HOLOCAUST LYRICS

1. Hypnosis Of Birds

We cross the Rubicon at birth
The point of no return no return - has come and gone
(Goodbye)
Remote and so alone so alone
The fear of evermore of mortal immortality
No degree of trance will regain the liberty of the void
I heard you in my deep sleep
There is no sleep so deep I would not hear you there
And now hear the fool...
She is a curious light on the horizon a focus for future dreams
She will meet all of my failure with a soothing kiss...
Too much, too much space for folly, for nonsense,
This gigantic naivety ruled me.
Chorus at dawn
Find it all gone
In spite of all that s said and done, the complications run
It all makes simple sense in the end,
We all need to hold and need to be held.

2. The Tower

Volcano under me and moonlight's on my hands
Great wheel within my heart is grinding
Insidious, the yeast of bitterness
The dust of eons on the floors of empty halls
The sense of ashes under Earth
A life in conflagration old beneath the sun
The resurrection of the only son of God
Undone, the centuries of crime
The sure foundation and the mockery of time

Grand Lucifer, the deceiver of souls
Shining star
How great the fall taster of all mankind
Accuser Satan
Torn is the veil and the prince of this world
Defeated

The king of swords, the queen of pentacles
The queen of wands, the page of cups
The knight of cups, the king of wands
Two lost
One required
One desired
The knight of wands, the king of cups
The queen of swords, the knight of pentacles
The page of wands, the page of swords

(Rejection, rejection)
Crave the lovers
Crave the chariot
Crave the queen of cups
Crave the knight of swords
Chance the devil
Crave the judgement
Crave the tower

3. Book Of Seasons

Book of seasons
Written by the heavens
Age to age
Shadows on the ground

Sun and moon

Stone to stone
Unite man and weather
Age to age
Shadows on the ground

Sun and moon

Book of seasons
Written by the heavens

4. Mercier And Camier

"Alone he watched the sky go out, dark deepen to its full. He kept his eyes on the engulfed horizon, for he knew from experience what last throes it was capable of. And in the dark he could hear better too, he could hear the sounds the long day had kept from him, human murmurs for example, and the rain on the water."
[Mercier and Camier, Samuel Beckett]

5. The Small Hours

Look out at the darkness... and you will see
Just call my name and I'll be there
You cannot touch me... you would not dare
I am the chill that's in the air

And I try to get through to you
...in my own special way
As the barriers crumble
...at the end of the day

Dark rivers are flowing... back into the past
You are the fish for which I cast
And what of the future... what is to be
As the rivers flow into the sea?

And I try to get through to you
...in my own special way
As the barriers crumble
...at the end of the day

Do not take for granted... powers out there
Don't step into the demon's lair
Time is an illusion... rising from time
Steep is the mountain which we climb

And I try to get through to you
...in my own special way
As the barriers crumble
...at the end of the day...

6. Into Lebanon

devil come under summer skies
holding bible holding koran

Iran Israel Jordan Syria surround her become her
Iran Israel Jordan Syria I hold you all before god
devil come under summer skies
holding bible holding koran
these are the days of turning tides
these are the days that bring the evil
and the dark affairs of men
Into Lebanon

crisis come hostages await
unknown terrors in the shadows
these are the days of turning tides
these are the days that bring the evil
and the dark affairs of men
Into Lebanon

kiss the sun hold it to your heart
taste the blood that will drown you
these are the days of turning tides
these are the days that bring the evil
and the dark affairs of men
Into Lebanon

see how the mighty are broken
see how they fall

7. Summer Tides

[Instrumental]

8. Mortal Mother

We are so small here on our planet home
A planet which in the fullness of time will be a solar vapor

Not ours to see
Millions of years
A hidden time
The sun was red
The earth engulfed
In our mortal mother

The solar furnace will burn on
When hydrogen is gone until a final moment

Then somewhere new
In space and time
A star is born
Will there be eyes
Will there be minds
There to receive it

9. Cairnpapple Hill

[Instrumental]

10. In The Dark Places Of The Earth

Out across the quiet earth
Run the corridors of power
Ancient spirits
Left a legacy here
Vast vibrations rise
From God's land and water

Psychic heroes of a long forgotten age
Reach back from the haunted places
Touch me – touch me
With the sound of hail on stone

And the daughters of the deep will call again
To the never failing rains
And they will bring new life
And the children of the rain will bless the sun
As he climbs up in the sky
Higher every day

As the centuries roll by
Will we lose the gift forever?
Blessed are they
Who commune with days gone by

And the dreams of many searching hearts
Will be crystallized in sleep
Never to come true
But the children of the night will bless the moon
As she waves at wanes and is reborn
Empress of the void

She was then as now

11. Caledonia

Wake up to a brilliant dawn
Cold air in my mouth
And the day reveals to me once more
Earthly paradise

And the spirits fly
In the morning sun
High above the fields of Caledonia

And the river sings to me
Timeless mountain songs
Of a race who held the energy of Earth
In their silent minds

And my spirit glides
By the ancient cairns
I would commune with Caledonia

So let the standing stones
Circle me once more

I will dream of Alba's ghost
In her womb I am
And bleeding from the source, the sound of souls
Lingers ever on

Jewel of Albion
You will ever be
I belong to you, my Caledonia
