Lyrics:
And we shall meet at the 11th h o u r
H i s t o r y is but a moving train forever changing
You can’t be neutral on a moving train, the wheels are turning
History is but a moving train, titans estranging
A cheerful form, a perfect storm, the tides are turning
And we shall meet at the 11th hour
Double-think and pain, a taste of 1984
From spring straight to winter, its not working anymore
Think very slowly says a voice before you move very fast
HISTORY is but a moving train forever changing
You can’t be neutral on a moving train, the wheels are turning
History is but a moving train, titans estranging
A cheerful form, a perfect storm, the tides are turning

METHUSELAH

METHUSELAH
And they say White Mountains and call us Old Methuselah
They say 'White Mountains' and call us 'Old Methuselah'.
We're not the oldest, Wind tells us stories from afar.
So many voices like one cry, we hear you, we hear you
A many silenced by a few; we hear you, we hear you
A few degrees away from r e a l i t y
Arise like Lions Shelley's way
Ye poets chant, 'She's on her way'
Wake up and see
Arise from slumber
Arise from slumber
There is beauty in numbers
There is beauty in numbers
You say 'White Mountains'. Those names are like a breath in time. Her drums have spoken a billion years giving us signs.
So many voices, weeping, pain - we hear you, we hear you.
Methuselah is weeping to - right near you, right near you.
Did I take for granted what was never for free
Ye, hidden in the open a mistique
Wake up and see the masters of your sleep
Arise like Lions Shelley's way
Ye poets chant, 'She's on her way'
Arise like Lions Shelley's way
Ye poets chant, 'She's on her way'
A mighty turn
A mighty turn
Arise from slumber
Arise from slumber
There is beauty in numbers
There is beauty in numbers

SEEDS
And one day we will be strong. Be strong
Who will sing their Lulaby. How to love
Who will hold them when they cry
Elena do you hear them, little voices beyond the walls
Elena they won’t let you be with them, little faces behind lattice bars
Who will sing their Lullaby
Who will hold them when they cry
One day they will be strong
Will we have taught them, taught them, taught them how to love
Elena why did you come here
Were you hoping to escape
Elena, your children’s spirit crushed by fear
Oh, lockup guards just follow orders
Who will sing our Lullaby
Who will hold us when they cry
We will remember we are strong
We will remember we are strong
Who will sing their Lulaby.
And one day we will be strong.
Who will hold them when they cry
We will remember we are strong
We will remember we are strong

LA LOBA Bone Woman

LA LOBA bone woman
Known to live in the Hidden Place
Told about in old Fairy Tales
All the lost and the wandering people fear not Her place
Promised rain did not reach the desert
Can get no sleep in my city port
Grey hair, brown arms in whitest Moon light
Ah!
No reference to remember, say for I know in my soul
Strong shaggy creature a long alpha howl
Sun Down Remembrance
La Loba bone dance
Her song so mighty I know I am Home
Sun Down Remembrance
La Loba bone dance
Searching, finding and birthing Her kind.
Come with me to the Hidden Place
Meet Bone Woman in Her desert cave
Soul voice singing bones alive
In the Hidden Place

LIMPING RAVEN

All that’s been written about
Strange bird born from the shadow world
Odd bird craving to tear those pretty crowds in the air
Don’t you see savage bird, your powers are needed here
All birds who flew to greet the sky where caught in the hunter’s net and cried. The limping raven way behind came to their aid ending their plight.
All that’s been written about

Don’t you see savage Bird, your Powers are needed here

A few degrees away from reality
Placed without meaning and no certainty
Wondering slowly and confused through months and years of winterland
Did I take for granted what was never for free
Constructs of safety liberty cups of tea
Think very slowly before you move really fast
HISTORY is but a moving train forever changing
You can’t be neutral on a moving train, the wheels are turning
History is but a moving train, titans estranging
A cheerful form, a perfect storm, the tides are turning
Double-think and pain, a taste of 1984
From spring straight to winter, its not working anymore
Think very slowly says a voice before you move very fast
HISTORY is but a moving train forever changing
You can’t be neutral on a moving train, the wheels are turning
History is but a moving train, titans estranging
A cheerful form, a perfect storm, the tides are turning

LIGHTS IN THE NIGHT

L i g h t s in the Night
Lights in the Night
Lights in the Night
A mighty Turn
Grieving the person we hoped we would become
Tireless explorers, the World was young
She would stand up to anything and never, ever told a lie
Another old, white man to preach
The truth is dead is what you teach
In cyber code, a sinking boat, Her world made homeless
The last Believers and hopeful Dreamers
They say the Birds believe their song makes the sun r.i.s.e.
Lights in the Night
There are no saviours, no marvel leaders
Lights in the Night
Keeping our little Fire burning
Lights in the Night
They say the Birds were telling us to wake
when World soul changed her Drum to take
a mighty turn, her treehouse burns, we'll rise at Day Break.
The last Believers and hopeful Dreamers
They say the Birds believe their song makes the sun r.i.s.e.
Lights in the Night
There are no saviours, no marvel leaders
Lights in the Night
Keeping our little Fire burning
Side by Side

Who will sing their Lullaby
Who will hold them when they cry
V1
A tiny girl with angel wings
Two little boys who look like twins
A tent filled with whispers, sweat and muffled screams
A thousand pairs of eyes are in my dreams
C
Who will sing their Lullaby
Who will hold them when they cry
One day they will be strong, will we have taught them, taught them, taught them how to love
V2
Your babies marching to a metal drum
Little angels long forgotten where they’re from
Their tiny faces behind lattice bars
Desert tents too hot for dreams or counting stars
C
Who will sing our Lullaby
Who will hold us when they cry
We will remember we are strong
We will remember we are strong
