about

Cool name, right? This track was is about accepting the inevitability of death but fighting the dimming of the light. Typical poetry stuff, except for the Sky Burial aspect which IMO makes it cool. Obviously for those paying attention, I totally love the mighty Maiden so, for the first time, embraced it. But interestingly, this song started out as a Motorhead homage....hmmmm???

lyrics

For the curios:

from stardust we’re made and are one in a million
and stardust we fade in a second of time
a roll of the dice it will change in a instant
so grab the brass ring passing by

a decision will send you in a new direction
and unfolds adventure anew
and one that will end in the same way as others
impossibly human its true

these scars on my face are proof that
I have lived this life
they are the memories that walk by my side

let the carrion fly
fly on the solar winds
like a phoenix I’ll rise
burial in the sky

the body it dies and at once it revives
dark matter continues unending
with Hawking and Huxley we open the mind
and the concept of time ever bending

into the black and onward forever
this is my final reward
no dust to dust for the fates have decided forever traversing the void

stars over my head have been there since the dawn of time
and one life is gone in the blink of an eye

let the carrion fly
fly on the solar winds
like a phoenix I’ll rise
burial in the sky

I ride devils wings
constellations divine
stardust I will return
only the soul will die

Solos (yes, plural)

these scars on my face are proof that
i have lived this life
they are the memories that walk by my side

let the carrion fly
fly on the solar winds
like a phoenix I’ll rise
burial in the sky

let the carrion fly
constellations divine
stardust I will return
only the soul will die

Taurus at War Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

Taurus At War is the album by Robin Jordan, me in Saskatoon. It may be a 'concept album'. Not sure, really... I'd say all records are concept albums by the artists (blah blah). Anyway, I worked hard on it and I hope you like it. There was no 'autotune' etc on the record. 'Whole thing was played and mixed as old school' as I could get it. So stop complaining if it sucks and hope you like it! ... more
