1.
Shattering Sea
|
|
That is not my blood on the bedroom floor That is not the glass that I threw before He gets his power from tide and wave The grains of sand are my domain His tempest surged and angry flesh And through my arms formed a sea of glass Shattering sea Closing my eyes Shattering sea Closing my eyes Shattering sea Closing my eyes Every line Every curve Every twist Every turn Of every brutal word Every turn (every line) Every line (every curve) Every twist (every turn) Every curve Of every brutal word That is not my blood on the bedroom floor That is not the glass that I threw before |

Snowblind
|
|
Some get SnowBlind with the daylight But then with the Night for once see clearly Through fox's eyes, I've been watching you How do you free your mind so that you're not confined By our concept of what we call Time? Follow me Call me Anabelle Some get SnowBlind with the daylight But then with the Night for once see clearly I will follow you, Anabelle Just imagine Him up there upon that hill Over 3,000 years from now til then A key fragment of you and him And one I must now bring back I'm Wondering Were you giants or friends? Even the Morrigan? Lovers or Enemies? One or all of these? |

Battle of Trees
|
|
Our language of love the Battle of Trees we fought side by side No one had more sharper consonants than you love and my vowels, well, were trusted First comes the Birch Rowan followed by the Ash then through the Alder she forms and merges with Willow The Hawthorne blossoms as the Oak guards the door "She" is the hinge on which the year swings He courts the Lightning Flash and Her Summoning the spirits through incantations ou said "the Thunder God seems to have, in our enemies, his own Laureate" But we knew The Furies held the Holly sacred We were insulated in a circle of words we'd drawn with wisdom sent from nine Hazels a Rowan fire and a Willow rod At ten comes the Vine that generates bramble wine The constant change of the Night Sun a song in the blood of the white bull Our language of love the Battle of Trees we fought side by side No one had more sharper consonants than you, love and my vowels, well, were trusted From Ivy leaves is an ale that can unveil The hidden meanings and serpents only revealed through visions Yes, vowels could insert "A" was for the Silver Fir the Firs or Gorse then came next with Heather at her most passionate The White Poplar's gift to the souls of the dead a promise that it was not the end But for the Vine the Yew, it's coffin Vowels and consonants the power of trees the power they hold the power of prose So when the church began to twist the old myths They built their own Tower of Babel from Ulster to Munster The Reed gave way then to the Elder The Earth turns her wheel so that Night follows Day From Dawn to Dawn From Winter to Winter The day the Ash had power over the Alder Our language of love the Battle of Trees we fought side by side then he said to me, "I've dodged bullets and even poisoned arrows only to be felled by the blade of a vowel" |

Fearlessness
|
|
Fearlessness blew in with the wind waking up to greet the sun we sailed on like the ancient ones into the night underworld we knew dangers would come i had faith in both of us Listen to your heart (you can hear me) listen to your heart (you can hear me) Day turned night when he questioned why can't you balance the sky? souless storms have sent watchers with bladeless weapons to fight Teams of horses of the brine followed his cries through the fire demons of the wild hissed with the wind did you listen? Listen to your heart (can you hear me?) listen to your heart (can you hear me?) Fearlessness soon reminded me you must be stronger then they cautioning there those who live to be cruel for the fun of it He let in a dark companion that orbited between us his siren friends convinced him that love was no match against storms to come their songs inflamed by doubt fearlessness drowned them out Teams of horses of the brine followed his cries through the fire demons of the wild hissed with the wind did you listen? Listen to your heart can you hear me? listen to your heart can you hear me? Did we begin without knowing it? to find fault in every gift then that was when the blame began what were once two forces joined in fearlessness |

Cactus Practice
|
|
Maybe he and I are like a pair of Suns that are captured Maybe he and I are like a pair of Suns that are captured Eternally linked into chasing each others' spin Eternally linked into chasing each others' spin Bound by beliefs that have become steel cords Why the disharmony? Let's re-sing my world With a harmonic defiance, I'll face this I'd like to induct you into the drink of the cactus practice, cactus Cactus? Practice Will you induct me into the drink of the cactus practice, cactus? Cactus Practice Are you saying I'm Reactive but I can work with it Doll-face Every couple has their own version of what they call the truth? Every couple has their own version of what they call the truth Call all that lies beneath both stories back to my fire Embrace what you may find With a harmonic defiance, I'll face this It's time to induct you into the drink of the cactus practice, cactus Cactus? Cactus Practice I'd like to induct you into the drink of the cactus practice Cactus? Cactus Practice Will you induct me into the drink of the cactus practice Cactus |

Star Whisperer

Lost star whisperer where where where have you gone? Lost star whisperer will your Cloud Riders come? why why have you locked up your sky? Night Sky whisper me back to life Night warns of an eastern threat North calls reinforcements from the west Lost all reason guarded by the wise sing to life the Seven Lords of Time Lost star whisperer end for your Cloud Riders to come why why have you locked up your sky? Night Sky whisper me back to life then I heard you scream from the other side of the mountain I saw a "you" I didn't want to see I heard you scream from the other side of the mountain then I heard you scream from the other side of the mountain I saw a "me" I didn't want to see I heard you scream from the other side of the mountain Lost star whisperer where where have you gone? Forged of fire and song you warn Hate shadows Love Eight shadows long why why have you locked up your sky? Night Sky whisper me back to life |

