On Earth Beneath The Stars (Díaz / Peraza)
You ask me who I am
A simple answer is always deep
I am the voice that calls hearts
when they pretend to quitI am the one who didn’t fall asleep
by the stream of time
I saw human strength
couldn’t wake from its cosmic charmThe wise dragonfly tree
with hollow voice darkly laughed
Riotous earthly creatures sang
hushed tunes of godsI was the tireless pilgrim
in the forest of twisted roots
Who has carried the flame in my chest?
I’m the lamp to all of youCome to the Lamplighter House
Walk to the lighted human house
You are being so close
coming from far,
coming through time
to the human house,
the human houseThis life could seem so strange
for those who didn’t realize,
this magic world among us,
on Earth beneath the starsRound and round and round
you carry all the worlds inside
Up, down and inside out
paint thee, kaleidoscope eyesCome to the Lamplighter House
Walk to the lighted human house
You are being so close
coming from far,
coming through time
to the human house,
to the human house -
The Call & Farewell Song (Díaz / Peraza)
Pilgrims have emerged
from the restless labyrinth of ground
They march through the forest
in a panting and stormy sound
Wisdom fire, I must light
into those disoriented space tribes
Wearing my galaxy glasses,
I’ll take them far beyond skiesKaleidoscope eyes,
where do you pretend to go to?
Not by any chance,
you’ll return to the old days of blue
Come to me by my lantern,
by the willow refuge gate
I’m the universal moment
I’m the balance dayFarewell caress of the wind,
prophets and all men’s kings
I know sleepers’ dreams remain
Planets will turn once againFarewell material empire,
madmen city lost in fire
I know time will transmute our thoughts
The mind of the seekers finds paths of loveLeaves will be yellow
as they were once before
Echoes of mankind won’t be enough
The blowing face uponUnpredictable tides
will make our ship sail and wreck sometimes
While in the core of the sun,
souls cast no shadow -
Light The Lantern Of Your Heart (Díaz)
Light the lantern of your heart
Everything will be embraced
by the almighty love again
Light the lantern deeper inside,
let’s frighten those pain sprouts
Just ghosts couldn’t see the dawn
If your strengths failed while you tried,
light the lantern of your heartLight the lantern of your heart
Monsters and fears, shade beliefs
where light never had come in
Light the lantern deeper inside,
fade these nightmares are wandering in
Cast your spell of star shine stitched
If you went to a hopeless land,
light the lantern of your heartStorms could curse your starry path
Consuming minds in dread and fire
Fall apart all pointless throne of hate
You’re the master of your own domain
sculpturing a new turn of timesDon’t expect the shadows unfold the path
You must move forward and take its veil out
The fate why you are here must be revealed
The seed will tell the secrets within
Be whatever you want to beUnite this great legion of lighted hearts
Come on, nothing can’t stop us now
Gathering souls looking far beyond
blessed eyes by wisdom and dusk
Let’s defeat this tempest hailing from the darkCome on, stand up and light,
light the lantern of your heart… -
The Human House (Díaz / Peraza)
You already know who I am
I’ve left the flame with you
Wait for the others
their time will come,
as once it came for youNow you are a tireless pilgrim
in this forest of twisted roots…
who will carry the flame in your chest
You are the lamp for all and youCome to the Lamplighter House
Walk to the lighted human house
You are being so close
coming from far
I bring the light
to the human house,
to the human houseLight the lantern of your heart
Light the lantern of your heart,
heart -
The Dream Child Behind The Mask (Díaz)
Call her endless, call her star,
the dream child behind the mask
Space, her garden of glowing games:
purple and green, blue, gold
silver and redCall her dawn, call her truth,
the highest secret for me and you
Creatures traveling her endless story,
millions of faces, golden rays,
tales of gloryNo one saw her birth,
(a rite of fire)
oceans of stars,
(each form of life)
Her thoughts becoming
in every single mind
Listen to the tales
from Endless StarOnce the world grew from her skin,
her eyes watched far beyond the gleam
to our distant globe
Once we heard her voice that arrived,
telling the tales from Endless Star
in timeless songsI know she’ll call us back,
someday faraway
Then we’ll be called to testify
as human raceCall her endless, call her star,
the dream child behind the mask
Call her dawn, call her truth,
the highest secret for me and you -

The Return – Part II (Díaz / Peraza)
Their eyes reflected
all past glory and memories
Have maybe they returned?
Why must we stay far
from what is close and loved?
Silence told us allPath that came
from afar,
it’s a game
That ends in circle
Wanderers always know:
course is wisdom
for rocking loveA tree was a seed dreaming,
hidden in the realm of soil
Where does truth lie down?
She got a world on her own,
driving heaven up,
but someday no moreWere the
forgotten days
a gift to share with all?
Wanderers always know:
road returns home
no matter how long -
His Majesty Love (Díaz)
Not weird or useful, hated, ugly, cruel or low
Not extreme or beauty, objectionable, high class or gold
He doesn’t know what distinction is
He doesn’t care what or who, when or where could beHis majesty Love
His name is Love
His majesty Love
nothing but LoveNot judgment or deliverance, punishment, lock or key
Not dirty or clean, old or new, no human or beast
He doesn’t know how to die or be born
He doesn’t fill anything but domain of his ownHis majesty Love,
the highest above
A cradle below,
his majesty LoveCast his nature and he became
in his universal embodiment
Moves his brush and paints once more
his unfinished masterpiece of loveHis majesty Love
His name is Love
His majesty Love,
nothing but LoveHis majesty Love,
the highest above
A cradle below,
his majesty LoveHis majesty Love,
the highest above
A cradle below,
his majesty LoveHis majesty Love,
the highest above
Embracing the world,
his majesty Love
