Helios

7 signs to forge forgiveness
against these
7 travesties defend
7 orbits form a question no-one’s asked before of me
7 keys he placed within
Where do you turn for inspiration?
in the darkest edge of night?
How can you hope to find your purpose
if you leave it all behind?

Helios the sol invictus
with its 7 rays divide
Storms of distant frozen thunder
find the source of life survives
Helios the sol invictus
Titan christened, solar light
Shadows claim the course you’ve traveled
but this path is mine to find

And the science in their silence
counters sandal knotted dreams
The hand transcribed within a vision
lifted from the rising crest of no ordinary thing
Where do you turn for inspiration?
in the darkest edge of night?
Illumination guides your purpose
and defines the truth inside

Helios the sol invictus
with its 7 rays of light
in storms of distant frozen thunder
where the setting sun will rise

Helios the sol invictus
Titan christened, Aten’s eye
Shadows claim the course you’ve traveled
but the choice to make is mine

Helios the sol invictus
with its 7 rays divide
in storms of distant frozen thunder
where the setting sun will rise

Helios the sol invictus
to the boundless crucified
Shadows claim the course you’ve traveled
but this path is mine to find

Helios the sol invictus
unconquered sacrifice
storms of distant frozen thunder
where the setting sun will rise

Helios the sol invictus
Titan christened, solar light
Shadows claim the course you’ve traveled
but this path is mine to find

Singularities

I am calling you tonight…
I am calling you
I am calling you tonight…
I am calling you

Silence rages through the dark
And hangs upon me tightly
This disease I feel inside, it eats away within
The sky is haunting and alive, I feel the storms descending
And hope now stands alone
Before the blackness all around

Calling heaven
Hear my voice
I’m down without a choice
And these fears become my song
Pretending to be strong

Calling heaven
Hear my voice
It’s for my life I’m fighting
But I’ll surrender nothing
In my cold sobriety

And their tears betray their thoughts
With concern, unease is growing
But I cannot find a shield to protect the ones I love
So I’m forced to close my eyes and live within my dreaming
Tomorrow may not come
But today is mine to live

Calling heaven
Hear my voice
I’m down without a choice
And my hope becomes a song
I sing to carry on

Calling heaven
Hear my voice
In the darkness I am pleading
As the tempest stands against me
In my singularity

But life is the engine that renders the math
What’s undefined may not come to pass
If you hear me, will you answer?
I’m calling out to you
If you hear me, will you answer?
I’m reaching out to you

Calling heaven
Hear my voice
I’m down without a choice
And these tears become a song
Pretending to be strong

Calling heaven
Hear my voice
It’s for my life I’m fighting
But I’ll surrender nothing
In my cold sobriety

Calling heaven
Hear my voice
I’m down without a choice
And a prayer becomes my song
My strength to carry on

God in Heaven, hear my voice
For something more I’m fighting
And I pray you’ll be with me
In my singularity.

Stay

she flickers just a fleeting thought,
an echo back through time,
regret, perhaps, reverberates behind.
and in her silent ghostly voice
remains a somber calm.
each syllable recalls her fate
and seems to say it all:

you can wander far away from me,
but tomorrow’s dressed in our memories
and happiness is what you make, it’s no mistake,
why don’t you stay?
half of one is still so incomplete,
wanting to be you and me,
three short words you can’t repeat, “i love you,”
why don’t you stay?

as chaos passing in a blur,
an innocence already gone,
the gears of tragic sadness turn
and blindly carry on.
reflections pass in spheres of self
and now the echo fades away,
perfection slips unrecognized,
still i hear her say:

you can wander far away from me,
but tomorrow’s dressed in our memories
and happiness is what you make, it’s no mistake,
why don’t you stay?
half of one is still so incomplete,
wanting to be you and me,
three short words you can’t repeat, “i love you,”
why don’t you stay?

tell me, do you hear her voice?
it echoes and echoes and echoes.
narcissus made the choice…

you can wander far away from me,
but tomorrow’s dressed in our memories
and happiness is what you make, it’s no mistake,
why don’t you stay?
half of one is still so incomplete,
wanting to be you and me,
three short words you can’t repeat, “i love you,”
why don’t you stay?
you can wander far away from me,
but tomorrow’s dressed in our memories
and happiness is what you make, it’s no mistake,
why don’t you stay?
half of one is still so incomplete,
with words unnoticed, just repeat, “i love you,”
why don’t you stay?

