Phoenix Rising
06:01
|
|||
|
In the land of paradise, somewhere far beyond the sun.
Inconceivable beauty and perfection that cannot be undone.
At dawn she sings her farewell song.
So beautiful and haunting it stops the sun.
A spark falls from the sun god’s sky
devouring the phoenix in a mighty fire.
Like a phoenix rising from the ash adorned.
Fiery radiance of divine red and gold.
Shining eyes of sapphire blue,
that melt the darkness in you.
Our love bound by a thread through time,
Our love bound by a thread through time,
Like the phoenix it will rise again… ah
As we find each other in each lifetime.
In the land of paradise, somewhere far beyond the sun.
Is my love for you that cannot die, it cannot be undone.
A thousand years has come and gone, but my love for you still remains.
In the realm of fire and sun we are still one.
Like a phoenix rising from the ash adorned.
Fiery radiance of divine red and gold.
Shining eyes of sapphire blue,
that melt the darkness in you.
Our love bound by a thread through time,
Our love bound by a thread through time,
Like the phoenix it will rise again… ah
As we find each other in each lifetime.
From the immortal realm she comes
with tears that heal the wounds of man.
She spreads her wings of fire and gold,
and sings of a love bound through time of old.
Stronger than ever, stronger than ever. More powerful than before.
Stronger than ever, stronger than ever. More powerful than before.
Now, is our time to soar.
Like a phoenix rising from the ash adorned.
Fiery radiance of divine red and gold.
Shining eyes of sapphire blue,
that melt the darkness in you.
Our love bound by a thread through time,
Our love bound by a thread through time,
Like the phoenix it will rise again… ah
As we find each other in each lifetime.

Dream Spell
05:10
|
|||
|
Like a ghost through walls, you came to me.
Hypnotic eyes like a midsummer’s eve.
Transformed in beauty to deceive.
A fallen angel I can’t perceive.
I feel a shiver on my skin, on my skin, on my skin.
Under my dream spell you’ll never wake.
The fairy tale of lies has no escape.
Like a dragon’s dream trapped in my head.
Fantasies of darkness flow and ebb.
Darkness of night is coming fast,
Shadows of love; a ghost of the past.
With dragon fire ferocity
you poison my soul like mercury.
I feel a shiver on my skin, on my skin, on my skin.
Under my dream spell you’ll never wake.
The fairy tale of lies has no escape.
Like a dragon’s dream trapped in my head.
Fantasies of darkness flow and ebb.
As dragon breath evaporates the morning dew.
My dreams of night melt away too.
The heart flower of magic whispers her song,
I drink her sweet nectar and sing along…, along.
Out of this dream spell I can awake.
The fairy tale of lies has an escape.
Like a dragon’s dream trapped in a web.
No more fantasies of darkness in my head.

Thunder
05:42
|
|||
|
Gods pull on their puppet strings.
On the world stage they dance and sing
the tunes to control and break us in.
Masters cast black magic spells
so shadows hide the lies they sell,
Imprisoned by walls we cannot see.
Poisoned minds will never be free.
Poisoned minds are not free.
Can you hear the thunder rumbling?
Clouds of darkness are a-coming,
that ignite fires of fear in you.
Can you hear the thunder rumbling?
Can you feel the storm is coming?
Can you feel it’s burning in you?
Aah…
The truth of our being hidden from us
by the realms of hell that torture us.
Don’t deny what you cannot see.
It’s all we know, we must defend
the system protects us in the end
those who try to set us free must be condemned.
Poisoned minds will never be free.
Poisoned minds are not free.
Can you hear the thunder rumbling?
Clouds of darkness are a-coming,
that ignite fires of fear in you.
Can you hear the thunder rumbling?
Can you feel the storm is coming?
Can you feel it’s burning in you?
Aah…
Can you hear the thunder rumbling?
Clouds of darkness are a-coming,
that ignite fires of fear in you.
Can you hear the thunder rumbling?
Can you feel the storm is coming?
Can you feel it’s burning in you?
Aah…

