1. The Calling

(инструментал)

2. Sentient Idols

No more fear as we fall into ourselves
Clinging to the beauty that survives
As we lie, weary and stained
Looking through the eyes of the sky
We are dreaming deeper, falling further in
Saving ourselves from Tomorrow's end

Etching words in stone
Praising the new gods among us
Feeling their presence among us
But woe to those who gaze upon them
Who gaze upon them

Feeding on sunlight after the rain
Still waters stir as the air slowly rises
Bathed in new light Blind, innocent and free

Guardians, sentinels

Piecing together our dreams
Crafted into a perfect utopia.

3. Dreaming Deeper

Dreaming deeper, falling further in
Passing time on the other side
So heavy and warm
Like a blanket of air

A landscape of memories
Behind each sunrise
We are all leaves on the same branch
On the same burning tree
Sprouting leaves from my fingers
I see my body below me
Reaching out to ghosts hidden by time

Floating so deep I can hear the singing silence
A single murmur in the air between us
Between us... Between us
A new season takes hold
And a chill numbs my skin

Aurora summons the light
And ghosts fade away
Listen to them quietly call me back
Shadows from another time

Bury me deeper until tomorrow
Past unseen, hidden from my last day
When innocence falls away
For tomorrow I'll hear the mountains sing

4. Finding Our Way Home

The ground weakens beneath our feet
Cold earth hidden from sunlight
Footsteps in the snow
Now our only guide

A weightless transformation
Erasing the footsteps behind us
Swallowing the hunger and fear
Often we had gone this way before

But now we are lost... Now we are lost
Now everything has changed
But it seems we never could be
And never had been anyplace else for very long

We had one single memory a song in our heads
A song of the day that was done
A song about home
...Home

They welcomed us somehow from somewhere far away
Within the mist and the calm
Leading us home
Something familiar and pleasant yet strange to us came
Whose gentle will has changed our fate
Stand with me just a little longer as we find our way home

We follow our faint heartbeats
And the cold breath in front of us
Falling down, crawling... Sleeping... Dreaming
And then we are gone

Then we are gone

5. Convalescence

Say good night and rest your eyes
Please don't let me go
I try each day to come back to you
I'm still in here... Somewhere

Every cell in my body fighting... Healing
Particles of light bleed through the window glass
Speckles shining on my brow
Day after day... Night after night fighting... Dreaming

Hold my hand tight
Don't let me slip away
It's not the end it's only the beginning
For when you wake I'll be by your side

Every breath in my lungs reaching... Leaving
Particles of life bleeding through the window glass
Speckles of dust cover my face

Day after day... Night after night... Fleeting... Leaving
Say good night and rest your eyes
Maintain this vigil
I'm still in here somewhere
For when you wake, I'll be by your side

6. In The Glade

Catch me in my sleep
Sing me a lullaby
Please, don't make a sound
Say goodnight, as we drink in the sky

Dreaming in the glade
Let me catch my breath
Let me find my way
To the only world I've ever known
Running in the glade

I rule my kingdom with a crown of leaves
Hidden by trees and a warm summer breeze
For a day I'm queen of the glade

Catch me in my sleep
Heavy strings pulling me down
I succumb to the weight of the sky
Time is slipping away

Although I try, why can't I remember?
That no one is coming to save me

7. The Air Below The Water

The air below the water
The sky beneath the sea
Waist deep in the tide, I let them take me deeper
I let them take me deeper

Ferried to a darker calm, Within an endless of knowing
Dream fragments gifted from sentient idols
And crafted into supernatural machines

The air below the water
The sky beneath the sea
The dead water savors the salt
Drink deep from the ocean's briny basin
Take my hand, as we drift into water dreaming

Aurora's tune echoes through the waves
Played on ancient pipes a ghostlike trance leads us
Beneath the sun drenched tides

The air below the water
The sky beneath the sea
The light slowly disappearing
Leaving invisible traces as we drift away

8. The Sky Beneath The Sea

In my last breath... there is some small peace
Parting the sky for the bringer of night
Parting the sea for the unmaker of worlds

