lyrics

The Sun has left the sky my love
It’s time to close your eyes
Lie down and rest your head my love
Quiet your tired mind

The Earth’s forgotten by those restless ones
With stardust flowing from inside
But we’ve no need of greed my love
The dirt and seed provide

We hold it and it holds us back
This living paradise
If the future lives on barren rock
We’d rather stay behind

So let your weary limbs my love
Relax just for tonight
Fear no darkness far from here
I’ll hold you close and tight

For soon we must arise my love
To toil in life’s design
Take back the green remake the dream
For all of Earthenkind

(Spoken)
Sleeping, but standing
the horses flutter their lids;
stay apparatus, a rest and relax,
yet always ready to run–
sitting on the fence,
watching their still, grand forms
shimmer between cloud shadow.
No one but me
and the land beasts
inside the whispering wind,
but solitude is a luxury
I feel as the harvest bell rings.
No time to dream.
No time to plan.
No life beyond the dirt.
Trapped inside the atmosphere,
a destiny that is too clear.
There is Mira pulling at root,
she’s always been so strong.
But even for her I cannot stay
I need to travel on,
for time to dream
and time to plan
to find the life beyond.

We hold it and it holds us back
This living paradise
If the future lives on barren rock
We’d rather stay be–
