RINGS OF EARTHLY LIGHT
a) EARTHCORE
Trees are drawing shades
On the wall; I keep my shade
Toy with my brain in this place of rest
And I try to find in time my freedom light
Soft flights,
Flickerig waves of colour without light,
Strikes of wind
Divide myself from fantasy.
Earthly spirits out from the mist,
Wandering knights
Mount white wild steeds.
In this land my spirit’s searching for a link
To this Earth’s core.
In this land my spirit’s searching for a link
To this Earth’s core.
Greedy strains upon this world
While I’m floating in the breeze
Picking rings of memory
Scattered by the wings of time to come
In this land my spirit’s searching for a link
To this Earth’s core.
In this land my spirit’s looking for a link
To this Earth’s core.
b) PORTRAIT
In leaves
I made you, maiden
I made you, maiden, mine for life
From leaves you came,
I made you mine
I made you, maiden, mine for life
c) SELL MY FEELINGS
Sell my feelings to the sky to give me life,
Stop for me eternal time
Run with me in glittering woods,
Run with me behind the colours of the sun.
Come through and hear trees breathe
From the leaves you made me,
Now create a story for my time
Sing me in verse like poetry
I’ll reach the lake that’s in my dreams
where you’ll find me
She was flying
In rings of earthly light
Where the forest’s dark
Waterwise
My mind came dark and so my dreams
She was flying
In rings of earthly light
Where the forest’s dark
Waterwise
I knew my sense of life was gone

Only when they’re broken
03:03

Stop the tape, turn off the light,
the stars are bright, the day’s the night
and all the people walking disappear.
There’s several books upon the shelf
inviting me to lose myself
and all I ever wanted can be clear.
Can you hold out your hands?
Take a piece of life with you.
And it will make your spirit true.
Take the piece and make the peace
and break apart the grey with these
And watch the colours blend into a sphere.
I only saw you once but you were alive
and all for what it’s worth
If I never see you again I know I’ll die.
Can you hold out your hands?
Take a piece of life with you.
And it will make your spirit true.
Turn your back and walk away,
some things last and some things stay,
only when they’re broken do they mend.
Take the piece and make the peace
and break apart the grey with these
And watch the colours blend into a sphere
Take the piece and make the peace
And watch the colours blend into a sphere

The way home

Cold rain and wind rise
Open your mind
You’ re painted now
On this wall made of grey
Our true images away
I wish you could hear my praise;
“Please, stay, my guide
Be on my side
I wish I could leave my time”

Chime of the times
04:17
|

|
I wrote a sign, I held it up high
Written big so it touched the sky
Letters in gold so they glowed through the night
I waited there till morning.
I’m still there now alone
The man, the sign, the stone
Distant chimes, sign of the times.
I wrote a sign, I wrote it in red.
Stayed all day with it in my bed.
Letters so small that they could not be seen.
I waited there till morning
Distant chimes, sign of the times.

All I need is feeling you by my side
I never walk alone in empty fields of sky
And I remain to see your eyes when you cry
They seem to me two stars enlightening all my life
You’re not so lonely, tonight I go
Into your dreams, I hold your hand
Now you understand what I feel for you
Don’t be afraid I stay with you in every time
And if the words are not enough for your heart
I play my song which talks of you for all the time
You’re not so lonely, tonight I go
Into your dreams, I hold your hand

Return to the past
05:44
|

|
The sun won’t rise there
The sky won’t be blue
The sand that fills every hourglass will be destroyed
The feelings, I wonder
I smile to tomorrow
The force of emotions
Will rise in the sky
The feeling in me are too strong to be destroyed
The feelings I wonder
Are riding to somewhere

Creatures of the lake
05:23
|

|
Pickin’ up a smooth stone
And throwin’ it into the lake
I stood and watching falling down
Circles on the water
How they form and disappear
Calling me down to the deep
And now my image
is still in silent and empty again
but someone really is calling me, just from there
Cause I’m going down and through the lake
I can breathe under water
It’s a homecoming, I feel my place
Circles on the water
How they form and disappear
Calling me down to the deep
Down here I’m free
I’ve never felt like this before
This is what I was made for, I realize
And the lights and sounds and colors here
are everything I need
A newborn soul in me as awaken
Circles on the water
How they form and disappear
Calling me down to the deep
Dancing round under the sun
Water is so sweet
Wearing moonbeams at night
And the light of the stars
And I whisper with my sisters
Sweet creature of the lake
Dancing round under the sun
Water is so sweet
Wearing moonbeams at night
And the light of the stars
And I whisper with my sisters
Sweet creature of the lake
And our songs last forever
Our lives know no time
Know no time
Circles on the water
How they form and disappear
Calling me down to the deep
Calling me down to the deep

You’ll become rain
01:51
|

|
Under a sheet of dream light
Your life passes by like raindrops gathering in a reel
You can’t find a place for living
Can’t find a way for mending wounds and fly away
You’ll find another reason
Another cruel dream
And the rain will flow on the wind
The rain will sail on the wind
Sat on the edge of nowhere
You try to remind the face now drowning in your dreams
Lost in the haze of shadows
A rainbow appears above and it’s another day
And looking in the mirror
You’ll become rain
Flowing down in the sea
Flowing down in the sea
