Single for the song "No More Shadows" 

Lyrics: 

We were young bucks 
In the meadows 
when i met you 
sunlight shinning through the canopy 
we wandered 
like stray cats 
on sidewalks in Harlem 
street lights guiding you to me 
gracefully your hair wrap slipped off 
there in central park 
we slept beneath the trees 

I know that love’s a cliche 
But i need it anyway 

No more shadows there to hide us, they inspire us 
like the subject matter in a painting screaming to be free 
I wish that we could ride this train forever 
no destination 
just perfection next to me 

I know that love’s a cliche 
But i need it anyway

No More Shadows

Single for the song "Dangerous Dogma" by Sarmust. 

Lyrics: 

Dangerous Dogma, Dogma 
Dangerous Dogma, Dogma 
Dangerous Dogma, Dogma 


...and where there was dust 
we mixed our tears 
and made mortar for our temple wall 
and we sacrificed ourselves to love 
without a second thought 
... a second thought 


Dangerous Dogma, Dogma 
Dangerous Dogma, Dogma 
Dangerous Dogma, Dogma 


...but of course we'd die for love 
every moment if we could 
'cause there is nothing sacred 
except for passion in this world 
so of course we'd die for love 


Dangerous Dogma, Dogma 
Dangerous Dogma, Dogma 
Dangerous Dogma, Dogma

lyrics
Lyrics: 

We're suffering these losses 
And decorating coffins 
Well you can see my heart is swollen 
And you swear my thoughts are stolen 

Well just, call me Edison, call me 
Call me Edison, just call me. 
Call me Edison, call me 
Call me Edison, just call me. 
Call me Edison, call me 
Call me Edison, call me 
Call me Edison, call me 
Call me Edison, just call 

I got problems that sound worse that phonographs 
Infidelity and the fidelity of laughs 
So I turned to the needle to set the record straight 
And scratched with velvet dragons to escape 

And now we're suffering these losses 
And decorating coffins 
Well you can see my heart is swollen 
And you swear my thoughts are stolen 

Well just, call me Edison, call me 
Call me Edison, just call me. 
Call me Edison, call me 
Call me Edison, just call me. 
Call me Edison, call me 
Call me Edison, call me 
Call me Edison, call me 
Call me Edison, just call 

This love was so electric 
It seemed to travel through the air 
Arcing like her blue eyes 
Lightening like her hair 
Arcing like her blue eyes 
Lightening like her hair 
But I let the demons of my heart escape 
And they slaughtered all the animals we saved 

And now we're suffering these losses 
And decorating coffins 
Well you can see my heart is swollen 
And you swear my thoughts are stolen 

Well just, call me Edison, call me 
Call me Edison, just call me. 
Call me Edison, call me 
Call me Edison, just call me. 
Call me Edison, call me 
Call me Edison, call me 
Call me Edison, call me 
Call me Edison, just call 

If you ever find your phone...

lyrics
...and then she said: 
"music's what keeps him alive" 
so i play everyday 
'cause i don't want to die 
I don't want to die 
no i don't want to die 
so i play every day 
'cause i don't want to die 
five times a day (haha) 
no, three times a day 
'cause i don't want to die 
it's unconditional 
it's unconditional 
it's unconditional 
this whirling in my soul 
this whirling in my soul 
this whirling in my 
this whirling in my 

this ego is a prison 
how can i be free 
we purify the water 
to set our souls at ease 
but the sickness comes again 
in the form of our beliefs 
i just need my lover to 
i just need my lover to 
i just need my lover to 
i just need my lover to agree 

that it's unconditional 
that it's unconditional 
that it's unconditional 
that it's 
unconditional 
it's unconditional 
unconditional 
it's unconditional 
this whirling in my soul 
this whirling in my soul 

annihilation 
sheikh my hand shakes from separation 
it's annihilation 

sheikh my hand sheikh my hand shake shake 
shake my hand shake my hand sheikh sheikh 
sheikh my hand sheikh my hands shake shake 
shake my hand sheikh sheikh shake my hand 
Oh! sheikh, my hand sheikh, my hand shake, sheikh! 
shake my hand shake my hand sheikh sheikh 
sheikh my hand sheikh my hand shake shake 
shake my hand shake my hand sheikh sheikh 

i'm spinning 'cause i can not touch 
trembling 'cause i love too much 
spinning 'cause i can not touch 
trembling 'cause i - (aaahhh) 

unconditional 
it's unconditional 
it's unconditional 
this whirling in my soul 
this whirling in my soul 
this whirling in my 

this ego is a prison 
how can i be free 
we purify the water 
to set our souls at ease 
but the sickness comes again 
in the form of our beliefs 
i just need my lover to 
i just need my lover to 
i just need my lover to 
i just need my lover to agree 

(guitar solo) 

this ego is a prison

Unconditional [Live At The Fire, PA]

So I gaze into the depths of her sight. 
And hold her close as snow turns into ice. 
In futures they will find us, frozen in embrace. 
Her eyes will never close,
eyes will never close,

Her eyes stare blindly into whiteness. 
This blizzard is our enemy no more. 
We’ve frozen more then just our assets. 
We’ve hoped to become spiritually poor. 
Ascetics in this ice age of oppression. 
Begging for the heat from our lord. 
She hasn’t blinked in almost an eon. 
Her eyes stay wide open from the cold. 

So I gaze into the depths of her sight. 
And hold her close as snow turns into ice. 
In futures they will find us, frozen in embrace. 
Her eyes will never close,
eyes will never close,

Ascetics in the ice...

make my drink on the rocks so it's cold...

So I gaze into the depths of her sight.
And hold her close as snow turns into ice. 
In futures they will find us, frozen in embrace. 
Her eyes will never close,
eyes will never close,

(drum solo)

So I gaze into the depths of her sight. 
And hold her close as snow turns into ice. 
In futures they will find us, frozen in embrace. 
Her eyes will never close, 
the fire of dismay.


Sarmust - frozen in embrace (demo mix)

We were
young bucks 
In the meadows
when i met you
sunlight shinning through the canopy
we wandered 
like stray cats
on sidewalks in Harlem
the street lights guiding you to me
gracefully your hair wrap slipped off
there in central park 
we slept beneath the trees

I know that love is cliche
I know that love’s a cliche
But i want it anyway

No more shadows there to hide us
they inspire us
like the subject matter in a painting 
screaming to be free
I wish that we could ride this train forever
no destination
just perfection next to me

I know that love is cliche
I know that love’s a cliche
But i need it anyway
