May it be given...
May it be given that this pain
now disappear
and that out of this sorrow
healing will come.
May it be given that out of each tear
that falls burning,
your ghostly shadow will disappear.
May it be given that memory
may bring to you
a place of honour in my remembrance
and preserve you forever
as a sign that it was love.
l’Envoi
May it be given that out of this ash
that once was my most holy,
I will stand up
to go forth
and that I now become this phoenix
and encircle my thighs with power
and rise.

Disappear
(j farriss & michael hutchence)
Say Im crying
Im looking at whats on tv
Pain and suffering
And the struggle
To be free
It cant ever be denied and i
Never will ignore
But when I see you coming
I can take it all
Chorus
Youre so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear
All the problems
All the fears
And the world seems to disappear
Say youre mine
And give yourself to the
Feelings that you know
Im needing
All that you can give me
All the things
That you do so well
Words are healing
Sweet anticipation
Making spells
As the shadows close in
Fall across all our yesterdays
Chorus
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Say if I could
Look into myself and reason
But I could never never see or
Make snese of the dealings
Turn around
Am I looking at salvation
Make me realise all that I am
You put the light inside this man

I Still Love You
I was with you, you were alone
Now Im standing here
Wisdom came only after youd gone
Now Im starting all over, with a tear in my eye
I just never thought youd disappear
In the night your spirit arises
With it comes the pain
I hope Im dreaming cus it hurts so bad
When I reach out for you, Im alone in some room
I just never thought youd disappear
I still love you like a child
Wasnt that good enough?
I still want you, it drive me wild
The pain is just too much
Maybe Ive lost enough
Time heals all, so they say, I dont know
Sometimes nothings clear
Maybe someday Ill understand
But I know for a start
Theres a place in my hear that is yours
And it wont disappear
I still love you like a child
Wasnt that good enough?
I still want you, it drives me wild
The pain is just too much
I still love you

Shadow
Your body's warm but you are not
You give a little not a lot
It could be love until we kiss
You're all I want but not like this
I'm watching you disappear
But you, you were never here
CHOURS
It's only your shadow,
Never yourself
It's only your shadow,
Nobody else
It's only your shadow,
Filling the room
Arriving too late
And leaving too soon.
And leaving too soon.
Your body gives but then holds back
The sun is bright the sky is black
Can only be another sign
I can not I keep what isn't mine
Your laughter, it lingers on
But you, you were almost gone
CHOURS
It's only your shadow,
Never yourself
It's only your shadow,
Nobody else
It's only your shadow,
Filling the room
Arriving too late
And leaving too soon.
And leaving too soon.
How can I tell if you mean what you say?
You say it so loud but you sound far away
Maybe I'll have just a glimpse of your soul
Or was that your shadow I saw on the wall?
I'm watching you disappear
But you, you were never here.
CHOURS
It's only your shadow,
Never yourself
It's only your shadow,
Nobody else
It's only your shadow,
Filling the room
Arriving too late
No, no, no
It's only your shadow
It's only your shadow
Nobody else
It's only your shadow
Arriving too late
And leaving too soon
Oooh.
It's only your shadow.

With Time Your Voice Grew Faint
With time your voice grew faint
as if it wants to disappear forever
and sometimes you still appear in dreams
as if you are only daring it at night
and then for moments visits me
as if you are longing for the land where the sun shines.
With time your voice grew faint
as if it wants to disappear forever
and this nightly meeting
I sometimes really want
and sometimes I want to avoid it,
as it again brings pain;
with time your voice grew faint
as if it wants to disappear forever.

The Wounded Self
If I could be my ego death
The pain of love could be outrun
I could forget
The distance of your womanhood
To peace succumb
Dissolute and self-effaced
No mirrored shadow of desire
I could achieve
Sunder of hard material
Breakdown of inner pride
The wounded self seeks healing
To wholly disappear
But necessary still to rise
To bear the weight you find to be
Too heavy to ignore
Buried by a hail of tears
Offshore. And I meanwhile
Devout and strong
Bowed to my need, approach
The self-abandonment where I belong.

