CONTINENTAL ISOLATION
On a hemisphere that’s been turned around
It is hard to find our own sacred ground
Knowing our blood has been flowing from land never seen
From a Northern line to a Southern birth
I have memories of a different Earth
Whether it’s Summer or Winter in June
We all draw our power from the same Moon
On the eve of Samhain
When the twilight called her mother cried
On the eve of Samhain
A door opened wide
On the eve of Samhain
When the twilight called her mother cried
And from the sea
Came an ancient memory
And from the sea
Came an ancient memory
And from the sea
Came an ancient memory
It was the mirror of her ancestry
Does our ebbing tide cover Northern rocks?
Is the ocean still at each Equinox?
Is it the Moon that is breathing this tide in our veins?
When your Samhain shines we have Beltaine bright
And our longest day is your longest night
Solstices swapping to stress to this nation
It’s continental isolation
On the eve of Samhain
When the twilight called her mother cried
On the eve of Samhain
A door opened wide
On the eve of Samhain
When the twilight called her mother cried
And from the sea
Came an ancient memory
And from the sea
Came an ancient memory
And from the sea
Came an ancient memory
It was the mirror of her ancestry
SIRENS
I am doomed
Doomed to hear
Voices other people fear
I am doomed
From above
Some god has doomed me to love
Tie me tightly
Honey toned sirens are beckoning
Almost nightly they sing
Come near come near
Lovelier music you’ll never hear
To you alone
We call to grace our meadow of bone
I have lived
I have died
Now that I’ve heard them my soul has cried
I have dreams
Dreams of pain
Knowing I’ll hear them again
Tightly bind me
Sirens of sorrow and suffering
Always find me and sing
Come near come near
Lovelier music you’ll never hear
To you alone
We call to grace our meadow of bone
CHARIOT
He rode a chariot
Too fast to capture
I was pinned to the ground
I would have sunk deeper
Had not the Earth’s surface
Prevented my falling
He may have been calling
But a woman can’t fly!
Drive into the velvet night
With your eyes aflame
And your soul alight
Drive, kissing the crystal dome
Leaving me all alone
To taste the breathing sky
Stars and Moon separate
Why try to imitate
Sweet Earthbound lovers when I
Lying here willingly
Witness you filling me
With sweeter heaven’s sigh
He blew a trumpet
A trumpet of victory
I sang a soft song
A song that can mesmerize
Siren song softly
You’re tempting a lover
And all under cover
Of waxing moon sky
Drive into the crying night
Where the air is cold
And the cosmos bright
Drive, too far away from me
Just like a memory
That skids across my eyes
Eternal energy
Will horses carry me
Closer to your skies?
Two creatures leading you
It’s not a simple thing to do
To balance black and white.
DEMIGOD
When your wishes fall like dew
From a forbidding moon and rise in steam
Before a calling sun, then trust me darling
Life has just begun
When each sense seems sweetly sick
From overladen joy and life feels thick
To even honey touch
Lie with me in meadows sweet
I’ll offer you much
Much much more
I’ll be your Empress
And you will love me
I’ll wear scattered roses on my dress
With you above me
All that was night will be achingly bright
And the sky will be blue
And we’ll live Dionysian dreams
You never imagined would come true
And when you have satiated
Every mortal sense and life seems weighted
With a sweet ennui
Then rise above and take a cue from me
Pour the wine of dreams erotic
And you’ll transcend what was once exotic
To a higher plane
Where you can be a demigod
Again and again and again and again
I’ll be your Empress
And when you’re longing
You will be welcome in my garden of excess
And we’d belong in eternal rapture and
Darling I’d capture the Moon and the sea
And more than this we’d exist
In the lap of the gods
In ecstasy
CHILD THE FIRST
And now you’re here
And now you’re strong
With mind of sword
And power of wand
Each sense a coin to spend along
The path that you’ve been set upon
And now you’re here
With eyes as true
As sun is gold
Or ocean blue
And all is bright and all is new
Magician Child in front of you
You drip with my blood
It’s an offering
You slip through my water
A softening
Of all that’s before me
And all is before you
Child The First
And you are ability
And you are dexterity
You’re pure possibility
And Magic, and Alchemy
And you will be changed
But changing, change destiny
And you, you can do anything
Anything
Everything
Child The First
PROMETHEUS
So, you’ve come again
Tear me with talons and slap me with feathers
Once, I could depend
On death, my friend
So, you’ve come again
Time becomes reckoned on wings that are beating
And the day begins screaming
I am still here
A thousand years
I am still here
A thousand deaths
I am still here
So hear me cry
Feed on me feed on me feed on me
But promise me I’ll die
For the last time
Ocean’s endless time
Eats at the Earth and the rock and my memory
I recall the crime
The clay
The fire
Man, I made divine
Curses mortality, yearning eternal
But immortal I’m screaming
I am still here
A thousand years
I am still here
A thousand deaths
I am still here
So hear me cry
Feed on me feed on me feed on me
But promise me I’ll die
For the last time
So, you’ve come again
Flight of the eagle that rises totemic
Do I fear the pain
Or the weakness?
