the Gnomon 02:05
1. The Gnomon (instrumental) inspired by: I cast a shadow. Through the gradual day Never at rest it secretly steals on; As must the soul pursue its earthly way And then no night be gone. But Oh, demoniac listeners in the grove, Think not mere Time I now am telling of. No. But of light, life, joy, and awe, and love: I obey the heavenly Sun. (Walter De La Mare 1945)

Sleepwalker 26:59
Old legends the silent prayer Master of illusion build the stairs To another world.... Sleepwalker touch the sky Holly truth and the lie Are just the cards she plays. Night visions in her mind Mooncats on the roof Watch her milky shade. Turns around - off the ground Off the roof and off the town Back to the dream she had. * She will fly to the moon She will see the great mysteries of the universe, Witness the mighty gods of Babylon Warming her with the rivers that burn. She will to fly to the moon (She will fly to the moon) And will cross all the magic circles of the universe She will bring day alive 2. to a desperate child The story that never ends. * He's standing here all alone in the rain - Growing up - more of the same In working rooms he spent each day Oh, so tired, but no one to blame. He's child of city and the heat His heart goes faster with the beat The more he tried to avoid defeat The more he sinks in the sand. He knows the score, he is player number one, But why it seems that no one sees it at all. Decoration of a TV show and he is part of it, Lurking in the shadow, but always in the hot seat. He climbs so high, always in time But never reaches the bottom line. Whylst laughing fading in the rain He feels nothing but the pain. * He was drowning early every morning, He was super king only for a moment, Like a shooting gun, only for a moment He was number one, One crazy bullet before it's done! * He keeps drowning early every morning, Then a super king only for a moment, Like a shooting gun, only for that moment He's still number one, One crazy bullet and then it's done! Old legends the silent prayer Master of illusion build the stairs To another world.... Sleepwalker touch the sky Holly truth and the lie.... ....................................... She step in to the mirror She has all the keys To another life. One step - the door is open One look and line is broken She's out of sight. * She will to fly to the moon (She will fly to the moon) And will cross all the magic circles of the universe She will bring day alive to a desperate child The story that never ends. * Mooncats in the corners She loves heavy water, Sing song in her honour She keeps her window open. Moonchild walks around, Within her hands silver coins, She wears black and white, Moon Princess afraid of light... She is off the ground now, We will meet again somehow... Within the dream, yes Sooner or later, sun will rise, Back home while mirrors are open. I see cats now chasing a mouse, Once was a secret now it's broken She is off the ground now, We will meet again somehow... Yes... Angels fly so high to protect our dream, I always be with you, we are the sun and moon! *(2 times)

Maybe we are different, But we are all mad, Walking the road into the darkest night, Saving the last that we have Maybe we’ll reach it tomorrow, And together we'll share our way. Welcome to the home of the beggars. Switch off your desert sun, Here all like the shadows, Here the story has begun. The Prayer of the broken heart Is written on the bottle from the beer. It’s all so similar to you, It’s all so similar to me. Maybe we'll both rise tomorrow And together we’ll share our way. Thru the veil of greed and sorrow We will start a brand new day! Maybe we'll rise tomorrow And together we’ll share our way. Thru the veil of greed and sorrow We will start a brand new day!

Just because you are mine Time no longer exists, You are so special Bringing joy into my lonely life. Just because you are near The sky above is so clear, When I was helpless You gave shelter to my broken heart, We shared a dream together from the start. You bring the passion, into my little world Remove all boarders - set me free, Our love will shine like gold! Just to feel you are near, All my fears disappear, You are so special, You shape the future; help me to believe, That I can win that I am no more a thief. You bring the passion, into my little world Remove all boarders - set me free, Our love will shine like gold!

On the road again Squares and market rush Busy streets We are so far away now, yeh -yeh! All that political stuff - Barking of those hungry dogs Now it’s gone, For a minute or two, when I’m with you. We will come through, ONLY TOGETHER! And you have nothing to hide, I get to feel so high! We are true keepers of the magic flame! Where sunflowers reach for the sky We'll dance, We'll sing of the dawn of the universe, We are the children of nature and the sun! As one, LIKE SUN! As one, No matter how, no matter why, As youngsters now we touch the sky! Way into the fields the river flows Deep in my heart I know! I had a dream when I was young - That I would be much closer to the sun! TO SEEK - TO LEARN! TO LIVE - TO BURN! And remain that child with an open heart! I can still recall so clear My father’s hands and mother’s eyes, Bright days without end, Long Journeys to our Promised Land, Fresh apples and blue cartoons An old piano and some simple tunes, The beauty taste of cheap cakes after school Only a child you cannot fool! With each summer came new songs, And I sang them to the world. The winter cold brought magic in the air, New years eve with the snow in my hair! I remember now I still can feel, The first morning kiss, It’s so-so real...!! Where sunflowers reach for the sky We'll dance, We'll sing of the dawn of the universe, We are the children of nature and the sun! As one, LIKE SUN! As one, No matter how, no matter why, As youngsters now we touch the sky! yeh - yeh! Far in the hills the forest grows Deep in my heart I know, I had a dream when I was young - That I would be much closer to the sun! TO SEEK - TO LEARN! TO LIVE - TO BURN! And remain that child with an open heart! Silver shades on the kitchen floor: "Do you want some milk? Would you like some more..." And the candle lights, like in a fairytale, During this night we were free - we were happy When we stood on the balcony, And the music that we heard, Was like our destiny. I looked into your eyes, I can remember now that night, Together with open hearts Brightly burned the light!

