THE ICE BRIDGE
Those that have lived before
They breathe and walk through us
A course relayed
Round our sacred fires
That light up these hillsides
At dawn we shall begin
 
With fear of extinction
We’re pushed to the edge of the ice
Instinctive direction
X2a drive to survive
 
All eyes to the east
All eyes to the east
In a vision
Snowflower Elder crossed
He has seen
Snowflower Elder
He has walked forest green
All eyes to the east
 
Stand tribe to tribe
For we are the lords of the future
True pillars of life
And if we’re to arrive
Through such desperate times
We must stand unified
 
Traces of ancestral faces
Project on a blizzard torn sky
In a game of do or die
Fly clear with the falcon
Perceive through the eagle’s eye
This is exponential ancient overdrive
 
No turning back
We must cross the Ice Bridge
Onward to sunrise
In a race against time
 
All eyes to the east
In a vision
Snowflower Elder crossed
 
All eyes to the east
In a vision
Snowflower Elder walked
Lands of green
 
Eyes to the east
Snowflower Elder crossed
 
Eyes to the east
In a vision
Snowflower Elder walked


DARE TO KNOW
I’ve got an idea, been on my mind
I’ll share it with you and see what we find
As a matter of fact, things keep on changing
They’re stirring up patterns that keep on rearranging, rearranging
 
Beauty performs shaped by the wind
Sunsets align with discipline
Feeling a sense of urgency
We live with so much uncertainty
 
We rest on a breath, hang by a limb
Balancing hope to only win
 
Rituals to celebrate, words to chant await
Things start to happen, they form in a pattern
Seeing their rays of hope, to really help them cope
They mustn’t be ignored, search the lost chord


MINUS THE MAN
Evolution's tunnel from which there’s no end
Mirror upon mirror, twist, turn and bend
Down the endless hallway of so many doors
Countless lives to choose and explore
 
Is the key to our survival post-human technology
Do we trust full immersion virtual reality
Vinge's 2030
The 6th Paradigm
When circuitry augments the mind
It's a double-edged sword
The Grand Singularity and A.l. autonomy
Building the superman
Building the superman
 
Minus the man
Minus the man
At any cost perpetuate the post-human lifespan
 
Down the endless hallway of so many mirrors
Rеflecting no years, redirеcting the tears
Through every door a new road upon which to dream
To master each pathway
All, eventually
 
Oh, will this bring us closer to destiny
Or are we withdrawing further into fantasy
 
Is the key to our survival post-human technology
Do we trust full immersion virtual reality
Vinge’s 2030
The 6th Paradigm
When circuitry augments the mind
It's a double-edged sword
The Grand Singularity and A.I. autonomy
Building the superman
Building the superman
 
Minus the man
Minus the man
Will the survival equation command that it minus the man
 
Building the superman
Minus the man


LEAVE WELL ALONE
Provocation of the mystics, revel in the shelter bare
Taste the virtue of nothingness, feel the motions from elsewhere
Gazing from the highest cliffs, don't venture down to the abyss, the abyss

The way ahead is still no distance, just a part of our existence
Heal the pains of this disorder, devise your escape across the border
Loosen up and ease the flow, trust survivors incognito

I heard thе king has lost his golden wing
Leave wеll alone
I heard the queen just couldn't intervene
Leave well alone
I saw the words written in stone
Leave well alone
Not for nothing, but just leave well alone
Leave well alone

Stories? Stories are told to the prisoners who wait there and still remain
Ideas? Ideas of changing the history written just to entertain
Reasons? Reasons give us quite a rush for a while at the start then get lost
Knowing? Knowing that currents still move us around as the seasons dissolve


THE WESTERN EDGE
We are one constellation
The celestial sea, the ocean of humanity
Know that you play a sacred part as deep as your heart can feel
And however far that you may roam you are one step from home

Only one road for us
Turning the corner
Challenging everyone to come together again
What if then through life lessons learned we may return and thus transcend
Watching the new day come
Cry aloud
Calling to everyone
The sky, the sky am I

Head in the heavens yet with feet firmly on the ground
Inspired by the dreams for a new way of living
No longer can we ignore the depths of all we truly are
And however far we may roam we are one step from home

We feel the times, we heed the signs
Link your stars to the grand design
May all our hearts align
Watching the new day come
Where could we ever go where their light would not follow
Along the western edge we go
The art of all inner knowing innate
Cry out to the sky, the sky am I!

We, the celestial sea, the ocean of humanity
Along the western edge
Know that you play a sacred part as deep as your heart can feel
And as high as your dreams might carry you on sing out to the sky

Along the western edge
Through opal flame and starry eye claim all that is your true birthright
Just behind the rainbows bend, beyond the storm clouds end
Know however far you may roam you are
The western edge


FUTURE MEMORIES
In the mirror of the mind projecting
All I want my life reflecting
Mmn
To revere the stars, far and free
Yet keep them near and dear to me
Mmm
All I seek to find through universal mind
Must surely come to pass

Future memories
Future memories

Steal away
There are shadows at play
When the black night is too long to bear
Beware
Beware

From this moment forward
I don't want to make another memory
Without you
From this moment forward
(I don’t want to make another mеmory) I don't want to make another memory
Without you
Without you

Through all of lifе's complexities
I often miss the scenery
Mmm
Mmm-mmn
Reflected in the mirror the longings of the heart
Of many moons ago
All that tomorrow holds

Time encircles time expanding
Ripples on the surface of my mind
Waves of clarity
Waves of clarity

Composing the dream upon the mirror’s canvas screen
Swirling colours call to me as if from a higher century
From a higher century

Future memories

From this moment forward (Shadows at play)
I don't want to make another memory
Without you

