Luster of Midday

I
Stumbled Upon
This Crown laced with thorns
Am I worthy to watch the world burn?

A mountain in size
A will that is small
Golden Cloud in the sky
It breaks the fall

My mind
Fragments and pieces
Put to the side

Slow Climb
Torturous Vice

It gets better
Slowly releasing its grip

Golden Cloud

	4 am, wake up, wake up 
	Shave, wash
	No time for coffee
	Drive, drive, slow down
	Ship is coming
	Far in the rain
	First tender… Still cold and wet
Let’s do the job
	Get on board
Agent on board !
	Paper’s, papers
	Ship is clear
Pax and crew
A shy ray of sun
Brings me warm

10 pm : All on board
Let’s go back home

4 am, wake up, wake up 
	Shave, wash
	No time for coffee
	Drive, drive, slow down
	Ship is coming
	Far in the rain
	First tender… Still cold and wet
	Get on board
Agent on board !
	Paper’s, papers
	Ship is clear
Pax and crew
Waiting for the sun
Waiting to see my son






Lets do the job

Sometimes things go my way
Sometimes a win make a great day
I ain’t always down on myself

Mostly man, I like what’s in the mirror
Sometimes I think 
Jerry Reed would be better

Just saying, stuff piles up
Saying, don’t want to face it
Bear down and power through

Mostly man, I like what’s in the mirror
Sometimes I think 
Jerry Reed would be better

Alarm clock going off
That time again
Sun soon coming up
Thankful for another day

Alarm clock going off
That time again
Sun soon coming up
Thankful for another day

Down time in the afternoon
List of never ending honey do’s
Put up my feet, take a snooze

Mostly man, I like what’s in the mirror
Sometimes I think 
Jerry Reed would be better

Alarm clock going off
That time again
Sun soon coming up
Thankful for another day

Jerry Reed Would Be Better

Dead Highway

Written and performed by Josh McAlexander

A hold on me (Original)

The part that sounds like a bass in the middle section is actually tapping using an 8-string guitar. Naturally, no bass was used at all for this part. Lately, I've been exploring the potential of the lower strings, and tapping and slapping are part of that. Regarding the song's theme, I've been deeply contemplating the grandeur of the universe and humanity recently, and I composed this piece wanting to express that atmosphere through my guitar. I'd be delighted if you could feel a sense of floating and light-like speed within the song. Finally, thank you so much for reading this far. I think you're truly wonderful!

Here we go with the start of a new epic… This time we travel back to the days of Merlin and tell his tale, the tale of his life outside of King Arthur… The life you probably know very little about. So please sit back and enjoy as we tell his story over the next 6 songs. We begin with “The Great Sorcerer” himself.

1. The Great Sorcerer:

See that mist, where dragons live
How can someone see so many tomorrows?

In the shadows
Staff in his hand
Shapeshifting to beasts of earth
Creating myths of our once reigning kingdom
Creating myths of the weakness
And the greatness of men.

And we still hear
Look at all there’s to learn
Science, Science,
The only purity there is

Born at the wrong end of time
Living backwards from in front
We can’t forget he told our unparalleled King
Power of mind’s not enough,
Power of the body decides

This is our Great Sorcerer
We are in awe how easily he
Steps between our two worlds

Earthly, supernatural

Knowledge, the mastership to change fate
What a double-edged sword
Reveling in results of his power
Disregarding the harm

Teaching esoteric
Incantations and spells
To the Lady of the Lake
And in time you know he surrenders to her
He could protect fools from themselves
Couldn’t protect himself from himself.

This is our Great Sorcerer
We are in awe how easily he
Steps between our two worlds

We still mourn how easily
He’s trapped in a cave forever

We still mourn how he easily
He’s trapped in a cave forever