All these memories are so clear Yeh, we were young - we had no fear, Trying to shelter from the rain, We crossed the time on a midnight train. And the distant lights of the lonely station ahead, On the misty shore someone’s broken boat - so sad Don’t be afraid to loose Don't be afraid to give All rivers meet their sea, All stars will fall, While the wind blows It seemed that life would last forever And days like a puzzle, never ending game. The tide is gone - I’m out of water, Where is the place, which we call home? The midnight train - Is never-never late, The midnight game - The whole picture you'll never see. The midnight train On the road again, And no one knows where it goes. And the distant lights - lonely stations ahead, On the misty shores someone’s broken boat - so sad Don’t be afraid to loose Don't be afraid to give All rivers meet their sea, All stars will fall, While the wind blows..... While the wind blows..... While the wind blows..... While the wind blows.....

Wonderworld 20:46
Those paintings made of ghosts With visions from the past, You can feel them so clear. We took so many colours And sang them for the heart, Together on the icy road We`re keep moving from the start. For every place there is a colour, And each emotion owns a voice, We both know there is only one choice... Hopes and dreams, Like sunlit beams on coloured glass In your kaleidoscope, ... Oh and The door you chose, And the road you go from the start, Leads to WONDERWORLD! You always be young and free, No sugar in your cup of tee - It's your own choice. This you have learned from a far , It is just a Childs life through different eyes, You know who you are (You know who you are) Hopes and dreams, Like sunlit beams on coloured glass In your kaleidoscope, ... Oh and The door you chose And the road you go from the start, Leads to WONDERWORLD! For every place there is a colour, And each emotion owns a voice, We both know there is but one choice. (We both know there is but one choice) In this place of light and shades, Sooner or later the anger will fade, Neither winners nor losers, no place for hate, When we reach the end I know, you`ll take my hand, my friend... So! Where is this golden boy? With eyes so bright and heart full of joy. Who knows - what love really means today, Who can see a red heart from grey? Night from a day, Breeze from the Storm, Magic flame from a splash, Truth and the lie - which moment do we next play? Once we are used to playing adult games, No one’s concerned if you live life in vain. You can take! Or you can break it! We can choose another way to go. You can choose it! Or you can loose it! It’s really worth fighting for! Now is the time for another superstition, Plugged in and used to this mankind ambition. And the big EGO with its changing faces, Hmmm.... But what is our role In this rat circle races? And You know... And I know..... What is hidden in the heart of each desperate man... Once we are used to playing adult games, No one’s concerned if you live life in vain. You can take! Or you can break it! We can choose another way to go. You can choose it! Or you can loose it! It’s really worth fighting for! And the director switched off the lights, It’s time to create a new scene. So much is lost and left unseen, Was it - YOUR LIFE OR A DREAM? I guess i know why I found heaven in my stereo, Rock and Roll is my seventh sky, Tonight we’ll fly high and low. We will dine with the cosmic king On the right hand of his throne, We will build the stairs to another world, Where you’re no more alone... Finally she opened her eyes, Cool wind touched her face, With a new beginning time to rise, She’s finally escaped from that maze. Oh, My Darling, won’t you have another beer, Or would you like to dance? Lets switch off all revolutions in our minds, Yeh! And dive into the chasm of romance. Oh, Lord, we made this mindcrime! Oh, Lord, we fought against this time! But no one wins, within those walls, Seeking white cross our signpost, Somewhere between... Life and Dream! We are lost Somewhere between Life and Dream! Somewhere between Moon and Sun! ....Flesh and Gun! We are lost Somewhere between Rain and Sunbeam! Somewhere between Sunflower and the sky! ......Truth and the Lie... Roll the bones, while the fire is burning, Choose your own way, while the wheel is turning! You can choose Yourself! You can choose Yourself! You can choose Yourself! You can choose Yourself! You can choose Yourself! You can choose Yourself! Roll the bones, while the fire is burning, Choose your own way, while the wheel is turning! The wheel is turning! I had a dream when I was young - To be much closer to the SUN! TO SEEK!.....TO LEARN! TO LIVE!........TO BURN! You can choose yourself! You can choose yourself! TO SEEK!.....TO LEARN! TO LIVE!........TO BURN! You can choose yourself! You can choose yourself!
