This lyrics are about a fictional television game that enables you to have a day off, when you are struggling with yourself to do your ordinary duty (whatever it is)
This is a sort of inno and prayer to be spared from all things that give you anxiety.. while you are travelling to your destination on a monday morning!

I once went horse riding not far from the Canadian border in Washington State. Cowboy hat, chaps, the lot. The guy in front yanked his horse's reins when it started to eat grass, causing it to kick backwards hitting my horse... which set off at a gallop. Yee ha! Unfortunately, the expedition leader was cross, accusing me of showing off! Nevertheless, it was exhilarating. 

All the guitar parts were played on a Duesenberg Paloma

Story:

Elarion follows the call of adventure to save his village from a dark manace that may only be overcome with the help of a magical artefact. He leaves his beloved wife Kira and travels through deep forests, dreadful swamps and dark mountains until he reaches a mysterious cave.

Seemingly uninhabited he soon faces the creatures of the underground, some curious, some frightened, some threatening. The artefact is guarded by sentinals who are defending it with their lives. Elarion is able to steal it and is chased constantly throughout the whole kingdom. But he finally reaches the village and defeats the ominous threat.

Music:

In this purely orchestral track I tried my best to establish a memorable theme that I developed throughout the piece. It starts sad and melancholic, then bold for the adventure part. In the cave it is reharmonized in a dark and suspenseful manner.

After an action sequence, further variations follow, orchestrated with choir und brass. Again, an adventurous and heroic part with trumpet and horns is next. After a softer part with strings and woodwinds, the choir comes in and leads into a climactic finale with the theme played by strings in octaves.

Elarion's Odyssey

Sipping coffee at dawn watching time slip away
Want to step out of the rat race, please God answer my pray

Coping with the mundane every single day
This self painted picture won't fade away
Searching for meaning beneath this charade
This life with myself isn’t an easy one, I’m afraid

Bills on the table memories untold
Life of existence emotions on hold

My mind's a mixtape running loops on repeat
Sometimes it’s familiar and sweet

Coping with the mundane every single day
This self painted picture won't fade away
Searching for meaning beneath this charade
This life with myself isn’t an easy one, I’m afraid

My clock hammers seconds that merge into years
Holding back reality, fighting back

Coping with the mundane every single day
This self painted picture won't fade away
Searching for meaning beneath this charade
This life with myself isn’t an easy one, I’m afraid
