Delerium - Poem

Innocente
Lyrics by Leigh Nash

Ah, ah you can't see my eyes,
you can't see my eyes
and they don't see yours
hear me when i say i don't mind at all
it's the rain that i hear coming
not a stranger or a ghost the quiet of a storm approaching 
that i fear the most it's the pain that i hear coming
the slightest crystal teardrops to the ground
in silence when my love is near
darling when did you fall when was it over
darling when, when did you fall when was it over
it's marching through my door now the stony cold of lonesome
a bell tolls for my heart and then my lonesome song begins
darling when did you cry i couldn't hear you
darling when, when did you cry i couldn't hear you
i suppose it is the price of falling in love
i suppose it is the price of falling in love
ah, ah it's the rain that i hear coming
not a stranger not a ghost the quiet of a storm approaching
that i fear the most it's the pain that i hear ocming
the slightest crystal tear drops to the ground
in silence when my love is near
it's marching through my door now the stony cold of lonesome
a bell tolls for my heart and now my lonesome song will end
darling when did we fall when was it over darling when,
when did we fall when was it over
i suppose it is the price of falling in love
i fear that it's the price of falling in love
Aria
Translation by Vickie Richardson

i have wist, sin i couthe meen,
that children hath by candle light
her shadewe on the wal iseen,
and ronne therafter all the night.
bisy aboute they han ben
to catchen it with all here might.

and whome they catchen it best wolde wene,
sannest it shet out of her sight.
the shadewe catchen they ne might,
for no lines that they couthe lay.  this
shadewe i may likne aright
to this world and yesterday.
ever since i could remember, i have known,
that children, by candle light,
have see a shadow on the wall
and have chased it all night through.
busily they have tried,
with all their might, to catch it.

and when they most expect to catch it
it shoots most quickly out of sight
this shadow never shall be caught
in any trap they lay
this shadow in the likeness
of this world and yesterday.

Fallen Icons
Lyrics by Jenifer McLaren

in a dark woods paved with snow living all alone
i forgot long ago what i'm looking for

firecracker lightning seed coming back to me

this is how
you made my heart a hunter

i remember my little seed louder than a dream
i let my golden arrow fly to the bottom of the night
no hounds to guide me no army at my back
i'm gonna stand up

firecracker lightning seed coming closer to me

this is how
you made my heart a hunter

sunrise burns my fortress down crumbling to the ground
i found my arrow my lightning spark buried in my heart
no hounds to guide me no army at my back
i'm gonna stand up

firecracker lightning seed it was always in me

this is how
you made my heart a hunter

Underwater
Lyrics by Rani Kamal

Something fearless in your eyes
something careless about your smile
something fragile when you hold your breath
and when you move
you move right through me

fingertips so gently on my skin
I'm underwater
I feel the flood begin
fingertips so gently on my skin
you're taking over and over again

shed your armour
spin your web
hypnotise me with the longest stare
make your promise
or maybe it's a threat
'cos when you look
you look right through me

we're flesh and bone
together and alone
and we're looking for a home

silver moonlight fills the sky
calling gently to the evening tide
you're unfolding right before my eyes
and when you move
you move right through me

Myth
Lyrics by Francesca Longrigg

it's a weird game.  i'm lonely without skin.  no end to begin and only
your mind to hide in.  i nudge life.  like an unborn child.  a dream
inside but now i live behind your eyes.  i'm uninvited.  and i'm only
a memory that comes through.

i'm living in your dreams.  i'm where you cannot be.  i'm way out
of your reach.  i'm living in your dreams.  i'm where you cannot see.
is it you or is it me?

i can't protect what you can't forget.  but now i live behind your
eyes.  you recognize me as only a memory that comes through.

i'm living in your dreams.  i'm where you cannot go.  beyond everything
you know.  i'm living in your dreams.  you won't find me anywhere.
i've vanished in the air.

Nature's Kingdom
Lyrics by Kirsty Hawkshaw

moon beauty to live and to love
in delirious bitter gardens
the vision floods under the mind sky
night breaths, whispering symphony
after a blood sun storm
love light relieves

with a goddess and a dream
in sleep's misty shade
i lie beneath worlds imaginary
with a goddess and a dream
in sleep's misty shade
i'm going ou to meet an old friend

sing a true moment, recall a trip
no language can heave through life
like an ache, a sense, the blinding wind
making believe that if there's a sandstorm
you'll come and rescue me
help me find my way back to the waking world

with a goddess and a dream
in sleep's misty shade
i lie beneath worlds imaginary
iwth a goddess and a dream
in sleep's misty shade
i'm going out to meet an old friend

the desert knows we are strangers
until the sands of time see through our eyes
we could be lost perhaps forever
but there's space in the air
and it's ages till sunrise

Daylight
Lyrics by Matthew Sweet

if you can believe you're turning all the world that broke your mind
then i can do something for you even though you're lost in time

you won't have to be my heaven.  i won't have to be your friend
dalight, daylight comes every time it's calling
daylight, daylight it goes away again now

don't let go don't let go of your heart
don't let go don't let go of your heart

feel like your skin is burning into many drops of rain
but it's doing nothing to me drowning in a sea of pain


you won't have to be my heaven i won't have to be your friend
oh daylight, daylight comes everytime it's calling
daylight, daylight it goes away again now

don't let go don't let go of your heart
don't let go don't you know who you are
don't let go don't let go of your heart
don't let go don't let go of your heart

A Poem for Byzantium
Lyrics by Joanna Stevens

unforbidden shadows of you formed yesterday
i ran away to a room here on the bay
interrupted life again, another new beginning
where the silence echoes you're no longer with me

here and now, i feel that i'm embracing freedom
even though i may be alone, but that's ok

through the darkness i would walk in the streets
confessions never seemed to provide me with a release
held me down and tried to cure me tried to give me reason
but nothing could separate this burdened mind from me

here and now, i feel that i'm embracing freedom
even though i may be alone, but that's ok
and looking out to a different sky will disengage me
absence is never the answer, i know, but it serves as my shade

i do not seek and do not intend to find
a calmer ocean or a sun that will never rise
my world will never change and time will bring you to my thoughts
and i'll move on and then forget you all over again
moving on, i can forgive you all over again

here and now, i feel that i'm embracing freedom
even though i may be alone, but that's ok
and looking out onto a different sky it seems so easy
absence is never the answer, i know, but it serves as my shade

Flowers Become Screens
Written by Bill Leeb/Rhys Fulber and Kristy Thirsk

Soaks my skin - through to the bone
Pain is nothing that a downpour won't erase
Rain - you can't hold on to it
A treasure you cannot frame
Rain - somehow I'm drawn to it
I feel engaged, one and the same
When heavens dressing beads off my face
The pain is nothing that a downpour won't erase
