Pearls Upon a Crown
i. Antecantamentum
ii. Corona margaritæ
Can you feel a power
That will never, ever, ever go away
Like a fragile flower
That will always bloom no matter what you say
Can you feel the raindrops?
They will fall on you wherever you will go
Lift your face up to them
Let them touch your face just like I used to do
I thought I knew the reason
Did we share so much then have to let it go
Or was it just the season?
Just a summer love which soon began to show
Can you feel the raindrops?
Running down your face like pearls upon a crown
Can you climb the mountain?
Can you climb so high you never will come down?
Come down.
iii. Primae silentio discessum
It’s like a far off scream
An unending dream
A magical evening with no-one else around
We had so much to share
The wind blows through you hair
Then I see you walk away without a sound
It’s like a far off scream
An unending dream
A magical evening with no-one else around
We had so much to share
The wind blows through you hair
Then I see you walk away without a sound

Book of Lies
i. A Dawning of Consciousness
They came across the Eastern Sea
To bring a change to you and me
We are searching.
Investigating
Ringing bells, the priests cry out
We said so. Didn't we tell you !
The evil that we promised is amongst us
Get on your knees and beg forgiveness from us
We will save you from yourselves
As you play your wicked games in darkened places
We bind you with our benign smiles
With stories from our book of lies
We control you.
We control you all !
Yet this is not the way the priests told us that it would be
These masters from the sea,
They tell us things we hardly can believe
Believe !
We have come among you, not to take you
To free! Not with chains to enslave you
You may leave. But we implore you to stay
Emancipation is our song,
We bring a world where you will belong
Emancipation is our song,
We bring a world to which you will belong
Yet this is not the way the priests told us that it would be
These masters from the sea,
They tell us things we hardly can believe
They say go children, go
Cast these chains away, run and play
These foolish priests only tried to keep you scared
With lies and fear
But now you're free !

Ever After
Eagles diving down
Tearing pieces from my soul
Hides a heart of coal
Changes fill my mind
Maybe that's all right with me.
And how it used to be.
Did you ever really want someone?
I mean, really want her bad?
Did you ever need to touch someone?
The merest softness of her hand?
Escaping to my dreams
The one who needs is you
The way you used to do
Still further in my dreams
I hear a sweet voice calling me.
Do you ever relate to me, loved one?
And as we're growing old
I'm standing out here in the hailstorm
And I'm growing old
Loneliness bears down
From the rain-clouds up above
I can't bear this grinding pain...
........... Of a life without love
A life without love
A life without love

Situation Disorientation
Well here I am again in lands of consternation
Just like the easy times before I had hidden my frustration
Things were so simple then I had no need for worry
My kingdom ruled itself with fairness, never in a hurry
Holes open in my mind
I drift before the tide
That's the thing about true peace
It makes you seek release
Who said that thing about pride?
It comes before a fall
I'm sure my eyes were open wide
But I didn't see it come to me at all.
No dragon is this thing called love it has more tact
It stalks you like a tiger leaving no time to react
Perhaps it seems a simple thing to try and live your dreams
But dreams are for the darker hours where no one can hear your scream
Perfumed lace hangs on the breeze
Next thing you're on your knees
A brightly coloured ball
Lies shattered on the floor
I watch my resolve die
Each time I look into your eyes
Or are they just a whim
Built high to keep me in
I am sure my eyes were open wide
But I didn't see it come to me
To me at all.. at all... at all
Dear lover, I must long away, I'm here against my will
I want to flee from your caress, but see my legs are still
Let me take you by the hand and walk my castle walls
Are they there to keep the demons out when sweet temptation calls?
Or are they just a whim
Built high to keep me in
I watch my resolve die
When I look into your eyes
A brightly coloured ball
Lies shattered on the floor
Lace hangs upon the breeze
Next thing you're on your knees
Who said that thing about pride?
It comes before a fall
I'm sure my eyes were open wide
But I didn't see it come to me at all.
To me at all
To me
Come to me to me at all
To me at all
To me.....

Controlled Flight Into Terrain
i. Not an easy day to forget
ii. See Fit
Maybe not today
Maybe not tomorrow
Was it yesterday?
When it turned to sorrow
And for the rest of our lives
At the end of the day
We greet our final curtain
The "foggy airport" way
The reasons are so simple
We keep forgetting who we are
We lost ourselves along the way
Behind a speeding car
Too busy looking forward
We forget to look around
Distorted pointless attitudes
Now we're heading for the ground
Don't know where we are
Don't know what we gained
Is this it all it becomes
A "Controlled Flight Into Terrain"
Don't know where we are
Don't know what we gained
Is this it all it becomes
A "Controlled Flight Into Terrain"

Zeitgeist
Seaside. This my time
I am walking here alone
The Zeitgeist, she plays games with my mind
Takes me into the danger zone
and Oh! .......... Oh !
The past becomes the present becomes the past
Through autumns' rusted blanket
Walks a friend with a long black coat
At times she's so intimate
At time she's so remote
While I watch her walk away
A scream forms in my throat
She is the ocean of my life
Upon her, there, I float
Seaside........ This is our time
I am no longer on my own
The Zeitgeist takes me in her arms
But I know she's going home
and Oh............Oh
I know she's going home.
The bitter wind of winter storms
Screams through my tearful eyes
As I stare of into distant lands
To where my Zeitgeist lies
I hold the precious photograph
It's deep beside my heart
I caught the spirit of another time
Then time tore us apart
She's going home.......
..........She's going home
She's going home.......
..........She's going home