In A Daze
I take another hit
off my cigarette
And I take a look around
And I can't help but think
There must be something in the water
It's like we're apart of the dope show
There's so many weirdos
and druggies here
It's almost like
this place is a sinkhole for them
It's almost like people come here
To just disappear into oblivion
We just grow older
and colder by the day
We all stay in
the shadow of life here
We take the drugs and disappear
Into some cultural time warp
I have to get out and soon
Before I become one of them
Or am I already one of them?
Far From Here
Sat under that old Oak tree
watching the day pass me by
thinking of how we use to be
in a time not meant for you and me
Said I'm going far from here
got to be something better out there
more than what we show in fear
where I can watch the setting sun disappear
Going to where the wide river's flow
a place only God will know
on a mountain all covered in snow
where the desert shines down below
Said I'm going far from here
where no one else is near
underneath that burning sky
where nothing never seems to die
a place you never have to try
Going to where the Eagle's fly
where no one seems to shed a tear
in the shadow of the night
you can see the star's shining bright
away from that neon light
where the Wolves run wild and free
And I'm going far from here
to a place you never wonder why
where there's no wrong or right
just the beauty of nature in my sight

Where The Streets Have No Name
I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name
I want to feel, sunlight on my face
I see that dust cloud disappear without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building
Then burning down love, burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you...
It's all I can do
The cities a flood
And our love it turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
We're trampled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the steeets have no name
Where the steeets have no name
Still building
Then burning down love
We're burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do

Hear My Affirmation Of Love
hear my affirmation of love
beauty bound love
within beauty heart
is an eternal aspiration
pure divine inspiration
divine aspirations never cut
break hope fallen fear depart
wash out life dirt
wash out life hurt
wash out disappear dark
wash out pain wound mark
wash out pain wound in heart
wash out life curse bitter part
rise in ashes rebirth bright light
rise as lighthouse beacon in night
rise to sow love seeds pure bright
rise as phoenix reborn to new life
rise conquer disaster adversity strife
rise as consecrated bread wine sacrifice

Lay Down And Die, Goodbye
Beautiful flyaway
Somewhere like Holy Days
Wonder what brought me back to earth
Haven't I always been here
Let's take another near-beer
Later I think I'll disappear into the bishop's hall
And take a look at what we offer
DDT poisoning me changing my relativity
What's it going to be
Later I think I'll disappear into another room
And take a look inside the till
Lovely days, human ways, journeys that take us to the end
Haven't we always been here
Sharing one love and one fear
Some day you'll know that life is really, really all about you
So come and look inside
You'll be surprised to find
Later I think I'll disappear into another womb
And take a look inside the mens' room
Haven't I given you everything that I could give
Where do you live
You are the only censor.
If you don't like what I say, you have a
choice. You can turn me off..
If you don't like what I say, you have a choice.

Dreaming As The Tears Fall.
Dreaming of happy days.
Dreaming of that longing gaze.
Dreaming of that perfect embrace.
I'm dreaming of love always.
The greatest gift one could give.
Loneliness speaks of my weakness.
Vulnerabilities open like a wound so sore.
A tear dropp falls forevermore.
Dreaming of happy days.
Dreaming of that longing gaze.
Dreaming of that perfect embrace.
I'm dreaming of love always.
The greatest gift one could give.
I feel so abandon by everyone.
I feel like no one cares.
I feel, I feel, I feel so much pain.
Please tell me why I am still here.
A purpose should never disappear.

I remember the past so vividly.
But still it isn't now.
A singled out cloud.
The sun is burning him out.
Oh how he wishes darkness would surround.
Dreaming of happy days.
Dreaming of that longing gaze.
Dreaming of that perfect embrace.
I'm dreaming of love always.

A constant reminder of the just like before.

