I Searched For Wisdom in the Stars
To Kill Decisions From Afar
I Looked For Truth in Desperate Skies
A Twilight Screaming Empty Lies
I Asked For Life From Mother Earth
But She Refused to Give Me Birth
I Breathed the Powers of the Air
And Dared to Taste My Own Despair
My Hope Is Above and Beyond The
Temporal
My Hope Is Above and Beyond the Trees
I Believe in This Reality
But It Doesn't Answer What It Means To
My Hope Is
Above and Beyond
We Revel and Bath in Eerie Light
To Face the Chill of Darkest Night
Traversing Life Should Make One Wise
When Staring Death in the Eyes
(I Despise!)
Our Hope Is Above and Beyond The
Ephemeral
Our Hope Is Above and Beyond The
Trees
True Meaning Lies in Ultimacy
".our Souls Are Restless 'till We're
Found in Thee"
Our Hope Is
Our Faith Is
Our Love Is...

Rainlight
By which I write these words
Rain
And my heart leaps awkwardly
At the sound of it
At the thought of it
At the approach of it
Rain
Smells of childhood
And tastes of walking home
And sounds of squeaky shoes
Anyway
Here's that photograph of us
It's funny, but I see...
Two old friends life will make of us someday
How that stirs my heart absurdly
As I write these words

Blood red tape disaster
Slow swimming black Disease
Seasons strangled stifled strained
Belief sold for diplomacy
Who will Heal the
Wounded skies
Politics terrify
Tear down the
Compromise and live For love
Who will hear the silent Cry
Our passions Crucify
There has to come a
Time when life will prove Enough
Painted warning signs of Life
Media Sinister selling Spite
Deep runs the lies
Breaking Us down
Belief Sells security
Noble ends dubious Means
Elude the Sleeper
Swift the gap closing Between

I Searched for wisdom in the stars
To Kill decisions from afar
I looked for truth in desperate Skies
A twilight screaming empty lies
I asked for Life from mother earth
But she refused to give me birth
I Breathed the powers of the air
And dared to taste my own despair
My hope is above and beyond the Temporal
My hope is above and beyond the trees
I Believe in this reality
But it doesn't answer what it Means to Me
My Hope is Above and beyond
We revel and bath in eerie light
To Face the chill of darkest night
Traversing life should make one wise
When staring Death in the eyes (I despise!)
Our hope is above and beyond the Ephemeral
Our hope is above and beyond the Trees
True Meaning lies in ultimacy
"..Our souls are Restless 'till we're Found in Thee"
Our hope is
Our faith is
Our Love is...
Above and Beyond

All things dark and beautiful
Steal my Heart away
But every day and every night I wrestle
My Decay
All things stark and bountiful
Sunlight and the Rain
But every hate and every love
Staggers from the strain
Why do we fight
For Meaning, for truth
For questions to answers
In our Bones?
The Ocean stirring
The thunder
Ready to Roll
God on high
Electrify
All things bright and wonderful
Wisdom for the wise
But every death and every life
Battles our Demise
Why do we Fear
The meaning, the truth
The Questions, the answers
In our bones?
The Waves are rising
Let lightning
Flash through my Soul
If Life impending is living
Everyone gets out Alive
Mortal life

The world is charged with the Grandeur of God
The world is charged with beauty
It will flame out, like shining from Shook foil;
It gathers to a greatness, like the Ooze of oil
Crushed
Because the Holy Ghost over the bend World
Broods with warm breast and with Ah!
Bright Wings
And for all this, nature is never Spent;
There lives the dearest freshness
Deep down things;
And though the last lights
Off the black West went
Oh, morning, at the brown brink east-Ward, springs
Because the Holy Ghost over the bend World
Broods with warm breast and with Ah!
Bright Wings

not by might

there is a level
there is a higher level
there is a kingdom
there is a kingdom at hand
we are the vessels
we are the earthen vessels
You are Messiah
You are Messiah the Prince
You are Messiah
and You will reign forever!
not by might
not by force
by the spirit
You are the One eternal

