New Light 05:50
New Light Lucidia Omamori Shrinari Darkness is a jewelled night The stars are there to guide us The blackness stores potential for a vast array of wonders Darkness is a new light Once fear has passed The moon has risen Illuminating hills That stretch across the scope of vision You bring rest to my eyes A haven for my aching mind You take me beyond thought Release me from old binds You liberate my seeing To dissolve it is so freeing To become all I'm capable of being I can not fear you Oh darkness be my friend I embrace you time and time again Let me shimmer as a jewel In the vast expanse of all Help me to let go and to know That all is within me Contemplating light and shadow In this sacred mystery You bring rest to my eyes A haven for my aching mind You take me beyond thought Release me from old binds You liberate my seeing To dissolve it is so freeing To become all I'm capable of being I can not fear you Oh darkness be my friend I embrace you time and time again Let me shimmer as a jewel In the vast expanse of all Help me to let go and to know That all is within me Contemplating light and shadow In this sacred mystery Darkness is a jewelled night The stars are there to guide us The blackness stores potential for a vast array of wonders Darkness is a new light Once fear has passed The moon has risen Illuminating hills That stretch across the scope of vision

ANCESTRAL FIRE I know I can not ask you to chase away my demons I know there’s a lot I have to face here on my own All this uncertainty is filling me with visions I find it hard to reap the seeds I’ve sown (CHORUS) Ancestral fire Let me feed you with my fears They’ve been controlling me for years I think it’s time I think it’s time I give it up And surrender for all I’m worth There’s no use in holding on It just makes it worse And I yearn to be free And I yearn to go beyond I’m standing on the precipice Trembling holding on Terrified of what’s contained In the black hole of the abyss Could there be colour? Could there be stars? Is there any more to this? What if pain goes on and on And in it I am drowning What if there is no light atall And I’ll be forever falling - Yet the yin and yang exists It is a universal law Even in the deepest black There’s a point of light for sure Just hold on to that point of light Weave it through empty space With your footsteps in the darkness Trust you have just what it takes (CHORUS) Before you know it the light expands Another world unravels You find yourself forgetting that You were ever troubled Another sky to find brand new Another tale from yonder worlds So rest my child in fields of flowers And let your dreams unfurl CODA Ancestral fire Ancestral fire Ancestral fire Love and gratitude

Desert Path 04:50
DESERT PATH Inject me with pure energy I can not take this apathy It doesn’t even feel like me In wasted lands of lethargy I’m Stranded with my effigy I put it all in jeopardy For you to write my eulogy But first I’ll end this trilogy Give to me a pleathory Some essences a remedy Could take the form of melody I’ll keep it in my treasury Why can’t we dwell in harmony It feels so nice and calm when we Bathe in mutual empathy Commune in deep telepathy Cos you are shining starlight on my desert path Cos you are shining starlight Cactus fruit is juicy Peyote makes me laugh And it draws me to the ground And pulls me into earth To become one with the gritty Then back to rest upon the hearth And it draws me to the ground And pulls me into earth Bring me back to unity Help me find my Synergy I give to you this Imagery This labyrinth of pure symmetry Oh won’t you please help me to see How holy is the Trinity I always sought humility And craved to know infinity Cos you are shining starlight on my desert path Cos you are shining starlight on my desert path To hear them sing in tribal languages Be soothed by foreign tones Triple strings on the guitar To be jolted by the moans Of people seeing God And being flawed by starker truth To return with their eyes shining Glittered by the jewel of youth Because all souls are young And old Eternal in this game We are shouting from the stars Yet we forget each other’s names We are jumping through the galaxy On pogo sticks of glass To land on different planets Only to sail away on mars Cos you are shining starlight on my desert path Cos you are shining starlight on my desert path

Reminisce 03:55
REMINISCE If you could see how wide is my smile To receive your verse mid-flight If you could witness my star shining brighter And guiding me into the night If you could feel the glow all around me The warm shades of fire lit pleasure If you could join me under this blanket of sky You would be my treasure If you could rejoice in the stories I tell Giving life to each word from my lips If you could pull me onto your favourite branch And draw me into your kiss If we could swing our legs in the cool night breeze Honeysuckle the scent of our bliss We could reminisce on the days of our journey All that led us to this And regret would be gone like a whisper Dissolved into empty space And the peace of our love as pure as a dove Would shine in the light of my face Then there would be no question Accetance the jewel of our quest For with you my love I will weather each storm For my head belongs on your chest At night there will be no exception In heavenly beauty we rest Like on the ocean I’m soothed by the rhythm of you As I ride up and down on your breath

