My first song, totally recorded at home. It could be better, but it could also be worse...or it could be an orange playing squash... Cheers!




"The Eremite"

The sun's warmth on his dry skin
Comforts him
Nature feeds his soul
Though he knows he won't be whole

At night in his dwelling cave
Eyes are shut
The moonlight brings the dark
His thoughts are dark

I fish, I hunt, I take all these lives just to keep my heart beating for more
For something to live for
This forest is my asylum, my sanctuary, my heaven and hell
My home, my cell

Awake, alive
The sun will soon arrive
The carrying on
The fate he chose from dawn to dawn
At night, the screams
The bloodshed dyes his dreams
So bears the eremite

Carrying the burden of
Consciousness
He dwells with life as one
Has sealed his past, undone

Shivers from solitude
Penitence
She's alive in his grief
In his guilt

My tired old body aches, though not as much as the anguish within
What's due for my sin
Each day I arise and find the bite to keep my sorrow alive
To endure, I strive

CHORUS & SOLO

The memory of what I did to you is my punishment until my last day
Surviving, I pay

CHORUS

Just another grain of sand taken by the wind
Its meaningless path ends dissipated by the sea
