Name: Cuneiform
Duration: P00H03M30S
Description: Like my last release "Light the Harbour", this is another song that started with imagery from Ursula Le Guin's Earthsea (The Tombs of Atuan) and from there went on a wild ride through the ancient, speculative futures, the metaphysical and night drives. I couldn't explain how they all link, but they seemed to fall in together as I wrote.

lyrics

I’m driving out tonight no destination in mind
Over hills and far out into the night
I heard whispers of something out in the desert
Vibrations calling to us from much closer than you think

Lay in wait energy is building
Channeled from the source
Long ago the messages were written
Need to still your mind to listen

Reaching for divine assistance
Waiting at the old tomb’s entrance
Candles flicker in the distance
Old friends calling from a distance

Don’t fall for time
Rushing through infinite lives
Wider than the sky
Concentrated diamond life

Rising with the dawn
Name written in Cuneiform
Willing to transform
Willing to transform

Rock climbing on Titan
Drinking photons from the hadron
Observe a disturbance in the fabric of an axon
Colder than a crystal sending shivers in the background
Golden and serene just like the mask of Agamemnon

Don’t trick yourself in thinking
There’s no meaning
There’s no reason

Listen closely to your feelings
You can reach them
You can reach them

Walking towards the music
Through the heat of a summer evening
Mystified by colours in the voices of the greeting
Warm and friendly touch revealing deep inside a memory
Must be in this lifetime but the counting says it can’t be
Distant solar systems
Half remembered in a vision
Gods from galaxies away
Deity divisions
Hear the sirens wailing,
on the streets where snow is falling
Isotope detection
In the glimmer of the morning