i've come far to be here with you
farther than i thought i could
i've more courage now than i have ever
let on to you
and it's in the way you're moving
as uneasy as your smile
i can tell you're slowly dying
can we stop and talk awhile
now as far as i can remember
you've been running all your life
and it seemed you ran forever
'cause i was always left behind
now that i have caught up to you
there are things i have to say
like i'm happy to be near you
but i cannot stay
my love's an ocean
you are the moon
the stars - our windows
the sky is our room
these are more than simple changes
they are painful and profound
and you might consider pacing life
below the speed of sound
no i can't take your wounds from you
things you've done i cannot undo
i can only hope to love you
like the ocean loves the moon
i am an ocean
you are the moon
our life - the morning

it's amazing the kind of impact a single decision makes!
beside the ocean Santa Cruz
i face the pathway i must choose
the city lights they seem so bright
my eyes are dazzled by the night
the crashing surf, the ocean air
the cypress bough, the morning glare
can my heart breathe beneath this load
the fog on San Andreas road
my heart, sympathy
broken life surrender me
suggestions
open to your will
blue skies paradise
fragile as a great surprise
does your love move within me still
my hopes and dreams
all washed ashore
they never reached the lighthouse door
abandoned ships
with tattered sails, buried treasure,

[AD1310.parallel.Nu-Japan.origin.Shinjuku province.The Traverser - turning stones, tempting fate.]
Gathered in
Clenched
I'm a handful of dust born of now
Silence changing the sound of futures
I'm stepping out into fearless traverse
Not without menace
Across a furious planet
Deftly maneuvering the steep climbs of reason
Armed only by fate
Like phantom skin braving wars
Without and within
Sunshine
Awkward and thirsty
And no oasis in Eternity Sands
Courage is destination
And nightfall is lunar avarice
Now drenched in rain and dread
And encircled by shadow warriors
Venomous, storm-size and mercenary
Then at the threshold
Cool distance
You stood illuminated by terrifying bursts!
You ride the brilliance
You are light
You are the construct
You defy dimension, tenn0!
You are One
You are eternal
Absolute
You are imperial
Sovereign
Yeah, tenn0 tenn0!
Flash of white
You ripped the fabric of the real
Shrieks of anguish the sting of ozone
Before the atom crush
My sign distorted
My view Copernican
But what I witnessed that night spared my life
And has haunted me since
Yes, we are handfuls of dust
Yet made of stars
You have fastened
Across the walls of this room without ceiling
But our aimless existence is given meaning
When at the threshold
Without distance
You stand in Your meridian!
You breathe redemption
Motive
Power
You're elemental
Super-collider
Yeah tenn0!
You are air and earth, fire and ocean
You are Word, You are tenn0, tenn0!
You ride the brilliance
You are light
You are the construct
You defy dimension, tenn0!
You are One
You are eternal
Absolute
You are imperial
Sovereign

people aching desperate streets walking no ghosts here reality
concrete raining merciless bitter
taste feel the chill agony fire no attempt scratch the earth above
the earth life struggle across the tower
outside the structure grotesque no crime no vindication doomed to
fate under thunder skies open you wait for
P e a c e
h o p e
l o v e
j e s u s c h r i s t
chosen futile no response from the masses enigma faceless
thousand destiny twisted speeding the process
prisoners of a genetic disorder eyes so bright in the shadows
fearing tomorrow when sunlight can kill but they have love
millions of people walk the cracks in the streets where we live why

Hold my arms
Hold my legs
I can't keep my feet on the ground
Hold me down
I'm in love again
When she smiles
I believe
That the world
Could stop spinning around
Hold me down
I know it's real this time
Real love never gives up!
Will she run?
Will she stay another season
More than the last?
Will it pass
Until I'm in love again
True love never gives up!
Your pure love enduring
Is always with me
Never leaves me

