4. Beside And Beyond
1. The Sleep Of Innocence
Pastures new, unseen but vacant
Where she waits to guide me through
A scene of light diverted
My soul a quest for truth
A dream held from observation
A want, a need for her
To hold and to keep me restless
My fear, my symphonies dearth
Take my life...my dreams...my soul
Take me
Where's my freedom?
Landscapes of the mind eternal
She thinks of dying breed
Bride, she waits for feeling
A warmth that stems from need
Distraught of sleep unfeeling
A maze of lost and drowned
I feel unkempt, afraid
...walking to her now
Take my life...dreams...soul
Take me
Where's your pity?
Striving to find the night's embrace
As the frosty mountains call to me
The sunset fades behind my eyes
A splinter of what's there for me
Persephone stands, silent in her grief
To lead me to my Elysian dream
...a smile for all is known and lost
For there she waits to usher me...
2. Chasing Leaves
Chase the falling leaves
Forever elusive
And where they fall is what dreams recall
Where sorrows die, where fortunes lie
Where saviours can be seen and all life will be
Caught in the falling leaves; forever to be free
And in all our dreams remain, the fear of falling rain
And so we run... to catch them
Chase the falling leaves
Forever elusive
And where they fall, we catch them all
Lost to eternal need to find a dreams reprieve
And through our failings lost, the dream becomes a must
Desire to fill this void left by a mind denied
And in chasing leaves we lose what's meant to be
And so we run... to catch them
Fear the dreams release
When anger turns to grief
Sorrow turns to lies
Our failures into cries
3. Bonfire Of The Vanities
With blackest intent I caress your joy
Leaving bleakness in the far side of your mind
The thorns grow ensnaring all that dreams
Creativity will die
As the dying winter closes in
The stone of my soul draws on your love
In the drowning your saviour will die
And failing is your only faith
Seeing your vanity relayed
Driving love from the bonfire of self
In the frozen your spirit will decrease
And failing; a scripture for the damned
Unholy in this erotic night
Black encroaches, awaiting your light
As the dying winter closes in
The stone of your soul draws on your love
In the drowning your saviour will be freed
And dines on manna from my soul
"The flesh surrenders itself
Eternity takes back its own
Our bodies stirred these waters briefly
And danced with a certain intoxication
Before the love of life and self dealt a few strange ideas
And then submitted to the instruments of time.
A parade of smoke blackened altars
...and the falling of the moon"
Adapted from Frank Herbert,
from the 'Dune' series
4. Beside And Beyond
Fly at the storm unguarded
With a wishes breath to guide you
And my minds pure thought
To escape creations hue
Your fever rises to drown me
Swallowing desire in its path
Unhalted by the moment
Tomorrow's caress stirs the wave
Feeling her melodies played
And pulling her to me
Gripped in dream state I leave you
Alone...you shall be free
As the moon seeks shelter from the biting hand
I stumble to find you
Lost as I am...
...in my inner lake
Drowning without you
Feelings hold the key to this memory
Of our time to come
...when we'll drown for eternity
(Forever)
Feeling your melodies played
And pulling her to me
Gripped in dream state I leave you
Alone you shall be free
