EDENBRIDGE LYRICS

1. First Light

We crossed the boundary
Time and again
It's late not early
On our terrain

When words have fallen
On stony ground
And barkers are calling
Still they're astound

When all the lights are down
Tomorrow will come

At first light, Nova dawn, Reunite
On and on

At first light, Nova dawn, Reunite
On and on and on and on and on and on

It's waiting to happen
It all went west
The rhythm we're tapping
Was just second best

And followed the skin game
The snakes in the grass
Remained in our shame
Breaking the glass

When all the lights are down
Tomorrow will come

At first light, nova dawn, reunite
On and on

At first light - I see daylight
Nova dawn - The road ahead
Reunite - It's the last card
On and on and on and on and on and on

It will stick out a mile
All abundantly clear
Leaving behind the guile
The faintness and fear

Burning the bridges behind
We will rise
Freedom is there to find
Before your eyes

Larger than life
I have faith
It will all come alive
Deep down in my heart

I have faith
Deep down in my heart

2. The Call of Eden

In the haze of ecstasy
The tension rises deep in me
Willing to believe you all
Promise me to catch me when I come to fall

First the lie it tastes so sweet
But bitter is the end
(The) illusion you're on easy street
On a tale you depend

I am high-flown
And I feel the unknown
You are not alone
So relieve your feelings

I am flying
I am always trying
And all worlds allying
The call of Eden

Don't wanna veer away from you
As I follow what you do
In your presence I can feel
And without you it all seems to be unreal

The verity at first daylight
So bitter it may be
Come and dare a second sight
Is your turn to be free

I am high-flown
And I feel the unknown
You are not alone
So relieve your feelings

Tears of my sorrow
And tears of delight
Mighty the downfall
Where powers unite

I am high-flown

(I am high-flown) And I feel
(And I feel the unknown)
(You are not alone)
(So relieve your feelings)
You are not alone, so high-flown, I can fly

(I am flying) Fly
(I am always trying)
(And all worlds allying)
The call of Eden

3. Hall of Shame

A feathered peacock in his robe
The flattering and luring promise makes you rise
A story goes around the globe
The haughtiness comes in disguise

Overwhelmed like never been before
Admiring what we can't simply see
Oh, how could we?

No one concedes
Blindness misleads
Casting a spell with a story in shine

Playing this game
In the hall of shame
All disbelieve but will follow the line

Shame

The tailor's cutting in the air
Makes a gown of clouds fallen from the sky
He paves the way to make him share
Reveal the truth behind the lie

The innocence is wondering aloud
We look behind the essence of the play
Now all they say

No one concedes
Blindness misleads
Casting a spell with a story in shine

No one concedes
Blindness misleads
Casting a spell with a story in shine

Out of the hall of shame
Out of the hall of shame

4. Down on Hollowed Ground

Down on hollowed ground
In rosy dawn
Is where we stand

A divine right
Until the cows come home

In quietude – Let nature take its course
To get its second wind
A second wind

Hear me cry
You took it out of my hand
Whatever disposed you?
Claiming my savage land

Conjuring spirits
And wish for peace
Was all our hope

But you just shook your head
Enshrouded in secrecy
To start our agony

Went rack and ruin
Before first light
Before first light

Hear me cry
You took it out of my hand
Whatever disposed you?
Claiming my savage land

My holy land
My holy land

5. Somewhere Else but Here

Afloating in the ages
Cannot realize
Learn to turn the pages
Who am to rise

I hear the rhythm pounding
The rhythm of my heart
In unison they're sounding
Come breathing and be part

Whenever you dream of me
Leavened by the lore
The beauty looking for

Imagine how you can be
When miracles appear
You're somewhere else but here – Here!

My way into the unknown
The undiscovered land
Passing on what I've been shown
Perception in my hand

Whenever you dream of me
Leavened by the lore
The beauty looking for

In reliance wherever I land
Be hold, carried and journey on
No train and no burden in hand
The rails of ideas will be finally gone – Gone!

Whenever you dream of me
Leavened by the lore
The beauty looking for

Somewhere else but here!

6. Freedom is a Roof Made of Stars

Within the corridors of power
Within a life in the raw
Right into the eleventh hour
Searching for the last straw

The fear of others has never the right
Degrading you to the bone
Abandoning your inner shield
A heart full of stone

There no gain in this safety
Ain't no land of the leal
Staying for endless eternity
Short-winged hanging in the wheel

Free as a leaf in the wind
We like to be bound
Who can imagine this need?
The essence not found

Who is not ready to leave the shoreline
And who is not willing to heal the scars
Cannot find a new land and realign
'Cause freedom is a roof made of stars

Canopy
Lunar sea

Come explore
Furthermore
Come to light and rise – Rise!

