Morgenröte

Wake up and greet the day
Darkness bleeds away
Winter sun, so crimson-bright
Bringing shadows into sight
Now I see this path before me
Hope the sea forgives my audacity
Not for nothing, ride the sea
On the edge of death and life
Stood before the waves unshaken
Starfire burns in me
Deliver fate into my hands
Embark into the void undaunted
Casting gold into the roil
I cannot sate this nightmare
Of ancient bone, blood is sewn
I cannot sate this nightmare
Not for nothing, ride the sea
On the edge of death and life
Stood before the waves unshaken
Starfire, fleeting dream
Path written in the stars
Strings of fate remain unbroken
Casting gold into the roil
I cannot sate this nightmare
Of ancient bone, blood is sewn
I cannot sate this nightmare
Sailing through visions of peace
Hollow illusions tempting me
Stories told, the house of old
Drift away from you, my final refuge
Now I set my course, the unforgiving north
The cold beckons forth, abandon warmth
Can I see the light again?
Under wreckage of the stars, I make my bed
Daybreak fading in
Last hope, distant and remote
That I shall forever hold

Liminal Bridges

In a moment frozen in time,
I could read the lips of the wind,
and I began to climb
upward towards the world's end.
Now between the shadow and light
In the space behind these walls
In the midst of dawn and twilight
Chaos! Calling out to me!
Fly to me
Sometimes I feel I'm a traveler
Never at home upon this plane
Never at home amongst these earthly things
Sometimes I worry that I will never
Understand the pain, the fear, the mystery of you
Beautiful you,
desolate night burns in your eyes
Free me from the chains of time and space
Now when we're apart I'm tortured
by the distance that I feel between
to be and not to be.
In every silhouette, behind horizon lines,
the love, the fear, the mystery of you
Beautiful you,
desolate night burns in your eyes
In the void of your embrace,
I find it in my heart to leave this place behind
Fly to me

Love in a Fallen World
07:42
|

Love in a lonely place
Left upon your heart, anxiety
No room for you, my friend
Helpless to the winds of love and laughter
Love when there's nothing left
Made it clear that I can't hold you closer
Love in a fallen world
draped upon beliefs I've set before me
So I wonder,
so I wonder,
what's left?
Can I make it
when you've taken
my breath?
So I wonder,
so I wonder,
what's left?
Love in a fallen world
draped upon beliefs I've set before me
No room for you, my friend
Helpless to the winds of love and laughter
Love in a shallow way
Step across my heart until its bloody
No thought of yesterday
Lost inside a moment, never left me
So you crossed the river, hoping its not the same
Emotions withered, fearing that you're insane
I loved you deeper, but its all in my mind
Beautiful figure, casting shadows of time
So you crossed the river, hoping its still the same
I loved you deeper, still the distance remains

Dream Snake

Consuming ancient root, slipping off to dream
Mind taking twists and turns, nothing's as it seems
Castles of fallen stars, fields of blue and green
Set me an early grave, let my soul be free
Let my soul be free
Forever field of dreams
Let my soul be free
Forever
For within my own dreams we are quite serene
Standing behind the veil, godless majesty
Golden and lilac eyes, cutting into me
Rivers of crimson tears, carry me to sleep
Carry me to sleep,
Amongst the things I said we'd keep
Sitting on the rock of time
I thought I heard you speak
I thought I heard you
Carry me to sleep,
Amongst the things I said we'd keep
Sitting on the rock of time
I thought I heard you speak
Oh, time
Ever the judge of the feelings we've lost
but we've turned into stone
Oh, life
Ever the chaos with not
but a morsel of light turned to stone
Go desire! To some other heart!
I'll keep you safe
but only in my mind, where we can live
the rest of my days in a silver slumber
Go! You liar, you thief!
Took everything from me
except for my dreams

The Ever-Living Fire
09:11
|
|||
|
Above the crowd of little lies
I throw away my alibis
And dance across the bridge of sighs
to count the stars within your eyes
Arise again, my ashen hope
And take my hand, and we'll elope
So give me just a diamond truth
and crush me like you always do
When fortune's done, she'll break me like a glass
The lasting truth is nothing ever lasts
What I would give to see it all again
The secret is that nothing ever ends
Come into life and pass away
You never go, you never stay
Cause justice is a passion play
So go ahead and have your way
Dance with me, you sacred sin
All things in space, they love to spin
So give me just the golden truth
Then crush me like you always do
You never sleep nor tire,
An ever-living fire!
O dancing star! O cloth of chaos!
Who wraps me up in blazing silk
Strip me down to the bone
Was that life?
Once more.

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points. This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+...
