The Art of Navigating by the Stars

The view from here It is so frightening A world of tidepools Incompleteness all around A god beat lightnails Deep into the flesh of a summer night Words fell from a paper moon To come alive in a lonely room Time was standing still As giants broke the cardboard sword The old bridge sank into the river All certainties disappeared Roads and rivers are winding in a circle Around the curled up monumental me Outside looking in time and again Feeling the weight of a jaded dream And the view from here is frightening The view from here is frightening Far away between Sirius and Vega All along the Road of ancient Gods In the black heart of Orion Beneath the surface of a soul The momentum Everything is so different now The moon looks down with orphaned eyes And a lighthouse sends out fragile signals To a distant desert sea Roads and rivers are winding in a circle Around the curled up monumental dream Outside looking in time and again Feeling the weight of the jaded me It's frightening (frightening) It's so frightening, it's so frightening

Sometimes it's coming over me feels like a warm rain Sometimes it's coming back to me like a memory Just like the heat of endless winters The cold of midday suns It's the longest, the longest way a man can go Sometimes it's more than I can take Last night I spread my wings Upon two worlds colliding And somewhere in the monstrous distance The world, it came down on me Now I am soaring on lost latitudes A navigator with no chart Looking down on all the colours that Separated day from night And all the demons in my head Still permeate the sleep I will feast upon their strange desires Bring me something to keep the night away And here I am So close and yet too far away from you Here I stand Lost in the echoes of goodbyes Here I am Still with something left to lose A world was lost the other day And I am choking on the sediments And all the things that could have been, would have been Are the things than will not let me grow Drifting through the bitter echoes And the stillness far and wide All alone with nameless phantoms Chasing down a lonely road Sometimes it's coming over me Like a warm rain Sometimes it's coming back to me Like it's all destiny And here I am So close and yet too far away from you Here I stand Lost in the echoes of goodbyes And here I am And I'm so close and yet too far from you Here I stand Lost in the echoes of goodbyes Here I am Here I stand I'm lost in the echoes of goodbyes Here I stand

All around this fortress Ran the rivers of the dead Broke what seemed to be unbreakable Unreachable Drowned what seemed to be impregnable Infallible Cold September rain the summer's retreat A tapestry of falling stars This truth is small and truly trite There is no such thing like permanence But loss is like an undertow Pulling you down, pulling you down Pulling you down Because to me, because to me you were unbreakable Because to me, because to me you were unbreakable Because to me, because to me you were, you were Tonight I'm drilling holes Into the blueprint in my chart To drain the liquid shades of gray That run like rivers from my monument To reach the core to breathe again Find the long lost words My credo and my curse: "We few, we happy few" When all the world turns into stone And everything just stays the same There's no safe harbour in our sight All beauty sinks into the night Still we are, oh still we are We are, we are navigating by the stars Because to me, because to me you were unbreakable Because to me, because to me you were unbreakable Because you were, you were Nothing is, nothing was, nothing ever will be (unbreakable) Because you were, you were (unbreakable)

This feeling speaks With the quiet flutes of fall That disturb the sleep of sunken images The memory of voices in abandoned rooms Walk with me Walk with me down to the river's edge Walk with me Where the secrets lie and wait These wounds bleed The solemn pride of morning An overwhelming pain nourishing the flame The cold embrace of breaking heart Take this pain away (Don't take this pain away) Don't take this pain away Take this pain away (Don't take this pain away) Walk with me Walk with me down to the water's edge Walk with me Where the mirrors lie and wait It's breathing darkly through a lonely man The kiss of brother Cain Walk with me Walk with me down to the river's edge Walk with me Where the secrets lie and wait They lie and wait This sadness speaks Of golden plains and lakes of blue Like the curse of a wrathful god Like dew dropping from a thorn It speaks of things in secret tongues It is speaking out a name Take this pain away (Don't take this pain away) Don't take this pain away Take this pain away (Don't take this pain away) Walk with me Walk with me down to the water's edge Walk with me Where the mirrors And the view from here is frightening... The view from here is frightening... And the view from here is frightening...