STANDING ROCK Ooooohhhh I want to rock you all to sleep my babies but there is no where safe to rest. Ooooohhhh I wanna rock you all... I yearn to soothe you with whispers of everything's going to be ok but I don't know and I can't say.. I yearn to soothe you with whispers of everything's going to be ok but I don't know and I can't say.. Ooooohhhh I want to rock you in the breeze Ooooohhhh as you swing on the tree, But the breeze has turned to wild winds full of dust and debris But the breeze has turned to wild winds full of dust and debris I don’t want to tell my grandchildren They came I was too afraid They took all they wanted And that's how this mess was made I'll tell them of the victory that came after our demonstration where mothers and fathers risked losing it all for the future generations Ooooohhhh I wanna rock you all To sleep my babies Ooooohhhh I'll tell them of the powerful people who were sane enough to listen And the day we changed earth's history With conviction of our mission So drop your gear your riot shield Take a moment to consider Protect the earth my friend It’s our effort to deliver I stand and face your baton and still I do not quiver I am here I will not turn away I will protect this river I stand and face your baton and still I do not quiver I am here I will not turn away I will protect this river

Listen Up 05:24
Listen up The ancient ones knew They prophesied these days Prayed for us to be humble Adopt earth honouring ways The ancient ones feel What goes on beneath the soil The murmurs of the earth Her intact beauty spoiled This heavenly garden The theft of her oil Her pain reflected by our human toil The wise ones they sit Eyes open wide they see How as a species we're heading for catastrophe - (CHORUS) It's gaining momentum fires burn lives away Earth shakes water rises Pray for the right to stay These are the days This is the hour Ocean's rise Feel her power Mother stirs Her back is turned Feel her wretched fires burn Will we learn? When will we learn? Can we earn the right to be? Will we see now? Will we see? I am you and you are me - They hold all the knowledge Yet can't quicken our pace We will realise when we realise We've no choice but to embrace We've no choice but to gather Feel equality in all And only as a circle can we rise and cease to fall The ancient ones know That until we learn to care To find importance in existence And the purity of air We are heading for collision On a track so grim and dark We've been warned of the scenario Like in Noah and his ark (CHORUS) There can be no broken rainbow We depend on all the colours There are wise ones among us Who know how to live in honour For all that holds a haven For all that bears a seed For the soil where life is planted For life to bloom we must take heed So let's go back to basics Let's go beyond our greed Tend to the roots so sacred Listen to their needs With all the elements in balance Natures laws firmly agreed It is time the earth is speaking Fires burn at record speeds Not even fame and glory can differentiate your worth It's time to listen up Take heed the calling of our Earth (CHORUS)

SOUL CALLING (CHORUS) This is your soul calling This is wisdom raining down This is the earth healing As love is all around This is the earth talking The beauty’s ever strong This heavenly planet Is where we belong - Do you hear the trees falling While her wisdom’s raining down We know to protect her Yet her trees fall to the ground We depend on these trees For the air we breathe We depend on these trees For the air we breathe (CHORUS) Do you hear the sky calling? Pleading to mankind To remember the old ways Don’t surrender to being blind When you feel the earth shaking Trembling in her skin Do you promise to work harder To transform this state we’re in Do you promise to acknowledge Her needs and work with care To restore her precious harmony Be the answer to her prayer Listen to her messages Respond with love and ease On this heavenly planet Our life comes from the trees Clean water from the seas Sweet wisdom on the breeze People please take heed We can’t live without these People please take heed We can’t live without trees We can’t live without trees (CHORUS)

The Gift 04:40
THE GIFT (Chorus) Beyond your story Beyond all your pain There’s a gift that is waiting Let it not be in vain Beyond all you’ve been through You can carve a new way And this story I’m writing Could be ours someday - If we all could start caring If all could stand strong Make a choice for our planet To do her no wrong In the way that we choose Keeping our footsteps light To know our own worth To care what is right To honour all others To preserve natural beauty The future could offer Such glorious bounty (Chorus) In my mind there’s an ideal That is worth reaching for I pray we all have the vision To nurture what’s pure To know the essence untainted Deserves’s our protection And it’s worth every effort To show we’ve learned this lesson It is time to embrace The new day being born To let go of the programme These old stories we have worn (Chorus) Let’s make care our value Hold true on each account Think planet before profit Before any amount Think future for our children And their children too Humble to learn from indigenous people They’re the ones who could guide us through Thank life for all beings Let harmlessness ring true With honour to creation For the light that shines in you
