02. Empty Temples
Before the clocks started counting
we built shrines to the sun conducted rites by the moonlight now remembered by none aswe move through the future we are warmed by the past like a fire on a cold, dark night but dawn's here at last let go of all that binds you your kind will always find you we must give up the old ways though they've served us well the rituals havelost meaning what were temples are shells but there is a new path that always has been as we set foot upon it let us fear not the end let go of all that binds you your kind will always find you an endless series of meaningless tasks each one distracting us all from the last look all around at the things you've been given what do you see? beauty and splendor, destruction and ruin all in your memory let go of all that binds you your kind will always find you 04. Tears Like Diamonds
Wait til the dawning of old Sirus
See the world as it was new There is a mist upon the meadow And the stirring souls are few She hears the starlings cry at daybreak And the tolling of the bells She shivers in the chill of the morning air Drawing water from her well With tears like diamonds upon her haggard face Hear the owls cry at midnight And the towers tolling bells There is a fog upon the forest Where she's been she'll never tell With tears like diamonds upon her haggard face With tears like diamonds upon her haggard face With tears like diamonds upon her haggard face With tears like diamonds upon her haggard face With tears like diamonds With tears like diamonds upon her haggard face With tears like diamonds 05. Mist And Shadow
High in the mountains and deep in the pines
lies the source of a vortex where certain forces align with nothing to do but commune with the trees in the valley of mist and shadow restless souls can be released why do people wonder if there is evil in the world? if it's lurking in the darkness until its plans can unfurl when it's standing before you in the clear light of day in a finely tailored suit with a smile on its face sun and moon light and shadow sacred ground to be hallowed in the hills and the hollows where it wills we will follow sun and moon, light and shadow sacred ground to be hallowed in the hillsand the hollows where it wills, we will follow. 06. Agartha
[Instrumental]
07. Seriously Mysterious
Beware those tricky witches, they are not what they seem
One might try to put a hex on you Sisterly mysteries, or just tattoos and jewelry How they do it is nothing new Flying by, a stitch in time, waiting for the night to come Living their whole lives just making love and having fun A wise man and a fool Who should serve and who should rule Everything happens as it should So take a look around and ask yourself Do I see nothing good All you worldly wizards in your ragged finery Never having nothing to say What will you do, what will become of you When your magic fades away Getting by by staying high, waiting for the light to come To save us from damnation, god sent his only son. A wise man and a fool Who should serve and who should rule Everything happens as it should So take a look around and ask yourself Do I see nothing good 08. Suffer No Fools

10. The Dreamthieves
Searching
As you look up into the sky Heavens above Reflect the starlight in your eyes Moving Like a shadow Disembodied and alone Somewhere In the darkness Beyond the dusk, before the dawn Dreaming Beneath the velvet cloak of night The dark appear And feel your spirit taking flight Lurking By the roadside Hungry eyes, hearts of stone Don't stray From the pathway Till you see the lights of home Moving Like a shadow Disembodied and alone Somewhere In the darkness Beyond the dusk, before the dawn. 11. Buzzards
He is a deadly and desperate man
on the run with gun in hand fleeing from the hangman's noose an outlaw with nothing to lose a pack of wolves surrounds its prey the mighty beast is brought to bay the smell of blood is in the air and soon the buzzards will claim their share they gather round the gallows they circle overhead stalking the wounded beast until it's dead clouds pass before the moon eyes surround him in the gloom a single bullet left in his gun the buzzards wait till the morning comes. 12. Silver Petals
[Instrumental]
13. Ghost Eye
In the morning we wake to the sun
when it sets we know our day is done tonight as we sleep we will dream till the next day has come while the ghost eye watches sees into your soul ghost eye watches sees into your soul ghost eye watches sees right through your soul in the winter we endure the snows in the summer the waters will flow and the seeds that are planted in spring by the autumn will grow 15. The Bees Of Spring
Gather your nectar, oh bees of the spring
Gather your nectar, oh bees of the spring Give me your honey, spare me your stings Glisten with dew drops, oh rose of the morn Glisten with dew drops, oh rose of the morn Show me your beauty, spare me your thorns Gather your nectar, oh bees of the spring Give us your honey, spare us your sting Glisten with dew drops, oh rose of the morn Show us your beauty, spare us your thorn Gather your nectar, oh bees of the spring Give me your honey, but spare me your stings Glisten with dew drops, oh rose of the morn Open your pedals, and put away your thorns. |
