LYRICS:
01 Eyes Upon Riches 0:00
*Excerpt taken from Robert Service's "The Prospector"
"It’s the fever, it’s the glory of the game.
For once you’ve panned the speckled sand and seen the bonny dust,
It's peerless brightness blinds you like a spell;
It’s little else you care about; you go because you must"
~
02 The Locksmith 05:57
"What is it for, built a door
Entrance to the mind is nevermore
Look at me, lock and key
Through a tiny window you can see
In this room, tried to improve
Walls around you limit amplitude
So you're callin on me to set you free
Cause I'm the one whos holding all the keys
Counted all the rings within your tree
30 year saturn return complete
There's a dream in the sleep
Ideas born asunder in the deep
So you stay, try to pray
Lonely wishes linger in the fray
Dusty light, floating by
Time to walk on through and live your life
So you're callin on me to set you free
Cause I'm the one whos holding all the keys
Counted all the rings within your tree
30 year saturn return complete
Welcome weary traveler*
To a realm beyond the gate*
Where the secrets of the universe*
Unlock your very fate*"
~
03 Gold Fever 12:55
"Long the day is done
Honest work for one
Through a mountain pass
Through the endless grass
Sleeping on a dream
On a dream
Gold fever's in
Pickaxe & whiskied men
Gotta dig, gotta dig again
Wheel & deal thy fate
Dig my futures grave
From the earth we rise
Return to claim that prize
Sleeping on a dream
On a dream
Gold fever's in
Pickaxe & whiskied men
Gotta dig, gotta dig again
Gold fever's in
Pickaxe & whiskied men
Gotta dig, gotta dig again"
~
04 Claims & Prospects 16:17
"How could you comprehend?
They've bought & sold the land
No matter the find, niners mine
Tale, take it all with time
Before the door closes
Take, take it all for you
Claim, claimed it all for you
Deep in the night lays your bright
Seance reverends ghostly flight
No matter the claim, prospects change
Take what they want, take what the will, it's not my deal
& I'll stake my own claim
Take, take it all for you
Claim, claimed it all for you
Claimed it and left none for me"
~
05 From Boom Town To Ghost Town 20:56
"Listen up friends
Hear what I say and don't delay
Mines running out
Matter of time before the town bottoms out
After all that it boomed to be
All that remains to see is a ghost town
Packing up all of your dreams
Carefully stow them with the rest of your things
Kicking sorrow & dust
One last look back as it all turns to rust
After all that it boom to be
All that remains to see is a ghost town
Ferry me along
Paradise I long to call home
Ferry me along
Take my coin as payment to cross
To cross"
~
06 Waterways (The Motherlode) 26:23
"Hearing all the news
Composes my next move
Eyes shift across the room
Trust no one from my view
Victims of a ruse
Grifters led by fools
Eyes shift towards the groove
Follow the waters move
Tunnel in this darkness
Tunnel in the light
We carried you born
We buried you bright
I looked upon my futures eyes
& I told my maker
I'm the only who survived the mine
There I found the purpose of life
I'm working for the motherlode
Gonna retire on a piece of gold
I've dug for a thousand miles
Over hell & high water
I've searched for a thousand miles
& finally found the water"
~
07 Hooch's Skull 33:36
"Under the red sun, my head is severed gone
Body was lovesick, my heart led me wrong
I pulled the trigger, on my friend & cut him down
Where are my bones?
And my skull?
I'm a ghost!
& I'm stuck here living in the mortal world!
Under the pale moon, my soul wonders lost
Find me and bring me, to my grave and let me sleep
Deep in the valley of death, flesh turns dust
Where are my bones?
And my skull?
I'm a ghost!
& I'm stuck here living in the mortal world!
Young son where is your head at?
Young son where is your head at?
Young son where is your head at?
Young son where is your head at?
For years I've wondered the sands
Along with my fears
Always at my side
Boneless I've died
Endless is time
I aim to find"
