Come on Down

Come on down with your love and dance to the drum of your heartbeat
Enter into the atmosphere
Be one with the one that you love
Pass the time with me, you've a tale to tell
And you must know all is well, all is well
Fear not the whispers in the stillness
Drink, breathe your heart’s desire
‘Til they snuff your fire

The Grave (live version)
06:59
|

The grave was marked “Be kind to your heart.
The loneliness will tear you apart.”
The ground had not yet settled
Scattered around lay lily petals
Deep in the night, I saw Aurora’s light
The shades of green filled me with delight
Someone appeared, encroaching
My breath was stilled, their steps approaching
In silent awe, I feared what I saw
What had been borne of darkness and naught
Her image stood before me
The skin she wore of my own body
Forces after dark, into dawn, life moves on
The grave was marked “Be kind to your heart.
The loneliness will tear you apart.”
The ground had not yet settled
Scattered around lay lily petals
Forces after dark, the loneliness will tear you apart

Winter Panes

In the vast alone I call my winter home
The panes of ice enclosing
Lean on me not, lean on me not
I’d break by morning
And if I should break, your lifeless body take
Beneath the frozen water
Lean on me not, lean on me not
We’d stay there forever
Walking under there, I’ll show you places where
The waves above can’t harm you
Lean on me not, lean on me not
Lest darkness surround you
In the vast alone, inside my winter home of ice
I hear you calling
“Lean on me not, lean on me not
I’ll break in the morning.”
Lean on me not
Lean on me not

Tether (live version)
04:25
|

|
Walk around in circles
Our shadows lap each other’s ankles
In rhythm, in time
We breathe in the other’s carbon dioxide
Tethered together
Whether or whether we know
Around in circles
Our shadows lap each other’s ankles
In rhythm, in time
We breathe in the other’s carbon dioxide
Tethered tethered together
Whether or whether we know

Spiritual Bloodletting
04:50
|
|||
|
Eyes forward
Spotting prey
See the look of fright before the light pulls you away
There’s a certain understanding that makes all of this alright
Wolves to drain your blood, anemic
Tuck the babies in at night
Corrections to your mind, body
You are never right
Spiritual bloodletting of the eternally contrite
There is no brokenness where a full heart can’t be found
There are no more secrets where the truth abounds
If you want to know the answer to the pounding at your door
Never answer to the blood wolves
Let his blood upon the floor

Feathers on the wind will fall
Tethers to the world be gone
Drink the dew of night
Cast away the evening light
Vigours wane at close of day
Withered, dank decay
Peace, peace unwinding
Peace, peace, unwind, resign
Peace, peace, freedom
Vigours wane at dusk and trust what might
We will then see what is to be,
Trembling, lingering at night
Unending hour

Letting Go
07:23
|

|
We were far from home
Our kin was gone
Sombre, silent, hushed
Pain had known no succor
Thirst had known no slake
On and on, but we were not alone
We are not alone
We were far from letting go
Far from the deep’s swallow
On a grassy knoll far away there
We are not alone
Though some have lain below ne’er again seen
We are not alone