Blind Faith
05:29
|
|||
|
Sanctus, Sanctus.
With gun in hand, metal midnight blue.
You believe this is what you’re called to do.
With the heart of a lion, so righteous, so true.
Your bullets rip through flesh of women and children too
Blind faith deceives the war in your heart.
The angels weep as the bleeding starts.
Evil has no color. Evil has no creed.
Evil is the ignorant bliss used to justify your deeds.
Blind faith deceives the war in your heart.
The angels weep as the bleeding starts.
Evil has no color. Evil has no creed.
Evil is the ignorant bliss used to justify your deeds.
Sanctus, Sanctus, de inferno liberabis.
You believe you are chosen, like the promised land.
You believe you’re forgiven, that your Eden’s at hand.
But the angel of death sees all your lies,
as bombs fall from heavenly skies.
Angels and demons battle for the heart;
the holy grail of redemption,
Take a leap of faith out of the dark.
Blind faith deceives the war in your heart.
The angels weep as the bleeding starts.
Evil has no color. Evil has no creed.
Evil is the ignorant bliss used to justify your deeds.
Sanctus, Sanctus, de inferno liberabis.
Caeca fides tuum, caeca fides tuum, caeca fides tuum, caeca fides tuum, caeca fides tuum, caeca fides tuum, caeca fides tuum, de inferno liberabis, save us from this hell.

Keepers Of Anarchy
05:34
|
|||
|
Sleep the twilight in my soul,
the reason for this black hole
and contagious gloomy veil of night.
Let the keepers of anarchy bleed themselves dry
Till there’s nothing left but their empty cries.
They will lie, they will cheat, they will misinform.
They will bring mass destruction if we conform.
Open your eyes. Rip off the veil.
Can’t you see, we’re the keepers of this jail.
Sleep the moonlight in my heart
The wounds try to tear us apart,
You the arrow in my heart.
Let the keepers of anarchy bleed themselves dry
Till there’s nothing left but their empty cries.
They will lie, they will cheat, they will misinform.
They will bring mass destruction if we conform.
Open your eyes. Rip off the veil.
Can’t you see, we’re the keepers of this jail.
Reject the industries that indulge their greed,
That rape and plunder the planet we need.
The old value system will crash and burn,
as we bring in the new age the darkness will wane.
Let the keepers of anarchy bleed themselves dry
Till there’s nothing left but their empty cries.
They will lie, they will cheat, they will misinform.
They will bring mass destruction if we conform.
Open your eyes. Rip off the veil.
Can’t you see, we’re the keepers of this jail.

Evil Stains
07:06
|
|||
|
Tell me a story of days gone by
of hate and fear that divided.
The devil drinks to his glorious day
He knows we’ve lost our way.
He knows we’ve lost our way.
Although evil stains,
the truth still remains.
As blinders fall from our eyes,
we fall to knees and weep.
In refusing to see the truth,
the death choosers devalue life.
Kingdoms come and kingdoms go,
even those who rule with fear,
Cannot cheat death when it appears.
Kingdoms come and kingdoms go,
even those who rule with fear,
Cannot cheat death when it appears.
Power, corruption, greed and hate,
The order of the day.
But there’s hope for all who live in fear,
Don’t let your light disappear.
Don’t let your light disappear.
Although evil stains,
the truth still remains.
As blinders fall from our eyes,
we fall to knees and weep.
In refusing to see the truth,
the death choosers devalue life.
Kingdoms come and kingdoms go,
even those who rule with fear,
Cannot cheat death when it appears.
Kingdoms come and kingdoms go,
even those who rule with fear,
Cannot cheat death when it appears.
Evil stains, but the truth remains.
Evil stains, but the truth remains.
Ah….
Tell me a story of days to come,
Of peoples that unite.
In hope and love to heal the pain,
Of a history that divided.
Of a history that divided.
Although evil stains,
the truth still remains.
As blinders fall from our eyes,
we fall to knees and weep.
In refusing to see the truth,
the death choosers devalue life.
Kingdoms come and kingdoms go,
even those who rule with fear,
Cannot cheat death when it appears.
Kingdoms come and kingdoms go,
even those who rule with fear,
Cannot cheat death when it appears.
Kingdoms come and kingdoms go.
Kingdoms come and kingdoms go.
Kingdoms come and kingdoms go.
In the end….we all go.
In the end….we all go.
In the end….we go.
Ah.

