And as our door becomes open, A rush of sound is found inside Creating Dreams that pass you by. You may live through your life a long long time.. But you will never know from where it came, Yet all you've seen is what you've wanted to, You`re walking forward as you look behind, Still watching those old memories fade and die... This door is heavy, and is deeply stained, With wasted tears, that try to fight in vain, You may be sitting, feeling quite secure, But listen carefully - and this key is yours - For we can lead you far beyond that door... there are dangers hidden, trust in that language and it is precisely this conception that which must not be changed the epitome of our language is patterns containment of thought and sound I die to fight!! I die to fight!! I die to fight!! Upon this key, time will slide, Beyond each lock, you lose your mind. And as our door becomes open, A rush of sound is found inside - Creating Dreams that pass you by.. Bent cold sidewalk, open the gate, I may be late but I can no longer wait. Stealing the crown that stood me up, I'm laying the table with dusty plates. Bent cold sidewalk, open the gate, I may be late but I can no longer wait. Playing the god to fix your gaze, I'm holding you firm on another day. Bent cold sidewalk, open the gate, I may be late but I can no longer wait.

In the words of all that's singing Hand in hand, the beginning is at the start. Legends can be now and forever Teaching us to love for goodness sake Legends can be now and forever Loved by the sun Loved by the sun Loved Who sings of all of loves' eternity? Who shines so bright in all the songs of loves' unending spells Holy lightning strikes all that's evil Teaching us to love for goodness sake Hear the music of love eternal Teaching us to love for goodness sake Legends can be now and forever Teaching us to love for goodness sake Sweet songs of youth, the wise, the meeting of all wisdom And if you're interested, here's the lyrics to the unused 'Legend' vocal sung by Susanne Pawlitzki (however you spell her name???) I dreamed a dream. What can it mean? I dreamed that I was a maiden queen. Guided by an angel mild. Witness warm, was never beguiled And I wept both night and day. And he wiped my tears away. Was so sad, didn't know why, he wiped my tears away, Came to me. Night and day I kept on cryin' And hid from him my heart's delight. So he took his wings and fled, then the morn blushed rosy red. I dried the tears, I armed my fears with a thousand shields and spears. And soon my angel came again. I was armed. He came in vain. For the time of youth had fled, and gray hairs were on my head. Soon my angel came again. I was armed. He came in vain. For the time of youth had fled, and I found gray hair was on my head. (Supposedly this is from a poem by William Blake) Dancing On A White Moon - Shy People (1987) ------------------------------------------- [Transcribed by Dave Datta, and Bob Pietkivitch] Dancing on a white moon with a twist like a century breeze Moving through a typhoon, feel it sticking it's a cap on a dream brother done what we learn God had us start to roll. Occasionally feeling, the rust of love in my soul. You're not in my mind, don't need you. Whatever love I can find, I won't need you. With my emotional life. Aimless dreams chase in my heart, Feeling like a loser in an unknown game. Walking just a fool in the backyard, Getting wounded by the timeless jealous flame. Touching my heart like a silver knife, As if drawn in a newsprint cartoon. Yelling for love! While dancing on a white moon. You're not in my mind, don't need you. Whatever love I can find, I won't need you. With my emotional life. There's a freight train running through my brain, A restless ego is a part of it's wheels. Silver flashes harbored in the shame, Burning all that my soul feels. As the sun shines bright on both evil and good, So let the Light of your eyes shine on me! Respecting your way, yes I would, Tied up by the rising tide of my dark sea. You're not in my mind, well I need you. Whatever love I can find, I will feed you. Through this emotional life. Again, you're not in my mind, well I need you. Whatever love I can find, I will feed you. Through this emotional life. Through this emotional life. Through this emotional life. Through this emotional life.

