01. Untouchable Part 1

Music & lyrics by Danny Cavanagh
And I feel like I knew you before
And I guess that you can hear me through this song

And my love will never die
And my feelings will always shine

And I know that you just want me to belong to someone
And I guess that now I'll just be moving on to someone

But my love will never die
And my feelings will always shine

I'll never betrayed your trust
I'll never betrayed your faith
I'll never forsake your heart
I'll never forget your face

There's a feeling that I can't describe
There's a reason that I cannot hide
Because I've never seen a light that's so bright
As the light that shines behind your eyes

I can see
This life
And what you mean to me

And when I dreamed
I dreamed of you
Then I wake
Tell me what could I do?

I had to let you go
To the setting sun
I had to let you go
And find a way back home

02. Untouchable Part 2

Music & lyrics by Danny Cavanagh
Why I should feel this way?
Why I should feel this way?
Why I should feel the same?

Is something I cannot say
Is something I cannot say
Is something I can't explain

I feel you
Outside at the edge of my life
I see you
Walk by at the edge of my sight

Why I should follow my heart?
Why I should follow my heart?
Why I should fall apart?

Why I should follow my dreams?
Why I should follow my dreams?
Why I should be at peace?

I feel you
Outside at the edge of my life
I see you
Walk by at the edge of my sight

I had to let you go
To the setting sun
I had to let you go
And find a way back home

When I dream all I see is you
When I dream all I see is..

I never seen a light that's so bright
I never seen a light that's so bright
I never seen a light that's so bright

Blinded by the light that's inside
Blinded by the light that's inside
Blinded by the light that's inside you

03. The Gathering Of The Clouds

Music & lyrics by Danny Cavanagh
Searched the whole world
Found I can't compare

(But we're here, cause we're here
We're here cause we're here
And there's nothing to fear
No, there's nothing to fear)

Searched the whole night long
Found out what's been going wrong

Time is not what it would seem
The life we live is like a dream
Release belief, let it wash over me
Let love reveal what I feel

(All that I've seen
All that I feel
All I could be
Is happening to me)

Searched the whole world
Found I can't compare

(Fight for what you believe in
Dare to live your dream
In this life don't be afraid of yourself
Don't be afraid)

Searched the whole night long
Found out what's been going wrong

Time is not what it would seem
The life we live is like a dream
Release belief, let it wash over me
Let love reveal what I feel
What I feel
What I feel

04. Lightning Song

Music & lyrics by Danny Cavanagh
Lightning splits the sky
Shining blinding white
And here I lie almost asleep
Reckoning in a place of peace

And I feel
I found my place
In time and space
In hope and faith
And love I give
My mind is clear
I have no fear
I shed no tears
For you my dear

For this world is wonderful, so beautiful
If only you could open up your mind and see

Your world is everything you ever dreamed of
If only you could open up your mind and see

The beauty that is here

05. Sunlight

Music & lyrics by Danny Cavanagh
Sunlight failed but only for a while
In the moonlight pale someone made me smile
The shining almost took me but I made it through that night
And in the morning life it graced me and I ran for miles
Into sunlight in a billion dreams that are lost and won
And moonlight in spite of all you've seen there's only one way out

Say you will love me until I leave the world

06. The Storm Before The Calm

Music & lyrics by John Douglas
Never
Ever
Worry
I will always be there for you
Found you, found you
I will never, ever leave you
Never
I will always be here with you
Getting better better better better

It's getting colder, I'm getting colder, it's getting colder
Let it get colder until I can't feel anything at all
It's getting colder colder colder

Come on, on me
Touching, laughing, ha ha
Love me, love me for me
Holding, watching, loving
Getting better better better better

It's getting colder, I'm getting colder, it's getting colder
Let it get colder until I can't feel anything at all
It's getting colder, It's getting colder, I'm getting colder
Let it get colder until I can't feel anything at all

It ebbs and flows and comes and goes
And rips you up and lets you go
It eats inside and splits your mind
As you search around for others kind
You gather strength from the depths
Fight the fight from day 'til night

This beautiful feeling soars over the skies
Moving through my body out my mind
It rises up and floods my brain
This is fucking insane, this is fucking insane

Am I still here? As one with the fear
Am I still alive? As one with the fear
Am I still here? As one with the fear
Am I still alive? I'm still fucking here
Am I still here?

07. The Beginning And The End

Music & lyrics by Danny Cavanagh
Inside this cold heart is a dream
That's locked in a box that I keep
Buried a hundred miles deep
Deep in my soul in a place that's surrounded by aeons of silence

And somewhere inside is the key
To everything I want to feel
But the dark summer dawns of my memory
Are lost in a place that can never be

Can someone please show me the way?
Can someone please help me?
'Cause I cannot see and the silence is raging

Silence
Silence
Fade into silence

Memory
Memory
Inside is the key to a memory

08. The Lost Child

Music & lyrics by Danny Cavanagh
Adrift on a silent sea
The cold night surrounds me
Black ice forms beneath

The waves of a childhood dream
A far light hypnotized
A voice calls from paradise
To here

My light is fading now
My heart is breaking now

A child sings to me
The mists rise blinding me
I can't find a way out of here

And the sound of angel dreams
The stars fall into the sea
The ice breaks, I'm pulled beneath
Pulled beneath the waves

My light is fading now
My heart is breaking now
My life is failing now
My mind is drowning now
But your hand reaches down
To reach down and pull me out and
Save me.

09. Internal Landscapes

Music & lyrics by Danny Cavanagh
[Spoken Words:]
And I felt myself going. I was in a great deal of pain. It was a very frightening experience, I began to slip. I just started to feel myself going, and I remember trying to hold on "I'll be ok, I'll be ok" and it got to a point where I just couldn't.
And everything began to just become very quiet and I can remember with every ounce of strength I had, I wanted to say goodbye to my wife. It was important to me.
And I did, I remember just turning my head and looking at her and saying: "I'm gonna die, Goodbye Joan", and I did?
It was then that I experienced... experienced what we call a near death experience, for me it was nothing near about it, it was there.
It was a total immersion in light, brightness, warmth, peace, security.
I did not have an out-of-body-experience, I did not see my body or any one about me? I just immediately went into this beautiful bright light.
It's difficult to describe, as a matter of fact is impossible to describe, verbally it cannot be expressed, it's something which becomes you and you become it.
I could say that I was peace, I was love, I was the brightness, it was part of me.

Goodbye my friend
Love will never end

And I feel like you
And I breathe all truth

Love is the life breath of all I see
Love is the true light inside of me

And I know you somehow
As I hold you in my heart
In my heart

(Senses following me)

There's a fire in the sky
And I know it's you
There's a light that's so bright
And I know it's you

And I dream like you
'Cause I believe in truth

For I was always there
And I will always be there...

[Spoken Words:]
It's just so beautiful.
It was eternity, it's like I was always there, and I will always be there, that my existence on earth was very brief, instant...
I could say that I was peace, I was love, I was the brightness, it was part of me.
