1. Gehenna
Believed by servants
They’ve no hope of death
Nothing but riddles
I won’t steal a victory
Burning is no answer
I’ve nothing to offer but blood
Then, on the third day
Begin to live at once
Rise, like lions after slumber
Who wants to be crucified?
2. Mortar and Pestle
Athanasius goes against the world
Far be it from us
The danger of thinking
Weary the path that does not challenge
The tyranny of the commonplace
The mother of crime
The power to change
Between the essence and descent falls shadow
The stillness in the room
But it does move
Some revelation is at hand
3. Orphan Mind
No man can
Reduce the world
I hear the message
But my faith is weak
An orphan afraid
To tell even himself
Sweep the sons
Of Adam down
Art may improve
Our own undoing
4. Disturb
This Hunger
I’ll endure
To whom could I turn
Thwart the proud
Live unknown
Do I dare disturb
The universe?
This longing
Come follow me
Let the world babble
God playing a fool
So outraged
By this silence
They are not long,
The laughter and the weeping
Something greater
Than chastity
The world stands on absurdities
5. Seeming to Be
Money is time
A day, an hour, a moment
He wishes that he, too, had a wound
A canker to every conscience
The wicked happy
Go forward always, an equation
6. Contrarian
Midway on our life’s journey
A tattered coat upon a stick
I believe the stars
Sustain and abstain
Let all be imperfect
Nature, in her indifference
Uttering a new word
We have given our hearts away
I know everything but myself
7. Come September (instrumental)
