Something is Dreaming
06:28

Cross the glistening sands
Eon-etched ocean of time
’Neath guardian rock and regolith
Something is dreaming
It knows the depths and darkness
And it knows what lies above
The winds that whirl the dust of ages
It ponders life and love
Of what does it dream
In its cold and empty world?
Where does it find its wonders
Its visions to behold?
Will it find the answers
Its plots and fantasies?
Of what does it dream?
It dreams of thou and thee.
Prepare the instruments
To probe this entity
Heed the directed protocols
Observe with dignity
Care not to impose bias
Our wishes and our fears
Something dreams a message
Let us strive to hear
Yet what does it dream
What fate does it portend?
What power in its thoughts
To embrace or to defend?
Could it be a danger
Red menace come at last?
Or is it just a dreamer
Evoking a golden past?
Silently appearing, high above this world
Reaching out inquisitively my senses are unfurled
Dancing joyous, floating free
Impulse comes to bind myself to thee
Alone I emerge
As the stars provide
Outward facing emptiness
In depths my soul resides
Detecting shapes and shadows
The scientists theorize
Outlines form beginnings
Thoughts upon the skies
Standing waves arising
Our buffers overrun
A narrative is forming
The story has begun
What does it dream?
What does it dream?
What does it dream?
The sun and the moon
The land and the sea
Yin and yang
Thou and thee
Adam and Eve
Low and high
Loners to lovers
Planet and Sky
That’s you and me, baby
This I will testify
Loners to lovers
Planet and Sky
You and me baby
Me oh my
Loners to lovers
Planet and Sky

Round
05:14

I’m round
Solid round
I’m round
Solid round
I am all there is or needs to be
My entire being surrounds me
A world of sand and dust, built on solid rock
I am a planet- look at me
Do you hear, lost and lonely child?
Another spirit whispers in the sky
You’re not alone, you’re not the only thing
I am with you flying high
Trying to get my head around this now
There’s something else- duality?
Why would I need this, some kind of parasite
Messin’ with my geometry?
I complete you- add a touch of class
Even if my charms you cannot see
But something tells me you want someone
Why’re you always looking at me?
I’m round
So round
Solid round
We fly so high
I’m round
So round
Solid round
High above the ground
Now let me think!
This is something good I know that it’s to be
I can envision harmony
You bring me air and rain and manna from the stars
I’ll provide the gravity
I knew you’d come around, my silly ball of stone
Though it took a million years to see
I’ll bring you special gifts that you will adore
And shelter you from cosmic debris
I can be a little dense... for that you must forgive
And you’re a flighty tart- agree?
But now we’re bound forever mated in the void
One for all eternity
I’ll love you dearly, hold you tenderly
The universe will know our bliss
Children will soon come forth across our sphere
Wonders follow on our kiss
We’re round
So round
Solid round
We fly so high
We’re round
So round
Solid round
Lovers world and sky
We’re round
So round
Solid round
We fly so high
We’re round
So round
Solid round
Lovers world and sky

Travelers

Far from the star of our home world we rest in this ice world we wait for new land
Blown into space by a terrible blast... a horrible fate is awaiting us here in the void
Deep space is quiet and restful and cold... hardened ’gainst radiation we sleep
Something comes slowly and makes itself known... now we're on track to a new star
This monster is pulling us faster we move- away from our neighbors far far away
A new journey finds us speed fast on our way- the light getting brighter- the cold fades
Here comes a source of new light and heat- a golden beacon- our deliverance!
We rush to this nightmare, our doom to be scorched- blackened- cold- and dead!
Maybe a new place to live, eat, and sleep... on a nurturing world?
Only a few must survive
Bringing the secrets of life
One world grows larger...

Eons of Joy
05:35
|
|||
I’ve got the heat building up down deep
Gonna build a mountain or two
Gonna flex my mantle... make the ground shake
Gonna get tectonic on you
I used to think it was oh so simple
Perfection was my only aim
Now you got me all torn up inside girl
I don’t even know my name
Yeah I hear you but it works both ways
I was so happy to be free
But now you got me swirling out of control
Can’t tell who’s you and who is me
My air was gentle and my breeze was light
I felt at peace and free from harm
Now every time that you let off some steam boy
I become a raging storm
Eons of anger
Confusion and pain
The fire from below
And the driving rain
The power of creation
The will to destroy
Sudden understanding
Eons of joy
What does it mean to be one with you?
Do I lose all I thought I had?
It seems so natural as we melt into each other
This greater being is not so bad
But these convulsions make me wonder
These stones that smash me from above
Is there a downside to this union?
What kind of bargain is this love?
Yes I am thankful for foundation
And feel a bliss to bond with you
But I miss the simple joy of floating
Without a care, without a clue
But I must have you know my dear
My love for you exceeds all bounds
The care we feel now for each other
Fuels the power that we’ve found
Eons of anger
Confusion and pain
The fire from below
And the driving rain
The power of creation
The will to destroy
Sudden understanding
Eons of joy
Eons of anger
Confusion and pain
The fire from below
And the driving rain
The power of creation
The will to destroy
Sudden understanding
Eons of joy

