Take the reins
Be bold and brave
Resolve complaint
Show no restraint
In making plain
You aim
To claim the prize
Collaborate with days of old
Reanimate the great unknown
Seek the place wherein famed jewels reside

Seek the place wherein famed jewels reside
Weep with grace
Embrace the jaws of life
Eyes without a face
Can make a late date reacquainted
Let them shine and thine night skies be painted
Let them shine and thine night skies be painted
(Immortalise)
◇
The eyes are the prize
This is where the jewels reside
This is where the diamonds sparkle
Lighting up the gorgeous skies
This is where the broadest sunrise activates its flawless rays
This is where the smallest trace of faith can bathe in waterways
While floral sprays blossom top to bottom at incautious pace
(Immortalise)

Floral sprays blossom
Top to bottom

Top to bottom at incautious pace

This is where the mysteries of ancients are translated
This is where illumination dresses up our faces
This is where a single look reveals us to be naked
Even when we stand there fully clothed
This is where we vocalise unspoken prose
Localising open roads to boundless destination zones

Free from obligations owed
Seen
Renowned
Then taken Home
Free from obligations owed

This is where we gain control of every pain that takes its toll
Play creative role of reawakened soul to make it so
Only the creators know the weight of our foundation oak
Only we can translate ancient code
(Immortalise)
Only eyes confide of where precisely precious stones reside
Relish in the treasure troves
Embellishing our pleasure thrones
◇
Embellishing our pleasure thrones
Embellishing our pleasure thrones
Relish in the treasure troves
(Immortalise)
Embellishing our pleasure thrones

Unbeknownst to those who only trust what they can see
Those nonplussed by hope as it denotes to them complacency
Those foreclosing masonry
With signs that state
No vacancy
Waiting for the late night train impatiently
◇
Too finnicky to picnic with infinity
For principally vacated seats are all they see
When always speaks its ornate piece
Rewards are great for all with faith that halls of fame reside inside us
Those whose souls light up their faces peeking through the ornate blinders
Many of us deemed outsiders
Which just means that we’re survivors
Look into our eyes and glean within a sea of swimming diamonds
◇
(Immortalise)
A sea of swimming diamonds
◇
Beggars fools and thieves may look to feast upon the blind
Yet they will never learn the deepest secrets in our eyes
◇
Cry a river
Try forgiveness
Be yourself
Through health or sickness
Find a cure for wellness
When it tells us to expel uniqueness
◇
Pick up from each hiccup
With the ears to hear sincere and prick up
Let them think you’re tickled pink by every pickled stink they kick up
◇
Hiccup
Pick up
Hiccup
Pick up

Hiccup

Drop a nickel in their tin cups
Or a shilling
If you’re willing
Should you be short on tourniquets
There’s always penicillin
◇
No need to play the villain of the piece
Place imposition at their feet
Take ammunition to extremes
On course collision to retreat
On course collision to retreat
Take ammunition to extremes
Place imposition at their feet
To play the villain of the piece
◇
Peace
(Immortalise)
◇
Let them see the prize
The gorgeous skies
Where all the jewels reside
Set thoughts aside
Divorced from sight
Get cool and fly
Immortalise
◇
Get cool and fly
Immortalise
Get cool and fly
Immortalise
Get cool and fly
Immortalise

Home is where the heart can heal in luminescent rays
Home is where we artists spend our ever present days
Home is where the diamonds shine the brightest in night skies
Home is at the heart of widest eyes
◇
Nothing cloak and dagger
Just a stunning open hangar
To the highest tides our minds can ride astride
◇
Take the reins
Be bold and brave
Resolve complaint
Show no restraint
In making plain
You aim
To claim the prize

Reanimate the great unknown
Seek the place wherein famed jewels reside
