Starless (ep)
1. Starless
Dark skies - You don't look up
Secrets - You don't ask why
The flame burns, the world turns, the waves rise
You shut your ears from the noise that comes from deep inside
Your heartbeat against your chest!
It all starts here
Silence and sound
What is the earth?
A little fire to the black sky
A little fire to your whirlwind life to
Light the minds and shut the mouths
Stand still, breathe and set
A little fire to the right books
A little fire to the wrong men
We are
Starless - What is this world?
Starless - We are the eyes, we are
Starless - What is this world?
Starless - We are blind
Rejoin, rejoin with stars
Destroy, destroy the below
Rejoin, rejoin with your heart
Embrace, embrace the inbetween
Void with a form
So pitchblack the night
The light is between the stars in us
And there are words inside as there are worlds entwined
It's you and I - We are one pulse
The rhythm of the universe
Starts beating here
We're all of them
Eyes of the earth
We're the fire to the black sky
We're the fire to your whirlwind life to
Be with beasts and water
We're whole, our hands bare
A little fire to the right books
A little fire to the wrong men
We are
Starless - What is this world?
Starless - We are the eyes, we are
Starless - What is this world?
Starless - We are blind...
2. When Milk Runs Dry
Stop waiting at the window, mother
There will be no return
Just like the wind took the seeds away
You knew you'd have to cut
The blades, the bonds, the wire
The notion of yourself
And as the wind took the seeds away
I have become the streams
Das Messer schneidet tief ins Fleisch
My blood feeds the earth
Das Messer schneidet tief ins Fleisch
When hearts grow wild
We're of the same blood
The death of a child
Your love is a punch, pull, death and a cry
When milk runs dry
3. Godface
Come on!
Shake your hips and bite your lips
I am now a thousand of you
Come with me and bare your teeth
Your eyes are white like the dust
Of your bones and your beat up skulls
My mouth is an open gate
To sing songs of the universe
To play tunes of the spheres of the spheres of the
Godface! Godface!
You and I we're one as one
Godface! Godface!
Reaching out for the desert sun, come on!
Bury your heals and beat your thighs
And touch my wooden skin with your
Hands in the air and your face to the sky
We'll see an eye for an eye
I am you and we are one
One voice, to cry out bud
We'll sing songs of the universe
We'll play tunes of the spheres of the spheres of the
Godface! Godface!
You and I we’re one as one
Godface! Godface!
Reaching out for the desert sun
Godface! Godface!
Your eyes are open wide
Godface! Godface!
You and I we’re one as one
We're high above and deep below
One voice, one tongue!
From mountaintops and black earth holes
One voice, one tongue!
We're star chasers, dream hunters
One voice, one tongue!
We’re the earthbound child and the fleshless god, we've got
One voice, one tongue, one throat
One mouth to sing tunes of the spheres of the spheres of the
Godface! Godface!
You and I we're one as one
Godface! Godface!
Reaching out for the desert sun
Godface! Godface!
Your eyes are open wide
Godface! Godface!
You and I we're one as one, come on!
4. Count To Ten
No place
No home
No light
Black marks on white
No place - The great planes
No home
No light - In darkness
I will become
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven eight, nine,
Ten thousand specks of dust
Ten thousand worms
Ten thousand blades of grass
Endless - The winding path
My earthbound flesh won't last
A lifetime goes by so fast
In the flickering light I close my eyes
As the years go by, go by...
This prayer is a six branched tree
Read aloud! Shout out!
Mouth to mouth! Ear to ear!
Lip to lip!
To the spheres of eternity
Not a song for the dead but for those
Who are willing to live 'til the end of time
Water carves the stone
And I stand alone, I stand alone…
Beside the six branched tree
Read aloud! Shout out!
Mouth to mouth! Ear to ear!
Lip to lip!
To the spheres of eternity
5. The Hunger
[Instrumental]
6. White Eyes
This place is the darkest inkblot
On these pages of starfilled nights
My eyes, always open
But I'm blind, so blind
This room it is filled with you
And serpentine mistakes
My mouth is always open
The hunger, the hunger
White Eyes
Black Heart
Take a long breath
To tell tales of the stones and the wind
Outside is the dream and the fall
From the edge of the world to an ultimate end
Inside the mothers' heart
The greatest gift of them all of them all of the
Knife and the blade that cut away
Like sunbeams' light through green
Shine black the rays through white eyes
On the pathways
To the feather of the fowl
To the worm's tail
On the deer's hoof
To the sky and the earth
And the stardust in between
To the worm's tail
And the boar's teeth
That dig through truth
7. Shaman's Dance
Pour blood into fire
The pounding of drums, the heaving crowd
Screams getting louder
Like beats of the heart
Up and down, left and right, no center to turn around
Dismember me, oh journey of a million forms!
Treading into the Nightworld
Lightly though fast
Leaving behind the threshold
The word that won't last
Up and down, left and right, no center to turn around
Mother - Open my eyes
Father - Close them again
Mother - Take me to light
The center and the other side
My hands and my arms and my fingers are crossed
I open my mouth and it's gaping with lust
Uncertain life but certain death
Dancing the dance on the carpets of sweat
Entangled in trance I am your most wicked dreams
Wet with life from the eclectic streams
Come on, feel and see the horror of the shaman's dance
Join in the humming sounds
And feel the wicked love for death and life
Take my tongue and
Cut my thumbs, bark and howl
Eat the earth
Two becomes four, the beast it turns
Up and down, left and right, no center to turn around
I'm the shape shifter, I’ll turn spirit and matter to one!
Break through the circle
Stand still like a rock
Though I am here and there
Silence and sound
The place between time I have found
Up and down, left and right, my center to turn around
Four becomes two and two becomes one
The journey will end at the places unseen
High, so high to the truth in between
Death and life, up and down
Follow the path to the heart of the world
I dance to the sky and leap up the clouds
Dig through the dust and onwards I go
Up and down, left and right
To the center and the other side
8. Silence And Sound
[Instrumental]
9. Earthborn
Earth to earth, moon to moon
Locked eyes
As the sun rises
There's a cry before the cry
Like the shot of a gun before the bullet arrives
But it arrives
Like seeds grow in soil
And there's a cry before the cry
When you know that you're alive, ‘cause you are
Earthborn - You are all
You are not mine but I am thine
Earthborn - You are the dark blue sea
I am of you and you're of me
Closer
Come Closer
“Thou art the dark blue bird and the green parrot with red eyes.
Thou hast the lightning as thy child. Thou art the season and
the seas. Having no beginning, thou dost abide with immanence,
whereof all things are born.”
[Excerpt from the Upanishads]
A heart of salt
A crystal tongue
And eyes of gold
The tidal one
Far away, far away
But we're here and we hear
Down from the skies to your
Rivers and your hills
Calls the cry before the cry
The call of life, you are
Earthborn - You are all
You're not mine but I am thine
Earthborn - You are the dark blue sea
I am of you and you're of me
10. Limbo
A guest without a host
In a prison without bars
With a key that locks
The eyes
And freezes the blood
And opens the eyes
And heats the blood
No sky above
No ground below
But a sign in between that reads
Limbo
