RED DAWN
Lyrics by Daniel Roberts with Craig Birnie
Like some distant watcher he stands upon this hill
Detached, derailed from this world of his disabled
Turn away from this place, this race, this time
What once seemed lush now but in his mind
Turbines engage and through the red dust you pray
Journey onwards, inwards… don’t risk decay
Turn away from this place this race of mine
Or stay forever in time…petrified
Farewell to the red dawn, blue sky, summer rain
Farewell Sunday morn, memory mine
It’s time to leave this world behind
Farewell to the red dawn, blue sky, summer rain
Farewell Sunday morn memory mine
I will never pass this way again…
Check…….Safety first
Check…….Primary burst
Check…….Singularities link
Check…….Alternate Realities Inc.
Instrumental
“All Beta class units please report to deck Z immediately.
Please communicate flight plan with Alternate Realities Inc.”
Farewell red dawn
Blue sky
Summer rain...
Farewell red dawn

FURTHEST SHORE
Lyrics by Daniel Roberts
I’m taking a voyage to save my soul
It could be to anywhere at all
I don’t care much for the here and now any more
Just longing to touch the furthest shore
Another world has heard my call
So let’s sail into this days new dawn
Over the waves I feel it’s distant pull
Just longing To touch the furthest Shore… with you
Instrumental
Come and touch the furthest shore with me
We’ll climb the hill,we’ll find the golden fleece
And if we find it there upon the tree
Your journey’s over but your story’s just begun
Far beyond the reach of Heracles
Where Solon tells of kingdoms past
And precious gifts of Sophia lost in time
To new world climes do pilgrims trust
Come and touch the furthest shore with me
We’ll climb the hill, we’ll find the golden fleece
And if we find it there upon the tree
Your journey’s over but your story
Your Story’s just begun

HEAR THE RAIN
Lyrics by Daniel Roberts
Do you feel like you’re running to nowhere
But truth be told you’re running away
Just trying to find the words of your soul
Of your…
I heard some crying in a dark room
And through the mists I called your name
I keep on waiting for the light of tomorrows dawn
Instead I wake…
To hear the…
Rain…
Instrumental
Hear The Rain...

UNICORN'S LAMENT
Lyrics by Daniel Roberts
Substitute my name for that of a mythical beast
Now follow a path of purest jade
Head towards the fabled tapered spire high above
Where lie the splinters of my mind
See through my eyes this dance the stars above retell
A time where imagination dwells
A cavalcade of warriors past a bloated sun will ride
To recall the glory days again
It was a time that never was
A world defined by love and loss
Myth’s grand design forever lost
Come hear the unicorn's lament…
Instrumental
Look in my eye
And follow my sight
Come away with me
In the dead of the night….

GRAVELINE
Lyrics by D. Roberts with C. Birnie
I signed to a ship on the water
A crusade blessed by a bounty of grace
Captained we were by our master
And through the waves he led to disaster
Remember the smell of the powder and fire
We prayed for the guns as our priestly due
Yet she was the general, judge of our lives
Caught in the storm the fee for our choice
I suffered my time at the line of my grave
And died in a storm by the emerald isle
A ghost now I'll ebb on this water
And who will hear my tale...
Look…fire ships are burning!!
Broken bodies in water churning
Could this be a sign from Heaven
Folllow my lead now all ye brethren
Instrumental
And through the storms tempest winds we were scatter'd
When Gods on both sides does it matter…
I signed to a ship on the water
A crusade blessed by a bounty of grace
Pressed into service against my will
I died before my time...
A ghost now I’ll ebb on this water
And who will hear my tale...

WHILE I DREAM
Lyrics by Daniel Roberts
I - Deucalion
Asleep yet cannot die
Amidst this endless sky
Into the deeps I fly
With coma induced mind
And through it all I dream…
Dream a dream of stories told of
Unicorn’s tears and of shipwrecked souls
Voyages to a distant shore
Of hearing rain and of waking cold
And waiting for the light, the light of dawn…
Pray for the orders founding
A paradise with life abounding
Memories of Earth now long gone…
Journey to the promised land
We part the seas to cross the sand but
For 40 years for Earth now will I mourn…
And through it all
I dream…
II - Splinters of My Mind
Instrumental
III - New Dawn
"Alternative Realities Incorporated would like to thank you for travelling aboard the Deucalion. Please prepare for imminent disembarkation. We’d like to wish you well for your stay on New Earth"
Pray for the orders founding
This paradise with life abounding
Journey to the promised land
We part the seas and crossed the sand
No more waking to the rain
No more tears now, no more pain
For forty years now for the Earth did we mourn
Wake to the light of New Earth’s dawn
