We Are Not Lost 03:06
lyrics
We are lost! Identity burn’t and bust Languishing in hungry lust The folly of ignorance whirling and turning Emerging and yearning And in our defence... There is no need to sink to our knees and plead And in our defence...There is no need Rising from an incongruous lament through the action of planting a seed from which a phoenix rises burning, no longer turning And in our defence There is no need to sink to our knees and plead... in our defence We are not lost In our defence We are not lost In our defence We are not lost

My Hand is Burning 05:23
lyrics
My hand is burning and it feels like I’m taking flames from a fire I can see those flames I can hear those flames crackling and smacking wheeling and turning And so I’ll wait... Silent, transfixed, mesmerised by every flick, every crimson flip Members flicker, civilisations at night all of a jitter If only my hand could move quicker I could take hold be bold and take one of those flames bring it close to my chest Hold it like a flower The flame in my hand Feel its warmth and power The flame in my hand A will to discover These words take you to new places New lands Nothing sugarcoated, hidden or forbidden Just clear skies, wide eyes Miles and miles and miles of crystal waters If I could hold a flame from this fire Crackling and smacking, wheeling and turning always bright always burning The change that occurs when the curtains are closed The change that ripples and rumbles never fumbles or crumbles A passing, a massing of needed dread that brings to your head the sweet, sweet murmurations of peace. The change that occurs without a police, the feet that meet a momentous beat a rhythm becomes you, is you Climbing for space, pace after pace the human race raised from this categorical malaise to rest gently on towers of grace And in your face I see the message is clear, so clear that it only shows up as light pushes through As light pushes through

Black Feather Make Flight 02:14
lyrics
Black feather crow feather Absorbing the light Black feather crow feather Absorbing the light, making flight Supporting a dream Black feather crow feather A raft of shadows supporting a dream that last as long as the shadow it casts A wise crow knows each feather intimately and intrinsically Its purpose Its power The way it moves and cuts the air Black feather crow feather

A Woodpecker Whispers in Your Ear 03:57
lyrics
A woodpecker whispers in your ear and everything changes Tack tack tack Tack tack tack He’s held in close defying gravity Poised, upright, defying time with his audible fight Tack tack tack Tack tack tack Faster than you can count He wakes you from sleep He wakes your mothers Your fathers Your fathers father, your mothers mother So deep into time that you are ancestral past cracks open and spills forth… Tack tack tack Tack tack tack A dance occurs, a romance unfurls You bear witness to a courtship that happens lightly A union that happens gladly Tack tack tack Tack tack tack She answers! She listens She measures every strike for its purity It’s synchronicity, and she whispers in your ear Tack tack tack Tack tack tack Something breaks something shatters You look at the world and wonder What have we done? From so far back we see a future and from so far back we see a need to drop everything just for one minute and witness Just bear witness The quiet, the stillness She whispers in your ear Tack tack tack Tack tack tack It corrects itself Through stillness it corrects itself Tack tack tack Tack tack tack

Two Fallen Angels 03:32
lyrics
Two crows fighting and my uncle dances wildly Two fallen angels rolling, scrabbling atop layers of grey, refined dust, jumps, drifts, clouds around them Cars pass, engines growling, drivers scowling, their eyes gaping at two crows dressed in pure blackness immersed in quarrel. Kicking, sliding binding Talons make spark, ripping into feathery clothing, their eyes, burning, locked onto each other, holding fast. Scratching, lacerating, emancipating their abuses A tumultuous embrace, unavoidable physical dialogue that bears no grudge and surpasses our judge-ment There is sense to this There is sense to this. In apparent chaos there will be resolution, a disentanglement of the world My uncle dances wildly with a spirit way beyond that of which we can comprehend. An amassing of times of fasting that erupt gladly, a paper volcano who’s words slip by frantically And with the paper bag claps Amnesia breaks Alterations to make To bring back forsake Amnesia breaks Memories cascade Mountain streams of images Pounding Stopping starting Rocks resist, but bear witness, to an identity that persists Witness, witness this Overlay Overlaying Amnesia breaks Alterations to undertake A fortress makes and breaks, not itself, but everything else Mirror me Mirror you Mirror fakes with such genuine appearance creates a frequency popular and misleading, but popular and horrifically comfortable Amnesia breaks Amnesia breaks The last lament

Unfinished Business 05:36
lyrics
I’m glad this bag is not just my bag I hold no weight in this vessel, I hold its value It comes to me as a temporary load, a gift to peruse Not to indulge or over use This grief runs deep into and through Re-kindles pain I had no idea that I needed to go through And through it to go and go, through it to go

To Cage a Shadow 08:05
lyrics
Seen Heard Liberated Spears passing through space Shadows bent on being lit Illuminescent Spears passing through Bent-on and constant Smashing hours, minutes, seconds Determined to cage a shadow Ethereal spears passing through Shadows bent on being lit Illuminescent Passing through To cage a shadow No gas no sides Holding oil with open hands Dropping, pouring, spilling in every direction Up side and down Side to side through everything and in everything Pushing everything aside whilst still not seen lurking in themselves and keen Keen to come forth and spell out this simple message; “There is no fear, just avoiding the light that needs to be seen” And “Careful how you build cages, be sure to remember where the crucial connections are, and when you are ready, PULL them out” Pull them out, no, smash them out and see the whole thing fall The whole thing needs to fall It needs to fall The whole thing needs to lay down, dissolve, disperse So to re-assemble, amalgamate - re join, that's it The spears passing through shadows bent on being lit, burn bright, bring illuminescent light Leave you as it is, not as you thought it was
