Shudder before the beautiful |
The deepest solace lies in understanding
This ancient unseen stream
A shudder before the beautiful
Awake Oceanborn
Behold this force
Bring the outside in
Explore the self to epiphany
The very core of life
Is soaring higher of truth and light
The music of this awe
Deep silence between the notes
Deafens me with endless love
This vagrant island Earth
A pilgrim shining bright
We are shuddering
Before the beautiful
Before the plentiful
We're the voyagers
Tales from the seas
Cathedral of greed
The very core of life
Is soaring higher of truth and light
The music of this awe
Deep silence between the notes
Deafens me with endless love
This vagrant island Earth
A pilgrim shining bright
We are shuddering
Before the beautiful
Before the plentiful
We're the voyagers
The unknown
The grand show
The choir of the stars
Interstellar
Theatre play
The nebula curtain falls
Imagination
Evolution
A species from the veil
As we wander
In search of
The source of the tale
The music of this awe
Deep silence between the notes
Deafens me with endless love
This vagrant island Earth
A pilgrim shining bright
We are shuddering
Before the beautiful
Before the plentiful
We're the voyagers

Weak fantasy |
These stories given to us all
Are filled with sacrifice and ropes of lust
Dissonant choirs and downcast eyes
Self-hood of a condescending ape [?]
Behold the crown of a heavenly spy
Forged in blood of those who defy
Kiss the ring; praise and sing
He loves you dwelling in fear and sin
Fear is a choice you embrace
Your only truth
Tribal poetry
Witchcraft filling your void
Lustful fantasy
Real (mere?) hypocrisy
Every child worthy of a better tale
Pick your author from à la carte fantasy
Built with suffering and savoring
You live only for the days to come
Shoveling trash of the upper caste
Smiling mouth in a rotten head
Sucking dry the teat of the scare
The storytelling greed we are
The starving crew with show-off toys [?]
Fear is a choice you embrace
Your only truth
Tribal poetry
Witchcraft filling your void
Lustful fantasy
Real (mere?) hypocrisy
Every child worthy of a better tale
From words into war of the worlds
This one, we forsake, we scar
From lies, the strength of our love
Mother's milk laced with poison for this newborn
Wake up, child; I have a story to tell
Once upon a time
Your only truth
Tribal poetry
Witchcraft filling your void
Lustful fantasy
Fantasy
Real (mere?) hypocrisy
Every child worthy of a better tale

Élan |
Leave the sleep and let the springtime talk
In tongues from the time before man
Listen to a daffodil tell her tale
Let the guest in, walk out, be the first to greet the morn
The meadows of heaven await harvest
The cliffs unjumped, cold waters untouched
The elsewhere creatures yet unseen
Finally your number came up, free fall awaits the brave
Come
Taste the wine
Race the blind
They will guide you from the light
Writing noughts till the end of time
Come
Surf the clouds
Race the dark
It feeds from the runs undone
Meet me where the cliff greets the sea
The answer to the riddle before your eyes
Is in dead leaves and fleeting skies
Returning swans and sedulous mice
Writings on the garden's book
In the minute of a lover's look
Building a sandcastle close to the shore
A house of cards from a worn out deck
A home from the fellowship, poise and calm
Write a lyric for the song only you can understand
Riding hard every shooting star
Come to life, open mind, have a laugh at the orthodox
Come, drink deep let the dam of mind seep
Travel with great élan, dance a jig at the funeral
Come!

