Buried in the Sky
Upon the beauty we did walk
And of its glory we spoke our talk
But then they came their tongues a fork
And by their words we were caught
We touch the earth, she is the Mother
We are Her birth, we touch the earth
We are Her after birth, cut the cord
We are absorbed
Great Spirit how could we understand
Such annihilation could be planned
We desired only to embrace the land
Mother, Farther we no longer stand
We touch the earth, she is the Mother
We are Her birth, we touch the earth
We are Her after birth, cut the cord
We are absorbed
Oh the mystery and wonder of rolling thunder
But they came with their religion of greed and plunder
I want to die in my own land
Where human beings are buried in the sky
Thank you for my victory and my defeat
Thank you for y vision and my blindness
You have decided we will walk a road to nowhere
Walk a road to nowhere
The grass will not grow
The wind does not blow
The sky is not blue and the great nation was through
Buried in the sky
We are absorbed

Shikasta
Sensing the warm behind your eyes
The stillness and rage of water
Our oceans meet apart
The flesh descends clasping
Oh my friend its to this earth we call
A flame ignited for a moment
When we held the world in a breath
When we held the world
How can I ever forget your sweet love
Your touch dancing on my body
Your eyes the mystery of my own being
When we held the world in a breath
When we held the world
Our tears fall for all
Oh Shikasta, Shikasta
The multitudes are reeling
Stricken they are stricken
And we can only recall
When we held the world in a breath
When we held the world
Oh Shikasta, Shikasta

Aorea
before the darkness came
In wondrous waves towards you I reach
Back on our timeless and blissful beach
Approaching you through star light calling
Realising I am dreaming
At my feet the water shallow and crystal deep
To myself I say you are asleep
This is a dream moved by the moon
Its voice sings and I swoon
Aorea, Aorea, before the darkness came
It must be told how you really feel
This body alone is so unreal
I deeply, dearly, profoundly love you
Forged in the fragrance of the sun anew
Aorea, Aorea, before the darkness came
It wells up and up, beginning-less
A ceaseless spring clear and restless
Lost inside a dream inside a song
There you are not gone
Aorea, Aorea, before the darkness came

Sweetest Of Knifes
Honey child
A swarming cloud
Darkened my mind
And rained out the sun in my heart
Left me blind
Honey child
Stumbling I fell
And wailed at the walls
Of this hell
If you could see the light in me
Burning all night
The moon is in the sea
And that’s a trail of fire
I left behind me
Honey child
It’s a storm of pain
Memories call
Time and again
Sweetest of knifes in my chest
Homey child
Where you still rest
To awake in my dreams
There my life is best
If you could see the light in me
Burning all night
The moon is in the sea
And that’s a trail of fire
I left behind me

Misty Tides
Gazing at islands
Floating on misty tides
Sitting at harbours edge
Endless light play
Golden sun on bay
Dawn clouds
Lapping water at my feet
Birds calling
Stillness moving
A place where dreams meet, a place where memories weep
A place where the future shines, a place where my heart cries,
Take me home
Though we were touched by a heart that was dark we know
Soon the light it will shine
Then we will dance and we’ll sing and we’ll praise this name again, nameless beyond time soon the light it will shine
Stillness moving, silence calling all day long
Night is falling
Stillness still moving
Silver moon calls the ocean
Glinting shimmering
Silence of roaring waves
Just beyond he sand bar
And I am, I am, I am
Reaching for islands
Far, far away in my mind
Though we were touched by a heart that was dark we know
Soon the light it will shine
Then we will dance and we’ll sing and we’ll praise this name again, nameless beyond time soon the light it will shine

Elements Merging
Now I’m distant floating away on the edge of the day
Floating away I don’t know where
Now I’m melting floating away on the edge of the day
Floating away I don’t know where
Now I’m closer feeling fluid
Now I’m closer floating on in on the light of the night
So deeply dark yet so bright
Now I’m distant drifting away on the edge of the day
Drifting away I don’t know where
Now I’m misty drifting away on the edge of the day
Drifting away I don’t know where
Now I’m closer feeling light
Now I’m closer drifting on in on the light of the night
So deeply dark yet so bright
Now I’m distant fading away on the edge of the day
Fading away I don’t know where
Now I’m dissolving fading away on the edge of the day
Fading away I don’t know where
Now I’m closer feeling no boundary
Now I’m closer fading on out on the light of the night
So deeply dark yet so bright
Now I’m distant spacing away on the edge of the day
Spacing away I don’t know where
Now I’m gone spacing away on the edge of the day
Spacing away I don’t know where
Now I’m closer feeling expansion
Now I’m closer on spacing out on the light of the night
So deeply dark yet so bright

Quiet Now the Sweeper

Quite Now
Quite now the prey that has fallen
Deep within the jaws of the tiger
There is no escape for the needle and the magnet
Sun stone emits fire
In the presence of heat water evaporates
Quite now the lover has fallen
Deep within the arms of the beloved
Oh mother of pearl reveal to us your silver
Dive into oneself to obtain the self pearl
In the ocean of the womb
Quite now the seeker has fallen
Deep within the heart of the fire
Old beneath father of ashes
Seething cinders, all life comes to rest here
Help us digest the evil facts of history
Quite now the sleeper has fallen
Deep within the dream of the darkest night
Crushed by the burden of our own stories
Pressed down so far down
Into deep rest, we may awaken
Quite now the prey that has fallen
Deep within the jaws of the tiger
When my love returns I will be subsided
Deep within the glow of the flame of fire
That burns within the belly of the tiger
The Sweeper
When blossoms fall
And the nectar flows
Then comes the Tui
Singing and calling
When dust has gathered
And the flower descended
Then comes the cleaner
Sweeping and gathering
When seeds are sown
And the tree grown
Then comes the decline
Sinking and realigning
Here comes the Sweeper
Sweeping us all away