The world should know this by now:
Healing can only come through one miracle man
looking at the world and what do i see?
i see a human race losing to its apathy
from the physical salvation of the world at large
to the spiritual diseases in our own back-yards
annihilation of the wilderness
forced into mass extinction from the life they possess
torn from mother earth and the blanket of life
how can we survive?
when the last solution is the miracle man
i'm treading on this paradise lost
where fuel for life is at that life's cost
where peoeple, like a plague, grow by leaps and bounds
in this oasis which was paradise found
like a deadly coalition of a fascist machine
we'd rather give in to the lust than overthrow the
regime
our lust for domination is a world-wide scheme
color peace in green
it's a one in a million miracle
i'm walking through this world-wide pain
looking for shelter from the burning rain
where death like pollution flow through rivers and seas
but i find sanctuary when i'm down on my knees
but the earth keeps spinning in the dying wind
it turns and turns long after all the speeches end
although world-wide consciensness is where to begin

she is someone
easy to believe in
my mother, my faith
she is moonglow when the night has fallen
my pathlight, my way
i could not wait, why should i wait
to tell her
she is shelter
when the storms are coming
my weather, my rain
she is destination
when i'm always running
i love her that way
i could not wait - how could i wait
to tell her
and though i've shown her many times
the love she's brought into my life
i'll never know how much it would mean
if i had told her everything
she's someone easy to remember
i've loved her that way
how could i wait, how could i wait?

your wounds
your eyes
your strength
your lies
i want more
want it all
everything
everything
reveal yourself to me!
show your face
show your veins
scratch your scales
lift your wings
spill your blood
bare your soul
sacrifice
this is gold
reveal yourself!
until your self is revealed
and if i never touch your scars
i'll know who you are
only if you tell me
and what if i will never know
how you're hurting so
only you can say
life is loss
death is gain
if love is truth
say your name
i want more
want it all
everything
everything
reveal yourself to me!
until your soul is revealed

"lift your voices
lift your holy hands
lift your praises high
lift them up in the name of the author of love
time - bending, everlasting
Almighty God from age to age
beginning and ending
one God worthy to be praised!
God is love
love is God
and He's invincible
lift your troubled soul
lift your weary eyes
lift your broken life
lift them up in the name of the auther of faith
effecting and causing
Almighty Lord of time and space
who was and is and is to come

Dreams, soundlessly rise then turn and fall Like hope
Longing for time to end it all
These broken hands - trembling towards a Shape Of promise
Broken light passing before my eyes
Now, motionless in its every move
My Faith dies with every living proof
My trembling hands - fighting to grasp the shape Of promise
Holding on with Everything I am
Against the slate-green cross Jil sent me
Above the beating of my heart
Beneath the Weight I cannot carry
Unspeakable grace has whispered love
If, Fearlessly I should face it all
And if, shamelessly I should turn and fall
Upon these Hands - weathered and stained with Hope and promise
I will stand Healed before your eyes
...beneath the weight I Cannot carry

My faith my grief my fear my blood
My trust my flesh my hate my love
These bones my skill this skin my pity
My time - it shells the fate upon me
Your turn your twist foresight and acumen
Your will your wish your primacy
My valor my virtue my perils my regrets
Remain inviolate - perforce
Through Your power
I fathom grace at fathom speed
My prayer my plea request repleat
Receive reply reveal! Reveal!
Godspeed in motion and force
Godspeed the power and source
Godspeed God's grace God's love
No more no less no fear no need
No height no depth too great

Falling underneath again
Enchanted words of evil men
Wills will bow and wills will bend
Prayers against my will I send
Falling where I cannot stand
Descending into depths again
Prayers into the breach I send
When flesh grows thick
The blood flows thin
Knees they bow and knees they bend
Scream my soul into the wind
Not by the power of man
But by the power of the living God
The power that preserves
Beneath the hate beneath deceit
I will rise
I will rise up!
On the precipice again
Falling where I cannot stand
Scream my soul into the wind
Flesh grows thick and blood flows thin
Falling underneath again
Not by the power of man
But by the power of the living God
The power that forgives
Beneath the weight beneath defeat
You will rise
You will rise up!
In our final hour
You display Your POWER
Now through the death of the Son of God
And through the powerlessness of man
Despite the world and its disbelief
He will rise!

