SENTIENT 

Distractions from the truths we dare not face...
At the edge of the universe, there are a million angels... 

ANGELICA 

Where are you tonight?
Wild flower in starlit heaven
Still enchanted in flight
Obsessions lament to freedom
A timeless word, the meanings changed
But I`m still burning in your flames
Incessant, lustral masquarade
Unengaged, dimlit love didn`t taste the same
And I wonder if you ever wonder the same
And I still wonder 

THE BELOVED 

Another day unfolds, still I exist
Never felt so cold
I never knew I was turning away
Though I can`t explain
I only love you know that your missed
As I stand in the rain, just leave me to go through this
I don`t think I could face another sleepless night
If I could only trace that elusive light
In a dreamland flight to your agonizing eyes
A neverending flight, my silent cries
Still I close my eyes and my mind becomes clear
Still I dream, and there you are...
How still you lie and how your eyes bring back the fear
Still I can`t face what`s going on in here...
Everything that I`ve ever felt has gone
At last my spirit breathes
I see no point in going on
So goodbye...
It`s time for me to leave 

ETERNITY PART I 

As I turn away from a life so grey,
Where have all the flowers gone?
Just what went wrong?
Innocence, insanity, irony
Stone cold reality
Oh lord come and save me
Do you think we`re forever?
I`ve been in tears
Hope has died in me
But now I`m here, I don`t wish to leave
Trapped in time
A miragge of hope and change
A swirling mass, no mercy now
If the truth hurts prepare for pain
Do you think we`re forever?
The unseen, the eternal river of understanding
Persevering, dying escape
Forever tempting fate
Take me back
A flood of tears bonding my soul with my mind
A dream of love, reality closing in behind
As I close my eyes, the vision dies
As I bid my last farewell to mankind
The unseen, the eternal river of understanding
Persevering, dying escpae
Forever tempting fate
Take me back

HOPE 

words (singing part) & music : Harper, Gilmour
voice (spoken part) : Roy Harper
I came alone as me
Just an idea in a long chain of discovery
Surrounded by the same you
Sometimes your tide pulls me out to sea
and I die in a thrashing curse
Sometimes we are kind
More often, I doze
So far up the beach that those who try to reach are burnt alive
in the searing heat of the desert of my dispassion
So far removed, I never hear the water
`Cept once or twice a month when I see a mirror
And I refuse to believe in some of the things
that are said to be here
Let alone those that are not
I`m trying to change my direction
Ours is pathetic in my own humble estimation
I love the planet, the great benign she-wolf, benefactor
Spinning gently on towards the red giant four aeons hence
When all the rose gardens are consumed
in the flash-fire of flying time
She`ll leave alone to you
When you look at me from your own century
I may seem to be strange archeology
But when the winds blow from this direction
You may sense me there in your reflection
I think I feel you but I will never know
As the swallows leave and the children grow
I wanted to live forever
The same is you will too
I wanted to live forever
And everybody knew
When I caught you there in tomorrows mirror
I thought felt you jump out of my skin
Throwing oil into my blazing memories
Filling empty footsteps I was standing in
I wanted to live forever
The same is you will too
I wanted to live forever
And everybody knew
With the falling rain of the northern jungle
Hanging droplets on the leaves bombards my brain
I hear you across the room
A sea of daffodils spring into bloom
You are the mist
The frost across my window pane and again
She moves her body and her whispers weave
And the world spins
And tells me that I`ll never wanna leave
When I look at you on this dark century
It must always be with generosity
That we both may share the hope in hearing
That we`re not just spirits disappearing 

SUICIDE VEIL 

A sacrifice in the flight of dawn
The beauty of twisted reality
In my heart, my dreams
A sacrifice for freedom
Alone in the grace of the dark
The pains of a failed generation
I longed for the death of the sun
Another glorious revelation
Destiny`s plan for ruin
I danced with the shadows
In tranquil chaos, I lay naked in the rain
An interception of light
A disturbing memory
This suicide veil I wear in shame 

RADIANCE 

Inside...
The dark is fading away
I don`t want to be alone anymore
Inside...
The light of dawn is here once more
The light...
Darkness is slipping away
Of dawn...
I don`t want to be alone
Is here...
Won`t you stay?
Not a word passed your lips
Just a golden kiss
As I whispered silently
"Help me through this" 

FAR AWAY 

One common, subterranean 
destination
One life, another day
A vestal child unveiled by temptation
Innocence slips away
Far away
Been down so long
Too deep the water that I tread
Sometimes I feel myself going under
Sometimes I envy the dead
So take me far away
Far away 

ETERNITY PART III 

So little time
Your crystal eyes gaze into mine
A burning flame
Forever dreaming, dreaming a lie
Trapped inside internal eyes
Caressed by innocence, a sanctuary for your mind
Born alone beneath pale sardonic skies
One love, one life, one sorrow
I won`t reproach myself this time,
A condemned man, granted a sweet reprieve
A turn of fate, a genial twist of the knife
Undying affection for life
Ever to return?
A significant conception
Ever to return?
Ever to return? 

CRIES ON THE WIND 

Reaching out... How things look different on the way down
Disillusioned, I`ve lost desire
Will I burn in the unforgiving fire?
From the flames, I walk away
I`ve found a way to erase the pain
An empty bottle, my receptacle
A guardian angel called escape
Don`t dwell on the forthcoming
As I know it won`t be happening
And you know, when I`m gone
You`ll hear my cries on the wind
