Learn to know the secrets of the soul
As we chart a course through space and time
Life beyond the body may be whole
Come along and see what you can find
This is death and death is one and all
Now existing out of mortal roles
Travelling all distance in no time
Understanding all there is to know
Still, without a sound, lungs not breathing
No pulse to be found, heart stopped beating
Rise away from the ground, no solace in grieving
Is this where the journey begins or am I leaving?
Could it be the secret of it all
Is no more than laughing at your life
Playing all your cards the way they fall
Will you hold your hand or roll the dice?

The Serpentine Path
05:31
|
|||
You set sail in a sinking ship
Joining dots in the sky
On a voyage in search of truth
Across an ocean of lies
You live shrouded in darkest night
In all the hours of the day
Finding nothing but mystery
To help you on your meandering way
To the beat of a silent drum
Your mind ambles on
And at the end now of every day
Another year has gone
You’re gone…
Those who find patterns in coincidence
Who can’t decipher myth from fact
Who draw conclusions in the great abyss
In time will find themselves upon this twisted path
The Devil’s sign, the great divine, entwine inside your mind
The stars align, the tracks of time all coalesce and point to you
Upon the path
Upon the serpentine path

Sun and the Moon
04:55
|
|||
See the rays of the setting sun
From the top of the mountain high
And as empires build and burn
Generations are born and die
Feel the planet beneath you turn
As day and night flash across the sky
In our haste we forget to learn
To count the days as they pass us by
As the sun and the moon share the sky
All will pass in the blink of an eye

The Devil's Sign
04:00
|
|||
As sure as the sun will rise
And the sky is blue
It’s clear to see the Devil’s sign
On you
As a moth to the flame
I’m drawn to you
All that was sacred is profane
And there are lies where there was truth
All the lessons learned
And all the tests of time
Fall by the wayside when I see the Devil’s Sign
As the sky turns to rain
You choose to steal and not be saved
But what is mine cannot be claimed
If it is taken to the grave

Cursed
06:37
|
|||
There is a shadow in the meadow
That is not governed by the sun
And now the Autumn months have ended
Before the Spring has begun
This land is cursed
There is a current in the water
It has us all and we will drown
And even if we could escape on to the riverbanks
We’d starve upon the barren ground
This land is cursed
How long until their spirit dies?
How far to the fall?
Fear is etched in the people’s eyes
As they sing a song of sadness from their soul
How much can you sacrifice
When your life is of no worth to your god
And you’re crawling on your knees in an endless plight
To bow to an invisible lord?
But not by virtue of some mystical decree
This is the way ordained by man
To be subservient and live upon our knees
We crawl across this cursed land
So on and on our tale progresses
Without the deepest depths in sight
In time this will all be forgotten
In the dark of the night
But our land is cursed!

Snake Eyes
04:18
|
|||
Now the table is set
And the dealer is prepped
All your tokens are stacked
And you can’t take them back
Time to roll the dice…
Snake eyes!
Now you’re down to your last
All your chances have passed
No hope and no friends
Roll the dice again…
Hahahahahaa!
You went all in and lost
Now you’re facing the cost
But it’s better to have lived my friend
For we all see those eyes in the end
Snake eyes!

By Your Hand
03:30
|
|||
Can you see this man?
Now look him in the eye
You can see he struggles every day
Just to stay alive
And there is no escape
Whatever way he tries
He’s on the hook now you’re bleeding him dry
By your hand he’ll die
By your hand he’ll die
You made a deal in the dark and there’s no going back
Your veins run cold your blood runs black
You made a deal in the dark and there’s no going back
There are many more
Crippled by the weight
All caught living hand to mouth
Day to day
One ordained in a holy order
One raised on a rope
One taught they are always righteous
Another left without hope
One born with a loving father
One burdened with sin
One delivered on a silver platter
One is silenced before they begin

The Forest
05:53
|
|||
I have been in a forest
Where songs are hidden in the trees
I have heard calling voices
There are rhymes among the leaves
Behind a mossy bank
Hidden in the dark
You’ll find an ancient root spreading
A pattern forms
Buried under years of earth
A silent voice is calling
Calling
I have wandered by a river
Where melody carried in the stream
I heard it’s flowing voices
There are rhythms in the breeze
