Airflows

Borne on the airflows of an efflux of time
Attempting to decipher a purpose from the scripture
Acknowledging the concrete walls and shadows far behind
Yet anticipating some kind of rapture
Bleakness has come upon the pavement
And the walk continues, yet still in a haze
At times we stood still in divine amazement
The discovery of this newfound gaze
I seem to be left with my perception.
Knowledge has not yet taken shape.
This world allows for many misconceptions.
And now Man does surely shed the cape.
Even though we face loss of sense of place
in this fiery blaze of the airflows
We’ll cast you into night, let your soul take flight -
achieving second sight - on the airflows
The only truth is change - it falls beyond the range
That we’ve come to know and understand
And paths do twist and turn, buildings always burn
And the pastures new lie before our eyes
Never ever fear - head held high, we're here
Listen to the wind, the airflows

Hibernation
05:45

Come rest your legs, you’ve walked for ages
Constricted by the clockwork cages
I'm just a soul in hibernation
But this will be the right occasion
To open my eyes
See how time flies
When you sleep
A few millennia have passed now
Time has left but a slight wrinkle near my eyebrows
I bet you thought you were the lone one
You look so mystified, please hold on.
Please look at my face
Softly gaze
You’ll find I’m real
In a space where time is far beneath us
We embrace an endless bliss for dreamers
But softly reality speaks
Dreams fade and sleep does cease
It seems the streets have come to life now
The noise of people cuts like knives now
Was I a recluse in a tree then?
Trying to dream that I was free then?
And so I open my mind
Leave myself behind
And see

Wind Fields

There are tears in the ocean
And evil in motion
There's no proof of yesterday
Silence is underway
O, Earth
How you keep me at bay
How I wish I could stay
But my mind has brought me wind fields
And a soft drop is falling
Where waterfalls, all in their prime
Took for granted the seeds
That long ago were planted
Now even old Earth
Is just no place to stay
Now that life's gone away
And my life must be in wind fields.

Left Behind
02:54
|

A forest of the mind unfolds
As we uncover souls
They're left behind, they cannot find themselves
A shadow is what they cling on to
And yet - what are they?
Now we advance - the path behind
has vanished long ago
We left behind the shadows to the void
The pastures of tomorrow we will seek
And yet - what are we?
We are striving to be worthy
In the end it leaves us empty
In a sense we are the lost ones
And it's really far too late now to turn back

I Am Sam Hill

I am Sam Hill
I’m top of the bill
A mind of no matter
With time to kill
Unfettered and pure
I've crawled 'cross the moor
Not distracted by the moon
nor the smell of manure
Like many a hunter
I was torn asunder
By the weight of a mountain
Too easy to climb
So I’ve chosen the path
Of disillusion and wrath
No shortage of digits
In the dark reign of math
Contradiction and paradoxes shout
I'm descending straight into madness now.
No more will I cling
To the memory of spring
'Cause now, only now,
does the firebird sing
Adolescence has left me far behind
Now departure - we have a world to find.

Moonlight & Firelight
06:49
|

|
As I walk
On the path
Cautiously I’m treading
Seeing all
Gazing
Gazing at the ceiling
Would the sky ever betray me?
Would the rocks on which I stand
ever crumble and decay
and abandon me in limbo with a grin?
Shining now
the moon so bright -
illuminating streets.
And the lakes are graced
by these vague
reflections of the moonlight.
And I think I’ve lived so far away.
Within my very skull, only now I see this sight,
this illusive lunar night,
this constant light
There’s quite a world I’ve yet to know
Now the mist quite like a bird has flown.
With a smile, a friendly wave of sorts
I bid welcome
To the land of thought and spectacle
Where the once dim senses now play on
Admiration of the fellow one and the firelight blaze on
Silently
Quietly
Ghostly echoes in the street
Listening
Patiently
Waiting for the answer to ring out
But the echo soon will cease
And one day we'll have to be at peace
Though the universe is vast
And what we build upon the past
May fall anew
Fall anew...

Aer Into Aether
09:03
|
|||
|
Passing through the pages
Flying through the ages
Airborne soul reliever
Headlong - Aer into Aether
Wearily I traverse the maze
Trying to conjure up some vision of somebody's face
Wearily I traverse the maze
Trying to figure out how I've ended up in this place
But I’m late, eternal.
And from Aer I float ever on.
