Flares of flaming red and blonde
Sparks ignite a sacred song
Ring of fire raging; quenching; changing
Drifting spiral down below
Here in my volcano
Where seas of liquid lava flow
COME - KINDLE ME
ON THE FIERY SHORE
WHERE LOVE SAILS FREE
I'M TORCHED
Ashes raining all around
Wild combusting dreams found
Fears erupt - and then they cool down
Müüntna makes a hissing sound
COME - KINDLE ME
AT THE SECRET SOURCE
WHERE LOVE SHINES FREE
I'M TORCHED
In this valley, the grapes of wrath are stored
Feel the lightning of his terrible swift sword
Reaching out, the earth glows
In geothermal rainbows
Ring of fire raging; quenching; changing
COME - KINDLE ME
WHERE THE FIRE BIRD SOARS
WHERE LOVE FLIES FREE
I'M TORCHED
Spring Buds
On the last naked day of winter
On the eve of a fateful thaw
I was imprisoned in frozen pieces
Of heart-broken laws
Then down fell an angel renegade
Her halo read "Morning Star"
Wounded by the doom of a comet tail
She was sealed with a scar
Then a sweet lightning struck
And the earth opened us
Like spring buds
Why she ever fled heaven
And why I would hibernate
Answers why we would meet here
To equal our altered states
(chorus and bridge)
With a sacred heart-shared rhythm
We blossom through the spring
Star of the Morning shines now
On her own two wings
(chorus)
Promised Land
This is the promised land
On this mountain I stand
Read the stone on demand
It's like a burning brand
From his fiery hand
Ten things they command
To every woman, child and man
In this Promised Land
We were the Pharaoh's slaves
'Til god Jehovah forgave
He rose up a pillar of fire
Our freedom his desire
He rose up the Red Sea waves
Our ocean road to pave
To these shores of sand
In this Promised Land
Phoenix Fire
A healing fault is open now, crevassing my way
Something new will flower through the old decay
Angels of the media are radiant and clear
Tuning in, I siphon their fuel of fear
I scale across their veils of prayer, torn and televised
They reinject their vision; I see through their eyes
I think it's gonna blow tonight
My wings wanna glow up bright
I broke free from a deep desire
Stoke my phoenix fire
Cupid laughs as I reclaim my shiny golden spears
For a bell of love, melted down through the years
And they're pierced up on the edge of night
With nothing more to say
A massacre of valentines await the day
Wringing into my new form, ringing out the past
Flying low, I hear the toll of shadows cast
(repeat chorus)
Shell Shock Venus
Shell Shock Venus, aborted at sea
Her youthful uniform torn open and free
Floating where the whirlpools swirl
Men came diving for her pearl
They'd scour her surfaces
She'd dredge up their deep
In a chaotic universe, shallow and sweet
And as the merman hurled
Woman went careening from the girl
And no line of questioning
Could penetrate her nerve
But something was tapping her reserve
Ashes of innocence, splinters of dreams
Her anger in residence, ripping the seams
And petrifying fast
She anchored to that mast
Through waves of ecstasy
They'd compromise
But something was vacant in her eyes
Reptiles in water, a goddess in heat
We dreamt of a daughter, Venus and me
Floating where the whirlpools swirl
Men came diving for her pearl
Free Swinging Soul
On father's day, these branches sway
Like evergreen batons
I'm climbing up to the rhythm of their song
My vision clears; I feel him near
A summer wind blows
Father please conduct this breeze
Send my free swinging soul
Searching more into my core
Out on this limb of life
To the aging rings where all things harmonize
Through time I hear the muted fears
Too heavy now to hold
Time will teach my voice to sing
Send my free swinging soul
Heaven is all around, translated to sound
And the more I hear, the deeper I dig down
I keep digging down
Where his ashes lay
Where the needles decay
Seeds take hold, and I'll grow
'Til I free my swinging soul
On father's day my children play
They're climbing up to slide
Through the future they will seek and hide
And when they look to me in their memory
Will this melody unfold?
Father please, through these trees
Send my free swinging soul
(repeat chorus)
Rough Wind In Oklahoma
My mother nature and my father time
See their son run across that line
It's his fortieth final try
Charging forward now in heat
Then the awkward retreat
To his lonely stockade
To his imaginary maid
She's sweeping down the plain
She's under his reign
Like a rough wind howling through Oklahoma
It's a cold wind down in Oklahoma
He's been hurt once - and he's hurt one twice
And all the pain is still labeled "inside"
He's sorting it out inside
But now his voice no longer speaks
When the truth begins to leak
To the heavily love-laden mercenary maiden
But deep within their spark
His hidden orders bark
Like a rough wind howling through Oklahoma
It's a cold wind down in Oklahoma
My mother nature and my father time
See their son run across that line
It's his fortieth final try
It's his final try
Like a rough wind howling through Oklahoma
It's a cold wind down in Oklahoma
Sapphire
Her heart is hot, her face cold
Leaning the banks, weaving the road
Sea gulls squawk on sand and foam
Redwoods sway
And the cypress moan
For many miles she will roam
With the wind
Tangling her red weather vane
Her name is Sapphire
Emerald, amber, ruby light
Gemstone towers of night
Blue is sparkling inside her heart
But she keeps it out of sight
For now she feels at home alone
In the chrome black leather lane
Her name is Sapphire
Somewhere over the double line of love
Somewhere divine
Somewhere through the rain of hope
Our colors will shine
Then I will leave this road behind
To ride that rainbow
With Sapphire
Gospel of Mary / The Holy Flame
When I turned to my ma, she said,
"Son, all I know is, if you wanna move on - just let go.
Ask your father; he'll say it the same:
If you really wanna rock, child - break that chain!
Oh, throw that ball away.
You won't need it when you're flying
Into the holy flame!"
Oh, oh - Break that chain
Throw that ball away
You won't need it when you're flying
Into the holy flame
