about

Odondis finds himself in a dark prison, floating in what seems to be an endless ocean for who knows how long.

The only vague memory leading to this event is of his own folly. He rushed into restricted areas searching for the place the bards told him of and was apprehended.

Take a dive into the inner turmoil born out of this solitary confinement, and follow him to the realization that just might be his salvation.

Thanks for listening, and hopefully this track finds you well.

lyrics

I don't know what time is,
An ocean or just waves.

I don't know how I fell
Into this special hell
That I'm imprisoned in.
Some din within my head
That this quiet abyss has fed
Asks, "Is this my grave?"
My grave mistake has been
I should have listened when
They said, "You'll need a friend."

The pieces fall in place for a saving grace.
The pieces fall in place with my life at stake.
(I wait and wait...)

I don't know if I'll cave
From one more goddamn wave
Of dark disarray.
A ray of light disrupts (the endless dark),
But then the moment's up (quick as the start).
Can I reach it still?
It's till I let it go (which I won't do)
That it still exists in time's flow (within this room),
Drifting closer...

The pieces fall in place like a mountain range.
(I feel it quake)
The pieces fall in place, my potential wakes.
(I wait and wait...)

I don't know how many days
Since I last felt sun rays,
But it's my solstice.
Distill my energy (I focus it)
So time must flow through me (a conduit)
To my liking.
Like king, set, check and mate (the tables turn),
It's not the point in space (for victory earned),
But the timing.

The pieces fall in place as the moments race.
(Chains age and break)
The pieces fall in place, I erase mistakes.
(With a second take)
The pieces fall in place, making my escape.
(I wait and wait...)

If timing is my gift,
Then I can make a mountain shift.
Do you get my drift?
