V Divided Continents
The valleys had divided But the oceans rumbled on As the ground and sky collided The memories of Love were gone This ancient land of paradise Had begun to waste away This wondrous land of happiness Had somehow gone astray The conflict of the Ages Had made them unaware That they were tearing up their world And far beyond compare No one seemed to notice That there was nothing at peace With silent screams of suffering And riots in the streets The sun turned its head As all of the Earth turned red The greatest evil had led Them into the ground instead…

VI The Battle of Aergonia
Transformed into a holy Hell Aergonia was all but dead The need of always having more Had vaporized their stead Destruction now was all they knew There was no hope at all And everything for which they’d lived Once rose and now would fall When the smoke had risen And the dust had cleared…

VII The Beginning
…The scars of the battle had all but disappeared A handful of frightened ones Fled to escape their fears… They climbed aboard their mighty ships Set sail to the sky Taking with them memories Ignorant of the ancient try To the other end of the universe So they can be alone To get away from their parent land And start one of their own…

Every Minute
As every minute passes by I long to see your face To be inside your deepest thoughts To feel your warm embrace As every minute slips away I long to touch your skin To see the happiness in your eyes And the love that lies within Every night without you Is like a book with a missing page An actor without a stage Every night without you Is like a picture without a frame A fire without a flame I’m wanting you I’m missing you I’m without you I’m loving you…

Cards
Queen of Hearts Ace of Spades The willingness to play soon fades Thickening smoke begins to rise Spiraling up To unyielding skies Many faces in different shades Greedy minds behind hungry eyes Cards Scattered on the table Willing and able Cards Making a million But losing a billion Cards No one’s in control They’re out of control Tired hands with robotic motions Reaching for drinks Deadly potions Clock strikes twelve Yet the game goes on Trying to revenge those who won Desperate men with strange devotions Playing ’til the final chip is gone Big-wheelers, casino dealers Everyone’s the same Scheming cheaters, pig-like eaters All involved in the game…

Labyrinth
Time rushes around me Life passes me by Making it hard to try But the more I move forward The more that I see What’s in store for me I can’t help but to go on And learn the questions To the answers I’ve found Show me the light And show me the way Labyrinth of life Leaving the mind mystified The soul in disarray I guess that I’m alone In finding my way Cars rushing around me People passing me by Not offering to help me try But the more I move forward The more that I see People are following me…

High Velocity
Visibility low Altitude too hight Signal fading Clouds parading Across the sky Sensibility low Goals set way too high Words repeated Dreams preceded By anxious sighs Push it to the limit Reach up for the stars Feel the sense of pride Until you realize You’ve gone too far Proceed at high velocity Use up all your energy Before you’ve even reached your dreams? Possibilities endless Success simplified Beware the speed You do not need A fast but painful ride…

The Music of Sound
Oceans roaring, carving rocks Ravaging the seaside docks As the tides ebb sandy shores You can hear the music play Stormy nights — Rain falls in harmony Keeping time — Thunder claps in rhythm Beating in furious glory Whistling wind Blows through the evergreens — Flutes of old Like something never seen Played in glorious fury A great symphony Playing melodies To all who disbelieve In their power to create Quiet nights — Silence is deafening Lost in time — Playing without worry Music never weakening Singing birds — Chorus still presiding Keeping track Of all that’s played and sung Not to be played again Weeks and months and years…

There’s Something About Paradise
The sun lies low on the western horizon Sinking beneath the sea Dark yet orange with its glowing rays As it peeks between the trees The ocean crashes on the beaches As you walk down to the bay It claws away at the shell-filled sand Searching for a place to stay There’s something about paradise That keeps a glitter in my eyes There’s something about it when the sun rises And brings it all to life Day into night in sanctuary While birds drink from the pond You can hear the water trickling Down the waterfall beyond Wish it all could last forever Just never cease to be I want…

In the Midst of a Dream
In the midst of dream We perform our little plays Each day just another scene Speaking lines that don’t seem clear Putting feeling in a phrase Each of us, are we really here? Are we just in the midst of a dream Are we really what we feel Sometimes in the midst of a dream Everything appears to be real Shall we one day disappear All of us just not exist Because of someone’s sudden fear Why worry what your next step will be For when the time comes to resist We will all fade so easily Creative ideas With no apparent fate Visions of someone Truly filled with hate…