Home

I’ve been here too many times before
I was broken then
But somehow made it back for more
And now I’ve lost so much this time
My life’s a world away
And there’s nowhere to go back to
Drifting in outer space

I wanna go home
Bring me back home
Bring me back
I wanna go home
To the place I used to live
I wanna go home
Bring me back home
Bring me back
I wanna go home
But there’s nobody there anymore

And my broken heart each moment breaks again
But it’s harder to manage, ’cause I lost my closest friend
And I would hate you, I would hate you
But I love you even so
It all becomes an empty space
Where these tears are cried alone

I wanna go home
Bring me back home
Bring me back
I wanna go home
To the place I used to live
I wanna go home
Bring me back home
Bring me back
I wanna go home
But there’s nobody there anymore

You don’t see me when you look at me
I’m just someone you knew
You don’t see me when you look at me
The way that I see you
The way that I see you

I wanna go home
Bring me back home
Bring me back
I wanna go home
To the place I used to live
I wanna go home
Bring me back home
Bring me back
I wanna go home
But there’s nobody there anymore
I wanna go home
Bring me back home
Bring me back
I wanna go home
To the place I used to live
I wanna go home
Bring me back home
Bring me back
I wanna go home
But there’s nobody there anymore
I’ve seen that look before
You don’t see me anymore
I’ve seen that look before
You closed and locked the door

Infinity (You don’t see me)

lillies stand on severed stems
the dried remains, with colors dim every one a precious sign
of what the future brings trappped below a face unseen my truth is stlll a mystery
a cracked reflection of a dream discovered in its time

You don’t see me
but I’ll stay with you
if you believe
silently
the angels hold your hand
You won’t hear me
but that doesn’t mean it isn’t me even in your darkest dream
I’m there…
Forever next to you

I watch the revolutions might
the planets turn in fields of flight knowing through a sacred kiss
Its offered into you
and the universe is yours to make yours to build, and yours to break circum stance will force its way until you overcome… (turn the tide)

and when the worlds descending into unhappy endings
hold your head up
and fight on…

you will not stand alone

Stargazer

a distant fire in the darkness… burning
Where a star lingers locked high above me I see The inspiration to create
born in visions cast away
In the seeds of dying spheres
flow the wells of immortality

We are alive, we’re still thinking and breathing we will survive, let tomorrow begin
in every hope, in every prayer,
in everything that you believe in…

you can find the truth within… we are the dreams of mortal men

and with answers come questions… seeking Something ost to the science of cold grey machines forced to color in the lines
they close your eyes to close your mind
in our hubris we repeat
the wisdoms of insanity.

We are alive, we’re still thinking and breathing we will survive, let tomorrow begin
in every word, in every stroke,
in everything that you believe in…

find the spark awake within…
we are the dreams of mortal men

We are alive, we’re still thinking and breathing we will survive, let tomorrow begin
in every hope, in every prayer,
in everything that you believe in…

you can find yourself within…
we are the dreams of mortal men

We are alive, we’re still thinking and breathing we will survive, let tomorrow begin
in every hope, in every prayer,
in everyt depth of our creation…

you can find yourself within…
we are the dreams of mortal men

Of Angels

“take my hand” she said to me,
“baby, it’ll be alright
though the world (ha)s come crashing down on every side

you can fly
you can fly
cause you still have wings

you can fly
you can fly
you’ve just got to believe

your an angel… I can see it in your eyes
Got a broken heart
so I’ll stay close tonight your an angel… I can see it in your eyes

And the something I see so beautiful will survive

You might stumble when you remember but you won’t fall
We can take this path together
like its nothing at all..

you can fly
you can fly
cause you still have your wings you can fly
you can fly
you’ve just got to believe

your an angel… I can see it in your eyes
Got a broken heart
so I’ll stay close tonight your an angel… I can see it in your eyes

And the something I see so beautiful will survive your an angel… I can see it in your eyes

and i feel that fire… burning deep inside your an angel… I can see it in your eyes
And the something I see so beautiful will survive”

My Telescope

it seems so distant now
across the sky it fades
another point has vanished here… its gone with yesterday

and spinning on this little rock

just looking into space
I wonder if you still remember me You loved me once… so far away (so far away)

The sky becomes so big at night the sky becomes so big
the sky becomes so big at night i can only see you…

through my telescope Lalalala
my telescope Lalalala

my telescope

and I see my own reflection
how did we get so old?
Time is passing slower- (now) but I wonder if you know

that Its all a great illusion
this world is not of man…
and some of us who live here will never (never) understand

The sky becomes so big at night the sky becomes so big
the sky becomes so big at night i can only see you…

through my telescope

and how I want to wait for you but theres nothing I can do Oh how I want to wait for you but theres nothing I can do

The sky becomes so big at night the sky becomes so big
the sky becomes so big at night i can only see you…

through my telescope

I’ll see you when the curtain falls I’ll see you when they dim the stars I’ll see you when the sun is faded cause I see you where you are… my telescope

Jupiter

who have we become? with life rotating down inward towards the sun we could issue our regrets

but true love is innocent…
Clouded views of what we needed or what we wanted it all to mean and I know what really matters
i see it now- so clearly (with clarity)

I’ll stand beside you through it all and wipe your tears away
until the moment we fall
until the moment we fall

I feel the pull of Jupiter
an endless gravity
we stand so small in the presence of the dead storm…
of the dead storm… rising

twisted faces…their fear is won
we’re lost in crowds… the lonely ones ….lets find the good inside
the good we knew before
des-perate for precious moments
to savor just a second or two… there’s no place I’d rather be
then right here next to you

I’ll stand beside you through it all and wipe your tears away
until the moment we fall
until the moment we fall

I feel the pull of Jupiter
an endless gravity
we stand so small in the presence of the dead storm… rising

precious the time
life’s great commodity nothings quite what it seems this life is temporary
and death… is but a dream

