Where are you tonight? Wild flower in starlit heaven Still enchanted in flight Obsessions lament to freedom
A timeless word, the meanings changed But I'm still burning in your flames, Incessant, lustral masquerade, Unengaged, dim lit love didn't taste the same
And I still wonder if you ever wonder the same And I wonder...
[Lyrics: D.Patterson, Music: D.Cavanagh]
3. The Beloved
Another day unfolds, still I exist Never felt so cold, I never knew I was turning away Though I can't explain, I only love you now that your missed As I stand in the rain, just leave me to go through this
I don't think I could face another sleepless night If only I could trace that elusive light In a dreamland flight to your agonizing eyes A never ending flight, my silent cries
Still I close my eyes and my mind becomes clear Still I dream, and there you are... How still you lie and how your eyes bring back the fear Still I can't face what's going on in here...
Everything that I've ever felt has gone At last my spirit breathes I see no point in going on So goodbye... It's time for me to leave
[Lyrics: V.Cavanagh, Music: D.Cavanagh]
4. Eternity Part I
As I turn away from a life so grey Where have all the flowers gone? Just what went wrong?
Innocence, insanity, irony Stone cold reality Oh lord come and save me
Do you think we're forever?
I've been in tears Hope has died in me But now I'm here, I don't wish to leave
Trapped in time A mirage of hope and change A swirling mass, no mercy now If the truth hurts prepare for pain
Do you think we're forever?
The unseen, the eternal river of understanding Persevering, dying escape Forever tempting fate Take me back
A flood of tears bonding my soul with my mind A dream of love, reality closing in behind As I close my eyes, the vision dies As I bid my last farewell to mankind
The unseen, the eternal...
[Lyrics & Music: D.Patterson]
5. Eternity Part II
Destiny, Infinity, Eternity
[Lyrics & Music: D.Patterson]
6. Hope
"I was not put here by anyone in fear I came alone as me Just an idea in a long chain of discovery Surrounded by the same you
Sometimes your tide pulls me out to sea And I die in a thrashing curse Sometimes we are kind More often, I doze So far up the beach that those who try to reach are burnt alive in the searing heat of the desert of my dispassion So far removed, I never hear the water 'Cept once or twice a month when I see a mirror
And I refuse to believe in some of the things that are said to be here Let alone those that are not I'm trying to change my direction Ours is pathetic in my own humble estimation
I love the planet The great benign she-wolf Benefactor Spinning gently on towards the red giant four aeons hence When all the rose gardens are consumed in the flash-fire of flying time She'll leave alone to you"
When you look at me From your own century I may seem to be Strange archeology But when the winds blow From this direction You may sense that I'm In your reflection I think I feel you But I will never know As the swallows leave And the children grow
I wanted to live forever The same as you will too I wanted to live forever And everybody knew
When I caught you there In tomorrows mirror I thought I felt you Jump out of my skin Throwing oil into My blazing memories Filling empty footsteps I was standing in
I wanted to live forever The same as you will too I wanted to live forever And everybody knew
As the falling rain Of the northern jungle Hanging droplets on the leaves Bombards my brain I hear you Across the room A sea of daffodils spring into bloom You are the mist The frost across my window pane And again
She moves her body And her whispers weave And the world spins And tells me that I'll never want to leave
As I think of you From this dark century I will always be With generosity That we both may share The hope in hearing That we're not just Spirits disappearing

7. Suicide Veil
A sacrifice in the flight of dawn The beauty of twisted reality In my heart, my dreams
A sacrifice for freedom Alone in the grace of the dark The pains of a failed generation
I longed for the death of the sun Another glorious revelation Destiny's plan for ruin
I danced with the shadows In tranquil chaos, I lay naked in the rain An interception of light A disturbing memory This suicide veil I wear in shame
