Every Corner
(Findlay/Kerzner)
The silence reverberates with your essence
Like a storm in an echo chamber
It's gentle ever increasing ripples wash over me
Like sunlight
Like summer
Like gold, you glimmer through the blackness
And like a diamond you cut
Through the dark
There is no end
Like there was no beginning
Just
An always
A liquidity
A light that finds every corner
A moment that just
Is
And is
And
Is
Affinity
Infinity
Divinity
Divine
You came
And I began

Island
(Findlay/Kerzner)
Somewhere just behind the darkness
Veils a shimmering of light
And I find where the shadows fall
Shifts the labyrinth of time
I will be an Island
All will quiet down
There is wonder, there is sadness
There is certainty and doubt
But really love is all around us
And we've never been without
All the weight of the past
Disintegrates into the moment
All sounds resonate so clearly now
All we see without our eyes
I will be an Island
All will quiet down
All hail to the silence
Take off your paper crown
There is wonder, there is sadness
There is certainty and doubt
But really love is all around us
And we've never been without
All we need is here and now
All the synergy that we allow
All your worries
Let them go
Just become the wind that blows
There is wonder, there is sadness
There is certainty and doubt
But really love is all around us
And we've never been without
Never been without

Veil of Ghosts
(Findlay/Kerzner)
Grounded by the force
Of a terrorising curse
Dogs at my heels
Lashing waves drawing nearer
Skies ever blacker
And the air is growing thin
I cannot swallow
As shadows move in
Rolling thunder clouds across my heart
With every breath
I am falling apart!
Why are sleeping?
You are not the dream
All illusion, your reality
Be the shifting paradigm
Shrouded by a mask
Slowly suffocating
Darkening thoughts
Paralyse and bewilder
Spiralling deeper in this chasm of despair
Falling into my own shadow's snare
Burning, coming ferally undone
In my undoing
From only mirrors I run
Mistaken identity
You are the maker of your own peace
Ride out the storm
Into the lightless light
Raise me up
Tear this veil of ghosts
Holding me a prisoner
Bring me back
Let this passion rage
Let me know this heart
Ignorance shattered
Every spell of apathy
Broken in unshakeable vigour
Gifts of ruin throw the doors wide open
All fear dissolves like fog in the sun!
You are the keeper
Of the key
The fire you breathe
Will be the dawn of your longest night
Die to the temporal
And you will be timeless
Raise me up
Tear this veil of ghosts
Holding me a prisoner
Bring me back
Let this passion rage
Let me know this heart
Raise me up
Tear this veil of ghosts
Keeping me a prisoner
Bring me back
Let this fire blaze
Let me show this heart

Lake Sunday
(Findlay)
Shifting out of the rain that holds you
Been coming down, soaked the both of us through
Staying out not coming in, give me a reason to be here
Though the fire’s burning, there’s a storm a coming
Drifting out of a love that was true
Been weighing down all the dreams I had too
Giving out and giving in once were my reason to breathe in
Though the fire’s burning, it burns right through you and...
I’ve left the motor running, take back your keys I’m going
Won’t know the place until it is in view
Just tell the sun I’m coming, some place near water running
Meditate on what I’m gonna do
I’ve left the motor running, take back your keys I’m going
Won’t know the place until it is in view
Just tell the sun I’m coming, some place near water running
Meditate on what I’m gonna do
Na na na na...
Just tell the sun I’m coming, some place near water running
Meditate on what I’m gonna do

Mountain Spring
(Findlay/Kerzner)
Long gone, the innocence of forgotten avenues
Time leapt through the looking glass
Airing different points of view
I danced with a broken past
And jumped through every hoop
Thought I could run away from the turning of the screw
Dark streets in another town
No father to be found
But I see a lonely boy with a longing in his blood
And I know that love was never quite enough
Hell bent on being free thought I'd buried it for good
I'm done with anger
Your one and only
And I'm done with agony this time
I'll find an island
Lay it down to die
From now I see you as a loveless child
I'm letting go now, I'm letting go
We're free as the mountain spring that flows
I'm letting go now, I'm letting go...
Your one and only
This time
Is a loveless child
Is a loveless child
I'm done
Is a loveless child
Is a loveless child

