Ghost In The Attic 03:37
lyrics

There’s a ghost in the attic A story untold a tale of the soul A truth to behold It’s more than whispers A life that’s left behind A metaphor of existence In the corner of your mind Like a ghost in the attic spending your days Lost in the shadows an habitual haze Wake up my friend let the truth set you free From the ghostly illusions that you cannot see The attic is vast filled with memories untold The present is waiting survival unfolds Release the spectre let them find reprieve Step into living where you believe In the attic of your mind where patterns reside Trapped in the past where they’re able to hide But like sunlight through windows awareness seeps in Illuminating light as new chapters begin

A Spiritual Quest 03:44
lyrics

Well life was a puzzle , all jumbled and unclear Lost in chaos, drowning in fear But I heard a whisper, a call from within A path to the truth, where life would begin In the tapestry of moments, I found my own thread A spiritual awakening, like words left unsaid Life’s getting better, like a river’s gentle flow A spiritual journey, where wisdom starts to grow Finding the path forward, like a beacon of light Guided by the stars, through the darkest night The World has it’s questions, a riddle so deep But the answers were hidden , within my soul to keep The old ways of thinking, they slowly fade A new understanding, like a serenade The path is unfolding, as the story is told In the union of spirit, both young and old Life’s getting better, with each step I take A spiritual quest, a journey to awake Finding the truth within, like a hidden gold mine Unveiling the mysteries, one piece at a time Through the valleys and mountains, I wandered so free A seeker of wisdom, in the forest of trees The teachings of ages, like a river’s soft song Building me gently, helping me to stay strong Helping me to stay strong

My Lover 05:24

Mysterious heart her soul’s like a river so wide I’m a traveler on love’s endless tide She’s the breeze on the back of my neck I find shelter when she gently calls Love is a dance of the soul like a song on the breeze I find solace beneath towering trees With each heartbeat there’s a rhythm so sweet Love’s tender embrace our two souls finally meet She’s the sun and the moon in the sky so vast I find freedom from the shadows I cast Her wisdom her essence so wise in her love I find answers under star studded skies Love’s a fire in our hearts Like a flame burning bright in the darkest night She’s my lover, she’s my lover, she’s my lover Through the highs and lows she’s my anchor my sail In her I find the strength to weather the gale Like a road explored in her arms I’m a wanderer In love I feel so adored She’s my lover, she’s my lover, she’s my lover She’s the sun and the moon in the sky so vast I find freedom from the shadows I cast Her wisdom her essence so wise in her love I find answers under star studded skies Love’s a fire in our hearts Like a flame burning bright in the darkest night This love that we share It’s where my true heart’s found…….so profound Let’s go……hand in hand

Emerging From The Shadows 03:18
lyrics

n the depths of the darkness we once did reside Lost in illusion, where truth seemed to hide But now we awaken a new dawn’s embrace Shedding the shadows we find our own space Oh the journey from night to day A dance of existence in a mystical way Emerging from the shadows we spread our wings wide Discovering the light that’s been left inside Obscurity’s lifted as we question and seek A path of enlightenment a journey unique Old tales unravel revealing the truth We step into brilliance in the bloom of our youth Oh the journey from night to day A dance of existence in a mystical way Emerging from the shadows we spread our wings wide Discovering the light that’s been left inside So let us arise like the sun from the sea Unveiling the wisdom the truth that will be The journey continues each step’s a delight As we dance in the realms of the day and the night Oh the journey from night to day A dance of existence in a mystical way Emerging from the shadows we spread our wings wide Discovering the light that’s been left inside