The storms of Life
Sometimes sad things happen in our life
they flare up suddenly and cause us strife.
The barriers that we put up against the flow
break down in floods of tears and sorrow.
Troubles fall like raindrops pelting down
welling into a flood in which we might drown.
We do our utmost to cope with the strain
but so many hurts cause our soul much pain.
Like in storms the raindrops seem really huge
and they gather into an irresistible deluge.
They test the fortitude of our minds defence
and when they burst through the pain's intense.
As we lay in bed in the early hours of the day
we cannot withstand them to our dismay.
They come crashing in like a forceful torrent
causing tears to flow out of us as we lament.
We cry out in anguish great sobs of sorrow
at the pain that comes as we work them through.
Our hearts despair at the turmoil that they bring
overwhelmed, we feel unable to do anything.
We become less resistant as the years go by
unable to withstand them and we wonder why
our human frailty is being tested to this extent
straining under the weight of our predicament.
We feel the deep hurt and the pain they bring
and would rather live in a world of no suffering.
They add to the burden of each passing day
and we would that they were banished away.
Sorrows well up from deep within our soul
as the anguish and suffering takes it toll.
It reminds us of the great 'Man of Sorrows'
who feels all our heartache, pains and woes.
'Come to me Oh weary one' Jesus said
'lay down your burdens at my feet instead.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light
you'll find rest for you soul, it will be alright.'
We rise up from our bed of pain and gloom
and find our way to that blessed upper room.
There we sit at the feet of the Lord and cry out
wondering what these sufferings are all about.
We lay our burdens down at His feet there
knowing He understands, we rest in His care.
Then we pour out our soul and to Him reveal
the deep sorrow and the sadness that we feel.
The storm subsides and the sorrows cease
as He brings to our soul that heavenly peace
and the healing balm that only He can bring
permeates into the depths of our inner being.
We feel Him lifting us out of our despair
as we rest in the sanctity of His presence there.
We look up and gaze into His wonderful face
and feel deep healing of our soul taking place.
His arms enfold us in His love and we can sense
the preciousness of His wonderful presence.
We rest awhile held in His loving embrace
as peace returns and deep healing takes place.
The sorrows of the world will always be here
they dog our steps and will not just disappear.
But with the Lord these troubles do not defeat
because we can lay them there at His blessed feet.
But this earthly life we live will not always be
and a time will come when our soul is set free.
And in that heavenly kingdom where Christ reigns
God Himself will remove our tears and pains.
No death, no sorrow and no pain shall endure
and these earthly sorrows will plaque us no more.
They will be replaced by heavenly joy and love
as we stand in the presence of our Lord above.
To Disappear
I appeared here a while ago,
I had no say on the arrangement made,
yet rules say you're not allowed to disappear
until cancer or some other ticket allows you to fade.
personally I take offense to that,
it seems I'm a slave to the fates,
yet once I'm a ghost I can disappear at will,
but first I must pass through the pearly gates.
Who keeps track of this mess?
I watch logs disappear in my fireplace,
no trouble, no threats of Hell,
To disappear as a log goes rather well.

Symphony For Life
Stars are shinning in your eyes
And I begin to realise
That our path through times unbroken
Do you know what it's like
When a mirror never lies
And the truth remands unspoken
And we dance into the fire
'Cause our spirits take us higher
Do you feel me now
Burning like a flame
If you touch me
I may disappear
Floating through your eyes
How do we resist
The gravity of love
In the symphony of life
There's a place I've never been
Where there's angels gathering
and they talk about the future
When the simple things in life
Can do more to satisfy
Let the wisdom be my teacher
You can have all that you desire
But it may not take you higher
Do you feel me now
Burning like a flame
If you touch me
I may disappear
Floating through your eyes
How do we resist
The gravity of love
In the symphony of life
Symphony of life
Do you feel me now
Burning like a flame
If you touch me
I may disappear
Floating though your eyes
How do we resist
The gravity of love
In my symphony of life
Yeah Yeah

Phoenix From the Flames
Silence shields the pain
So you say nothing
Feel they've rigged the game
And you're done with lovin'
Only you can see the darkness in the northern lights
Phoenix from the Flames
We will rise together
They will know our names
Can you feel it
Shelter me from pain
I always wanna feel this way
Oh yeah
Just like a Phoenix from the Flame
Wish they'd take you back
Cos you miss heaven
Too many bags to pack
So leave them where they are
Tonight you're flying on a golden dream
Phoenix from the Flames
We will rise together
They will know our names
Can you feel it
Shelter me from pain
I always wanna feel this way
Everybody's talking
Nobody's listening
Too busy thinking about what you've
Been missing
Everybody said you're gonna take it
Too far baby now
Well come on
When you're done with lovin'
It comes down to nothing
Can you feel it
Can you feel it
Can you feel it
Phoenix from the Flames
We will rise together
They will know our names
Can you feel it
Shelter me from pain
I always wanna feel this way
Oh yeah
Just like a Phoenix from the Flame
Phoenix from the Flames
We will rise together
They will know our names
Can you feel it
Shelter me from pain
I always wanna feel this way
Oh yeah
Just like a Phoenix from the Flame
Why don't you come and deny it
You know you can't deny it
I always wanna feel this way
Just like a Phoenix from the Flames

