2. Empty Temples
Before the clocks started counting
We built shrines to the sun
Conducted rites by the moonlight
Now remembered by none
As we move through the future
We are warmed by the past
Like a fire on a cold, dark night
But dawn's here at last...
Let go of all that binds you
Your kind will always find you
We must give up the old ways
Though they've served us well
The rituals have lost meaning
What were temples are shells
But there is a new path
That always has been
As we set foot upon it
Let us fear not the end
Let go of all that binds you
Your kind will always find you
An endless series of meaningless tasks
Each one distracting us all from the last
Look all around at the things you've been given
What do you see?
Beauty and splendor, destruction and ruin
All in your memory!
Let go of all that binds you
Your kind will always find you
3. High Country
Brothers...
Sisters...
Listen closely...
To the earth...
Dawn arrives...
A rooster wails...
Alouds enshroud the mountainside
Like a virgin's bridal veil
Summer nights
Silent trees
Fireflies
Like galaxies
Encircled by
Black butterflies
Up the road
Side by side
Down the valley
Come raging storms
Dying just as fast
As they are born
On summer nights
Among the trees
Fireflies
Like galaxies
Taking flight
Upon the breeze
Butterflies
Of ebony
4. Tears Like Diamonds
Wait til the dawning of old Sirius
See the world as it was new
There is a mist upon the meadow
And the stirring souls are few
She hears the starlings cry at daybreak
And the tolling of the bells
She shivers in the chill of the morning air
Drawing water from her well
With tears like diamonds upon her haggard face
Hear the owls cry at midnight
And the towers tolling bells
There is a fog upon the forest
Where she's been she'll never tell
With tears like diamonds upon her haggard face
With tears like diamonds upon her haggard face
With tears like diamonds upon her haggard face
With tears like diamonds upon her haggard face
With tears like diamonds
With tears like diamonds upon her haggard face
With tears like diamonds
5. Mist And Shadow
High in the mountains and deep in the pines
Lies the source of a vortex where certain forces align
With nothing to do but commune with the trees
In the valley of mist and shadow restless souls can be released
Why do people wonder if there is evil in the world?
If it's lurking in the darkness until its plans can unfurl
When it's standing before you in the clear light of day
In a finely tailored suit with a smile on its face
Sun and moon
Light and shadow
Sacred ground
To be hallowed
In the hills
And the hollows
Where it wills
We will follow
Sun and moon, light and shadow
Sacred ground, to be hallowed
In the hills, and the hollows
Where it wills, we will follow

7. Seriously Mysterious
Beware those gipsy witches, they are not what they seem
One might try to put a hex on you
Sisterly mysteries, or just tattoos and jewelry
How they do it is nothing new
Flying by, a stitch in time, waiting for the night to come
Living their whole lives just making love and having fun
A wise man and a fool
Who should serve and who should rule
Everything happens as it should
So take a look around and ask yourself
Do I see nothing good?
All you worldly wizards in your ragged finery
Never having nothing to say
What will you do, what will become of you
When your magic fades away
Getting by, by staying high, waiting for the light to come
To save us from damnation, god sent his only son.
A wise man and a fool
Who should serve and who should rule
Everything happens as it should
So take a look around and ask yourself
Do I see nothing good?

9. Early Snow
The days are getting short again
Leaves fall from the trees
Nights are haunted by howling winds
Harbingers of the freeze
But sometimes there's no way to know
Until it's
Too late and
You wake up to an early snow
Eyes have become cold again
Like distant lights in the trees
Waiting for winter to begin
Before it's up to your knees
But some things you can never know
Until it's
Too late and
You're buried under an early snow
Brace yourself against the cold
Wish you could have stayed in bed
Falling leaves of red and gold
A nascent nexus lies ahead
When the days become warm again
Mountains covered with green
Flowers bloom as the clouds roll by
There ain't a better sight to be seen
Brace yourselves against the cold
There is a road we all must tread
Falling leaves of red and gold
A nascent nexus lies ahead
10. The Dreamthieves
Searching
As you look up into the sky
Heavens above
Reflect the starlight in your eyes
Moving
Like a shadow
Disembodied and alone
Somewhere
In the darkness
Beyond the dusk, before the dawn
Dreaming
Beneath the velvet cloak of night
The dark appear
And feel your spirit taking flight
Lurking
By the roadside
Hungry eyes, hearts of stone
Don't stray
From the pathway
Till you see the lights of home
Moving
Like a shadow
Disembodied and alone
Somewhere
In the darkness
Beyond the dusk, before the dawn
11. Buzzards
He is a deadly and desperate man
On the run with gun in hand
Fleeing from the hangman's noose
An outlaw with nothing to lose
A pack of wolves surrounds its prey
The mighty beast is brought to bay
The smell of blood is in the air
And soon the buzzards will claim their share
They gather round the gallows
They circle overhead
Stalking the wounded beast
Until it's dead
Clouds pass before the moon
Eyes surround him in the gloom
A single bullet left in his gun
The buzzards wait till the morning comes

13. Ghost Eye
In the morning we wake to the sun
When it sets we know our day is done
Tonight as we sleep we will dream
Till the next day has come
While the ghost eye watches
Sees into your soul
Ghost eye watches
Sees into your soul
Ghost eye watches
Sees right through your soul
In the winter we endure the snows
In the summer the waters will flow
And the seeds that are planted in spring
By the autumn will grow
14. Turned To Dust
They've got gold in their eyes
They speak a language of lies
But when the wheel is turned
Their mighty castles will burn
A lesson to be learned...
That the amaranth never fades
As we live out our days
It shall grow on our graves
When all of us turn to dust
Petals fall from a rose
What she already knows
With the passing of years
There will be nothing to fear
She will shed no tears...
Because amaranth never fades
As we live out our days
It will grow on our graves
When our bones have all turned to dust
Immortal amaranth never fades
As we pass though this phase
It shall grow on our graves
When all of us have turned to dust
15. The Bees Of Spring
Gather your nectar, oh bees of the spring
Gather your nectar, oh bees of the spring
Give me your honey, spare me your stings
Glisten with dew drops, oh rose of the morn
Glisten with dew drops, oh rose of the morn
Show me your beauty, spare me your thorns
Gather your nectar, oh bees of the spring
Give us your honey, spare us your sting
Glisten with dew drops, oh rose of the morn
Show us your beauty, spare us your thorn
Gather your nectar, oh bees of the spring
Give me your honey, but spare me your stings
Glisten with dew drops, oh rose of the morn
Open your pedals, and put away your thorns
