The Revealing Science of God (Dance of the Dawn)
(Anderson — Howe — Squire — Wakeman — White)
Dawn of light lying between a silence and solid sources, Chased amid fusions of wonder, in moments hardly seen forgotten, Coloured in pastures of chance dancing leaves cast spells of challenge, Amused but real in thought, we fled from the sea whole. Dawn of thought transfered through moments of days undersea arching earth Revelaing corridors of time provoking memories, disjointed but with purpose, Craving penetrations offer links with the self instructors sharp And tender love as we took to the air, a picture of distance. Dawn of our power we amuse redescending as fast as misused Expression, as only to teach love as to reveal passion chasing Late into corners, and we danced from the ocean. Dawn of love sent within us colours of awakening among the many Won't to follow, only tunes of a different age, as the links span Our endless caresses for the freedom of life everlasting. Talk to the sunlight caller Soft summer mover distance mine Called out a tune but I never saw the face Heard but not replaced I ventured to talk, but I never lost my place Cast out a spell rendered for the light of day Lost in lights array I ventured to see, as the sound began to play What happened to this song we once knew so well Signed promise for moments caught within the spell I must have waited all my life for this Moment moment The future poised with the splendour just begun The light we were as one And crowded through the curtains of liquid into sun And for a moment when our world had filled the skies Magic turned our eyes To feast on the treasure set for our strange device What happened to wonders we once knew so well Did we forget what happened surely we can tell We must have waited all our lives for this Moment moment moment Star light movement, reasons Release forward Tallest rainbow Sun shower seasons Life flower seasons They move fast, they tell me, But I just can't believe that I can feel it There's someone to tell you, Amid the challenge we look around in unison with you Getting over overhanging trees Let them rape the forest Thoughts would send our fusion Clearly to be home They move fast, they tell me, But I just can't believe they really mean to There's someone, to tell you, And I just can't believe our song will leave you Skyline teacher Warland seeker Send out poison Cast iron leader And through the rhythm of moving slowly Sent through the rhythm work out the story Move over glory to sons of old fighters past, Young christians see if from the beginning Old people feel it that's what they're saying Move over glory to sons of old fighters past. They move fast, they tell me, But I just can't believe they really mean to There's someone, to tell you, Acourse towards a universal season Getting over overhanging trees let them Rape the forest, they might stand and leave them Clearly to be home Getting over wars we do not mean We charm the movement suffers Call out all our memories Clearly to be home We've moved fast We need love A part we offer is our only freedom What happened to this song we once knew so well Signed promise for moments caught within the spell We must have waited all our lives for this Moment moment Past present movers moments we'll process the future, but only Through him we know, send flowered rainbows Apiece apart chased flowers of the dark and lights of songs To follow and show all we feel for and knoew of, cast round, You seekers of the truth accepting that reasons will relive And breath and hope and chase and love For you and you and you
The Remembering (High the Memory)
(Anderson — Howe — Squire — Wakeman — White)
As the silence of seasons on we relive abridge sails afloat As to call light the soul shall sing of the velvet sailors course on Of the velvet sailors course on Shine or moons send me memories trail over days of forgotten tales Course the compass to offer into a time that we've all seen on Into a time that we've all seen on High the memory carry on While the moments start to linger Sail away among your dreams The strength regains us in between our time The strength regains us in between our time As we shall speak to differ also the ends meet the river's son So the ends meet the river's son Ours the story shall we carry on And search the forest of the sun We dream as we dream! Dream as one And I do think very well That the song might take you silently They move fast They tell me There's someone rainbow Alternate tune In the days of summers so long We danced as evenings sang their song We wander out the days so long And I do feel very well That the evenings take you Silently. They move round Sunlight, seeing ground Whispers of clay Alternate ways Softer messages bringing light to a truth long forgotten on As we shall speak to differ also the ends meet the river's son So the ends meet the river's son I reach over and the fruit of life stand still Stand awhile we search our past we start anew The music sings of love you knew We walk around