Destiny's Grace 02:35
lyrics
buy track
Life's a tapestry woven, mystic and grand, In its intricate threads, we softly tread. A journey of moments, hand in hand, A tale of mysteries, yet to be read. Oh, life's magic, enchanting and bright, Unfolding in ways beyond our sight. Mysteries whisper, their secrets concealed, In every sunrise and every revealed. Stars above shimmer with tales untold, Each twinkling light a story's embrace. Paths that we wander, in dreams unfold, Guided by destiny's tender grace. Oh, life's magic, enchanting and bright, Unfolding in ways beyond our sight. Mysteries whisper, their secrets concealed, In every sunrise and every revealed. A puzzle of moments, intricate and rare, We strive to decipher, to uncover and share. Yet, in the mystique, a beauty does reside, As we dance through its passages, side by side. Oh, life's magic, enchanting and bright, Unfolding in ways beyond our sight. Mysteries whisper, their secrets concealed, In every sunrise and every revealed.

Lone Wolf 03:29
lyrics

In the shadows of defeat I found my way A phoenix rising from the ashes come what may Life’s storms may batter and tear me apart But I’ll stand tall a flaming burning heart Bruised and scarred yet I hold my head high Resilience coursing through me reaching for the sky The battle’s tough but I’m not alone I’ve been knocked down but I won’t stay there Rising up defying despair With every stumble I gather my strength In the face of adversity I’ve been knocked down but I won’t stay there Rising up defying despair With every stumble I gather my strength In the face of adversity Like a lone wolf howling at the moon I’ll face the night, my fears are consumed From the depths I’ll find my way So watch me rise from the ashes once more A symphony of strength a battle roar No matter how hard life’s punches may be I’ll keep getting up with my spirit free I’ve been knocked down but I won’t stay there Rising up defying despair With every stumble I gather my strength In the face of adversity I’ve been knocked down but I won’t stay there Rising up defying despair With every stumble I gather my strength In the face of adversity Like a lone wolf howling at the moon Like a lone wolf howling at the moon

Awaken 02:50
lyrics

In the shadows they linger their eyes everywhere Watching our lives with an intense stare Cameras hidden in the night they deploy A web of intrigue a World they enjoy Awaken…….let your consciousness rise Awaken…….let your consciousness rise Awaken…….let your consciousness rise Awaken…….let your consciousness rise The digital labyrinth our steps they trace Capturing our data in a secretive embrace A dance of control where freedom is sold But beneath the surface a story is told In the theatre of life they play their role Whilst we navigate choices seeking our goal The spotlight’s upon us in this grand masquerade Are we players or pawns in this game that we’ve made Don’t be deceived by their watchful eyes Beyond the illusion the truth slowly lies Awaken…….let your consciousness rise Awaken…….let your consciousness rise Awaken…….let your consciousness rise Awaken…….let your consciousness rise

How Long Could I Float In Water 04:07
lyrics

How long could I float on water, could I lie there star shaped for days I’ve been lying star shaped through life lately, drifting with the tide There’s nothing to look at, it’s dark not in a sinister way It’s a dark nothingness, a vast nothingness like space How long could I float on water How long could I float on water How long could I float on water How long could I float on water The occasional twinkling experience Brings beauty and meaning but it fades Eventually back, back to black vast empty nothingness What gravity waves could carry , such a heavy mass to safety Drifting on, to oblivion, on unseen tides How long could I float on water How long could I float on water How long could I float on water How long could I float on water I’ve been floating on water I’ve been floating on water

Amongst The Stars 02:48
lyrics

eneath the cosmic tapestry, stars alight, In the velvet expanse, they paint the night. Galaxies twirl, a celestial show, In the universal grand display. The galaxies above whisper tales of endless love. In the vastness of space, we find our place, amongst the stars. Nebulas swirl like dreams untamed, In the dark expanse where mysteries are named. A cosmic river of time unfolds, As stardust stories, silently told. Galaxies above whisper tales of endless love. In the vastness of space, we find our place, amongst the stars, we embrace their grace. A journey through the astral sea, Where constellations dance carefree. A celestial symphony, pure and true, Guiding us to vistas new. Galaxies above whisper tales of endless love. In the vastness of space, we find our place, amongst the stars, we embrace their grace.
