Time inflicts its own wounds It's healing properties are wasted in the age of youth Our deeds and memories are fortified as Seasons pass And mark out histories that never change And what remains is each life's legacy The white blank page of innocence is scripted from the start As each leaves its signature As each life makes its mark And every single victory as well as our mistakes Can never change and what remains is each life's legacy Within the glorious moment the seeds of reverie Are captured in a movement perfected by degrees With every soul's existence the strength of emapthy Will never change and what remains is each life's legacy

Flags in the harbour like vertigo reach into the distance of letting go The Sun's shining like a bonfire in the sky Voice of the ocean in the throat of a shell Spectators in the frontline sell The possibilities of everything that money can buy Land of the Long White Cloud Your time is up The Sun beats down Land of the Long White Cloud You filled your cup just to pour it out A loud rhythm of silence greets The chorus of approval from these dead end streets The Sun's shining like a furnace in the sky Histories for sale at the highest price Auctions of ambitions offer up the birthrights Of generations yet to claim them Land of the Long White Cloud Your time is up The Sun beats down Land of the Long White Cloud You filled your cup just to pour it out God defend us

The quality of mercy is not strain'd, It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest; It blesseth him that gives and him that takes: 'Tis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes The throned monarch better than his crown; His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, The attribute to awe and majesty, Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; But mercy is above this sceptred sway; It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, It is an attribute to God himself; And earthly power doth then show likest God's When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, Though justice be thy plea, consider this, That, in the course of justice, none of us Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy; And that same prayer doth teach us all to render The deeds of mercy.

The Impending Adorations New Zealand

"The dreamers are the saviours of the world. As the visible world is sustained by the invisible, so men, through all their trials and sins and sordid vocations, are nourished by the beautiful visions of their solitary dreamers."
