Bright is the night When the lion's near All is the light When the lion's near Blue of the oceans and skies The snowfall, the sunrise The glowing spring and the trees' swing In his eyes there is everything Tender's the wind And the air is clear When the lion's near When the lion's near When the lion's here I am losing myself I am losing myself When the lion's near When the lion's near When the lion's here

Shamaim 03:16
Nobody else besides Him No other No one could be closer, yet farther The only ray to light The night and day The only name that I Dare not say Lost In the clouds above Lone In the space and time My fear and love My arets, my shamaim Outside the garden wall Wild trees root Bitter is the peel Sweet is the fruit The left side The right side The bright day And the dark of night Hurt me, hold me Until I find You are lost In the clouds above Lone In the space and time My fear and love My arets, my shamaim

Sleep Sleep 06:34
Sleep A pillow of cold rocks A tight wooden box A firm earthen bed Dead child dead A mouthful of sand Tiny white hands A young poplar root Grasp my foot But there, o there above The swarm of flies drones The beast once loved Comes digging the bones But no scream The blue tongue curling numb O, in that sleep What dreams may come? A place Where no sun beams The scattered dreams The small broken birds The songs unheard A pillow of cold rocks A tight wooden box A firm earthen bed Sleep, sleep, sleepyhead

Let the wind rise Let the storm begin Let the coal clouds Come rushing in So dark down here Dark there up high The whirling pillar Overcast the sky Make the trees fly Make the cars roll Make us feel desperate And so so small What's left of me Will finally learn to be free All precious things That we hold on tight All stars that glow In the night All fluttering dreams With their tiny wings Let them go With the wind All cues lost All ties torn Mighty is the hand of the storm First things first Last things last See I'm getting smaller With every blast What's left of me Will finally learn to be free All precious things That we hold on tight All stars that glow In the night All fluttering dreams With their tiny wings Let them go With the wind

Warmheart 03:47
O this warmheart of flesh A tender muscle Urges a splash of red Along the glistening vessel O this human body Is softly breathing Hundred thousand years I've been trapped here Hey here Me and my tortured twins dwell How we ache To break Out of this shell Sometimes I can't help Screaming out Thousand evil words In my mouth And the sewers of this Troubled mind Wish I could take a look At what's outside There O there If I could see through The paralyzing shimmer of the blue Sure to be Something true Let all the comets of the space Shine in the dark inside my chest Forever after Let all the lunar hurricanes Sing in the dark inside my head Forever after
6.
When I Die 04:22
The morning I die The clocks won't stop The traffic lights Will wink on in the streets And the skies Gonna rain Drop by drop As I close my eyes And stop breathing When I die Bury me on the top of the white hill Because I'd like to see the birds rushing by The morning I die The coldest of the year The northern winds Will keep howling around And the trees will swing, the snowflakes sting But I know I'll get warm In the ground When I die Bury me on the top of the white hill Because I'd like to see the birds rushing by When I die Bury me on the top of the white hill Because I'd like to see the birds Listening to the clapping of the winds there on high See the doors of the distant galaxies open wide Hear the calling of the stellar seas overhead Falling, falling up into the deep When I'm dead
7.
Claws Tight around my neck Don't Let go too soon I Will be bone of your bones Flesh of your flesh Apple of your eye Here And forever after Here Where no one can see We'll cling Till the end of time My shadow to yours Your shadow to mine Shadows We'll grow Shadows We'll go Lie down On the blades of the grass Look at the furry stars Down by the roots Hushed by the howling woods Scars over scars O what a mess we are A flash in his eye A splash on my wrist I'm a cloud I'm a firefly I am floating above the trees
