NEW REVIEW! (3.01.06)
"From the opening track of, ‘I Can See It In You’ to the closing track, ‘Straight Lines’ you would be forgiven for feeling in session with Chief Chick himself. The wavy and soothing sounds surrender your soul at his mercy." More...

The night came quicker than usual, and it caught me by surprise
Before I found some shelter, the blackness dimmed my eyes
My panicked heart was pounding, my legs instinctively took flight
I aimlessly ran in circles, in the horror of blackest night
In the distance I could hear it, the sounds of a terrible beast
I could hear its claws scratching, I could see the flash of its teeth
There was no way to outrun it, for it traveled on all fours
So, left with just one prospect, I turned and faced the noise
The blade I held: had a faint sparkle, illumined from distant stars
The beast knew I would use it, as it stalked me from afar
My wait drug on for eternity, as I firmly stood my ground
But soon it would be over, for I heard approaching sounds
Throughout my life, I purposefully planned, to never travel by night
It was the only way to miss the beast, and avoid a deadly fight
Yet, life has a sense of justice, not willing to let me cheat those plans
From facing the beast who stalks me, from facing what haunts a man
A silhouette sprang out of the blackness, striking hard the first blow
I volleyed back with the tip of my blade, causing the beast to mown
Collapsing together, mortally wounded, the dawn began to break
I saw the beast that had attacked me, it was myself, in whom, I faced
