1. Tir Na n'Òg
I sent out this tune for that you know
That I'm now free beyond the chains of time
I've left these earthly shores and following the call
I've reached the elysian isles west of Erin
But I know some golden day we'll meet again my friend
And dance upon the plains of Tir Na n'Òg
Known by many names it's Mag Mell, the Plain of Pleasures
It's Tir Tairngiri and Tir Na Sorcha, Land of Light
No pain, no pain, no pain upon these shores
Oh, timeless place beneath the wailing waves
(Land of the young)
No pain, no pain, no pain behind these crags
Oh, placeless realm beyond our waning world
(Land of the heart's desires)
And when it's time for you to set the sails
You will hear this longing deep inside
Oh, land of gods and fairies where former mortals dwell
And speak of glorious days past and to come
All eat the golden apples – Lugh of the silver spear
The Daghda of the great and sacred cauldron
Mannanan Mac Lir of the waves and Angus Òg
The god of poetry – the god of love
No pain, no pain, no pain upon these shores
Oh, timeless place beneath the wailing waves
(Land of the young)
No pain, no pain, no pain behind these crags
Oh, placeless realm beyond our waning world
(Land of the heart's desires)
And all of you who are intense in your desires
Are welcome here in Tir Na n'Òg
But mortals are a fickle crew just give them paradise
All they're looking for is hunger, strife and death
2. Falling Away
Do you remember little Bettyhill
And how we climbed the ancient broch
How the silence rises above our griefs
As the sun brakes through the clouds
Paralysed with tension your still running
Running away – looking back in pain
And future sees the fears in your eyes
Oh I wish someday they'll fall – away
So let it go
Everything is falling away
Just lettin' go
And all tears will seep away
So let it go
Everything is falling away
Just lettin' go
And faith will rise again
Do you remember driving north the A 838
And how we reached Faraid Head
The storm that blew away all our bad thoughts
And how you felt alive that day
You say years are rushing by so fast
Too fast to make things safe
And still I see that fear in your eyes
Oh I wish someday it will fall – away
3. Pilgrim (All Inside)
Travel – Arrival
These days will burn down
Will turn to lines of ash
Upon the map of time
Coming – Going
Passion to sorrow
To fear of this walk
Of this march around the wheel
But it's all inside this moment
Don't look out for what have been
Don't look out for what may come
'Cause it's all inside this moment
All that you'll ever see
That you'll ever be
Travel – Arrival
These lives will burn down
Will turn to nameless parts
Of the circle of life
Stopping – Starting
Hope turns to greed
Turns to hate for the days
For the years of shattered dreams
But it's all inside this moment
Don't look out for what have been
Don't look out for what may come
'Cause it's all inside this moment
All that you'll ever see
That you'll ever be
4. Over The Rim
Take me away – over the rim
Take me away – far across the line
Take me away – over the sill
Take me away – above the skies
Towards my secret source
Carry me home – let me rest within
Inside of your calm – inside your light
Carry me home – let me feel your warmth
Let me rest for just a while
Take me away – over the brim
Take me away – far across the ledge
Take me away – over the brink
Take me away – across the seas
Towards my sacred spring
Carry me home – let me rest within
Inside of your calm – inside your light
Carry me home – let me feel your warmth
Let me rest here deep inside
Let my heart reflect your love
Like the moon reflects the light of the sun
Let my soul reflect your breadth
Like one single year reflects the wheel – the turning wheel of life
Take me away – over the rim
Take me away – far behind the veil
Take me away – over the brim
Take me away – beyond this sphere
5. Power Of Thoughts
You drown in the blackness of this world
I ride upon waves of brightest light
You are enchained between insuperable borders
I'm free beyond these illusive chains
You think your sorrow's caused by your pain
But I know the pain follows your thoughts
You lose yourself in fears about what may come
Right now I find the beauty of this moment
I know – I know
There's power in our thoughts
I see – I see
The passion in your dreams
I know – I know
There's love beyond our hatred
I see – I see
The light beneath your scars
You hate the dark and threatening night
I love to watch the glistening stars
You think weakness is our destiny
I know all power's in ourselves
You say you cannot touch the skies
I tell – I tell you that you can
Just let's spread our white, wide wings
And fly – now leave behind
Your anger, your blindness, your sorrow, your need
Your hatred, your sickness, your mania, your greed
I know – I know
There's power in our thoughts
I see – I see
The passion in your dreams
I know – I know
There's love beyond our hatred
I see – I see
The light beneath your scars
6. Turn The Tide
Deep cracks – Deep sores
Cut through this bleeding land
Our triumph – Our reign
Illusions taste so sweet
One moment – One second
Of power's all it needs
Today – Is the day
The time
Time to turn the tide
Deep cuts – Deep wounds
Run through this yearning life
Your hunger – Your fate
Doubts burnt too long too bright
This moment – This second
Is the one to raise your mind
Today – Is the day
The time
Time to turn the tide
And when there's nothing left to light your world
Just turn around and I'll be there
And when you think the whole world's tumbling down
Just close your eyes – you'll see
It's time to turn the tide
7. Gayatri
Om bhur bhuvah svaha
Tat savitur varenyam
Bhargo devasya dhimahi
Dhiyo yo nah prachodayat
8. So High
Have you ever been up on the hills
Embraced by the sound of rippling brooks
And have you ever drank the pure and clean water
Of some hidden, sacred spring
Have you ever stayed out through the night
To watch the blue and silent sunrise
Have you ever slept upon an ancient mound
And dreamt a deep dream of the Otherworld
Have you ever walked through some black, old forest
Embraced by the memories of the sleeping sidhe
Have you ever talked with the trees around
And felt their strange and mysterious power
Have you ever sat by the standing stones
And noticed the calm rising inside
Have you ever seen this shining light
Have you ever been
So high
A deeper love to find
So deep inside
Embraced by higher light
Have you ever been up on the top of the world
Embraced by the silence of the gods
Have you ever listened to the ocean's tunes
Sang by the waves coming in again and again
Have you ever been out at the holy places
And felt some half-forgotten fire inside
Have you ever seen this pure, white light
Have you ever been
So high
A deeper love to find
So deep inside
Embraced by higher light
It's never too late, too late – it's never, never
Never too late, too late – it's never, never
Never too late, too late – it's never, never
Never too late, too late – to see the light
9. Kernunnos
Samhain's passed
The circle starts again
While life comes to an end
Autumn unfolds
Her flaming shroud
Of red and golden leaves
A withering world
That drowns in thickening mists
While shapes and outlines blend
Evening shadows arise
And daylight starts to fade
Give way to emptiness
Give way to night's embrace
But my time will come
A seed deep within
I'll rise again
My time will come again
My green against your grey
Someday I'll rise again
And dance upon your graves
Dawn has come
The world falls asleep
While darkness spreads it's wings
Oblivion awakes
And memories turn to ice
Give way to winter's breath
Give way to vanity
But my time will come
A seed deep within
I'll rise again
