The Tea Party - Splendor Solis

The River

Sailing down, down the Styx again
Without you my love, I want to return but then
I see all my friends, they want me to join but then
They all melt away, without you alone

And the river's running through my veins
Lately she don't seem the same
And the blood keeps calling out my name

I pass by the sins, left by a different man
The tides brought them here
Cast by a different hand
And the wisps of the winds
Blow with the Styx again
Pushing me on, without you alone

My will must be strong, to rise with a different life
My will must be long, I'm still pushing for different heights
And the wisps of the winds
Blow down the Styx again
The river runs red
And I'm left alone

Midsummer Day

When you've decided to hold on to all that you've lost
All this is nothing if she comes and tears you apart
All this is nothing if you hold the key to her heart
If you've decided to change what you thought was your way
This new way will take you to her and to midsummer day
All this is nothing if she comes and tears you apart
All this is nothing if you hold the key to her heart

And I'm crying in the night
I'm waiting for her call
Will you help me girl tonight
I'm waiting for her call
And I'm crying in the night
While she's flowing from my mind
And the sky is turning black

And I'm running out of time

You'll shed a last tear if you miss your road on the way
This new way will take you to her and to midsummer day
All this is nothing if she comes and tears you apart
All this is nothing if you hold the key to her heart

All you are is in you


A Certain Slant of Light

As the colours fade away my love
As the darkness turns to day above
Celebrate the one you love

And she says she has a friend inside
Who shows her everything she tries to hide
Please stop the pain inside

She don't know
Please stop her pain
I think she's coming down again
I hear the rain
She's coming down again
I hear the rain

And she's dancing with the hands of fate
While she's sleeping with the on she hates
And tonight they celebrate


Winter Solstice

INSTRUMENTAL PIECE


Save Me

I must leave you tonight my love
Remain so faithfully
I must go off to war my dear
The kings await me
I will go so far away
I will always love you
But you knew

I regret to tell you
Your man has died tonight
He was a brave man
He fought a brave fight
He was killed by the other side
He was killed by the other men's knives
She said save me

Why must you love this man
He is your brother This is easy to understand my son
There is no other
I cannot pretend to love this man
Like my father
I cannot pretend
Mother there is no other

When there is no truth
Let's end this lie tonight
This is easy to understand
Without your best fight
But I see a new sun
Rising in the east
She said save me
Save you


Sun Going Down

I woke up this morning
Someone was knocking at my door
And I said hello sweet Satan
I believe it's time to go

Thirteenth apostle knocking at my door
Telling me that I can't play with you no more
I guess the wages of sin now couldn't buy my meals
Screaming out your name babe, how does that feel

Feeling through the outdoor all throughout the night
Waiting for the doctor to come and make me right
Feeling from the bedside, I've lost all appeal
To stay with you baby
Baby how does that, baby how does that feel?

Sun's going down

Sing throughout the streets babe
And you sing throughout the night
You go and tell the people
People my soul is aflight
I guess the wages of sin now, yeah they couldn't buy my meals
I'm screaming out your name baby, how does that feel

Thirteenth apostle knocking at my door
Telling me that I can't, I can't play with you no more
I guess the wages of sin now, they couldn't buy my meals
I'm screaming out your name girl, baby how does that
Now honey how does that feel

Sun's going down

Looked at the heavens above and I said a little prayer
As if the heavens above would even care
I said "Jesus, won't you meet me in the middle of the air?"
I think my wings are falling below, Jesus, I need another pair
Jesus won't you meet me in the middle of the air
I think my wings are falling below I need another pair

St. Peter at the gates of heaven-baby won't you let me in, let me in
St. Peter at the gates of heaven-honey won't you let me in, let me in
I said now Peter, listen Peter, come on Peter
Won't you let me in!
Right now!

Yeah the sun was going down.


In This Time

Hey lady looks like I'm under your spell once again
Hey lady there just now ain't no denying these things

I will always be here
I will always be with you

And I know she's said
Let the leaves fall wherever they may
But I find it hard
Hard to find people like she is today

I will always be here
I will always be with you

When you lay to sleep
Tell me the visions you see in the night
When you turn around
What kind of shadow is cast by the light

She will always be here
She will always be with you
In this time


Dreams of Reason

Oh how the paths change
When the wisdom fades away
Something's going to change these times
And we'll watch them fade away

Never going to get it back
And that's what they say
When I've promised to change my ways
And we've all had these days

I can feel her
In the insides of these rooms
Something's going to change these times
And we'll watch them fade away

I really need your love
I've got to have all your love
It's cold outside
I'm trying to hide
I really need your love


Raven Skies

I am walking on
To the place of the light
And the things I see
With the starlight sight
In the dance of the fires
In the flames I see
Under raven skies
She will sleep with me

And I need her now
And I need you

Welcome to my garden
And what do you see
Welcome to my garden
Do you still see me

I am looking through
Through the dance of the trees
I experience
What a Shaman sees
I've returned within
I've returned with sight
Under raven skies
I will sleep tonight


Haze On the Hills

INSTRUMENTAL PIECE


The Majestic Song

With a thought
You could change what you've never really known
With a lie
You can take from the love they never showed
Come along
Come along now it's not too far away

And the streams
They are running to an ocean that is dry
And the sands
Of the ocean are the prophets in the eye
Of the sage
Who has chosen to forfeit all he knows
I know

And you know now that somethings never change
In a world that seems bound by human pain
Come along now it's not too far away
I know

And beyond
You will see how the ever changing glow
It surrounds
All the feelings you never thought you'd know
Come along
Come along now it's not too far away
I know
