misanthropicadam Isaac salamander really pulls it off on this album for a solo album this is outstanding although I prefer his family's band this album completely blew me off the wall. It is amazing and Isaac Hill can do no wrong when it comes to this album... also the loop is my fav

In the seasons of my youth, I have fought to find the Truth Through the pleasure and the pain, this old yearning stays the same Try and try, all my might, when I go to sleep at night will I wake up at dawn or will I see another mo(u)rn? If I opened up my heart it would tear me apart for to let down my guard it would take the grace of God It'd be more than I could bare, for me to let you in there All my vulnerable desires would be tinder to your fire If I could speak the Truth it might be I cannot do really, anything at all. Even let the banner fall or surrender by the skill of my own free-ish will Nothin' doin' nothing done, whether I have lost or won

Temperance 04:15
So seek and ye shall find what's before and behind the forest of your mind and all you think you know It's not what it has seemed and between you and me there's nothing so discrete as a flame and a shadow o my heart, let me go o my head, don't wait until I'm dead to feed me the sweet bread of letting go push or pull empty or full wrong or right fight or flight here or there unjust or fair changing or still do what thou wilt I believe to be what you want to be you have got to give it all absolutely but when the carrot is always out of reach what else is there to do for me? push or pull empty or full wrong or right fight or flight here or there unjust or fair false or true it's up to you To separate the Truth from all the lies you have got to see it from the outside but if when I have tried all I can try, and nothing seems to satisfy, love what is it that has to die? I believe to really succeed at getting what you want you've got to let it be 'cause if your life is a gift to be received, what else is there to do but be Love ain't nothing else to do but b e will or fate gateless gate slow or fast pathless path long or short effortless effort lost or won Thy Will Be Done

blinded by a restless urge underneath all i have purged sometimes you have what you don't need sometimes i starve what i should feed rise up, rise up, if you can cast off your useless skin and leave it in the sand i don't want you to do what you don't wanna do ladders up to the sky leave behind your offerings and never question why i would wait for you to sail into the blue touch my feet back to the Earth so see the Sun for what it's worth Sacred Garden, Paradise silhouettes in the sunlight rise up, rise up if you can cast off your useless Skin and leave it in the Sand sometimes you have to do what you don't wanna do Ladders up to the Sky leave behind your offerings and always question why i don't have to wait for you to Sail into the Blue there are Seven Days and Seven Rays and Seven Bridges along the way on the Seven Bridges Road there are Seven Histories, and Seven Mysteries and there are Seven Myths to Be, along the Way Home there are Seven Wonders and Seven Wanderers and Seven Thoughts to Ponder along the Way Home along the Way, along the Way, along the Way Home there are Seven Ages and Seven Sages and there are Seven Stages along the Way Home there are Seven Heavens and Seven Blessings and Seven Reckonings along the Way Home along the Way, along the Way, along the Way Home but there's no Church, no Steeple no World, no People no Good or Evil Along the Way Home There's no Truth to See No Love to Be No You or Me Along the Way Home Along The Way, Along The Way, Along The Way HOME

If I didn't remember who you are would you listen to the World in my heart? Feeling stupid in the back of the room through the darkness, all the smoke and the gloom I fall on my knees to feel your soul Or I wouldn't remember who I was and trade your memories for all of my trust Feeling stupid in the back of my head the silence fills it loud enough to wake the dead and fall on my knees to feel your soul all that I am is here and then gone

The Loop 04:57
from all that I've seen from the lives of the lucky, they don't seem so lucky to me they've built their whole lives on the sins of their fathers and not bothered to look underneath (chorus) but the thoughts in your head, the words that you've said the things that you do will all come back to you and you reap what you sow, you love what you know you hate what you can't understand and you go on and on on your loop born into life, thrown into being something feeling, seeming alive a link in a chain in a web of creation, but isolation and emptiness inside so you work for some wealth and you pine for some meaning but the feeling that you're lacking never leaves and the tracks set in space that you lay by their doing are the viewing of what you really believe (chorus) it's easy to say that there's no meaning, and it's freeing in a certain way but the tracks in space that I lay are leading towards meaning something more for me each day (chorus)

AC's Song 04:12
I know I told you what I think is true all love will fade away like the morning dew and it's a fool, love, who believes heartbreaks for fools because true love don't leave and it's a tender thing, easily killed by suffocation or by ill will or with complacency, or through abuse or just with time my love, and with disuse and I'm no angel, neither are you but I'm not jaded, and I'm not a fool and if anything is, this much is true I could float for hours on the thought of you and there are many others in the world beautiful women, and pretty girls but I have traveled from east to west and it's your loving that I like the best and so if heartbreak is to be my fate I'll bear it gladly, though a fool I'll make because of anything, of this I'm sure all feelings fade away, but memories endure but if when we are old and our love's still true I'll thank the angels for the love of you and I'll remember when we were young and I was fool enough to write you this song

Simple Care 04:42
I walk the woods on a winters day while troubled thoughts bubble away with worries of what others say with wishes to change yesterday and I am barely here (chorus) I wanna know just what is this living soul what is the part, what is the whole? I wanna feel just what is really real is there more than death can steal? the glory of life's majesty is revealed in a hawthorn tree to heal the hurt, to set it free to feel the love from you to me the touch of simple care to revel in the Living Earth is to know the agony of birth through the blood and pain and hurt the suffering that it is worth the price of Life is fair I wanna know just what is this living soul what is the part, what is the whole? I wanna feel just what is really real is there more than death can steal? I don't know what else I can say I cannot relive yesterday I can't go back or turn away and I wouldn't want to anyway I do belong here to have a body is to die to live at all is to wonder why to seek the sun beyond the sky to see the Truth beyond the lie to transcend the fear I wanna know just what is this living soul what is the part, what is the whole? I wanna feel just what is really real is there more than death can steal?

The Candle 05:22
the Candle burns in the window to see me Home all my fears burn inside me i'm getting close no matter how hard i've tried to see my soul when the Candle burns out will i be Home? the Road is long in the Mirror but up ahead the Horizon glitters as close as Death and of all the miles that have vanished through my eyes when i hit the Horizon will i Find that i'm always Home I'm always Home
