The Lamplighter

 

 

  • 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 quit

    I am the one who didn’t fall asleep
    by the stream of time
    I saw human strength
    couldn’t wake from its cosmic charm

    The wise dragonfly tree
    with hollow voice darkly laughed
    Riotous earthly creatures sang
    hushed tunes of gods

    I 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 you

    Come 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 house

    This life could seem so strange
    for those who didn’t realize,
    this magic world among us,
    on Earth beneath the stars

    Round and round and round
    you carry all the worlds inside
    Up, down and inside out
    paint thee, kaleidoscope eyes

    Come 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 skies

    Kaleidoscope 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 day

    Farewell caress of the wind,
    prophets and all men’s kings
    I know sleepers’ dreams remain
    Planets will turn once again

    Farewell material empire,
    madmen city lost in fire
    I know time will transmute our thoughts
    The mind of the seekers finds paths of love

    Leaves will be yellow
    as they were once before
    Echoes of mankind won’t be enough
    The blowing face upon

    Unpredictable 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 heart

    Light 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 heart

    Storms 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 times

    Don’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 be

    Unite 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 dark

    Come 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 you

    Now 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 you

    Come 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 house

    Light 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 red

    Call her dawn, call her truth,
    the highest secret for me and you
    Creatures traveling her endless story,
    millions of faces, golden rays,
    tales of glory

    No 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 Star

    Once 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 songs

    I know she’ll call us back,
    someday faraway
    Then we’ll be called to testify
    as human race

    Call 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 I (Díaz)

    (Instrumental)

  • Endless Star (Díaz / Peraza)

    (Instrumental)

  • 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 all

    Path that came
    from afar,
    it’s a game
    That ends in circle
    Wanderers always know:
    course is wisdom
    for rocking love

    A 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 more

    Were 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 be

    His majesty Love
    His name is Love
    His majesty Love
    nothing but Love

    Not 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 own

    His majesty Love,
    the highest above
    A cradle below,
    his majesty Love

    Cast his nature and he became
    in his universal embodiment
    Moves his brush and paints once more
    his unfinished masterpiece of love

    His majesty Love
    His name is Love
    His majesty Love,
    nothing but Love

    His majesty Love,
    the highest above
    A cradle below,
    his majesty Love

    His majesty Love,
    the highest above
    A cradle below,
    his majesty Love

    His majesty Love,
    the highest above
    Embracing the world,
    his majesty Love
