Fortune Teller

Verse 1
Morning, sunshine, I’ve been asleep for several years,
Are we dreaming? Keep believing it will all be fine.
Chorus
I know that I must take my time to get to know you so long.
I know that I should take my time to get to know you so long.
I know that I must take my time to get to know you so long.
I know that I should take my time to get to know you so long.
Verse 2
When they say that yesterday was a better one,
don’t feel sorrow, here’s tomorrow and your colors shine.
Chorus
I know that I must take my time to get to know you so long.
I know that I should take my time to get to know you so long.
I know that I must take my time to get to know you so long.
I know that I should take my time to get to know you so long.
Bridge
When you say you loved me,
was it within your heart?
Hold and be still.
Is there anything?
Is anything even real?
There’s an answer inside.
Fortune wakes from the night.
What is to come?
Is there anything?
Does time wait for anyone?
Verse 3
Now the past would never last as the future stays,
how the tides turn, only we learn when we come to align.
Chorus
I know that I must take my time to get to know you so long.
I know that I should take my time to get to know you so long.
I know that I must take my time to get to know you so long.
I know that I should take my time to get to know you so long.

Witch Hazel Brew - Pt. 1
05:55
|
|||
Incantation
Witch hazel brew, peganum harmala
azurescens, amanita muscaria.
Witch hazel brew, valerian,
biga megwa, in incantatem.
(Ut, lytel spere, gif her inne sy!)
Section A-1
Here ye, sire, let me weave a tale,
a tale of riches witches stole,
candle maker and a humpback whale,
whale who ate a fisher’s pole,
ocean froth, funny fable told,
fable of an old man’s cold
left remains from the days of old.
old as gypsy’s weight in gold.
Travel far to a distant land,
land corroding in your hand,
mammal washed up onto the sand,
stretched out like a rubber band,
candle maker stares into the sky,
shakes his fist and wonders why?
Shiny, shine, gonna to catch your eye. Oh my!
Section B-1
Can you tell me how, pray foretell?
Is there a better way to know yourself?
Section A-2
Lend your ear, for a yarn to tell,
tell us how the city fell,
penny coins down a wishing well,
wish for her to break the spell,
candle maker stares into the sky,
sees them ripple off to lie,
Shiny, shine, gonna catch your eye. Oh my!
Section B-2
Can you tell me how, pray foretell?
Is there a better way to know yourself?
Section C
Eyes, eyes open wide,
to look inside,
and you will find you once
were a king in a past life,
such joy it brings,
deep, cuts the knife.
Section D
Peace o’ unto thee,
thy mortal coil cries.
I would never,
I would never,
screaming before the ego dies.
Life begins with you,
the devil pays his due.
I would never,
I would never,
Freedom is born in solitude.
Incantation
Witch hazel brew, peganum harmala
azurescens, amanita muscaria.
Witch hazel brew, valerian,
biga megwa, in incantatem.
(Ut, lytel spere, gif her inne sy!)

Nightshade Veil
09:36
|
|||
Verse 1
Hark, the herald’s trumpet call,
when all the leaves will fall
and lonely doldrums sigh
Chorus
Only in whispered words.
Tell me to understand,
only in whispered words,
Tell me to understand.
Verse 2
Aye, the captain called to sail
beyond the nightshade veil,
where holy angels cry
Chorus
Only in whispered words.
Tell me to understand,
only in whispered words,
Tell me to understand.
--
Interlude
Dark grows the night.
--
Verse 1
There is a light in the sky
a ray of sunshine,
it dissipates into the hazy cloud line.
And with the sparrow you’ll fly
away to some time
before the rain had come to sway the moonshine.
Slipping into the night,
that beauty of mine
will show the way unto
a better morning
now go with warning
to know the difference.
Another morning,
now go with warning
to know the difference.
Another morning will bring
remains of nighttime,
stars are scattered all across the main line.
Waiting for you to sing,
that beauty of mine,
to show the way unto
another morning
now go with warning
to know the difference.
Another morning,
now go with warning
to know the difference.
--
Verse 1
Hark, the herald’s trumpet call,
when all the leaves will fall
and lonely doldrums sigh
Chorus
Only in whispered words.
Tell me to understand,
only in whispered words,
Tell me to understand.
Verse 2
Aye, the captain called to sail
beyond the nightshade veil,
where holy angels cry
Chorus
Only in whispered words.
Tell me to understand,
only in whispered words,
Tell me to understand.

Verse 1
Gentle wind comes wrapped around the sun,
Can you take me to the garden?
Red fox doze while rabbits on the run,
Can you take me to the garden?
Chorus
Once you’re there,
left and a right,
you’re going to go downstairs,
walk outside and then you turn around,
look behind ya.
Verse 2
Fawn, who seeks hibiscus from the vine,
Can you take me to the garden?
Wanton leave your forest through the pine,
Can you take me to the garden?
Chorus
Once you’re there,
left and a right,
you’re going to go downstairs,
walk outside and then you turn around,
look behind ya.
Bridge
Tie me down, tie me down, down to the ground.
Verse 3
Gentle wind comes wrapped around the sun,
Can you take me to the garden?
Red fox doze while rabbits on the run,
Can you take me to the garden?
Chorus
Once you’re there,
left and a right,
you’re going to go downstairs,
walk outside and then you turn around,
look behind ya.

