DANCE OF THE ELF QUEEN
It happens once a year in a place down by the sea
She dances in her bright lit gold, she dances for the suffering,
She takes it on herself.
Her power as a healer, her sacrifice of love, her dance becomes a balm of light
She takes it on to heal the plight, of pain and woe, of all the things, that cause us pain,
So we regain, the peace of love, to let the forest grow
And now she dances….
The pain that she took will soon be gone but she must rest
(so she can be strong again)
As Sun rises high, to greet a brand new day, a brand new day
It happens every a year in a place down by the sea
If you close your eyes and you believe
In a place where no one dies, under Elven skies

Sometimes we just ramble on and sing the song
Sometimes theres no room to breathe at all
Travel on to see the show youve got to go
Sometimes theres no show to stop the fall
Lost in time Toe the line
Take the heat until we meet
Feel the sigh Walk the cry
Hate the hate, Dont hesitate
Somewhere is a dark belief
That begs us for some sweet relief
Sometimes there is nothing we can do
If you try to make it right
There sometimes is a guiding light
Yet sometimes it just isn't up to you
The call of sound, the crush of feeling
The noise just sends, our senses reeling
Do we feel an ounce of danger come
Fly the mirror through the ashes
As we cast our thoughts astray
Hoping for an interaction, leading us away
Lost in time Toe the line
Take the heat until we meet
Feel the sigh Walk the cry
Hate the hate, Don't hesitate
Sometimes we just ramble on and sing the song
Sometimes there's no room to breathe at all
Travel on to see the show you've got to go
Sometimes there's no show to stop the fall
The call of sound, the crush of feeling
The noise just sends, our senses reeling
Do we feel an ounce of danger come
Fly the mirror through the ashes
As we cast our thoughts astray
Hoping for an interaction, leading us away

SLOWDOWN/ Into the Breach
WORDS AND MUSIC JOEL PIRARD
PT 1 "SLOW DOWN"
WHEN THE MOMENT STRIKES YOU DO YOU FEEL THE PRESSURE RISE
THE THE WALLS KEEP CLOSING IN DO YOU HARDLY FEEL ALIVE?
DOES THE CRAZY RAT RACE MAKE YOU HURT INSIDE,
ARE YOU ALWAYS SAYING ONE THING THEN YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND?
WELL THERES JUST ONE THING I CAN SAY TO SET YOU FREE
ITS THE ONLY WAY THATS HELPED ME AND MY EYES TO SEE
IF THE PEOPLE TRY TO PUSH YOU DO YOU LET THEM HAVE THEIR WAY?
DO YOU SMILE AT EVERYONE WHEN YOU WISH THAT THEY WOULD GO AWAY?
GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY WOULD BE HURT TO SEE YOU NOW,
YOURE REALLY IN A RUT YOURE REALLY GOING DOWN.
SLOW DOWN. SLOW DOWN. DONT LET THEM GET YOU DOWN
SLOW DOWN, TO TURN YOUR LIFE AROUND
DONT LET THEM TELL YOU WHAT TO DO BE TRUE TO YOU
SO WHEN YOUVE HAD ENOUGH JUST TURN AND WALK AWAY
AND IN THAT MOMENT YOU CAN LAUGH AND ITS OK
CAUSE YOURE GOING TO HAVE YOUR DAY ANYWAY
YES THE DAY IS COMING WHEN YOU WILL HAVE A WAY
TO SLOW DOWN.
SLOW DOWN,
SET YOUR MIND AT EASE,
LET YOUR SOUL RUN FREE
PT2 "Into the Breach"
(Instrumental)

THE SUN ALSO SHINES

The sun also shines
And when will the day be a glad one, when will the smile in your eyes,
Not be mixed with a tear left abandoned, as you wait, all alone in the night?
Lonely days as the sun goes down around you, lonely nights as you crawl in your bed
Lonely dreams of the better times behind you, as you hope that they’ll come back to you, again
And how will the moment be held to, a quiet soft-spoken love whisper
If 1000 miles keep you apart from one who is your source of light?
--break---
Lonely days as the sun goes down around you, lonely nights as you crawl in your bed
Lonely dreams of the better times behind you, as you hope that they’ll come back to you, again
And do you feel somehow so empty, and does your heart call out a sigh,
Not to see your lover so far now, and to feel you’re lost in the ‘why’?
Lonely days as the sun goes down around you, lonely days as you crawl in your bed
Lonely dreams of the better times behind you, as you hope that they’ll come back to you, come back to you again
--break---
If for you now the feelings are lifted, and you float away on the air,
If your worries be saved from the future, will this be the end of your cares?

Too late to say I’m sorry too late to change the tale.
The pain of your departure, the sorrow that prevails.
I’ve got to find an answer. I’ve got to save the show.
I’ve got to try to show you, the story as it grows..
I still cannot begin to conceive, your mad decision, to just leave;
your leap of faith, your lapse of trust, and then our sad untimely end.
(Instrumental break)
…and then the dream….
THE DREAM SEQUENCE
Rising on a hill, in a meadow, the golden maiden, rides on in the sun.
In her world there is no shadow, in her story filled with fun.
Is this reason or reaction, to the truth that’s just begun?
Oh I pray that it is real now, so I’ll know that she’s at peace.
Sunlight at the end of the rainbow, the madness gives a way released.
In her world there is no sadness, in a tale that’s filled with love.
My reaction: senses reeling, as the light comes from above, the sky!
AFTERMATH
So now I know the answer. So now I know its’ true.
She was a fragile dancer, like crystal glass and youth.
Its’ not because she want to ‘away’, I see, and so her soul was willing
the dream has set me free.

WE'VE GOT TO STAND AGAIN

SEPARATION FROM THE PEOPLE
THAT YOU LOVE, FOR A CAUSE
IS NOT WHAT WE WOULD CHOOSE TO DO
LIVING FREE AND IN THE MOMENT
SOMETHING THAT WE TAKE FOR GRANTED
CAN BE GONE SO QUICKLY, YES IT'S TRUE
CAN WE HOLD ON TO A FEELING
CAN WE STILL RETAIN THE DREAM
OF OUR FATHERS AS THEY WROTE THE SONG
IS THERE MEANING IN THE WORDS
THAT THEY WROTE DOWN SO LONG AGO
IS THE MESSAGE LOST OR ARE WE STRONG?
HELP ME! i'M FALLING DOWN
HELP ME.. I'VE GOT TO STAND AGAIN
SHADOWS SHOW OUR INDIGNATION
YET WE DO NOT SEEM TO CARE
WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR US TO SEE TRUTH
PEOPLE YOU JUST HAVE TO LISTEN
TRUST YOUR HEARTS AND DON'T DESPAIR
TRUST YOURSELVES AND USE YOUR REASON NOW
THERE'S A TIME THAT ONE MIGHT NOTICE
AS THE MOMENT OF A CHANGE
SENSES REELING, TIME TO RE-ARRANGE
HELP ME! I'M FALLING DOWN
HELP ME.. I'VE GOT TO STAND AGAIN
BUILD A NATION
AS OUR FATHERS
WROTE IT DOWN
SO WE WOULD SEE
THIS I BEG YOU
STOP AND LISTEN
SEEK THE ANSWERS
AND BE FREE
HELP ME! I'M FALLING
HELP ME I'M CALLING
HELP ME TO STAND, AGAIN
HELP ME TO STAND AGAIN
