Descending Lines
This is Colorfields live...
We have arrived
We have arrived on these shores in this time
to be the change you wish to see in the world
With descending lines
running back through time...
"There is an indefinable mysterious power that pervades everything
I feel it....
It transcends the senses" - Mahatma Gandhi

Dare To Dream
I couldn’t tear myself away
Caught between your sights
And I’m blinded, frozen in your headlights
And I gotta tear myself away
From these monsters in my mind
‘Cos I’m drowning in these words, these thoughts of mine
We’re heading on a collision course
I close my eyes... I dare to dream...
I dare to dream:
From the spaces in between
Where it felt like I had tunnel vision
My decision was to turn away
Now I’m living with the consequence of this today
I dare to dream:
There are certain keys that will unlock the door
And show you something more
Things you thought you’d never see before
People that you thought you couldn’t be before
I dare to dream:
From the silence there are voices that are calling out your name
They’re calling you to join the chorus
Burning all these fires for us -
They’re lighting up our way
I dare to dream:
Some day we’ll break it all down again
And build it from the ground again
Aand heal the universal sound again
I dare to dream.
Look how long we’ve stayed the same
See how far I’ve cast the blame
Look how much we need to change
But I’m frightened of these feelings I can’t tame
We’re heading on a collision course

Incidents
Time and time again
I’m standing here
On this battlefield I call my mind
While life never seemed continuous
Just broken recollected
Broken recollected incidents
I was giving my light away...slipping away
And I was spilling my time...slipping away
Now I think that I’m healing
I’ve started feeling again
I’m excited that I can start stirring things up again
My life never seemed continuous
Just broken recollected incidents
I was giving my light away...slipping away
And I was spilling my time...slipping away

Watermark
Is it my own fault?
Where I desire it
Listen to my heart
In dreams I design it
My soul
It’s where you’ve come from
And there’s nothing in your way
It’s where you’ve from
It’s in state of art
In ways I’ve denied it
You were right here from the start
My legs trail behind me
My soul
It’s where you’ve come from
And there’s nothing in your way
And there’s nothing in your way
And there’s nothing more to say
We’ll live with everything today
It’s where you’ve come from
To reach the watermark
Leave the rage behind you
And where you find the heart
And reach the watermark

Retribution
how can you tell me you own what is heaven sent?
while i’m trading my time
you’re dictating my money spent
i’ve filled up my mind with ways
to ride the waves of my dissent
but i’m still here, i’m still here, i’m still here
wondering where i’ve been
‘cos you can cast your net
far and wide
you can cast the first stone
if you’re without sin
‘cos it feels too tight
this skin i’m living in
i’m an outcast
i’m a misfit
i’m not gonna be who you’re telling me
and i won’t eat your shit
i’m not gonna buy
what you’re selling me
you’re selling me
down the river
you’re
the
deceiver

The Machine
This land is full of broken people
Some are damaged beyond repair
And while they manufacture deviants of blame
The gears keep grinding
They say the cream always rises to the top
But these boots keep trampling underfoot
They never stop
From up here the lights are dazzling and blinding
I am starting once again
You’re breaking all my dreams
And nothing’s what it seems
And I am stardust once again
Awakening my dreams
I’m splitting at the seams
These lives are made up of both tragedy and beauty
In adversity I’ve seen the human spirit rise
And rise above and rise beyond your darkened skies
You pull the rug out from beneath our feet
Leave us shards of glass... But your boots will hide the pain
The very earth beneath your feet, beneath your fingertips
We will return from whence we came
Revolutions changing hands
Are handing out the guns that line the coffers
They’re lining up the coffins
I never speak
And when I speak it’s like tearing a hole in my throat
I’m a freak
And I need this respite, I need this release
I can’t entertain it – I’ll unleash the beast
But I need to escape
I need this free-flight
My wings are all withered and tethered too tight
And it’s wearing quite thin
It’s wearing me down
I’m wearing my heart on my sleeve
It’s bound to deceive me again
I’m placing my faith in believing again
‘Cos somehow I think things were better back then
I think things were better

Crack Back the Whip

Crack Back the Whip
True rebellion is not revolution
True rebellion will not see the tables turned, it will not turn full circle
True rebellion will not happen in crowded streets amidst noise and violence
True rebellion will not be hijacked, it will not be popularised
True rebellion will not be made fashionable
It will not be wrapped up and sold to you over the weekends
True rebellion will not be concerned with positions of power or privilege
True rebellion will not be concerned with the accumulation of material wealth
True rebellion knows that to own is to be owned and to possess is to be possessed
They steal your freedom and sell it back to you
Let’s take it back:
crack back the whip
Sever all the ties that bind you
Put out all the lights that blind you
Cover all the tracks to find you
Crack back the whip
Shoulder over look behind you
Lessons and mistakes remind you
Somma let the tapes rewind you
Crack back the whip
And on the dotted lines they’ve signed you
Never let them mastermind you
Knock out all those teeth that grind you
Crack back the whip
And over time they have streamlined you
Hypnotising ways spellbind you
But this is not how god designed you!

