open your eyes
there's a world of hurt crying out for love
it's no surprise
the storm is coming fast
time to rise above
caught in between our angels and our devils
got no room to move
now here she comes, she's the Heavenly One
Goddess of the Moon
and from a place way down inside your mind
she whispers a secret for all humankind...
it's a wonderful world
it's a beautiful day
the promises come
and the fear goes away
our rhyme and our reason come back home to stay
when Ourania shines
imagine you are all you were meant to be
that in time you'll know your possibility
it will be a better world, eventually
when Ourania shines
when Ourania shines, let it shine down on me
when Ourania shines
turning to stone
living out lives of desparation
the seeds have been sown
that become the fruits of our annhilation
if we could believe
and embrace the queen of all imagination
then She will come, the Heavenly One
Queen of the Stars
and with the sparks flying right out of her head
Ourania shows us how perfect we are...
it's a wonderful world
it's a beautiful day
the promises come
and the fears go away
our lost rhyme and reason come back home to stay
when Ourania shines
imagine you are who you were meant to be
that in time you'll know all possibility
it will be a better world, at last we'll see
when Ourania shines
when Ourania shines, let her shine down on me
with a light way down inside our mind
she shines down her wisdom for all humankind...

Yasmine
07:06
|
|||
|
It is unfortunate for Yasmine to have been born in a place and time
where the strictures of the Koran and the Saudi code apply
for Yasmine finds herself with child
and for this she must pay with her life
Yasmine remains fully aware of what she must do…
Yasmine go the way of the underground
Yasmine never look back
Yasmine go the way of the underground
Yasmine never look back
Yasmine contact the underground messenger
who is holed up in the El Fundo Ganoob Hotel in Taiz
he await the word
…and the camels cruise by with the Arabs on top
the Arabs, they are chewing the narcotic Khat
it helps them forget their troubles…
Yasmine go the way of the underground
Yasmine never look back
Yasmine go the way of the underground
Yasmine never look back
Yasmine, go under
Yasmine, she sail over
go under
Yasmine, she sail over
Yasmine go the way of the underground
Yasmine never look back
Yasmine go the way of the underground
Yasmine never look back
sail away
Yasmine, go under
Yasmine, she sail over
go under
Yasmine, she sail over
sail away
Yasmine is the silent promise
she carry the seed of hope

Midnight Dancer
06:06
|

|
almost time, Midnight Dancer…
Midnight Dancer
flash of fire in the dark
she comes and goes
where nobody but she knows
and waits for the night
far, far ‘cross miles of snowfield
under a nightshade she hides
are you there Midnight Dancer?
are you there Midnight Dancer?
are you there Midnight Dancer?
dance into the moonlight and show your face
daytime sleeper
Dancer’s out of her mind
dreaming in style she beguiles, sending smiles from her world
…who is that girl?
for so long I’ve sat by this window
chasing that same rising star
almost time, Midnight Dancer
almost time, Midnight Dancer
almost time, Midnight Dancer
step into the moonlight and show your face
and slowly the words to a song
long forgotten appear
O Pirouette Queen, must you stay so unseen
running off day after day
won’t you ever come and play?
holy darkness
what’s the secret you keep?
let’s see that painting in motion,
love poem in light
again tonight
show me your spin and your fancy
show me your satin and lace
now it’s time, Midnight Dancer
the night no longer hides you
now it’s time, Midnight Dancer dancing naked across the crazy moon
it’s time, Midnight Dancer who knows what kind of goddess you are
if you dare, Midnight Dancer
dance out from the shadows and show your face…

Demeter Rising
08:27
|
|||
|
mother earth, father blue skies
old tale for brand new eyes
see sweet child, rolling green plains
caressed by suns and rains
the wheat fields grow, they sway in winds of change
near-bursting with life, so known yet so strange
she’s the dance, she’s the dancer
grand design and designer
call her Demeter, rising from this fertile earth
master plan, laws eternal
what once was is living still
Goddess, touch…
touch and bless us
where water falls o’er rocks
where night-gardens wash the noise of worlds away
as suns turn to moons we can see her play
she’s the dance (now behold from whom the harvests come)
she’s the dancer (Demeter the strong and wild one)
grand design (bringer of abundance to the earth)
and designer (child of the mother giving birth)
call her Demeter, rising from this fertile earth
she’s the dance (now behold from whom the harvests come)
she’s the dancer (Demeter the strong and wild one)
grand design (bringer of abundance to the earth)
and designer (child of the mother giving birth)
she’s the dance (now behold from whom the harvests come)
the Midnight Dancer (Demeter the strong and wild one)
Demeter, rise…

