[QUOTE="Floyd, post: 500, member: 1"] [B]The Revealing Science of God - Dance of the Dawn[/B] SHRUTIS: The Revealing Science of God can be seen as an ever-opening flower in which simple truths emerge examining the complexities and magic of the past and how we should not forget the song that has been left to us to hear. The knowledge of God is a search, constant and clear. Dawn of light lying between a silence and sold sources, Cahsed amid fusions of wonder, in moments hardly seen forgotten Coloured in pastures of chance dancing leaves cast spells of challenge, Amused but real in thought, we fled from the sea whole. Dawn of thought transfered through moments of days undersearching earth Revealing corridors of time provoking memories, disjointed but with purpose, Craving penetrations offer links with the self instructor's sharp and tender love as we took to the air, a picture of distance. Dawn of our power we amuse redescending as fast as misused Expression, as only to teach love as to reveal passion chasing Late into corners, and we danced from the ocean. Dawn of love sent within us colours of awakening among the many Won't to follow, only tunes of a different age, as the links span Our endless caresses for the freedom of life everlasting. Talk tothe sunlight caller Soft summer mover distance mine Called out a tune but I never saw the face Heard but not replaced I ventured to talk, but I never lost my place Cast out a spell rendered for the light of day Lost in lights array I ventured to see, as the sound began to play What happened to this song we once knew so well Signed promise for moments caught within the spell I must have waited all my life for this Moment moment The future poised with the splendour just begun The light we were as one And crowded through the curtains of liquid into sun And for a moment when our world had filled the skies Magic turned our eyes To feast on the treasure set for our strange device What happened to wonders we once knew so well Did we forget what happened surely we can tell We must have waited all our lives for this Moment moment moment Star light movements in seasons Release forward Tallest rainbow Sun shower seasons Life flower reasons They move fast, they tell me, But I just can't believe that I can feel it There's someone, to tell you, amidthe challenge we look around in unison with you Getting over overhanging trees Let them rape the forest Thoughts would send our fusion Clearly to be home Getting over wars we do not mean Or so it seems so clearly Sheltered with our passion Clearly to be home They move fast, they tell me, But I just can't believe they really mean to There's someone, to tell you, And I just can't believe our song will leave you Skyline teacher Warland seeker Send out poison Cast iron leader And through the rhythm of moving slowly Sent through the rhythm work out the story Move over glory to sons of old fighters past. Young Christians see it from the beginning Old people feel it that's what they're saying Move over glory to sons of old fighters past. The move fast, they tell me, But I just can't believe they really mean to There's someone, to tell you, A course towards a universal season Getting over overhanging trees let them Rape the forest, they might stand and leave them Clearly to be home Getting over wars we do not mean We charm the movement suffers Call out all our memories Clearly to be home We've moved fast We need love A part we offer is our only freedom What happened to this song we once knew so well Signed promise for moments caught within the spell We must have waited all our lives for this Moment moment Past present movers moments we'll process the future, but only To touch him we know, send flowered rainbows That chased flowers of dark and lights of songs To you, show all we feel for and know of, cast round, Youth is the truth accepting that reasons will relive And breathe hope and chase and love For you and you and you [B]The Remembering - High the Memory[/B] (Words by Anderson - Howe; Music by Yes) Suritis: The Remembering. All our thoughts, impressions, knowledge, fears, have been developing for millions of years. What we can relate to is our own past, our own life, our own history. Here, it is especially Rick's keyboards which bring alive the ebb and flow and depth of our mind's eye; the topographic ocean. Hopefully we should appreciate that given points in time are not so significant as the nature of what is impressed on the mind, and how it is retained and used. As the silence of seasons on we relive abridge sails afloat As to call light the soul shall sing of the velvet sailors course on Of the velvet sailors course on Shine or moons send me memories trail over days of forgotten tales Course the compass to offer into a time that we've all seen on Into a time that we've all seen on High the memory carry on While the moments start to linger Sail away among your dreams The strength regains us in between our time The strength regains us in between our time As we shall speak to differ also the ends meet the river's son So the ends meet the river's son Ours the story shall we carry on And search the forest of the sun We dream as we dream! Dream as one And I do think very well That the son might take you silently They move fast They tell me There's someone rainbow Alternate tune In the days of summers so long We danced as evenings sang their song We wander out the days so long And I do feel very well That the evenings take you Silently. They move round Sunlight, seeing ground Whispers of clay Alternate ways Softer messages bringing light to a truth long forgotten on As we shall speak to differ also the ends meet the river's son So the ends meet the river's son I reach over and the fruit of life stand still Stand awhile we search our past we start anew The music sings of love you knew We walk around the story Out in the city running free Sands of companions sides that be The strength of the meeting lies with you Wait all the more regard your past School gates remind us of our class Chase all confusion away with us Stand on hills of long forgotten yesterdays Pass amongst your memories told returning ways As certain as we walk today We walk around the story Out in the city running free Days pass as seconds turn they key The strength of the moment lies with you Don the cap and close your eyes imagine all the glorious challenge Iron metal cast to others Distant drums Force the bit between the mouth of freedom didn't we learn to fly Remember to sail the skies Distant suns Will we reach Wiunds allow Other skylines Other skylines to hold you Relayer All the dying cried before you Relayer We've rejoiced in all their meaining Relayer We advance we retrace our stories Like a dreamer all our lives are only lost begotten changes We relive in seagull's pages Outwards ways.
