Fear Fiesta 07:51
Inside me a storm is brewing As I gaze out on the ocean Scathing thoughts rush through my mind And bitter tears have made me blind Sunny skies won’t make no difference On my lonely island far from home Cause I’m stuck here At the frontier Won’t be lazing on the beaches Have no urge to test the waters No cold drinks are served tonight No disco lights are pumping bright Instead I dance with faceless lovers Drink a toast to Madame Loneliness Cause I’m stuck here At the frontier Cold fear Has me nailed to the chair How come the world is fading? All my senses seem to be on leave Will someone ever find me? How can anybody see me grieve? Still I’m longing for a new life Got to build myself a life raft Venture out on the open sea That’s the only chance for me I should will myself a new world Where you sit impatiently and wait Cause I’m stuck here At the frontier Cold fear Has me nailed to the chair Fear - that’s keeping me down No help in sword or king’s crown Hope - a flighty creature A servant of the preacher Fear - that’s keeping me down No help in sword or king’s crown Hope - a flighty creature A servant of the preacher

Fog Vision 08:27
Silent
 A sea of starlight Faces
 A dream of tears The earth is shaking
 The heroes fall from grace The heaven’s aching
 A prayer holds no promise I wonder why dolphins are grey Once I knew a circus clown That would tell me bitter jokes Of days long gone
 And cruelty
 For all to see 
And Man wasn’t found
 To handle hope with
 Care and love

Seething waters Demand I return to shore Howlin’ northern winds Ask me what I am looking for Lightning strikes above Tries to set my good ship ablaze There’s no rest for me at all No end to the troubles I face Still the whispering song drives me on Still its spell keeps me moving How I miss you now that I’m gone Now it seems I feel the Gods reproving Never give my thoughts to the sea Never loose my torchlight Will I ever know I am free? Can I ever win this tough fight? Soon I’ll get there To the loneliest isle on Earth Leaving ship behind To seek out the song and mirth Through the forest to the Cottage of Lost Play I’ll present my errantry And the reasons for coming to stay Still the whispering song drives me on Still its spell keeps me moving How I miss you now that I’m gone Now it seems I feel the Gods reproving Never give my thoughts to the sea Never loose my torchlight Will I ever know I am free? Can I ever win this tough fight? Wondrous lady Please help me sort out this life Heal my hidden wounds Help me settle my inner strife By your fire Let me slowly get warm inside So I one day can venture forth to return with the sundering tide To the Cottage Of Lost Play I will reach it; I will stay To the Cottage Of Lost Play I will reach it; I will stay

Hatchling 11:34
Think of how the tide has been turning How the winds have changed
 Now the mighty forests are burning So estranged What sweet Earth, did you do to deserve this? Even the wise cannot say All I know, we are crossing a threshold
 With the ultimate price to pay ..... dear Life was hard, there’s no point in denying Your gifts with praise we received
 One day sweet; the next terrifying 
In Gods we believed Gaining knowledge to pave our road in life Still we lost in the end
 As we struggled to tame Nature’s forces We gave up being Nature’s friend ..... dear Money and steam Powers the dream Of the perfect world Top of the chain
How mundane Human reign unfurled You have tried to warn us
 Of the luring edge
 Man thinks he is soaring 
Though it’s nowhere near time to fledge Exploit and destroy Don’t be coy
 If it pays the bills Vulnerable Earth No rebirth
 Still we offer pills You have tried to warn us 
Of the luring edge
 Man thinks he is soaring
 Though it’s nowhere near time to fledge So we are falling
 And there’s no saving us ......
