Floating Continent

|
Carried on through the breeze or even ferried across the seas
Languages dead and lost, the ancient wisdom we all forgot
Cities destroyed by time, beautiful ruins with tourist lines
This town that I call mine shares the same fate by divine design
Will they remember this 20 years after apocalypse?
Would it even exist? Or would my message be lost or missed?
Continue to persist but in this ocean you're just a fish
Trying to make that list?
Might as well scream into the abyss..

Living Woods
03:33
|

|
And the sea it shined like diamonds in the light of ever sun
And the birds they all fell silent when we arrived with everyone
And in the trees I saw a little light
I followed it to the forest, out of sight
Then the night it fell around me
All the light had disappeared
And the beasts the roam the darkness were moving in as I had feared
And in my head I heard a little voice
It told me not to be fearful but rejoice
寻寻觅觅 来去匆匆 没日没夜疯
你一路向前 无休无止 迷失了方向
我还在原地 吃着西瓜 看潮起潮落

转悠悠 悠转悠 转悠转悠
晕乎乎我绕着地球在转
有蓝天有大海伴随左右
微风吹阳光照心情美好
全世界走过后回头再看
不远处还有你等我回家
满眼中红橙黄绿青蓝紫
一起飞去探索未知宇宙

< P1. >
Drink to my health
Keep your sentiments to yourself
When I die there's another life to find
Sink in the depths of the deepest sea
In a trench
And i fight against the tide
I try and try and try
< P2. >
See them as they were
A king of old
See them as they are
A story told and retold
on the tip of your tongue and then gone
See them as they were
A genius child
See them as they are
Sick to death of life and fighting all the time
See them as they were
A living God
See them as they are
He still remains entombed
His name renowned
His legacy assured
See them as they were
An emperor
See them as they are
A frightened child who could not understand
The price in blood that stained his land
See them as they were
A poet king
See them as they are
An oversensitive and angry kid
Ashamed of all the things he did
See them as they were
A golden God
See them as they are
An overzealous man who though he held the power of God in his hands
< P3. (A) >
Its my ocean you breathe
Its the potion you drink
And the notion you feel is me
Way back when the flood began
I was such a younger man
Do you understand just what I am?
< P4. (A) >
Its a lonely mystery
A lonely mystery
This place has a haunted history my dear
Its a lonely mystery my dear
Hold 'em still for the surgery
This place has a haunted history..
< P3. (B) >
You draw circles in the sand
And you dream of distant lands
Was it ever in your plan to leave?
Far out to the ocean blue..
Feel it calling out to you..
Do you understand just what it means?
< P4. (B) >
Its a lonely mystery
A lonely mystery
This place has a haunted history my dear
Its a lonely mystery my dear
Hold 'em still for the surgery
This place has a haunted history..
< P5.>
Was I wrong to sing "In the void we're free." ?
Is it God or me writing my story?
How can I exist in a world so blissed?
And will I be sure?
Will my song endure?

Tower of Owen
02:12
|
|||
|
In a tower up in a floating country
On the peninsula by the raging whirlpool
Through the waterway..
And a tiny trap door
Going ten floors up..
The medusa is waiting for you
Then you take her head
Though she almost took yours
Then your companion jumps in the fames before you
And as you scream his name he will turn to face you
You see him say something..
But the words escape you
They do

Sanzhi Pod City

When I leave my friends I feel I leave them happy
But my thoughts attack me and apologies they come
Like a rushing river flowing from behind a dam
Pressure thats been building for 1,000 years or more
Though they reassure me there's no need to say these things
I repeat the process, better safe then sorry
But perhaps they're right
And its a far better plan to believe they care
And that they truly understand
All wasted time behind me

众生善 天人合 万物生死轮回
孟婆汤 勿忘喝 一解前世愁
朝朝暮暮 猛然回首 此生有幸再次遇见你
恩爱情仇 无始无终 解脱超越清净生命真永恒
如走散 请继续 走你该走的路
莫回头 望远方 寻迷失的我
朝朝暮暮 猛然回首 此生有幸再次遇见你
恩爱情仇 无始无终 解脱超越清净生命真永恒
梦醒天亮了 鸟儿鸣叫在窗前回荡
我迷迷糊糊 试图睁开眼睛看
只听见声音 温柔耐心地唱着歌谣
摇一摇 外婆桥
摇一摇 不见了

The Great Flood
05:13

Oh my little dove, its all love
Don't even try, try to hide
Oh my little dove, its all love
Don't even try, try to lie
Oh my little dove..
When the rain did come
And the flood..
We watched the tide rising high and come crashing down
All around
It covered the ground and blocked the sky
When the rain did come
And the flood..
By the time the sky was clear again
I looked around to find a friend
Seeing only you, I took your hand
And we went along to find the sand
And we sailed the seas til we found a beach
You know the story of my life is not so easy
Telling the story of our lives is not so easy
Its not so easy..
Oh my little dove, its all love
Don't even try, try to hide
Oh my little dove, its all love
Don't even try, try to lie
Oh my little dove..
You know the story of my life is not so easy
Telling the story of our lives is not so easy
Its not so easy..

Scattered ashes of our last ditch effort to be everlasting
I'm accepting that my fate is to fade away
But not today, not today
I'm in the way of something greater..
Trying to say that any day could be my last ditch effort to be everlasting
I'm standing on my tiptoes
Trying to see what lies ahead..
If they knew then they would tell me
Some things are better left unsaid..
I remember one past November..
Would would stay in
Drink the day away and say it was OK
Because tomorrow will be the same
I'm still insane
But for the moment I am floating
My atonement is in reach
I'm on the beach and they are standing next to me
They're standing on their tiptoes
Trying to see what lies ahead..
If I knew then I would tell them
Some things are better left unsaid..
