Ticking tower tall Counting the cracks in the wall The whole world seems so small Searching for signs of the next life Spin the crystal ball No memory to recall We walk before we crawl Fumble with me to the next life I’ve been running in place for ages I’ve been tryin’ on different faces I’ve been holding the door for outer spaces Oh Searching for signs of the next life Spin the mirror ball Endless reflection of all The velvet curtain calls Calling us back to the next life I’ve been playing the part in stages I’ve been moving through different phases I’ve been living my life in distant places Oh In some sacred realm Outside the wishing well Hidden tales do tell Unmake your mind ’Til it’s safe inside Unbreak the spell Untell the time Distill the trembling stars into wine Unmake your mind ’Til it’s safe inside Distill the trembling stars into wine

Rising Tide 04:10
Fate Won’t hesitate to rearrange And complicate what life creates The more you give, the more it takes So make your choice, make no mistake When the stars that guide you Fall to the sea inside you Hang from the edge of dizzy heights Where the longest hour climbs May all your darkest days be bright When you sail the rising tide Wait It’s not too late to reawake Another time another place The cells divide and relocate No more do they define you Hang from the edge of dizzy heights Where the longest hour climbs May all your darkest days be bright May you sail the rising tide

Back around the upside-down we go The more you take away the less you know What lies beyond us Underneath the black rainbow Where’s the finish line for those who run To catch the shrinking shadow of the sun Beyond the senseless Ends the only just begun Break away from the faith of tragedy You’ll never be the same Burn the bridge back to how it used to be We’ll never be the same Blend among the shallow and the numb Afraid of who and what you will become Deny the old world Face the new and overcome Break away from the faith of tragedy You’ll never be the same Burn the bridge back to how it used to be We’ll never be the same

Shapeshifter 04:29
Shape shifter Alien drifter Come away with me Runnin’ scared so unprepared Get lost among the trees Shadowin’ and spiral incandescent silver sting No one knows the way it goes What news the new dawn brings us Oh See what you believe Hey you get up off your knees Oh It’s gonna hit from out of nowhere Hang on It’s gonna hurt but don’t let go Something more Is gonna happen ‘round the corner Where everything is unknown Shape shifting Alien drifting Phosphorescent form Here and there still unaware Tomorrow never born Time lapsing and collapsing The past escapes no more Fading fair in disrepair Forever holds a trap door Oh What is it you see Ooh hidden in the trees Oh It’s gonna hit from out of nowhere Hang on It’s gonna hurt but don’t let go Something more Is gonna happen ‘round the corner Where everything is unknown Whatever the damage done Whichever the way you run Whatever you’re hiding from Whatever the damage done Whichever the way you run Whatever you’re hiding from Whenever the sirens call Wherever the shadows fall It’s nothing at all Whatever the damage done Whichever the way you run Whatever you’re hiding from Whenever the sirens call Wherever the shadows fall It’s nothing at all Whenever the sirens call Wherever the shadows fall It’s nothing at all

Wake up to the Saturn sunrise Step into to the Saturn sunrise Come out young spirit Open your door Cry out your intention Stay still no more Wake up to the Saturn sunrise Step into to the Saturn sunrise Bold is your vision’s Hypnotic gaze Sparks the ignition Dawns the new age Wake up to the Saturn sunrise Step into the Saturn sunrise From the garden of ether to evermore Beneath the clandestine secrets of no return Lives the glorious being Here and now Wake up to the Saturn sunrise Wake up to the Saturn sunrise Step into the Saturn sunlight

Beyond the deep Where drowning dreamers sleep The ocean seeks The ocean seeks Await tomorrow’s end A sacrifice to innocence Raising the dead Beyond the dream The faceless phantom speaks In no meaning In no meaning Await tomorrow’s end A sacrifice to innocence Raising the dead Crack the hour glass And chase another shadow cast Raising the dead

Sunshadow 04:31
I came round to the sound Of a voice that cracked like frost on the ground Told me not to worry now That the worst is through Blurry scenes, fever dreams There’s a message in the mist But it won’t read The ghost that went unseen Looked a lot like you And nobody knows Where the sunshadow goes And nobody knows What it follows Parasomnia Got us unwound Parasomnia Embers of Faded gold Buried down underground There’s treasure that disappears when it gets found It goes up into the clouds Leaving dust and smoke Chasing trails, vapour veils We all hail the somnambulist AWOL Well it’s nothing like it seems And a lot like me And nobody knows When the sunshadow glows And nobody knows When it burns low Parasomnia Got us slowed down Parasomnia Embers of Faded gold Nobody knows Why the sunshadow grows And nobody knows How it blossoms Parasomnia Takes us over Parasomnia Shadows all

I never knew Of the damage done to you Now the past won’t undo So turn around or see it through If scars could fade away We might go back again some day We’ll become come what may Don’t be afraid always Always In too far to walk away There’s a time to face the facts or make a change If we go against the odds The odds don’t wait They just spin us ‘round and ‘round a world so strange Am I the same as who you wanted me to be Once a part of your plan, but now you stand apart from me The ghosts that fade away May yet come back to haunt someday So let go of your chains Don’t take the blame always In too far to walk away There’s a time to face the facts or make a change If we go against the odds The odds don’t wait They just spin us ‘round and ‘round a world so strange Unfamiliar satellites that streak the dark Roaming on to there and gone they pass along Once we were a lot like them and wandered off Flew too high but never reached the sun Now we’re in too far to walk away There’s a time to face the facts or make a change If we go against the odds The odds don’t wait They just spin us ‘round and ‘round a world so strange

Up from the ashes Out of the smoke Empty and full Release Us Tether untether Here to no more Wandering souls Release us Life reimagined Destined unknowns Kick down the door Release us I spent the night in the slipstream Free from the weight of the dream But nobody’s sure once inside what the message means One paradigm to another Trade paradise for peril But nobody’s sure when the time is right until Up from the ashes Out of the smoke Empty to full Release Us Tether untether Here to no more Wandering souls Release us Life reimagined Destined unknowns Kick down the door Release us I took the road to recover Tied to the chain of the world But nobody’s pure of the heart ’til the mind is unfurled Up from the ashes Out of the smoke Empty and full Release Us Tether untether Here to no more Wandering souls Release us Life reimagined Destined unknowns Kick down the door Release us

Hideaway 06:01
Walk me down the undertow Follow me where all tomorrows breathe and move In the hidden rooms Further from the fear turned folly Dreamless nights and melancholy days we knew In the hideaway Oh ahh Walls won’t keep the rain from fallin’ in Again and again, my friend Put your trust in something Better than being afraid of nothing Locks won’t keep the dark from getting in Again and again, my friend Put your arms around it Better than being afraid of it Drifting down the undertow City streets are symphonies, they swell and swoon Let them sing to you In the language of the lonely Bittersweet becomes the only point of view In the hideaway Oh ahh Walls won’t keep the rain from fallin’ in Again and again, my friend Put your trust in something Better than being afraid of nothing Locks won’t keep the dark from getting in Again and again, my friend Put your arms around it Better than being afraid of it
