Sounds pretty Darn awesome! Maybe an instrumental version?

lovely production and meaningful lyrics Peter

great lyrics..I guess everyone can doubt or regret their state in life but you can't go back..like the understated quiet music

Great sounds - Really original and very effective vocals :)

This is giving me The Pet Shop Boys in ambient mode.

Great mixing on this track. Love how you've got the stronger synth sounds soft in the mix.

Decise and affirmative music!!   Enlightening and life-affirming music!!

A man in a suit
Goes to work every day
Sells stolen goods
To people who pay.

Dreams of the future
The promised land
A jewel thief
From Amsterdam.

He sells jewellery
He sells rings
He sells clocks
And other things.

Once a saint
In dawn’s sweet chorus
A failed priest
Son of Horus.

Life after life
No way to return
Long-lost pathways
Bridges that burn.
 
He does his job
No more or less
Avoids the curse
Of being blessed.

Goes out for breakfast
Sign says, back soon
Coffee and doughnuts
A snack before noon.

Then back to the store
The hours go by
Nowhere to hide
Nothing to find.

Once a saint
In dawn’s sweet chorus
A failed priest
Son of Horus.

Life after life
No way to return
Long-lost pathways
Bridges that burn.
 
How does he live
This tall grey man
His long dark suit
His frame so frail?

The life of the centre
Flows past his door
Has he been here forever
In this dimly lit store?

Dreams of the past
The promised land
A jewel thief
From Amsterdam.

Once a saint
In dawn’s sweet chorus
A failed priest
Son of Horus.

Life after life
No way to return
Long-lost pathways
Bridges that burn.
