1. SURRENDER TO THE SEA

My desperation stalls me
Each move a fighting chance to see
Through veils of burning water
Dark seas envelope me

Breaking waves upon the sodden sand
Holding me down as i reach
Grasping for a quickly fading land
Enshrouding me

Push through a liquid sand dune
Soft stones to bury me in sleep
Echoes a distant savior
Of shells and living things

Breaking waves upon the sodden sand
Holding me down as i reach
Grasping for a quickly fading land
Enshrouding me

Painting the sky with silver
Colors have faded slow in grey
Touch down in distant waters and you are touch me

Bring the slow breath i bear
To one last man to see me through
This is a broken wave to carry you

Breaking waves upon the sodden sand
Holding me down as i reach
Grasping for a quickly fading land
Enshrouding me...


2. SURYA NAMASKARA

Surya Namaskara
Oh come with me now
For your love is mine
I am the Wintersong
You are my instrument
Let us play in the darkness forever


3. TRIANON

Here I can breathe
Safe from the scorn
I them crying
But from afar

Write me a secret letter
Hidden in a rose
I will be here on soiled knees
A prisoner of the world I sewed

An escape from all I know
Holding on to one last dream
When I wake I realize
I am alone

Write me a secret letter
Hidden in a rose
I will be here on soiled knees
A prisoner of the world I sewed

And in the night you may hear my desperate cry
From distant halls now dark
Calling from beynd the walls of Trianon
Where as my life gone


4. ANGUS OG'S FIDDLE

While sitting under shady trees
Like those who where there before me
I whittle out of this old tree
A singer of grace and beauty

Throughfields it will cry out your name
And spell out your future in flames
While stirring the pastures beyond
A misty terrain of mountains

Listen closely to the blowing of the wind
It's the whisper of aengus og

A passage to antiquity a relic to all that can see

With each pass i'm shedding it's skin
It breathes now with my heart within

Through fields it will cry out your name
And misty terrain of mountain

Listen closely to the blowing of the wind
It's the whisper of aengus og


5. FADING EMPIRE

Castles of red gold and green
Falling without warning uselessly

Waking to a standstill
In my backyard
I have watched it whither
Can nature carry on

Ivy with a dew covered train
Reaching to the treetops stretched in vain

Waking to a standstill
In my backyard
I have watched it whither
Can nature carry on

Empire of the green hand
Was a sacred thing
I have watched it whither
Can nature carry on


6. GHOST OF THE CRESCENT MOON

The moon looks to the ocean
The ocean looks to the sand
On a dune sits a woman
With five roses in hand

And she plucks every color
And she counts every thorn
And she cries out to starlight
With every passing storm

Won't someone save me, i've been waiting here for so long
Please take these tears carefully
And write my name across your shores

Castaways at daybreak
Floating on separate scores
A withered rose won't save them
A candle burned out long ago

Nothing matters now,
Take this summer rain
And wash your heart
Magic tiresome place
Where you put all your fears
Have locked their doors

The moon looks to the ocean
The ocean looks to the sand
On a dune sits a woman
With five roses in hand


7. FLOW MY TEARS

Flow my tears, fall from your springs,
Exiled for ever, let me mourn
Where night's black bird her sad infamy sings,
There let me live forlorn

Down vain lights, shine you no more,
No nights are dark enough for those
That in despair their lost fortunes deplore;
Light doth but shame disclose

Never may my woes be relieved
Since pity is fled
And tears and sighs and groans my weary days
Of all joys have deprived

From the highest spire of contentment
My fortune is thrown
And fear and grief and pain for my deserts
Are my hopes, since hope is gone

Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell,
Learn to condemn light;
Happy, happy they that in hell
Feel not the world's despite.


8. Sailing alone

In the cool morning
The flowers greet the sea
With virgin faces
Smiling as we walked by

This chance was gone
Even before it began
And this is how it ends

Sailing gusty wild and lonely seas
Riding for my destiny
I'll let fate label me
With all the she brings to me daringly

With empty kisses
I slowly faded away
Empty hours wasted
With every tear came
But no more now
Now that you are gone
I'm finally free
From fear

All things must pass
But no i will not cry
Because i still have me


9. LULLABY (THE WICKERMAN - SOUNDTRACK COVER)

Sleep close and fast.


10. BATTLE OF KADESH

Swirling clouds of crimson and fury
Crushing sounds of chariot speed
In this place of land and duty
Kiss the king while he sleeps


11. SLEEP NOW, QUIET FOREST

Sleep now
The misty touch of green
The leafy eaves
The tender moss
The trees
The summer dusk gleams in gold

You sleep now
You sleep now
You sleep now
And rest

Soft changing light
New shadows
Under beams
White flowers close
And wait for night

You sleep now
You sleep now
You sleep now

And rest
