It can happen to any one of us !
FOURTH DEMENTIA
NIGHT IS BLACK
NO STARS TO LIGHT A ROAD THAT TRAVELS
FORWARD NEVER BACK
STRANGE REACTION IN MY HEAD
PULSATING NERVE ATTACK
THOUGHTS SURROUND MY CONSCIENCE LIKE AN ORBIT OF THE MOON
I KNOW I’M GOING CRAZY BUT I DIDN’T THINK SO SOON
ELECTRODE LIGHTNING SENDING OUT THOSE SHIVERS DOWN MY SPINE
TEN THOUSAND VOLTS AND THEY SAY
"I’M DOING FINE"
I DON'T THINK SO!!
I CAN’T REMEMBER HOW I ENDED UP HERE
A METAMORPHOSIS IN A PARANORMAL KIND OF FEAR
MEMORIES ALL GONE AND THEY’RE NEVER COMING BACK
I'M LOOKING TO THE FUTURE AND THE BRAIN CELLS THAT I LACK
COME AND SEE ME SOMETIME – MAYBE WE CAN SIT AND TALK
PASS THE TOAST AND BUTTER - AND MY PLASTIC KNIFE AND FORK
(I KNOW I’M SINKING QUICKLY BUT THEY TELL ME SOMEHOW
THEY KNOW BEST!! )

CALMLANDS
THE SPINNING WHEEL BEFORE ME
THE CHANGING MYSTS OF TIME
IT NEVER FAILS TO HYPNOTISE
OR SEE THE TRUTH IN LIES
TOMORROWS’ DAYDREAMS
WILL ALWAYS SEE ME THROUGH
ON THE OTHER SIDE WE’LL START A NEW
BEAUTIFUL DAY
THE RAGING MOOD OF STORM CLOUDS
I WATCH THEM SHUFFLING THRU’
IT BRINGS A TEARDROP TO MY EYE
AN EVER CHANGING VIEW
TOMORROWS’ DAYDREAMS
WILL ALWAYS SEE ME THROUGH
A SUMMER SUNSET ON A SEA OF BLUE
BEAUTIFUL DAY

As decades pass the mortal shell will eventually fade and die, only then will a new journey begin !
This song is dedicated to all who have lost.
Mortal
I had to see the final tear
On the cheek of struggles lost
I took the hand forever still
A victim of just growing old
I sensed the final breath
Blow softly on my cheek
And as the sorrow lessens
The peace will come from within
I closed your eyes
A gentle brush of my hand
I felt the soul elevating
On a journey of everlasting time
We shall meet again !
FAREWELL

Our eyes delve into the darkness, as the moons shadows caress our imagination !
WHITE NIGHT
Full moon lighting up the cloudless sky
Staring down -- the glacial eye
Pulling tides in a swirling sea
The ambience of the night -- washes over me
Silhouettes-- in shades of black
Maybe faces looking back
Imagination -- in drive
Oh man -- it feels so good to be alive
Who will rise -- and who will sleep
Who will smile -- and who will weep
Tears of sadness -- cries of joy
This midnight karma -- cannot be destroyed
Incandescent shadows -- flicker in disdain
While mighty oaks sigh softly - with the strain
Who needs the sun -- who needs the day

WORLDSEND
UNDERGROUND ARMIES
STARTING TO SPAWN
BREAK THROUGH THE SURFACE
AS DAY BEGINS TO DAWN
REAPER SMILES AS THE MOOD IT GATHERS PACE
THE END OF THIS SO
PITIFUL RACE
SOLDIERS OF METAL
RISE BY THE SCORE
VOLCANIC SCULPTURES
ARE CAST IN IRON-ORE
MAN MADE STRUCTURES FALL AND BURN
GREY AND BARREN LANDSCAPE
WHEN WILL WE LEARN ?
SO BE WARY ALL YOU SINNERS OF YOUR PRECIOUS WORLD
THE ONLY PLACE FOR YOU WILL BE OBLIVION
LUCIFERS GATE !!

BLUE TRAIN
SOLITUDE AND NO ESCAPE
SLEEP AWAY THE PAIN
A SEED WITHOUT A DESTINY
RISE AND FLY AWAY
THREAD OF LIFE SETS OUT THE DREAM
FIRST BREATH TO THE LAST
SPIRIT WATCHING OVER ME
TIME IS RUNNING OUT SO FAST
WHERE'S EVERYBODY
THERE'S NO-ONE AROUND
JUST AN EERIE SILENCE
NO - NOT A SOUND
ALL ALONE
I'M ALL ALONE
THESE FOUR WALLS SOFT AS DOWN
FEELS LIKE I'M NEVER
GONNA FIND MY WAY HOME

