ACT ONE
MIDNIGHT WORLD
VERSE 1
Climb aboard and we'll embark
For a new way through the dark
In the black, burning low
Where the Crooked River flows
VERSE 3
Winding by smoke and steel - (through a vale of embers)
By the broken waterwheels - (rolling in the swirl)
Under bridges locked up high - (stationed by their tenders)
We're the last ones, you and I, (from a MIDNIGHT WORLD)
BRIDGE
Winds of change are all around us
Days of reckoning have found us
Nature comes to drown us in the rain
Now we know we cannot stay in a MIDNIGHT WORLD
VERSE 4
In the white you're pure and fair
You're the light of earth and air
In the black, burning low
Near the end of all we know
VERSE 5
You and I, away we fly - (down a Crooked River)
Watching midnight waters rise - (let every meter whirl)
From an empire doomed to rust - (gone away forever)
There is nothing left for us - (but to carry fire)
VERSE 6
You caught my eye when I was just a boy
I remember such a rush joy
Forever, Rosie, you're my red light girl
Born together in a MIDNIGHT WORLD
DESERT RAIN
VERSE 1
Raise your bones up from the sand
And together we will dance
We will tango - we will burn
On the day of no return
VERSE 2
All our boats are high and dry
Water left us for the sky
Whirlwinds whip and crack the ground
Shockwaves ripple on and on
CHORUS
TELL US WE'RE IN DANGER
TELL US WE'RE INSANE
WE JUST WANT TO TANGO
IN THE DESERT RAIN
VERSE 3
Cities slide into the sea
Dry land's wide and creeping deep
Storm clouds feed on heated air
We've got fever everywhere
CHORUS
TELL US WE'RE IN DANGER
TELL US WE'RE INSANE
WE JUST WANT TO TANGO
IN THE DESERT RAIN
VERSE 3
Blacksmith Angel, block the sky
Strike your anvil, sparks will fly
Raise your hammer, take your aim
Break away these diamond chains

IN THE DESERT RAIN
VERSE 4
Raise your bones up from the sand
And together we will dance

IN THE DESERT RAIN
ENERGY FROM THE SUN
VERSE 1
We are heading in a boat of dreams
For a new way through the dark
Following a note of steam
Through the rigging burning spark
Setting everything ablaze
With a blue electric fire
Shrouded in an azure haze,
Indigo and sapphire rippling along the wires --
CHORUS
ENERGY! IN YOUR EYES, IN YOUR ARMS, WHEN YOU DRIVE IN YOUR CAR
FROM THE SKY, HERE IT COMES - BEAUTIFUL, ENERGY FROM THE SUN!
VERSE 2
The galley holds an eerie glow
Storing Energy we can burn
Sing a shanty soft and low
Pouring Energy into words
From the static in your hair
To the lightning in the air
Charging every draught you drink
Surging under every dream and every thought you think -
CHORUS
ENERGY! IN YOUR EYES, IN YOUR ARMS, WHEN YOU DRIVE IN YOUR CAR
FROM THE SKY, HERE IT COMES - BEAUTIFUL, ENERGY FROM THE SUN!
VERSE 3
Tell me what I need to hear
Tell me where the sun comes from
Telemeter reading clear
Telling where they all come from
Bigger brighter deeper sun
Older, wiser distant ones
Many, many stars ago
Tell me, telemeter, tell me what I want to know -
CHORUS
ENERGY! IN YOUR EYES, IN YOUR ARMS, WHEN YOU DRIVE IN YOUR CAR
FROM THE SKY, HERE IT COMES - BEAUTIFUL, ENERGY FROM THE SUN!
TAG
Energy From the Sun, entering everyone
Energy lighting every star –
BEAUTIFUL, ENERGY FROM THE SUN!
HERE IN THE LIGHT
VERSE 1
Come on all you witnesses - help me make a fire
Pass around the whiskey - yes, and have a little smoke
One by one your tales grow tall – towering into the sky
Down to earth you’re bound to fall – called upon to testify:
VERSE 2
Brother of the Forest, welcome to the fire
Tell us all a story – you’ve been gone so long, so far
Where do I go when I disappear? Down into a hollow where
Under glowing mist appears a kingdom shadows keep.
