[rev. Dec. 20, 2016]
As the essence bleeds out of me
Left with a presence all to see
Spiral constellation of sound
Led the path, the soul unwound
Woke today to a life called man
My evolution close at hand
Left my past, the future unfolds
New reasons for my story untold
In the wake of love
In the wake of love
And so hope is peace in me
All I ever wanted was to be free
Control desires oh I wish
But what is this that's in my dish?
Woman hurts like hell you know
But the fear is worse than love if slow
So onward plummet in our art
Life seems like a giddy dart
A trust becomes an only chance
To perform a stage of glory dance
I'd like to stash it in a drawer
Leave and forget by the nearest door
A bird in search by the window
Felt no alarm, the calm and still
In the wake of love
In the wake of love
And so hope is peace in me
All I ever wanted was to be free
Control desires oh I wish
But what is this that's in my dish?
And woman hurts like hell you know
But the fear is worse than love if slow
Wooh ooh ooh
Wooh ooh ooh
Wooh ooh ooh ooh

One night in sensation
When the world comes undone
A long rush of flavour
All over the tongue
Leaves her mark on the table
Leaves her mark on my mind
The past drifting wayward
Melts into the sublime
The lost lonely saviour
Got a wind in the sail
All's left just to follow
The scent of her trail
Now walks out concentration
Leaves a mark on my hand
Mother Nature connection
Only act on command
Leaves her mark on the table
Leaves her mark on my hand
Leaves her mark on the table
Leaves her mark on my mind
Leaves her mark on my mind

I know I made you angry
So many times before
But when I feel you near me
Nothing makes me feel more
I've loved you for all these years
Don't want you to go
You don't know what love is
If you don't know what to do now
Sometimes love is like the tide
If we only wait this problem will subside
I know if we live through this
There's a lot of trouble we'll pass into bliss
There isn't often times I pray
Like the night that we began
Yet I'd rather not betray
The fight of the partisan
I know there's been so many
Promises and histories
Meant to break or hem in
I'm free to know what love is
Sometimes love is like the tide
If we only wait this problem will subside
I know if we live through this
There's a lot of trouble we'll pass into bliss

And we'll ride horses in the sand
Yeah, we'll ride horses in the sand
Cool waves wash across a blood-stained lands
Silver precious loves slip through our hands
Hot blanket air smothers lingering pain
Roads really clean from the evening rain
And we'll ride horses in the sand
We'll ride horses in the sand
Volcano dust clouds the welcoming sea
Palm trees wave like you and me
Music plays on now from the past
We can only hope our song will last
But we'll ride horses in the sand
Yes we'll ride horses in the sand
And we'll ride horses in the sand
Yeah we'll ride horses in the sand
Tell me the story of your development
Added it to the nighttime where we went
Independence day, celebrate the nations
And the people who survive equations
Riding horses in the sand (riding horses)
Riding horses in the sand (riding horses)
We'll ride horses in the sand (riding horses)
Yeah, we'll ride horses in the sand (riding horses in the sand)

Now you work it out
Without fear or a doubt
Not everything you touch will turn to gold
(Not everything you touch will turn to gold)
You make me turn around
If you raise your breath to shout
Not everyone who's brave it seems are bold
(Not everyone who's brave it seems are bold)
So thanks very much
It's not my right to judge
Probably won't have the time to say goodbye
Did you realize you've sold
Those secrets I did hold
A peace of mind, peace of mind
First you say you won't
Then you say you will
Makes me feel like staying here and standing very still
(Makes me feel like standing very still)
So if you've got the number
Of a faithful friend to rumba
Use it now, your time spent here's worth little
(Use it now, your time spent here's worth little)
So don't hold me back
You won't catch me in this sad
Tragic celebrations always pass me by
And experience at cost
Well you can't call it lost
A peace of mind, peace of mind
(Peace of mind, peace of mind)
There may be a solution
If we all agree to choose one
Answers won't come falling from the sky
(Answers won't come falling from the sky)
The truth won't land you blind
It's all we hope to find
And you know something always comes along
(You know something always comes along)
So thanks very much
It's not my right to judge
Probably won't have the time to say goodbye
Did you realize you've sold
Those secrets I did hold
A peace of mind, peace of mind
Peace of mind, peace of mind

Only you knows the secret
Of desire and how to keep it
You've been blessed with the gift of natural law
I wander 'round in a circular valley
I want a glimpse of hope and you'll have me
Weary voyager on your island shore
I wonder if I'm feeling better
Or if it's your turn to cry
I wonder if I'm feeling better now
In the womb, never thought of leaving
Comfort of life without a meaning
Then with trust came ecstasy and my tears
Chance had it lost in the sands
What'd you learn with lonely friends
A faded fire, a painful souvenir
I wander 'round in a circular valley
I want a glimpse of hope and you'll have me
Weary voyager on your island shore
I wonder if I'm feeling better
Or if it's your turn to cry
I wonder if I'm feeling better now
I wonder if I'm feeling better
Or if it's just a type of lie
I wonder if I'm feeling better now
I wonder if I'm feeling better
Or if it's just a type of lie
I wonder if I'm feeling better now
I wonder if I'm feeling better
Or if it's your turn to cry
I wonder if I'm feeling better now
I wonder if I'm feeling better
Or if it's your turn to cry
I wonder if I'm feeling better now
I wonder if I'm feeling better
Or if it's just a type of lie
I wonder if I'm feeling better now

