Description
This original song combines classic folk rock with distorted rhythm guitar and gritty solid vocals in order to create a provocative and memorable sound. The lyrics are based on the philosophical Gnostic belief that one may attain true spiritual knowledge void of constraints imposed by religiosity. Far removed from didacticism, "Gnostic" takes the concept of modern-day story telling to a whole new level.
Lyrics
This train has jumped the track Freed from temple restraints I can finally gain my freedom back And escape a world that taints Go ahead and follow a train Where sleeping beauties lie In papal lives destined to wane But continuing their cry The knowledge of the secret lies . . . In the wake of a Gnostic A fulfilling prophet as he tries To keep from becoming caustic (Repeat) From Pharaohs walking Until Jesus died You can hear them talking About how Man tried To convince the masses Of this old tale And how time it passes Stripped behind the veil (Repeat chorus) This train has jumped the track Freed from temple restraints I can finally gain my freedom back And escape a world that taints Go ahead and follow a train Where sleeping beauties lie In papal lives destined to wane But continuing their cry (their cry) (Repeat chorus)
