On top of all that, it was great meeting all of you guys. I hope we can do it again soon. I loved the excursion and will rap about this all night on the radio show. Thank god for preproduction work.
One of the tracks from a new disc promo I recieved had a track that truly summed up the day, and Hanover. I loved it so much, I feel it is perfect to break the rule and play it tonight.
Here are the lyrics:
Only just above the surface..
The particle gods
Created by culture's rich lattice
Only doomed to fade
In a light that grows brighter (spirit of the furnace
)
Never far below the surface... (the foundations)
A beast defeated (the pines)
By culture's lattice (the settlers)
Declining (self explanatory)
Invitations into nothing (searching for the ghosts the way we do)
An Arc, a Covenant
Broken By Language
Metaphor and simulation
Melted by a light that grows brighter (the furnace)
Once shot across a narrow causeway into... (Hanover)
Heaven, Nirvana, Dreamtime
Our dead spoke to us. (through the artifacts)
We tilled our fields
We rode to war (Revolutionary, 1812)
Our dead spoke to us (today on our trip)
Without a space to call their own
Still seeking the light... (of the furnace)
Still craving the light... (as we do
)
Then hating the light... (as they did)
Finally holding the light... (which I hope we all will.)
Deliriously tired,
Tom
