While in a chemically induced haze after the Halifax show on Halloween I had an idea for a new song. Just wanted to get some reactions to the lyrics. And you get three guesses as to who it is a tribute for and the first two don't count.

V1
Joined with the gathered we were seeking the sun.
Another step on a journey I didn't know I'd begun.
As the sun slowly sank the rhythm did rise.
we coasted in slow with collective surprise.

V2
Draw on your strength to carry me on
my feet cannot rest til I reach Babylon
hanging in the gardens this song bird she sings
now I'll play Geppetto and cut all her strings

Chorus
I don't want to keep you locked in a cage
or weigh you down with the chains I've made
all that I want is for you to be free
and once in a while sing a song just for me

V3
no need to cross oceans or climb a high peak
in the mirror she'll find the Goddess she seeks
sit with me a while and we'll watch the dawn
I won't hold you back when it's time to move on
