To the Diety in the haze - you win, Thank you for letting me finish as I meant to begin, You are in no way in heavenly space, Hollowed out. Forgiveness is over-rated anyway, It's not a sin, In to battle we go as they tempt us, Daily bread it gets to their heads. Amen.

4.	Kesh 03:26	lyrics	buy track
(It wasn't you) To love a good story you have to love the end as well, Write it all down from begining to the end, The protagonist again. Uncovered in glory, Just wait until the end. Draw up near the house, Burn the money with the rest, I've given it my bes... With everything above us and every hour we haven't slept, The world has overcome us - we walk the path of Kesh, The money dies tomorrow, We'll hear them ringing every bell, The good lord isn't coming - we have to help ourselves. We have to help ourselves.

about

In many ways this should be considered my first record. I'll leave the first two where they are but I hope it's obvious to people that they represent a learning period for me and my mixing and production abilities. With this record I am by no means the finished article as a producer but I do feel more confident about where I'm at, and I've pushed the boat out a bit more - musically speaking, knowing I'd be able to do more justice to it on the record. This was a record a long time in the making in terms of the subject matter, I'm glad to be able to finally put this stuff to bed. On to the next one!
