The Mendicant

Golden Rays from the Sky Above,
With every step pf my way.
At my heels is a yapping dog,
But I don't understand what it wants to say.
Not a care in the World have I,
'Neath the amber Dome of the Sheltering Sky.
My Worldly Goods in a bindle bag,
That's all held fast with a clasp of brass.
Just a travelling Mendicant,
Are you going the same way as I?
The Joker of the Pack.
Are you going the same way as I?
Just follow me on my path.
On my head is a crown of green,
Nature's Kingdom and Nature's Son.
From my wreath comes a feather of red,
for the animal that runs in my veins.
A puff of air propels my weary way,
I simply follow the North-Western gale.
I'm known by many names across the land,
Nemo's my name and Zero's my game.
Just a travelling Mendicant,
Are you going the same way as I?
The Joker of the Pack.
Are you going the same way as I?
Just follow me on my path.

You come to me, full of hate,
And I don't know what to tell you.
I struggle to find,
I struggle to find,
The words that are able
To quench the fires of your anger.
You come to me, heavy with sorrow,
And I can't find you peace of mind.
I search my soul to see,
I search my soul to see,
An image to help you illuminate your mind.
Lay them by the fires,
They're not what you need.
Nothing is real.
And if nothing is real,
Everything is permitted.
You come to me, poisoned with envy,
A yearning for the things you've never had.
You purchase trinkets here,
You purchase trinkets there,
Searching for something to fill you inner void.
You come to me, burdened by your guilt,
But words alone won't absolve you.
We urge you to let go,
We urge you to let go,
You're always conspiring to complicate you own lives.
Lay them by the fires,
They're not what you need.
Nothing is real.
And if nothing is real,
Everything is permitted.

Pendulum Man

A Pendulum in the wind.
(By one leg I sway)
Tis fate that has brought me to this state.
(Tis True my hands are bound.)
Just a pendulum in the wind.
Here is what I've given up for my brethren.
(Family requires some sacrifice)
Here is what I've given up for faith.
(Institutions demand sacrifice.)
(And the All-Father hung from a branch of the great tree,
For nine nights and a day.
With his his remaining eye staring into dark depths,
Waiting for the Runes to light the way.
No food nor water, side pierced by a spear,
Waiting for wisdom to draw near.)
Here is what I've given up for kinsmen.
(Kinships require some sacrifice.)
Here is what I've given up to be wise.
(Knowledge demands sacrifice.)
A Pendulum in the wind.
(The snake at my heels holds fast.)
Tis fate that has brought me to this state.
(The moons on my tunic shine bright.)
Just a pendulum in the wind.
Here is what I've given up for love.
(Caring requires some sacrifice.)
Here is what I've given up for my dreams.
(Realisation demands sacrifice.)
