The Landing


No One

how could we believe
they would deceive us
in the end?

we can't ignore
we've gotten more
from lesser men

what have you done?
you were the only one!
who among us now will see it through?

make no mistake
it's gonna make
its way to you

your heart is true
still there's a few
things you must do

take time to care
for the ones you hear
reminding you of what you used to say

follow the truth
discovered in your youth
it's the only reason you are here today

i saw them fall!
i watched them all
cower from the light

the door appeared
they froze in fear
bowing out of man's eternal plight

there will not come a change of tides
'til someone living makes it to the other side

how many men
will do again
what they regret?

is there not one
under the sun
who won't forget?

to follow the truth
discovered in your youth
it's the only reason you are here today

i saw them fall!
i watched them all
cower from the light

the door appeared
they froze in fear
bowing out of man's eternal plight


Icaro

never the water tries to flow
ever to meet you in the sky
the truth is plain
as falling rain
as any river running dry

i feel you warm me in a dream
i can't recall when i awake

with the yearning of the phoenix taking flight
i approach the morning light

i step where i can't see, come
shine down on me!
melodies invoking thee
along the way i sing
i wander to meet you there, come
shine down on me! and

when my day is through
i will shine on you!

aiming to fly away i turned
my attention to the sky
i heard the sound
of falling down
now i hold onto the ground

with a face you haven't touched in far too long
i approach you in the dawn

i step where i can't see, come
shine down on me!
melodies invoking thee
along the way i sing
i wander to meet you there, come
shine down on me! and

when my day is through
i will shine on you...

...on you
i'll shine on you
will shine on me
i'll shine on you will shine on me i'll shine on you

i'll shine on you
will shine on me
i'll shine on you will shine on me i'll shine on you


This Song

so many things
i would love to say
will always come out wrong
i can only reveal them in a song

there is a fire
spreading all around
where i try to take care
i've got the feeling i must get out of here

before i should go,
i'd like you to know

my life was touched by
the sweetest melody
and it was one you taught to me

i'll see you again
where all journeys end

'til then you'll hear me
singing from afar
as i wander to the stars

on their tongues i will travel
reaching out as far as ears can hear
if you should need me, believe me
when you hear this song
i am right there

every soul
plays a melody
like the song in the wind
how can i help you to understand, my friend?

it's of you i sing
if there's only one thing

that you remember
about me when i'm gone
well, let it be this song

that you remember
about me when i'm gone
well, let it be this song

the words i say are true
i learned this song from you


Contact

heed the signs
and you will only find
we are crawling through your mind

have no fear
of what we're doing here
our intent will soon be clear

we have no miracle to bring
only this melody we sing

there is a movement in the sky
above the clouds, beyond our eyes
aquarius is on the rise
we're getting high

higher and higher and higher
until it blows our minds!

where, you ask
where are we coming from?
and are we the only ones?

we come from near, we come from far
following every shooting star

there is a movement in the sky
above the clouds, beyond our eyes
aquarius is on the rise
and still we don't peak

dazzle the colors
of my dead brothers
gripping their fingers 'round my spine

waves on the ocean
planets in motion
twin serpents growing like a vine

we are a light you cannot bear
we are a voice you cannot hear

there is a movement in the sky
above the clouds, beyond our eyes
aquarius is on the rise
and we can't come down


Seattle Rain

trail-taker, night owl
he travels alone over our roads
on borrowed clouds

on stars traded
for a sunrise
often not welcome

the dust blends well with his stains
coats and clings to some years
and slides off the rest

notes from hollowed wood
sound better when it rains

water thickens the travel
making both thinking and
journeys slower

cleaning up this whole damn mess
starting it over again

notes from hollowed wood
sound better when it rains
