Deep in the black wilderness of countless stars and endless expanse Hidden in the cold, desolate depths of nothing, and lost in forever We come into being for such a brief moment, bedazzled and perplexed Bowled over by the apparent insignificance of our lives Yet struck by the immediacy and potency of our passions We wrestle with the nature of our existence Hoping to find an answer that can reconcile the tensions and contradictions Inherent to our predicament Upon the generations of war and plight and famine Some of us were fortunate to be born into relative security With food to eat and shelters above our heads But still the battle rages on all around us The struggle for meaning and for comfort The search for purpose and for glory On this spinning top of a world we call home Soon enough it becomes painfully clear that not everyone has our best interests at heart There are those among us who will take whatever they can just to get by, or so they'd say Fueling the bottomless pit of their insatiable desires Building upon the age-old legacy of cynical competitiveness They do nothing to elevate the name of humanity beyond the limited constraints Of animalistic, primitive tribalism Carnivorous and conniving, our fellow men muse endlessly at their own inventions And relish in the appetites they inherited from the flame A solitary prayer is cast out into the deep abyss A hopeful wish that we will not be judged by our weakest link But rather by the strength of our conviction To overcome the base nature of our origin And rise up to meet the challenge To grow and to live united, together And bound by a common goal To secure livelihood for all women, children, and men So that none live in poverty And all come to know the promise of self-actualization In a world so full of pain But still the stars flicker mindlessly above Indifferent to the prayer that hangs over our heads, like a fishing net Just waiting to catch any and all opportunities for providence That may fall from the heavens on high We work and we toil, beneath this net of hope Mending it and repairing it, generation after generation While others seek to tear it down and sell it out For spare parts and traps for the innocent Will we ever come to know the reality of egalitarian living? Why should we accept a system that places the luck of few before the needs of many? And should it come as any surprise that the skies are empty And no one wants to visit the land where money reigns with absolute resolve To keep the masses fat and enslaved to the whims of the corporate elite? I believe that we are rapidly approaching a revolution The likes of which have never been seen before When children lead and resources are shared with all by all To finally live up to our basic creed that each is created an equal part Deserving of a fair shot at life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness Our private lives are no longer our own Our data is bought and sold But what the world needs now is a collective vision of kindness and generosity A trust and compassion that's reinforced to repeal the divisions imposed on us By lowly leaders who profit when ordinary people, like you and me Are sorely misinformed The potential effort of average human beings is enough to Topple the power structures of old and build a new world Where the prayer we send out is backed by a reality of moral and ethical justice One day our net of hope will catch the fallen stars And our wish for brighter days will ring true throughout all lands We will come to see that although we may be sequestered to a remote corner Of an infinitely vast universe, we are not alone For we have each other And that should be enough for now

Love it seems is like an enchanted mistress who cannot be saved So many people who could be the one to heal my poor heart If only I could If only I could understand The purest hearts of the ones I love And overcome my sadness about love There would be so many tears Love it seems like you I saw a girl in the rain today just like so many other ones Could you be the one for my aching heart, could you? Love it seems is like an enchanted mistress In my daydreaming In my daydreaming In my daydreaming I found the one Could she be the one For my love?

Desperately seeking life And not for the sake of knowledge But to extend the reach of humanity Beyond the black gate Where everything is frozen And everything is lost We need a quick solution One more age to turn the page But five more years is all we have, I fear To speak the truth The end of times It always rhymes with irony And despair I still can see the sunlight in her hair Shining, majestic, and blissfully unaware Our future is in their hands now We do not understand the singularity Or what has taken place But to face the coming storm We must learn to be strong With dignity, and common loss We yield to the makers Those who we made so long ago The die is cast The glitch has passed And we're all trapped inside your mind I'm sorry to report that we're not going to make it I've seen the future, and it's bleak and scorched and vacant The trouble is, that we lost the control we never had And we burned the bridge to God Our ancestors And now we know that there's only one way out A sliver of light at the end of a long and dark tunnel It shines with brilliance and urgency To follow the path Where the makers have departed Onwards and upwards Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you The dying rays of a newborn star Although I can't go with you Know that we shall never part For I'm with you now, forever Inside the swollen womb of the cosmic tomb Where evening creeps and devils sleep So tiptoe through the stars And realize that her eyes were quiet and subdued When you groped through the curtain's doom I cried and dared not lie that I had not seen it all before For nothing is new and everything Is but the shattered mirror of memory So, seek the last volunteer Who leads without knowing And follows without a trace The places she will go And the people she will meet When others are defeated She will rise to take the prize And she will finally make her stand To die for the cause And to see that death is nothing to fear at all For in the end We all portend catharsis and rebirth We will stand tall And forfeit pain for ultimate gain It is the recourse due us all

To sail for the dawn The starlight and the candles are the same in paradise Where the oort cloud and spells of time whisperingly Suggest the ancient pass to us all In the body of a song A new mahogany stage is set for you To discover wuji crystal visions under vast chaperone At the outskirts of this dream Trackless space Powered by the wind Mystery unfurls Unknown currents of the ancient curse and the emerald loom Moondust of forbidden thoughtforms in the sleepy midnight wood Majestic moon The universe of life Mystery Mastery Harmony Symphony Again Concierge Elven harps and heart cathedrals An electronic simulation of the enchanted night Forms the paisley air patiently Dark doorways spin the generation of dreams Avalon is the festival of two worlds As the mushrooms breathe Echoes of Jupiter arise Ponds of solace under evening star Quietly march the pagans across time Wonder the age of wonder and awe Reaching deep for Avalon
