When was the last time
You watched the sunrise
A moment comes for me
When I can't speak
Of the joy and the sadness
Of the triumphs and the failures
Who were we to say
What could be and what goes away
The clock on my wall
Tells me what I already know
Time turns it's own hands
By it's divisive plans
I can't take back anything
So I say what is on my mind
And in my heart
The flower of creation
Opens up
And swallows us
If we don't
Maintain our bridges
We're cut off from everyone
Now is the last time
It's closing in on us
I feel the heated breath
Of fiery hounds nipping at my heels

IN BETWEEN

We'll have no warning It's only a matter of time
Once again everything around us will be on the line
We can't ever see what is right
In front of our eyes even the lies
We need to contemplate what's right or wrong
What is good for you might not be for long
A perfect vision as only time will tell
In heaven or truly in hell
Try, don't be afraid to
Fly, sometime we have to
Cry, when we marvel at the sky
This love of life so we don't have to lay down
Sink or swim as easy as kick or drown
Even when overwhelmed by it all
We will find a way to answer the call
We have a choice whether to live or die
The ones denied are only living a lie
Don't live in fear or anger
Caught up by hate
If you wait too long
You will suffer a darker fate

DEADEND
06:56

To end this way is so hollow
A shadow walks where none follow
Never to see home again
But what is home with you
Without me I contend
Don't hang on to my side
It's too late for me my love
I the only thing that survived
It certainly is alive and
Forever at your side
I float passed you
I see your tears falling down
I see a man praying with you
Are those words for me
I wish I could tell you I'm alright
But I have no voice as my box is lowered
Into the warmth of our mother
Some words are said in reverie
But I can't hear what they say
Anyways
Two men grab up their shovels
And fill this hole my body is in
This grows so tiresome my mind
Drifts towards this place of peace
It's so irresistible
I never sought to do any harm
But I can't claim that I haven't done
My fair share of the damage
To all that I touched
I am not longer now
Closer and closer I feel the pull
A desire to be inside of there
It washes over me and I am no longer
"I am we"
"I am we"
"I am no loonger"

IN UNISON
05:01
|
|||
|
The days are grey
Without a sun
The nights are dark
The oppressive run
Around the last dying embers
Their faces washed out
By the colorless sky
Loudly protesting the cold
The people can all sense the light
Their minds all shouting praise
In unison
They know they must be right
The fallen wail
With glowing eyes
Of woe and suffering
They gorge themselves
On the darkness of it all
We mourn the footfalls
Of our lost souls dancing near
A sound of rhythmic beating
They thought they knew
How could they save themselves
Slow is their comprehension
The face of such tortured malice
Unknowing begets unknowing
Shrouded spirits of hinterlands
Descend upon us all

MURCURIAL
06:03
|

|
Trying hard to get myself away
From this lonely place
This is an early warning
I try to get my head above the rising tide of rolling eyes
Perhaps there will be a collapse
Injected into us to understand
This is adding up
I mean for years
And years and years
A penance we have been given
It seems so unreal
So why is it said
That we don't perceive
Reality as it is
If evolution is true
Then we only see
What we need to see
To survive

FIRMAMENT
06:18
|
|||
|
I walk with beloved friends
A realization to constrain
Breathing life to find a new way
Endeavoring to sustain
Remain here in this moment
Before inertia overtakes us
And we no longer have the chance
To see each other again
I sometimes stop and cry
For I know what must come
Weather peaceful in my sleep
Or under a wave miles deep
Beware of this so called firmament
Thus with kindred spirits grieve
Gathered here under the sun
We never thought we'd earn the merit
Our arrogance had just begun
I will fight to keep our home
And did we ask to be made
Embodied in your image
Why must the terror always reign
Why can't we control our fears
Or do we make believe
An instinctual memory
Where it takes so long to conceive
I sometimes stop and cry
For I know what must come
Weather peaceful in my sleep
Or under a wave miles deep
Beware of this so called firmament
The earth is where we call our home
We've never strayed to o far and wide
The only warmth we've ever known
And known we could have tried

