Splendor Solis Lyrics The River [Single] Sailing down, down the Styx again Without you my love, I want to return but then I see all my friends, they want me to join but then They all melt away, without you alone And the river's running through my veins Lately she don't seem the same And the blood keeps calling out my name I pass by the sins, left by a different man The tides brought them here Cast by a different hand And the wisps of the winds Blow with the Styx again Pushing me on, without you alone My will must be strong, to rise with a different life My will must be long, I'm still pushing for different heights And the wisps of the winds Blow down the Styx again The river runs red And I'm left alone Midsummer Day [Radio Single] When you've decided to hold on to all that you've lost All this is nothing if she comes and tears you apart All this is nothing if you hold the key to her heart If you've decided to change what you thought was your way This new way will take you to her and to midsummer day All this is nothing if she comes and tears you apart All this is nothing if you hold the key to her heart And I'm crying in the night I'm waiting for her call Will you help me girl tonight I'm waiting for her call And I'm crying in the night While she's flowing from my mind And the sky is turning black And I'm running out of time You'll shed a last tear if you miss your road on the way This new way will take you to her and to midsummer day All this is nothing if she comes and tears you apart All this is nothing if you hold the key to her heart All you are is in you A Certain Slant of Light [Single] As the colours fade away my love As the darkness turns to day above Celebrate the one you love And she says she has a friend inside Who shows her everything she tries to hide Please stop the pain inside She don't know Please stop her pain I think she's coming down again I hear the rain She's coming down again I hear the rain And she's dancing with the hands of fate While she's sleeping with the on she hates And tonight they celebrate Winter Solstice (Instrumental) Save Me [Radio Single] I must leave you tonight my love Remain so faithfully I must go off to war my dear The kings await me I will go so far away I will always love you But you knew I regret to tell you Your man has died tonight He was a brave man He fought a brave fight He was killed by the other side He was killed by the other men's knives She said save me Why must you love this man He is your brother This is easy to understand my son There is no other I cannot pretend to love this man Like my father I cannot pretend Mother there is no other When there is no truth Let's end this lie tonight This is easy to understand Without your best fight But I see a new sun Rising in the east She said save me Save you Sun Going Down (I woke up this morning Someone was knocking at my door And I said hello sweet Satan I believe it's time to go) Thirteenth apostle knocking at my door Telling me that I can't play with you no more I guess the wages of sin now couldn't buy my meals Screaming out your name babe, how does that feel Feeling through the outdoor all throughout the night Waiting for the doctor to come and make me right Feeling from the bedside, I've lost all appeal To stay with you baby Baby how does that, baby how does that feel? Sun's going down Sing throughout the streets babe And you sing throughout the night You go and tell the people People my soul is aflight I guess the wages of sin now, yeah they couldn't buy my meals I'm screaming out your name baby, how does that feel (it feels good) Thirteenth apostle knocking at my door Telling me that I can't, I can't play with you no more I guess the wages of sin now, they couldn't buy my meals I'm screaming out your name girl, baby how does that Now honey how does that feel Sun's going down Looked at the heavens above and I said a little prayer As if the heavens above would even care I said "Jesus, won't you meet me in the middle of the air?" I think my wings are falling below, Jesus, I need another pair Jesus won't you meet me in the middle of the air I think my wings are falling below I need another pair St. Peter at the gates of heaven-baby won't you let me in, let me in St. Peter at the gates of heaven-honey won't you let me in, let me in I said now Peter, listen Peter, come on Peter Won't you let me in! Right now! Yeah the sun was going down. In This Time [Aust. Radio Single] Hey lady looks like I'm under your spell once again Hey lady there just now ain't no denying these things I will always be here I will always be with you And I know she's said Let the leaves fall wherever they may But I find it hard Hard to find people like she is today I will always be here I will always be with you When you lay to sleep Tell me the visions you see in the night When you turn around What kind of shadow is cast by the light She will always be here She will always be with you In this time Dreams of Reason Oh how the paths change When the wisdom fades away Something's going to change these times And we'll watch them fade away Never going to get it back And that's what they say When I've promised to change my ways And we've all had these days I can feel her In the insides of these rooms Something's going to change these times And we'll watch them fade away I really need your love I've got to have all your love It's cold outside I'm trying to hide I really need your love Raven Skies I am walking on To the place of the light And the things I see With the starlight sight In the dance of the fires In the flames I see Under raven skies She will sleep with me And I need her now And I need you Welcome to my garden And what do you see Welcome to my garden Do you still see me I am looking through Through the dance of the trees I experience What a Shaman sees I've returned within I've returned with sight Under raven skies I will sleep tonight Haze On the Hills (Instrumental) The Majestic Song With a thought You could change what you've never really known With a lie You can take from the love they never showed Come along Come along now it's not too far away And the streams They are running to an ocean that is dry And the sands Of the ocean are the prophets in the eye Of the sage Who has chosen to forfeit all he knows I know And you know now that somethings never change In a world that seems bound by human pain Come along now it's not too far away I know And beyond You will see how the ever changing glow It surrounds All the feelings you never thought you'd know Come along Come along now it's not too far away I know the edges of twilight Fire in the Head [Single] You stay Silent, knowing, always in time See how this love stays divine Sleep here Hoping, knowing, always in time See how this love stays divine And I'm waiting When I return to her I find I'm waiting Flowers of evil in my mind And I'm waiting Dancing with fire on the edge I'm waiting Remembering all of what she said And I'm waiting Hoping the rains will wash away I'm waiting Hoping