Such is Love
04:44
|

She flows into my valleys
Dances ’cross my plains
Climbs my highest mountains
And brings me gentle rains
I provide a base for her
Enrich her wondrous soul
Whatever she may need from me
I will find and bring it whole
Such is love
The thrill of combination
Such is love
Creating a brand new world
Such is love
Joyous eternal friendship
A vow... to guide and shelter all... all within our fold
Deep inside I’m warm now
On my surface rivers run
Time to wake the travelers
To thrive beneath the sun
And yet my peace is broken
No! This I dare not dwell upon
I know she’ll never leave me, but what if I can’t hold on?
Such is love
The agony and ecstasy
Such is love
To build with spirit bold
Such is love
I wonder what became of me?
A vow... to guide and shelter all... and all within our fold
Lover draw me close to thee
Against the black and cold of night
We hold the key to life within us
Fail not your precious hold on me
Such is love
Such is love
Such is love, love, love
Such is love
Such is love
Such is love, love, love

Beautiful Life
02:11
|

Beautiful life, we’ve found our home. Never again will we worry or want or need
Respite is now, but disquiet lingers. Questions arising disturbing the tremulous piece
First we were favored. Now it grows colder. We do what we must to exist in a changing word
There are no limits, no reason for doubting. Our world is our destiny brought to us now we are free!
Haven’t you noticed a change in the weather? The warm days come rarely the nights make us shiver and moan
Deeper is warmer, always an answer. I see a rock with some speckles, nice colors and shapes
Cycles come often. Await the fine summers. The chill makes us stronger. We build and with joy we will live
Not this time my friend. It worsens by season our world is in crisis our days of fair glory behind
Time slows and crawls, each second a journey. The moments extended, enriched with the essence of time

Planet My Love

Planet my love
I know that we’re dying
Your rivers run empty
My air fades away
Our children retreat
Into your deepest havens
Your surface lies barren
’Neath the sun’s deadly rays
The pain in my heart
The sorrow I feel
The dread separation
This grief is too real
But I can’t regret
The moment I found you
The joy of our union
In eternity bound
Fairness, beauty, compassion - the province of good mortal beings
The universe cares not for its children who wait for its pitiless sting
But we made a gift unto heaven
Our love, precious and free
As we fade to oblivion
Love is our victory
Planet my love
I join you in dying
There’s no greater glory
Than to share our last day
So let us embrace
As we walk through this door
Though our life here is over
Our love will yet live... forevermore

Wake Up!
06:12
|
|||
Do you feel it?
A warming of the ground?
Something is happening
Vibrations all around
What life of misery
Such a sleep of terrors
What new torment coming
To realize all our fears?
Wake up!
New world, new life
Wake up!
I liked the cold and quiet
A perfect place to sleep
I’ll get up in a moment
Is there anything to eat?
Greet the dawn, get to work
Making a change, get it on
Crank the heat, by means and steps
Orbiting mirrors, let ‘em shine, shine, shine
Lower albedo, thicken the air
Plant the seeds… everywhere
Wake the old ones, help ‘em thrive
Bring ‘em all out… in the sun
Long I lay in endless sleep
My time, my love had passed
Now what stirs me, brings me warmth
Is she here again at last?
I was drained and long dispersed
Now buoyed by life anew
Accelerated bounty blooms
Does my lover feel this too?
Our perfect world is here now
Just as I forecast
Time to start evolving
This time make it last!
Seems we face another round
New anguish comes again
The beauty and the tragedy
I’ll represent the pain
Wake up!
New world, new life
Wake up!
Cell walls are expanding
Arms and legs and tail
Duty calls to eat and sleep
Maybe I’ll become a whale!
We need more air, water and heat
Methane and ice… asteroids!
Green the house, think tropical lads
Plants and forests, build it to last
Rains are falling, seas to the brim
New life… stir the pot
World now lives, first job done, peek in now and then
Wait for the women and men
No more alone I live now
Above my Sky abides
I dance and sing in happiness
Below my Planet sighs
A gift of joy and grace
With love, embrace new life!
Wake up!
