You, Silent You
01:59
|
|||
|
Through the flames
Over isles and bridges
All of the highways
And deep gorge ridges
With you
Silent you
Caught your eye
Caught a limb...keeled over
The dream will die
As our graves grown over
|
||||
2. |
The Sleep Song
05:03
|
|||
|
Alight is your fortress
To guard against the night
Your eyelids - an island
Unknown and undefiled
And though you'll awake alone
A sleep song will carry you
A shroud - draped in ivory
Unseen to those with sight
Your breath slows to murmur
As black winds pass you by
For all seen and heard...felt and learned
The four winds fill your dreams
With memories

For the Love We Knew
04:49
|
|||
|
Let it rain
Let us start anew
I remain
Indebted to you
For eyes of azure fire
For rings set true
For all of those languid soldiers
That just marched on through
For the love we knew
|

The Harness and the Wing
04:08
|
|||
|
Old father Meadows
So saintly and so clean
Died in the chapel
Amongst his jewels and rings
Buried together
With harness and a wing
|

Tyranny & Sanctity
01:54

A Scar Exposed
03:37
|
|||
|
Lakes of ire
Funereal fire
You came to me as a dream
Ascend, descend
In ritual, bleeding
Set on course for infamy
And we sing for you, my love
Of the freezing waters below
Of the dream that all will feed
And of those that need to most
Of the raging eyes
That set to blaze those souls of fire and ice
Watchful eye
With winged desire
You lay in wait indignantly
A sordid past
Desirous lust
A scar exposed for all to see
|

Casting Shadows
03:52
|
|||
|
We are sons and mothers, all
Sharing ills, we face a fall
And it's hard to be wise in turbulent times
Through the night in moonlit streams
We cast shadows over dreams
And it's hard to be kind all of the time
Through the ageless eye
Of centuries passed by
We perceive ourselves;
A godless symphony
As we draw near to flame and plume
Seething mist, encroaching gloom
|
||||
8. |
The Resistance
03:07
|
|||
|
The silos all are empty
This flame will never yield
Take our life-blood, proper
Take this broken seal
They silenced friends and family
Forced to cede defeat
Threatened lives and treaties
Defiled and bred deceit
They came for all of our money
They came to take the claim
But when we fired those muskets
...the fell red blood did rain
|
||||
9. |
Regret
02:48
|
|||
|
The solemn trail through the forest
Was your pleasure in the night
But it haunts you daily...there is no respite
From the anguish that you feel
As the wild-woods you had concealed
...now they are burning
Consumed by the fire
Years on, you're obliged to admit
That you have been wrong
For the toil, the loss and regret
Those arches, golden, lay broken
|
||||
10. |
||||
|
The black gate is open
Rabid hordes issue through
The clock hands are tethered
And the hours become few
The oceans are rising
Once great rivers are pools
While sentinels gather wealth and privilege
For fools
There's a full moon rising
And graves to be filled
There are tools being sharpened
And no rich soil to till
When it rains tears and ashes
Our songs and voices be stilled
Nations and armies
Spears and arrows fired and thrown
The timely release of dust
Two hemispheres aglow
For twelve million vagrant victims
No direction home
While wage rights and native title
Fill fictional tomes