I’ll stand beside you through it all and wipe your tears away
until the moment we fall
until the moment we fall

I feel the pull of Jupiter
an endless gravity
we stand so small in the presence of the dead storm… rising

I’ll stand beside you through it all and wipe your tears away
until the moment we fall
until the moment we fall

I feel the pull of Jupiter
an endless gravity
we stand so small in the presence of the dead storm…
of a dead storm… rising

Uncertainty (In space and time)

Time is a doorway time is a wall
but choices forgotten come to haunt us all… just before the fall, within…

Time is the future time is the past

with strings in a present state that’ll never last… They vibrate too fast
to see…

Suddenly the curtain slips away
and there between your science and your faith we learn enough to question everything…
its so strange-
it goes bang!
and every mind a universe contains
another billion voices in your brain
whose observation consciousness creates
its so strange…
a big bang!
Na na na na na na
As above…
Na na na na na
Thy Kingdom Come…
Na na na na na na
So below…
Na na na na
Thy will be done.

If time is a constant
then this time is a dream inconsistently tied
to reality-
the one we all believe
is real.
Time is a straight line
drawn on a sphere
inviting posibilities
we all come to fear
beyond the thresholds yet unknown

suddenly the curtain slips away

and there between your science and your faith we learn enough to question everything…
its so strange-
it goes bang!

and every mind a universe contains another billion voices fill your brain
whose observation, consciousness creates its so strange…
a big bang!
Na na na na na na
As above…
Na na na na na
Thy Kingdom Come…
Na na na na na na
So below…
Na na na na na
Thy will be done (we all go)

and the questions don’t apply searching for heaven with human eyes as God, the observer, may see…
Solar dust becoming me…
forgive the hubris i define
finding dreams lost in the folds of time to know what purpose is mine…
as God, the observer, may see…
the angel’s inside of me…

Starfall

Once upon a time, the world we knew was just beginning
before your wings were broken, climbing higher than the sky
but now the Halos gone… nostalgia’s love is reaching for your ghost Once upon a time, was a long time ago

So Close your eyes and brace for impact here it comes a fire ball
Close your eyes to make the last wish we’re born of stardust afterall

and now-
your burning up…
your burning up…
but shining brighter in the sky your burning up…
your burning up…
A super-Nova filled with light and its a long way down
I see the starfall, my love
Its such a long way down

Once upon a time, we were searching for the ever afters

In revolutions orbit, where the unseen stars all go
those distant suns left glowing, in the dark now fade to nothingness Once upon a time, was a long long time ago

So Close your eyes and brace for impact here it comes a fire ball
Close your eyes to make the last wish we’re born of stardust afterall

and now-
We’re burning up…
We’re burning up…
but shining brighter in the sky We’re burning up…
We’re burning up…
a Super-Nova when we die

and its a long way down I see the starfall
but its a long way down

you and I were made from something bigger than this world we know
made to set the sky ablaze
to be a light…then let it go

In Gardens

Moments collected…
in iridescent, focused white…
where she moves like she’s dancing, leaving trails of broken light.
getting lost in the dreaming… heartbroken, black and grey,
if tomorrow awakens,
will she remember anything?

And when I look into her eyes I see myself unrecognized, reflections in the winter
of the soul…

And I want to say her name, but she turns and looks away, to wander frozen gardens
of her mind.

feeling forgotten.
Strangers in faceless time,
I’m still searching for reasons
to keep my hope alive.
Casting prayers back to heaven, to find the love inside,
help me pick up the pieces,

I won’t leave it here behind.

And when I look into her eyes, I see myself unrecognized, reflected in the silence
of the soul.

And I have to close my eyes, reflections almost never lie. So I know that I’m a ghost… she used to know.

And when I look into her eyes, I see myself unrecognized, reflected in the winter
of her soul.

And I’m calling out her name, but she softly walks away,
to wander frozen gardens
of her mind.

And I have to close my eyes, you know reflections seldom lie, and I know that I’m a ghost… she used to know.

Astronauts

in perceptions incomplete
I find you draped in humility i didn’t realize
how deeply you have lived… In forgotten features dreamt a geometry, so elegant
& this coincidence…
is heaven sent to say…

you live and then you die but to the end
your beautiful
your beautiful

still
like an astronaut in flight
an angel climbs the starry sky so beautiful
to me… to me
look back when you dream
& know that i love you

and it hurts to say goodbye
where the memories grow blind
the past was once the present
and the future undefined…
Here lies the way back home
on horizons near the great unknown a small step for each man
that each man takes alone.

you live and then you die but to the end
your beautiful
your beautiful

still
like an astronaut in flight
an angel climbs the starry sky so beautiful to me
to me…
look back when you dream
& know that i love you

we live and then we die but to the end
we’re beautiful
we’re beautiful

hey’
like an astronaut in flight
an angel climbs the starry sky so beautiful
to me…
we live and then we die
but to the end
we’re beautiful
we’re beautiful
hey’
like an astronaut in flight
an angel climbs the starry sky so beautiful
to me… to me
look back when you dream
& know that i love you

I’ll see you again because
this is not the end
i know its not the end
