During the summer of 2013, in the governors mansion, a shadow appeared in the attic of the old slave house. This song was born and the lyrics were compiled from a book*.
lyrics
I pause for a moment
Arrest my attention
It was beyond doubt
the sound of a heart beating loud
I had arrived at the entrance
Knock on the wooden door
Hollow sounding wood
Upon the kingdom of persuasion
A dull dark & soundless day
Where the houses are ancient
History I made
The ghost floated away.
I pause for a moment
Arrest my attention
It was beyond doubt
the sound of a heart slowing down
Then arrive at the entrance
Knock on the golden door
Solid sounding wood
Upon the kingdom of Creation.