Who is not ready to leave the shoreline
And who is not willing to heal the scars
Cannot find a new land and realign
'Cause freedom is a roof made of stars

7. Arcadia (The Great Escape)

Can we start again?
Can we raise an era?
Who are we who reign?
Blinded by the fear

Just a rope of sand
Makes the world go round
Lost and out of hand
The coda in the sound

Far into the silence
The resonation stays
Abandoning the violence
The exit from the maze

Time is out of joint
Reason is a loanword
Where's the counterpoint?
(In the) Symphony unheard

The stories have been told
By wolves in the fold
Sailing on the fairway of a lie

They came to tear the grace
And show a changing face
A lurid cup of hemlock they supply

Far beyond the afterglow
When all around is touch and go
For as long as the waters flow

Hold on, dream on
A light from afar
Be on, the great escape
In Arcadia

The change of paradigm
The hills we have to climb
Great escape, the riddance is our way

Into cascading light
An innervated sight
A long decisive turn, the place to stay

Far beyond the afterglow
When all around is touch and go
For as long as the waters flow

Hold on, dream on
A light from afar
Be on, the great escape
In Arcadia

Sailing, sailing, sailing, sailing coming home

8. The Road to Shangri-La

We face a lost horizon
The end of all we know
The dogma all pervasive flow

The haste and all the restraint
Riding for a fall
The shallowness has kept us small

We're all in dire need
Of help to come
Back to affinity
To finally come undone

The powers of perception
Have often gone astray
A down-right shame, the price to pay

A storm so punishing here
Will bring the about-turn
To go the distance and return

We came from miles around
With hopes that never died
Closely guarded secrets
In mystery they're attired

The road to Shangri-La
The last realm of the soul is a mystery
The spell of Shangri-La
An Arcadian dream can be our treasury
An Arcadian dream can be our treasury

The road to Shangri-La
Road to Shangri-La
The land behind the times is a mystery
Time is a mystery here
The peace of Shangri-La
Shangri-La
Is a mental gem of men without boundaries
Shangri-La

9. The Bonding (Part 2)

[I. The Bonding Overture]

[Instrumental]

[II. Alpha and Omega]

The one
I am the one and all, I am the sight unseen
Iridescence around and everything between
As I was always there, as I will never leave
The name you all bear, the morning and the eve

I change in every moment, I am the twilight zone
And in the song of ever, I am the timeless tone
I am beyond the alpha, beyond the omega
And in the dome of the sky, I am the brightest star

The disbeliever
You're not in a hazy memory – No!
You are invisible to me
Better follow the commonly held array
Better living a lotus life, so they say
Oh, they say

I am immortal, the light in the dark
Timeless and unborn
The ever-changing form

I am the nature, the reason for all
The greatest pulse of light
The power to unite

I am the glory for so many years
And when you arrive you will know

The one
I am the basic reason, the well of it all
I am the timeless now, the one you will recall
Like an endless ocean, I'm non-duality
All unaffected, in the heave of the sea

The disbeliever
No, there is none beyond the grave – No!
Tells the master to his slave
So you have to come down on my side of the fence
So you better take your only chance
Take it!

I am immortal, the light in the dark
Timeless and unborn
The ever-changing form

[III. The Eleventh Hour]

[Instrumental]

[IV. Round and Round]

The one
Do you wanna drown in all your pain?
And do you wanna take my name in vain?
Why do you believe the sky would fall?
Within your narrow bounds
Can you hear my call?

The disbeliever
Who can count, describe, comparing you?
You always vanish as I look into
Pretending you're aware but can't explain
Just like a falling star, worlds apart remain

The one
Why do you resign to your own fate? (Oh, my fate)
The looking glass will reinforce your hate
Dividing your world into friend and foe
Come and dare a glance, at the scenery below

The disbeliever
Oh, 'round and 'round, the abyss in me
I'm fighting against the fall, in my endless misery

The one
I can see your overwhelming pain (Oh, my pain)
To leave the shell is taking all your strain

The disbeliever
'Round and 'round , it's all coming down on me
I stand out to lose the ground,
Free me from this slavery

The one
Bearing down it all makes you believe (Makes me believe)
It's devastating you and I can feel your grieve

[V. The Timeless Now]

Both
Out of time
The wheels turning on and on
As far as the eyes can see
And far beyond all it's me

I will rise
High-flown into the skies

The disbeliever
If I could only

Both
Come to know
Letting the spirit flow

The disbeliever
I let the spirit flow
Oh, I will let the spirit flow

Both
Then we are aware
The bonding is there
The timeless now
