You live, you love, you leave
Arrive, ascend, achieve
Seeing, hearing, heard
Listen, harken, word
You turn, you tell, you take
Aware, alert, awake
Shifting, drifting, roam
Knowing, going, home
And the answer is lost in the word
You wish, you will, you wait
Compare, conspire, create
Yearning, learning, why
Pining, rising, fly
And the answer is lost in the word

Abducted

Signals blinking on the car ahead, flashing red
I have had the strangest dreams at night, flashing lights
Intensely bright
I’m feeling sleepy, but I’m still aware
Of moving shadows out in the cold night air
I feel afraid! (Relax you’ll be all right)
What do they want? (You will be home tonight)
I cannot move! (Control is in our hands)
Where are you from? (You would not understand)
My abductors are our friends they say, from far away
All they want is to examine me, then set me free
Well that may be
But should I trust them? I guess I have no choice!
I’m feeling dizzy, in telepathic voice
My captors say (You will feel little pain)
Some kind of test? (Just go to sleep again)
When will this end? (One sample more today)
I’m drifting back (And we’ll be on our way)
Doctor wakes me and I can’t recall a thing at all
Plays a tape recorded while I dreamed, I want to scream!
How real it seems!
Now I remember the horror of it all
Under hypnosis I have relived it all
I was afraid! (Relax you’ll be all right)
What do they want? (You will be home tonight)
I cannot move! (Control is in our hands)
Where are you from? (You would not understand)

I know there are two sides to every story
And the truth lies somewhere in between
And so there’s no need to say you’re sorry
Where you are now, I have been
But I wanna know
Are you happy, can you play?
You know that the pain that you’re now feeling
Will dissipate before too long
And so when you move beyond the healing
What you know now will make you strong
Be – you can be what you want to be
See – see the world with new eyes
You – you’re a victim of circumstance
But circumstance can change in the blink of an eye
Soon – you’ll be back on your feet again
Time – you’ve got time on your side
Play – you can play how you want to play
‘Cause how you play defines who you really are
And now with your confidence rebuilding
You feel the pressure lift away
And though you may find your work fulfilling
Be sure to make some time to play
But I gotta know
Are you happy, when you play?

Wrong

One hand on the book, the other on the gun
One used as the rationale to use the other one
Ancient writings masqueraded as the truth
Interpreted by radicals for impressionable youth
Tell them what to think, then tell them what to do
Tell them that you’ll pray for them when they have died for you
Give them scraps of hope to play on their despair
Like promises of martyrdom and joy beyond compare
But what if you’re wrong
What if you’re wrong
What if you’re wrong
What if the whole thing’s wrong
Praise the deities that license you to kill
If infidels don’t find you, then karma surely will
Your dispatches marching to a certain death
Will they still believe you as they take their final breath
‘Cause what if you’re wrong
What if you’re wrong
What if you’re wrong
What if the whole thing’s wrong
You speak of afterlife as if you know it well
But your road map to heaven instead leads straight to hell
And that’s why you’re wrong

How can I put into words
Describing a sound that’s never been heard
How can I translate for you
All these emotions that I’m going through
Mission and vision get blurred
Dreaming the meaning of words
And so the music shall augment the word