Your love is lifting me up
Now I'm standing firm in place
Where I've always fallen before
I rise, I soar
I'll never know how your love has lifted me up
Your spirit, lifting me up
Surround, sourrounding me
I will never be alone again
Enfold, encircle
I cannot hide from beneath Your gaze

Above The Falling Sky
Beyond The Mystic Haze
Across The World So Wild
In Bluish Fever
I Wait For The Sky To Fall
I Wait For The Haze To
I Wait For The Wild To Call
My Wait Is Here
Fear - The Killer
Hate - The Enemy
Love - The Power
The Limit
Outside The Edge Of Sight
Beneath The Shifting
Behind A Trick Of Light
I Glimpse Forever
I Pray For The Sight To See
I Pray For The Earth To
I Pray For The Light To Be
I Pray My Saviour
Under The Aegis Of The
Living God
(We) I Trust And Love With
Under The Aegis Of A Lov-

(We) I Live And Breathe
Love The Killer
Love The Enemy
God The Power

How fierce the fear
How thick the blood
How dim the glass
I look into and through
How sweet the fall
How swift the blow
How slow the rush
I catch perpetual limbo
How deep the cut
How dark the rift
How wide the wake
I weave I sink I drown in
How black the day
How red the moon
How pale the stars
That burn in pallid splendor
Vision so strange
A welcome change
How true the Word
How tried the soul
How tired the wait
Poised to kill the will the sacrifice
How dim the sky
How thick the blood
How fierce the love
That embraced the Death
To free the life
Those Words tore at my soul
I feigned surrender now I've lost Control
Moved by the Spirit of the mighty God
He spoke - I'm shaken
My Pride, fallen away
Steep was the Cross and the Price to pay
Struck down in the presence of
The living God
Made Alive from nothing
Blessed, I'm Blessed
Possessed by the One the Spirit
That moved me
Healed without Scars
Made alive from nothing
Saved, I'm saved
By grace I'm Shaped
Formed into being from the Earth Of my life
By the Hand of God

we walk the walls in this freak of flesh
along the twists of our visceral mesh
against the powerflow of motionless flood
it's an experience of the flesh and blood
i face the weight of this gravity
i face the Beauty in the things i can't see
i face the Weakness that has rendered me strong
i face the fate of my existence head on
ready to Bleed
ready to Feel
ready to Love
without fear
i, i'm alive, am Alive, i'm alive and Awake!
i pray for wisdom in the days of my Youth
i pray for courage in the presence of Truth
i pray for Grace at each approach of the sun
i pray for peace and for the Kingdom to come
i walk the world in this vessel of flesh
inside the twists of this visceral mesh
caught in the powerflow of motionless flood
it's an experience of the flesh and the blood
for all that lives and dies
entails a sacrifice of love
though the earth, the surf, the skies
are gilded with good-byes
be sure - God is in Control
and when the dead leaves fall
for time will fail us all
never fail to remember
the One in whom we move and breath
and have our being
is the God who's in Control!
how do we die?
how do we sleep?
when we're ready to be human

have you waited long
for me to come around?
did you know that i was lost
hoping you would be the one
to find me?
all the wasted while
away from you my love
will fall in perfect time
like tears - back into my life
soon!
i'm turning down
my giving up
on principles
i'm throwing out
my bitter cup
in oceanfuls
five days together
is not enough for me
when it's forever
we'll have to wait and see
i'm throwing down
serious amounts of emptiness

filter - save me
i am dying
i don't want to
become nothing
filter - heal me
fill what's empty
have compassion
spare my baby
cleanse me, filter
in your waterfall
filter - show me
signs and wonders
send down, filter
rain and thunder
drown me, filter
in your waterfall
stay alive!
survive for me
please hang on
be strong
because help is on the way
hang on
hold on
be strong

fallen beneath Your sky
with nowhere else to run
i've raced across my life
learning to die
trembling before You now
i turn towards the sun
i've come this far somehow
only to find
i can lift up my eyes to you
i lift them up
i can trust that my help comes soon
love quickly come!
as You cover the hills in nightfall
and a blanket of stars above
please remember my broken heart
as i lift it up Lord
when the waters of my soul
threaten to run dry
there Your power holds
turning the tide
one wilderness cannot steal the strength of sacrifice
how Your love was revealed in the fullness of time
i will lift up my eyes to You
i lift them up
i will trust that my help comes soon
love quickly come!
as You cover the world in splendor
and the mystery of Your love
i remember Your broken heart

