we can't fight it!
we can't fight it!
no use now, we're moving much too fast
we can't fight it!
we can't fight it!
hold on, 'cause there ain't no turning back
so, into the falls we go
to whatever waits below
holding our heads up high
it's a good day to die!
.....i'm swimming towards a light
maybe i'm alright

come with me my weary child,
cold and all alone
put your little hand in mine
and i will take you home
i will take you home
i will take you home
come with me into the sky,
where the watchers roam
there the others wait for you
let me take you home
i will take you home
i will take you home

again
so good to see you again
i thought it might never end
i sure have missed you my friend
without you
life has been doing me wrong
all of the magic is gone
all of the nights cold and long
i drag my feet
through every day
to reach this bed of mine
close my eyes
and try so hard to find
the way back one more time
this dream
always beginning anew
and maybe this world isn't true
but i'd rather stay here with you
so many
things i have wanted to say
so many cold, lonely days
ever since you went away
i drag my feet
through every day
to reach this bed of mine
close my eyes
and try so hard to find
the way back one more time
take me back

staring through a polished glass...
all the shining stars
wonder could i truly grasp
just how very far?
empty and cold
i miss my home
but i am so long gone
did i choose to take the trip?
did the trip choose me?
how much have i sacrificed
for curiosity?
endlessly vast
aeons roll past
and nothing ever lasts
'tween the lights the distance grows
mystery of time
loneliest of frequencies
wavelength of my mind
the silence roars
i want no more
of life behind these doors

and when the nighttime falls
there is a light that shines
and i know your secret
this whole time i've been watching you
and when the darkness falls
i've got a secret too
and i want to show you
i know you'll like it
i know everything that's burning in your mind
and when the shadows fall
i lie in wait for you
come on and see for yourself
i've know what you want
and i've got what you need
i've got everything that's burning in your mind

A Poison Tree

lyrics from: "A Poison Tree" by William Blake (1757-1827)
from Songs of Innocence and Experience
I was angry with my friend;
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe;
I told it not, my wrath did grow.
And I watered it in fears,
Night & morning with my tears:
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.
And it grew both day and night.
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine.
And into my garden stole,
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning glad I see:
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

The Fallen

all of things you hold so dear
can in an instant disappear
the purist ones are never spared
theirs is a world so far from here
the rains come down
muddy the ground
the years go by
the fallen lay
turning to clay
all of the things you hold so true
can make the coldest bed for you
one day they leave you high and dry
and in that cold cold bed you lie
the winter comes
beating it's drum
so very slow
the fallen lay
beneath the snow
the winter comes
banging its drum
outside your door
your bed is cold
forevermore

The Troubled Road

i have grown so weary
of this troubled road
lord, i'm tired of carrying this load
i'm good and ready
i'm ready to go
crawl under a stone,
lay me down, and rest these aching bones
i may not ever find a light
to guide me though this cold, cold, endless night
but when i reach that river
and pay the river man
he will take me to the promised land
sweet sound of a river
growing in my ears
lord, i know i must be getting near
i'm hearing voices
from up ahead
beckoning to me
come now child, soon you will be free
oh what a struggle it has been
but even the longest night must end
river man i'm ready
i can run no more
take me over to the other shore
