Tales o' Desire 1-4

Tales o' Desire  -  Pan Thistle, 2015

Part 1 - Before The Dawn

Part 2 - Antiquity

Midnight boat leaving the shores of Actium
the journey has begun
a latent worry, a masquerade
a guessing game of your mind
round midnight
round midnight
tale o' desire
in your mind
tale o' desire
Welcome to the centre of her stage
action packs
tighten the noose round the neck of hope
champions fall
tale o' desire
the gains fixed
tale o' desire

Part 3 - Natural Rejection

Dark end of the street
words are bitter-sweet
Fear is the spark
that starts a fire
Your desire

Part 4 - Burying The Lede

You keep telling me, we've got to make a stand
all the killing, the maiming, the burning land
our weapons are blessed by leaders of the Church
have you got all the facts, who jumped the gun?
tale o' desire
A wartime hero turned into a vampire
how the question burns the right side
the wrong side found comfort in young blood
tale o' desire
comfort in young blood
tale o' desire
Prosperity and suffering
obscenity, the hyperlink expires
the planet is dying, mountains melt
energy leaks mar your silicon face
and all the while your pressroom mind is on
a flying car, a digital soul
that cannot handle the core,
mind control, insatiable desire,
professional liar
Give me more lies
courtroom theatrics
bad connection, start again
tale o' desire
tale o' desire

Full Empty

Full Empty  -  Pan Thistle, 2015          music video * based on the novel "Roadside Picnic" by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, 1971 The china bowl preyed on your mind a wild flame in your heart The car tossed and turned onto Western Highway the dummy tank full of swag The air turned hard let the blood drip down your marble face and drop by the outpost where the Blues hug the fireplace Were it just the greenbacks, a death-defying legend, noble cause or treason? The same voice, the evening rain Casual dreamer - falling down again Everyday schemer - freedom on a verse Caught inside your web, you bend the rules Blind faith dealer "Millions upon millions of people knew nothing! It was what they wanted! To know nothing and.. even if they found out, they'd probably ooh and aah for five minutes.. then go back to their own routines" Casual dreamer Everyday schemer Caught inside this magnetic trap "so-so" dealer Pull back the night - got to k...

Lethe Wings

Lethe Wings  -  Pan Thistle, 2018  In the darkest depths, Lo Manthang caves The ghost of ages lost in a daze Clouds of illusion dance in waves Fire and water Let there be Light Stories of light on the red plateau Over the Himalaya Air is thin Standing at the end Lethe Winds Precipice in life Truth lies within Standing at the end Lethe Wings Wandering monk, keeping the faith Paul had a dream, Peter had a blade Going with the wind, anywhere is home No matter the people, weather or alone The posturing of kings, the craftiness of thieves if and might have been a tyrant or a creep Forbidden thoughts and Thought Police crumble instantly Aimless Days Lethe Winds Lethe Wings A reflection of the moonlit spring Who's there? Nobody, no title or name but I see your horse is tired, your face looks drawn... Need fresh water, fill your flask for the road There's a wedding in the village Lo New life, new hope, promise of a better world And more... Stories of Light

Losing Control Again

Losing Control Again  -  Pan Thistle, 2025 Losing my mind, losing my soul Ain't no way out of this man made hole Go round in circles, off the deep end Losing control again   Envelope face, envelope noise Rolling and shaking broken toys A Justice failed their own polygraph test Losing control again   And I would if you let me But you won't forget me   Smiling dictator, warfare state Men of the hour, iniquity gains Gaping loopholes in ethical traits I'm losing control again   Testing my faith, a deal with pain Tables are turned, I'm losing anyway A campaign of fear, sponsored by the state Losing control again   And I would if you let me But you won't forget me There! They are selling again The same Patent Fake concern They drive me round the bend   Weathering vessel caught in a storm - with no end We are unable to hold a course - Captain Where? Lightning stabs out of dark clouds - boiling overhead And I'm losing control again   Fine Nereides ...