Lyrics
Nottingham, United Kingdom
This song was inspired by a soundclick challenge to write a song with the subject matter " Tribe's " this resulted with us exploring the sad exploitation of the Aborigine.
The song could relate to cultures the world over whose countries of origin have been taken over by settlers who then forced their own way's on the conquered inhabitants,
40,000 years and some 18,000 generations
of Aborigine had lived in Australia before
the white settlers arrived !
The song ended up as an emotional ride !
--------------------------------------
DREAMTIME
Years before
They landed on that shore
To an empty land
So tall they stand
Painted bodies
Stood hand in hand
Watching as their dreamworld came alive
Long time later settlers came
The white man with a different name
Stole the wisdom -- stole their land
Blighted lives with their Western ways
Forever more to spend their days
The long dead chants
And their futile aspirations
The painted bodies
Still hand in hand
Watching as the dreamlands turned to sand
Oh no -- no
Bushman -- Bushman
I can see that your fate lies beneath
Bushman -- Bushman
Your fate it lies beneath that Guardian Tree
Oh no !

Oh to be able to see into the future, a gift so very few people have !
--------------------------------------
VISIONARY
Lines of future on my palm
Crossroads coming - so there's no time for alarm
Is it fate laid out for me
A kind of pre-determined destiny
Wish I had a wishing well
If I had a crystal ball
I'd look inside and see it all
Look inside and see it all
A thousand chords of haunting sound
Spinning round and round and round
What's tomorrow - just a day
Will I have much more to say
Travel on a sky express
Through a cloudless empty wilderness
Hazy vapour - nothing eyes
Haunting thoughts that only tantalize
Wish I had a wishing well
If I had a crystal ball
I'd look inside and see
Look inside and see it all.

Mmmm this is a 9 minute chill out ride, the message is
There's always hope out there --- somewhere !
--------------------------------------
IMMORTAL
Looking down
I saw the dying fear
A darkened carcass
Riding out another year
Timeless age
The wonders of mankind ?
A rotting corpse, the soul long gone
In time
See a ray of light
To pierce my naked eye
That black hole seems to call
To the skies
Lost in time
A distant place
We should have tried to save
The human race
Drifting now
Were out in space
A journey of ten million years
It seems we face
At the speed of light
No more time to spend
In a twilight world of haze
For I can see --- the end

Why do we need to travel, to explore ?
--------------------------------------
SKYTRAIN
Jet stream traces in the sky
As night draws in I wonder why
We feel the urge
We want to learn
How to fly
We need to find a different place
A different skin
Outside a different face
We head towards
Another day
Our troubles
Seem so far away
Time is drifting slowly by
Inner peace I need to try to find
A stranger who
May pass this way
We move toward
Another dreamy day

Do you ever wonder when looking up at the stars in the night sky
Could someone be looking back ?
--------------------------------------
ALPHA CENTAURI
Are you there ?
Will you pass our earth one day
And maybe -- maybe stay
Are you friendly
Or are you foe
We gaze in wonder at the night
Try to find some kind of guiding
Light
Is that you
Looking back ?

INSIDE PRISM
FAR BEYOND THE OUTER EDGE OF REASON
LIES A VERY SORRY TALE TO TELL
CHOCOLATE COATED PROMISES FOR THE FUTURE
WHILE DEEP INSIDE REVEALS A LIVING HELL
SO MANY PEOPLE CRUSHED BY FATE
SO MANY SPIRITS BROKEN
A WEAK AND DYING REFORMATION
LEAVES ONLY LIES
AND SO AS IT COMES TO PASS ONE DAY
LEARNING ALL THE SECRETS LOCKED AWAY
IN QUIET ROOMS LEFT GASPING FOR THE LIGHT
EXPOSING ALL THE WRONGS AND NOTHING RIGHT
ON A WING AND ON A SACRED PRAYER
OR WHAT ON EARTH IT TAKES TO GET YOU THERE
THE YEARS PASS BY TO CLAIM
DECAYING DYING FLESH
ALL THE COLOURS BREAK AS ONE
THE RAINBOW DREAMER SEEKS THE GOLD
AN ANGUISHED CRY
A LIFE
DEEP IN THE GROUND

Lyrics

TESTAMENT OF TRUTH
GOLDEN SUN
WATCH ME BLEED AND SCORCH MY SHADOW
CRESCENT MOON
REFLECTING LIGHT ON PATHWAYS IN THE TWILIGHT
WHO IS THERE TO LEAD THE WAY ?
THE BURNING CROSS BECOMES A SIGN
SO TAKE THE OPEN TRAIL
TO THE DELTA OF OUR THOUGHTS
HEY WAR BABY
WHEN YOU SCREAM OUT CAN YOU FEEL YOUR MOTHER'S PAIN
DO WE BELIEVE
PARCHMENT TALES FROM OH SO LONG AGO ?
THE TIDES ROLL BACK TO PART THE WAY
THE BOOK OF WORDS WE SWEAR UPON
SUFFICE FOR ONLY CHRISTIAN NEEDS
IT'S THE TRUTH TO SOME DEGREE !
(IF YOU BELIEVE)
