1.	Dreamy Nowhere 06:46	lyrics	buy track
Defeat the giants of your mind Leave the cycle Open the eyes of the sight Remain in the spiral Keep pushing from the fall Pierce through it The way out’s always there Undergo, keep on The thinking mind is nothing, nothing but a sting Only deception masquerading as wings Rising above still not able to see Flew to the clouds only to sleep. Blinded by light I see Let go off the breaking forward, let go off the break of chains To die every day, as mortal, to live in this cage. Let go off the breaking forward, let go off the break of chains To awake all the love eternal, to uncover this flame.
2.	Beyond the Sky 12:07	lyrics	buy track
It awaits, in its eternal Loveful receiver of souls A landscape of fiery flowers, of diamonds in the upper black hole I desire to be among them To rest in my very true home Go beyond worldly senses Leave these scars and return! It takes me away A lighting of varying forms Through familiar gazes Towards beautiful places Moving at the speed of light No horror, nor fright The movement of your heart’s beyond Everything I’ve ever known In this space I fly, I stand still without a sight to perceive Why did I want to see beyond the… SKY?! A dance so splendidly synchronized Of spheres and streams of glow Now I’m able to witness The plain in which this revolting Spectacle gave me life A life that’s burning within me! In a new state of existence I’m nowhere at all Nowhere’s at the centre Of being everywhere This, my new dwelling place Surrounded by the true light Hear the song of my victory “Absolute Listening”!! Embellished by the radiance of a thousand night-suns Driven to the end Rest in these arms Now I’ve connected My heart to it all Energy is overflowing Universal breath Whirling motions Turning around me Deciphering all origin Depicting the source As I disintegrate all matter, and the void becomes all again The realization comes There is no birth, nor is there death. I’ve always been And there was no I I am this and this is me Life’s Beyond forever
3.	The Gift 13:30	lyrics	buy track
A man of many sorrows Sought sleep The world outside his shelter Covered him A wanderer passed by and entered Saw a tangled mind, half asleep Picked him up, and questioned: “Why is it that you insist? Trying to control fate like this?” I’ve, since long ago Lost my gift Now, my vain endeavor Lays in thought I tried to find magic In action and thought My own false control Turned me distraught “Fool, you underestimate the path and the guidance the sufferer obtains.” “Why is it that you insist? Trying to control fate like this?” I’ve, since long ago Lost my gift Now, my main endeavor Is in my mind “Listen to that voice Resides within Follow it through A guide so bright The painting’s done Stars now woven Will not move Nor will Wyrd shift” Desperately, I’ve confined myself In a cell without walls. But now, with the infinite upon me with its love so pure Free!! A light shines In the distance Hills on the horizon Take form, embrace me The world spins Movement and form Swallowed by me The timeless being I was there At the birth of our world Old memories Atavism and instinct Giants of stone and fire In long night surrounded me Built this world Forged reality
4.	Celestial Cities 05:22	lyrics	buy track
See and comprehend just now How creation is endless No beginning to the eternal No ending to the endless It flows right through me Expanding emanations of the essence Parallel to formless chaos Exists in possibility The ever shining sweetness Brings motion into form I commence and I witness to the very end The wholeness within Prior to this same existence Devoid of polarity and being it all The constant everywhere It is it and us You and we Sets planets into motion Draws air into lungs The ever shining sweetness Brings motion into form I commence and I witness to the very end The wholeness within
5.	Unpredictable 09:07	lyrics	buy track
You are not your mind Whirling pond of confusion Try to grasp the eternal sense Self Another perception Mortal shelf Carrier of a soul There is a field Covered in purple mist There is a field Where this dream would exist Unshaped by fatality Another form of life A signal from the brain Really goes nowhere Just a belief Planted in the void How do I Know if I’m alive Or if I am just A number to discard There is a field Covered in purple mist There is a field Where this dream would exist Unshaped by fatality Another form of life Drown in cosmic dust I behold the death of me Constantly the shapes Of this hourglass are lost
6.	The Final Star 10:16	lyrics	buy track
Silence has entered me In the well of night Lying so peacefully Among sacred ground The only surroundings The beings divine Time, befallen me To reach the sky These are fallen stars Close to us Flowers of beauty and light A bed sublime These, our fallen stars Surrounding us Flowers of beauty and light The Final Star! I’m being awaken by a frosty air The staggering wilderness smiling at me Knowing my presence Forgiving my life It has always loved me Before I was here These are fallen stars Close to us Flowers of beauty and light A bed sublime These, our fallen stars Surrounding us Flowers of beauty and light The Final Star! Why’s it always chased me? Found me in every dark spot? Even with my eyes set in hope With my heart racing to belong The shadow hands Never left at all Made it all my fault Made their way deep into my soul Is this my exit? The final fall? Or just a return The leaving of my form My spirit won’t wander Rather, I will go home To the final Final Star Final Star, Final Star Let your light shine on!