Lets take a blast to the moon, baby.
(Ill sit around wishing you well).
How Im craving you, yeah.
Every time Im near you
(I always wanna swallow you down).
Ill be right here if you need me.
In my life, Ill need you here.
Dont ask why Ill never disappear.
Why is it every day
That I feel the pain?
Oh yeah...
Lets take a trip to the stars far away.
Where were you when I was down?
Staring into the dead (dead).
My pain is caused by my pleasure
(and my soulmate lives in your body).
I cant get you out of my head,
It never goes away!
In my life, Ill need you here.
Dont ask why Ill never disappear.
In your eyes, you can bid me farewell.
Dont ever try to understand the situation!
Why is it every day
That I feel the pain?
(it always comes when I least expect it,
When Im looking for love
Always seem to be regretting it.)
Why is it every day
That I feel the pain?
Oh yeah...
Power to the pain...

Moment to Shine (Know My Name)
The pattern is there, it is striped like a candy cane
It is there because of you,
The scars are true, as true as the pain.
My mind is racing away from you,
You are the one that caused my agony, my sorrow,
The days are always the same never new.
The days always bring me to your feet,
I am your servant, your toy,
I do what you say and hide the pain, I hide in defeat.
You treat me like I am there for you to use,
All you do is tell me what you think, never letting me tell you
I only sit and listen as you ramble on, and i am used.
I want to rise above, but I cant loose you,
If i loose you i loose all my friends,
I'd be alone, completely, utterly, alone, never being able to start new.
So I sit and I listen, I sit in pain,
All i can think of is not loosing you, but if i don't then i'll loose myself.
I try to tell you, I try to show you, but you just call me insane.
I hope you'll notice my anguish, my sorrow,
Until then I will hide in your shadow, never seeing light,
I will sit and dread the coming of tomorrow.
Every day is the same, always the same,
You act like you care but then you tear me down, you shove me out of the way
So you can have all the light, all the eyes on you, it'll always be the same.
Like the lines on the candy cane every day is the same,
The pattern is always there, it shall not change, shall not fade,
Forsaken is my name I am abandoned, I am an outcast. Know my name
I sit in your shadow, I sit and wait,
For a sign, for a change, For the right moment
To show you who I am, to show you my meaning,
My moment to shine!
(the words of this are true, i await that moment.)

The Evil Shadow
Why is that shadow hanging over me
It does reminds me of the pain I had
I can't forget all these bad years
When I was sent down to Hell
I was punished all the time
No one didn't realize
I do not belong here with the maniacs
I should be in Heaven where the angels are
But now when I am here I will kill them all
And make the Evil disappear
I will make sure that they suffer
And leave all the pain that I have seen through
Now when It's done I will leave this place
And try to forget what they have done
I was punished all the time
No one didn't realize
I do not belong here with the maniacs
I should be in Heaven where the angels are
But now when I am here I will kill them all
And make the Evil disappear
Now I can see who the shadow is
It is the leader himself
I picked up my gun and I smashed his brain
Hope that will clear up my mind
I was punished all the time
No one didn't realize
I do not belong here with the maniacs
I should be in Heaven where the angels are
But now when I am here I will kill them all
And make the Evil disappear

My sister sorrow
that my tears would bring
healing to you
on the morning's brow
hanging on fragile
but steely
ropes of hope
and I will cry for you
till your night
is fully soaked
so let me fall down
in your darkness
let me share
your hours of salt
and water your
sister sorrow
for leprous moments
your pain I borrow
float with me
on clear tear streams
let me be the boat
that carries you
to healing hills
my sister you sow
my life in your pain
and therein a new day
for both of us will grow
