lyrics

American Jewel

“Each god who rules in the sky
Bids from the altar, ‘Arise’”

No-one mentions
Wanted, wasted ties
Good intentions
No-one for advice

In the ring
The gloved against the world
The Furies sing
And tragedy unfurls

“Seek the truth by mountain and will
Just mortal man trying still”

Who confronts
The different roads to please
Who’ll step in front
Insist on being free

The rope to weigh
The burden, siren call
The beam, the train,
The flask to find it all
