1.
There's a ship with sails of white. Majestic and big and it's breaking the light. People whispered, tales have been told; the craft is like magic; the wings made of gold. People say; it travels the sky, Beyond the clouds where the mystery lies. Wings will take you miles away. Imagine the journey, this leap you will take. Come, take a ride, this voyage will kill you and bring you to life. There is freedom waiting for you on the breezes of the sky. And you ask ; what if I fall? Oh darling, what if you fly? If this vessel shall be my goodbye, will I sink deep into the shimmering sky? Shall I enter or leave it to be? It burdens within me, this uncertainty.
2.
On the grass, looking up, while the air is summerwarm The scarlet sky seems a realm of timeless calm. The truth is hidden away, beyond the reach of the eye Galaxies collide, countless stars explode and die. Is it enough to know? Is it enough to see? Is it the air we breath that defines reality? Is it for us to know? Is it for us to see? Is it among the stars where we'd find our destiny? Searching space and time travelling with the speed of light To a new found home, forever leaving loved ones behind. This great fierce ocean of black has captured me inside. Blackholes in my mind, burning thoughts of curves in time. Come and explore the undiscovered so we can find some things to wonder maybe it’s further and beyond us maybe it’s closer than our lovers
3.
My muscles are sore and my bones are aching. I feel the cold in my flesh and I can't stop shaking. For this frozen land has broken and taken me, the white of snow and ice as far as the eye can see. But don't think you can know her, don't think you see through her; under the surface she hides her truth She's mysterious, the queen of the ice, so devious. And if you're curious, come and travel alongside her. You will know that she's magnificent, the queen of the ice, so intricate. And if you're innocent, come and travel alongside her, travel alongside her. My eyes have been opened for the things she hides; all her beautifull treasures which under this white blanket lie. It's the field of lava that is travelling down from the rocky volcano to the valleys all around. It's the mountain and glacier I've never seen before and the flow of the river takes it all to the shore.

5.
I saw the night at the garden of graves; a blazing light captured like a slave. Dwelling in souls now; in death it will stay. This very light never saw the day. It keeps the dreams, keeps the plans that each made, all the potential that never found a way. So many things taken into the grave, never fulfilled, now forever in decay. How came this light to a cemetery place? Was it indolence that its time became a waste? For many souls, they have noticed too late. It's hunting me every night and day. In my dreams I see the price that they've paid; never alive, never breaking this blockade. During the night these souls have gone astray, shaking my bones with a cry of their dismay The light is fading as I'm closing my eyes. My box is lowered as a lament fills the sky. The crowd has gathered to say their last goodbyes, but I awaken with a sound of surprise Take me on this adventure, make me fearless and strong. Don't let me bury this treasure, place me where I belong.