Darkness Stares
07:51
|
|||
|
Darkness stares into my soul.
She sees I am not whole.
Afraid, I pretend I cannot see.
I try to deny the darkness in me.
But she reaches in despair.
Embrace compassion not fear.
Inviting her in didn’t feel like a sin.
In silence we sat for a while,
Then she spoke how people fear her smile.
With flawless perfection and elegant charm,
She began to reveal her truth without harm.
I bring hate so you can know love.
I bring fear so you know courage.
I bring despair so you can know hope.
I bring sorrow so you can know joy.
The opposing force in the universe you see…
Without me the beauty of this world would never be.
Darkness spoke unto my soul.
Without me you’re not whole.
I spoke to my friends fear and sorrow,
but they only live to take your tomorrows.
I am so alone,
I’ve even lost my shadow,
But I’ll be here today and I’ll be here tomorrow.
In silence we sat for a while,
Then she spoke how people fear her smile.
With flawless perfection and elegant charm,
She began to reveal her truth without harm.
I bring hate so you can know love.
I bring fear so you know courage.
I bring despair so you can know hope.
I bring sorrow so you can know joy.
The opposing force in the universe you see…
Without me the beauty of this world would never be.
Make friends with me. Make friends with me.
Make peace with me. Make peace with me.
Embrace me. Embrace me. Embrace me. Embrace me.
Embrace me and I’ll leave you be.
Darkness took my hand in hers.
A black rose breaks the curse.
I realized that darkness just like me,
exists for a reason we sometimes can’t see.
Darkness seldom visits anymore,
But I know she’s still there,
in every cold and icy stare.
In silence we sat for a while,
Then she spoke how people fear her smile.
With flawless perfection and elegant charm,
She began to reveal her truth without harm.
I bring hate so you can know love.
I bring fear so you know courage.
I bring despair so you can know hope.
I bring sorrow so you can know joy.
The opposing force in the universe you see…
Without me the beauty of this world would never be.

I Forgive You
04:21
|
|||
|
I forgive you for the truth you didn’t speak
I forgive you for the lies you told yourself
I forgive you for the hurt you caused yourself
I forgive you; you couldn’t love yourself
But I forgive you.
So many times I didn’t speak,
and they thought my silence was weak.
So many times you let them hurt you,
believing their judgments about you.
So many times I didn’t speak,
thought my silence would keep the peace.
So many times I tried to hurt you,
believing life would be better without you
But I forgive you.
I forgive you for all the pain that broke your heart.
I forgive you for the anger that burnt your soul.
I forgive you for not being able to forgive.
I forgive you; you didn’t love yourself,
But I forgive you.
So many times I didn’t speak,
and they thought my silence was weak.
So many times you let them hurt you,
believing their judgments about you.
So many times I didn’t speak,
thought my silence would keep the peace.
So many times I tried to hurt you
believing life would be better without you
So take your time and think about it.
In the darkest corners of your mind there’s a silence which holds the answers to your life.
You’re not alone; I’ve been there too.
I know your pain. Your pain is mine too.
You’re not alone; I’ve been there too.
I know your pain. Your pain is mine too.
I choose to love you for the love still inside your heart.
I choose to love you for the light still in your soul.
I choose to love you, for believing in yourself.
I choose to love you, you’re worthy of love.
And I love you.

Black Rose
04:17
|
|||
|
Your silhouette dances over morning grass
covered with blanket of silver glass
Without a word you echo a song
A serenade for many years to come.
Your black magic captivates.
Your beauty pervades.
Your scent so seductive,
Your charms that persuade.
So dark and mysterious,
This beauty that grows.
As delicate as moon dust
Beguiling black rose.
The maverick of beauty we seek to behold.
What secrets reside in those black velvet folds?
With passionate tales of dark delight,
You excite me color of the night.
Your black magic captivates.
Your beauty pervades.
Your scent so seductive,
Your charms that persuade.
So dark and mysterious,
This beauty that grows.
As delicate as moon dust
Beguiling black rose.
Some revere you; others scorn.
Some revere you; but I will always love you.
Your black magic captivates.
Your beauty pervades.
Your scent so seductive,
Your charms that persuade.
So dark and mysterious,
This beauty that grows.
As delicate as moon dust
Beguiling black rose.

