Pool of Leaves And so at last, I have reached the centre, Brought to this strange wode of green... Brought here by a long red road Here can I purvey the beauty of this place In it's entirety... So I'll bathe in this pool of leaves, Regressing to that moment, When the waters filled my lungs And blood poured out From my mouth and nose... Blood and water My breath was water and blood... For I went to an Other place And time There was no time Only sleep. what brought me back? The force of life itself? The fight? The will? The fear? Have I really been sleeping there Ever since? Caught between the moment of my leaving And the moment of my return? Growing inside While I slept? Breathe Just Breathe Listen Just Listen I am Here and now In this pool of leaves Torn Pages All __________________ She Cries So you’ve gone and done it all Did you think you never would? You stand upon the mountain top And She Cries Yes She cries And do you wish do you wish You’d never seen All of the blankets and all of the dreams And do you wish you’d never took hold of the page And torn it all away And She Cries Yes She cries For she touched you and you kissed her Did you think you never could You lie upon the distant stream And She Cries Yes She cries And do you wish do you wish You’d never took hold of all her wishes and all of her dreams And do you wish do you wish For the pages to be torn, And the Rain to fall from the Sky? And She Cries Yes She cries

FaraDawn In an unfree world we can still be free In the act of life comes a dream So break the glass and kiss me Bend the heart that will not break Catch the dream when it falls Catch the leaf when it falls Falls.... When it falls... The boy stands alone The boy stands alone The boy stands alone The boy who said NO! Hey diddle diddle The cat and the fiddle The cow jumped over the moon The little dog laughed To see such fun And the dish ran away with the spoon the dish ran away with the spoon the dish ran away with the spoon the dish ran away with the spoon the dish ran away with the spoon the dish ran away with the spoon There is no spoon Run away, run away .... The boy stands alone The boy stands alone The boy stands alone The boy who said NO! The boy stands alone The boy stands alone The boy stands alone Alone Alone Alone Alone You can still be free...

Listen 05:51
Listen It’s in the air, It’s in the air, It’s in the air, That we breathe… It’s in the round, It’s in the sound, It’s in the ground, Beneath our feet… It’s in the air, It’s in the air, It’s in the air, That we breathe… It’s in the clouds, It’s in the rain, It’s in the pain, That I feel…

So Full of This What have I done? Why did I let it all go? Smashed up my things Tore up the picture you had of me I don't know why I don't know why I feel so full of this I just feel so full of this I could have been strong I could have been the man I thought I was And never have tried to feel I could never Have tried to feel Feel so full of this I just feel so full of this Lost in smoke stains And ice cold foil Staring through the bottom Of the shattered glass Drowning in the droplets Blood on my finger nails Can you ever make it stop? Will it never be made TO STOP Just feel So full of this I just feel So full of this I'll cut myself In two I'll cut Myself in two I'll cut myself In two In two In to Into

Hold Me 10:44
Hold Me I'm just thinking of the time, I used to be so young, I remember that the days were so long, And the night it shone, Like the star. And you could not let me go, You would never let me go.... And I wanted you to stay Please stay and hold me again tonight. And I know, How I know That to dream is to steal To steal a Life that could have been, Is to dream, And the blood just flows and flows and carries me to the sea It carries me to the Sea Let me dream the dream again with you Just hold me Just hold me Again tonight

Where the river meets the Sea (Poem read over intro) Rise up, arise ye mighty and behold The archangel is riding on the wind Singing with the angels and saints upon the moor Of ancients, of ancestors that rest below the marsh. Where the river meets the sea There stand I. From o’er Stert flats the sea breeze rides Across Huntspill levels along the ancient Brue And as it blows it catches ten thousand voices Of ancients, of ancestors lost upon the marsh. Where the river meets the sea There stand I. For so comes the flowing air to lick the foot of the tor To bless this earth with the salt of the sea Carrying the voices ten thousand strong Of ancients, of ancestors who sleep within the marsh. Where the river meets the sea There stand I. Betwixt Mendip and Polden it flows upon the waters Still as the Moon, deep as the blood in our veins Gently caressing the apples of the vale It shall become our prayer; for Where the river meets the sea The knife shall sear the cord Of flesh and blood and bone. (Refrain Sung) Where the river meets the sea, Where the river meets the sea, Where the river meets the sea, There I stand. There's a child in your arms, Hey You! There's a Child in your arms For the moon is in the sky Yes the moon is in the sky And the stars begin to shine, Yes the stars begin to shine. And the candles burn tonight Where the river meets the sea, where the river meets the sea, Where the river meets the sea, There I stand.

