Gordy Comes to Reason

Standin on a mountain
Hopes and prayers of my forebears
The Morning Star
Points the way
Into a world unknown

A battle's comin
If I journey forward
But this is what I've trained for
And so I travel alone

Alone
So I travel alone

Reason stands before me
A black and smoking dragon
The evils of my folklore
Manifest in flesh
Upon his throne

And she's on his right hand
Her long hair dark and flowing
And with those blackened eyes she's sayin
Boy you should have left it alone

Alone
Boy you should have left it alone

My sword unsheathed and heavy
Been waitin my whole life
I guess I'm ready
And she reaches out an offering

If I can prove my gods' might then
We don't even have to fight
She and Reason will simply stand aside

I point my sword toward the sky
And silence is my gods' reply
And anger drives my steel into the stone

And Arlie can you hear me
Through the sound of fallin trees
We wore religions chains like jewelry
I wish you'd call but I'm too gone
To find the phone
Don't know who I am no more

Drive the steel in to the stone
The earth cracked
The chasm grows
Steel into the stone

Pierce the very heart of faith
Steel into the stone

And she presses against my body
And I feel the darkness growing
My heart begins to harden
And my old beliefs are leaving

From this vision I awake
And through my blackened eyes
I watch the fettered stumble 'round

Mothers guard their children
As I walk down city streets
As if my visage will corrupt them

In the shop's window I
Catch a glimpse of my reflection
A black and smoking dragon
The evils of my folklore manifest

(I had this dream before)
(Like I've been here before)
A black and smoking dragon
The evils of my folklore manifest

(I've lived this life before)
(Fought this battle before)
(Evils of my folklore manifest)
