01. Nucleus

Music & lyrics by Anekdoten
Awaken - I am reborn - seeing - calling - roll away the stone - rising

Pacing through the ashes, holding fast the rope
Finally believing in love and life and hope

Beauty - Sky, Earth and Moon - always moving - beating in tune - turning around...

Reaching - drawn to the light - wanting - shooting into the night - glowing

Getting ever deeper, closer to the core
The purpose and the meaning, the essence of it all!

02. Harvest

Music & lyrics by Anekdoten
I've drunk my fill, sunk my will, bored myself with talk
End the dreaming, time for seeing life as real as now

Synchronized in sharp focus, tuned with space and time
Led by instinct and emotion, ruled by heart and mind

Taking it all in
For each breath I give I'm closing in

The path that leads you back is there all the time
No doors have been shut to keep you outside
Benevolent skies will lead the way on from yesterday
Losing our sight of the goal,
We run around in our mazes alone
We run...
The treadmill is spinning around...

Taking it all in
For each breath I give I'm closing in

I know I fail to see you as I should
I scrabble on blind, but want to do good
Fearing the fears that hold the door
Love is the key to all

03. Book Of Hours

Music & lyrics by Anekdoten
Watching the world through the eyes of a child: leaving the past behind me
Curiously peeping behind each door, already longing for tomorrow
There's no need to fear as long as you're here

It's not always easy, not always plain; you cannot evade your sorrow
Those are the terms in this old game
Give and forgive for tomorrow
There's no need to fear - I will be here

All of the reasons were lost in the wave
I scrabble around for reassurance
Dragging my grapnel athwart the sea, scanning my Book of Hours

05. Rubankh

06. Here

Music & lyrics by Anekdoten
Here - alone with my fear
If only I could leave this night behind and love life again
If only I could turn the tide and turn back the time

Imagining - losing what's real
How I would have needed you to be here by my side
We tore out all emotion and I'm left with the pain

Come, step through my head again and show me where I stand
I need the aim to guide me; leave the time that made the agony burn
Lift me up again

The road I thought I'd burned suddenly appearing out of the blue

Here and now - that's where I want to be
released from fears that hold me down,
torpid and drowned and languid...

So come, step through my head again
Show me where I stand
I need the aim to blind me; leave the time that made the agony burn
Lift me up again, my friend

07. This Far From The Sky

Music & lyrics by Anekdoten
The works of wonder pass me unseen
So close in distance, yet so much lies between
Seeing with blurry, myopic eyes
Stuck in a limbo - so far from the sky

One-way devotion and a one-track mind:
I am still yearning, though it clearly won't be mine
Too much confusion: all "how?" and "why?"
I need you near me to guide me from this storm I'm passing through

A moonlit path runs deep in the dark
Guided by stars I follow with my heart
Rely on comfort, rely on time
Hope for direction and mercy from that far, erratic sky

08. In Freedom

Music & lyrics by Anekdoten
Amazed I looked up at the stars
And I wondered how many there are
And the other side seemed so irrelevant to me
Just like a dream or somewhere between

And the rollers crashed hard on the shore
And the wind blew the songs to my door
The East held the promise of morning and soon
new worlds were born - calling me on
I'm going home

New worlds were born calling me on...

09. Luna Surface

Music by Anekdoten
