Let Us Rise 02:44
Let us rise rise open our eyes to the Light within Let us rise rise open our eyes to the Love within Let us rise rise open our eyes to the Heart within Let us rise rise open our eyes to the Sky within
2.
Red Morning 02:18
There’s a red storm warning brewing overhead churning waters hiding what is dead we need a wind blowing cold and straight take this ship to the ulcer wound of hate Awake in the storm alive in the pain the rain is a bath scrubbed clean by the rain Red is the light long is the night hope becomes thin the light comes again Night turns to light gone beyond the fright safe harbor nears gone are the fears
3.
Rented Bones 02:35
The endless sky won't dry your eye, nor shed a tear for thee The rain won't quench your deepest thirst, nor sunrise help you see The mountain won't provide your quest, or lift your legs in turn The wind will kiss your every step, until your cheeks do burn The mystic won't reveal your path, nor take away your fear Your ears won't let you listen in, they only seem to hear The traveler never leaves their home, tomorrow never comes Yesterday will always ache inside these rented bones Just because you spend your time running round the rim, doesn't mean you can't tip back and let yourself fall in.
4.
Fly Inside 02:17
I Fly on through you I Fly on I Fly on to you I From outside into you I Fly From outside I Fly into you I Fly I From outside into you Fly
5.
Unmasked 02:36
No matter if its crown or shroud everyone's stuck here on the ground All this talk of fly away We're not going far today Burn that shroud or toss the crown Fake your life, you're going down Some suggest you fake your way Here is what you have to say NO I will not wear that mask today!
6.
You can't take off what you don't put on You can't put on what you don't let in You can't let in what you don't let go You can't let go what you don't take in

Celtic Epic 04:22
At dawn they rose unfurled the sail to start their journey home. Abandoned hope of reaching shore with crew, all lives intact. Oh perilous their journey home did promise to become. To sail between the isle of woe and island of dismay. To guard their hearts from demon lust and wardens of decay. Guarding prisons of darkest thought in mountains of despair. Their passage guarded only by their thoughts of wayward light. Forgetting was their only sin, their punishment swiftly wrought. The mountains root knew no name, but heat did serve to take. With rivers of fear running through, but thirst not to be slaked. Hold fast the oars and lock the doors when threading through the eye. Look outward not for guided way, past anything but sky. The isles call forth every soul, the wise sail straight on by. And here this tale does end its thread, the meaning does abide. Sail but straight and ye shall know the darkness that shall rise.

Soaring 04:40
10.
Lady Moon 03:12
Lady Moon come to my dreams Ride your beams around my head Dreamtime flight arrival plan Riding through my head of sand Threads of thought Sewing up these concepts wrought Sailing through this light beam land Riding high on ships of sand From sun-kissed boardwalk by the sea Here to blue eternity
11.
My eyes are dotted across your cup of tea Waiting for the chili dog to bark It pays to have friends in green places May your liver spots be ever clear Zebra skeleton flash Lost on the real thing Flicker flash Like a merry go round Once per green horse Horse hound Pulled from the bar Gaping wound of play fun Bolt holes and paint chipped eyes Staring for the ride to stop Radiator laughs hiss stops into the Glottal nightmare music darkness The painting pony trots along the fence of your mine your mine he says Mining for diamonds in the rough hands around your plywood past Ocean tears pouring from the eye of the Sun Roaring toward you in the night light sky Night light night light day liquor.
