lyrics

In the era of ascendance, I was seeking out an edge
In a beerhouse at the crossroads I found him in full fledge
Fueling friendly fire, conducting on the ledge of the unknown

In the spirit of transcendance, I let go of the reins
Abandoned safetycrosscodes of the sterile and the sane
He sang in middle eastern time, spoke to me of Spain in moorish tones

You were in full flight, Gerry
A diamond mind holding court from your throne

Your father dealt in gamblers, though he’d never laid a bet
You’d rolled around with ramblers and you only played roulette
When I passed you in the High Street, you spat out ‘traitor’ yet
You could not have known

When you came burned out in anger, I was the keeper of the gate
I’d seen your soul in amber and now I’d seen it straight
I felt no recognition from a spirit so sedate and overthrown

You were broken down, Gerry
A maestro in the mire than you’d sewn

Now all your falls are steeper, your flights few and far between
The darkest days are deeper but still your spirit’s keen
In a world so grim with reapers, your corruscation seems the gleam
Of precious stone

Oh it’s alright, Gerry
There’s wisdom in the ways that you’ve flown

Aims and Methods (2023) signals a new musical direction and the first release recorded and mixed at Doctor M’s own Sublemotion Studios. ... more
