about

This track is comprised three pieces, making it a trilogy, I guess, but not by design. Stephen's recitation is distilled from his book Come of Age and is quite a feat...an unauthorized history of the western world in 22 minutes or so. What The Masters Have appears as an interlude between the two recitations and is a song I started in 2014, meant for inclusion on Vain+Alone, lyrically retooled by Stephen and I in the summer of 2019.

lyrics

WHAT THE MASTERS HAVE

Confess to your dreams
You've counted up the losses
They know you've failed them
But dreams can be replaced.

Apologize to the gurus
And bear them down from their crosses
Where you once blackmailed them
And send them on their way.

The seekers want,
what the masters have
So it's safe and sound
And it's free at last
But it's lost NOT found
And the cup is passed
When the slaves want just
What the masters have.
