heart
And I'm crying in the night
And I'm waiting for her call
Won't you help me girl tonight
'Cause I'm waiting for her call
And I'm crying in the night
And she's flowing from my mind
And the sky is turning black
And I'm running out of time
You'll shed a last tear if you miss
What you thought was your way
This new way will take you
To her and to midsummer day
All this is nothing if she comes
And tears you apart
All this is nothing if you hold
The key to my heart
All you are is in you (x4)
3. A Certain Slant Of Light
As the colors fade away my love
As the darkness turns to day above
Celebrate the one you love
And she says she has a friend inside
Shows her everything she tries to hide
Please stop the pain inside
She don't know
Please stop her pain
I think she's coming down again
I hear the rain
She's coming down again
I hear the rain
And she's dancing with the hands of fate
While she's sleeping with the one she hates
And tonight they celebrate
She don't know
Please stop her pain
I think she's coming down again
I hear the rain
She's coming down again
I hear the rain
And the rain still falls
It's falling down on me
She don't know
Please stop her pain
I think she's coming down again
I hear the rain
She's coming down again
I hear the rain
She's coming down again (x4)
I hear the rain
4. Winter Solstice
Instrumental
5. Save Me
I must leave you tonight my love
Remain so faithfully
I must go off to war my dear
The kings await me
I will go so far away
I will always love you, but you knew
I regret to tell you
Your man has died tonight
He was a brave man
He fought a brave fight
He was killed by the other side
He was killed by the other men's knives
She said save me
Save me
Why must you love this man
He is your brother
This is easy to understand my son
There is no other
I cannot pretend to love this man
Like my father
I cannot pretend mother
There is no other
She said save me
Save me
Save me (x2)
When there is no truth, let's end this lie tonight
This is easy to understand, without your best fight
But I see a new sun rising in the east
But I see a new sun rising in the east
She said save me
Save me
Save me save me save you
6. Sun Going Down
I woke up this morning
Someone was knocking at my door
I woke up this morning
Someone was knocking at my door
And I said hello sweet satan
I believe it's time to go
Thirteenth apostle knocking at my door
Telling me that I can't play with you no more
I guess the wages of sin couldn't buy my meals
Screaming out your name baby how does that feel
Feeling through the out door all throughout the night
Waiting for the doctor to come and make me right
Fading from the bedside I've lost all appeal
To stay with you baby
Baby how does that how does that feel
Sun's going down (x4)
Sing throughout the streets baby
And you sing throughout the night
You go and tell the people
People my soul is aflight
I guess the wages of sin couldn't buy my meals
I'm screaming out your name baby how does that feel
It feels good
Thrteenth apostle always knocking at my door
Telling me that I can't I can't play with you no more
I guess the wages of sin yeah they couldn't buy my meals
I'm screaming out your name girl how does that feel
Sun's going down (x6)
Looked at the heavens above and I said a little prayer
As if the heavens above would even care
Looked at the heavens above and I said a little prayer
As if the heavens above would even care
I said Jesus won't you meet me in the middle of the air
I think my wings have fallen below Jesus I need another pair
Jesus won't you meet me in the middle of the air
I think my wings are falling below I need another pair
St. Peter at the gates of heaven
Baby won't you let me in, let me in
(x3)
I said now Peter
Listen Peter
Come on Peter
Won't you let me in
Right now
Sun's going down
7. In This Time
hey hey lady
looks like i'm under your spell once again
and hey hey lady
there just now ain't no denying these things
i will always be here
always be with you
and i know she's said
let the leaves fall wherever they may
but i find it hard
hard to find people like she is today
i will always be here
always be with you
in this time
when you lay to sleep
tell me the visions you see in the night
when you turn around
what kind of shadow is cast by the light
she will always be here
always be here
i will always be here
i will always be with you
in this time
8. Dreams Of Reason
Oh how the paths change
When the wisdom fades away
Something's going to change these times
And we'll watch them fade away
Never going to get it back
Never going to get it back
And that's what they say
When I've promised to change my ways
And we've all had these days
Oh I can feel her
In the insides of these rooms
Something's going to change these times
And we'll watch them fade away
Never going to get it back
Never going to get it back
And that's what they say
When I've promised to change my ways
And we've all had these days
Baby I really need your love
I've got to have all your love
It's cold outside
I'm trying to hide
I really need your love (x5)
9. Raven Skies
I am walking on
To the place of the light
And the things I see
With the starlight sight
In the dance of the fires
In the flames I see
Under raven skies
She will sleep with me
And I need her now and I need you
Welcome to my garden and what do you see
Welcome to my garden do you still see me?
I am looking through
Through the dance of the trees
I experience
What a shaman sees
I've returned within
I've returned with sight
Under raven skies
I will sleep tonight
And I need her now and I need you
Welcome to my garden and what do you see
Welcome to my garden do you still see me?
And I need her now and I need you
Welcome to my garden and what do you see
Welcome to my garden do you still see me?
(x2)
Do you still see me?
And I need her now (x3)
10. Haze On The Hills
Instrumental
11. The Majestic Song
With a thought
You could change what you've never really known
With a lie
You could take from the love they never showed
Come along
Come along now it's not too far away
And the streams
They are running to an ocean that is dry
And the sands
Of the ocean are the prophets in the eye
Of the sage
Who has chosen to forfeit all he knows
I know
And you know
And you know now that some things never change
In a world
In a world that seems bound by human pain
Come along
Come along now it's not too far away
And beyond
You will see the how the ever changing glow
It surrounds
All the feeling you never thought you'd know
Come along
Come along now it's not too far away
And you know
And you know now that some things never change
In a world
In a world that seems bound by human pain
Come along
Come along now it's not too far away
I know
And the streams
They are running to an ocean that is dry
And the sands
Of the ocean are the prophets in the eye
Of the sage
Who has chosen to forfeit all he knows
I know
And you know
And you know now that some things never change
In a world
In a world that seems bound by human pain
Come along
Come along now it's not too far away
And you know
And you know now that some things never change
In a world
In a world that seems bound by human pain
Come along
Come along now it's not too far away
I know