Crystal Ball
04:05
|

|
Tell me, oh crystal ball
What is the fate of us all?
You show heaven and hell
But what’s the end game…can you tell?
It’s up to us which way we go.
The future’s not cast in stone.
The veil of reality will only lift.
When we realize love is our gift.
There’s blood on the streets, Death in our homes,
The fires rage, and our hearts burn
As they stage their final desperate attempt
the light reveals their hidden contempt
It’s up to us which way we go.
The future’s not cast in stone.
The veil of reality will only lift.
When we realize love is our gift.
Shadow work’s the name of the game, the name of the game
The only way out is with, shadow work’s the name of the game, the name of the game
The only way out is within, go within, go within.
A new world will come to be
rooted in concepts of integrity
The illusion we see
the matrix deceives you and me.
It’s up to us which way we go.
The future’s not cast in stone.
The veil of reality will only lift.
When we realize love is our gift.

Eye Of The Storm
05:45
|
|||
|
The shadows of this world, hide a dark truth… they feed of our fear.
These shadows they deceive, and we believe the chaos pioneered.
Find the eye of the storm, find the calm you need to go on.
Don’t give in to their fear or they’ll swallow you whole, suck the life right out of your soul.
Be the eye of the storm, eye of the storm, eye of the storm.
Their manipulation hides the depth of their lies that enslave our hearts and minds.
Feels like we can’t escape their lies, but whispers they remind; we can break the chains that bind our lives.
Find the eye of the storm, find the calm you need to go on.
Don’t give in to their fear or they’ll swallow you whole, suck the life right out of your soul.
Be the eye of the storm, eye of the storm, eye of the storm.
Calm waters prevail in the eye of the storm.
Calm waters prevail in the eye of the storm.
Calm waters prevail in the eye of the storm.
Eye of the storm, eye of the storm, eye of the storm.
Ah ….
Find the eye of the storm, find the calm you need to go on.
Don’t give in to their fear or they’ll swallow you whole, suck the life right out of your soul.
Be the eye of the storm, eye of the storm, eye of the storm.
Ah ….

Breathe Deep
05:03
|
|||
|
I cannot move. Cannot breathe.
Do I give up and take my leave?
I’m still here, and I see.
But what is left for me?
I’m not my body.
I’m not my broken bones.
Not my pain. Not my fears.
I am courage. Strength of spirit.
What I see, I will be.
Breathe deep. Breathe hard.
Breathe deep. Breathe hard.
You mind are free to build a better me.
I move. I breathe.
Won’t give up and take my leave.
I’m still here, and I see
there’s so much more for me.
I’m not my body.
I’m not my broken bones.
Not my pain. Not my fears.
I am courage. Strength of spirit.
What I see, I will be.
Breathe deep. Breathe hard.
Breathe deep. Breathe hard.
You mind are free to build a better me.
Wasn’t meant to live. Wasn’t meant to walk. Wasn’t meant to fly high.
Wasn’t meant to live. Wasn’t meant to walk. Wasn’t meant to fly at all.
But I defied it all, chose courage above all,
the compass to the greatness in your soul.
I create, I create, I create a better me.

We Are One
04:49
|

|
The universe gently pulls me near
Whispering pearls of wisdom in my ear
All illusions disappear
a dream wrapped in heaven starts to appear.
We are one. We are one. We are one. We are one.
Feel the energy. This is humanity.
The way it’s supposed to be. The way it’s supposed to be.
We are one. We are one. We are one. We are one.
As I softly touch the light
Fear withers before my sight.
Passion laughs and leaps for joy
Freedom is our right to enjoy.
We are one. We are one. We are one. We are one.
Feel the energy. This is humanity.
The way it’s supposed to be. The way it’s supposed to be.
We are one. We are one. We are one. We are one.
Courageous hearts won the day
Light and love lead the way
A new earth breathes and sways
people laugh and play.
We are one. We are one. We are one. We are one.
Feel the energy. This is humanity.
The way it’s supposed to be. The way it’s supposed to be.
We are one. We are one. We are one. We are one.
We are one. We are one. We are one. We are one.
We are one!