Riding on a sea spray Falling from the sky Riding on a sea spray Blue wide open sea and sky The sky is blue wide open A grand vision to sink into Lonely views to stir the eye Moments of grace outside of the real The sea is blue wide open Completeness all around One step further and the weight gives way To all the dreams that are Riding on a sea spray Falling from the sky Riding on a sea spray Blue wide open sea and sky Just like an echo of light Canned in the heart of the stone A wayward pulse beating in the stillness Beneath the snow something's breaking through All in the wind through the the Strait of Magellan Beneath the Southern Cross we sail the wild wild sea To reach all things out of reach the promise of the name on and ever on The distant harbour lights of Valparaiso

Somewhere in the city, somewhere in the room A silent man, a work undone, a plan that went astray Somewhere in the limelight of a yearning reverie Words have lost their meaning on the fragile stage of fame The sky is starless for the ones who have failed Going nowhere, nowhere to go Life has no kindness for the ones who have failed Going somewhere, anywhere but home Sky without stars Stars without sky Sky without stars Stars without sky Somewhere in a wasteland on a windy railway bridge A desperate girl is looking down on all she will leave behind Somewhere in a subway a vacant name an unknown face Another everyday disgrace in the roundabouts of life The sky is starless for the ones who have failed Going nowhere, nowhere to go Life has no kindness for the ones who have failed Going somewhere, anywhere but home Sky without stars Stars without sky Sky without stars Stars without sky The sky is starless for the ones who have failed Going nowhere, nowhere to go Life has no kindness for the ones who have failed Going somewhere, anywhere but home The sky is starless Going nowhere, nowhere to go Life has no kindness for the ones who have failed Going somewhere, anywhere but home Anywhere but home

And where will we be tomorrow If we do not leave today? The more we wait for things to change The more they stay the same And the more they stay the same We change With all the floodgates opened Walls of water at our heels Where do we go from here? Where will we turn to? With all the shouldered load With all the limitless possibilities Like birds of passage flying free Aimlessly soaring Between time and space, sorrow and joy Through the night and undergrowth We set out for the sea Peering, absorbing, consuming And nothing's ever good enough No river too wide No ocean too deep No mountain too high The myriads of open roads Wayfarers at the crossroads There's always more than this, never more than this Our eyes elude the landmarks And the flame is swallowed now No river too wide No ocean too deep No mountain too high The myriads of open roads (Every river too wide) Every river too wide (Every ocean too deep) Every ocean too deep (Every mountain too high) The myriads of open roads

Sunlight is drowning in the halflight As the feelings return Strange and familiar a nocturnal fear Appearing and disappearing There is the river running deep And it is floating through the veins A nameless dread of the unknown Temporary sight an apprehension Vague yet saddening, saddening Black angels guiding me The sum of all my fears Black angels owning me Whispering through me The ties are loosening Black angels guiding me Black angels guiding me Into wordless, into neverland All sights and sounds slowly dissolve No gravity, no memory Far off stars in the afterglow A god removes the veil I'm holding in and I'm holding it out Until the strangeness disappears Last night I heard the waters dreaming Stones were fast asleep along the riverbed Let the waters wash all over me and let me dream again of something good Let me dream again of something good Let me dream of sheltered places of precious moments And of long-lost faces of truthful words that finally do make some sense Truthful words that make some sense Lay out, lay out these maps before me Let me trace again the borderlines of land and sea Flood the tide pools and wash away the shores No longer at the mercy of the waves, just let me breathe again Let me stand and bathe in the healing light And one more time let me navigate, just let me navigate by the stars Roads and rivers are winding in a circle Around the same old headstrong me Outside looking in time and time again Feeling the heat of a recurring dream Will the view from there be frightening? Will the view from there be frightening? Will the view from there be frightening? Will the view from there be frightening? Will the view from there be frightening? Will the view from there be frightening?