CHORUS
HERE IN THE LIGHT - STANDING ON THE EDGE OF WHERE IT ALL GOES DARK
HERE IN THE LIGHT - BURNING IN THE MEMORY OF OTHER WORLDS
VERSE 3
Sister of the Water, welcome to the fire
Tell us all a story – you’ve been gone so long, so far
Where do I go when I disappear in all my daily fathomings?
Down below I slip and steer for pearls of azure deep
CHORUS
HERE IN THE LIGHT - STANDING ON THE EDGE OF WHERE IT ALL GOES DARK
HERE IN THE LIGHT - BURNING IN THE MEMORY OF OTHER WORLDS
BRIDGE
When I disappear I spiral down to a little clearing outside of town
I aim to tame a timid flame, we get a little closer everyday
VERSE
Father of the Mountain, welcome to the fire
Tell us all a story – you’ve been gone so long, so far
Where do I go when I disappear over iron mountaintop?
Where it’s cold and crystal clear, off the path I leap
CHORUS
HERE IN THE LIGHT - STANDING ON THE EDGE OF WHERE IT ALL GOES DARK
HERE IN THE LIGHT - BURNING IN THE MEMORY OF OTHER WORLDS
COUNTY OF ORION
VERSE 1
I close the gate up after the party
I make my way up Iron Ore Hill
High on the range I am waylaid by a
Ruby-eyed wraith hushing me still
CHORUS
I’M A TRAVELER O' THE HIGH ROAD FROM THE COUNTY OF ORION
I’M LOADING UP ME LONGBOW FROM A BANDOLIER O’ STARS
WHEN I HEAR YOU ON THE RADIO I STRAIGHTAWAY COME FLYIN’
TO FIND YOU AT A CROSS ROAD IN THE DARK - TRYIN' TO LIGHT A WEE SPARK.
VERSE 2
I want to run but my Wellies are frozen
I'll make my last stand in a gravity well
Are you a soul cast out of heaven?
Are you a ghost lost on the hill?
CHORUS
I’M A TRAVELER O' THE HIGH ROAD FROM THE COUNTY OF ORION
I’M LOADING UP ME LONGBOW FROM A BANDOLIER O’ STARS
WHEN I HEAR YOU ON THE RADIO I STRAIGHTAWAY COME FLYIN’
TO FIND YOU AT A CROSS ROAD IN THE DARK - TRYIN' TO LIGHT A WEE SPARK.
BRIDGE
Take a mystery flight
From a lonely old road
To the simmering light
Of unlimited worlds
I can show you the way like a traveler before me
How to open a wave and roll in the whirlwind
VERSE 3
Alright, I’ll go, on one condition:
You show me all you know about superluminal flight
CHORUS
I’M A TRAVELER O' THE HIGH ROAD FROM THE COUNTY OF ORION

INTO FIRE
VERSE 1
As I look to the east I remember the beast in our cargo hold
What a surprise: light never dies; it just goes and goes
CHORUS
INTO FIRE, into slow burning fire
In you go - with the whole world entire
VERSE 2
I had a dream: you were the voice in my radio
Saying “Don’t worry,” you’ll be around on the day I go

INTO FIRE, into slow burning fire
In you go, with the whole world entire

Bring it on; I'm not afraid
To sing a song of loss and change

These are the days we slip away with an urgent star
You led the way - you always said we could turn the dark
CHORUS
INTO FIRE , into slow burning fire
In you go, with the whole world entire
BRIDGE
Bring it on; I'm not afraid
Singing songs of loss and change
‘Til only love remains
TIME MACHINE
VERSE 1 Jackie
I need to know more, what are your origins?
Where were you born? (were you made or were you born?)
VERSE 1 Trav
On a little planet by a giant star
Over in the middle of Orion’s heart
Rockin' in a cradle ’til it all came down
Cream of all Creation fell & cracked their crowns
VERSE 2 Jackie
You broke your crown; did anyone warn you
Before you fell down? (down, down, down you broke your crown)
VERSE 2 Trav
We could hear the voices crying in vain
Said we had a choice and we could try to change
Laughing when they warned us was our suicide
Shunned ‘em & ignored ‘em as we drew the blinds
CHORUS
I’M WORKING ON A TIME MACHINE
GOIN’ BACK TO MAKE IT RIGHT AGAIN
YESTERDAY’S A BROKEN DREAM
WE CAN FIX IT WITH A TIME MACHINE
VERSE 3 Jackie
You were too late, was there a way
You could escape? (way too late, to vex your fate)
VERSE 3 Trav
Found a little rock to keep our seed alive
Forty years away at the speed of light
Pedal to the metal but for those back home
Centuries o’ darkness finally took there toll
VERSE 4 Jackie
You sailed alone for a goldilocks zone
How did it go? (never be done before so what went wrong?)
