A Crown Without Thorns

I've been searching for you
For such a long time
I forgot the seasons
I forgot the colour of the sun
I've been waiting for a sign
I've been shouting your name out loud
Every single empty day
Every single lonely night
Maybe there is somewhere
On a mountain, in a desert
Maybe there is somewhere
A place that is mine a crown without thorns
I've been running through the storms
I’ve been flying where ghosts don't tread
To catch you in my dreams
To see you, to touch your face
I've been sweating in your shadow
Bleeding on your walls of indifference
Getting trapped in a sarcophagus of pain
I'm waiting in vain to be released
Maybe there is somewhere
On a mountain in a desert
Maybe there is somewhere
A place that is mine a crown without thorns
A crown without thorns is waiting for me x4
I've been searching for you
For such a long time
I forgot the seasons
I forgot the colour of the sun
I forgot the seasons I forgot the colour of the sun
I forgot the seasons I forgot the colour of the sun
I forgot the seasons
The colour of the sun
The colour of the sun
A crown without thorns is waiting for me x4
A crown without thorns x2
A crown without thorns is waiting for me

Water for Osiris
09:17

I am he whose feet are dusty
I am a man like any man born from a blue egg buried
I have seen the flood above the cypress
And known the power within
I have swung wide the two blue doors of heaven
Green water swings wide at the bow of my barque
I have sailed the waterways of the Nile
And entered the sea of heaven
Give me water to drink
Water to drink
Give me water to drink
Quench my thirst
Give me the power of water
I have rubbed shoulders with those
With those who have rubbed shoulders with Ra
I have envisioned angels without ceasing
I have dreamed the white heat of my own resurrection
I have passed through the floods of emotion
The floods of emotion and knowledge
I stood on the highest hill in Egypt
And saw the waters embrace the land
Give me water to drink
Water to drink
Give me water to drink
Quench my thirst
Give me the power of water
Give me water to drink
Water to drink
Give me water to drink
Quench my thirst
Give me the power to love
I have seen the moon fill with rain like a silver cup
I've sailed my barque over the sky
I am the sun roaring beside two lions named Yesterday and Tomorrow
I am a young bull in a field of caves
I have eaten the leg of venison and gnawed the bones of his tight
I've gone around every island and sailed all the delta canals
I can name every bright lotus that grows in Egypt
I am the heir of eternity where the water flows
I have eaten the leg of venison and gnawed the bones of his tight
I've gone around every island and sailed all the delta canals
I can name every bright lotus that grows in Egypt
I am the heir of eternity where the water flows
Give me water to drink
Water to drink
Give me water to drink
Quench my thirst
Give me the power of water
Give me water to drink
Water to drink
Give me water to drink
Quench my thirst
Give me the power to love

The hand and the voice

I was nothing - I am bleeding
I was everything - I am suffering
I was the air - I am suffocating
I was empty - I am emotion
I was vacuity - I am confusion
I was the voice - I am the hand
Could I love you? - Could I love you again?
Could I trust you? - Could I trust you again?
I was unity - I am numbers
I was eternity - I must endure
I was the truth - I am the verb
I was nothing - I am bleeding
I was everything - I am suffering
I was the air - I am suffocating
Could I love you? - Could I love you again?
Could I trust you? - Could I trust you again?
Could I love you? - Could I love you again?
Could I trust you again? - Could I live?
I was nothing - I am bleeding
I was everything - I am suffering
I was the air - I am suffocating
I was permanency - I am a ghost
I was infinity - I am lost
I was the one - I am a man
Could I love you? - Could I love you again?
Could I trust you? - Could I trust you again?
Could I love you? - Could I love you again?
Could I trust you again? - Could I die?

La Fuite de la Lune
07:20
|
|||
|
To outer senses there is peace,
A dreamy peace on either hand,
Deep silence in the shadowy land,
Deep silence where the shadows cease.
Save for a cry that echoes shrill
From some lone bird disconsolate;
A corncrake calling to its mate;
The answer from the misty hill.
And suddenly the moon withdraws
Her sickle from the lightening skies,
And to her sombre cavern flies,
Wrapped in a veil of yellow gauze.

Enough
05:17

The earth can shake under my feet,
My world may fall apart,
But I know I will be okay
In my heart
When I hit the floor and scream,
When the colours fade,
In my heart I know
I will be okay
I am made of strength and steel,
My heart is made of gold.
And all of my hardships
Are stories to be told
One day you will hear of me
A tale as old as time
The self-fulfilling prophecy
That is my life
I will persevere
When the road gets rough
I will persevere
I am enough
I will persevere
When the road gets rough
I will persevere
I am enough
I will persevere
When the road gets rough
I will persevere
No matter what they set out to do
No matter how strong they are
No matter how many they are
No matter how strong they are
No matter what they set out to do
No matter how strong they are
No matter how many they are
No matter how strong they are
No matter what they set out to do
I will persevere
I will persevere
Poem:
"Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul."
I will persevere
When the road gets rough
I will persevere
I am enough
I will persevere
When the road gets rough
I will persevere
I am enough
I will persevere
When the road gets rough
I will persevere
I am enough
No matter how strong they are
No matter how many they are
No matter how strong they are
No matter what they set out to do
No matter how strong they are
No matter how many they are
No matter how strong they are
I am enough
I will persevere
I will persevere

I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,
And Mourners to and fro
Kept treading - treading - till it seemed
That Sense was breaking through -
And when they all were seated,
A Service, like a Drum -
Kept beating - beating - till I thought
My mind was going numb -
And then I heard them lift a Box
And creak across my Soul
With those same Boots of Lead, again,
Then Space - began to toll,
As all the Heavens were a Bell,
And Being, but an Ear,
And I, and Silence, some strange Race,
Wrecked, solitary, here –
And then I heard them lift a Box
And creak across my Soul
With those same Boots of Lead, again,
Then Space - began to toll,
As all the Heavens were a Bell,
And Being, but an Ear,
And I, and Silence, some strange Race,
Wrecked, solitary, here -
And then a Plank in Reason, broke,
And I dropped down, and down -
And hit a World, at every plunge,
And Finished knowing - then

Where Planets Die

Thunder and lightning
Angels are crying
The skies are ablaze
Unstoppable fate
Here comes the day
To believe the signs
There’s no escape
No more lies
The air’s aglow with fire
No mockers and fools anymore
The trumpets blow
The end of the world
A trail of light
On the horizon
Stars fade to black
Dust to dust
Thunder and lightning
Demons are smirking
The skies are ablaze
Unstoppable fate
Here comes the day
To believe the signs
There’s no escape
No more lies
Where planets die
