September 04:00
I built my summer house inside a lion's mouth My fear consumed me there, grandfather's rocking chair A tale of war and peace inside the king of beasts And looking for release threw my hopes to the east The rising sun was there for me A guiding light to carry me to you And as a tired prayer fell from my lips I broke free of the lion's grips Another perfect day, born in the month of may I just can't wait 'til June to fall in love with you And darling in July, your face I'll memorize And in the August heat, we will make love so sweet September I will wait for you, I will not hesitate to follow through And my heart won't beat a single beat until the next time our lips meet September in the evening, September in the evening Honeymoon and Cherry dreaming, I won't let go of this feeling Of September in the evening, when the world is safe and sleeping I won't let go of this feeling, I won't let go of this feeling

Guinevere 02:39
Guinevere, I saw you in the apple orchard Stealing honey from the bees And I heard your laughter in the ever-after Floating high above the trees Did you care to notice how the flowers loved you? You are the first day of spring. Did you stop to listen to the humming swallows? You're the melody they sing. Oh, oh, oh you've got it darling Come on give it all to me I told you I loved you in the cemetery Your eyes stared in disbelief I know that you're promised to another lover But your heart belongs to me Oh, oh, oh you've got it darling Come on give it all to me When the kingdom falls from our indiscretion My heart will still be your possession Your lips still speak of confession But we'll never learn our lesson

In the channel I witnessed the end and the creation All along the crater, crooked crows and creeping vines Soaking in the summer's sweet and sorrowful sedation I watched as the sun was buried in the sands of time Are you waiting for me on the east bank of the river? Are you wading out into the beautiful abyss? I have only known you as a thought escaping my mind I can't seem to find you but I know that you exist. In the still valley's breach Between the end and the creation I heard our children speak In golden tongues When will our spirit's meet? A journey through a constellation Healing our wounded feet And burning lungs You will find the answers In the catacombs You will find the secrets Underneath your feet We are temporary Like the Cherry Blossom Petals beautiful but torn off gently in the breeze

You turned your eyes into me Dark as the winter solstice I heard the creaking floorboards Sing of our self destruction I watched you wear a smile Bright as a napalm jungle I heard the scorched earth whisper We will give up the struggle We’ve got antlers on our heads (say you’ll take me as I am) All the living and the dead (in the darkness holding hands) Born of soil and of sun (flow like streams into the sea) Waiting for the end to come (spirits go on endlessly) In the mirror Beard full of leaves Looking down at Claws on my feet I can feel the future calling What do all of these visions mean? Love me like a comet burning Crashing down and stirring the sea I can feel the future calling What do all of these visions mean?

Nectar 03:42
We were falling stars Burning in a blaze Peeling back the dark Turning Night today Always searching for our heaven We were all alone In the midnight air Not a living soul That could see us there Show the way to where the sweetness waits Honeybees and hummingbirds search But I think we found it, I think we found it I will be waiting for you in the garden All of the clovers soon will be dying But in the mean time we can have each other Somewhere in the meantime you will find me there But in the meantime we can be together Somewhere in the meantime Show the way to where the sweetness waits Honeybees and hummingbirds search But I think we found it, I think we found it

Segue 01:35
Even when we live we aren't alive Even when we're dead we do not die We live in a garden that weeds have overgrown I will peel the moss away from your fragile bones In the darkest corners of your mind Thunderbirds shout blindly to the wild I will build a tower up that will reach so high Even when the sun burns out you will light the sky
7.
Ghost Dance 03:20
Let’s dance Wake the sleeping forest Shedding all our regrets Like our aging skin Meet me In the still of evening Churning up the calm breeze Into fiery winds Hidden in the webs Of our children’s dream catchers An answer for the call The rise before the fall The fear within us all Circling round the earth In a flurry of moonbeams We cast upon the ground Swallowed in the sound Turn it all around Show me your ghost dance Teach me how to ghost dance Show me your ghost dance And throw me to the wolves You came To me in a day dream Stirring souls and raising Spirits from the grave Hold me Move me like gravity Shake me like the thunder Rock me like the waves

Wildebeest 03:34
Don't I recognize you from somewhere? I saw paintings of you in a cave. Painted red with berries down at the estuary I saw you dancing full of life. At the water drinking, what thoughts are you thinking? I wanna get inside your mind. Wildebeest, run from me. Lying down in the weeds Waiting so patiently All your fears and beliefs Let's play hide and go seek Beneath Apollo's sun I went out for a hunt You know me from your dreams Let's play hide and go seek Wildebeest, run from me. We were dancing in the prairies Lightning flowing through our bodies Reborn in the form of weather Storms rolling over the desert We were clapping, stomping our feet Thunder shaking through the buildings Reborn in the form of weather Storms rolling over the desert

Owls 02:46
We were walking in a day dream all our time just passing don't you know that we were Owls hiding in our hollows waiting for the night time waiting for the sunset Tvs playing only static long forgotten attics full of waiting memories Til we saw the life we could lead, breathed the air we could breathe with rejoicing lungs I will defy the elemental creatures of the night You will be mine, forever and until the end of time. Owls full of foolish wisdom we repeat the question "who" into the midnight. One day we will know the answer we will know the truth that's hidden in the starlight I will defy the elemental creatures of the night You will be mine forever and until the end of time

By the light of Babylon Lay me on the shore Let me drown in the decay Restless nevermore In the dirt, sweet paradox Carves our marble bones Dying for a taste of life Dying to go home At the sight of burning light I felt the fall of Babylon All our lives slaves to the hive Redemption in the resistance In the moonlight, we will rise In the moonlight, parasites