Yours is an empty hope |
Tear me to bits, enjoy the scene
Of screen name verbal vanity
Churning the words imbued in filth
Your tongue only water under my bridge
You have the world, it's all for you
I wish you'd find the lost in you
Grateful for the pain, it proves we're alive
Can you feel it
I can't make you want the truth
It's up to you
Yours is an empty hope
Yours is an empty hope
Feed me to pigs in your fantasies
Your sea roars bitter elegies
Like narcissus who bribes the pool
A hollow voice ruin with a roof
Stop life is now, still all you for you
Turn from the hate, turn from the smoke
I see the parchment of your soul
The notes, the song
Join your voice
I can't let you have the world
It's all for you
Yours is an empty hope
Yours is an empty hope

Our decades in the sun |
I climbed off your back
Not so long ago
To a blooming meadow
To a path you'd made for the lightest feet
Mother, I am always close to you
I will be waving every time you leave
Oh, I am you, the care, the love, the memories
We are the story of one
Father, I am always close to you
I will be waving every time you leave
Oh, I am you, the care, the love, the memories
You are forever in me
This verse we wrote on our road home
For you, all this for you
All this for you
Our walk has been sublime
A soaring ride and gentle leap [?]
You have the heart of a true friend
One day we'll meet on that shore again
Mother, I am always close to you
I will be waving every time you leave
Oh, I am you, the care, the love, the memories
We are the story of one
Oh father, I am always close to you
I will be waving every time you leave
Oh, I am you, the care, the love, the memories
You are forever in me

My walden |
A light shines bright beyond all the cities of gold
On a road of bird song and chocolate chips
A busker's jump was innkeeper's welcoming call
The sound of mist, smell of moss-grown moors
Weaving my wings from many colored yarns
Flying higher, higher, higher into the wild
Weaving my world into a tapestry of life
It's fire, golden, in my Walden
I will taste the moonlight in every tree
Liquid honey and wine from the distant hills
An early morning green booth concerto
Greets my Walden with its eternal voice
Weaving my wings from many colored yarns
Flying higher, higher, higher into the wild
Weaving my world into a tapestry of life
It's fire, golden, in my Walden
Weaving my wings from many colored yarns
Flying higher, higher, higher into the wild
Weaving my world into a tapestry of life
It's fire, golden, in my Walden
Weaving my wings from many colored yarns
Flying higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
I do not wish to evade the world
Yet I will forever build my own
Forever my own
Forever my home

Endless forms most beautiful |
Come on; hop on; let's take a ride
Come and meet the travelers who came to town
They have a tale from the past to tell
From the great dark between the stars
We are a special speck of dust
A fleeting moment on an ark
A celebration, a rest haven of love
Lay on a field of green with mother Eve
With father by reaching high
Look at yourself in the eyes of aye-aye
Unfolding rendezvous
Deep into the past
The lonely eon path
Greet a blade of grass
Every endless form most beautiful
A life of wearing on
Before the grandeur of it all
A floating pale blue ark
Of endless forms most beautiful
Beyond eons we take a ride
Welcoming the shrew that survived
To see the Tiktaalik
Take a first walk; witness the birth of light
Keep it down in Panthalassa
The karyotype finds her way
We return to the very first one
With the one we'll soon become
Lay on a field of green with mother Eve
With father by reaching high
Look at yourself in the eyes of aye-aye
Unfolding rendezvous
Deep into the past
The lonely eon path
Greet a blade of grass
Every endless form most beautiful
A life of wearing on
Before the grandeur of it all
A floating pale blue ark
Of endless forms most beautiful
Deep into the past
The lonely eon path
Greet a blade of grass
Every endless form most beautiful
A life of wearing on
Before the grandeur of it all
A floating pale blue ark
Of endless forms most beautiful

Edema ruh |
One by one we light the candles of the show
One by one entered a theater of the primal birth
Silently watch the planetary curtain go down
Laugh and drink joys as the powerful play greets you tonight
[Chorus:]
We are the Edema Ruh, we know the songs the sirens sang
Sea of stream, every tale true
Soon as we leave with you, we'll take you home
[Verse 2]
We've got a pick to open all of the gates
A show you will see, a starlight to drown all your cares
Mirror houses, the sweetest kisses and lights
The Debussy twilight between winter and the roaring sea
[Chorus]
[Guitar solo]
[Bridge]
Dance to the whistle to the play to the story
To infinite encores
Laugh at the royalty with sad crowns
And hear the chorus once more
[Chorus]

