Lyrics

Now you're looking through the remnants and the haze.
And a memories just a picture that must  fade. (away)

I can tell you wanted to leave before you go.
But if it's so nice to meet me, say hello. 
Hello. (hello)

Oh, if history can teach us just one thing.
It's that we all end up right where we begin.
(it's a sin)

I can already watch you leave before you go.
I can already hear goodbye as you say hello. 
Hello. (hello)

Can you hear the peels of the liberty Bell?
As the jack-boots are marching under a grey spell.
Can you hear the growling and wailing in woods? 
Where the Monsters are lurking and up to no good. 
Can you hear the echoes of summer on  grass?
As the task master tasks you and sets you to task.
All the good children que sera at the moon.
Which is floating in space like a carnival balloon. 

Oh, the danger in a meeting, good to go. 
And if you give me the wink then I would know. (oh for show)

I can already see your smile begin to go.
As you open up the door and say hello.
Hello. (hello)
Can you hear the peels of the liberty Bell?
As the jack-boots are marching under a grey spell.
Can you hear the growling and wailing in woods? 
Where the Monsters are lurking and up to no good. 
Can you hear the echoes of summer on  grass?
As the task master tasks you and sets you to task.
All the good children que sera at the moon.
Which is floating in space like a carnival balloon. 



Hello [2024 Remaster]

First recorded in June 2023. 
From the album A Number of Mirrors.

It's a song about snakes, only this time there's more of them.

Lyrics

A commodity you sold.
For an act that's gotten old.
A mask that lays discarded in the dark.
A point made that clean missed the mark.
A fragment of a word.
Or a story you misheard.
Filled your pockets to the trim with all their mould.
Ignoring the rich fields of gold. 

(ooooooo)
I know that you don't really care.
(ooooooo)
I know my faults.
(ooooooo)
I know that you don't listen in.
I took too long to begin.
Written off.

A momentary lapse.
To behaviours of the past.
Pay the ferryman with coins that you had stole.
A pointless collector of souls.
A phoney masquerade.
A throw off to the shade.
Your tactics are excused now, on the whole.
Felt rung out and wrought by the goal.

(ooooooo)
I know that you're not really there.
(ooooooo)
It's just a jolt.
(ooooooo)
I know that rivalry's a thing.
A simple tune to sing.
From the vault.

(ooooooo)
I know there's wastelands and a king.
(ooooooo)
I know the job.
(ooooooo)
I know there's snakes and everything.
I caught a glimpse.
Only a glance.
Aside: "perchance!"
So I've no chance...
With all you Snakes.
So I'm away.

The ringing of the bell.
Won't shake you from the spell.
A payment you have pending from the dole.
A vessel to fill up with coal. 
An un-heeded warning.
Before the anger has set in.
The centre that is struggling to hold. 
A vector for lies that are old.

(ooooooo)
I know that charm can often hide.
(ooooooo)
A selfish grin.
(ooooooo)
We've all been taken for a ride.
To hell we go.
In a handcart.
We made a start.
Usual ride.
A dagger in the side.
Misses the heart.

More Snakes [2024 Remaster]

So it goes (Ilya's song)

By your side

Is Christmas the snowflakes that fall
Or laughter’s echo through decked halls
Maybe it's the gifts we receive
Or simply stories we believe

What is Christmas? A carol that we sing
A winter's moment, or a timeless spring
Is it the warmth we share by the fireside
Or a world where our hope, goes beyond the yuletide

Could it be the cold and crisp air
Or moments with family we share
Maybe it's the smiles we see
Or the spirit of harmony 
In Christmas, find joy, not in season or date,
A moment for hearts to celebrate.
In Christmas, love shines, not bound by time,
A reason for kindness, a rhythm, a rhyme.

In every hand that's held, in kindness we find,
In every act of giving, humanity's bind.
It's in the quiet moments, in laughter's sound,
In every small gesture, where Christmas is found.

What Is Christmas?

run away

We are the music makers. We are the dreamers of dreams.
