Leviathan

Last night I had a dream
I swallowed all my teeth
Same dream that I had dreamed
For forty nights before
Forty days out on the waves
Your black skies, Your constant rain
I see no signs of change,
Can't take this anymore
You'll never get back home, never get back home
Today I'm wide awake
And strapped to a burning stake
Shipwrecked from my mistakes,
Got caught up in the swells
I'm passing islands
I'm chasing sirens
I saw Leviathan
Guarding the gates to Hell,
So i said, You'll never get back home, never get back home
I heard the bell toll
For all our wasted souls
The golden coast
Fades in the horizon
The rain fell on all of us, we took the sun for granted

Come Out Tonight
03:01

Brush off the dust from your sleeping bones
Wrap up your skin in your brightest tones
Don't make excuses, don't stay home
Come outside
Hey, come out tonight
Oh, we'll bring the stars to life
Hey, come out tonight
I wanna hold you tight
Wake up, Wake up
Jump out of bed
Come out and play with the moonlight instead
Transplant the dreams tucked safe in your head
Into this life
Hey, come out tonight
Oh, we'll bring the stars to life
Hey, come out tonight
I wanna hold you tight
There may come a day
When we trade out the sun for the rain
You can run for shelter or stay
Don't come looking for me
Yeah, you'll know where I'll be
I'll be soaked to the core
Heaven falling on me
There's a truth in the storms
That with each strike of lightning I see
So come on, come on
Dance a little closer baby
Come on, come on
All night long
Come on, come on
Dance a little closer
Gonna take you home

You wrote
Down the word "forever" on a note
And stuck it in a bottle by the shore
Said that you could ask for nothing more
It sailed
Topsy turvy floating on the waves
What a way to spend its summer days
Sadly it was sucked into the sea
A message that was meant for you and me
Come back to me, come back to me.
So I carved our names carefully into a tree
The wise Old Oak that grows beside the stream
Once upon a time inside a dream
The Stars
Shined a kind of Green that matched your eyes
A shade that I will always recognize
A courtesy that left me much obliged
Come back to me, come back to me.

Time Before Time
03:49
|

Silent as the man in the moon
Violent as a brushfire's roar
Deep within this living forest
Ivy covering the door
There's a secret garden waiting
Just beyond the courtyard wall
We've Been stuck inside all winter
Can't you hear the Bluebirds Call
There's a ghost that haunts these sidewalks
Trapped inside the streetlights glow
Watching all the weary wanderers
Shuffling their feet below
There's a face inside my mirror
Searching for a simpler time
All the plants are worn and withered
We could bring them back to life
We could bring them back to life.
Before the sunset, Before the sunrise
Before the Earth Turned, A Time Before Time
Before the Flames Burned, Before the Night Skies
Before the Earth Turned, A Time Before Time

Carry The Lantern

Carry the Lantern over the hills
Carry the Lantern Home
Carry the Lantern, protect the flame
Carry the Lantern Home.
Share with the People
Give them the Light
It will not hurt the fire
Follow the path hidden in the night
Follow the Holy Sky
Carry the Lantern over the Hills
Carry the Lantern Home
Carry the Lantern, protect the flame
Carry the Lantern Home.

Ancient Eyes
02:19

When you give to me
Your ancient eyes
The clouds come calling
Drums will shake the hills
And beat the sky till stars come falling
All the sacred scrolls
Reveal themselves
And share their meaning
Lungs inside the earth
Will be reborn
And begin breathing
I left you on the front porch steps
Sleeping inside September
The summer grass bowed to the breeze
The fire died down to embers
In the small hours of the evening
When the trees are waving
You came upon my wretched soul
To see that it needs saving
I once watched you wade into a sea
Of endless dreaming
Electricity
Flowed from the waves into your being
Rivers of red wine
Crash on the shore
Inside your young veins
Voices Haunt our house
And echo on
Into the refrain
I left you on the front porch steps
Sleeping inside September
The summer grass bowed to the breeze
The fire died down to embers
In the hours of the evening
When the trees are waving
You came upon my wretched soul
to see that it needs saving

Grandfather
Tell me how it used to be
Grandmother, make sure my face is clean
Time travelers,
You saw the fall of man
But stuck around to watch him get up again
you wanted it bad enough to last
Grandfather
let me try to ease your pain
give some relief to your aching frame
Grandmother
all the tears your eyes have held
all that joy wrapped up inside that fragile shell
you wanted it bad enough to last
you found romance in the moonlight
you found hope in the sun
you found more than enough when you had
when you had none
you found comfort in each other and the Family that you made
you found God's grace and miracles, in every passing day
you wanted it bad enough to last
there's static on the television
and wisdom in your hands
a seed becomes a tree
a tree becomes a seed again
you wanted it bad enough to last
