about

Loosely based off of the incredible ancient poem in five parts, The Epic of Gilgamesh. This is a track with five separate lyrical sections. The Epic of Gilgamesh if one of the oldest greatest stories ever recorded by humankind & this track is one of our best ever songs.

lyrics

< P1. >

Drink to my health
Keep your sentiments to yourself
When I die there's another life to find

Sink in the depths of the deepest sea
In a trench
And i fight against the tide
I try and try and try

< P2. >

See them as they were
A king of old
See them as they are
A story told and retold
on the tip of your tongue and then gone

See them as they were
A genius child
See them as they are
Sick to death of life and fighting all the time

See them as they were
A living God
See them as they are
He still remains entombed
His name renowned
His legacy assured

See them as they were
An emperor
See them as they are
A frightened child who could not understand
The price in blood that stained his land

See them as they were
A poet king
See them as they are
An oversensitive and angry kid
Ashamed of all the things he did

See them as they were
A golden God
See them as they are
An overzealous man who though he held the power of God in his hands

< P3. (A) >

Its my ocean you breathe
Its the potion you drink
And the notion you feel is me

Way back when the flood began
I was such a younger man
Do you understand just what I am?

< P4. (A) >

Its a lonely mystery
A lonely mystery
This place has a haunted history my dear
Its a lonely mystery my dear
Hold 'em still for the surgery
This place has a haunted history..

< P3. (B) >

You draw circles in the sand
And you dream of distant lands
Was it ever in your plan to leave?

Far out to the ocean blue..
Feel it calling out to you..
Do you understand just what it means?

< P4. (B) >

Its a lonely mystery
A lonely mystery
This place has a haunted history my dear
Its a lonely mystery my dear
Hold 'em still for the surgery
This place has a haunted history..


< P5.>

Was I wrong to sing "In the void we're free." ?
Is it God or me writing my story?
How can I exist in a world so blissed?
And will I be sure?
Will my song endure?
