They tell me not to cross the line That someday there'll be plenty of time To speak of things that others deem too deep Too deep… But life is only getting shorter The world is crying, the news is torture The time has come to pull apart the story By the seams… So take a thread and make it rip Pry the lock until it clicks and opens… and opens… Don't hang yourself upon the news Only relating part of the truth and the truth they omit is the deepest degree The truth that tells us the power is WE the power is WE… Measure it down and then across Measure the truth before it is lost The laws are leaning, with no questions why and the rules slide to suit the tie the rules slide to suit the tie… They tell me not to cross the line Cause someday there'll be plenty of time To speak of things that others deem too deep Too deep… But life is only getting shorter The world is crying, the news is torture The time has come to pull apart the story By the seams… So take a thread and make it rip Pry the lock until it clicks and opens Pry the lock… Until it opens...

I made a mistake - it got in my way it said much more - than I wanted to say but now I'm free... Now I'm free - free to be more than just a small shade of me... Now I'm free... And I'm feeling that the ceiling is coming down to meet the ground the squeeze is on from our voices, rare a sound When we all step forward and freely lend our hand we'll restore the spirit of this Broken Promised Land... Slow goes the meaning - the meaning of feeling the feeling of pressure - of pressure relieving re-living the passion - the passion of play the play on the stage - in this stage of our days. Flipping the mirror - onto its side so I can extract - what it's trying to hide Turning the tables - on those that have dined on our sleeping brains - the darkness of mind Hour days in the numbness - the numbness of pain Pain without meaning - means without gain. Gain a small sample - a simple rephrase of the sentence we're serving - for the grass that we graze And I'm feeling that the ceiling is coming down to meet the ground the squeeze is on from our voices, rare a sound When we all step forward and freely lend our hand we'll restore the spirit of this Broken Promised Land...

Locked in a Dream they transferred me home now you and the children won't be all alone But then I woke up to a frenzy of fire the Sound all around me of a Death Angel choir and as I am shaken back onto this sand I see no good reason to police this land I'm guarding the poppies that put us to sleep where I dream of Home and your kisses so sweet Send Me Back Home Touched base at the Base there's a letter from you with pictures of life tucked in there too But then I woke up to a frenzy of fire the Sound all around me of a Death Angel choir and as I am shaken back onto this sand I see no good reason to police this land Hung by the news that puts us to sleep where I dream of Home and your kisses so sweet Send Me Back Home I'm there with you sleeping I call out your name You smile when you hear it then you're sleeping again But then I wake up in a frenzy of fire the Song all around me of a Death Angel choir and as I am shaking back onto this sand I see no good reason to be killed in this land I'm taking the pill that puts me to sleep where I dream of Home and your kisses so sweet Send Me Back Home

All was clear Until a rock got thrown So many ripples From a tiny stone... Now the pool's a cloud No reflection shown So many ripples From a tiny stone... Swimming in seizures Between complete and alone I tried to come back But the distance has grown Now we each sit On our separate thrones So many ripples From a tiny stone... I saw the surface seize up and sea The space that had grown Between you and me Now the time is tender The wound is raw While we search for the sun So the heart can thaw... But the heart of it all Lies in the truth How can we heal While casting a curse? Deaf grows the meadow And a tree stands alone So many ripples From a tiny stone... All was clear Until a rock got thrown So many ripples From a tiny stone...

Let me tell you Something New I can feel it, coming through the ages Will we remember what we were The brain alive with the power of nature The magic's back to speak again It's waking up the sleeping friend within us Come out to play, the day is dark It's easier to see our spark shining Do you recall what's comin' round the corner I rose to thorn, but it dissolved the border And now the flood is loose and in my blood There's no turning back now, just moving forward. Let me know what's in your mind Are you in the loop or drivin' blind a U-turn Can you signal me with smoke or fire Before the wind puts out desire for living Past the force, all drawn inside Unlocking knots that have been tied around us Share your mind, your muse with me So we can let our feelings free they're drowning Do you recall what's comin' round the corner I rose to thorn, but it dissolved the border And now the flood is loose and in my blood There's no turning back now, just moving forward.

SPHERE 03:13
What once was lost is one day found A kind of magic in the sound That strikes the Earth in Sacred Chord Beside the beast a lion roar I see you walkin' down the lane You take me from a picture frame Into a form I've known before A taste of sky on ocean floor It all becomes so clear here A lovely crystal picture sphere With colors dancing all around I know I'm feelin' different sound I see you walkin' in the rain You take me from a picture frame Into a form I've known before A taste of sky on ocean floor Overthrown, the sight that's shown Curtains drawn on oily thrones Through the movement; changing stages Unfold the second; turning pages I see you walkin' down the lane You take me from a picture frame Into a form I've known before A taste of sky on ocean floor

telling a spell to cast itself upon unconscious and work its way - to central command ambush the station - in this programmed land follow the frequency - down to the fuse light up the midnight - aurora of hues blossom in darkness the deep deep darkness unfolding fasteners loosening seals scrambling signals cutting new deals bring back the circle of local trade bring back the balance tip up the scales smash into atoms at the speed of sound electric intention electric ground small sacred steps dance distant days sidereal actors step onto the stage Here we are - the time is now The spell is cast - into your crown Standing pat on sacred ground Stacked in silence, a hidden sound Encoded in the FREEquency Activate the FREEquency blossom in darkness the deep deep darkness

Recycle Me 03:33
I have climbed the highest ocean I have felt the passing breeze Blown away by shifting patterns Blown away from current seas Now the float is on the feeling See the wheel turn under trees Recycle me with memory Re-create me... Living free ...Living free ...Living free Feel the tapestry unweaving Feel the frenzy seize the spike Overthrown the muse of meaning In genesis of this black midnight Let it all go into nothing Let it all grow back again Echo falls into the canyon But no ear can hear, my friend ...So send ...So send ...So send Resonant messages I live to heed the call... We live to heed the call... I have climbed the highest ocean I have felt the passing breeze Blown away by shifting patterns Blown away from current seas Now the float is on the feeling See the wheel turn under trees Recycle me with memory Re-create me... Living free

I see the Eagle flying high Breathing deep while the world sighs Keeps calling us to listen To the voices in the wind It's the inner alchemy that's telling me that it's time to fly It's the inner alchemy that's showing me our wings remember the way back home …. the way back home … I see the Eagle soar through the daze that clogs up our meaning with what everyone says So let go… and listen… To the voices in the wind To the voices in the wind

Blue skies and a rainy day It don't matter what the weathermen say The wind is gonna blow.... The wind's gonna blow... Scotch tape and an empty glass I left my heart at the top of the pass It's all downhill... It's all downhill... Winter's crying 'cause spring has come Melting ice and dripping love Heaven's laughing tears above and it starts the Hearts a beating Drivin' fast 'cause my mind's too slow searching for someplace sacred to go The moon is looking up... The moon is looking up... Spring is sad 'cause Summer's here Warming winds and drying tears Lightin' fires and stealing fears Everything is speaking Got my fill of dangerous thrills Shouldered my load of whiskey and pills I heard my train a comin' I heard my train a comin' Summer's fried 'cause Fall's arrived It's another wave of heat survived The green leaf burns, but it never dies The Earth and Stars are meeting The train whistled; an arrested heart I left my end - at the start Tomorrow wakes up... Tomorrow wakes up... Fall is falling 'cause winter's soon She's a bitter witch on a frozen broom She's chanting a hypnotic tune And soon the land is sleeping Blue skies and a rainy day It don't matter what the weathermen say The wind is gonna blow... The wind is gonna blow...
