THE HERMIT

• The mantle of attainment
• Weighs heavy on his shoulders
• Guided by a lantern
• Flickering he grows older
• A refuge found in exile
• He shuffles on in blindness
• You'll take his hand, he'll lose himself
• Bewildered by your kindness
•  
• Enshrouded by darkness
• A figure slowly forms
• Through many years of banishment
• No Shelter from the storm
• To find this slave of solitude
• You'll know him by his star
• Then take his hand, he'll lose himself
• Knowing who you are

SHADOW OF THE HIEROPHANT

• Veiling the nightshade bride stalks a flower revealed
• Nearing the hour make haste to their threshold concealed
•  
• Lost in thought in search of vision
• As the moon eclipsed the sun
•  
•  
• Casting the same steps glimpsing his own fate to come
• Melt in the dream void from which he never can run
•  
• Lost in thought in search of vision
• As the moon eclipsed the sun
•  
• Tears fill the fountain failing their promise to heal
• Rippling the waters mirror an ended ideal
•  
• Deep in thought but robbed of vision
• As the moon eclipsed the sun
