I no longer know
Put the pieces in place
Forever a pawn
Of chaotic fate
Just watchen’ the clouds
Upon a sea
Of tranquility
A lighthouse in fall
Above
Pear yellow leaves
A ship
Lost in flight
Without a beacon of light
Amongst obsidian waves
On this navy blue night
Forever marooned
By a childish heart
A sojourner
From mediocre
reality
The beckoning call
of emotional tides
The crashing foam
moonlight
upon coral reefs
A ship
Lost in flight
Without a beacon of light
Amongst obsidian waves
On this navy blue night

I'm Alight
07:29
|
|||
|
In a blanket of sea
Neath a canopy of stars
Within the silent tide
Below the shining moon
When morning comes
Set for sail
Neath pillowed cloud
Within the coming storm
And all the water in the world
Can't put this fire out
I'm alight
Light flecks top the ocean
Throughout space and time
I'm alight
In the bunker I wait
Within the comfort of my art
Completely at home
In the arms of creation
Though danger out there
I'm still here
Though weathered by storm
The candle's alive
And all the water in the world
Can't put this fire out
I'm alight
Light flecks top the ocean
Throughout space and time
I'm alight
By nature or nurture
God or monster
From that dark cold sea
Sprung the question you see
Through aeons of conscious
Evolutionary seed
From what springs life
My reason to be
Chorus:
And all the water in the world
Can't put this fire out
I'm alight
Light flecks top the ocean
Throughout space and time
I'm alight

Hold On
06:16
|
|||
|
Getting lost in the fog of my thoughts
Forever a traveler in the mists of my mind
The sound of the tide at dawn
The egret and seagull chirp their song
So baby hold on
To that child inside
The dream never lies
So baby hold on
To the inspiration you get
A beacon of hope
It's all a game of chance
We coerce the waves by the roll of our bones
Sometimes they change us forever
Good or bad
We weather
So baby hold on
To that child inside
The dream never lies
So baby hold on
To the inspiration you get
A beacon of hope

Sparrows Flying

To see the Sun
Rising o'er the ocean
A sea of green
Rising from the bed
To feel the sand
Neath my feet
To hear the beasts
O'er the reefs
I feel I could soar
Above this paradigm
An anchor
They've created
Adrift, afloat
Above marine forest
Of lucid blue
On vast waves
As the rain falls
hard
Upon the harbor
The sent of moist
Under grey cloud
On the docks
Your sweet little, tan
Hand in mine
The taste
Salty wet
Of your kiss
So won't you fly with me
Into the Sun
That bright yellow one
Gold as your eyes
Every path we take
Another chance
For a dream to come true
So could it be you?
In that silly raincoat
The warmth that I get
When I'm between your thighs

There once was a man
Who dreamed he could sail across the world
That some enchanted breeze
Across the seas
And deep within his head
There wasn't a mountain he couldn't climb
Full of hopes that made him blind
He couldn't climb
Dark legend in time
The crows of lies pecked at his mind
The deep locker a hearse
To a fading ghost
Oh, drown me in tranquil blue
As I gasp for air relinquished in you
For death is not the end
Not an end
I'll awake in another world
Where I can be free
As the man I wanted to be
You and me
As I gaze into the sky
Clouds painted on its pale blue face
The smell of ultramarine
Through ripples of green
I feel at peace
As I drop through caverns of coil
To the slithering beasts
That dark abyss

Seaside Harbor

Spoken:
Chip painted houses
Salt air aroma
As the beasts wail their ridiculous chant
Mesmerized
by her charm
Sung:
Balls of light
Marina at night
Enchanting feelings
On the docks
In a seaside town
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Steel worn bridge
Above a silent bay
The smell of cooked fish
And the Warmth
of the storefronts
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I seen the earth
and it's beauty
Seen the forest
and desert sand
But I've never seen such beauty
As the sun
setting on her majesty
It's umbrella
of light
shimmering
through orange
painted clouds
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Sailor's Moon
03:53
|

Shines the sailor's moon
Through the wispy clouded sky
Far from the ocean tide
Upon the tranquil sea
Shines the sailor's moon
Neath the clear bright stars
Feel his spirit rise
He built a world
Beaming deep sapphire
Cuddled in his bunker
All alone
In lucid sleep
And in the mornin' fog
The dream is gone
When the dusk breaks
The flame burns on
Shines the sailor's moon
Through the wispy clouded sky
Far from the ocean tide
Upon the tranquil sea
Shines the sailor's moon
Neath the clear bright stars
Feel his spirit rise
He built a world
A boat
Upon the sea
Where he can sail
Amongst the free
And when day breaks
The pressure's wrong
And after the madness
Life goes on
Shines the sailor's moon
Through the wispy clouded sky
Far from the ocean tide
Upon the tranquil sea
Shines the sailor's moon
Neath the clear bright stars
Feel his spirit rise
He built a world
Above
The blue whale's song
In fantasy
Time runs fluidly
And when reality
Takes it's toll
There's a place
He can go

