I crawl and cry, and fall to my knees in praise of the sweet majesty
I saw a sign that led me to weep for all the beauty surrounding me
My tears roll down, both sad and happy, like dew drops from a feeble tree
Wrong and out of place in this golden valley, among the mountains that hug the seas
As the tulips kiss the breeze so gently, and sun and earth’s touch make scenery
Tied to secret realms and strange galaxies, by the god of wonder and fantasy
I’m just a smudge on this grand tapestry, unfit for the love that created me

Falcon's Cry
04:35
|
|||
|
When you finally find me, draped in ivy, alone, and bitter ‘bout the world
Don’t be frightened by me, for what’s inside me, has formed with the flora of the fold
As prince of greenery and soil
And as the opulence is fading like the twinkle from an eye
I hear the cry, of a peregrine in flight
Meanwhile the raiders go on raiding
As the villagers thank the skies
These tears don’t ask for battle, they ask why?
Take a look around you, the precious green view, and I the center of it all
Limb now timber sinew, vein is vine too, exiled from man’s deadly sprawl
Beyond, the pleading falcon calls
And as the opulence is fading like the twinkle from an eye
I hear the cry, of a peregrine in flight
Meanwhile the raiders go on raiding
As the villagers thank the skies
These tears don’t ask for battle, they ask why?

Heart Of A Kitten
04:40
|
|||
|
Is this the law, or are the gods testing me?
Like a sweet little babe gently resting on the sea
Cuddled and coddled by the unicorn that breastfed me
A precious little sight, but in the end it bested me
All my life, I dreamed I’d be great
A chorus to sound as I walk away
But I just fall short every time I am
The parts I was given, formed like a fawn
With the heart of a kitten, the brains of a brawn
Who would be smitten by this disappointing spawn?
So undeserving of adoration
No song is sung
Save for the chorus of silent dawns
This mutant dreams of someone who’s caressing me
Appall becomes appeal, and soon she’s undressing me
Silk sheets churn, like ocean waves
As all my shame washes away
In the pale moonlight, touching my face is her hand
All my life, I longed to be loved
A chorus to sound from up above
But I just fall short every time I am
The parts I was given, formed like a fawn
With the heart of a kitten, the brains of a brawn
The parts I was given, formed like a fawn
With the heart of a kitten, the brains of a brawn
Life’s so demeaning, rigid and rough
A delicate seedling needs a softer touch
So pet the fragile fawn
And wake the silent dawn

Fairy Wings
04:21
|
|||
|
Like sun rays move through the air
They flutter with grace and lack the despair weighing down me and you
Shed the veil and you’ll find a wondrous little place where fairies reside
Tending to all that grows
Each has its place in a grander design, and that is all that is needed
All that I lack
I can’t have it all
Fairy wings on my back
I can’t have it all
Yearning deep down inside like a hare without a mate or suppressing a cry, toxic aggression brews
Quell your qualms and decide, if you’ll abide or break the divide
Fey and fauna wait for you
Ache no more shake no more as long as you’re true
You can have all that you’re needing
The funds to pay my bills
I can’t have it all
Fair care when I’m ill
I can’t have it all
The circumstance to feel fulfilled
I can’t have it all
All that I lack
I can’t have it all
Fairy wings on my back
I can’t have it all
A magic sword to cut me slack
I can’t have it all
A unicorn to ride bareback
I can’t have it all
All that I lack
I can’t have it all
Fairy wings on my back
I can’t have it all
A forest nymph to be my friend
I can’t have it all
Find some peace from within
I can’t have it all, can’t have it all

There's A Forest
03:40
|
|||
|
Somewhere out there I lost the meaning
Perhaps I never held it in my grasp at all
The burgeoning feeling, to pine for the unattainable
Daydreaming of returning to the moss and the soil
There’s a forest that beckons me to a quiet glade
Made just for us, bathed in silver starlight and jade
There’s a forest that beckons me to a quiet glade
Made just for us, bathed in silver starlight and jade
There’s a forest that beckons me to a quiet glade
Made just for us, bathed in silver starlight and jade