Job's Coffin
|
|
Natashya Hawley: Job's coffin looks down Job's coffin looks down To see what mankind is gonna do there is a grid of disempowerment all forces are being called to dismantle this as Job's coffin looks down Job's coffin looks down to see what you're gonna do there exists a power of old who wanted earth to be controlled But She and She alone is her own She is her own Job's coffin looks down Job's coffin looks down Tori Amos: I cant be proud, proud of what I have done since time why do we women give ourselves away? we give ourselves away thinking somehow that will make him want to stay make him stay Job's coffin looks down at the day you shut your power down you must uncreate that destructive tendency let your fire start to heal the fury sister its time to bring it back online as Job's coffin looks down Job's coffin looks down to see what you're gonna do to see what you're gonna do |

Nautical Twilight
|
|
As the day gave way To Nautical Twilight I turned my back on The force of which I am made I am bound and gagged Rupturing a delicate balance When I left my world for his Day after day, as my city fades And is swallowed by his sea She is boundless Even breaking on the beach Every alchemist Knows fusion and fission Can unify or drive a force to split He has been possessed to drink of the spices From the east by his liquid mistress Which then pushed me into the lair of uranium She divides time between greed and his twin, Tyranny Day after day cities are betrayed And the earthly sons lay their blade And she is boundless But by then she has been frayed As the night gives way To Nautical dawn I can see I must activate The force of which I am made |

Your Ghost
|
|
You've left your ghost until tomorrow and then he must be sent to a strange address in the Mediterranean I met your ghost he has proposed I met your ghost he has proposed he needs some time alone then he'll stay with me then he'll visit your seven seas Please leave me your ghost I will keep him from harm Although I've learned that you were wounded My forest of glass caused enough damage as your tear satin crashing My ambers and my blues could have another use Your ghost has shown me our primroses could survive the frost if a gentle rivulet of flame is sustained tenderly He'll play a Beatles tune me, more a Bach fugue Is this such a great divide between your world and mine? They both can purify and heal what was cut and bruised Please leave me your ghost I will keep him from harm I understand that you've been wounded My ambers and my blues could have another use please leave me your ghost just leave me your ghost I will keep him warm I will keep him warm |

Edge of the Moon
|
|
Here on the edge of the moon Running from our future As I look back Your heart grabs my hand Asking me To remember a vow you made That would always take Me to the edge of the moon Circling pictures of you The time you sailed on Under the diamond eye Or for a dolphin who for a song had Crossed night To bring back your bride Under a warm Tuscan sun No cliff was too steep for us Here at the edge of the moon I surf a curve thrown by you And did you teach me to fly Past your marmalade sky So that after the waning and waxing of love You could find Me at the edge Here at the edge Me at the edge of The edge of the moon Now I'm going back Past that marmalade sky 'Cause you've got my waxing and waning As primitive girls You can stir the embers of the Lucy Inside of my soul Now I'm going back Past that marmalade sky 'Cause you've got my waxing and waning As primitive girls You can stir the embers of the Lucy Inside of my soul Now I'm going back Past that marmalade sky 'Cause you've got my waxing and waning As primitive girls You can stir the embers of the Lucy inside The Lucy inside Stir the Lucy inside of my soul Here at the edge Me at the edge of The edge of the moon |

The Chase
|
|
Tori: Out there are hunters Anabelle: Let's say predators Tori: I have weapons That could destroy them Anabelle: You must out-create It's the only way I am the hunter And the hunted Joined together Tori: You create duality Anabelle: And neutrality I must leave you With the Fire muse Show her the riddle It is serious If you lose Out there Tori: I'll be the hare Anabelle: Then I'm the greyhound Chasing after you Tori: Then I will change my frequency To a fish that thinks Anabelle: Then you will find yourself In the paws Of the otter Near her jaws Tori: Then I'll grow my wings As a flying thing Anabelle: Flying thing, you be warned I'm the falcon Tori: Watch me change Into a grain of corn Anabelle: A grain of corn Hear the alarm In your head I'm the hen Black and red And you're in my barn They would have won Use your head or you'll be dead |

Carry

Love, hold my hand Help me see with the dawn That those that have left Are not gone But they carry on As stars looking down As nature's sons And daughters of the heavens You will not ever be forgotten by me In the procession of the mighty stars Your name is sung and tattooed now on my heart Here I will carry, carry, carry you Forever You have touched my life So that now Cathedrals of sound are singing, are singing The waves have come to walk with you To where you will live in the land of you, Land of you You will not ever be forgotten by me In the procession of the mighty stars Your name is sung and tattooed now on my heart Here I will carry, carry, carry you Here I will carry, carry, carry you Forever. |
