1. Stairway to Hell
2. Falling Snow
3. This is Power
4. The Wind in the Willows
1. Stairway to Hell
I take one step at a time
The sun shines on my back
The darkness greteth me
And sings in front of me
Like the stream runs to the sea
To in equivalence rest and be
I go to where truth lies
I run from illusions of dreams
I run from where happiness seems
For me the promised land
Is not where the sea meets the sand
For me the promised land
Is where no illusions are at hand
I take the stairway to below
I walk the stairway to below
I take two steps at a time
To hurry and to leave
To leave the birchen groove behind
Where the grass gleams between the trunks
Sunbeams sprinkle down on the ground
As the wind whispers the leaves aside
But I see through the lies of dreams
This is not the truth you see
For the leaves are as dead as they can be
For me the promised land
Is not where the sea meets the sand
For me the promised land
Is where no illusions are at hand
Now you know where I walk
I walk the stairway to below
With the scream in my throat
I turn my back on what seems bright
Into the dark out of the light
I feel my anger subside
2. Falling Snow
The snow dances slowly down
From my home
Settling lightly on my wings
White and soft possesses the magic
To create silence
Soothing my pained ears
Rounding and smoothing shapes
Angular and hard lay now underneath
Letting my weary eyes again see
What forever lost will be
Oh, I welcome the snow
I long for my home
Yet I may not yet return
my mission here is not complete
But still I yearn, i yearn
To come home
I wish the words: Heaven to heaven, Sky to sky, Air to air
To, by the call of the gods, be uplifted
To the heavens, oh, the heavens
The snow welcomes you to, To the silent land, Of the whitest sand, of the softest
Brand, now Take its hand, you know it is
So, know, where I go, Know why I you
Leave, See, forever three, Heaven, sky and air
I was sent here on a mission
From above I came, back above I will return
Oh, I welcome the snow
I long for my home
Yet I may not yet return
my mission here is not complete
But still I yearn, i yearn
To come home
3. This is Power
On through the boring day
Up through the endless grey
From the soaked soil
And up through the trees
Spring so clear, up, from the obscure
Clear and fresh, an intoxicating breath
The flood of inspiration pure
Drawn from the rain we endure
This is power
At last the time is here
To rise and shine and elevate
On top of the world we scream
This is the power supreme
We hold the moment in our hands
A thousand points of light
Our endless grasp
From the sky to the underside of the world
We can wake the world
We can make it live
And our presence –lightning, as bright as glory
Life and power we can give
This is power!
4. The Wind in the Willows
On through the boring day
Up through the endless grey
From the soaked soil
And up through the trees
Spring so clear, up, from the obscure
Clear and fresh, an intoxicating breath
The flood of inspiration pure
Drawn from the rain we endure
This is power
At last the time is here
To rise and shine and elevate
On top of the world we scream
This is the power supreme
We hold the moment in our hands
A thousand points of light
Our endless grasp
From the sky to the underside of the world
We can wake the world
We can make it live
And our presence –lightning, as bright as glory
Life and power we can give
This is power!
