Eschaton

[WarpCanada]

Hi guys been away a bit. This song came to me quickly, in about 30 minutes today.  It's about a kid who does not want to be dragged to church.
The word Eschaton means the final act in the closing curtain of time and reality, the last act of God, in the divine comedy, or the thing at the end of all things.


Eschaton

Walk on my own two feet
Dance in my funeral shoes
My necktie is gonna strangle me
This shirt is a prison shirt
This suit is a grave disservice
To someone who isn't dead yet.
Pretend not to mind
If they take it all away
Whatever means most to me.

here you go kid
here you go kid
and then they grab it away.

Make sure that they never see your tears.
The eschaton is a sepulchre.
Whitewashed and baptized.
Dead to sin.
And born to be born again.

Warren,
this is amazing.... really really amazing... you talk about depth of insight... depth of desire..... depth of despair... haunting and beautiful at the same time... deep, very deep... I doubt my mind can grasp this but there is a place inside it resonates with... plus beside the vocals and lyrics the music is perfect for this...

it was worth the wait !!!!   

[Farrell Jackson]

Some very deep lyrics Warren...the more I read them the deeper they get. You've presented them well in this song!

Haunting song Warren! The lyrics have so much unique depth, I love how they take center stage here. The atmosphere is stellar, every desolate strum!

[Zoltan]

Yeah, i didn't expect this Let's just all agree that it's best not to drag the kid(s) to the church.

If i was that kid... I'd leave such skidmarks on floor that they'd learn.

A great mood piece with a strong storyline.

SUBLIME is the exact word for this song I was one that was dragged kicking and screaming on sundays so can relate Fine song brother

I love the music Warren, that is really delicate playing and services the song perfectly. The words and the theme... yes really powerful and paints an intense picture. Churches and religion.... what a power they held - and hold - over so so many. I am not sure where I stand, I understand the pain they inflicted, but also conversely, the hope and comfort they have brought. But a powerful, haunting tune... great stuff.