In every cry of every Man, In every Infant's cry of fear, In every voice, in every ban, The mind-forg'd manacles I hear: How the Chimney-sweeper's cry Every black'ning Church appalls, And the hapless Soldier's sigh Runs in blood down Palace walls; But most thro' midnight streets I hear How the youthful Harlot's curse Blasts the new born Infant's tear, And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse. (Excerpt from "AMERICA") Rise and look out; his chains are loose, his dungeon doors are open; And let his wife and children return from the opressor's scourge. They look behind at every step and believe it is a dream, Singing: "The Sun has left his blackness, and has found a fresher morning, And the fair Moon rejoices in the clear and cloudless night; For Empire is no more, and now the Lion and Wolf shall cease." -- Artist: Tangerine Dream Song: The Smile Album: Tyger THE SMILE (poem of William Blake [1757-1827]) There is a smile of love, And there is a smile of deceit; And there is a smile of smiles In which these two smiles meet. And there is a frown of hate, And there is a frown of disdain; And there is a frown of frowns Which you strive to forget in vain, For it sticks in the heart's deep core, And it sticks in the deep backbone; And no smile that ever was smiled, But only one smiles alone That betwixt the cradle and grave It only once smiled can be; But when it once is smiled There's no end to misery. -- Artist: Tangerine Dream Song: The Fly Album: Tyger THE FLY (poem of William Blake [1757-1827]) Little Fly, Thy summer's play My thoughtless hand Has brush'd away. Am not I A fly like thee? Or art not thou A man like me? For I dance And drink and sing, Till some blind hand Shall brush my wing If thought is life And strength and breath, And the want Of thought is death, Then am I A happy fly, If I live Or if die. -- Artist: Tangerine Dream Song: Tyger Album: Tyger THE TYGER (poem of William Blake [1757-1827]) Tyger, Tyger, burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry? In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand dare sieze the fire? And what shoulder, and what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand? and what dread feet? What the hammer? what the chain? In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? what dread grasp Dare its deadly terrors clasp? When the stars threw down their spears And water'd heaven with their tears, Did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the Lamb make thee? Tyger, Tyger, burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Dare frame thy fearful symmetry? AT DARWIN'S MOTEL (Goblins Club, 1996) -------------------------------------- compiled from several messages on the tadream mailing list: Message: 2 Date: Tue, 09 Jul 2002 21:44:11 -0000 From: "Dr_Chandrasegarampillai" Subject: At Darwin's Motel lyrics mystery revealed Hello all, Sorry if this is already discussed, (I'm new to this group) but I've seen people were asking about the meaning of lyrics from "At Darwin's motel". The truth is, the sample is in Sanskrit, it is a Dhyaana Shloka, invocation song of Hindu goddess Lakshmi, goddess of wealth and prosperity. You can find the whole thing at http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Delphi/2627/tstotmal.html the lines you are interested in are: vande padmakaraaM prasannavadanaaM saubhaagyadaaM bhaagyadaaM. hastaabhyaamabhayapradaaM maNigaNairnaanaa vidhairbhuushhitaam. The translation would be: "I salute the Goddess, who bears lotus flowers in hands, who is of smiling face, bestower of all fortunes, whose hands are ready to rescue anyone from fear, who is adorned by various ornaments with precious stones." ---- > It's evidently a publicly available sample, since Enigma used the identical > bit on Enigma 3 (I forget which track). Personally, I think it fit the > Enigma track much better. I've found also an artist on mp3.com who uses the same sample. Curiously the song name is "Dark Dreams". Personally I think the sample fits this exotic song even better than in the Enigma track. You can listen to it at http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/94/tolga_.html BTW, the Enigma 3 album liner notes says: Samples taken from (...) Lettonie - Musiques des rites solaires by Rasa Ensemble Riga, Vocal and instrumental music of Mongolia. So, the sample on "Darwin's Motel" must be one of these. ---- Sanskrit used to be spoken/used in Mongolia, especially as a religious language. So it makes sense that a Mongolian person/group could be singing Sanskrit -- it's not that different from an American group/person singing in Latin. ---- Not sure if the sample has already been identified but its from "Hearts of Asia" by Spectrasonics .No idea about the sources Enigma have listed ? ----