the story Out in the city running free Sands of companions sides that be The strength of the meeting lies with you Wait all the more regard your past School gates remind us of our class Chase all confusion away with us Stand on hills of long forgotten yesterdays Pass amongst your memories told returning ways As certain as we walk today We walk around the story Out in the city running free Days pass as seconds turn they key The strength of the moment lies with you Don the cap and close yoru eyes imagine all the glorious challenge Iron metal cast to others Distant drums Force the bit between the mouth of freedom didn't we learn to fly Remember to sail the skies Distant suns Will we reach Wiunds allow Other skylines Other skylines to hold you Relayer All the dying cried before Relayer We've rejoiced in all their meaining Relayer We advance we retrace our stories Like a dreamer all our lives are only lost begotten changes We relive in seagull's pages Outwards ways. Things are all in colours and the size of others shall send you forward Arrange to sail you toward A peace of mind Will we reach Winds allow Other skylines Other skylines to hold you Relayer All the passion spent on one cross Relayer Sail the futile wars they suffer Relayer We advance we retrace our story, fail safe now Stand on hills of long forgotten yesterdays Pass amongst your memories told returning ways As certain as we walk today Press over moments leaving you Out in the city running free Days pass as seconds turn the key The strength of the moment lies with you Out tender outward lights of you Shine over mountains make th eview The strength of you seeing lies with you Ours entrace we surely carry on And change the passing of the sun We don't ewven need to try we are one And I do think very well As the truth unflods you Silently They move time Rainbows Sunlight Alternate tune Alternate tune Rainbows Soft light Alternate view Sunlight Tell me Someone Alternate view Alternate view, surely, surely
The Ancient (Giants under the Sun)
(Anderson — Howe — Squire — Wakeman — White)
As one with the knowledge and magic of the source Atuned to the majesty of music They marched as one with earth Sol, Dhoop Sun Ilios Naytheet Ah Kin Saule Tonatiuh Qurax Gunes, Grian Surje Ir Samse So the flowering creativity of life wove its Web face to face with the shallow And their gods sought out and conquered, Ah Kin Do the leaves of green stay greener through the autumn Does the colour of the sun turn crimson white Does a shadow come between us in the winter Is the movement really light And I heard a million voices singing Acting to the story that they had heard about Does on child know the secret and can say it Or does it all come out along without you Along without you Along without you Where does reaon stop and killing just take over Does a lamb cry out before we shoot it dead Are there many more in comfort understanding Is the movement in the head And I heard a million voices singing Acting to the story that they had heard about Does one child know the secret and can say it Or does it all come out along without you Along without you Along without you
Ritual (Nous Sommes du Soleil)
(Anderson — Howe — Squire — Wakeman — White)
Nous sommes du soleil. We love when we play. Nous sommes du soleil. We love when we play. Open doors we find our way We look we see we smile Surely daybreaks cross our path And stay maybe a while Let them run, let them chase Let them hid between Constant doors will open eyes As life seems like Life seems like a Fight, fight, fight Maybe I'll just sing awhile And then give you a call Maybe I'll just say hello And say maybe that's all Hurry home as love is true Will help us through the night Till we're coming home again Our life seems like Life seems like a Fight, fight, fight Catch as we look and use the passions that flow As we try continue We receive all we venture to give Maybe we'll just stand awhile And surely we can call Dreams are said to blossom courage Constant to the soul Change we must as surely time does Changes call the course Held inside we enter daybreaks Asking for asking for The source The source The source Sent as we sing our music's total retain As we try and consider We receive all we venture to give All we say is our Soul constant sight listener We won't tender our song clearer Till we sail Then I will be there And I will be there As clearer companions Shall call to be near you They move around tell me that Move around surely sing As they don't seem to matter at all At all at all ... Hold me my love, hold me today, call me round Travel we say, wander we choose, love tune Lay upon me, hold me around lasting hours We love when we play We hear a sound and alter our returning We drift the shadows and course our way on home Flying home Going home Look me my love sentences move dancing away We join we receive As our song memories long hope in a way Nous sommes du soleil Hold me around lasting ours We love when we play Nous sommes du soleil Nous sommes du soleil
