Morning Moonlight
05:53

I have wanted to see the morning
I have wanted to see the light
I have wanted to see the morning
But I will settle for the moonlight
When I hear of all the legends that came before me
When I hear the songs they used to sing aloud
When I see the visions of the old time spirit
I can breath and stand and know that I am at home
I have wanted to see the morning
I have wanted to see the light
I have wanted to see the morning
But I will settle for the moonlight
When ready all my senses for receiving
And I dig deepest cavern for love
When look for dying light in all dark places
I know there’s hopeful spark
From a humbled Flint.
I have wanted to see the morning
I have wanted to see the morning light

Trip the Light

I’m a little over my head. I don’t know what I’m doing
I need a little push from my friends. So we can see what we’re doing.
I can’t make it I can’t make it
On my own
I can’t make it I can’t make it
Without you
We can make it we can make it mmmmmmmmm
We can make it we can make it.
So trip the light
So trip the light
I try my best not to think. Cause when I do I loose control.
I feel the weight and I start to sink. Is this all part of control?
I can’t make it I can’t make it
On my own
I can’t make it I can’t make it
Without you
We can make it we can make it mmmmmmmmm
We can make it we can make it.
So trip the light trip the light trip the light trip the light I’ll trip the light
Stare into space
So trip the light trip the light trip the light trip the light I’ll trip the light
Stare into space

Stare into space
I can’t make it I can’t make it
On my own
I can’t make it I can’t make it
Without you
We can make it we can make it mmmmmmmmm
We can make it we can make it.
So trip the light trip the light trip the light trip the light I’ll trip the light

Mannequins
04:28
|

When I was a girl yes I had a dream that mannequins were melting all over me
And my mother wake, and I was in tears
I said mommy please don’t melt onto me
This is my melody
When I was a girl yes I had a dream that honey was the gold of everything
But the battle did fall, and the ghost of the bees did call
They said honey was the meaning of it all
This is my battle call

Walking Mirror
06:06
|

I am the rock upon your will
Like a glass that shan’t be spilt
Like the sun against the hill
I am the clouds around your head
Like a light that’s never shed
If it’s a feast then we are fed
I am the ground on which you walk
Like a town that can’t be bought
Like a thief that’s never caught
I am the lips upon your kiss
Like an elevated fist
When the target is dismissed
I can’t sleep when I think of you
When I dream, I dream of you
I am your walking mirror
All your love and beauty come back to you
I am your walking mirror
All your love and beauty come back to you
I am the rumble in your chest
Like a game of honest theft
When there’s only seconds left
I am the north upon your rose
Like the hand that guides the nose
When the scent is getting close

My Aurora
04:49
|
|||
I left you on the meadow at the beginning of the year
The sky was gray and the ground a white and i'll admit I shed some tears
I made a promise I'd come back to you before you'd even know
We'd spend the year to come before the first new drop of snow
Oh love, love look up and think of
the northern sky in the middle of the night
and we'd spend the hours a'counting away
and we'd spend the hours a'counting away
Oh love, love look up and think of
the dancing sky in the middle of the night
when Aurora would be shining
when Aurora would be shining
As seasons changed and the days were warmed
I would travel the open sea
Where I'd meet the ladies of the blue and they would listen to my stories
I told them of you love of mine, and our sunny afternoons
and how I'd know deep in my soul that I was coming back to you
Oh love, love look up and think of
the fiery skies in the middle of the night
how your skin and mine would be finding a way
how your skin and mine would be finding a way
Oh love, love look up and think of
our tired eyes from the sleepy moon's light
how our bodies would be fading
and our bodies
Now the leaves have turned and the air is crisp and ocean's voice has ceased
I'll travel the path that lead me here between the quiet ancient elm trees
and as the path along turns meadow I will know I have arrived
to the northern sky in the middle of the night
to the true love of mine
Oh love, love look up and think of
the northern sky in the middle of the night
as we'd spend the hours a'counting away
as the waves at night would drift back from the bay
And I'd see Aurora shining my love shining shining
My Aurora
My Aurora
My Aurora
My Aurora

