Lazarus Tree

Honey-drunk all sheets to the wind,
Waiting for the Green Man to come back again
Ground splits open, who do I see...
Up come little Persephone
She comes for the lovers, her breath is the spring
Blowing her sweet kisses on the Lazarus Tree
It's seen a hundred generations of man come and go
It's seen flood it's seen fire but its roots still grow
Some have tried to steal its treasures, as mankind often does
But it comes back stronger than it ever was
Men will always fight and die pretending they are free
Falling like the blossoms of the Lazarus Tree
Been cut, been axed, been burned but it keeps coming back
Now some might see their fortunes in the leaves of their tea
I see the future in the limbs of the Lazarus Tree
Murder of crows staring down at me, from the cooked old branches
of the Lazarus Tree

Head Full of Tomorrows

There's more diamonds baby, in our dreams than hidden pearls in the sea
Don't go searching for signs in the stars unless you like what you see
Ever feel like you've been here before, passing time in your head
Cutting squares from a quilted sky, trying to make your own bed
I've got a life full of yesterdays, a head full of tomorrows
Everything in between is ours, never let that go
Walking blind through this human maze trying to find someone
We all look up to the same blue sky, the same moon, the same sun
Maybe we're just made up of what everyone has lost
You cant hold on to what you haven't got

Distilled

All your big ideas in flames, each a nail in your coffin brain
Work for illusions and linger on
Is it shadow or is it shade, how long since the band has played?
Sing me that old song one more time
How many times will you rise up again
How many times will you return
How many times will we go around again
In the end we move the same
She sleeps in alkahest, distilled like all the rest
Still looking for that mystery
Cut it up and rearrange youth really shows your age
Lost like a dream song in the night