Alpenglow |
Once upon a time a song was heard
Giving birth to a child of Earth and verse
Together we slay another fright
Every Jubjub bird, spooks of the past
Close your eyes and take a peek
The truth is easy to see
We were here, roaming on the endless prairie
Writing an endless story
Building a Walden of our own
We were here, grieving the saddened faces
Conquering the darkest places
Time to rest now, and to finish the show
And become the music, one with alpenglow
Hand in hand, guiding me into light
You, the fairy tale guise in blue and white
Together we slay another fright
Every Jubjub bird, spooks of the past
Close your eyes and take a peek
The truth is easy to see
We were here...
We were here, roaming on the endless prairie
Writing an endless story
Building a Walden of our own
We were here, grieving the saddened faces
Conquering the darkest places
Time to rest now, and to finish the show
And become the music, one with alpenglow
Be warm my path, my home, my star
A beautiful tale within the tale
And when the dust needs to move on [?]
I will tuck us in on a bed of snow
Painting white silence in the valley within
Together we sleep, devoured by life
We were here, roaming the endless prairie
Writing an endless story
Building a Walden of our own
We were here, grieving the saddened faces
Conquering the darkest places
Time to rest now, and to finish the show
And become the music, one with alpenglow
We were here, roaming on the endless prairie
Writing an endless story
Building a Walden of our own
We were here, grieving the saddened faces
Conquering the darkest places
Time to rest now, and to finish the show
And become the music, one with alpenglow

The greatest show on earth |
Archeon horizon
At first sunrise
Out of pristine [?]
I am "modus perfectum" [?]
Somewhere they're
Lost, sleeping [?]
"After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with color, bountiful with life. Within decades we must close our eyes again. Isn't it a noble, an enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun, to work at understanding the universe and how we have come to wake up in it?"
The cosmic law of gravity
Pulled the newborns around a fire
A callous (careless?) cold infinity
In every vast direction
Lonely farer (Lone wayfarer/Lonely pharaoh?) in the Goldilocks zone
She has a tale to tell
From the stellar nursery into a carbon feast
Enter LUCA
The tapestry of chemistry
There is a writing in the garden
Leading us to the mother of all
We are one
We are a universe
Forebears of what will be scions of the Devonian sea
Eons pass writing the tale of us all
The day-to-day new opening
For the greatest show on Earth
Iron (ion?) shadows
Welcoming the outside world to the stuff of stars [?]
Bearing the tree of a biological holy
Enter life
The tapestry of chemistry
There is a writing in the garden
Leading us to the mother of all
We are one
We are a universe
Forebears of what will be scions of the Devonian sea
Eons pass writing the tale of us all
The day-to-day new opening
For the greatest show on Earth
We are here to care for the garden
The wonder of, birth of, every form most beautiful
Every form most beautiful
We are one
We are a universe
Forebears in what will be scions of the Devonian sea
Eons pass writing the tale of us all
The day-to-day new opening
For the greatest show on Earth
After a billion years
The show is still here
Not a single one of your faunas died young
The handy travelers out of Africa
Little Lucy on the Afar
Gave birth to fantasy
To idolatry
To self-destructive weaponry/waggery/venery [?]
Enter the ... [?]
Deep within the past
Atavistic trail of the hunter
Enter Ionia
The cradle of thought
The architecture of understanding
The human lust to feel so exceptional
To rule the Earth
Hunting for shiny rocks
For giant mushroom clouds
The will to do what should be done, but
Enter history
The grand finale
Enter ... [?]
Man, he took his time in the sun
Had a dream to understand
The single grain of sand
He gave birth to poetry
But one day'll cease to be
Greet the last light of the memory
Man, he took his time in the sun
Had a dream to understand
The single grain of sand
He gave birth to poetry
But one day'll cease to be
Greet the last light of the memory
Man, he took his time in the sun
Had a dream to understand
The single grain of sand
He gave birth to poetry
But one day'll cease to be
Greet the last light of the memory
We were here
We were here
We were here
We were here
"We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of those stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here. We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?"
"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved."
