1. EVADING

Are my dreams a sign?
Are my dreams just you in disguise?
Will this heart find?
Will this heart be denied?
Endlessly I still search,
Endlessly, forever onward?
Are my prayers heard?
Are my prayers meaningless words?
My God! Hear my prayer!!

This young heart is scared,
Scared by a fate that we share.
Visions of you unclear,
Existence of you I should fear.
Are my prayers heard?
Are my prayers empty words?
My God! Hear my prayer!
Oh my lord, can't you hear me?

2. RESIDUAL PRESENCE

There is nothing left of me,
There is nothing that you see,
All I am is memory,
And that is all you will be.
Nothing ever lasts forever.

Everything that I have won,
All the hearts I have shunned,
Like a ghost I leave you stunned,
Alone in bed, wretched, feeling numb.
Nothing ever lasts forever.

Looking at me with mourning eyes,
I know your pain as you cry,
My thirst for love, my need to fly,
My freedom, my soul's desire.
Nothing ever lasts forever.

3.ON THE RIVER

Ever flowing,
Never slowing,
To my true heart you spoke.

Flooding my senses,
Plaintive repentance,
Your voice is calling,
Deep and enlightening,
Feels like I'm walking on water,
Down on the river.
One day, I may find you there.

4. MOONSHINE

I gaze on the moon as she shines on me,
So bright in my eyes, a heart so clear and blinding.

Shining on my face,
Paled by my disgrace.

Like a star, from heaven you burned and fell,
Mesmerized, I glowed underneath your spell,
Her shadows, they seem to whisper to me,
Devotions that echo the seas,
My shadows, they seem to reveal in me,
My oceans of lies and deceit.

Shining on my face,
Paled by my disgrace,
Eclipsing, she has fallen,
And time has dimmed and darkened,
The moon no longer shines for me.