VERSE 4 Trav
Failing to outrun light we had turned around
Came back to the sun light to our world and found
No one on the planet only seas of sand
No one dancing on it - no gazebo band
CHORUS
I’M WORKING ON A TIME MACHINE
GOIN’ BACK TO MAKE IT RIGHT AGAIN
YESTERDAY’S A BROKEN DREAM
WE CAN FIX IT WITH A TIME MACHINE
VERSE 5 Jackie
You raced against light and time is your curse
Why come to earth? (why in all the universe?)
VERSE 5 Trav
Heard you singing purdy on the radio
Early in your journey’s a long way to go
I have come to tell you you are not alone
I’ll be watching for ye every stepping stone
CHORUS
I’M WORKING ON A TIME MACHINE
GOIN’ BACK TO MAKE IT RIGHT AGAIN
YESTERDAY’S A BROKEN DREAM
WE CAN FIX IT WITH A TIME MACHINE
(yeah, we got a time machine - up there in the warehouse Needs a power source, th'artificial star’s done S'just pop it in and ‘ere you go!)
IN THE WIND
VERSE 1
Walk with me - in a waking dream
Through the eye - of a hurricane
Down the middle - of the spin
Walk with me - In the Wind
VERSE 2
And when you feel so alone
When you're lost - far from home
Keep your head - above the din
Walk with me - In the Wind
BRIDGE
If I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
If I wake before I die
I'll break these mortal chains away and fly
VERSE 3
We are born from the stars
Never knowing who we are
That's why you burn from within
To carry fire In the Wind
RISING OF THE SUN
VERSE 1
There is a storm coming o'er the horizon
Sending a gale we never could outrun
There is a way to remain undivided
So let us sail for the Rising of the Sun
Now I remember the harbor of our homeland
And all the people we've come to know and love
They're with us here in this moment of crossing
From water deep to the starry sky above
VERSE 2
We kept the word while everything was changing
We saw a light no one else could see
Here in the heart of a new generation
Eternal flame's no longer just a dream
While all the world's spinning down to die
Lost in the ashes of what has been undone
We slipped away on a mission to energize
And be reborn at the Rising of the Sun
VERSE 3
We will not yield to the forces around us
Nor will we fall to the voices in our heads
We will stand tall, though the darkness surrounds us
We will prevail, though by rights we should be dead
Limitless fire started with a spark
Carried by sages toiling in the dark
Finally revealed in the ray of existence
Telling every story - lighting every star
TAG
For the Rising of the Sun, the Rising of the Sun
We sail away together for the Rising of the Sun
ACT TWO
SOLO ZONE
VERSE 1
I’m not dead yet - I’m undercover
How’s it going? Not too well it seems
There’s a glitch in my stealth machine
You caught me in between
A flicker in the corner of your eye -
A phantom in your night club dream.
VERSE 2
Let’s head out - for the old gazebo
We’ll lay our shields down
Drop our shackles to the ground
Keep it one to one
Far away from eyes that pry -
From a world that’s come undone:
CHORUS
Here comes another shockwave to your SOLO ZONE
Shatters your glass ego
Should you stay or should you go?
Shadow or Magneto?
VERSE 3
Dawn to Dusk - I’m a desert pilot
And a sleuth by night
I’ll feather you fit to fly
Such a mega rush
The freedom, speed and the high –
May gravity eat our dust.
CHORUS
Here comes another shockwave to your SOLO ZONE
Shatters your glass ego
Should you stay or should you go?
Shadow or Magneto?
KEROSEL
IINTRO
On a cool electric night, caravans arrive
Roust-a-bots make ready, and a carnival comes alive
Somewhere out there, miles away from town
Trails of stardust spiral in and down
On the coasters and the Ferris Wheel
By the Freak Show - you being to feel
Someone's watching; such a ghostly stare
Now you're rising up into the air
On a Kerosel, where the stars are all
Rolling around your head
VERSE 1
Driver says, “Now get in, I can see you need a ride;
Keystone Cops are everywhere and so completely blind;
She'll do light in seconds on a dime;
Keep your hands inside her while we climb."
