THIS IS MY HEAVEN Lyrics by Samuel Ferrer (Verse I) Don’t wait Don’t hold the gates Don’t ask me why. No jewels Fold up the wings I’ll not take flight. (Chorus) Heaven Can wait until This love has broken me. This my, My paradise Withhold eternity. (Verse II) Sweet hymn The candles dim Vacate the pews. No harps Reach for the gin Ignore the cues. (Chorus)

Heroes Fall 05:07
HEROES FALL by Samuel Ferrer Standing-in-rows, they-line-up-again March, rhythm, politicians Chins in-the-air, they-come-in-legions Heroes-won’t-last if-they-try-to-join-in. Cars, diamonds, all-that-you-spend Step through-this-door and we-come-to-the-end Pass through-the-place where others-gave-in. This-will-go-down beyond-what-they-intend. (Pre-Chorus) False. Vows. Dim. Eyes. Stone. Heart. Glass. Lies. (Chorus) Heroes fall Kings grow old Poets cry as lovers go How the edge Of a knife Cuts right through all. Don’t look back Fist and blade You were found and you were made All was right All went wrong (you’ve) found your call. (Bridge) Leave far behind the angels you once knew And behold the ways of men. (Coda) Leave far behind angels Leave far behind angels And behold the ways of men.

THIS IS NOW OUR HOME Lyrics by Samuel Ferrer (Verse I) Far Star Improbable Lonesome way Feels too long. New Sun Young blue Earth Firm ground Have we found…. (Chorus) This is now our home The leagues that count to here Left nowhere to return And all that we held dear. This is now our home Our genesis undone No stories of return Our past a different sun. (Verse II) Wake me Golden light Raise me And fill me. Seedling Springing Youngling You are near. (Chorus)

Rock, Moon, Rain, Sea by Samuel Ferrer 1. Here we are again. You gazin’ at the whirling flames. Me gazin’ at you. You want to know how this all came to be: the night, the fire, you, me. You speak sadly of all those words you carry around in your back-pack: quarks, string-theory, helium, carbon, and gravity. And I tell you again, these things came not to be by scientific sorcery. No, you see, the god Vishnu churned holy milk until the world was born. And the churn was slow and it was funky. (Chorus) Rock. Moon. Rain. Sea. Star. Dust. You. Me. 2. So let us speak of clouds and let us speak of rain. Let us speak of how the universe made such ever-expanding gains. Let us speak of fire. Let us think of wind. The mysteries of the gods, the grievances of men. (Chorus) Rock. Moon. Rain. Sea. Star. Dust. You. Me. 3. So let us speak of clouds and let us speak of rain. Let us speak of how the scientific universe made such holy gains. Hook my little finger, but do not hold on tight. Just let me know you’re here and walk me through this night.

Set Apart 04:59
SET APART Lyrics by Samuel Ferrer (Verse I) Dear old friend Our school days Long since past Let ‘em fade. We speak kind But if I may: All this time We’ve behaved. (Verse II) You set aside The rub of days. You hold false tongues And silence their brays. You’re set apart, The truth all these years: No one can match The standard you’ve made. (Chorus) You’ve seen my heart bleed: Imagine how I’d feel If you were to marry. Don’t ask me to meet another lover with my name. Stop and read my eyes: Imagine how I’d feel If you were to marry. Time to rub your eyes And reach for what’s so near to you. (Verse III) So stroke my hair but not like before. Reach behind and close the door. Use those lips to close my eyes. Take me now Here I lie. (Chorus)
