MISTER GOODMORNING People say “Mr. Good Morning” People say “Mr. Good Night” People say “Mr. Good Morning” People say “Mr. Good Night” He’s always on his way He’s got to earn his pay You’ll always hear him say It has to be that way People say “Mr. Good Morning” People say “Mr. Good Night” People stay most of the morning People go mostly at night He’s always on his way He’s got to earn his pay You’ll always hear him say It has to be that way People say “Mr. Good Morning” People say “Mr. Good Night” People stay most of the morning People go mostly at night You know he knows he’s never on his own He knows they’re never far away His sense of pride is rarely ever shown He knows his mind today People say “Mr. Good Morning” People say “Mr. Good Night” People say “Mr. Good Morning” People say “Mr. Good Night"

[I] Hello listener If I am successful in my venture Then this will be my last communication With anything in the human world This recording will serve to document my journey I hope others can come to understand the wonder That is the city of *** Let me start from the beginning [II] In my studies at university I came across a lost city Through many different cultures It was known by different names And told to hold vast riches Of material and of mind I cared little for it's wealth But was obsessed with it's knowledge What ancient wisdom was there What secrets were known to them It became my final goal To find this lost ruin I knew in my soul This city held the key To mental enlightenment And it would be mine Through countless hours buried In maps, ledgers, and records I found a path that could lead To the city that held my desires So I set off on the path Never to return again Over oceans and mountains Through dense jungles and caverns I stumbled across terrain That was unaffected by man Wild with untamed nature I found the ancient ruin I knew in my soul This city held the key To mental enlightenment And it would be mine [III] First I examined the structure of the city A perfect circle with a temple at the center Tombs and monuments littered about Filled with the graves of its denizens Through months of research I decoded Their language written on tablets The city's true name was *** And it held an enourmous secret Everything in this city Was dedicated to gods of another realm And its main focus was to reach them By way of mental enlightenment My ultimate goal was within reach All I needed was to figure out the ritual Used by the city's people To reach the plane of thought Through many more months of trial and error I pieced together the puzzle of the ritual The coffins used for the city's corpses Had specific markings to transfer consciousness And now all I have left Is to step inside my corporeal grave And recite the incantation to begin the ritual Where I will join the people and gods of *** [IV] I know in my soul This city holds the key To mental enlightenment And it will be mine

Hey, she’s always believing in magic Hey, she’s always believing in magic I want to believe, but I don’t want be naive Help me to perceive something of sorcery Hey, she’s always escaping the present Hey, she’s always escaping the present I want to escape, but I’m not one to navigate Draw the castle gate, lead me away from here Tell me the magician doesn’t know where the rabbit went Tell me they just trust the magic will work again Tell me the magician doesn’t know how it disappeared They just close their eyes and enter another sphere, away from here, far away I want to combine, but I’m afraid to lose what’s mine Show me it’s benign, then make me another thing Tell me the magician doesn’t know where the rabbit went Tell me they just trust the magic will work again Tell me the magician doesn’t know how it disappeared They just close their eyes and enter another sphere, away from here, far away

Jeremiah The Stranger - Prophet of Fire 03:50
lyrics

In the spring along the river bank good purpose came to me, offered me to come, take a drink, now I cant unsee The wonders of the creatures, and the marvels of creation, wainting for a command, alive with conjuration. The magician calls upon the fire In the shadow of an open flame, darkness. evil, cheats. pulls upon a string of fear and shame, Tells me what I need The secrets of illusion, And the violence of deception, watching for sleight of hand, await the misdirectioin. feel around for a trap door, for the way out or a mirror look around in amazment, At the life you found and engage it Abracadabra

Sick in bed once again Dragged out only by burning desire Bright red light Head on fire Bright red light Head on fire Drawn to the moon on the horizon, salvation Bright red light Head on fire Bright red light Head on fire Now I’ll never go back to bed