Follow me into the reeds
You say that I won’t let it go, it's fantasy
But we’re always chasing self delusions
Romanticized, idealized versions of our lives
I can’t remember the smell of summer
Feels like I’m just riding bitch on the unicorn of my life
Live to surrender
Hanging on so tender
Feels like I’m just riding bitch on the unicorn of my life
So close to wonder, so far from the dream
I know that I have lost control of the steed
The mane, it sparkles in a lovely way
While places spawn far beyond, then blink away
I can’t remember the smell of summer
Feels like I’m just riding bitch on the unicorn of my life
Live to surrender
Hanging on so tender
Feels like I’m just riding bitch on the unicorn of my life
I can’t remember the smell of summer
Feels like I’m just riding bitch on the unicorn of my life
Live to surrender
Hanging on so tender
Feels like I’m just riding bitch on the unicorn of my life

Bathos
04:54
|
|||
|
The sun continues to rise and set, while I’m left standing idly
Every day gallops away, yet I’m more distant than I thought I’d be
And all of the crystals have gone dark and shattered at my feet
The strands entwined snap one at a time in my suspension of disbelief
I’m so, I’m so disenchanted
I’m so, I’m so disenchanted
The battle horn drones on endlessly
There’s been no fulfillment of prophecy, just interpretation
I’m so, I’m so disenchanted
The revelation’s such a deflation, and it’s muttered uncertainly
The future looms like the fullest of moons, and it’s no longer a mystery
I used to be wishful, now I’m just tossing coins down the sink
But in the light we lose obscurity, is that really how it’s supposed to be?
I’m so, I’m so disenchanted
I’m so, I’m so disenchanted
The battle horn drones on endlessly
There’s been no fulfillment of prophecy, just interpretation
I’m so, I’m so disenchanted
I’m so, I’m so disenchanted
I’m so, I’m so disenchanted
The battle horn drones on endlessly
There’s been no fulfillment of prophecy, just interpretation
I’m so, I’m so disenchanted

Dire Wolf
04:55
|
|||
|
Try to run away
But these feelings hunt me like desperate dire wolves
Always been the prey
From pitiful boy, to trembling tender oaf
The hungry howls go
The gaze of the owls
Have to get away
From the menacing thoughts that prowl behind my back
Or break from the weight
Let them tear me apart, reborn into scat
Seems I’m the dire one
The loathed undesired one
Why can’t I overcome my weakness?
Tear off my shirt, and be a man
Face head on all this bleakness
Wielding an axe in each hand
Beheading the mutts in sequence
With an axe-shredding hair band
The bloody fountains are ceaseless
‘Til dawn reveals a red land
Seems I’m the dire one
The loathed undesired one
Seems I’m the dire one
The loathed undesired one
Seems I’m the dire one
The loathed undesired one
Seems I’m the dire one
The loathed undesired one

In The End
03:59
|
|||
|
Beyond the hills and halls
Past earthly gloss and gloam
Looms a black behemoth
Beckoning me home
It speaks to me in tongues
Whispered shrieks and groans say
I will die like I lived, humdrum and alone
Woes, wishes, scattered like ashes thrown
In the end, there is nothing to lament
Lives of hubris, so thin
Shattered and shamed in one moment
But fear not the end, in its mercy hearts will mend
All the pain and grief washes away in seas of peace
And then, in the end, wings unfold as souls ascend
Soaring cranes above tombs of disdain and aching love
Oh to feel, to know, to shed these fetters, and begin again

When The Tyrant Fell
06:55
|
|||
|
As the light peeks through, adorning all around it
With crowns renewed, freeing all once bound by it
The tyrant fell, and the birds are all singing a sweet farewell to all his crimes
As the dawn seeps through, and the dark is lifting
For days anew, fore the warmth went missing
I pledge my knife to the forces of good, peace, and gentleness, may it shine for all time
As the light peeks through, adorning all around it
With crowns renewed, freeing all once bound by it
The tyrant fell, and the birds are all singing a sweet farewell to all his crimes
As the dawn seeps through, and the dark is lifting
For days anew, fore the warmth went missing
I pledge my knife to the forces of good, peace, and gentleness, may it shine for all time
As the light peeks through, adorning all around it
With crowns renewed, freeing all once bound by it
The tyrant fell, and the birds are all singing a sweet farewell to all his crimes
As the dawn seeps through, and the dark is lifting
For days anew, fore the warmth went missing
I pledge my knife to the forces of good, peace, and gentleness, may it shine for all time
