Valley Of The Calm Trees

Album: Surfing The Void (2010)

  • While passing through the clouds of diamond dust
    As two mock suns arise beside our one
    The sundogs guide the way towards the east
    And set behind the valley of calm trees

    The destination
    Unfamiliar sands
    Amongst the ice fog
    A DC-8 awaits
    Our means of travel
    To visionary worlds
    Let us imagine

    Down in the valley the calm trees are swaying in time (we cant avert our eyes)
    Down in the valley the flowers are food for the mind (no sign of passing time)
    Over the hills where the mountains are tumbling down (a place of natural wonder)
    Visions are clear as we notice the three suns align

    Upon arrival
    The dust and deserts drone
    And no resistance
    Could keep us from all time
    There is no notion
    In visionary worlds
    Let us imagine

    Traveling over the valley we feel the breeze
    Taking in everything that there is to be seen
    The suns in the distance are moments away from the dream Writer/s: JAMES NICHOLAS RIGHTON, JAMIE OLIVER JACK REYNOLDS, SIMON LEE CAMPBELL TAYLOR-DAVIES, STEFFAN HALPERIN
