Air
03:59
|

Heavy is the air
In which we live
Heavy is the heart
That can't forgive
I need some air
I'm suffocating
I need to breath out on my own
To feel the wind and let it lift me
To see how far that I may roam
Reliving every day
Inside my head
The pressure that I feel
It keeps me in my bed
I need some air
I'm suffocating
I need to breath out on my own
To feel the wind and let it lift me
To see how far that I may roam

Foundation of Trust
03:47
|
|||
I see you out there with your friends
Dancing all night long
And even if I don't leave with you
I know that you won't do me wrong
I have known you now a very long time
A very long time it's true
(And) You, my friend, you have my trust
In everything you do
Brick by brick
Stone by stone
The foundation is in place
Brick by brick
Stone by stone
It’s a place where love's embraced
There are times when I'm out with friends
And you've headed off to bed
Have faith in me, without jealousy
That your trust is not mislead
I would never do anything to
Break the trust we've laid
A foundation where we've built a home
A place that time has made
Brick by brick
Stone by stone
The foundation is in place
Brick by brick
Stone by stone
It's a place where love's embraced

Fire
03:23
|
|||
Pure as fire
Hot as flame
Ash to ash
Nunc Coepi
From out of the fire the phoenix flies
Rising up from the debris
Cleanse the heart
Cleanse the mind
Mistakes are made
Leave them behind
Dark's the night until the light
That lifts the veil
that once left us blind.
Ignite the fire
Ignite the fire
Ignite the fire
The cleansing fire
Resurrection from the fire
The past has passed
Plus jamais
Let's burn the bridge
Put it to flame
What's done is done
Now walk away
Ignite the fire
Ignite the fire
Ignite the fire
The cleansing fire

The Rain is Falling
03:50
|
|||
Like the tears we cry
Under a moonless sky
The rain is falling
The rain is falling down
And the sky, she weeps
It's music - bittersweet
The rain is falling
The rain is falling down
The water brings us life
So we'll dance tonight
The rain is falling
The rain is falling down
We watch the rivers rise
Now with worry in our eyes
‘Cause the rain is falling
The rain is still falling down
The rain
The rain
The rain
The rain is falling down
The rain
The rain
The rain
The rain is falling down

In the Stillness
06:01
|
|||
Here in the darkening days
You'll blend in to the night
A desire to cast yourself away
And vanish from their sight
In isolation, you can dance
Free of judgement and free of care
Celebrate with a cautious heart
Suspicious and always aware
In the stillness
In the stillness
To risk your heart and trust
Is to open yourself to pain
The suffering of fools is clear
There is only yourself to blame
In the stillness you are alive
Yet numb to all of the din
In the stillness you're free to laugh
From all that you hold within
In the Stillness
In the Stillness
In the stillness you are dead
Yet here you watch the world go by
In the stillness you can be yourself
A fantasy away from your life
And if you stay here you are sane
The little pills will help you sleep
And if you cry out in the dark
Your nightmare is yours to keep
In the Stillness
In the Stillness

Omens
05:49
|
|||
A bison steps up to a bear
While a golden dragon flies around the pair.
There's a change upon the horizon
And we need to proceed with the greatest of care.
Dark clouds in the distance hold a clue
While a raven lands in front of you
The omens are there for us to see
Omens are signs of what could be.
'Cause something wicked this way comes
But we will be whoever we become
The sky turns the color of blood
The summer droughts now they never end
A flock of birds lies dead upon the road
And the rising seas are an ominous portend.
Dark clouds in the distance hold a clue
While a raven lands in front of you
The omens are there for us to see
Omens are signs of what could be.
'Cause something wicked this way comes
But we will be whoever we become
Everywhere around us there are signs
The path before us - is not controlled.
But the future can be so predictable.
Sometimes wisdom is seeing a different road.
Dark clouds in the distance hold a clue
While a raven lands in front of you
The omens are there for us to see
Omens are signs of what could be.
'Cause something wicked this way comes
But we will be whoever we become

In the Witching Hour
03:11
|
|||
The spirits will gather ‘round
The forest in the night
They seek a common ground
Under the pale moonlight
In the witching hour
A time between the realms
We practice our darkest rites
We seek out the witchy elm
Near remains of druidic sites
In the witching hour
Feeling the power grow
Carefully we prepare the spell
We'll contact the other side
Where only our demons dwell
In the witching hour
We'll work while the village sleeps
Away from their prying eyes
And then before the dawn
We return as the rooster cries
In the witching hour
You can feel the power

An Enchantment
05:33
|
|||
A moment was all it took to feel alive
A look into your eyes made me feel inside.
The scent of lilacs warmed by your skin
Was as delicate as your touch had been
If ever there was a spell
That could catch me
It' s one that only you could cast.
Only you.
The wind blows leaves helplessly through the air
They dance like fae on an autumn's day.
Today you wore your dress, the one I adore
And you smile at me, you know, that I am yours
If ever there was a spell
That could catch me
It' s one that only you could cast.
Only you.
And in this dream you take me by the hand
Take me for who I am and understand
I watch you put a flower into your hair
It glows in the sunlight causing me to stare
If ever there was a spell
That could catch me
It's one that only you could cast.
Only you.

Morgana's Delight
04:20
|
|||
She slipped on her dress,
Laced up her boots,
Cinched on her corset.
She applied her makeup,
Spiked up her hair,
Then put on her lipstick.
She adorned herself
With bracelets and rings
And finally her favorite necklace.
She looked in the mirror
And with a sly little grin
She headed out to the club.
Another night of perfect delight
Morgana's favorite attraction.
Another night of perfect delight
Morgana's favorite impulsion.
She walked in and found
The place was jumping;
The DJ was playing her song.
The men came to greet her,
The women took notice
And invited her over to them.
After some drinks
She started to dance
That grabbed all their attention.
Another little grin
Appeared on her face
As she moved to the rhythm.
Another night of perfect delight
Morgana's secret diversion.
Another night of perfect delight
Morgana's secret obsession.
By the end of the night
It was her delight
That she had so many offers.
With many objections
She left on her own
With only that sly little grin.
When she got home
She threw off her coat
And fell on top of her bed.
The next thing she knew
A purring little face
Was demanding her attention
Another night, of perfect delight
Morgana's private affection.
Another night, of perfect delight
Morgana's private elation.

Children of Gaia
04:51
|
|||
We're drilling and spilling
Fracking and melting
We're suffocating, Mother Nature.
There are holes in the ozone
Oceans of garbage
And deforestation, life's in danger.
She's beckoning, it's not too late
Mother forgive us.
She's beckoning, it's not too late
Mother forgive us.
If we fall, if we fail
Where do we go?
We are the children of Gaia
If we fall, if we fail
What do we do?
We are the children of Gaia
Water is rising
Permafrost is melting
It's getting hotter
And life's in danger.
The weather rages
From the climate changes
Causing extinction
Of Mother Nature
She's beckoning, it's not too late
Mother forgive us.
She's beckoning, it's not too late
Mother forgive us.
If we fall, if we fail
Where do we go?
We are the children of Gaia
If we fall, if we fail
What do we do?
We are the children of Gaia