So you’ve come again
Now that my nightmare has patched me together
I can die again
Screaming
I am still here
A thousand years
I am still here
A thousand deaths
I am still here
So hear me cry
Feed on me feed on me feed on me
But promise me I’ll die
For the last time
BELTANE
Take a step beyond the circle
Light entices,
But passion is tempered with fear
Of somehow being mistaken
Trust me, I’m feeling my senses awaken
All that is real we have yet to discover
So be my lover
Days will echo
And rapturous night we will slowly uncover
When you’re my lover
Reason will dance like a fool
I feel I have stepped beyond the circle
Through the centre of a star
I feel I could glide effortlessly
To live within the same dream you are
Take the kiss anticipated
With a summer each sound separated
And take your past
But hold it lightly
Memory’s heavy if it’s held too tightly
All that is real we have yet to discover
So be my lover
Days will echo
And rapturous night we will slowly uncover
When you’re my lover
Reason will dance like a fool
I feel as light as a feather
Nothing’s holding me together now
I feel I have stepped beyond a mountain
And have landed on a cloud
ODYSSEY
Lonely the ship that’s in search of a home
Lonely the hunter who’s stalking the day
Lonely the sea we eternally roam
Loneliest now as we sail away
These are the times when you taste of your soul
Tossed on an ocean and driven by need
Pain in escaping, or reaching your goal
Drink of the blood and you’ll certainly bleed
So like Odysseus
Travel the wine faced sea
Guided by longing
Haunted by memory
I, like Calypso, will offer ambrosial night
Brave are the nameless in search of a name
Brave the explorer who journeys inside
Brave are the aimless in search of an aim
Bravest are those who let love be their guide
These are the times when you taste of your soul
Tossed on an ocean and driven by need
Pain in escaping, or reaching your goal
Drink of the blood and you’ll certainly bleed
So like Odysseus
Travel the wine faced sea
Guided by longing
Haunted by memory
I, like Calypso, will offer ambrosial night
SELINE OF THE INFINITE SOLUTION
Take me to another place
Where I’ll no longer hurt
When friends throw dirt
Into my face
Take me to another time
When what has been before
I can ignore and leave behind
Seline of the infinite solution
Control my confusion
And save me from wandering
Now that I’ve ascended the tower
Please give me the power to scream
Lead me to the darkened night
Where I’ll at least be blind
To what I’d find in brighter light
Lead me from this lunacy
Where I can still pretend
To love a friend betraying me
Seline of the infinite solution
Control my confusion
And save me from wandering
Now that I’ve ascended the tower
Please give me the power to scream
Take me now
Far away
Take me over mountains glazed in sliver shadows
Take me now
To a field
Where I’ll dance in circles spinning widdershins
Seline of the infinite solution
Control the intrusion
Of monstrous seas of human faces
Light from you will soon disempower
The minds that devour my dreams
PSYCHE’S SISTERS
Beware the people who tell you you’re beautiful
Beauty more golden than Venus’s faded immortality
Beware of their sighs
Beware the people who whisper your voice is more liquid than silver
And tempting as only the sirens could be
They’re telling you lies
Ask what they’re seeking and hope that today you are wise
Then turn, turn from their eyes
They’re telling you lies
Turn, turn from their eyes
The tender soul cries
Turn, turn from their eyes
They’re thieves in disguise
Beware the people who listen to oracles
Words can be shifted
And truths can be twisted and strangely denied.
