Voice of the Cosmos

about

Dedicated to Audrey, who had once asked me about my convictions

lyrics

I tread the trail of tragedy, traveled on alone
When I beheld the harried hall around a hollow throne
Then waded I through welkin skies, woeful, wandering on
Deprived of dreams of drighten seen, adrift before the dawn
And slowly as I slip into, a sightless weary sleep
Cautious, I now cast aside the dogmas that I once did keep

Silence and darkness around a formless place
The cold desolation adrift through time and space
Countless points of starlight through black of night did break
The giant eyes open the universe awakes

In my dreams
Amid the astral plane
The voice of the cosmos
Is calling me by name

Behold the light of a thousand ages past
And all that will ever be within my mortal grasp
Upon the rays, my lucid form ascends
Beyond this reality my conscious mind transcends

In my dreams
Amid the astral plane
The voice of the cosmos
Is calling me by name

I walked the desert they call peace
To find the answers men would seek
To put their weary minds at ease
And all the gods of legends old
From countless myths the elders told
No power over man can hold
And empty threats of kingdom come
The will of wrathful gods be done
Are nothing new beneath the sun
Final question no more lies
What is the meaning of our lives
If there's no thrones up there in the sky

For this no answer can be found
(To satisfy for all mankind)
And to no dogmas shall be bound
(No righteous ties or holy lies)
By my hand my world defined
(The and of time shall now unwind)
To carve my fate to my design

As above (it's calling, it's calling)
And so below (it's calling me by name)
The voice I hear (it's calling, it's calling)
Is one I know (from the astral plane)
By myself (it's calling, it's calling)
But not alone (it's calling me by name)
The voice I hear (it's calling, it's calling)
Is but my own (from the astral plane)

Cosmic mind
Let your hands unwind
You and I entwined
Forever we're interconnected

In my dreams
Amid the astral plane
The voice of the cosmos
Is calling me by name

In my dreams (as above)
Amid the astral plane (and so below)
The voice of the cosmos (the voice I hear)
Is calling me by name (is mine alone)

Honor Bound Reno, Nevada

In the frostbitten heart of Reno, Nevada, an oath was sworn in blood to continue and expand the musical legacy of those who came before. From this sacrament, a band had formed and staked their claim as the last power metal band in Northern Nevada. They fly the flag of heavy metal-dom and proselytize its virtues to those who seek to find a new meaning. And to their oath, they are honor bound. ... more