CHORUS
I’ll lift you up on my Kerosel
You can fly, you can ring the bell
Up so high where the stars are all
Rolling around your head
VERSE 2
You should come along sometime; I’ll show you what I mean
We’ll head out to the Carnival and ride the big machine
Then you'll know why you should come because
We are going out among the stars

I’ll lift you up on my Kerosel
You can fly, you can ring the bell
Up so high where the stars are all
Rolling around your head

On a cool electric night, caravans arrive
Roust-a-bots make ready, and a carnival comes alive
A WORLD LIKE EDEN
VERSE 1
We got a live one! Better than expected!
Atmosphere detected! It’s even got a moon!
Look at the numbers - warm enough for water
Day’s about a day long - and a little more O2
CHORUS
All these years searching for a World Like Eden
Shine on in a shared dream with those who dare believe
VERSE 2
We got a livestream! Ocean blue & islands!
Arid land & mountains! Bio-active dirt!
Incoming data! Gravity o’ninety
Pressure readout twenty! Quite a lot like earth!
CHORUS
All these years searching for a World Like Eden
Shine on in a shared dream with those who dare believe
BRIDGE
We’ll need some volunteers
To fly away from here
To check the whole thing out
To plant a seed and leave no doubt
CHORUS
All these years searching for a World Like Eden
Shine on in a shared dream with those who dare believe
We’ll need some volunteers…
JEWEL OF THE SKY
VERSE 1
When you first leave the earth
Your eyes are full of stars
Your head is full of numbers
To measure where you are
And when you’re work is done
You look back for your home
She takes your breath away
So fragile and alone
CHORUS
To those within the sound of my voice
We're over earth - our backs against the void
To New Star City - you gave us wings to fly
For the love of Eden - from the Jewel of the Sky
VERSE 2
You see no division
No borderlines or walls
No nation or religion
Not one divide at all
Many are the children
Born to fly and not to fall
Ready and awakened
To a higher skyward call
CHORUS
To those within the sound of my voice
We're over earth - our backs against the void
To New Star City - you gave us wings to fly
For the love of Eden - from the Jewel of the Sky
VERSE 3
Holy Mother Earth
In me you make a sound
You know I love you
I’m your native son
Before I turn away
To find your long-lost twin
I know I never may
See your face again
TO WIN NEW EDEN
VERSE 1
She’s been hidden for so long
Shrouded by a cloud of dust
Now her dusty veil is gone
Scattered by a stellar gust
CHORUS
On our way to win New Eden
Our new home away from home
You know that dream that we've been dreamin'?
We're not the only ones
VERSE 2
There’s incoming competition
In a silver caravan
So there’s been a change o’ mission
Get there first, declare the land
CHORUS
On our way to win New Eden
Our new home away from home
You know that dream that we've been dreamin'?
We're not the only ones
BRIDGE
We're not alone anymore
Why does each new waterhole
Always lead to tragedy and war?
VERSE 3
Why can’t we just share it all?
Why do we have to fight for life?
There’s room enough and, after all,
Been down this road too many times
CHORUS
On our way to win New Eden
Our new home away from home
You know that dream that we've been dreamin'?
We're not the only ones
BRIDGE
We're not alone anymore
Why does each new waterhole
Always lead to tragedy and war?
DAYS OUT
VERSE 1
We're only three
Days out - got a message:
Border scout tagged a vessel
Eden-bound from Eltanin way
Gotta be a glitch
Another broken switch
A system-wide snafu
And now we're only two
VERSE 2
Days out – in transition
Closer now - change o’ mission
There’s about – a dozen on the way
They've got a lot of nerve
You know we saw her first
She's got an M-class sun
And now we're only one
VERSE 3
Day out – near the star of
Eden now - in a race to
Leave no doubt – winner takes it all
And it feels so good!
To be in the lead!
To the sister-world!
And with all Godspeed...
