The rain fell suddenly, and the mist rose from the water's sleep Lost in the woods I seek, a place of rest and harmony A voice pierced through the sound, of the rain drops covering the ground A soaring figure appeared and caught my eye by it's beauty Step after step the voice became melody Enveloping my mind thoughts lose their clarity Ah...I've seen this all before in a dream a long time ago Do my memories poison what I see? Or have I finally met my destiny? Come to me she said as her hand reached out Frightened and confused I gather my strength and move on Down the rabbit hole I've fallen I am trapped in a maze Suspended time In Limbo Overwhelming conscious haze Facing eternity You are the one that I've been calling Listen and see where we are going You and I will rise above and see, what lies beyond the crystal gate You and I will leave this place behind, embracing the path to the other side Why did you choose me while millions populate the earth? I'm but a simple man searching for peace in this land Unknown is my path I've never found my place of rest Guided by instinct I follow no one and find my own way Tell me why I should follow you, trust in you Give me a reason to let go, I need to know I've been watching for some time in the shade From now your life will never be the same again Moon light filled the misty air Heartbeats echoed as thunder Cold sweat sliding down my face We are gone without a trace Soaring ever higher, we breached the sky Into the abyss of eternal night A light emerged from the breath-taking darkness A beacon of hope in a colorless sea The sparkle turned flame and within it resides Another dimension that defies our time The vast gates opened as stone torn apart By the restless crushing of a waterfall I can't hide from this light As it shines So divine We spanned with haste the doors That brought us to our fate Time seemed to slip away falling in the deep Unknown, a tunnel that may lead us nowhere I'm scared Sucked into the flow of a cosmic wormhole I finally let go, losing all control Farewell I said as I thought my time Had come to an end but my journey had just begun

Dreaming of home Feeling alone Hiding my fear Judgment is near Falling stars passed us by and disappeared in the black Lines left still randomly spreading as wild fire Wishing it all had been with purpose A blessing could rapidly turn to curse I had yet to know where Ignorant This tunnel was heading for I felt so helpless, helpless A grand hall awaits those who've passed the gate Here a crowd unites made of departed souls Beyond my sight Countless they abide They must face the one that will send them to A place far and new the cycle of life starts over As it was in the woods her soft words calmed me Friend don't you weep Just stay with me a while All that you see Is not for now The Fall, keep me safe within these Walls, safe within your arms I fall, as leaves carried by the wind I don't know where I'll meet my end I am among the dead disguised as one of them My resting place lies ahead, an engulfing grave Cradle of life, spring of healing waters Circling time, the passed on revived, divine wisdom follows The Fall, keep me safe within these Walls, safe within your arms I fall, as leaves carried by the wind I don't know where I'll meet my end The glass prison is about to break From this black nightmare I'm about to wake Sinking in the sands of time, I hold my breath and close my eyes The tolling of the bells bring fright, from the deepest part of my mind I unleash fury, power and flames that burn and break this invisible cage Reality crumbles to the ground Twisted hands turn up above Counting down from twelve to one The clock strikes midnight, my time has come. Ah, come and take me now Ah, stay by my side The dreamsize puzzle ends its wake And brings the pieces back in place Rising from the dark a window Opens wide showing us the way to go

Staring into heaven's eye Enlightened by its aura It contains all the images Of the universe We touch ground in this virgin land and gaze at the horizon The sun sheds light over flower heads Illuminating pearl The eye of inner sight Weeps for the blind transcends my mind She said the red sky reveals Constellations in cosmic alignment We are at a vantage point The heart of the mandala Take this time to meditate Open your spirit to change A rare surrounding state of grace Fills my cup, under the watchful Eye of inner sight Weeps for the blind transcends my mind We are in the hand Of the great Architect He designs and builds wonders Pyramids and labyrinths Walls are caving in Mapped by his grand design From inside these walls The view is narrow and confused From higher above One discovers supreme order This imprisonment will be my freedom This haze will become clarity We become one Divine wisdom The smallest dot The deepest thought A seed As the starting point The source Of all The center Of creation New life Hidden purity Lost in a crater of silence In a sea of tranquility Rolling on the shores of entropy And, beyond, the intelligence of the stars A chill Emanating from my Shadow The side unseen Numb Paralyzed soul Desolation mirrored Celestial Intoxication Vaporous Fantasies The circle Without blemish Draws me from reality Lord of ecstasy Reigns over ethereal inspiration Guards the ancient secrets Of death and regeneration Spiral moving energies vitalize The quintessence of my devoted soul I burst out of the egg in a primal scene Reborn and spirit renewed I sit at the olden table Between gods and kings In the crystalline temple I feast on the finest foods I breathe now like I've never done before Inhaling knowledge, my brain is an open door Metamorphosis complete by total immersion I've come back from heaven where ancestral heroes dwell My spirit's released By the shadow of the black river Incorruptible state of mind Moving towards wholeness Critical transition As I wear the transformation mask Continuity in rebirth The goal is the art

