about

A Thousand Paths to Wisdom is the fastest song on the album. It’s a real headbanger and the end is epic. The lyrics are about escaping who we are, who we don’t want to be, and finding something better. It is also about how I dislike preaching/preachers, so I will not tell you what path you should be on, only that there are many paths to wisdom and perhaps there is a better path for you if the path you are on isn’t taking you in the direction you want to be going. I wrote the lyrics while on a trip to Alaska and walking through the mountains and across glaciers really gave me a different perspective on life and these lyrics reflect that.

lyrics

A Thousand Paths to Wisdom

Breath in the storm without, the powers within only lost in doubt
Strength to find, wisdom to know, plant a seed and watch it grow
Stare inward, see fears disguise, clear your mind, enemy dies
Pierce your weakness, feel it fade away, all you have given, taken back today

I have lived amongst the scum, found kinship with my hurt
I have drunk of the poison, I have wallowed in the dirt
I have walked in your cities, I have lived in the grey
I have dug my own grave but that is not where I will stay
I have walked through great mountains, in brightest of day
I have heard the wolves howl, while above ravens play
I have walked through your cities, I have found a better way
I tell you there is more, you can just walk away

You can just walk away

Find a place where you belong, find a place that makes you strong
The way ahead will be long but that does not mean the direction is wrong

A thousand paths before you, you will find yours in time
I will not tell you which is which, yours is a different path than mine
A thousand paths before you, you will find yours in time
I will not tell you which is which, yours is a different path than mine

Let the past fade away
Let it fade

A thousand paths before you, you will find yours in time
I will not tell you which is which, yours is a different path than mine
A thousand paths before you, you will find yours in time
I will not tell you which is which, yours is a different path than mine
