CHORUS: Days in the diary of Virginia Dare In Roanoke and elsewhere One by one till we all are gone Hello Croatoan One-hundred eighteen through the door We left the islands of the dead behind They stopped to write on trees and stones Something simple for the rest to find Raleigh’s charter just begun We took a gamble on a secret plan It was a risk to life and soul With forces none of us could understand CHORUS One hundred eighteen stood alone On a bridge about to burn Then we turned and closed the door Who could know that we would not return CHORUS So we were burdened to the roots With knowledge we were never meant to know And when the hinges turn again Someday it may be your turn to go CHORUS

Bigfoot 03:03
Pack up the bags, pull up the tent, yes, we're finally gonna meet the man. Throw out the compass, rip up the Atlas, 'cause it's a whole new plan. See him walking through the forest! Hands as big as two parked cars! Hey now, do you believe? Rip up the bags, throw out the tent, say now, where's my turtleneck? Pack up the Atlas, pull down the compass, hey man, tell me what do you suspect? Now he's eating all those berries! With all that weight he can't go far! Hey now, do you believe? Hey now, do you believe?

Can you see my house from there? Do you watch TV? I apologize for anything you see Did you build the pyramids? Do you circle crops? If you hurt the cows could you please stop? CHORUS: I want to believe there’s a place we can go To find out the things we were not meant to know It’s too ordinary as far as I see There's got to be somebody from somewhere else Where people are not as in love with themselves The world is a mess and I want to believe Would you ever take a chance And give someone a ride? I’d give anything to step inside Everything is awful here Nothing is unknown Funny that four billion feels alone CHORUS Maybe you’re all everywhere Watching from your stealth Maybe I’m just talking to myself I don’t care where you are from or even why you’re here Living in the mud is what I fear CHORUS

Leave your lifeline behind Stare at white and go blind Never stop never stop Teach your mind not to feel Or to tell what is real Never stop never stop This is how to hunt the Snowman This is how Give up hope every day But don't stop on your way Never stop never stop

(Back in the days of Atlantis…) CHORUS: Witness a being of violet fire and Witness the purity God desires and Witness the alchemist sanctified I am the man who would not die Onward onward to freedom Follow me the violet flame I, the power behind the throne I am he and I am here, the Count Saint Germain Do I seem familiar? I may have been known to you I have had many other names Merlin, Francis Bacon and Columbus just a few CHORUS The wonder man of Europe Moving us forward and yet I left so many hearts behind I weep for Lady Pompadour and sweet Miss Antoinette A deathless knight commander A seer who cannot wait Believer and a teacher My wisdom and existence must remain a work of faith Witness the purity God desires Witness a being of violet fire Witness the alchemist sanctified I am the man I am Witness the purity God desires Witness a being of violet fire Witness the alchemist sanctified I am the man who would not I am the man who could not I am the man who would not die

Nostradamus 03:01
Take these eyes They show Nothing good anymore Take this mind I don't See what I use it for I see heartbreak in your future but it can be turned around. I see a ship that never made it; it seems it's run aground. Your prayer might be too big to answer. Why not try on something small? Dashed hopes, endless entertainment - there's a season for them all. Would you change Your life If you heard my advice Rearrange And try Not to relive it twice Is it strange To find There's no right way? Why not try again, man? Drop a penny in the cup Why not try again,man? Drop a penny in the cup

CHORUS: So hungry so hungry the Triangle feeds On souls - it needs The lost ones Attention attention and SOS May heaven bless The lost ones Missing missing Empty space Fear and mystery Lost in place Bright and pleasant Not too far But so long from When they are CHORUS Something to nothing Sun to storm Here and elsewhere Cold and warm Gone and gone and Gone for good No one hears and No one would CHORUS Secret places In between Trapped inside a Frozen dream Never knowing Not again Wildly wonder Now and then CHORUS

There's something strange in Okanagan Lake. It once appeared, but went away. Sweet Ogopogo, Ogopogo! Please come home to Okanagan Lake!
10.
So many words left unsaid So many promises left for dead And I'm so sorry I'm sorry But don't you let me in CHORUS: I am not what I have been There's nothing to be done Life minus one I see fire but there's no heat All this experience - incomplete So if you're trying to find me I hope you let me go CHORUS Is there a light in the dark? Do we become more than what we are? Am I really talking to someone? Well even I don't know CHORUS

CHORUS: They came to Earth to give me this A power wreathed in mystery’s mist You will find, with just my mind I leave the solid world behind I’ll show you my abilities: Keys and spoons… And spoons and keys! It’s there before your open eyes You cannot help but recognize Don’t believe the doubting fools For I dominate the world of kitchen tools! When Randi steps up to abuse “Amazing”s not the word I’d use For he’s too quick to call me liar I’m no magician I’m a mystifier! CHORUS (a power weird, by mystery kissed) This magazine which bears my face Will bend your keys when set in place I swear, unless I miss my guess, You’ll see the psychic power of the press! CHORUS Discerning minds appreciate Deforming things that once were straight The world will not forget me soon Forget the Matrix, yes there is a spoon! CHORUS (a power weird, by mystery kissed)