Easy for you to say  suffer Easy for you to say hide Easy for you to go to the place Where no one can hurt you inside The emptyness grows from my eyes It tells of my demise I've lost all faith in me Dought invades me Ruin precedes me Look upon my eyes I am the mirror that reveals the secrets of the past The unsaid words and why your suffering will last Easy for you to show nothing To pretend to no longer care Easy for you to remember the past And regret what is no longer there Master of time I plead for your guidance To become someone wise I bleed my soul cannot take it any longer Release me Caged, deliver me Look upon my eyes And gaze at my might I am the mirror that reveals the secrets of the past The hidden truths that are buried neath the surface The image of the divine that falls into deception The unsaid words and why your suffering will last This cold dark memory haunts your nights and fills your dreams Obscure whispers echo from the ground They tell you listen and you may find out That I feed on the flame that burns inside Consuming those dreams and steeling your light Look at me Encounter yourself I reflect what you refuse to see Yes I understand You were always there Surrounding me but I did not care Flow like a river Take whatever brings me down so I can carry on Look upon my eyes And gaze at my might I am the mirror that reveals the secrets of the past The hidden truths that are buried neath the surface The image of the divine that falls into deception The unsaid words and why your suffering will last Over and over it will never end Twisting and turning around in my head How deception truth and words left unsaid come down as one in the mirror's revelation

Eclipse 15:49
Born from inside the core, an emblem Of warmth breaths into my dreams A shadow The realm made of liquid light still hides Behind the demon of the sky Eternal Cold night, waiting for a sign Revealed under the moonlight Frost bite slowly entering My skin peals as I give in I am an ancient prophet I see the cosmic mysteries They called for me when darkness struck at the midst of the day The bitter fools, they could not see how they lost their way Asking why all seemed to fade They fall to their knees and ask for grace I seize the opportunity To lift this curse and by all be seen Knowing how the stars were made by the one all call wise My hands reach up to the sky and tremble as mountains fall As the last beam of light failed to touch the ground The ancient one spoke in a frightening roar Defying the skies, defying mankind His tongue as a lightning bolt The absence of light, a sign of his will Hidden death within his eyes The Master of Time He spoke to me in simple words as one wise Come and walk with me until your eyes Begin to see with clarity the secrets Of Life turned to tragedy A lament The Master’s eyes reach inside and pull me under I now begin to see All that I had is lost Find a reason for the pain Rise beyond your broken heart I’m falling down Time’s running out My mind’s caving in, gone with total darkness ----- Dropped in sea of solitude A desert meadow I cannot see locked down below I dove into the unknown My dying soul echoes beyond this frozen shadow Drawn to the sound of a voice I heard before I know where this road goes A field of sorrow that I've made my own The earth has swallowed all trace of light The sky is fading Beyond this reflective eye The stars awake I'm one with the ghost of mirrored failure A bleak persistence Deceptive reality shapes this tainted scene Still life paves this horrific dream Guide me across the flowing river of transmigration With the lotus my soul will find the way Acquaint me with eternity Invisible realms of intimacy The earth has swallowed all trace of light The sky is fading Beyond this reflective eye The stars awake Only seconds of total night The winds are changing Promised birth where shadows died I will drink from the fountain Drink and embrace this state of ecstasy A spiral of peace expands your understanding I'm dwelling in its eye, where energies unite Preserved from the storm of unbalanced duality Drink Embrace Dwell Hear Wake Rise To the call I've heard the sacred call And from a lifetime of sleep, I've awaken I've ascended the coiled hall Into celestial chambers made of ice and stone I will rise and not be the same For I am found within the wheel of perpetual change The eclipse has revealed my inner shades Will this lifted shadow free my shackled brain?
