1. EMPTY STREETS

Dawn is a spell to be broken
The night is for drifting on the seas
As the fire becomes cold
There's a story to be told
Life's embers floating on the breeze

Don't pull me down through your sorrow
I cannot drown these pitied depths
We did not choose to live this way
But we must make our own freedom

Pull the curtain and let the light shine in
Blow the cobwebs from your mind
Spring has sprung and we must follow her
Leave the winter far behind

Cold calling, hang up that call
Storm brewing, take shelter in my arms
Winds blow through those empty streets
Shadows growing, illuminate your mind
Death closing, take a different road
Winds blow through those empty streets

Pull the curtain and let the light shine in
Blow the cobwebs from your mind
Spring has sprung and we must follow her
Leave the winter far behind

Winds blow through those empty streets

Cold calling, hang up that call
Storm brewing, take shelter in my arms
Winds blow through those empty streets
Shadows growing, illuminate your mind
Death closing, take a different road
Winds blow through those empty streets

Don't pull me down through your sorrow
I cannot drown these pitied depths
We did not choose to live this way
But we must make our own freedom

Pull the curtain and let the light shine in
Blow the cobwebs from your mind
Spring has sprung and we must follow her
Leave the winter far behind


2. SUBSTANCE VORTEX

You're in there somewhere
The shell that you've become
3rd eye dilated
Your world's become one. You.

Down dark corridors
To the basement of your soul
Hide there in silence
Addiction consumes

No one else in there
Only yourself can break you free
Can't be my brother's keeper
These walls are your own

Just one more fix
And everything's fine
Addiction, your only friend
And he's here to stay

Take a walk outside your substance vortex

Outside, the world turning
As you wither deep inside
Caught in a cycle, self inflicted

You're in there somewhere
The shell you've become
3rd eye dilated
Your world's become one

Take a walk outside your substance vortex

Outside, the world turning
As you wither deep inside
Caught in a cycle, self inflicted

You're in there somewhere
The shell you've become
3rd eye dilated
Your world's become one. You.


3. RESPECT MY SOLITUDE

Space gazing
Passing the time of life
People watching
Their dreams mine to behold

Respect my solitude
Content in my own mind
My energies renewed
The present redefined

Time wasting
Hours pass too slow
I'm waiting
For the journey to begin

Respect my solitude
Content in my own mind
My energies renewed
The present redefined

Frustration, prisoner to schedules
In chains, my freedom essential
Days wasted, the time will not return

Life-changing
Each time something new
Contemplating
Which path to tread

Respect my solitude
Content in my own mind
My energies renewed
The present redefined


4. CLOUD SEEDER

Cloud seeder, all is for you
Without your rain
This desert could not bloom

I'm waiting for you to arrive
Anticipating cascading skies

So soothing, to cleanse my fears
Life-giving is in your tears

She brings the storm

So soothing, to cleanse my fears
Life-giving is in your tears

From nowhere
Black clouds strike out the sun
She brings the storm
Thunder, lightning, torrential rain

So soothing, to cleanse my fears
Life-giving is in your tears

Cloud seeder, all is for you
Without your rain
This desert could not bloom


5. STILL YEARNING

Arise from our slumber
To greet the new dawn
Far we have wandered
Our journey carries on
New ventures await

Flowing softly in the new wind
From here I can see the stars
Waiting for new dimensions

Full of passion, my new soul
Takes me further beyond this night

I promise to keep you in my heart
Now I am gone but shall return anew

Keep growing stronger every day
Embrace the new, meet me halfway

Still learning, still yearning

I promise to keep you in my heart
Now I am gone but shall return anew


6. STRIKE UP WITH THE DAWN

I keep pushing through
Chasing dreams of yesterday
But your times are gone
You live them through your son

Midnight has passed you by
My tomorrow is just beginning

Keep pushing

Youth has faded
We cannot hide the lines
Living through your progeny
Was this your destiny?

Midnight has passed you by
But my tomorrow is just beginning

Keep pushing

Have you succumbed?
Are you defeated?
Is that fire inside you gone?
My new chorus strikes up with the dawn!

Time is to take
Not foolishly give away

Keep pushing


7. TRANSCENDING YESTERDAYS

The time is here to awake
Dreams now fade, dark forsakes
I am back with the world now
I wasn't gone for too long
Consumed by aching pain
Now I must be strong

Prepare to fly again
Transcending yesterdays
Return? I can't say when
Perhaps we'll find a way

Back on my own
No pressure to conform
Living cheek by jowl
Where conflict is born
Breathing deep, all now done
But cannot wait for my return!

Prepare to fly again
Transcending yesterdays
Return? I can't say when
Perhaps we'll find a way

Life now slow
Again I hear the call
"Come to me..."

Ready to go back into the fray
Back to a womb of drunken chaos
Adrenaline rising, guides my way
I cannot wait for my return!

Prepare to fly again
Transcending yesterdays
Return? I can't say when
Perhaps we'll find a way


8. CEASE THE DAY

Dawn is a spell to be broken
The night is for drifting on the seas
As the fire becomes cold
There's a story to be told
Life's embers floating on the breeze

We never will return to this day
A memory is all you'll bear
Life's seasons changing fast
So cherish 'til the last worn care
Overcome

Dawn is a dreamer to be woken
The darkness a time to turn away
When the memories you hold
Are worth more than foolish gold
Hear the calling
Time to cease the day
