Sue's Song 04:13
lyrics
buy track
She thought she would be alone forever But then he came Her knight in shining leather Hot and hard was his steed It was not built for comfort but was built for speed She sat and wondered how much longer, she must cry From the shadows he caught her eye She smiled… She thought she would be alone forever But then he came Her knight in shining leather He walked up to her slowly Voice rasping, deep and low He whispered, Come with me, you need not be alone Without hesitation she climbed up behind him And they headed for that distant shore To a place where love never ends Where every man and woman call each other friend As they soared across the earth and sky She called out in her dying breath Oh beloved, I know that he is Death…

Where is my knight of the Rosy Cross I see him in my dreams I touch him with my mind Where will l find the knight of the Rosy Cross The knight of the Rosy Cross Five hundred years today He went far away left me here alone He never came back home My knight of the Rosy Cross The knight of the Rosy Cross Where is my knight of the Rosy Cross I see him in my mind’s eye His sword is brandished high The sun it shines from his eyes My knight of the Rosy Cross The knight of the Rosy Cross Where is my knight of the Rosy Cross When I him do find our souls as one shall entwine Me and my knight of the Rosy Cross The knight of the Rosy Cross

Love Song 03:16
lyrics

Just as Samson loved Delilah I love you with my soul, Just as Antony loved Cleopatra You have set my heart on fire, Just as Lancelot loved Guinevere I shall sail to your Avalon, I love you as I love the earth, l love you as l love the stars, I love you as l love the sun And I have only just begun. Just as Romeo loved Juliet I will die if I cannot walk by your side, Just as John loved Yoko For you I shall write my every love song, For I love you as I love the earth, l love you as l love the stars, I love you as l love the sun And I have only just begun.

Circles Of Stone 03:17
lyrics
buy track
I and my own true love Went to seek through circles of stone I and my own true love Went to find a way back home We visited that place Where Arthur dreams with his knights of Avalon We met an ancient warrior there Who told us to write this song He said that the defenders of England Sleep ‘neath circles of stone He said that when the last one falls We will be back home We went to visit Stonehenge Where we met a stone that cringed Every time a tourist passed by With ignorance in his heart and eye We met some fairy folk Who invited us into their home An ancient tree of Oak, that cried But we met the keeper along the way Who said we could not enter there today We could not enter Avalon until our thoughts were true We could not enter Avalon until our thoughts were both pure and true We could not enter Avalon can you, can you, can you?

Red Rose 06:19
lyrics

Red rose, stands alone He is not coming home! Fallen in the field, so dark so cold, None his hand for to hold Red her petals black her heart... She and her love torn apart He’s not coming home He has died alone On a foreign shore He has fallen in the name of war! Red rose, stands alone He is not coming home! Red rose, stands alone He is not coming home! He answered to the politicians call Those who would not choose to fall He has gone to fight a war So that there will be no more war In England there are those who long to hold his hand They have lost a father, brother, lover and son This was not how death was meant to come He was meant to live his life Bring joy to mother, father, child and wife Red rose, stands alone He is not coming home! She is not a rose at all But a poppy bearing witness To where the man did fall Remembered on the 11th month at the 11th hour of the 11th day His lifeblood reflected by this simple flower... Red rose, stands alone He is not coming home! Red rose, he stands alone And he is not coming home...

Kundalini Rising 10:29
lyrics

Slowly serpent rises in the vault of the flesh Indigo is the colour Indigo’s the centre going round, round, round. I become the world dancer I dance the dance of life The spirals within my hands Spin in opposite directions Enfolding me in a circle of light Slowly serpent rises in the vault of the flesh Red is the colour Red is the centre going round, round, round. I find myself within a tower Lightning strikes All illusions both within Consciousness and subconciouness Fall away… I awaken from the dream Slowly serpent rises in the vault of the flesh Violet is the colour Violet is the centre going round, round, round. Jupiter expands ever outwards The wheel of life turns I find myself at the centre Silent and still One with all existence Slowly serpent rises in the vault of the flesh Orange is the colour Orange is the centre going round, round, round. I am the sun From my heart Flows love eternal Overcoming all obstacles Penetrating every living thing Slowly serpent rises in the vault of the flesh Green is the colour Green is the centre going round, round, round. I become the empress Shield of love in my right hand Crown of stars upon my head I am the mother The mother of life Slowly serpent rises in the vault of the flesh Blue is the colour Blue is the centre going round, round, round. I am the high priestess Book of life in my hand My crown The moon As the wheel of karma brings the gifts Of every action Slowly serpent rises in the vault of the flesh Yellow is the colour Yellow is the centre going round, round, round. I become the magician Wand held high Universal forces flow through me Overcoming every subtle thing Penetrating every solid thing Slowly rainbow figure rises from the vault of the flesh Walks the highway of the stars One with the sun, mercury, Saturn, the moon, venus, Jupiter and mars… Let us walk the milky way Let us dance where angels play With Haniel and Gabriel, Tzadkiel, Kamael, Raphael, Auriel and Mikael… And yellow is the colour, blue is the colour, green is the colour, orange is the colour, violet is the colour, red is the colour, indigo is the colour, indigo’s the centre going round, round, round…

I Can Hear The Angels 04:30

Be still and listen to the silence Silence is so precious, pay time You will find peace of mind Join the angels .................. Ascend Jacob's Ladder There is nowhere more peaceful Than within yourself Eternity begins inside True friends mean the world to each other But a friend to the self is a friend to the world Hush, be still, Listen to the angels singing You are not alone Let us carry you home Can you feel the angels? A tremor in your voice They are whispering We have come to heal you Let us carry you home Be at our refrain In the whole ......................... The grace of the ................. ........................... Your life is not in vain You are not alone You are not alone We have come to carry you home