Animals
05:30
|

Here they come in the night
The wild animals attack me
When they turn out the lights
And the fire’s out of site
It’s a new moon’s night
And I can hear the wild’s cry
And I hear their feet
By the crunching of the leaves
Like the sound of their teeth
As they’re biting into me
On the night of the new moon
Here they come in the night
The wild animals attack me
And the blood runs warm
As the flesh is being torn
And the beasts they swarm
As they end my human form
And they scream as they do
As they conquer over you
And they dance to this tune
On the night of the new moon
Here they come in the night
The wild animals attack me

Black Magnus

I can see the horsemen coming
I can feel the harvest running
I can hear the shamaness summon
And the cold wind on its way
I can see the icemen shoving
I can feel the hours humming
I can hear the mistress loving
And the darkness on its way
Black
Black Magnus
Black Magnus
Black Magnus
Magnus the Black

Whiskey

Crush the rye, the corn
The barley’s gonna take it, the steam is gonna make it flow
Add the life from these hands from the fields your mother gave you
Her body’s gonna make it flow
Charred white oak barrel
Charred white oak barrel
Charred white oak barrel
Charred white oak barrel
The taste is sweet on your lips
On your tongue the buds are blooming
The wild scent is looming so
Let it burn through your heart
Let it fuse with your body your skin is gonna make it flow
Charred white oak barrel
Charred white oak barrel
Charred white oak barrel
Charred white oak barrel
Whiskey inside of me
I know you want to mix me I know you want to drink me up
Whiskey inside of me
I know you want to mix me I know you want to drink me up
Out the door the air
Is colder than the last time the fire inside is warm
To the fields lay my head
Down to sleep I hear her speaking conjuring a violent storm
Charred white oak barrel
Charred white oak barrel
Charred white oak barrel
Charred white oak barrel
Whiskey inside of me
I know you want to mix me I know you want to drink me up
Whiskey inside of me
I know you want to mix me I know you want to drink me up
Whiskey inside of me
I know you want to mix me I know you want to drink me up
Whiskey inside of me
I know you want to mix me I know you want to drink me up

Yippy Ki Yi Yay
Yippy Ki Yi Yo
Yippy Ki Yi Yay
Off into the hills we go
Colors from particulate laser beams
Colors from particulate laser beams
Colors from particulate laser beams
Sun goes rising through my breath
I don’t care no I don’t care no
Sun goes rising through my breath
I don’t care no I don’t care no
Sun goes rising through my breath
I don’t care no I don’t care no
Sun goes rising through my breath
I don’t care no I don’t care no
White horse sleeping rider
Endless stars on fire
Landscape full of craters
Dancing crashing title showers
Atmospheric pressure ceases
Shadows of the month decreases
Brightness tearing Full reveal full reveal full reveal
Sun goes rising through my breath
I don’t care no I don’t care no
Sun goes rising through my breath
I don’t care no I don’t care no
Lunar core of molten iron
Beating heart of sleeping dragon
Spinning on its nodal axis
Eating up its counterpart
Sleeping rider noble fighter
Here to start a funeral pyor
Eats the moon core of iron
Rahu Ketu Rahu Ketu
Sun goes rising through my breath
I don’t care no I don’t care no
Sun goes rising through my breath
I don’t care no I don’t care no
Sun goes rising through my breath
I don’t care no I don’t care no
Sun goes rising through my breath
I don’t care no I don’t care no
Colors from particulate laser beams
Colors from particulate laser beams

From the Sea
05:31
|
|||
Morning haze gathers as it falls
When the sun breaks it all but stalls
Growing dusk hides behind the trail
Midnight slumber now has reached unveiling
Arise my little children
From the sea, oh from the sea
Tonight I’ll be waiting
On my knees, oh on my knees
Deep in winter all we know is snow
Waiting restless for the golden glow
Hearts are heated and minds lost in the weather
Standing firm on the edge of forever
Arise my little children
From the sea, oh from the sea
Tonight I’ll be waiting
On my knees, oh on my knees
Hear the call from voices holy
Stand up tall and rise up slowly
I will often stay here
Eyes and thoughts are filled with glory
Sing the songs that tell our story
We cannot remain here
