I am the ocean
Lit by the flame
I am the mountain
Peace is my home
I am the river
Touched by the wind
I am the story
I never end
Pictures Of A City including 42nd At
Treadmil
Concrete cold face cased in
steel Stark sharp glass-eyed crack and peel Bright light scream beam brake
and squeal Red white green white neon wheel.
Dream flesh love chase
perfumed skin Greased hand teeth hide tinseled sin Spice ice dance
sickly grin Pasteboard time slot sweat and spin.
Blind stick blind drunk
cannot see Mouth dry tongue tied cannot speak Concrete dream flesh broken
shell Lost soul lost trace lost in hell.
Cadence And Cascade
Cadence and Cascade Kept a man named Jade; Cool in the
shade While his audience played. Purred, whispered, 'Spend us too: We
only serve for you'.
Sliding mystified On the wine of the tide
Stared
pale-eyed As his veil fell aside. Sad paper courtesan They found him just
a man.
Caravan hotel Where the sequin spell fell Custom of the
game. Cadence oiled in love Licked his velvet gloved hand Cascade
kissed his name.
Sad paper courtesan They knew him just a
man.
In The Wake Of Poseidon
including Libra's Theme
Plato's spawn cold ivyed
eyes Snare truth in bone and globe. Harlequins coin pointless
games Sneer jokes in parrot's robe. Two women weep, Dame Scarlet
Screen Sheds sudden theatre rain, Whilst dark in dream the Midnight
Queen Knows every human pain.
In air, fire, earth and water World
on the scales. Air, fire, earth and water Balance of change World on the
scales On the scales.
Bishop's kings spin judgement's blade Scratch
'Faith' on nameless graves. Harvest hags hoard ash and sand Rack rope and
chain for slaves Who fireside fear fermented words Then rear to spoil the
feast; Whilst in the aisle the mad man smiles To him it matters
least.
Heroes hands drain stones for blood To whet the scaling
knife. Magi blind with visions light Net death in dread of life. Their
children kneel in Jesus till They learn the price of nails; Whilst all around our
mother earth Waits balanced on the scales.
Peace - A Theme (instrumental)
Cat Food
Lady Supermarket with an apple in her basket Knocks in the manager's
door; Grooning to the muzak from a speaker in shoe rack Lays out her goods
on the floor; Everything she's chosen is conveniently frozen. 'Eat it and come
back for more!'
Lady Window-Shopper with a new one in the
hopper Whips up a chemical brew; Croaking to a neighbour while she
polishes a sabre Knows how to flavour a stew. Never need to worry with a tin
of 'Hurri Curri': 'Poisoned especially for you!'
No use to
complain If you're caught out in the rain; Your mother's quite insane. Cat
food cat food cat food again.
Lady Yellow-Stamper with a fillet in a
hamper Dying to finish the course Goodies for the table with a fable on the
label Drowning in miracle sauce, Don't think I am that rude if I tell you that
it's cat food, 'Not even fit for a horse!'

Peace - An End
Peace is a word Of the sea and the wind. Peace is a bird who
sings As you smile. Peace is the love Of a foe as a friend; Peace is
the love you bring To a child
Searching for me You look
everywhere, Except beside you. Searching for you You look
everywhere, But not inside you.
Peace is a stream From the heart of
a man; Peace is a man, whose breadth Is the dawn. Peace is a
dawn On a day without end; Peace is the end, like death Of the
war.
