Sail away and leave the past behind
Head to the gates of the Most Sublime

Don’t waste time
On this element of minimal purpose
This world is yours man
All the gifts and curses

Still we worship
And stay true
To the path we know
No need to go astray
No need to climb off the boat

Instead let’s sail till the waves run dry
And the ocean fades into dust beneath us
Then raises up
And swallows the sky
Yet keeps us sitting on the edge
Our feet thrust
Out into the open air

As we soar through the tumbling universe
Avoiding the comets as they zoom past our ears
Heading towards the heavenly stairs
No need to mistrust

We’re all here
All the honest men last till the end
No fear
All the good deeds turned into gold
And all those memories left untold
Stay untold until the sky unfolds.

Moon Race

Moon Race 



I’m from a land in a distant place
Way past Neptune into distant space
My father bit the apple in forgetfulness
And then I fell through the crimson nebulae
Into the earth with the human race

So we reach for stars or try to be one
Live off light from the prodigal sun
But there’s no holy trinity
That can keep me together
And God; there’s only One

Has the moon reached its stations yet?
Have the trumpets from space been blown?
Did you recall or did you forget?
That this world has never been your home.

So we outgrow all that we know
In search for truth in this summer snow
And as the rainbow splits the light into six plus one
Seven nations beneath the gold

We must unite for our souls to glow
To return to the land in a distant place
So before the moon hits the finish line
And trumpets blow
Let’s make the most of this Human race.
