While thinking about the topic for writer's island I began to question what exactly was an imaginary life. Is it not yet actualized reality? I began to think about the many facets of my 'life'; the waking life of this 3D reality, my dreaming life - full of epic journeys through gossamer lands, and my 'imaginary' life of my inner world - the depths of mySelf. But these lives are one and the same sea of Me as we are one in the same...
I wrote this song about 12 years ago when I was in a band called Gypsy Soul...it seems to explain better my imaginary/inner life which is sometimes more vibrant that this 'reality'. I've altered it a bit, as 'oo yeah' doesn't quite translate on paper ;)
The Unseen copywrite 1998 Oracle Jones
Close your eyes, come inside my heart. I am the darkness
All you see, is more if you believe in the unseen
It's where shadows mend the world pretend
Where lost strangers roam alone in vain...
The forces will join us inside the wilderness to embrace us
When you call my name, Shout!
The Black Departed, the Seeker of the Flame
Come seize the Day
Come and Grip the Tidal Wave
Enter through the Barricades
Enter this Wilderness Maze
Hey lost soul, have you lost control of your heart?
Have you lost control of your heart....
Hear now, get up and look around
Are you on your knees again?
In this silent shadowed town
The players come, they make no sound
The keeper comes to take the wheel
The unseen is now revealed...
It's where dreams collide in daylight's sky
Crying, "I'm still alive! Will you feed me?
Come and heed me?"
Lost soul I am lost inside your heart...
When you Call my Name, Shout!
The Black is Departed by the Seeker of the Flame
Come Spread your Wings
Come and Grip the Golden Ring
You can do anything...anything
Inside this Shadowed town
The players make no sound
Come take the wheel,
It's been revealed, we've been revealed
On and on and on and on it's coming down
Take my hand
Cross the line
Close your eyes...