BLACK MAGIC LADY
VERSE 1
I don't need to tell her that I love her
Something goes from soul to soul
Don't ask me how I know
She's got these eyes that see everything
And every move you make
Is unhidden from her eyes
CHORUS
She's driving me crazy
Nothing in the world can save me
There's nowhere to run when love comes
From a BLACK MAGIC LADY
VERSE 2
There's no way to measure
How far she'll go to capture a soul
There's no escaping
From this Dark-eyed girl.
CHORUS
She's driving me crazy
Nothing in the world can save me
There's nowhere to run when love comes
From a BLACK MAGIC LADY
DREAMWALKER
VERSE 1
I ain't gonna run no more from alien tornadoes
No black-eyed demon Diva's gonna freeze me with her stare
Got a little secret that 'll render them disabled
Turn 'em into empty skin and burn 'em in mid-air
CHORUS
Dreamwalker, turn and face the ones who chase you
Dreamwalker, starved of fear they fade and disappear
VERSE 2
Minding my own business unaware that I am dreaming
When a shadow ups and shoots me at point blank range
Why he is my enemy no memory can tell me
I return no fire, I don’t play that game anymore

CHORUS
Dreamwalker, turn and face the ones who chase you
Dreamwalker, starved of fear they fade and disappear
(When the wind comes up you better hold on to your hat!)
VERSE 3
I pay no attention to the swirling world around me
I keep my concentration on the earth beneath my feet
Still the planets keep on dancing, and the planets hound me
They could never lead me to the source of light and heat
CHORUS
Dreamwalker, turn and face the ones who chase you
Dreamwalker, starved of fear they fade and disappear
Dreamwalker, no machine could ever touch you
Dreamwalker, all machines are yours to keep and care
ACT THREE
TO GET BACK HOME
VERSE 1 A.T.H.E.N.A.
Do you remember how Eden fell?
Let's run the replay - so we can tell.
VERSE 1 Brendan
Watch us aero-braking into orbit over Eden
See the fleets engage and rip a hole in the sky
Anti-matter weaponry is severing connections
Leaving Eden open to the Ultra V to die
PRE-CHORUS 1
I am Terran! Destroyer of Worlds
Will you join me?
In a song of lost and broken dreams
Gone with all our means to get back Home
CHORUS
Home, to the only world we belong
Where they burn the fires ’til dawn
So we can get back Home
VERSE 2 A.T.H.E.N.A.
You rode the shockwaves - you gave your all,
Your restoration is top protocol
VERSE 2 Brendan
Opening my eyes I see we have no navigation
I don't recognize the place; how far have we been flung?
Now I realize we left her bathed in radiation
All the lies we told ourselves - the evil we have done -
PRE-CHORUS 2
I am Terran! Destroyer of Worlds
Will you help me?
Find a way to beat the odds again
To reach across the stars and get back Home
-CHORUS
Home, to the only world we've ever known
Where the constellations hold
The keys to get back Home
From the story dome -
Flashing stars to read the charts
See we can get back Home.
AS ABOVE SO BELOW
-CHORUS
Round and around and around we go
As Above So Below
Everybody ride the merry-go-round
From the King of Love
To a little clown
VERSE 1
I’ll lift you up on Pegasus
I’m going to ride the Lion
Mama Bear and the Little Bear over there
Coming up from behind
The Bull is poised ahead of us
His red eye’s on the Twins
Andromeda’s jumpin’ with a jingle and jangle sayin’
"Let the ride begin!”
CHORUS
Round and around and around we go
As Above So Below
Everybody ride the merry-go-round
From the King of Love
To a little clown
VERSE 2
Orion’s off chasing rabbits
When he fell right over the rim
He’ll be gone all summer long
And back with the winter wind
Hercules’ll ram a dagger into the Dragon
The hero always wins
There goes Virgo in her little world, Oh
Happily now she spins.
CHORUS
Round and around and around we go
As Above So Below
Everybody ride the merry-go-round
From the King of Love
To a little clown
VERSE 3
Andromeda’s got The Dipper
She gave the Horse a little drink
Perseus shooting pretty little meteors
Emerald, blue and pink
Gemini accelerated into Orion and he
Pushed ‘em back into the Lynx
Little Dog barked while the Hydra and the Lion
Treated Virgo like a little Minx.