I Do 08:04
I DO Hush now, Don’t you cry, Let me put my arms around you, and wipe your tears dry. Come now; Let me ease your pain, I’ll give you eternity; No-one will hurt you again. Sweet beauty, You are so pure, Oh so precious, Our love will endure. His voice was so soothing; His words were so warm, She felt deep within her, A new life would be born. She walks to her savour, Returns his embrace, Resting her head on his shoulder, She looks up at his face. I promise a life time, A Kindred you’ll be, Roaming the world, Forever with me. She closes her eyes, And takes a deep breath, Holds in the air, As his fangs pierce her flesh. His voice was so soothing, His words were so warm, She felt deep within her, A new life would be born. The sensation is ecstasy, She knows this is right, The sun her enemy, A creature of night. Standing together, Still in their embrace, Evilness, darkness, Reflects in their face. I’m hungry she whispers, Of course my new bride, Come lets go hunting; I’ll be by your side. His voice was soothing, His words were so warm, She felt deep within her, A new life would be born.

Who I Am 05:28
Who I Am Do you ever understand, What it means to hold your hand? Do you ever understand, What it means to hold your hand? Just to reach out and say hello, Just to reach out and to say hello Do you ever understand, What it means to hold your hand? Just to reach out and say hello Just to reach out and say hello Just to reach out and touch Just to hold your hand Just to hold your hand Just to reach out and touch Just to hold your hand Just to hold your hand Will you walk will you run Will you fly will you ever say goodbye Will you walk will you run Will you fly will you ever say goodbye I guess Im scared You’ll say goodbye I guess Im afraid of the dark Of the time the door opens wide And he stands before me And whispers my name And tells me to sleep To sleep Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever I don’t want to I don’t have to I can turn away I can turn to you I can turn to you And say hello And say goodbye to the dark And the cut in the page It bleeds at last Running to the Sea Like the stream Flowing as free as the dream I dream Just to reach out and say hello This is me this who I am What it means to hold your hand What it means to hold your hand Do you ever understand What it means to hold your hand Do you ever understand What it means to hold your hand Just to reach out and say hello Just to reach out and say hello, hello, hello

Underneath The Juniper Tree Sometimes I feel so Sad Sometimes I just feel so Sad So Sad inside I’m drowning Drowning in the big blue sea Drowning in the promises I made Drowning in my shame Don’t let me go Don’t leave me here Don’t leave me here to drown Sometimes I just feel Sad Sometimes I feel I’m to blame Sometimes I’m drowning inside Drowning in the waves So please don’t go Don’t leave me here to drown Drowning in the promises I made Drowning in my shame

With Rain 05:43
You looked into his eyes Into sheer cascade of pain Dark shadows of disguise Pour down bloody bloody rain Pour down bloody bloody rain Throw down the sky with shattered rain! Tear down the sky with shattered rain! Tear down the shattered sky with rain! His glance casts you aside You ran but you fell deep inside And you fall Yes you fall So small Tear down the shattered sky with rain! Throw down the sky with shattered rain! So the tear it gently falls Beneath so cold Why did he take it all? Why did he take it all? So the tear it gently falls So the tear it gently falls With rain

The Look 04:24
The Look I looked into your eyes Into sheer cascade of pain Dark shadows of disguise Pour down bloody bloody rain Pour down bloody bloody rain Throw down the sky with shattered rain! Tear down the sky with shattered rain! Your glance casts me aside I ran but I fell deep down inside And I fell I fell so small so small So small so small so small Until innocence gave up its cry So the tear it gently falls Into the well beneath (me) so cold Why did you take it all When none of it was yourssssssss AAAAAgggghhh!? You kiss so close I almost felt (its touch) How I scream inside Until innocence gave up its cry And the sky it bleeds With shattered rain I almost felt (its touch) How I scream inside Until innocence gives up its cry Until innocence gives up its cry Until innocence gives up its cry So the tear it gently falls Into the well beneath (me) so cold Why did you take it all When none of it was yourssssssss AAAAAgggghhh!?

From the Book of Torn Pages "Now I realize" She wrote to me "I deserve serenity" She said she'll never "And the music" Let go of me...

"How I dance" 10,000 miles "O the dance How I dance" 10,000 miles 10,000 lives "The Sacred Dance of My Return" 10,000 miles 10,000 lives 10,000 dreams From the book of Torn Pages She wrote to me She said she never Let go of me In my darkest cloud Her light shone near In her darkest hour She knew I cared... 10,000 miles 10,000 lives 10,000 dreams......