From this moment forward, no, no
(I don't want to make another memory) I don't want to make another memory
Without you

I don't want to make another memory
Without you
(I don't want to make another memory) I don't want to make another memory
Another memory
Without you

Without you
Without you


MUSIC TO MY EARS
Move towards your goal
Take back all control
Go to the waters edge now
Sail the oceans and make your pledge

It's music to my ears, music to my ears
Music to my ears, you've found the way

You don't have to ask
Or question every task
There's a strength you've found
Step by step moving around

It's music to my ears, music to my ears
Music to my ears, you found the way
It's music to my ears (It's a blessing in disguise), music to my ears (As the darkness disappears)
Music to my ears, you found the way

Restless to sleep, carefree to wake
Hoping to finish all that's at stake
As thе evening passes so free
It's good to know wе're good company

It's music to my ears, music to my ears
Music to my ears, you found the way
It's music to my ears (It's a blessing in disguise), music to my ears (As the darkness disappears)
Music to my ears, you found the way


A LIVING ISLAND
In the West Atlantic, beyond the Windward Chain
A living coral island where we can start again

A world gone mad, on the last plane out we flew
There's no one with whom l'd rather brave the storm than you
You're my heart, you're my home
(You'll never have to go it alone)
Is this a paradise or a prison
Approaching ships now I espy
Danger or solution
We hope, we pray
(Day to day)
Never knowing where this crazy world's going
I can pick up the pieces so long as you're right beside me
Here with me

United at risk, divided we must stand
This is the current state of the world we're living in

Unfettered by fear, empowered by the science
Let us learn to be the wiser by this time next year
You're my heart, you're my home
(You'll never have to go it alone)
Is this a paradise or a prison
Approaching ships now I espy
We hope, we pray
Never knowing where this crazy world's going

Just you and me beneath the living island sun
Watching from our hill top the whole world come undone

And the voice of the Mother so loud, so clear
Rebirth, now
Earth rebirth, now!
Are we yet waking up from the nightmare
Are we yet waking up from the nightmare
(How we're ever so shaken up by the nightmare)
A nightmare of fools that pull the levers when the curtain's drawn
And play us as their pawn
Their fear and greed
Undermining every countermeasure

Nation to nation
We're in this together, though together apart in isolation
So here's to you
To the spirit of community
Here's to us
To our humanity

Here's to the frontline saviors
And the everyday heroes unseen
To you with sad spirits
Who mourn dear ones now gone
To their memories
We dedicate this song

And the time will certainly come
Their courageous stories shall be told
As deeply we hold
Hold them in the highest honor
We will remember!

Yes, each courageous story will be told
As deeply we hold
Hold them in the highest honor
In our hearts love
Forevermore


SISTER SLEEPING SOUL
Where have you gone
Your heart full of song
Oh, sister of my soul
Timid and bright
You clung to my side
Through all those teenage magic tragic nights
The hazy crazy daze of our youth
Thinking we were bullet proof

But you went too far
It was then that I lost you
You're burning out, my shooting star
Yeah, you went too far
It was then that I lost you
Sister sleeping soul
Sister sleeping soul
Where are you now

Far across the wide sea
Sleepwalking some city
By your liquid dream you're carried down stream
Spun way out of all control
Caught by the undertow
In your heart was a song
Where have you gone
In my heart you bеlong
Too high, so low
Sister sleeping soul
You went too far
It was then that I lost you
You'rе burning out, my shooting star
Yeah, you went too far
It was then that I lost you
Sister sleeping soul
Sister sleeping soul
Where are you now

You live it all like you're ten feet tall
Hey, can you free your mind
Enough to know you matter
No less than all the stars through time
Hey, can you free your mind
Enough to know you matter
No less than all the stars through time
Brighter than all stars through time
Sister of my soul never refuse to shine

Sister sleeping soul
Sister sleeping soul
Where are you now

You live it all like you're ten feet tall
Gonna crash and burn
When will you ever learn


MYSTERY TOUR
John was a fighter, his fist in a glove
Across the universe, he spoke of love
Paul was a worker but he got the blame
When the party was over, we all felt the same

They let it be like they'd never been born
We heard the silver hammer till the break of dawn

Shining like the moon, the stars and the sun
They knew the revolution had already bеgun

George played guitar likе ringing a bell
Ringo held the beat till the axe fell
Brian was the glue that held it together
Neil and Mal survived the stormy weather

They let it be like they'd never been born
We heard the silver hammer till the break of dawn

Shining like the moon, the stars and the sun
They knew the revolution had already begun
They gave us pins and needles on their Mystery Tour
Through the bathroom window without going out of your door

They came at a time, we'd lost our principles
Never did we sleep, we thought we were invincible
They'd always said you could take yourself higher, higher…

As the muddy waters broke the lions heart
They should have known better but they fell apart

Shining like the moon, the stars and the sun
They knew the revolution had already begun
They gave us pins and needles on their Mystery Tour
Through the bathroom window without going out of your door


DAMAGED WORLD
Come help us save, save this damaged world
Come help us save, save this damaged world

Paint me as a rogue or paint me as a child
The evidence of nature in the wild

In the light of what's been said
Am I the one who's most been misled
Never knowing where to stand
On the stormy sea or the shifting sand

Out across the wind blown shore
The sea so blue, white waves galore
Dreams so clear but almost lost
Over words either dotted or crossed

Not every story can really be told
So often there's more to unfold
About the times that shadows fall
It's now we heed, we heed the call

Come help us save, save this damaged world
Come help us save, save this damaged world

A valiant master of disguise
Runs amok, breaking the ties
Among friends we reunite
Lay to rest all the best to rest

Come and save this damaged world
Come and save this damaged world
Come and save this damaged world...
