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 02:38
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, 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 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!
