BIRD OF PREY
(lyrics by Pegelia Gold)
once they told me
to traverse the desert wilds
might spread & satisfy senses unknown
i passed these hills
of ancient joys
there i’ve seen you in the whistling weed
like a fruit flourish upon the earth
then you shook the dust from your eyes
and with our howling voices we called
the ruler of the air
shall we cut the breeze
old bird of prey, bird of prey
shall we soar up higher
old bird of prey, bird of prey
shall we spread in the spheres
old bird of prey, bird of prey
shall we sway in the rays
old bird of prey, bird of prey
now we sit in silence
on a flowering path
listening to the matron ground
our spring our marrow
cherish us with milk & wine
from your breast
out of the warmth-
pours fondness on our heads
and your breath revives our mutual blood
cherish us with milk & wine from your breast
out of the warmth
we arise with the morning dew
to measure out the spatial line
infant laughter in the secret air of the dawn
the old goddess gently carresses the skin
· (a quiet kiss) ·
i · am · pure ·
lead me to the state of all times
lead me to the state of all times

2. DER WALD SO LEER
(lyrics by Andres Böhmer)
zierde flieht aus meinen gliedern
wenn die schritte sich entfernen
unter sternen lach ich leis
obwohl nicht weiß wie lang
such mich meiner zu entsinnen
fremdes drängen nie ertragen
unbehagen nun nicht mehr
der wald so leer von zwang

CLUSTERS
(lyrics by Pegelia Gold)
come near my precious sister
i want you to breathe in deeply
anchor your feet in mine
until you return to every space
come near my dearest sister
i want you to feel completely
entwine your arms with mine
and our skin and bones will tangle
unravel your confusion
in the glory of a spirit dance
unravel your confusion
behind the coloured
gates of innocence
innocence, sweet innocence

LEUCHTBAUM
(lyrics by Pegelia Gold)
so saß ich lang in deinen zweigen
trank schaukelnd aus rosigen blüten
und deine lieben blätter wurden mir zu fell
im gewebe feiner melodien
entspann sich wärme,
lief herzblütig in zentrale kammern
und stillte duldsam mein florales pneuma
noch fädelt sich dies leuchten
durch’s gewundene werk unsres ursprungs,
und fließt dankbar in mein und dein sein

PRIMAL LIGHT
this is the realm
to enter the sea
this is the realm
of a floating heart
seven senses build a pattern
circling kaleidoscope
on the inside of abandon
five celestial spheres echo infinite
following the astral sequence
from the core to capacity
this is the realm
to enter the sea
this is the realm
of a floating heart
as i came out of the blind
swaying in your vastness
enchanted by coincidence
a sudden lament of death
decode its amplitude
then you open a window
into the wide space
and you weave stars around my sleep
earth and moon waters and sun
gravitates within your hand
in your hand
aeolian land
where time and breath
length and death
dissolve and surrender
to light
this is the realm to enter the sea

HOLY HEART
(lyrics by Pegelia Gold)
maybe this was just a breath
we’ve shared in a lucid dream
an analogous pulsation
that stroked the air
and fluttered over no-man’s-land
your artistic hand whirled through my
saturated plumage
left its ornamental fingerprints
on the membrane of mind‘s eye
shivering sounds from my mouth
oh how it resonates!
a vigorous flight declining
in the scattered vastness
of memories
so i went to build a nest in your hair
to breed a lust that missed its affection
so you pulled me through my
world upon your chest
to kill me in the wamth of your armpit
close beside your holy heart
so your word broke my tongue’s wing
constructed fence by fence
onto our vault
that changed its colour into faint
dividing gradually
our careless revolution
collapsed in that paralysed air

NOSTALGIA
(lyrics by Andres Böhmer)
von staub ein strahl
schuldlos durchs scheindunkel rinnt
färbt holz
wie’s die düne ziert
adelt die kinderhand
großer kräfte
kleines glimmen
mag dem zarten frost entschwimmen
und erlischt im schoß der nostalgie

WOLF
(lyrics by Pegelia Gold)
i face the enigmatic wolf
in the raised land of visions
his panorama eyes
azure and old
still wander around
the wilderness of an antique tale
high frequent silence
he invites me to the sea
the golden depths of his sentience
where anemones drift over specular plains
i was obeying the moon
and fell into death
try to recall me & leave doubt behind
try to recall me & open up your mouth
try to recall me don’t fear to sacrifice
try to recall me rely on the chant
dawn & fragrant meadow
i take from the cool water
of the ancient sea
as he tells me it gave him fever and the anomalie of beauty
i lay down my threads
light in self-immolation
his form vanishes
and on the border of evolution i’m all by myself
his flesh inside
and poetry in the labyrinth
an ode to the mystery
which unites me in dreams
with the wise child who already
knows your desire
wise child who already knows your wisdom
wise child who already knows your sacred host
wise child who already knows your essence
