"Another journey has begun Two brothers in a treasure hunt And their mom told them to share The world they would find there In the place where the dreams hide from the sun. For many years they heard her sigh Cause father left when they were five As the sun, started to burn The boys felt so alone And they couldn’t decide which way was home They raised their voices to the sky, They lost the words, began to fight They were both blinded by pride, a road that meant goodbye And each one thought that Dad'd be on his side They say the land will never heal Such pain can never be concealed As their Father watched from above A war no one could solve Cause their hate was much stronger than their hope."

about

“Truth has to be given in riddles. People can't take truth if it comes charging at them like a bull. The bull is always killed. You have to give people the truth in a riddle, hide it so they go looking for it and find it piece by piece; that way they learn to live with it.”
by Chaim Potok in "My Name Is Asher Lev"


All the music in this album was written on the idea that truth cannot be completely perceived if it comes directly to you from someone else. It has to be a process of self discovery.
