about

This was a bedtime story written spontaneously. Another version was released on the Prelude EP. Every time I listen to it, it makes me feel connected to that time. So we recorded it again for this album.

lyrics

Once upon a time, there lived a monster, on an island surrounded by a beautiful flowing ocean. He lived only with the salutation of the fiery red planet for company. It was a fine evening, as the reflection burnt a bright orange over the seven seas' deep navy. The monster intently watched the sun's path over the earth, and feared the moment that it would melt into the blue, as he knew, that when sun hides behind the edge of the sea, all the little evils that creep in the night begin to release. Happiness began to drain from the monster, as the sun sunk slowly into the horizon.

The light was suddenly trapped from his perfect world and the shadows began to creep and crawl towards him. He sat still, consumed in his misery and plunged into this deep darkness. The coarse hair raised on the back of his neck and his claws, did they tremble. As the humans snuck from their hiding places and circled the monster, they conjured up horrible thoughts in his mind. His tummy drummed and his skin even crawled as the humans snuck ever, ever closer. So he squeezed his golden eyes shut ever so tightly and wish hard for sun's daybreak, under his mighty breath.

As if someone far away had heard his desperate plea, the sun rose high into the night sky, bringing it's gentle warmth back into the monster's life. The bright sunlight chased the humans all the way back, into their far away hiding places and brought the security and happiness the monster once felt...

Back to the islands golden sands...