a guide will show the way And I'm waiting Dancing with fire on the edge I'm waiting Remembering all of what she said With this fire in the head The Bazaar [Radio Single] Silence swimming in a pool of dreams Beneath its depths the forgotten streams Above, the city of the evening star Behind its walls, the grand bazaar As she walks through its endless maze Cursing those who mistrust her ways Please my friend no matter what she sees Tell my lover come back to me Doorways spilling out their somber light Casting shadows that will raid the night Along the alleys of her ruling fears Walk the visions that will cause her tears Lying still as she wills her glance Through the eyes of a charmer's trance Please my friend no matter what she sees Tell my lover come back to me And on the walls Shadows play Twilight souls Anguished ways Lost adrift Severed seas I await you Come to me Correspondences Hope springs to life Charmed by approaching listlessness Hands reaching out To grasp the open emptiness Leading me down.... And this goodbye Faced with hope and countenance Souls slip away To bask in glowing radiance Leading me down.... As we run from the sun And we harbour the lies And we leave things undone As we cover our eyes Does it tear you apart my love Does it tear you apart my love It tears me apart Charmed by this light This sombre guidance in her eyes Rage would entice And final moments would arise Leading me down... Does it tear you apart my love Does it tear you apart my love It tears me apart The Badger (Instrumental) Silence Silent spirit walks before me With her beauty and with her eyes Heaven help me I feel I'm fading I should rest here For a while In the dreamtime I'm awakened As my senses seize the night Heaven help me I'm forsaken I should rest here For a while And lie in the bed you've made ophelia Dry are the lips that lost their taste of love Drown in the waters that would give you life Cry as this lamentation thrusts its knife In silence In silence SILENCE Sister Awake [Radio Single] When the winter was over She returned there to find him And her memories filled her with light She remembered the beauty She remembered desires And her memories filled her with light I am the sun in the flame Cold from the flame turns away And in these winds came a change She awakes... Sister walk through these fields of delight But I want you to know Desperation's the tenderest trap So gently you go What will it take Sister awake When this beautiful cult of desire Has left you for dead Isolation will cradle the lies Of things left unsaid What will it take Sister awake And you'll look to the heavens above And taste it's deceit These temptations have blinded desires To sleep at their feet What will it take Sister awake And you'll hear them call out your name Invoking the fates Chances are you've travelled too far In stirring their hate What will it take Sister awake Awake Turn the Lamp Down Low Turn the lamp down low Shelter me Turn the lamp down low Rising up to see Please don't go Do you feel the flame that's burning As the candle dies Do you see the spirits stirring As you close your eyes Do you sense the slow advancement As the twilight thins Do you see the serpent dancing As it sheds its skin Turn the lamp down low Please don't go Does the sun renounce it's kingdom As the shadows fall Does a fool rejoice in wisdom When the raven calls Do you embrace the dancing clayman As he tears your flesh Do you hear the souls screaming In the serpent's mesh Turn the lamp down low Please don't go Do you need the consolation Of a dead man's hand As the tears of desolation Flood a dead man's land Do you seek your soul's redemption Under fervent skies Don't you see your own reflection In the serpent's eye Shadows on the Mountainside [Aust. Radio Single] We are spirits passing through the doors of time With an invitation heard before we find Shadows on the mountainside Eagles find the souls they hide And the outcast child enchanted by the sun Will he seek his shelter never knowing one Shadows on the mountainside Eagles find the souls they hide Shadows on the mountainside Cover me with sleep Because I need it now And the red rivers flow to seas And she will return to me And then all that I am is in her hands And I will return to her and then I begin Drawing Down the Moon Holding on Once again Take the time to look around Is it all in vain Can't you see Stay with me I need you now To stop the rains But you want to know how it feels Until you have felt the same Stay with me Can't you see Don't let me down Stay with me Don't leave me now Stay with me When darkness descends it's all you see Don't let me down Stay with me She's drawing down the moon I can see it in her eyes I think it's too soon I think she's going to cry She's drawing down the moon I think it's too soon Can't she hear me when I say Don't let me down Stay with me Don't leave me now Stay with me When darkness descends it's all you see Don't let me down Stay with me Inanna [U.K Radio Single] Over the skies and sea my love Over the sky and sea Riding the crest of winds above Bringing her back to me Into the starlit sea my love Into the moonlit sea Riding the crest of winds above I'm begging you stay with me Would you walk ten miles with me my love Would you walk the skies with me Would you walk ten miles with me my love Inanna Coming Home When frightened by change Serenity clings to my sleep And wonders remain Their world will inherit it's meek And wicked's the taste You feel when the mysteries arise I've fallen from grace Because of her treacherous eyes You don't know So alone I'm coming home And beauty's disdain Attends to these virtuous lies She tries to restrain The ardent and amorous eyes And wicked's the taste You feel when mysteries arise I've fallen from grace Because of her treacherous eyes You don't know So alone I'm coming home Walk With Me Tell me lady, shining sun To feel the warmth that's come undone Do you sleep in sympathy And if it's true Walk with me All of the while you were here All of the while you were near In the twilight the idols speak And in the twilight you'll always seek A sentimental forgotten friend Who will always love you Until the end All of the while you were here All of the while you were near And now you search for the ideals You'll find a vice that always heals The open wounds, the bleeding hearts Yet still they'll say You're torn apart All of the while you were here All of the while you were near Come on lady walk with me Come on lady talk with me Can't you see I'm all alone This loneliness I can't condone Come on lady hold my hand Take me to your shadowland Sleep awhile in sympathy Come on lady walk with me The Edges of Twilight (hidden track) As you draw near I hear the mutter of the worried earth The joyous girl, the crystal clear Deliver us of our poor hearts from naked fear As you draw near As you draw near I feel the goddess, her celestial birth The fullness of a love so real The twilight of the god in me glows in my tear As we draw near
