Dance on the Edge of a Sword

Choreography and Set: R., with help by Sho Kyong
Music: “Dance on the Edge of a Sword” by Zorch Boomhauer. (SL musician)

R. says “Represents the anger and pain I fight every day. The constant storm in my head.
You must be true to your word, and if you stray from the path, you’ll be slashed to bits.”

Let me Dance on the edge of a sword
Let me stand and fall by the weight of my words
Let me walk in the sun
Let me choose where I run
as I Dance on the edge of a sword

The world and all it’s wisdom
Seems easy to forgive
Because from where I’m standing
Every man dies, but not ever man lives

Two paths lay before you
Which one will you choose
Because from where I’m standing
You have the most to gain when you have nothing to loose

Echoes

The names of the wraiths are Kevin and Bartholomew.

Overhead the albatross
Hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine
And no one showed us to the land
And no one knows the where’s or why’s
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb toward the light
Strangers passing in the street
By chance, two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can?
And no one calls us to move on
And no one forces down our eyes
No one speaks and no one tries
No one flies around the sun
Cloudless everyday
You fall upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning
And no one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky

Eagle

They came flying from far away, now I’m under their spell
I love hearing the stories that they tell
They’ve seen places beyond my land and they’ve found new horizons
They speak strangely but I understand

And I dream I’m an eagle
And I dream I can spread my wings
Flying high, high, I’m a bird in the sky
I’m an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high, what a feeling to fly
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that I please

As all good friends we talk all night, and we fly wing to wing
I have questions and they know everything
There’s no limit to what I feel, we climb higher and higher
Am I dreaming or is it all real?

Is it true I’m an eagle?
Is it true I can spread my wings?
Flying high, high, I’m a bird in the sky
(I’m an eagle)
I’m an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high, what a feeling to fly
(What a feeling)
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that I please

And I dream I’m an eagle
And I dream I can spread my wings
Flying high, high, I’m a bird in the sky
(I’m an eagle)
I’m an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high, what a feeling to fly
(What a feeling)
Over mountains and forests and seas
Flying high, high, I’m a bird in the sky
(I’m an eagle)
I’m an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high, what a feeling to fly
(What a feeling)
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that I please

Dream a Little Dream

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper “I love you”
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
Say “Night-ie night” and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you’ll miss me
While I’m alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I’m longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I’m longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

Dove Amore

Dov’e L’Amore
Dov’e L’Amore
I cannot tell you of my life
Here is my story
I’ll sing a love song
Sing it for you alone
Though you’re a thousand miles away
Love’s feeling so strong
Come to me baby
Don’t keep me waiting
Another night without you here
And I’ll go crazy
There is no other, there is no other
No other love can take your place
Or match the beauty of your face
I’ll keep on singing til the day
I carry you away
With my love song
With my love song
Dov’e L’Amore
Dov’e L’Amore
Where are you now my love?
I need you here to fold me
Whispered so sweetly
Feel my heart beating
I need to hold you in my arms
I want you near me
Come to me baby
Don’t keep me waiting
Another night without you here
And I’ll go crazy
There is no other there is no other
No other love can take your place
Or match the beauty of your face
I’ll keep on singing til the day
I carry you away
With my love song
With my love song
Non c’e nessuno
Non c’e nessuno
Non c’e nessuno
Bello come te e ti amo
Come to me baby
Come to me baby
Another night without you here
And I’ll go crazy
There is no other there is no other
No other love can take your place
Or match the beauty of your face
I’ll keep on singing til the day
I carry you away
With my love song, with my love song
With my love song, with my love song

Do You Hear What I Hear?

Do you hear what I hear?
Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see?
(Do you see what I see?)
Way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what I see?
(Do you see what I see?)
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
(Do you hear what I hear?)
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
(Do you hear what I hear?)
A song, a song high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know? (Do you know what I know?)
In your palace warm, mighty king
Do you know what I know? (Do you know what I know?)
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say! (Listen to what I say!)
Pray for peace, people, everywhere
Listen to what I say! (Listen to what I say!)
The Child, the Child sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light