Frozen solitude
A creeping blue companion
Whispers in snow
Calling for a white embrace
As the fire dies
Illusions fade in the storm
Cast the howling
Of a dying forgotten soul
Roaming the wilderness
Searching for a long lost home
Terror in the snow

Eyes glimmer like the hoar-frost
Yet thrice devoid of warmth
Like the sun reflects on snowy fields
Wit sparkles bright as a dying star
Within the gaze lies a merciless will
Yet thrice devoid of grace
Like the mother drowns her own child

Flowers of ice
Painted on the windows
By the wintry hand
Of December frost
Cold and grey
Joining in the moment blue
Silence of tears
Emotional hibernation
Trying to catch
The thread of joy
Slipping from the reach

Waiting the blue silence
No more distractions
Last footsteps echo
Fading away
Passed unnoticed
Where I lay
Embraced by the frost
Hypothermia
Numbing limbs
Painful a breath
No more bleeding

Shivers raising hair
Enthralled of the night
Under her moonlit cloak
Under branched arms
Isolation
Alone with thoughts
With nightly voices
From near and afar
Gasping the frisky air
As I stare upwards
Connecting to the stars

My hearts had all it can take
You are in love, but not with me
A siren from afar
Wanting to depart
I know where you are
It felt like all my words were fake
It felt like my time was yours to waste
I barely recall what tore us apart
I know where you are
I've been there before
What we've become
Barely what we used to be
We were the city
You were the glass
And I was steel (x2)
My hearts had all it can take
You are in love, but not with me
So what, who cares
I know that there's
Another you...
What we've become
Barely what we used to be
We were the city
You were the glass
And I was steel
Do you know what it takes when things just turn out wrong?
What we've become
Barely what we used to be
We were the city
You were the glass
And I was steel
What have we become?
Barely what we used to be
We were the city
You were the glass

You're out of time, out of line
And you're out of options
With the presence of mind to escape
But you wait
Time after time you've delayed your fate
You want to live, want to live
So just do it
You know you have to be the one to get to it
But without mistakes there's no brakes to slow you down
I would like to destroy what you take from me
It's hard to repeat what you say to me
It's hard to repeat what you're like when you lie
I would sure like to destroy what you take from me
It's hard to repeat what you say to me
It's hard to repeat what you're like when you lie, lie...
Go out and play, plan to make some noise
Go out on your own way
You think you've found your home (I didn't think so) (x3)
You should just leave because
I would like to destroy what you take from me
It's hard to repeat what you say to me
It's hard to repeat what you're like when you lie
I would sure like to destroy what you take from me
It's hard to repeat what you say to me

If I am bound to fall on the floor
I will fall for sure
To the sounds of bewilder
I am bound to fall
Is it just all, all about timing
Turn on the phyisical switch
And pretend to be in love
There's bad news coming, there's bad news coming around
When you walked across the shore
Your footsteps found
All those land mines in awkward placement
I'd hoped you'd step around
But you found
And now I'm out
All those land mines found
Land mines found
Waves of sound
Crashing down
Are you feeling brand new now?
Cuz you're breaking, breaking down
Waves of sound
Crashing down
Are you feeling brand new now?

There's no one to pick you up
You fell and hit the ground
Be sure you don't get up
'Til you find what needs found
Well if you try to make that burning back into you
You go up and come back down
With no particular sound
There will be a time when you'll feel all alone
You should know that's just how love goes
Well there's no one to save you now
The clouds are spinning around
And it seems like a million sounds
All at once raining down
And if you try to make that burning move back into you
Go up and come back down
With no particular sound
There's not any way that you found around it
There will be a time when you'll feel all alone
You should know that's just how it goes
But if you don't leave a light on
You will never know
Just how your love should go
Oh you'll never know
There will be a time when you'll feel all alone
You should know that's just how it goes
But if you don't leave the light on
You will never know just how your love should go
