1. Hajime Play
Hajime

Winter melts away,
Everything undone -
Wither and decay,
Moss beneath the sun.

And with the touch of rain on our skin,
Misty dewdrops in our eyes,
Mother Nature longs to begin
Rituals of cool reprise.

From the cracking wood,
They emerge into the air.
All is understood,
Breathless in a prayer.

Welcome to the dawning age.
Plant your feet into the sand,
And with careful thought engage
Virile life across this land.

2. Red July Play
Red July

In the deep,
The birds fast asleep,
Black skies seem to weep.

Moonlight, do we dare?
Day, night - they don't care.

But I'm still here.
Don't pass me by.
Yes I'm still here,
My red July.

Is it fate
Our footfalls await?
Blind fear turns too great.

Moonlight, do we dare?
Day, night - they don't care.

But I'm still here.
Don't pass me by.
Yes I'm still here,
My red July.

3. The Winds of Change Play
The Winds of Change

If in your dreams you're wide awake,
You might be.
If suddenly there's more at stake
Than sand and sea,
You wait for the day.
You wait for the day...

Call the rising sun.
Call the winds of change.
For our paths are one,
Aren't they?

And when the rain falls from above
To hide me,
It's in this feeling, in this love,
That we will be
One moment away.
One moment away...

Call the rising sun.
Call the winds of change.
For our paths are one,
Aren't they?


And if those threads you made do fall apart,
You know you'll always have my heart.
And when the mountain peak seems too high to climb,
I will pull you every time.

4. The Secret Guards of Kale Play
The Secret Guards of Kale

In the hidden world of dreams,
Where nothing is the way it seems,
I went walking through the mists of morning.

Passing by a sunken plain,
I wandered into new domain,
But voices whispering from the trees surrounded me.
And they said:

"Follow blindly
Into Kalé,
And you will wind up
Lost inside.

Secrets binding
All the valley -
The winds remind us:
Move aside!"

Breathing harder, senses reeling,
I held onto that feeling,
For it showed me I was not alone.

And if ever I return,
I hope too see them through the ferny glades
And thank them for their words of warning.
'Cause they said:

"Follow blindly
Into Kalé,
And you will wind up
Lost inside.

Secrets binding
All the valley -
The winds remind us:
Move aside!"

6. Twilight Chaser Play
Twilight Chaser

Where sounds fade away,
Where light cannot stay,
In silence, they steep
What rays you keep.

Your needs come alive,
(Into the shadows, go.)
So pressed to survive,
(Beneath the branches' sway,)
The places you stir,
(Onward, racing,)
Twilight chaser.

And in this fight,
All is lost to the night.
For in this race, you're facing what you dream.
It's in the scheme, just out of sight.

And if you win,
All things left to begin,
Then you know you gotta claim the day
Before it slips away.

The deep calls your name,
(A voice that dances,)
Oh, slave to the flame.
(Why don't you answer it?)
And yet, you prefer
(Soul embracing,)
"Twilight Chaser."

Breathe and Dive

Waiting, knowing -
You're right on time.
Drift in, flowing,
To worlds sublime.

You run so far away.
In the mist of night,
You breathe and dive.

You reach the bright array,
And you hold the light.
You hold the light.
(Breathe and dive...)

Sinking, floating -
You weigh the tide.
Flickering, glowing,
This heart inside.


You run so far away.
In the mist of night,
You breathe and dive.

You reach the bright array,
And you hold the light.
You hold the light.
(Breathe and dive...)

9. Avalon Play
Avalon

Far away, sheltered by
Fields of grain swept by the breeze,
There's a place hidden from
The lonely world I long to be...

To wield the land,
To hear the sea
Upon the sands
Of ivory.
To feel your kiss
Fade with the dawn,
Beneath the mists,
O, Avalon.

Is it real or a dream,
This breathing isle, this beating heart,
Where the rains melt the sky
In sheets of haze that they part?

I wield the land,
I hear the sea
Upon the sands
Of ivory.
I feel your kiss
Fade with the dawn,
Beneath the mists,
O, Avalon.

This part of me,
Secret and strange,
How - through the years -
Are you still unchanged?

When I wake, don't let go,
Haven of light, my only home.
Wait a while, and once more
Hold out your shores for me to roam.

To wield the land,
To hear the sea
Upon the sands
Of ivory.
To feel your kiss
Fade with the dawn,
Beneath the mists,
O, Avalon.

10. Shadows Play
Shadows

Figures moving under the rain...
I see glowing streetlights, blurring the pain.
Children on the corner,
Staring as I drive away,
Hand prints on the window -
They all fade to gray.

Have you ever seen a shadow?
Have you ever known what they know?
Have you ever seen a shadow,
And left one behind?

Shifting, changing, never the same,
And the cold wind wonders how they became.
Wishing for an answer,
Hoping one day it'll change,
Praying for the flesh and the blood to fill them.

Have you ever seen a shadow?
Have you ever known what they know?
Have you ever seen a shadow,
And left one behind?

Blending exotic instrumentation with passionate and ethereal vocals, the earth comes alive as Origins invokes its new beginnings. The album, carried by Jillian's powerful voice, is a response to the lack of lyric-centric works in contemporary New Age/World music - unified by themes of mystery, plight, and catharsis. With the magic of musical storytelling, Jillian takes you on a voyage through the awakening, and invites you to celebrate in its mysteries.