Hieronymus Bosch
07:47
|

Verse 1
Wondering by the way
where a specter would soon return
from whence it came
so unafraid.
Moving through the day
like a brush stroke through lily white
in a grand parade,
its what they made.
Chorus
In turn, you will see,
when the canvas paint would fade away.
Only then will you feel you have
made it back home.
Verse 2
Creeping in between
all the dry cracks of a maniac's
ever lucid dream,
torn at the seams.
Looking for a sign when
an albatross with a pocket watch
couldn’t tell the time,
pay him no mind.
Chorus
In turn, you will see,
when the canvas paint would fade away.
Only then will you feel you have
made it back home.
Bridge
When the early dawn rises and heaven is falling.
When a pale waning moon from the sky is departing.
There’s a color that man’s never seen before.
Now its there in your eyes and the willow is weeping.
Verse 3
People made of clay
all surrounding you with super glue
they have hell to pay,
let’s run away.
Far past the beyond
where a soldier plays a fife,
ode to the end of life,
nothing else to say.
Chorus
In turn, you will see,
when the canvas paint would fade away.
Only then you will be
as you once were younger, now remember your calling.
You will see,
when the canvas paint would fade away.
Only then will you feel you have
made it back home.
Coda A
Here in the garden of earthly delights,
praising the day and gone with the night,
out of the dark and into the light,
rounding the fountain, a wing taking flight.
One and the same, lighting the flame of candle you hold.
Feathers will flock and down by the dock a lion is sold.
Ear with a knife, you fear with your life, the steel is cold.
Deep in the well, you’re going to Hell, now do what you’re told. Assuming a shape to help create and fit the mold, Tried to keep up, but then I lost it to time.
Coda B
Sunshine showers will wash your worries away.
Sunshine flowers will smile at you long the way all day.
Sunshine showers will wash your worries away.
Sunshine flowers will smile at you long the way.
Sunshine hours will keep your troubles at bay.
Sunshine showers all day.
Verse 4
Wondering by the way
where a specter would soon return
from whence it came
so unafraid.
Moving through the day
like a brush stroke through lily white
in a grand parade,
its what they made.
Chorus
In turn, you will see,
when the canvas paint would fade away.
Only then you will be
as you once were younger, now remember your calling.
You will see,
when the canvas paint would fade away.
Only then will you feel you have
made it back home.

Tannis Root

Verse 1
Full bloom, in joyous occasion,
bring us the scroll of pharos.
Sing now the same incantation,
drink of his blood from a rose.
And I will travel the road you are on
with the minister’s only son,
when today has come slowly undone,
made a mistake, I’ll tell you tomorrow.
Verse 2
Its time to celebrate Samhain,
finding an heir to the throne.
With open face to the north wind,
chilling you down to the bone.
And I will travel the road you are on
with the ministers only son,
when today has come slowly undone,
made a mistake, I’ll tell you tomorrow.
Chorus
Fields all dressed in sun,
Now that Spring has come,
Summer shines her love,
Come, we’ll sing as one
on Tannis Day, Tannis Day, Tannis Day,
on Tannis Day.
Tannis Day, Tannis Day, Tannis Day,
on Tannis Day.
Verse 3
Come lay beside us in heaven,
burning a chalice of oil.
Give to the alter a question
receive all you can from the soil.
And I will travel the road you are on
with the minister’s only son,
when today has come slowly undone,
made a mistake, I’ll tell you tomorrow.
Chorus
Fields all dressed in sun,
Now that Spring has come,
Summer shines her love,
Come, we’ll sing as one
on Tannis Day, Tannis Day, Tannis Day,
on Tannis Day.
Tannis Day, Tannis Day, Tannis Day,
on Tannis Day.
Bridge
Dear goddess of light I’ve news to bring,
here, now I give you my offering,
Theres beauty born with everything,
A many life it is altering.
Carry your malice back to the lake,
There is no magic you should forsake,
Your hidden secret is tried and true,
Its within me, its inside of you.
Verse 4
Its time to celebrate Samhain,
finding an heir to the throne.
With open face to the north wind,
chilling you down to the bone.
And I will travel the road you are on
with the ministers only son,
when today has come slowly undone,
made a mistake, I’ll tell you tomorrow.
Chorus
Fields all dressed in sun,
Now that Spring has come,
Summer shines her love,
Come, we’ll sing as one
on Tannis Day, Tannis Day, Tannis Day,
on Tannis Day.
Tannis Day, Tannis Day, Tannis Day,
on Tannis Day.
