Forgotten Gods
Stretched out on lost highways where landmarks are cathedrals, Mad Patty lost his coin Golden resurrection Ostara is coming three sisters will take you down Hawk circled high while I hanged upon the tree sacrificing flesh Golden resurrection Anubis is judging Puppy please come home All was quiet when I lost my name all was quiet until they came weighed a feather against my sins ready to begin again all was quiet when I lost my name all was quiet until they came weighed a feather against my sins to walk the labyrinth What have I done? I have called the Father I have sacrificed my flesh hoping this war would fail
It’s Not Easy
I’ve been tempted before to walk away and leave with courage
Been blinded once more I tasted your sweet addiction and I, I want more
It’s not easy in your chain of love, not easy when you’re all I think of and I’ve walked miles I’ve walked miles Indecision got me again nothing comes of nothing when you only pretend and I, I want more It’s not easy in your chain of love, not easy when you’re all I think of and I’ve walked miles I’ve walked miles
The Rosetta Hotel
Welcome to the Rosetta Hotel where you’ll decipher your own personal hells or heavens You can’t leave through the front door you’ve got too much shadow to explore - it waits for you All that you’ve said all in your bed where you thought you were alone when you thought you were alone someone was there
Welcome to the Rosetta Hotel take the elevator through your mind and find your forgotten worlds forgotten gods even your ancestral line they’ll be there smiling
All that you’ve said all in your head when you thought you were alone, where you thought you were alone – I want you to take in all the sights while you’re here I want you to breathe in all the life that is here, I want you to take in all the sights while you’re here I want you to breath in all this life all this life
Welcome to the Rosetta Hotel where you’ll find your own personal hells or heavens If you leave by the front door you’ll miss the self-guided tour and it waits for you
