1.
Do I see the light of heaven Up above Or am I staring at the inferno Below Am I trapped in between As my brothers and sons Or have I Have I met my reaping from the seeds I did sow
2.
Slow Soul 03:19
I send my many thanks To the masters of good will and restraint Well they rehearse Such terrible verse They don't scream or curse But they know how to assume the worst It frightens my slow soul To light a pire, and leaving coals To chill the bones of the wicked I was not a slave Just taught to behave in a certain way But I've learned changes that became The same thing every day My slow soul Is on compressed coal

Prayer #1 04:36
I've got so much to show for To make me the child you adore Oh, mother, Earth mother Mother doesn't love you the way I do Father, I don't mean to bother But I've begun to teeter and totter. I've been smothered, and I can stutter These are only gifts for you You know what is on mine You know what there is to find Whether I'll feel you on my ear Whether I'll make you disappear Take me as I am I'm doing the best that I can If good is not enough I can only vie so much for your love With blood on my hands They're no nails, but understand If good is not enough I can only vie so much for your love
4.
Gently ease me off my knees I'm not the kind of boy that needs to be apeased Press your palm into mine Lift me as our fingers intertwine In line In sullied mind
5.
Am I man who has met many mountains Or do I stand still Do I drown in parted waters At someone else's will Am I wrong to assume That golden serpents bear bad fruit That acts of greatness Can never be weightless And even when angels had woken I strain to hear if a single word is spoken This weight is too much I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't too much To handle This is too much to handle From on high
6.
Sinner 03:58
I am a sinner who knows his way I am your child who has lost his place I can't talk now But I won't walk out So hear me So clearly You are the hands that will hold my fears You are the son, and the moon, and the seer If it be true Send a sign soon If you be greater than man Maybe I can

Prayer #2 02:26
What started as a kiss on the forehead Led me to putting you in my life instead And I believe If I am him, and he is me There's nothing I can't see Or am I blind Enough that I get left behind I send my many thanks To every bright spot of every day No matter what I do or what I say You love me either way And I pray for success and love And that my words reach high up

Our Father 05:09
Our father loves and he lives For all that he takes and gives It is what it is And it is all his Our father lets the innocent suffer With the welfare of the wicked as a buffer All is fair in his love and our war A sensible man is battled and torn And I have lost the light What is wrong and what is right There will be a new life for me I don't know where it will lead But as far as I can see it is where I need to be
11.
In Darkness 09:45
instrumental
12.
If there is no father or mother in the sky Or brother to save my kind Then there is still something bigger than me Something I'll probably never see Maybe what my brother meant Was loving and to go and succeed my recompense To go hence At no one else's expense
13.
Brother 06:01
I have angels That stole me from my tomb I walk once more I glow with newness I grow from my roots I hear the score of victorious horns If a brother meets a brother To save one from the other I am reborn And I go to rest And I have been so blessed

instrumental

about

This is a concept record. It's not my story. It's just a story that revolves around ideas I've been thinking about lately.

I'm just saying... I got away with this. It's awesome, totally genius.
