about

2) Atlas – features Jon Boylan on vocals & Milt Gore on lead guitar. The weight of the world is on his shoulders; he took it upon himself.

lyrics

Riding blindly through the night, Eastward looms the morning light
Ghostly rattle on the wind, soul embattled yet again, fear…

Silent screams from within me; violent dreams come vividly
Faceless demons, grinning masks, lie in wait along my path here…

I will stand my ground, stare them down, strength unbound, righteous
Breathless with recklessness, faith newfound, guileless

Watch the daylight cleanse the sky; wash away your tears…

Weather-beaten, blood-laced eyes, dust I’ve eaten tastes of lies
Sheltered homeless, faced the days ever hopeless, so afraid
I’ve armored every smile I’ve dared, a far more heavy cross to bear
Bartered more than I realize, martyred for my alibis
Once the burden is lifted again, hate, penitent, takes up the weight

Free … shouldering the world laid before me…

Words unspoken as I kneel, absolution beyond reach
Promise broken, glass on steel, evolution incomplete
The albatross hung, dead eyes open, has learned deception
(Bled dry, sleepless, chafing collar)
Heroes unsung, fled and long gone, have earned redemption
(Led like sheep dressed for the altar)
Once the burden is lifted again, each, hesitant, faces his fate

Bears each scar he wears…
(Spurning bridges left far behind)
With bloodied hands, self-reprimand…
(Burning witches swept from his mind)

about

Quicksilver Night Yorktown, Virginia

I jokingly refer to myself as “First Among Equals” at Quicksilver Night and, while I am deeply involved in all aspects of productions
at each step, I know that cannot do this alone. I am very grateful for the support of my song-specific collaborators and tech-savvy friends.