Water flowing like rain-bled sleep
Water flowing like rain-bled sleep

Fluid embers dancing
Like red ghosts in the sky
Infinite light seeping
Cautiously weaving
Teaching us to be invisible
Wading in the air
Drifting

Remember us when we were whole
I can almost touch you
Still reaching, reaching

So far away, so small
Staring from inside Inside this dream
From another afterlife
Nestling within
Moulding revelations Into life

The sky beneath the sea
The clouds beneath my feet
Never touch the ground
Never make a sound

So far away, you will never see me
So far below the air
Breathing in the water

A crown of stars
For my lunar coronation
Bending the storm to my will

Welcome to the universe
The sky beneath the sea
The clouds beneath my feet
Never touch the ground

9. A Loss For Words

(инструментал)

10. The Sleeping Storm

Blossoming wind
Rising, fading, almost speaking
Their ominous warning
Their fingers weave through my hair

Gray clouds engulf the sun
Above me, the magnificent sky looms
Streaks of lightning, almost painted
Cutting deep through the gloom
Blinding beams
A low resounding moan
Lamenting thunder
Followed by echoing cries And then

A grand chorus of sky spirits sing
Deafening, soothing.
A melody of raindrops
Sing their endless lullaby
Leaves spill water to the soil

Trees sway to the quickening gale
Rain dances in the air
To the crescendo of wind, water and Earth

I can feel the all consuming soul of the sky
Unleashing the downpour upon me
Streams of light breach the waning clouds

To fill me with their ominous strength and mercy
I am the vessel
The storm and I are one

With desperation I persevere I claw my path beneath the surface
To find some rest deep within the Earth
And one day reemerge as a calamity... A deluge
None shall see me coming until it's too late

11. Neither Here Nor There

Like a child in my arms
I'll carry you away
Somehow, somewhere... We will stay
Taking our chances in the sky
With the sun down below us... We will fly

Higher, and higher, like the songbirds above
Higher and higher
Higher and higher
And like a child without love, we will cry... And we will sigh

Like the songbird that sings... Like the bird without wings
And like all living things... We will die
Like a child in my arms
I'll carry you away
We'll find our way home
and forever and a day, we will stay
Like a whisper in your ear and all you hold dear
Like a song in the wind, we will hear

Tomorrow will save us from today
And like the threads of all hope, we will fray
The ultimate fear, that burns from within
That can only be free for a day

Like a child in my arms, I will carry you
Like a child in my arms, I will carry you away
Like the songbird that sings... Like the bird without wings
And like all living things... We will die
Like the songbird that sings
Like all living things we will die
Like all living things we will die

12. So Far Away

So far away
I can never touch you
So far away
Into the void I let you go

Think of a day with no sun
A bond unbroken, yet severed by time
Calling on sentient souls
To find what has been lost

Isolation blurs
Let me find you again
Follow the sound of my voice
Echoing the dreams and memories we shared

So far away
Out of my grasp
Trapped inside the mirror
But still, so far away

Let me find you
Touch you
So follow the sound of my voice

13. Metamorphosis

I am one... and then I am two
And then we are three
Flesh and bone to sand and stone
Stone to sand... to Earth and air
And then to water

Shape and color of the sky
Free to fly, and wish.... and dream
To transform.. to become
I unravel, I dissolve... I remember

My face outlined in the stars
Becoming the night, becoming the stillness
A chill in the air, a breath in the light
I transform... I become... Something else
Someone new

Today into tomorrow
Tomorrow into never
Never into when... and then
Then into now, and over again
Fibers in glass, weaving
Knowing all that is to come
And still remembering nothing

Tears to brine, to salt and wine
Hold me close, but lightly
Something more... Something less

Breathing groans collected in the fog
Sounds to song, and words to air
A wIndless night, with steadily streaming lights
We sing to the stars

Trees sinking, bleeding bark to the grass
Ever changing, evolving, becoming crystal chandeliers
Deep in the hallow, a single child's voice
Calling, crying... Singing
Disappearing in the arms of tomorrow's light
And yesterday's garden

