Draw a veil over the veil
Draw a line below the line
Tread beyond the terror of tears
Follow in the impossible footsteps
Of the Unknowing…
Lightening strikes tree of life
Scorched to the roots

Dark Matter Rising

Cowboy poets spare not
Their words nor their horses
As they follow the herds
And plot their courses
To Underworld.
Take the day but fail to hold
The night that falls and runs
To Underworld.
Guttersnipes
And pesky sprites
Head the procession
To Underworld.

Underworld

Jagged Orbit

Spanish Harlem by Jerry Leiber and Phil Spector with additional lyrics from Bob Dylan's Spanish Harlem Incident. This track also combines the reprise of Shattered Walk by Mono-Orbit.

Spanish Harlem

Don’t go to sleep
Don’t go to sleep now
Through waves of ether
Peddlers of pernicious antidotes to life
Would have one drift through waves of ether
Don’t go to sleep 
Don’t go to sleep now
Curious cures poised to penetrate
To cut through the flimsy cloth of existence 
Through waves of ether
Mother Father Sister Brother
Mother Father Sister Brother
Don’t go to sleep
Don’t go to sleep now
“Nobody’s seen the Sandman
Nobody’s seen the Sandman…”
Mother Father Sister Brother
Don’t go to sleep…

Ether

Look at this space
A void of no consequence
A measure of indifference
A hollow existence
Flood light into this space
Bright light
Fill this space with sound
Sweet sound

Lacuna

Collaboration between Mono-Orbit and the poet Jo Richter @sonic-textures
Lyrics copyright - Jo Richter
following the nutritional trail
a trilobite moves from a place
like that to a place like this
agile senses in a chitin shell
alarm in a world made of hunger
muscles react : volvation
when is it safe to stretch out again?
how long do you remain in stasis?
what is duration in trilobite terms?
you need to show strength, to feed,
to moult, to live your trilobite
lifestyle in cambrian waters
when does that urge undo precaution?
a theory of mind for trilobites
does not exist : we are not aware
of their mental cues, their inner states -
do they deliberate or just change shape
as some behavioural timer runs down?
in ancient seas, in its own time
a trilobite moves from a state
like that to a state like this

Trilobite Quandary

Between floors no prizes
For those who dither
This time that time
No time all time
For those who dither
Everlasting life
Between floors
Nowhere and everywhere
Between floors
Hold the leaver
Stop the clock
Pause

Between Floors

I can’t stop the time from passing
I can’t stop time…
How would I not know you
Sister in spirit brother in arms
Taking comfort in the absurd
The fleeting joy of transient bodies
And strange faces
How would I not love you
How would I not pursue you
Weapons of indifference
Shields of sarcasm
Do not deter the ardent adventurer

The Alchemist's Face

“What is the price? - The price is your dream”

Fortune Teller

Does your imaginary friend dream?

“I wage you are a fool in waiting
I cannot venture out from under
The umbrella of my imagination
Into the rain of reality without you.
Gather around me… Have I been sleeping?
Have I been dreaming? Chasing shadows
The silken shadows of existence.
You were the only one present
As I performed my habitual rituals”

Imaginary Friends

Quite Beautiful, Quite Strange

This Quiet Wave

Speak through the earthquake, wind and fire…

Phenomena

May we be in a state
Of discarnation
Beyond
Without a physical body
Do you not love being there?

In Some Far Away Sleep

Bardo

“A long time coming and a long, long time gone
Hapless, clueless, destination unclear
We sail on this our ship of fools.
It would be such an untrue God
Who would condemn us and exploit
Our many errors, our every fear
The obsession with order and with rules.

Against all the odds we find ourselves still here
A long time coming and a long time gone
Imaginings and legends log how we have
Created and destroyed, all that we have loathed
And all the we have held dear.
We should learn the lessons…
A long time coming and a long, long time gone.”

Farewell Computer

DUALITY - the mask has two faces
Laughter and tears, comedy and tragedy
Illusion and reality - and layers of each.
There is an illusion of eternity
And an eternity of illusion
Wall of reality, a sky of illusion
A phenomenal sky of illusion
THE EIGHTH SKY

The Eighth Sky
