"beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities"

edited May 2011 in Lyrics I Love
I have come curiously close to the end, down
Beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole,
Defeated, I concede and
Move closer
I may find comfort here
I may find peace within the emptiness
How pitiful

It's calling me...

And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping
The moon tells me a secret - my confidant
As full and bright as I am
This light is not my own and
A million light reflections pass over me

Its source is bright and endless
She resuscitates the hopeless
Without her, we are lifeless satellites drifting

And as I pull my head out I am without one doubt
Don't wanna be down here feeding my narcissism.
I must crucify the ego before it's far too late
I pray the light lifts me out
Before I pine away.

So crucify the ego, before it's far too late
To leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical,
And you will come to find that we are all one mind
Capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable.
Just let the light touch you
And let the words spill through
And let them pass right through
Bringing out our hope and reason ...
before we pine away.

    Magnum Opus:

    River of life, salt of the Earth
    We are the children of unseen worlds
    In this arena the strongest survives
    But only intact if they stay true to life

    And touched by a sparkle, a cool fire burns
    The flame is a guest but it has to return
    To its kingdom, its arising
    To its source

    The mystery lives in crystal and cell
    Untouchable real as the heartbeat itself
    The immanent life, an eminent line
    A journey more directional than defined

    A resonance ringing, a midnight sun burns
    What’s said by the words is what silence confirms
    The media of senses, of heart and of mind
    In worlds of the moment, the past left behind
    It leaves me all breathless, it feels so complete
    The heavens so still and the Earth so concrete
    And it calls me
    In a whisper
    In a scream

    Like a shadow that’s cast from above
    In this kingdom of flesh and of blood
    A superior allowance rules
    The Magnum Opus of life

    Calling for some, knowing you’re there
    Hiding away in own worlds, unaware
    Living in darkness, living without
    The beauty of life, of demand inside out

    Now stop the self-torture of doubt and of fear
    The fact that you are says you’re meant to be here
    To feel weak costs nothing, to rise above does
    A future is calling for each one of us
    And if you don’t want it, then die on your own
    I’m gonna proceed even if I’m alone
    ‘Cause I want it
    More than ever
    For us all

    Reasons known, reasons still to be found
    Where there’s will, there are ways, none without
    A superior allowance rules
    The Magnum Opus of life

    And it calls me
    In a whisper
    And it calls me
    In a scream

    When all is said and when all is done
    A moment alone will come to everyone
    To make you consider, to make you see clear
    What you have caused in the time you’ve been here

    It’s beginning
    So may each find what each seeks

  • Don't Let That Sun Go Down:

    Old Chief Joseph gazed with a tearful eye
    Stood on a mountain top watching his people die
    Laid down his rags and his weapons of war and cried
    From this day forever I will fight no more
    Whoa brother, don't let that sun go down
    Whoa brother, don't let that sun go down

    Queen of England lying at death's dark door
    Threw down her crown, she said I won't need this anymore
    With terminal breath, she raised up a cry, she said
    All my possessions for one moment of time
    Whoa mother, don't let that sun go down
    Whoa mother, don't let that sun go down

    What you gonna do - man of flesh and bone
    What you gonna say when it's your turn to go home
    Walk down a road, hear that cold wind moan
    You know in the end there's one walk
    You're gonna walk alone

    Christ at Calvary, nailed to his wooden tower
    Writhing in agony, facing the final hour
    When the sky turned as red as the color of blood he cried out
    Father forgive them for they know not what
    Whoa Father, don't let that sun go down
    Whoa Father, don't let that sun go down

    What you gonna do - man of flesh and bone
    What you gonna say when it's your turn to go home
    When you walk down the road
    Hear that cold wind moan (moan, moan, moan, moan)
    You know in the end there's one walk
    You're gonna walk alone
    You know in the end there's one walk
    You're gonna walk alone
