The Pauper

Another night where I
Try to flee these pain filled eyes
A red man stands by my side
he says "Son, don't you know I could make you fly?
Lean a little closer and I'll tell you a secret
Let us make a deal now you can take it or leave it
Well, I only ask for your heart and your soul."
I hear you whisper like a thief in the dark
The pauper can't steal our light
When hope guides our heart
(Can't steal our love, can't steal our light)
Break down on the bench outside
Friendy to the left they can tell I'm fried
Runnin' round the bright casino floor
Mascara face behind the bathroom door
Oh, lookie lookie here I have an empty temptation
Falling up the stairs the signal surely she's wasted
But I can't say no when this feels oh so right
(Is this the story of my life again?)
I hear you whisper like a thief in the dark
The pauper can't steal our light
When hope guards our heart
(Can't steal our love, can't steal our light)
I hear your whisper like a thief in the dark
The pauper can't steal true light
Faith guides our heart
(You can't steal our love, you can't steal our light)
You were so lost
You were so fucking lost
And now that the love is gone
I'll search through all its ruins
And I'll try to dig it out again, I'll try
Oh, I'll try to find my way back home, tonight
And now that your love is gone
Search through all its ruins
To try to dig it out again, I'll try
I'll try to find my way back home, tonight
I hear you whisper like a thief in the dark
The pauper can't steal our light
When hope guides our heart
(You can't steal our love, you can't steal our light)
I hear your whisper like a thief in the dark
The pauper can't steal our light
If hope guards our heart
(Can't steal our love, can't steal our light)

My Love

My love,
This here is truth exploding into the sound
My love,
is where the faithful and the righteous surround
See when the hour strikes numb
If you don't sleep at night
I will reach into your bones
And set the aura aflame
Just like a phoenix from grave
Into a world where paradox is unknown
The Sun will come up
You will be one apart from me
Through darkness and light
I shall return your body into me
No fear nor unborn dream
To stand between, no
A new age will dawn
Uncharted air to swirl within the space
Lightning may strike
We declare to manifest its grace
And be where we may see
In this time on stage
My love,
Tomorrow is here
This is the part
Will you paint something more for me?
Thrown down the path
But now we're learning to break free
Your love,
My love
See when the hour strikes numb
If you don't sleep at night
I will reach into your bones
And set the aura aflame
Just like a phoenix from grave
Into a world where paradox is unknown
The Sun will come up
And you will be one apart from me
Darkness and light
Shall return your body into me
No fear nor unborn dream
To stand between, no
A new age will dawn
Uncharted air to swirl within the space
Lightning may strike
But we declare to manifest its grace
And be where we may see
In this time on stage
My love,
Tomorrow is here
It is here
You are here
I am here
With time, for to think
Through this song
(My nights are so long)
Clock melt from sound
You I will hold,
My life has begun
(My nights are so long)
With time, now to think
Through this song
Emerge now, as one
It's you I will hold, as
My life has begun

Flying Kites

In the mist beyond the road
I shall come and guide you home
Never seen the moon so low
Divine those darkest days
For within our light was shown
Let it shine so...
Vibration called my name
& in the frequency she came, yeah
As a shooting star
Caught amuck among the rain
Your love is gonna be retained
Let it shine so
Brightly as we'd merge again
I would not let you go this time
I wanted you here by my side
Forever, and for always
Steady on that altar now
Watch you glow, dancing down
You and I, alone from the crowd
Good God, receive these vows
When I'm sleeping all through the night, now
Sending signs and a message on a flown kite
Gently sailing, seeking doves in flight, well
I keep fighting with the wind but you won't bite
No I'll never have the strength it takes
Just to stand outside your door
I'd be knocking 'til our love may bloom
And burn forever more
In the mist beyond the road
Would you come and guide me home?
Let it shine so
Brightly as we'd merge again
I will not let you go this time
I want you here by my side
Forever, and for always
Steady on that altar now
Watch you glow dancing down
You and I, alone from the crowd
Good God, receive these vows