Suzanne
06:21

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river now you will be travelling with her
you can hear the boats go by yes you will be travelling blind
you can spend the night beside her but you now know that you love her
and you know that she's half crazy for you’ve touched her perfect body
but that's why you want to be there with your mind…
and she feeds you tea and oranges
that come all the way from China Leonard Cohen
and just when you mean to tell her
that you have no love to give her
then she gets you on her wavelength
and she lets the river answer
that you've always been her lover
and you want to travel with her
and you want to travel blind
and you know that she will trust you
for you've touched her perfect body
with your mind
and Jesus was a sailor
when he walked upon the water
and he spent a long time watching
from his lonely wooden tower
and when he knew for certain
only drowning men could see him
he said ‘All men will be sailors then
until the sea shall free them’
but he himself was broken
long before the sky would open
forsaken, almost human
he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
and you want to travel with him
and you want to travel blind
and you think maybe you'll trust him
for he's touched your perfect body
with his mind
now Suzanne takes your hand
she’s the Goddess by the ocean
she is wearing rags and feathers
from Salvation Army counters
and the sun pours down like honey
on our lady of the harbour
and she shows you where to look
among the garbage and the flowers
there are heroes in the seaweed
there are children in the morning
they are leaning out for love
and they will lean that way forever
while Suzanne holds the mirror
and you want to travel with her
and you want to travel blind
and you know that you can trust her
for she's touched your perfect body
with her mind
Leonard Cohen

You're the One for Me
04:50
|
|||
|
you’re the one for me
maybe because you own the only key
that will open wide my heart
to all the gifts you are
a lover like no other I will ever know
and
I’m the one for you
nobody else could get you like I do
your worst of times, your best
were lost on all the rest
who never dared believe you as you are
out from a smoky past I wished for you
and like a lucky star you appeared
and over the arc of time my wish came true
love is now and here
for us, my dear…
yeah you’re the one for me
deep in your timeless eyes my fate I see
and I shall keep this flame
e’er burning in your name, ‘cause
you’re the one for me
out of a lonely past I wished for you
there like a lucky star you appeared
and over the arc of time my wish came true
love is now, it’s here
for us, my dear…
you’re the one for me
of all the goddesses through history
not one of them comes close
to you, my radiant rose
yes you’re the one
the only one
you’re the one
for me…

The Letting Go
07:19
|
|||
|
with the desert dust upon my face
I will see the coming of the Golden Dawn
in the smiling hot Sahara wind
where the sweet kiss of life lives on and on
soon to touch that ground again
sacred earth I’m found again
I’m coming home
home to you, Mokambaku
we are family
I’m letting it go, letting it all go
it’s the ‘meant to be’ that comes back to me
(the things I love I let go of)
but first the letting go, I’m letting it all go
free at last, I’m free at last
standing on the edge of ancient silence
as these salted tears stream down my burning cheeks
now on my knees I ask the last drained from me
oh let these red cathedral canyons teach
brother son, rise and shine
sister moon, rise and shine
I’m coming home
home to you, Mokambaku
we are family
I’m letting it go, letting it all go
it’s the ‘meant to be’ that comes back to me
(the things I love I let go of)
but first the letting go, I’m letting it all go
free at last, I’m free at last
we are family, we all, we all, we all…
at the final moment of my dying
how could that release be ever sweet
now Mokambaku, she has the answer
across the distance we are still in reach
tears of joy, blood on sand
dust to dust in the motherland
I’m coming home
home to you, Mokambaku
we are family
I’m letting it go, letting it all go
what’s meant to be will come back to me
(the things I love I let go of)
but first the letting go, I’m letting it go
free at last free at last
free at last free at last

Lapsed into Silence
by Andrew Lahiff
This music is like breathing itself and probably just as necessary. Lahiff’s work is fairly new to me, but regardless-it is timeless, sublime, and holy beyond any spoken language. Magnificent music.

Such delicate eloquent power does this music have! With brilliant use of high harmonics in the chord structures and floating, laserlike beams of sound heard only in Heaven, I am taken to a New Beyond.
