1.
Into the land where life stands still Past the trees and the valley far over the hill Where you never grow old And the earth will never rot Into the land that time forgot
2.
You feel trapped under the weight of your words They've overlapped falling and falling to the ground Crystal eyes gaze out into the sun You're standing still but it feels like you're on the run You don't know if your mind might slip Off of your face thoughts all will drip You don't know if you'll survive the trip Drifting away and trickling trickling down You look confused you smile but it feels like a frown Step inside into the church of your mind What a strange place you've entered a velvet and stained glass shrine You don't know if your mind might slip Off of your face thoughts all will drip You don't know if you'll survive the trip
3.
Slipping down an ancient waterway Wondering where I am today A grain of sand, a flash of light Sleeping in the garden of good and evil Drink this wine and you shall die Swim through tunnels in your mind The serpent tempts, my eyes can't see Cursed by the garden of good and evil Counting down Egyptian days Perfumed flowers in your hair A grain of sand, a flash of light Sleeping in the garden of good and evil
4.
Song of the seven willows Tale of the rose and thorn Out of the land of sorrow Deep in the land of dreams Song of the seven willows
5.
I saw you in the garden looking for the sun Sitting near the fountain side waiting for no one Tears like emeralds falling down turning into sand into sand You dreamed you saw a thousand years flash before your eyes Galleries projected creations in the sky You tried to climb the garden steps But time had turned to stone turned to stone A river flows through your eyes deep within the earth On through the ages of death and rebirth The beholder stands with starry eyes searching for the truth You wandered on in darkness not expecting what you'd find Martyrs and romantics crucified and dying Tears roll down your velvet skin but still you could not see A river flows through your eyes deep within the earth On through the ages of death and rebirth The beholder stands with starry eyes searching for the truth
6.
I had been caught dreaming with hazy purple eyes Gazing at reflections in the river Standing on the green green grass the rain-washed summer air Thinking about the purpose of the river The castle in the distance had faded into clouds The magician casting spells upon the day Cascading streams of light painting figures on the wall Dancing in the shadows of my footsteps I climbed upon a hill to the castle in the clouds To find the king had died in the garden
7.
The wings of the crystal bird painted royal blue and gold From the vine leaf water drips she leaves her garden throne The hyacinth of spring is grown the bird of time has flown Clasps the stone flies through the night the crystal bird is gone The voyage of the crystal bird the journey through the night Through the forest to the seventh gate the crystal bird takes flight The soft wind whispers calls her near beneath the willow brow Forsakes the stone the ruby ring for new love keeps her now The wings of the gilded bird fragile and noble crest Revealing secrets long she's kept within her royal nest The voyage of the crystal bird the journey through the night Through the forest to the seventh gate the crystal bird takes flight The voyage of the crystal bird the journey through the night To the east to the seventh gate the crystal bird takes flight

Forest Path 04:37
I walked upon the grass on a misty Sunday morning Down a gravel path into the forest with no warning Deep into the glade I saw my true love weeping As the season turned to cold the barley there was sleeping Disappearing in the trees I heard my true love calling And there beside a well gently it surrounds me Dropped a coin into the well watched the water turn to nothing Dropped a wish into the well saw the water changing colors Through the fog I made my way though the sound was so enchanting As the season turned to spring I heard the children laughing Down the forest path Down the forest path Down the forest path
9.
Into the land where thyme ponds flow Past the waltzing yellow flowers where scarlets grow Into the land where life stands still Past the trees and the valley far over the hill Into the land that time forgot Into the land that time forgot
10.
Rania 06:10
Rania standing on the shore of my mind Rania I saw you picking flowers in the rain Rania turning back the hands of your heart Close your eyes memories and dreams come apart Rania sapphire goddess in the moonlight Lies beneath the diamond tree Rania looking through the windows of your mind (Time is strange it slips away tomorrow is another day) Rania golden hair is flowing right behind (Rain is gone and children play watch the sky blow away) Rania turning back the hands of your heart (I remember you from long ago standing there but moving slow) Close your eyes memories and dreams come apart (Wind will blow the earth will shake trees will grow the earth will make) Rania sapphire goddess in the moonlight Sleeping near the garden gate
11.
Day Of Light 02:59
The sun goes down the day has vanished The children close their weary eyes The morning comes the light is strong Won't it help them find their way The path has led them from warmth and safety To uncertainty and fear The sun goes down the day has vanished The children close their weary eyes The day of light the day the trees grew from the earth The day of light the day of death and the day of birth The day of light the day of love and the day of hate The day of light of destruction and of create The day of light the day of beauty and the day of sin The day of light of the power of the light within