UNDIMINISHED
05:19

|
Please hear me
Worship, I don't require
or need your obedience
A mutual compliance
This isn't obfuscated to our ear
You risk too much to deify me
Get yourself up and make it right
Do this not because I said to
But because you should
Just because I was first
Doesn't mean you are last
There's no alpha, no omega
Only love and it's detractors
If you feel you must bend you knee
Pray not to me but to see
We al belong to each and one
Another forever on

THE CONDUIT
06:26
|
|||
|
Looking into transcendental passages
Forming new pathways and motions
A blind side to all we've known
A vison quest sustained
Surrounded by a warmth of light
Generations ahead of you
The living left behind
I'm in a constant state of bliss
I come out the other side
Of a smooth soft conduit
A portal to my universal home
Where my journey started this time
I hear you say "Don't you worry"
"About the things you can not change"
But I was already in that space
Watching for signs leading me to grace
You hear me say "Don't you worry"
"About the things we didn't say"
"Because we both know how we feel
And our lives were meant this way"
For a moment I almost turned around
To fall back comforted by a sound
The sounds resonates deep within my mind
A turbulence of stormy time

UNDER
04:34
|

I have exposed the secret
Unknown for the ages
It passes unnoticed
Under their very noses
I have come to judge them all
For the cleansing yet to come
I have known more than your time
Drawing such a small line
You will never see me again
My friend
You are my creation
My children of elysium
The ever watching eyes of old
Always seek an anecdote

KRUSHINGER
07:01
|

|
Look up for the last time
When lighting strikes up into the sky
A whirlpool of earth and rain
Instantly builds a mountain range
Higher and faster
The storm becomes a fire
Spinning and twisting
As arms pull in, its crushing
Any creature caught unaware
Shall wish for a swift end
Rather than be the ones left behind
To see what men do to mankind
Those who aren't already sheltered
Are first to join the over soul
The remaining will need the strength
To seed their progeny
If we could only see the lies
We'd tell ourselves to cut the ties
If we could only unite our minds
To solve this puzzle for all time
We don't want to die out
We don't want to fade out
We wont let it take down
We wont be able to side step

WORTH THE FALL
05:03
|
|||
|
Your confusion isn't rare
Chaos surrounds you everywhere
The serpent devours it's tail
Feeding endless cycles
Don't mistake the meaning in this
Doing so will be at your own risk
The only way forward from here
Is not the only way to get clear
A savior that's worth the fall
This fall can heal your soul
When your flying high
It's hard to know where to land
I won't make you bare the cost
I've been through too much loss
You've gotta leave me down
In touch with the ground
The only way we all can be
One time you'd hate to see
You want to see me frown
To wear my crown
Those times you ran away
One to many I've got to say
In tried to hold you down
Face to the ground
It's not the only way to be
One time you'd come to see
You'd like to see me frown
To taste the ground

THE BLOOD OF JESUS
04:36
|
|||
|
I knew the things I did were not right
The holy spirit convicted my mind
And heart so strong I thought I would die
Until I ask and he did not deny
Please forgive me and take control
The blood of Jesus cleansed my soul
He is the way, he is the truth and the life
You can't see the father without the light
By way of the cross he came
And for our souls, his life he gave
Come unto me and I'll take control
The blood of Jesus cleansed my soul
Those who seek to save their lives shall lose it
To lose your life for my sake you will be saved
Now these days that I wait in labor
Shall not be in vein, how I long for my savior
Those chains I wore no longer can bind
Glory to god, his son is alive
And he said come unto me and I'll take control
The blood of Jesus cleansed my soul

WAGNER - In The Lonely Light of Mourning
by ERIC WAGNER
supported by 8 fans who also own “THE EARTHEN LOST”
Eric Wagner to me is a poet and a storyteller, his lyrics are thoughtful and profound and to take a quote about Chris Cornell “Nobody sings like him anymore”. He should never have died it was avoidable. Ask his bass player Ron Holzner? Too many rockers live recklessly and it has consequences for not just them and those in their families and friends but in the world wide family of rock and rollers. Live Long and Prosper Eric run to the light.
