lyrics

Do you know the tale of the seven missing portraits?
Two of older men, and the rest of little orphans
Hiding in a crypt forgotten
Hiding with the long forsaken

No one ever speaks of the seven missing portraits
Take me to the crypt to determine how we lost them
Write down everything that I see
Find the paintings waiting for me

How do you deal with binding secrecy?
Are you compelled by viral complacency?
Will you break the mold and meet me
At the crypt to start the journey?

Once there was a man looking for the portraits
He entered in the crypt when he heard that they were stolen
Now he lives there, always searching
Stoke the legend—keep it burning

Would you hold my hand if we entered in together?
You can hold the light and I can be your cover
We can find the missing portraits
With the other hidden secrets

No other secret binds the dichotomy
For what is lost will not be a part of me
Living just to touch the mystery
This, I find, is most consuming

How do you deal with binding secrecy?
Are you compelled by viral complacency?
Will you break the mold and meet me
At the crypt to start the journey?

His multi-instrumental blends of the ordinary and supernatural provoke the thinking mind as much as it will the dancing feet. ... more