Lay down your head, oh weary soldier
Lay down your head upon my knee
The fat is warm from here to heaven
It's just the way it's supposed to be
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, laa-la
It's just the way it's supposed to be
Lay down your head, oh weary sailor
Lay down your head out on the sea
And ride the waves high o'er de troubles
It's just the way it's supposed to be
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, laa-la
It's just the way it's supposed to be
Lay down your head, oh weary fire
Lay down your head here close to me
The winds of change may blow you wayward
It's just the way it's supposed to be
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, laa-la
It's just the way it's supposed to be
Lay down your heads my little children
Lay down your heads the night is deep
And like a dream the day is over
It's just the way it's supposed to be
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, laa-la
It's just the way it's supposed to be
Lay down your heads upon the pillow
Lay down your heads it's time to sleep
And raised at dawn may your true wishes
Be the way they're supposed to be
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm-mmm
It's just the way it's supposed to be

Half-dark lady from the Amazon
Spoke perfect moments before she was gone
Her soul reached out from her deep brown eyes
She said "I'm a victim of these Earthly ties"
I don't know what love's about
I don't know what love's about
Feel it falling on the ground
Our fate is dealing one of a kind
I wish that it was then that we die
A Spring rain desert flower bride
Not hoping that it never ends
I don't know what love's about
I don't know what love's about
Then she gave me a gentle kiss
The weather closed, I was lost in the mist
She disappeared as in a dream
Waded out into the scene
I don't know what love's about
I don't know what love's about
Sometimes passion on my breath
Makes me think about her death
Teary-eyed child from some lovers' high
Mother and father left them with a lie
Blood and water no comparison
The new parents treat him like a son
I don't know what love's about
I don't know what love's about
And yet there's times when a kid leaves home
In a family yet so alone
Drifting visions of their role
To find their place or else get sold
I don't know what love's about
I don't know what love's about
I don't know what love's about
I don't know what love's about
Don't know what love's about
I don't know what love's about
I don't know what love's about
Sometimes passion on my breath
Makes me think about her
Creepy unintelligible children's voices over music (Swedish?)

In primitive existence man fought war one-to-one
The law of survival was fight, if not then run
Modern aggression has much more at stake
A world no one inherits if there's nothing in the wake
Now you found charity
Yeah you found sanctity
You crushed the one thing that holds you dear
And wonder when you're left holding a spear
You cut out misgivings and you call out the young
Walk on to breakfast and you count down to one
Sigh with persistence as you call up the sun
And refuse to see it but you count down to one
Now you found bedlam
Then you found asylum
You crushed the one thing that holds you dear
And wonder when you're left holding a spear
Now you found bedlam
Then you found asylum
You crushed the one thing that holds you dear
And wonder when you're left holding a spear
Now you found charity
Yeah you found sanctity
You crushed the one thing that holds you dear
And wonder when you're left holding a spear

I was the man who gave life a hand
I was the man who covered the land
The kind of a man not lost and damned in my trail
In silence I sang
Baa-ed like a lamb
My heart did beat that the world would eat from my hand
All that's left is the stance
All that's left is the stance
I was the man
Who cried like a man
Matter of fact you could tell by the hat on his head
In my command
I summoned a stand
It pleased me not, delights not got on demand
All that's left is the stance
All that's left is the stance
I was the man
Who gave life a hand

Sounds of the clash can be heard
Echoing up through the years winding streets
Calm isolation to sweet penetration
Driven on from peak to peak
The hermit with hand on his chin
Closes the world from inside a cave
Cloistered from tears, the celibate seers
Can not be great or misbehave
Welcome to the human race
Down from the mountain now
Into the valley of man
Down from the mountain now
Though its been good for you
As the snow starts to fall
Know crystal clear, purer than white
Joy laden air from the peaks of the snare
No longer make footsteps seem light
Ascending stone to the sky
Everything learned building the road
Lofty heights, beckon despite
Approach of the willing threshold
Then there's the threat of the cold
Down from the mountain now
Into the valley of man
Down from the mountain now
Though its been good for you
Walked away from the loneliness
Got the courage now get the rest
Down from the mountain
Though it's been good for you
As the snow starts to fall
Know crystal clear, purer than white
Joy laden air from the peaks of the snare
No longer make footsteps seem light
Driven on from peak to peak
Down from the mountain now
Into the valley of man
Down from the mountain now
Though its been good for you
Walked away from the loneliness
Got the courage now get the rest
Down from the mountain
Though it's been good for you

World's trickle in earthly deign
Then finally last night it came again
This glittering tremblin' hypnotic war
Destroys me again
Destroys me again
Underneath the broken window
Lamplight smiles, knife grinders below
There are only dead men asleep inside me
The slide is slow
The slide is slow
Further and further and further ooh-ooh
Further and further and further ooh-ooh-ooh
So protest to heaven 'cause no one else will hear
Give me your all, give me all your fear
Destruction beckons and you can't resist
I'll put you through your favourite ordeal
Further and further and further ooh-ooh
Further and further and further ooh-ooh-ooh
Further and further and further ooh-ooh
Further and further and further ooh-ooh-ooh
