lyrics

Here the ancient fog of fear divides
and our innocent devices
idle like a soaring light
without regard for the dark

Then "yay" we say, “What a beacon awaits
awash in gleaming gold!?
The glare, the glow!"
As focus pulls from the beauty of the dark.

Then harkened deep a holy yawn.
The marching peaceful plea to god.
“Our hope has come and gone!”
No more a heavy sigh from darkness.

And what a world to focus on;
a floating dream to ponder.
Off above the faded ground,
listen from the dark. The dark, the darkness.

Then echo bristling voices
from deeply heaving heavy chests,
"dreaming never dies". No, just one
of many many deaths for darkness.

And there they've heaped the light upon
like a candle bested by the dawn.
No use to shake a fist
to offer dismay in name of dark. the dark, the darkness.

And as the angles spread and sprayed the glare,
Stood amazed to face the gates of fear
that guide the passing moments
rising high from fading darkness.

And those tangled in the writhing light
Those too naive to unite
with the best and blessed content to fight,
Sigh, "what good again was the dark?" the dark, the darkness.

I'm a bedroom songwriter, composer, producer looking to explore the boundaries of creation from under my blankets.

"Cult of Love" was human created.

"Sleeping in the Gateway" is part of an ongoing project of research and dialog with my computer via GPT-2 for text and Google Magenta for midi. Each of these songs was partially generated by an AI, then I re-composed, arranged, and produced them. ... more
