Earth Angels - We rise again

What makes me burn is anger

The magma battling the soul

Sadness is a hastener

It fuels the fire that burns me up

But yet I rise, I rise again.

No matter how many times I fall

No matter how much pain

Even if I'm feelin' insane

I'm just another earth angel

Waiting to spread its wings

I feel the heavenly pull

I feel my wings begin to sprout

With a firm support

With reconciliation

With forgiveness

In my soul

I am washed

Through the sky

By the everfree air and winds

Have you ever felt the wind

Have you ever felt its spirit

So careless and breezy

Blowing with impunity

Lifting birds to the sky

And even then, the wind must yield

To the angels passing through

For when they walk upon the sky

Their plumage so everwhite

The wind does kneel

And stops blowing

To look upon the beauty

Of an earth angel

Taken.

To the sky.

The Lone Seeker

He seeks not lovers nor love alike

He traverses the mountains in a lifetime hike

He is the lone seeker

He seeks what cannot be seen nor touched

He seeks the freedom that his lord promised him

He is solitary in his thoughts, but harmoniously connected in his actions

He is the friend of nature, although nature seeks to stop him

He means no harm, he is only a man, a man with deluded ambitions

Nature's lieutenants took pity on him

Nature's lieutenants were the faithful dog and the bravest lion

So they guided him, and showed him the way

So they warned him, freedom was not what he thought it to be

So they took him to the foot of a rotting cave

Where all of nature's immortal beauty halts at the mortal cave

Where death lies in wait, giving freedom to all who passed

Freedom... Freedom... Freedom... Freedom... Freedom... Freedom...

Death took the soul of the Lone Seeker and gave it to his lord

Freedom... Freedom... Freedom... Freedom... Freedom... Freedom...

He now was free

Who I am

I was crying

I am fearless

I will be fearless forever

I've no more tears left to cry

In this barren place

I've sent all my fears here to die

See me

You've ain't seen me yet

The new beginning, the final chance

This chance I'm taking, 'cause

You've ain't ever lived 'till you've seen me rise