Beware their advice
Beware the people who dress you in finery
Follow processionally
Knowing that Death will be claiming his bride
They’re telling you lies
Ask what they’re seeking and hope that today you are wise.
Then turn, turn from their eyes
They’re telling you lies
Turn, turn from their eyes
The tender soul cries
Turn, turn from their eyes
They’re thieves in disguise
Beware the women who come dressed in finery
Dripping in flattery
Planting the seed of the poison tree
Beware their disguise
Beware the women who tell you your love can be
Only a sorrow
And beauty’s tomorrow shines monstrously
They’re telling you lies
Watch them descending and hope that uncertainly dies
Why do you come here and question my joy?
Why do you plant in my heart a disease?
Why do you smile at those you destroy?
Why do I listen to people like these?
Why am I part of the plans they devise?
They’re thieves in disguise.
FALLING BEHIND ME
Falling behind me
I feel the shadow
Aching its fingers
Into the places I had hoped to keep a dreamworld
But nothing’s safe
No, not from this
I have not stumbled
But I have swallowed the abyss
I’m empty now
Pure emptiness
There’s nothing left
I’ll just go to sleep now
ZERO
Rise softly eastern sky
Gateway to an inner world
Open the day and close the night
And life will flow through you
Now I see before me swirling element of Air
A purple sky to kiss the night goodbye and there,
The winds of birth, of change flow gently through my hair
All space is here all time is now
Burn brightly Northern Sky
Summer blue and glorious
A zenith sun ignites your eye
And fire flows through you
Now I feel before me before me warming mind and soul and skin
The cosmic fire fuels the fire deep within
With wand in hand beneath the Summer flames I’ll sing
All space is here all time is now
Melt slowly Western sky
Backdrop to this shadow world
All life is danced before your eyes
And night, it flows through you
Now I see before me curved horizon like a cup
To catch the twilight that the sky is giving up
And love and pain and hope and fear and joy erupt
All space is here all time is now
Shine coldly Southern sky
Winter night so beautiful
A waning moon, embroidered stars
To navigate the winter
Now I hear before me silence old and cold and clear
A hermit song, a sigh of earth of passing years
But winter sun, you offer so much more than fear
All space is here, all time is now
So cosmic universe, spiralling here with us
Everything you know,
Sky above and Earth below
Open each door and the elements four
Will join hand, and they’ll dance in a zero
FROST AT MIDNIGHT
I kiss the sky
Where the ravens fly
Knowing that some day
I will fly there too
Indigo blue
Tell me what I hope is true
Cos I fear
Drawing near
What I fear, they're calling
Telling me the sky is falling
Death comes to me
As beautifully
As night flows slowly through twilight's door
And gallop in the four
And gallop in the four
And gallop in the four
I kiss the sea
Neptune will you welcome me
When my soul is free
To swim alone
Wrap me in foam
I will drown in depths unknown
As your bride I'll abide
In your widest ocean
Dressed in white to sing devotion
Death comes to me
As seductively
As ocean kissing a sighing shore
And gallop in the four
And gallop in the four
And gallop in the four
I kiss the Earth
Mother or eternal birth
You may have my first breath and my last
Where in your past
Was the line of my life cast?
As you reel me in
Feel me
I'm stealing time
I try to break this mortal line
But Death comes to me
As incessantly
As frost at midnight in winter's core
And gallop in the four
And gallop in the four
And gallop in the four
