Brother dear
part of me
left behind
separated
I know
I'm free
of the past
All I fear
part of me
mystical
shrouded and quiet
This frontier
part of me
time and space
ancient and distant
I know
I'm no fool, I know I’m not the universe
I know
I’m free
of my energy

Gemini

Gem, Gemini
Keep the voyager
In, In the sky
Brothers, beautiful
Oh my, oh my Gemini
Alpha lesser light
the first shall be the last
Beta burning bright
I do not understand
Oh my, oh my Gemini
Dioscuri
You dwell upon the Earth
Twins of Infinity
Tell me what you are
(Oh my, oh my Gemini)
You appear like fire on the mast
I can feel the water flowing past my hair
Are you real or can this be delayed?
I know better than to be afraid
I consider all the things you made
I remember all the things you said to me
And although I fear burning away
I know better than to be afraid

Mariner
03:27
|
|||
Pockets full of envelopes
I don’t know what I want
You will keep the coast
I may never swim again
Gauze is filling up your mouth
I know this is what I want
Gauze inside your abdomen
I may never swim again
Tell me time is made up
Trade with me the space we’re made of
There’s truth to find, examiner
Stay with me, o mariner
Stay with me, o mariner
Pockets empty out and now
The clouds will roll and empty out
You may miss them when they’re gone
I may never swim again
I may never swim again
Tell me time is made up
Trade with me the space we’re made of
There’s truth to find, examiner
Stay with me, o mariner
Tell me time is made up
Trade with me the space we’re made of
There’s truth to find, examiner
Stay with me, o mariner

Castor and Pollux
03:59
|
|||
You call me up
I answer with urgency
But play it cool
There’s nowhere else they’d rather be
We’re going out
We’re not alone, we’re two of four
Is this getting old?
Passing through another door
One has arrived
The other is in hot pursuit
I ask myself
Do you know? Which one are you?

Tyndarids
03:03
|
|||
O my children dear
beautiful and wise
this is not your home
those are not my eyes
O my children dear
nesting in the world
I am no protector
From the dogs of war
O tender ones
they sing this song
but they do not understand the words
But in this world
I’ve overcome
I bring not peace but instead a sword

Jupiter
04:32
|
|||
You slow down like you see an accident
You never did make it as a star out there
We are bound together though you're far out
We could go together through the evening air
You know you know you're important to me Jupiter
You cast a shadow when you show up
You want to be called by some other name
We all want to know if you stand on the ground
We always assumed things were gonna change
You know you know you're important to me Jupiter
I wanted to know your dignity
I was tired of storms every afternoon
We went out beyond the asteroids
We both knew things were gonna happen soon
You know you know you're important to me Jupiter
I feel you at night when i'm on the road
I hear you telling me this is not your fault
We all want a father and you are the Jupiter
We all all need someone to exalt

Prelude
03:26
|
|||
Far away from the earth
Out on the deep
Our lives were at stake
You were asleep
You speak to the night
The troubles cease
I slip through the waves
O come to me
Stars fell on your face
O come to me
Tell me that you believe
O come to me
|

Mars
02:56
|
|||
God of war
What is it for?
Who enjoys the end?
Do you kill
haphazard or with will?
Does it come around?
This red dirt
I cannot call it earth
Even it testifies
God of love
Rider from above
Tell me that you believe
in something up above
|

Another
03:18
|
|||
Arms outstretched
One to another
A man to his brother
You and I
One is the spirit
No one comes near it
Will you speak
Will you be silent
Peaceful or violent
Come to me
Like you're my brother
Like you're another
And i think all I do is let you down
I sing these songs i wonder if you hear a sound
All is calm whenever you speak to me
It's difficult to escape the gravity
I feel it now, i can feel the gravity

Phaethon 2
04:26
|
|||
Flashing light comes from your face
There is no darkness in this place
You’re the light in every day
Could I follow in your way
The hand of man, steady above
The Lord responding now in love
“I must warn you, though,
you will do whatever you want until the fall.”
Flashing light, it tans my face
Blistering and burning blaze
Weakness melts like fleeting days
The horses each pull their own way
The hand of man, failing above
The earth below, the ones I love
I must warn you, though,
I will do whatever I want until the fall
And I see it now
The earth ablaze, I’m underwater
Save us somehow
We are the spark, we are brothers
That north river
How I long to be inside it’s water
The earth takes a bow
The river brings us to each other

Venus
03:10
|
|||
Where would I be without you
I would have self-destructed long ago
Out there in the darkness drifting
How could I feel so crowded and alone
But I see my baby
Sending back my data sheets
Your the only one who knows
just how to read them
We are strange and similar
Tell me how do we make another life?
I’m weaker now than I was
Tell me do you want another life?
But I see my baby
Sending back my data sheets
Your the only one who knows
just how to read them

Mercury
Come to me
Tell me that you believe