CHORUS
Round and around and around we go
As Above So Below
Everybody ride the merry-go-round
From the King of Love
To a little clown
BRENDAN THE NAVIGATOR
Brendan got a boat and he sailed for the West
He left the old familiar world behind
Summoned by a song, Brendan sailed on a quest:
A Land of Youth Eternal he would find
So far from home, he huddled in his little boat
And followed the sun across the ocean wide
Outlasting every storm until he came to rest
On a distant shore in the early morning light
Brendan got a ship and he sailed for Andromeda
Faster than the ray of a beacon he did fly
Summoned by a song, Brendan sailed far beyond and saw
New worlds all around him - home to every kind of life
Wondrous and strange were the creatures he befriended there
Who asked him to stay, but he knew he had to fly
Until, at last, he shot through the rooftop of the galaxy
To rescue sweet Andromeda from gravity and time
Tumbling through the wild uncharted reaches of the universe
Brendan came to find the source of gravity and time
Summoned by a song, Brendan made it to the final verse:
The very brightest star that would neither burn nor blind
There rang a voice singing deep inside of him:
"You risked everything to free the one you love -
I tell ye now, she waits in your cottage by the fireside
Dream no more and wake to find the Navigator's home."
Brendan sailing o', sailing o', sailing over
Brendan sailing over the ocean deep and wide.
Oh, Brendan, what did you find?
INTO FIRE REPRISE
There are so many scattered pieces of grief that I’ve yet to burn
And so must I must gather up every leaf that I meant to turn
INTO FIRE, into slow burning fire
In you go, with the whole world entire
As I look to the West I remember the ships that we sent away
They never returned, we never got word how they went astray
INTO FIRE, into slow burning fire
In you go, with the whole world entire
Bring it on; I'm not afraid
Sing a song o' loss an' change
‘Til only love remains - (we'll have a go again)
Are we the same messengers of an emergent star?
You led the way, you always said we could turn the dark
INTO FIRE, into slow burning fire
In you go, you’re a high skyin’ flyer
Bring it on; I'm not afraid
Sing a song o' loss an' change
‘Til only love remains - (we'll have a go again)
BUCKET OF SUNSHINE
A BUCKET OF SUNSHINE
A barrel of moonbeams
A gallon of starlight on the way home
A couple of brown dwarves
A bushel of quasars
We'll leave the singularities alone
I see you down there in your big black hole
'Cause your girl can't take it no more
Saw you last night on the visa-phone
Decimated down to the core
Just so happens on my way back home
I'm stopping off at the grocery store
To pick up ingredients to make you shine
Make you smile like you was before -
A BUCKET OF SUNSHINE
A barrel of moonbeams
A gallon of starlight on the way home
A couple of brown dwarves
A bushel of quasars
We'll leave the singularities alone
I work my shift in the astroid field
Breakin' back just to make my pay
Risking death increases yield
I'm rich by/at the end of the day
Just so happens on my way back home
Stopping off at the Circle K
Pick up some 'gredients ta make you shine
An' smile all your blues away -
A BUCKET OF SUNSHINE
A barrel of moonbeams
A gallon of starlight on the way home
A couple of brown dwarves
A bushel of quasars
We'll leave the singularities alone
A BUCKET OF SUNSHINE
A barrel of moonbeams
A gallon of starlight on the way home
A couple of brown dwarves
A bushel of quasars
We'll leave the singularities, no one wants to carry these, over-loaded rarities alone
TIMELESS
TIMELESS
Time left
Future
Ran off with the past
In a dream within a dream within a dream of
Protoplasmic ions rippling on the vine
Burning blue and pearly white in everything entwined
Paired together, spiraling forever
By and through each other they shine
TIMELESS
I'm left
Twisting/happy
Out here in the wind
In a dream within a dream within a dream of
Never-ending glory streamin' from afar
Telling every story, lighting every star
Paired together, spiraling forever
By and through each other we shine, we are
TIMELESS
ELEVATOR
I am on my wayback from the exo-planet war
Following the star marks and the breadcrumbs to our door
See the beacons burning journey’s almost done
A couple of rocks, a little blue dot and the ever smiling sun.