Clean the lenses
Light a candle
Set the kerosene
Of my soul
Brave the winter
In isolation
You took from me
What once was whole
Beam a love so true
Can't escape the ghost of you
Moon reflected
On the darkness
Of a vast
Mysterious sea
Bleak water
'Mongst the creatures of the night
A ghost ship
Here for harbor
Beam a love so true
Can't escape the ghost of you
You're a keyhole
Of light
In the caverns
Of my dark life
My only wish
Devour me whole
You'd be forever
My loving wife

Goddess of the Sea
03:02

|
With the salt
In my lungs
The glisten
Of my weary chin
The heart
Of a fisherman
I'm leavin' babe
Yet I'll see you again
With a beacon
From within
Ol' blue-green
She calls to me
Jeweled goddess
Of the monstrous sea
Adventures
Brutish company
I'm leavin' babe
Yet I'll see you again
With a beacon
From within
She's a siren
Evermore
The depths
Of her haunting pleas
Cure my loneliness
Of the shore
Caste my sales
To the open breeze
I'm leavin' babe
Yet I'll see you again
With a beacon
From within

To the bloody captain
Asleep after the mast
Whose line of bullish tyranny
Assuredly will not last
Down to Davey's Locker
You'll sink!
You'll sink!
You'll walk the plank for sure
That's your final task
Forever a nightmare
Of the foggy past
Down to Davey's Locker
You'll sink!
You'll sink!
Meet the sailor's devil
Scaly saucer eyes
Spiky horns a tail
And a fish like beak
Down to Davey's Locker
You'll sink!
You'll sink!
Creature of the deep
Rows of shark like teeth
Devouring you whole
Forever roaming the sea
Down to Davey's Locker
You'll sink!
You'll sink!

Look Away!
00:54
|

|
We-ell!
We ride the wings of seagulls
Across the ocean sand
The shimmering sound of freedom on algae laden rocks
Look away!
Look away!
If we should end our lives in that dark abyss
She'll swallow me whole
With a mermaid's kiss
Look away!
Look away!
Then grow me a set of gills
Send me-self afloat
Be a pirates dream
To live within the coil
Look away!
Look away!
Breath in the salt water
Of the ocean deep
Jump the cragged cliffs
Of the devil's sea
Look away!
Look away!
Puuuull back!

Labour of Love
02:52
|

|
She's a mystery
A freedom to me
From which we were sprung
To the scallywags goodbye
She's a labor of love
She'll never leave my side
The open tide
Till the day I die
If water is life
Then land be death
Illuminate my soul
As the foam collides
Where seaweed green
Turns to ultramarine
And man made order
Splits off at the seams
She's a labor of love
She'll never leave my side
The open tide
Till the day I die
I'm the fish man
A creature from the depths
A pirate soldier
That’s lost in time
Through caverns of plenty
Through Keyholes of light
Rum buffoon
Both day and night
She's a labor of love
She'll never leave my side
The open tide
Till the day I die
She's a labor of love
She'll never leave my side
The open tide
Till the day I die

Bonus Track: Mermaids
05:43

Thinking of the life that I have led
Stuck inside this large abyss
Muses I’ve loved and I have lost
Sent to me from heaven above
And yet I’m sitting by myself
Alone and buried in my thoughts
How many years have I got left?
My bleeding heart is on the shelf
The mermaids call
They take me to the waves where I am free
The rolling tide
I sink into the bottom of the sea
Sensually
In fantasy
When I was just a little boy
I thought the world was made for me
I wandered alone in reverie
Saw the worlds they didn’t see
And now that I have grown old
Forget the worlds that I had known
Watching time clocks pass me by
Another day without a home
The mermaids call
They take me to the waves where I am free
The rolling tide
I sink into the bottom of the sea
Passionately
In fantasy
Just when will I go back
Dream dreams that come to life?
Forever struggle to survive
Just so I can stay alive
Use this gift that I have got
Helping others to escape
From the working day life
To briefly live in fantasy
The mermaids call
They take me to the waves where I am free
The rolling tide
I sink into the bottom of the sea
Delicately
In fantasy
