A lamentation on mortality, navel-gazing and lunar behaviour, written straddling the gallows of lockdown under the pastoral eye of a wise tutor.

Great March West

this is a piece for my series on Virtues, but tempered by the theme of my song "Wings of Faith" which is about how Righteousness is the thing that drives good men to do evil.  it starts with the first half of "Wings of Faith", then explores the question of why it goes wrong. 


[Intro]
In shadows cast by sacred walls
Where light and dark both stand tall

[Verse]
Preachers call the faithful near
Words of love mix with fear
[Verse]
Guided by a faith -- searching for the higher ground
Good intent on the way -- shifting like a passing cloud
[Chorus]
With belief, we lose and find
Right or wrong, in hearts confined
[Verse]
The weight of words and holy vows
Sometimes they blur the lines somehow

[Bridge]
Good intentions pave the way
Yet shadows lurk where light should stay

[Chorus]
With belief, we lose and find
Right or wrong, in hearts confined
For good to do evil things
It's the faith that gives them wings

[Verse]
We measure right in shifting shades
Each path we choose, a game we’ve played
Mistakes are made in earnest peace
Bound by belief, without release
[Pre-Chorus]
Maps of virtue, lines of fate
Yet our visions drift and skate
[Chorus]
With belief, we rise and fall
Build our temples, then watch them fall

[Verse]
Lost in faith, a double-edged sword
Hopes and doubts, spinning chords
In the name of love, battles are waged
Lines that shift, in the sands they're staged

[Bridge]
In pursuit of what we deem is right
We draw lines that spark a futile fight
Bound by visions that sometimes blind
In seeking truth, we leave scars behind
[Verse]
Every heart holds a compass grand
Though they lead to different lands
For every light, there's a shadow cast
Intentions pure, yet they may not last
[Outro]
In this dance of righteous flight
We lose sight of wrong and right

This album is the recorded version of the poems in Maryam Ghouth's chapbook, 'I Ask My Being', which is available on Amazon. Music is composed by Arash Behzadi. In each poem, Maryam explored an aspiration, its accompanying struggles, and various observations to help her find solace in her experiences, all written with the intention of meeting her reality on its own terms.