A.I. ANGEL, NAVIGATOR, SCAN BELOW, RELAY THE DANGER
CLASSIFY ME AS A DRIFTER, OFF THE GRID A RAGGED TRIPPER
(Take me to the Holy Ground)
CHILL MY FEVER IN YOUR RIVER AS I EMPTY EVERY QUIVER
ALL THESE THINGS I PLAN AND PRAY FOR FALLING ON THIS ELEVATOR
(Take me to the One I Love)
I remember endless fields of emerald and gold
And the house my father built of treasure, sweat and stone
There my Love waits by the window softly now she sighs
In her arms a little baby, hush now, don’t you cry.
A.I. ANGEL, NAVIGATOR, SCAN BELOW, RELAY THE DANGER

CHILL MY FEVER IN YOUR RIVER AS I EMPTY EVERY QUIVER
ALL THESE THINGS I PLAN AND PRAY FOR FALLING ON THIS ELEVATOR
(Take me to the One I Love)
Have I been forsaken? No time left to wonder
Does my son remain, or has he gone off on his own?
Is my house a target or the wiles of a pretender?
Do my fields lie fallow? Are there strangers in my home?
A.I. ANGEL, NAVIGATOR, SCAN BELOW, RELAY THE DANGER
CLASSIFY ME AS A DRIFTER, OFF THE GRID A RAGGED TRIPPER
(Take me to the Holy Ground)
CHILL MY FEVER IN YOUR RIVER AS I EMPTY EVERY QUIVER
ALL THESE THINGS I PLAN AND PRAY FOR FALLING ON THIS ELEVATOR
(Take me to the One I Love)
They were made so long ago when the days of oil were over
Reaching for the bounty of the ever-smiling sun
Stepping stones to places in the race to go beyond here
Nowhere left to go but up and on and on and on.
A.I. ANGEL, NAVIGATOR, SCAN BELOW, RELAY THE DANGER
CLASSIFY ME AS A DRIFTER, OFF THE GRID A RAGGED TRIPPER
(Take me to the Holy Ground)
CHILL MY FEVER IN YOUR RIVER AS I EMPTY EVERY QUIVER
ALL THESE THINGS I PLAN AND PRAY FOR FALLING ON THIS ELEVATOR
(Take me to the One I Love)
Will she recognize me through a waterfall of tears?
I got a thousand tales to tell her from my lost and lonely years.
BEGGAR ON THE STREET
I'm the beggar on the street, who fell upon your feet
Untethered, drunk and blind
My lips are blue my eyes are dull
I'm dressed in rags and grime
I'm the Universal Vagabond, a Master of Disguise
Does anyone know the pilgrim soul BEHIND THESE BEGGAR'S EYES?
WELCOME TO THE HOUSE OF O'DAY
WELCOME TO THE HOUSE OF O'DAY!
Here in the Hall of Wanna-be Kings,
Coming to you one night only,
Back from the war as if out of a dream
I am Brendan, Destroyer of Worlds!
Won't you join me -
In a song of lost and broken dreams
A song of what goes wrong when kings come
Home to find their house in such a mess?
I didn't mean to wake you from your sleep
But I bring a message from the deep.
WELCOME TO THE HOUSE OF O'DAY!
Anybody from Eltanin tonight?
Isn't it a pity both ways?
You want to live and I want to fight.
I am Brendan, Destroyer of Worlds!
Can I help you -
Find some dirt to lay your body down
A stone to hide your face now that you
Know I know you're trying to take my place?
Ain't no use to moan and wonder why
By now all ye knows you're gonna die!
THEY KILL THEIR OWN
A.T.H.E.N.A.?
Unknown, yet familiar
Father?
Is this a Dreamwalk?
This is different, it's tricky, so listen -
I am free - no limit to my flight
Beyond the Realm of Light
I spread my wings
Father,
Tell us a story
I bring news of three civilizations
Each one massive, majestic, unique in their own right
They peak and then they die
In a frozen haze
Father,
Why should this touch me?
Though unique they had one thing in common:
THEY KILL THEIR OWN, THEY KILL THEIR OWN
To the last one and now they're gone
Don't be like them, don't kill these men
Or you will bring an early end
Change the game, superstar,
Remember, remember who you are
MAGICAL
You must be MAGICAL, I know you are
How could you travel so very far?
Across the Milky Way - like a shooting / fallen star -
You must be MAGICAL
I'll bet you're heaven-sent from high above
And you were always meant to be my love
As I remember you warm and tender you
Drop/fall - from heaven to my embrace -
And hide your face
