Lotus Hunt 06:12
I spy with naked eyes Your lips caressed by his Kiss Oh the fire that burns within I will make you feel the Sin Here in the dark of night I will paint a picture bright To make you fall from light Causing you to want to fight Dance just for me Won't you dance till I'm free Let go of all you fear and fall with out me near I unearth a master plan For you to love an ugly man You'll play my game till I see fit That you should be my Queen and sit Next to me in paradise for your words were cruel and made me despise. How could you be so careless and unwise. Now you must pay the ultimate prize Dance just for me Won't you dance till I'm free Let go of all you fear and fall with out me near

You make me wanna ask If I can trust what you say For your words seem to good To believe I should stay You make me wanna find Another way out of this bind As long as I am away from you I have the chance to find the truth Elysian Fields Is where I am Elysian Fields is where I belong All I want is for you to stay away. But I am the one who can't stay away. You have caused me many woes You lied saying your a friend. When you've stepped onto many toes. How can you ever begin to mend. You cannot face the truth So u run to find another route When you stop you cannot seem to breath. So instead you stay a mute. Elysian Fields Is where I am Elysian Fields is where I belong All I want is for you to stay away. But I am the one who can't stay away.

Ahh... As I take a walk on this journey To find what's within me. As I look around all these different people places towns. I'm looking for a sign To say that i'm someone Who will be great in this life of ours Ahh... Like the alchemists dream of a place in serenity. We must look within ourselves... ??? As I ask questions For I can't find answers As I move around lost among the stones and waterfalls I'm looking for a sign To say that i'm someone Who will be great in this life of ours Ahh ...

No longer do I wear these chains My eyes have been opened to your ways No longer do I feel shame I wanna stake my claim Give me joy, give me light in every way I call for the time to Santhoshum Interlude ​ No longer do I wanna cry My heart is finished with your lies No longer do I hate For I have no interest to wait Give me joy, give me light in every way I call for the time to Santhoshum Hook ahhh I am now free to find my way

Arising 03:52
There's no going back to the old ways. I've gotta feeling that is good No more manipulation plays The words you say no longer good Pre-chorus I'm gonna put my lipstick and my best dress on Call all my good friends go dancing cause I'm rising Arising, ohhh no more sleeping tonight I'm arising ohh this feeling, this feeling makes its alright arising x2 smiling,shining, Oh no more sleeping tonight Arising... There's no pleading to say anything U no longer feel the need to hear Dramatization of tears No longer have nails that pierce. So I'm gonna put my lipstick and my best dress on Call all my good friends go dancing cause I'm rising Arising, ohhh no more sleeping tonight I'm arising x2, this feeling makes its alright arising x2 smiling,shining, Oh no more sleeping tonight Arising... The illusion no longer scares I'll put my tears in a sack Burry it with the rest There is no more need for holding back... So I'm gonna put my lipstick and my best dress on Call all my good friends go dancing cause I'm rising Arising Oh no more sleeping tonight I'm arising x2, this feeling makes its alright arising x2 smiling,shining, Oh no more sleeping tonight Arising...
