City Moon 04:12
Oh oh oh Bad moon You were more to me Velvet white Starry child Sailing to the sea City moon so soon One remaining day Black night outside Given more to say And yellow time is overhead Unchanging things imprinted Can it all be clear City moon so soon You’re the world to me Velvet white Starry child Sailing to the sea And yellow time is overhead Unchanging things imprinted Can it all be clear

Psyche 04:22
Here I reap barley, corn and wheat In this field dark and bleak Eros holds the keys I seek Psyche's tasks to complete I loved him blindly Never saw his face by day I loved him nightly Aphrodite From my lips Venus fountains drip Bittersweetness Eden howls behind garden walls Reed pipes for wantoness I held the lamp Suspicion beheld me his face I held the lamp My lover flew away I loved him blindly Never saw his face by day I loved him nightly Aphrodite In the shadows of passion's throws Love's harvest seemed so cruel Black rivers cross beauty's domain Mortal world you begin to fade I loved him blindly Never saw his face by day I loved him nightly My lover flew away I loved him blindly Never saw his face by day I loved him nightly Aphrodite

By Your Side 05:22
I’d cross the ocean Just to be there by your side I’ve felt the water As its river flows to dry The night sky warms me Tell me, should I close my eyes Those lights that blind me Say you, "just you step inside" Right by your side Right by your side Ooh how you keep patience safe lies Crossing this ocean's too wide How could that warmth be the right sky Crossing to be by your side Right by your side Right by your side I’d cross the ocean Just to be there by your side I’ve felt the water As its river flows to dry The night sky warms me Tell me, should I close my eyes Those lights that blind me Say you, "just you step inside" Right by your side Right by your side Ooh how you keep patience safe lies Crossing this ocean's too wide How could that warmth be the right sky Crossing to be by your side Right by your side Right by your side

Ring 05:56
Come away, with me, oh human child To the waters and the wild With a fairy hand in hand You can not stay here one more day The world is full of sorrow and decay Through the forest, to the sacred lake Mirrors in my hands to find you to find you Reason after reason to find you Where the waters slumbering and still A whirlpool will take us to the mill An hourglass of time will be killed We'll dance in rings around a cherry tree And only eat the reddest berries In the timeless spring eternally Mirrors in my hands to find you Mirrors in my hands to find you, to find you Reason after reason to find you
