@SONG: Music Reincarnate

[Part I - The Warning]

Taste of fruitful inhibitions of a human.
Incapable of future seeing
beyond his thoughts of music.
Birth of music, birth of child is one.
Language of the world, the missing sense.

Wait, wait, look at the sun,
music of blinding light,
sound strength destroying sight.

Warning man, time for collection.
Take for you your choice of senses.
Warning man, time for collection.
One which has no earth connection.

Feel and touch the music sense.
Hear the cycle man should have.
Feel and touch the music sense.
To fight emotion, mans defense.

Music is the spaceman's time.
A travel form of moving love.
Music is the spaceman's time.
Placed on earth for man to find.

Music has no earthly connection.
Taken from the source of Creation.
Music has no earthly connection.
Listen, time for your collection.

Taste of fruitful inhibitions of the man.
Beyond his thoughts of music.
Created and abused by man.
Unaware of future seeing.

[Part II - The Maker]

Knowing,
Gift of music showing.
Gift of love to show me the way
to the little man.
Teaching the way for the little man.
Show the way the music stems from love.
Music of my soul.

Maker.
Let me meet my Maker.
Let me see the man
who will offer eternal life.
Show me the way to eternal life.
Reincarnete music of my soul.
Music of my soul.

Love, let love guide the way,
for man, to find his music.
Love, let music be love,
to guide man to his soul.
(Music of my soul).

[Part III - The Spaceman]

Astral planes, the unknown sense,
Lives on past human life.
No man can sense his soul.
Governed by an unknown factor.
Fiction in our life.
No man can sense it whole.
The missing sense his soul.

Take us to your leader,
to the man who rules the mind.
Reincarnate knowledge,
as the soul reborn unwinds.
All life's secrets now unfold.
The mind begins to glow,
as helpless, watching living man
destroys and doesn't know.

Spaceman living in his suicide mind.
Odyssey colours for the soul to find.
Vision blurred by cutting knife.
Seeping blood from dying life.

Spaceman help me leave this Hell.
Save my living music cell.
Brains destroyed, my body cold.
Leave the ruins, music soul.

Inbuilt into human form.
A symphony of sight and sound.
Life direction in music found.
Or left to die unborn.

[Part IV - The Realisation]

It's too late now to help yourself.
Time for the Maker to help himself.

Foolish man with days to live.
Waste not your time.
It's way too late to save your soul in time.
You're far too old your soul to find.
You've wrecked your head,
and blown your mind.
It's too late to find your music soul.

It's too late now to help yourself.
Time for the Maker to help himself.
It's too late to find your music soul.

In younger men you watch yourself.
Destroy themselves like you.
It's way too late to save their lives in time.
You're far too old , their souls to find.
You've wrecked your head,
and blown your mind.
It's too late to find your music soul.

It's too late now to help yourself.
Time for the Maker to help himself.
It's too late to find your music soul.

[Part V - The Reaper]

Senses dead, the time has come.
To stop and dwell on ruined time.
Wasted wars and selfish pride.
Leaving tastes of music wine.
Searching useless wasted mind.
Reaching for the reapers hand.
Lead him from his suicide.
Please, is there a Promised Land.

Let me guide your journey long.
Leave then while they mourn.
We will journey back in time.
And you will be reborn.
From you I shall take your music.
Place it back on earth.
You shall witness long its voyage.
A music soul rebirth.

Did you see the graves today.
With weeds all overgrown.
Wilting plants, like man to dust.
Nowhere life is sown.

@SONG: The Prisoner

The shadow of the noose grew long
A sun dial of the time
The prisoner had left to live
A self inflicted crime
To pay with death for pain he gave
To those he soon will meet
The rope hung loosely round his neck
The Devil at his feet

"You shall hang," said the judge,
For your presence here on earth,
is no use for those who wish to live in peace.
Your evil is forever.
"You shall hang", said the judge.
"You shall hang,
You shall hang,
You shall hang."

The hangman checked the rope
Aware the prisoner was afraid
The preacher softly praying
To Our Lord his soul to save
The blindfold placed around his eyes
An unlit funeral pyre
The hangman pulled the lever
He heard an astral choir

One man's life has cost another
You shall not lie in sacred ground
The time has come to meet your Maker
Down on earth, they heard no sound

Your evil is for ever,
"You shall hang," said the judge.
All earthly life in you has ceased.

He tried to call out to the Maker
On no earthly soil he fell
The Maker motioned all around
He felt his soul dragged down to Hell
He saw the man that he had murdered
People he had pained on earth
Of souls returning reincarnate
No hope for his rebirth

"You shall hang", said the Maker,
For your presence on our planes,
Is no use for those who wish to rest in peace.

Your evil is for ever,
"You shall hang", said the Maker
You shall hang,
You shall hang. You shall hang.

@SONG: The Lost Cycle

The spaceman came from time unknown
His knowledge way ahead of man
To seek the cycle starting here
The evolution plan

Each day he watched the world evolve
Eternal life for him to prove
Watching man grow powerful
Detroying life with every move

The spaceman's world a burning mass
Destroyed by his own kind
A sole survivor lost in space
A growing world must find

He saw the birth of hate and war
Of death before our life was born
With human fear the spaceman saw,
And changed from human form

His voyage led back to Nemo's world
A peaceful start of human form
He knew one day he'd leave again
To witness other planet's born

He watches helpless, tearful,
As the world embittered grows
Moving closer to the end of earth
The spaceman only knows

The spaceman only knows the truth
He's seen it from eternal youth
Man will always die.
