NO  PLACE TO HIDE    

Well it's a cold wind blowing
Yes it's one of those nights
Where you separate knowing
From what you think is wrong and right
It's time to face yourself
And you know there is no one else
Yes it's a hall of mirrors
There's no place to hide from yourself.

Well the glass it will shatter
And the wounds cut so very deep
Yes there's no place you can hide
Not even when you're asleep
You can run for awhile
But there's no permanent sanctuary
Yes everything young turns old
You don't think about it, you just cry.

See what happens when you trust in feelings
And you say yes to it all
When you fall this deep
You begin to question it all
It's time to face your Self
And you know there is no one else
You no longer say I to everything
You don't think about it, you just cry.


THE DOOR INTO SUMMER

A passage that leads from this moment here
And time's an illusion that we sometimes fear
We've fallen so deep into a great sleep...again
And we awake too late from the dream it seems
Or is it ever too late?

And the magic of days is with us now
If only we could see
All distortions and distractions cannot destroy
If only we would see...

The Door Into Summer is open again
Into a yellow haze
And all that we see is passing away
Nothing here will remain.

So where is your treasure now?
Is it attachment to objects and things?
When nothing here will remain
It seems silly to hold on or to cling.
Yes the magic of days is with us again
If only we could see
All distortions and distractions cannot destroy
If only we would see....

DIONYSUS UNVEILED (RETURN TO ECSTASY)

Into the circle we plant our seed
Filling the void and all of our need
Rip the mask off-you don't need it here anymore.
Down through the centuries we have passed through
Having missed the mark, yes we ALL are fools
Let that all go now and seize the ecstasy.

1st chorus:
Forget here all that you've been told
Released from illusions that imprison your soul
And hold on to me
Through this deepest of night
And feel so free, this ecstasy, that takes us to the light...........

All of these wounds and all of these stains
Will wash away with the pouring rain
Leaving us in ecstasy beyond our name and face.
Dissolve away and burn in the flame
Ashes to ashes and without shame
Let that all go now and make forever your claim

2nd chorus:
Forget here all that you've been told
Released from illusions that imprison your soul
And the waves of the sea
Outside and inside me
Return to Ecstasy and finally we at last are free.

BREAK THE SPELL

Wake from the dream....
Away from this place....

That healing stone
Cuts through life and death
All the way to the bone.

No trust in faith
But invest in war
Payment of weapons
To settle your score
A twilight nation
Will not stop...
Weapons will not bring
Everlasting peace....

Come to me now
Shed tears to weep
Come to me now
Shed tears to weep......

The world turns
The world goes to sleep
Locked inside the dream
And does not see.
Break from the spell
Wake from the nightmare.
Break from the spell
The keeper of keys
The keeper of the keys.......

I am the forest
Destroyed by your greed
I am the forest
I am the seed.

ALL OF THE DAYS

Though the days are numbered seeming to be few
Looking out from here and taking in the view
Caught up in distraction, the corporate spell
Seduced by the gravity that keeps us in hell
All of our days; all of the days.
So we're told the economy needs to improve
But the question remains just for who?
Addicted to excess-no longer see through
It all comes back to me and you
All of the days, all of the days, all of the days...
Nothing for nothing, unless we change...

Well one thing that is certain the spirit burns on
Carried by the wind and it moves beyond
It's in the voice of the people where we all are one
A beating heart and the warmth of the sun
All of the days, all of the days....

And sooner or later we will see through
Nothing can hold us, it's the Dawn of the New
No more war or the illusion of sin
All of these things come to an end
All of the days, all of the days, all of the days...
Something for something, break through the maze
All of the days, all of the days, all of the days,
Wake up from the dream and welcome the rain....

Time is like raindrops that fall on the land
Moving in circles-the beginning and end...
As we lift up our spirits we now can begin
To let go of the madness we've labeled as sin
All of the days, all of the days...

Drink deep of the water and quench that thirst
Drink deep of the water, the last is now first
Everything passes like night into day
All things pass, we cannot stay
All of the days, all of the days, all of the days...
Something from something, we are amazed...
All of the days, All of the days, All of the days....
Wake up from the dream and welcome the sun again......

LET IT GO

Well you say that you're tangled
Bewildered and strangled
Caught up in a whirling noise
Feeling so uncertain
You carry a burden
Still there remains a choice.

1st Chorus:
And you can find a way
Into a great escape this very day
Open up_let it go_and you will know
That's all

Whatever destinations
Forget the expectations
There's nothing anyone really owns.
The person in the mirror
Can be the great deceiver
What do any of us really know?

2nd chorus
And you can find a way
Into a great escape this very day
Open up and let it go and you will know
For the time is here and the time is now and that's all there is
Yes, the time is here and the time is now and that's all there is
That's all................

THE DISTANT MALVERNS

A lifetime dream come true
We stepped beyond and through the door
The journey just begun, we scaled the distance blue.
A shared experience-my brothers and my true friends
No questions of how or why
Our gaze upon the sky.

And I, I wish that I could fly. (twice)

We traveled the road to Rollright Stones
And then to Broadway Tower
And perched upon the hill
The Distant Malverns rose.
And no words could quite describe
This moment so sublime in time
Rooted into the earth
Shatter death and birth.

And I, I wish that I could fly. (twice)

ERIC     (Lyrics by Genevieve Evans)

Dripping through oranges
Stained tile walls
A twirl of secrets
With gloomy pictures.

A spider floating in the dust
A shadow of ebony.
A spider floating in the dust
And three tainted floors.

Ghosts settle in corners
With hints of cackles
A mermaid in a nutshell
An angel in flames.

Silence lingers through this room
Full of soon forgotten memories
Silence lingers through this room
Swallowed whole in apathetic death.

BEYOND ALL BOUNDARIES

It is simple- at least this is what is told me.
Yet I'm troubled by all the suffering I see.
Moving on isn't always so easy
Or to see right through and know the root of my disease...

1st Chorus:   And tear down all the walls that divide....

We call ourselves civilized and then we go to war
And somehow justify the sickness inside
We buy into the lie: THIS WAR WILL END ALL WARS
And we ignore the battle that rages within

2nd Chorus:     And tear down all the walls that divide
                             Dissolve the illusion of I, me, and mine

Into the womb-into the night where we lose our sight.
All divisions disappear from view.
The language of the heart speaks so very clear
When boundaries fall and we are ready to hear...

3rd Chorus:   And tear down all the walls that divide
                          And following this line that leads us to the sky.............
 
Ohh, the sky....there is no you; there is no I.
Ohh, the endless sky, yes the endless sky...
Beyond all boundaries and beyond you and I.
The endless sky, the endless sky...
Past the great divide that dissolves you and I
The endless sky, the endless sky...........

AWAKE FROM MAYA

Well I wish that I could turn around and see everything so clear
Like the innocence of a child who lives to be here
All illusions of the future and those scars of a painful past
Afflict all those who cling to them; these things that will not last.

1st Chorus:     I wish I knew, how to be free
                           I wish I knew, who is me

Well it's an easy trap to get caught up in: the things that we believe
Like something is owed to us and demanding how it should be
So let's celebrate a newer day and open from within
To be naked to what really is-is a sure way to begin.

2nd Chorus:   I wish I knew, how to be free
                          I wish I knew, who is me
                          I wish I knew, how to be free
                          I wish I knew how to be....

And a reoccurring problem is a clinging to all the years
There is no path to freedom by feeding on all our fears.
So my challenge is to escape blame and to finally let go,
To see things as they really are and to not what I think I know.

(Repeat 2nd Chorus)
