The wheel of fortune rolls round and round for all of us the king will become beggar in his time if the wheel of fortune rolls up and down for all of us the king will break his back and i will mine the kings will fall from the towers that we built for them the halls will lend their air to silver birds and beneath the mother luna always watching us a tale re-tongued in the tombs of mother earth the mage relearned all the powers that were lost to us a kinship once again with man and word and beneath the mother luna always watching us a tale re-tongued in the verse of mother earth the clay man in the kiln moulded to a lover, new moon the clay man in the kiln transformed in the fires of the heart, this new moon the wind cooled you down and the sun warmed you back up again and the water rose to accomodate your thirst but now your bodies are burning and your cities drowning cause you chose to divide the herd

Emperor 06:18
My brother emperor, where did your heart go? your kisses are rough like a cats tongue what happened to our home? you cut it all up and made it all square like the perimeters in your head you're not my emperor, my emperor mmmm One emperor, one emperor sitting on his throne governing one kingdom, one kingdom stern lipped as a stone i show you my truth, you show me your shield dogma has hardened round your heels you're not my emperor, my emperor mmmm You don't serve us We weep for the waters, we weep for the skies the people are angry we drink in the colours of war with our eyes bleed them out again crying, the crying is detoxifying if we do not cry, we ossify hardened, brittle, fractured and the people are angry, the people are angry brother you have lost your way what happened to our home?

Hanged Man 04:10
I believed in angels till i fell down the wrong side of myself Hanged Man He stands my dark side pulled me inside out hanged man the wrong way round my insight is upside down now my dark side has been called out The weather will drown out your sound the rest of you will not be found but the land hold memories of you I'll seek, you hide walked under the moon at the wrong time I don't play nice how dare you lie I'm a saint until i crack warrior behind your back Hanged Man Last dance

The Star 06:08
In his shining face you see a star-like freedom for the instance of a shooting star you see each other seeing the other in stillness in wonder before the inevitable decay it dissolves from the tail forwards that shining tadpole runs like prey into the black hole as time chases it perfect little head into black oblivion we are not left with the resolve of death just the memory of perfection and the knowledge of rest we are not left with the resolve of death just the memory of perfection, just the memory of perfection theres only one way for this to go and that is out into the felt tip hills before me layered and crossing in topographic longing, I see us kissing in the mouths of two rivers meeting thumb-tacs pin our silken bodies to the earth but our spirits kick like wind under sheets baby, your cloth clung to the bony ridges of me Wherever you go offer this love to the Original Keepers whose hands are made big enough to keep it In his shining face you see a star-like freedom for the instance of a shooting star you see each other seeing the other in stillness in wonder before the inevitable decay it dissolves from the tail forwards that shining tadpole runs like prey into the black hole as time chases its perfect little head into black oblivion you become that shooting star lighting up the blank space in my heart i wish i may, i wish i might get the wish i wish tonight

Lovers 04:57
What do you think... what do you think of falling in love... falling in love? What do you think of falling in love? is it impractical? is it enough? is it enough? what do you think of falling in love...falling in love? i learnt all that i know from loving you good and slow from loving you fast and not that well from fucking up i learnt to love you the way i do now and that will grow None of our lovers ever left they just became ghosts at the end of our bed looking happily upon us as we fall under the next one i wont ever really leave you i'll just become part of the way that you move why keep a guarded heart when you've got no one to lose? i learnt all that i am from holding one hundred hands from letting them all slip away like sand from clinging on i learned to roll like an ocean wave back forth and back again chorus x 3 Why keep a guarded heart? you got no one to lose you got no one, you got no one to lose you got no one to lose you've got nothing to lose...
