about

TRACK 1: Faces Of God



Picked guitar and voice

Inspired by Canadian author Joseph Boyden’s novel The Orenda, featuring
the presentation, synthesis, and conflict of vastly different world
views and the consequences of pre-modern structures of individuality and
decision making processes. Detailing the social, economic and political
ramifications of French trade, settlement and missionary work in the
St. Lawrence river on the Wendat, Haudenosaunee, Algonquin and
Anishanabe peoples.


Lyrics:

No deceiver or saviour 

will see me on my knees 

The wolf and the stag 

emerged from the same door 


Hopeless and fearless is time

scrawled up above

Who dares to mock me 

with words writ on high 


Each empire falls 

and wise men write 

as each season passes

and bird call changes tune


I have done nothing wrong

No question does not

already hold the truth

just that we cannot comprehend

how they are asked or what to say 


No storm can keep my feet at bay

as I pursue the light

and plant my flag

among the infinite 

upon solemn peak 


Each fleeting thought

and every breath

of wailing wind 

contains the germ and the key 

only the infinite can see 

seeds of progress

are falling leaves 

as it will forever be 


The wolf and the stag

emerged from the same door

where sunlight passes through 

and I can say that I am whole 

and you are two