Lustrous gleaming shapes
Paint themselves in the night time breeze
Three shapes inside me... Moving... Dreaming
And then we are two... And then I am one
I transform
I become... Again

14. Stagnation

The open sea calls out my name
Quietly
Yet always the same
Colder, deeper
And yet I remain

As still as a painting
Lost in a memory... Find me

Floating above the waves
Breathing beneath the clouds
Tasting the air around me, still and low
In beams of light, I drift... Save me

Earth and sea embrace between me
Hand in hand, holding me fast
Fringes of seasons pass without change
Stillness awaits
Sleep

Stay close behind me
A whisper away
From flesh to bone to ash
And I'm gone
I'm gone

The steady hand of the sun on my face
I've forgotten myself as I lie here waiting
As still as a painting
Lost in a dream... Take me

Breathing beneath the waves
Scared as a child... Free me
Lost in a wish
Lost in a sunset

15. Closer To The Sun

Time flowing backwards
Ancient rhymes whisper farewell
To the last glimpse of a sunlit world
Descending into yesterday

A golden tapestry stitched into clouds
Radiant and beckoning, waves reflecting
Glimmering on the shore,
Balanced only by the weight of the sky

If I climb the tallest tree
To reach the highest branch
Higher, and higher until I can reach the sky
I can almost touch the sun

Rolling waves crash upon my feet
The warm sand caressing me, holding me
The power of the sea
Falling down, deeper
Covered in beaming sunlight

If I climb the tallest tree
To reach the highest branch
Higher, and higher until I can reach the sky
I can almost touch the sun

Remember when we were young
Innocence held close by the thinnest threads
Arms outstretched, faces glowing
We could almost touch the sun
The rays fall around me
Pushing me down into yellow grass and heavy air

16. Two Trees

Bound to Earth... Tethered to sky
Between two trees... My weary bones rest
Sleeping guardians emerging
From frost kissed cocoons
Between two trees
Dreaming in my starlit meadow

Waiting to swallow the moon
Waiting for the end of the beginning
Leaves fall between two trees
To line my Earthen bed

Gathering my bones with care
Before daylight swallows me whole
Between two trees
Where I convalesce

Inner calmness, inner peace
Undisturbed by time and daylight
Enhanced by dewdrop illuminations
Painted ghosts revive me

Only at night I change
Transform into something new
Molting beneath the stony Earth
My scars overlapping

My new transformation into something wonderful
Face of a doe reflected in the stream
As I sip the splendor around me

17. The Cleansing

Water covers water, shimmering
Streams like fingers flowing
Washing away stone and earth
Shapeless, formless, voiceless
Starting anew

The current below washing over me
Rinsing away the stains from my body
to once again renew it's splendor

The day is gone
We leave our light behind in vain
The stains remain
We wait again for another cleansing.

Youthful sounds growing faint
They vanish
Silent, forgotten

I spread my arms wide to take hold of the world
The warmth and strength I feel for a moment
Taking me under
Drowning me
Making me invisible again
Thus begins my cleansing

The day is gone
We leave our light behind in vain
As the stains remain
We wait again for another cleansing.
An unstained paradise awaits
Dream of me one last time
I'll take your tears, clean and pure
And wait again for another cleansing

18. And The We Disappear

Pretending to be invisible... not pretending
Can you see us in the rain?
Wildflowers hide our faces
Faces hide our senses
Stay...

Distance trickles in beneath us
Began as nothing... Then, nothing
Hold still and listen for the quiet
Tempting a sting of songs from our lips
Stay...

Disturb our sleep, and lead us back to nowhere
Look around, and find our hands joined to theirs
Where can I see you? Where have you been
Tomorrow comes, and brings the last glimpse of somewhere

Pretending to be invisible... Not pretending
Can you see them in the rain?
Sun showers hide their faces
Faces hide their senses
Stay...

Tell me you remember how to open your eyes
And see behind our faces
Before we have to hide again
Somewhere

Time to leave... Time to forget
Light and shadow chasing us nowhere
Falling again, into somewhere... Where we stay sometime
And then we disappear
Tell me you remember
