The inspiration behind this site is a mixture of two songs. One of them is called "Desert Rose" by Sting, the other is "Fiction (Dreams In Digital)" by Orgy. Through their lyrcis I was struck with the idea for Moonrise, though the title came much later. I have been in love with these two songs for a long time now, but never did their lyrics reach me until now. |
"Desert Rose" -Sting I dream of rain I dream of gardens in the desert sand I wake in pain I dream of love as time runs through my hand I dream of fire These dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire And in the flames Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire This desert rose Each of her veils, a secret promise This desert flower No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this And as she turns This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams This fire burns I realise that nothing's as it seems I dream of rain I dream of gardens in the desert sand I wake in pain I dream of love as time runs through my hand I dream of rain I lift my gaze to empty skies above I close my eyes, this rare perfume Is the sweet intoxication of her love Sweet desert rose Each of her veils, a secret promise This desert flower No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this Sweet desert rose This memory of Eden haunts us all This desert flower, this rare perfume Is the sweet intoxication of the fall |
"Fiction (Dreams In Digital)" -Orgy She's lost in coma where it's beautiful Intoxicated from the deep sleep... deep sleep Do you wonder what it's like living in a permanent imagination Sleeping to escape reality, but you like it like that Guilty by design, she's nothing more than fiction She dreams in digital 'cause it's better than nothing Now that control is gone it seems unreal She's dreaming in digital And your pixel army can't save you now My finger's on the kill switch I remember I used to compose your dreams; control your dreams... And don't be afraid to expose yourself before I shut you down You made some changes since the virus caught you sleeping Guilty by design, she's nothing more than fiction She dreams in digital 'cause it's better than nothing Now that control is gone it seems unreal She's dreaming in digital 'cause it's better than nothing Now that control is gone it seems unreal She's dreaming in digital Guilty by design... Now that control is gone, it seems unreal She dreams in digital |