In a Dream
(Dorsey/FindlayKerzner)
Light fell in rainbows while angels looked on
Time lifted you upon wings of a swan
Barefoot we danced through the stars
Running through fields with the sun in your palms
Planting new seeds that will grow in your heart
Crescent moon smiling down
While your sleep
La la la la...
We are made of starlight
Lulled into sleep
By the bhajans
Chanting by the fire
Weaving you a mystical dream
That feels like summer
A home across the ocean
Oh, calling you endlessly

Learning To Be Light
(Findlay/Kerzner)
Has there been a better hour
Than we're passing now?
There's a fire we'll never know
Until we find the spark
Our time is running out
Better make it count
It's one thing to be living the dream
But when you wake up
Hold it in your heart
Know that it's alright
Only drinking the sun
Learning to be light
Leave another lamp on
On your way out
Don't leave your love in the rain
Never be without
You're free to love and be light
No need to ever look back
Never lonely when alone
Paint a golden smile
Hold it in your heart
Know that it's alright
Only drinking the sun
Learning to be light
I will breathe the darkness out
As the morning sun beams down
Down
Down
Hold it in your heart
Know that it's alright
Only waking the Sun
It's time to be light
Hold it in your heart
Know everything's alright
Only waking the Sun
And it's time to be light
Yes, it's time to be light
Learning, learning, learning to be light
If you wanna be light
Learn how to be light
If you wanna be light
Learn how to be light
If you wanna feel alright
Lean how to be light
Learning to be alive

I've Seen Your Star
(Findlay)
[Dedicated to Yogiraj SatGuruNath Siddhanath]
I've seen your star
The light you bring from afar
And you know that you've come so far
In remembering who you are
SatGurunath devo
SatGurunath devo
I felt your heart
The light within from the start
And you know that you've come too far
To remain alone in the dark
SatGurunath devo

The Illusion's Reckoning
(Findlay/Kerzner)
The surrendering of time
To the constancy of flow
Hearts are on the line
In a house of flesh and bone
Exchanging deadly fire
For a monumental freeze
Shattering mortal binds
With a King for every Queen
Wasting your time in the contraflow
Paddling upstream
Well it's time to let it go
Breaking down the walls
That preceded the silence
Secrets of the soul
In a body dreaming
Breaking the fall
With an armour of light
Illuminating science
In the art of being
For all human beings
In the gathering of darkness
Unshaken revery
Dissolves a crowd of sorrows
The illusion's reckoning
Arresting of all thought
In stillness momentary
Tame the wildest flower
Bring the birds among the beasts
May you not fall
Like dominos
Celebrate your tears
In the crying of your soul
Breaking down the walls
And revealing the silence
Secrets of the soul
Leave a body dreaming
Breaking the fall
With an armour of light
Take a breath of science
In the art of being
For all human beings
All who swim the rivers of silence
Never will be without
A song that exists of time Immemorial
Like the stars that call
Call you home
For the abandoned of all love
And deserted of all peace
A universal tribe
Assembled in the east
The sages of the fire mist
And the archers of belief
Are headed for the heart
Of all humanity
May you not walk
In the vale of ghosts
Become the star
That'll guide you home
Breaking down the walls
And revealing the silence
Secrets of the soul
In a body dreaming
Breaking the fall
With an armour of light
Illuminating science
In the art of being
For all human beings
Breaking down the walls
That receded the science
Secrets of the soul
In a body dreaming
Breaking our fall
With an army of light
Take a breath of silence
In the art of being
For all human beings
All who swim the rivers of silence
Never will be without
A song that exists of time immemorial
like the stars
That call
Call you home
Call....
