Enter the Shining Realm
Under the Sun
Gravity’s a cage
Keeps us from the light
Punishing with Age
The Heart Churns the Blood
The Mind tries in Vain
To Understand the Why
Our World Lives in Vain
Enter the Shining Realm
A Song Echoes On
When We Were Born
Our Secret Names were Spoke
When our Flesh is Worn
Enter the Shining Realm

Temple of the Sun
I'm wearing Sumerian Sun God armor
as I rise and prepare for the dawn
we shed our skins as our rebirth begins
in the shining realm or souls live on
I'm on my way to the temple of the sun
These relics I wear ancient eye around my neck help me navigate the black magic lands
at the ending of time a place where all things combine we will make our final stand
I'm on my way to the temple of the sun

Lay Down Thy Sword
There in the shadow of the fallen Tower of Joy the Mystic’s journey had met it’s end
Two decades of war had honed his features into sharp edges of grief
The bones of his people lay bare in tormented repose
Their laughter, their wisdom, their songs forever silent
He unsheathed his sword, it’s alabaster finish gleamed in the moonlight
With a prayer he plunged the blade into the tendons between worlds
A tear in the skin of being wept ether, it’s membrane droned in agony
Then from the rift, surrounded by violet radiance came a thunderous melody and there she stood
The Weaver of the Dawn
She wore a crown of 13 Stars orbiting her prism colored hair
She said to the Mystic “Shatter your sword upon the Earth”
He Wept
Then with a song- she passed

A Pilot of Mortality
A body moves forward stitched to the bone
The Roads that we travel return to the Stone
Signs are divined to pretend there’s a way
Darkness and light divide the day
Rise like a Sun
Life will Erode When a New Day’s Begun
This journey’s a burden we hold in our breath
The way back is forward in life there is death
Words conjure meaning thought molds the void
The flesh is our murder the spirit destroyed
Rise like the Sun
Life will Erode when a New Day’s Begun
Shed all You Love
The Weight Holds You Down
When You Float on Above

BLEED A PRAYER FROM A STONE
A tribe had heard that long ago
A fallen God had burned the sky
The secret knowledge had been told
To the priests in their mind’s eye
The Holy men held the truth
Of the God trapped deep within
A giant stone was it’s tomb
The silence judging all their sin
Centuries passed- The God lay still- The Tribe waged war- To Serve His Will
Then one day a Stranger came
A hammer held in his hand
To wake the God Deep Within
The Stone must become the Sand
For Seven days the Stranger Kneeled- The hammer struck Its song did Peal
A crack appeared- the Rocks atone
The Stranger Bled a Prayer from the Stone

Across the Ocean
The phantom caravan makes its way to lands end
across the ocean shining realms within
Will you meet me there along the shore?
With tales of wonder, mystery, and lore

Amida

I travel the astral plane searching for a sacred place
beyond the realm of life and death
beyond the prison of time and space
The soul is entering the shining realm
Say his name and arrive!
Take hold of the golden mane and ride the demon across the abyss
into the pure land where all is happiness and bliss
The soul is entering the shining realm
Say his name and arrive!
Amida!