The Knights of the Supermoon
The nights are filled with the light of the supermoon
And time stands still for the Knights of the Supermoon
The nights are filled with the light of the supermoon
And time stands still: We’re the Knights of the Supermoon
Will we rouse the mighty rebels?
I have lived amongst the devils
See my blood is watered down
And I am sounding my distaste
While the battle lines keep blurring there’s a sleeping giant stirring
The Knights of the Supermoon
All the telltale signs are lines upon my face
And while the silence carries weight and pain and my disdain
I wonder, are there any of you left out there at all?
I’ve seen a million miles, a million times
You can’t contain this fight
No matter what you do you can’t put out the light
The nights are filled with the light of the supermoon
And time stands still: we’re the Knights of the Supermoon
And while we’re witnessing the times that change
The rise and fall
It’s always been the writing on the wall
And with a simple sleight of hand
The scars upon the land will fade away
Will we rouse the mighty rebels?

Stay With Me

stay with me
let me be the one
to unlock the sun
and lord i pray,
we’ll live to see the day
if you would only stay...
it’s times like these
when i feel my heart
beating in my chest
i could walk away
or seize the day
and make it pay
i catch my breath
and i’d like to know
how deep these
waters flow
i’m all lost at sea
won’t you stay with me?
and we’ll breathe in the sun
until we both become undone
while we float endlessly
it’ll just be you and me
and i’d like to know:
where do these waters flow?
and when they all reach the sea
will you be with me?
do we borrow, do we lend?
do we break or do we bend?
‘cos it’s written in the sands
and it’s slipping through my hands
will you stay with me, my friend?
will you talk to me again?
while our memory depends
on the message that we send
all the lessons i have learned
and all the bridges i have burned
if we could live it all again
then our broken hearts would mend
this promise i intend
to keep until the end of time
and time and time again...

As a Child I Dreamed of the Jungle
I didn’t like school
But art was ok
Thank God for the girls
‘Cos I’d fill up my day
With thoughts
Of who I could be with
If I was some other guy
Now I’m much older
Things are alright
But sometimes I still
Lie up at night
And wonder, when will it all begin...
I wonder, where did it all begin?
I don’t need to go down in history
I don’t need to unlock the mystery
I’m satisfied to be old school
I can see the wise man in the fool
Certain truths I have always held close:
The ones you hold tight
Are the ones that hurt most
The blind lead the blind
And keep shifting the posts...
The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost
Now I’m lifting the blinds up
And the sunlight’s streaking in
But it seems like our time’s up
In the meeting of the minds
In the reading of the signs
In the changing of the guard
In the running out of time
As a child I dreamed of the jungle – we were free

Bangalore (Follow the Sunrise)
Follow the sunrise, walk the open skies
I’ve got my sights on the skyline
Horizons arriving and rising again
Somewhere beyond the treeline
I’ll make my home again
Simple navigation keeps telling me to go
Without hesitation
And if i get there.... i don’t know
Follow the sunrise, walk the open skies
Like outlawed lovers in the desert
We’ll put the miles behind us somewhere they’ll never find us
With trouble on the frontlines
We’re heading out the door, bring up the bangalore and
Follow the sunrise, walk the open skies

You Can Let Go Now
Well you held so tight through that one last night while I told you it’s ok
Now you walk outside in the summer rain, try to wash it all away
These words remain unspoken still, I wish that I could say
And I wish I could turn back the clock and start it all again
It hurts to say goodbye
Mmm, it hurts to say goodbye
Now I’m sifting through the debris for the reasons i can find
I search among those faded puzzle pieces left behind
I swear i could’ve fixed it but I never took the time
Why we do the same things over yet it always blows my mind
It hurts to say goodbye
Mmm, it hurts to say goodbye
But you can let go now, baby, you can let go now
It’s okay, you can let go now
‘Cos it’s hard to keep holding on
So you just let it all blow away
Sometimes in the silence I wonder where you are
It’s been a long time coming, a long time coming
And somewhere in the distance yeah I see it from afar
But I’ve spent my whole life running
It hurts to say goodbye
Mmm, it hurts to say goodbye
But you can let go now, baby, you can let go now
It’s okay, you can let go now
‘Cos it’s hard to keep holding on
So you just let it all blow away
