Shiver
04:09
|

|
when you move in
right up close to me
that's when I get
the chills
all over me
and if I ever see you walking
down the street
I get the shviers to the very core of me
shivers
down the back of my neck
to the base of my spine
and when you're in the room
the only thing on my mind is
shivers

Wandering
04:11
|

|
wandering
down a long and lonesome road
and only the gods
know
which way this system goes
yet on it goes
on it goes
still we wander
farther away
from our homes
still we roll
because we are the machine
and we've got to roll

Born in dark, an empty space devoid of time
Spirits weave, envoys of the conscious mind
And through the void, I see the light and I hear it call,
call my name, though I have none
It says, "Hero! Come and take me to
the sphere of life, death, love and fear."
So I stole the light, from its sacred pedestal; its holy resting place.
The Gods all scream, and give chase
They yell "Raven! Oh trickster god
do not bring mind into the dimension of time!"
They call me
Trickster
of a Thousand Faces.
When I arrive, I'm looking up at starry skies,
I see the moon, the glow of morning sunrise
and I smile, knowing that I found a place to bring the light,
I rejoice and cry out into the night
I say "Luna, dear Sol!
Ravens brought the you gift of consciousness to the soil!"
When the Gods come, and they see what I've done,
They ascend to their rightful place,
In a vast new pantheon,
Inner kingdom
And we reign,
Through the mortal sphere of life and death, joy and suffering
They call me
Hero
Of a Thousand Faces
All of those, who bask in the light
They call me
Hero
Of a Thousand Faces

THE ARROW, FLIES
SWIFT AS LIGHTNING BOLT
CUTS THE AIR
IN THE MOUNTAIN COLD
DEATH IN DEFENSE OF A CAUSE
WELL MEANT
THE INSTINCT OF INTELLECT
THE BOW
STRENGTH
FURY NOW BENT
BEGS TO LET LOOSE ANOTHER MISSILE
AWFUL WITH INTENT
THE STRING
FORCE
SNAKE READY TO REND
TO BITE THE FLESH OF THE PREY YOURE STALKING
NOTCH DRAW RELEASE AND ASCEND
LET FLY THIS DEADLY ARROW
THE ONE TO FEED MY FLESH
THANK THE ALLFATHER
MOTHER BELOW
AND THE LIFE FORCE WITHIN THIS DEATH
THE HERO RIDES
SWIFT AS THUNDERBIRD
CRACKS THE SKYE
AS SILENCE CRACKS WITH WORD
A FATAL ADVANCE
THROUGH A CLOUDED PASS
AN ANCIENT DANCE OF HUNT IS HAD
HUNTER
ANTICIPATION
AND PREY
PREY
O!
THE BOW
STRENGTH
FURY NOW BENT
BEGS TO LET LOOSE ANOTHER MISSILE
AWFUL WITH INTENT
THE STRING
FORCE
SNAKE READY TO REND
TO BITE THE FLESH OF THE PREY YOURE STALKING
NOTCH DRAW RELEASE AND ASCEND
LET FLY THIS DEADLY ARROW
THE ONE TO FEED MY FLESH
THANK THE ALLFATHER
MOTHER BELOW
AND THE LIFE FORCE WITHIN THIS DEATH
HONOUR THE GODS FOR THIS KILL
THE ONE TO FEED MY FLESH
THANK THE ALLFATHER
MOTHER BELOW
AND THE LIFEFORCE WITHIN THIS DEATH

to always keep a steady hand

dont let no woman
drag you below muddy water

Cold Ground

DARK WAS THE NIGHT
COLD WAS THE GROUND
WHERE MY HEAD WAS LAID
SWEAT LIKE DROPS OF BLOOD
RAINING DOWN
AND I PRAYED
"FATHER, REMOVE THIS BITTER CUP
IF SUCH BE THY SACRED WILL.
IF NOT, IM CONTENT, TO DRINK IT UP
THY PLEASURE I FULFILL
COLD GROUND
IS MY BED
COLD GROUND
UNDER HEAD
COLD GROUND
IS MY BED
COLD GROUND
FOR THE DEAD
