Before the clocks started counting We built shrines to the sun Conducted rites by the moonlight Now remembered by none As we move through the future We are warmed by the past Like a fire on a cold, dark night But dawn's here at last... Let go of all that binds you Your kind will always find you We must give up the old ways Though they've served us well The rituals have lost meaning What were temples are shells But there is a new path That always has been As we set foot upon it Let us fear not the end Let go of all that binds you Your kind will always find you An endless series of meaningless tasks Each one distracting us all from the last Look all around at the things you've been given What do you see? Beauty and splendor, destruction and ruin All in your memory! Let go of all that binds you Your kind will always find you

Wait til the dawning of old Sirus See the world as it was new There is a mist upon the meadow And the stirring souls are few She hears the starlings cry at daybreak And the tolling of the bells She shivers in the chill of the morning air Drawing water from her well With tears like diamonds upon her haggard face Hear the owls cry at midnight And the towers tolling bells There is a fog upon the forest Where she's been she'll never tell With tears like diamonds upon her haggard face With tears like diamonds upon her haggard face With tears like diamonds upon her haggard face With tears like diamonds upon her haggard face With tears like diamonds With tears like diamonds upon her haggard face With tears like diamonds
High in the mountains and deep in the pines Lies the source of a vortex where certain forces align With nothing to do but commune with the trees In the valley of mist and shadow restless souls can be released Why do people wonder if there is evil in the world? If it's lurking in the darkness until its plans can unfurl When it's standing before you in the clear light of day In a finely tailored suit with a smile on its face Sun and moon Light and shadow Sacred ground To be hallowed In the hills And the hollows Where it wills We will follow Sun and moon, light and shadow Sacred ground, to be hallowed In the hills, and the hollows Where it wills, we will follow

Beware those gipsy witches, they are not what they seem One might try to put a hex on you Sisterly mysteries, or just tattoos and jewelry How they do it is nothing new Flying by, a stitch in time, waiting for the night to come Living their whole lives just making love and having fun A wise man and a fool Who should serve and who should rule Everything happens as it should So take a look around and ask yourself Do I see nothing good? All you worldly wizards in your ragged finery Never having nothing to say What will you do, what will become of you When your magic fades away Getting by, by staying high, waiting for the light to come To save us from damnation, god sent his only son. A wise man and a fool Who should serve and who should rule Everything happens as it should So take a look around and ask yourself Do I see nothing good?

The days are getting short again Leaves fall from the trees Nights are haunted by howling winds Harbingers of the freeze But sometimes there’s no way to know Until it’s Too late and You wake up to an early snow Eyes have become cold again Like distant lights in the trees Waiting for winter to begin Before it’s up to your knees But some things you can never know Until it’s Too late and You’re buried under an early snow Brace yourself against the cold Wish you could have stayed in bed Falling leaves of red and gold A nascent nexus lies ahead When the days become warm again Mountains covered with green Flowers bloom as the clouds roll by There ain’t a better sight to be seen Brace yourselves against the cold There is a road we all must tread Falling leaves of red and gold A nascent nexus lies ahead

Searching As you look up into the sky Heavens above Reflect the starlight in your eyes Moving Like a shadow Disembodied and alone Somewhere In the darkness Beyond the dusk, before the dawn Dreaming Beneath the velvet cloak of night The dark appear And feel your spirit taking flight Lurking By the roadside Hungry eyes, hearts of stone Don’t stray From the pathway Till you see the lights of home Moving Like a shadow Disembodied and alone Somewhere In the darkness Beyond the dusk, before the dawn

He is a deadly and desperate man On the run with gun in hand Fleeing from the hangman’s noose An outlaw with nothing to lose A pack of wolves surrounds its prey The mighty beast is brought to bay The smell of blood is in the air And soon the buzzards will claim their share They gather round the gallows They circle overhead Stalking the wounded beast Until it’s dead Clouds pass before the moon Eyes surround him in the gloom A single bullet left in his gun The buzzards wait till the morning comes

In the morning we wake to the sun When it sets we know our day is done Tonight as we sleep we will dream Till the next day has come While the ghost eye watches Sees into your soul Ghost eye watches Sees into your soul Ghost eye watches Sees right through your soul In the winter we endure the snows In the summer the waters will flow And the seeds that are planted in spring By the autumn will grow

They’ve got gold in their eyes They speak a language of lies But when the wheel is turned Their mighty castles will burn A lesson to be learned… That the amaranth never fades As we live out our days It shall grow on our graves When all of us turn to dust Petals fall from a rose What she already knows With the passing of years There will be nothing to fear She will shed no tears… Because amaranth never fades As we live out our days It will grow on our graves When our bones have all turned to dust Immortal amaranth never fades As we pass though this phase It shall grow on our graves When all of us have turned to dust

Gather your nectar, oh bees of the spring Gather your nectar, oh bees of the spring Give me your honey, spare me your stings Glisten with dew drops, oh rose of the morn Glisten with dew drops, oh rose of the morn Show me your beauty, spare me your thorns Gather your nectar, oh bees of the spring Give us your honey, spare us your sting Glisten with dew drops, oh rose of the morn Show us your beauty, spare us your thorn Gather your nectar, oh bees of the spring Give me your honey, but spare me your stings Glisten with dew drops, oh rose of the morn Open your pedals, and put away your thorns
