On The Edge and Beyond (Copyright all rights Reserved APRA 06/2006) L Sharman


On the edge
you were looking out
On the frontier
In the decay of the forest
Burning of the land
Dance in a circle
Under trees of green
Watch the world from a faded sunset
And rise up
From your broken dreams
On the edge you were running from
The last frontier
In the decay of the buildings
Turning of the land
Dance in a forest
Under the sacred green
Save the earth from
Greed of gold
Rise up
Let the weeping willow be
On the edge and beyond
You were standing there
Looking out
In a changing world of decay
Save it now
On the edge and beyond
You were standing there
If they could only see
There may be hope for another way
There’s so much hurt
There’s so much pain
Why do we do it to each other
Can’t seem to make no sense of it
On the outcome
And in the end
Who pays the price
In this Dilemma
On the Edge and beyond
On the edge you were looking out
On the frontier
In a view of the twilight
Where the fireflies fly
Dance in a forest
Under the twilight sky
Save the earth from greed of gold
Rise up
Let the Rainforest man be
To chorus:
On the edge and beyond
You were standing there
Looking out
In a changing world of decay
Save it now


Saturns Moon
Current mood: melancholy
Category:  Philosophy

Today we seem to prefer the word depression over sadness and Melancholy. Perhaps its Latin form sounds more clinical and serious. But there was a time when melancholy was identified with the Roman god Saturn. To be depressed was to be in Saturn and a person chronically disposed to melancholy was known as a child of Saturn Since depression was identified with the god and the planet named for him, it was associated with other qualities of Saturn. . For example he was known as the old man, who presided over the golden age. Whenever we talk about the Golden years or the good old days we are calling up this god, who is the patron of the past .The depressed person sometimes thinks that the good times are all past, that there is nothing left for the present or the future. These Melancholic thoughts are deeply rooted in Saturn's preference for days gone by, for memory and the sense that time is passing. The thoughts and feelings sad as they are, favour the souls desire to be both in time and in eternity and so in a strange way they can be pleasing

Reference: Thomas Moore from the Novel "Care of the Soul "


This reference inspired us to write Saturn's Moon

Saturn's Moon

Nothing feels right
When I am in this melancholy mood
Alone in my room
In the dead of night
In the cold blue light
Under the glow

from Saturns Moon

And I tell myself that everything will be okay
It won't be long before this
Dark cloud fades away
And I tell myself there will be a new dawn coming soon
When I break the spell I know so well in the glow from Saturn's moon

Nothing feels real
When I am stranded in this world of illusion
No where to hide
In the cold blue light
Under the glow from Saturn's Moon

And I tell myself that everything will be okay
It won't be long before this
Dark cloud fades away
And I tell myself there'll be a new dawn coming soon
When I break the spell I know so well in the glow from Saturn's moon

Cause thats the way I feel

In the glow from Saturns Moon
