10,000 Years Lyrics
10,000 years or more
In jet black meditation
Sonic Tempress hears no more
And hands me my salvation
Walking thru the piles of life
Ignore all accusation
Now I stand here hands are sore
But thats my motivation
The vision never died
The earthling walked in flight
10,000 Years or more
In jet black meditation
Now I stand here hands are sore
But thats my reputation
In jet black meditation
Sonic Tempress hears no more
And hands me my salvation
Walking thru the piles of life
Ignore all accusation
Now I stand here hands are sore
But thats my motivation
The earthling walked in flight
In jet black meditation
Now I stand here hands are sore
But thats my reputation

I think this song is about playing guitar.
10,000 years or more In jet black meditation - Getting high and playing guitar for hours, losing track of time.
Sonic Tempress hears no more And hands me my salvation - His playing is rewarded with noteriety
Walking thru the piles of life Ignore all accusation - Everyday people trying to bring you down for doing what you love IE "put down the guitar and get a job"
Now I stand here hands are sore But thats my motivation - Again with the guitar playing
The vision never died The earthling walked in flight - He kept true to what he wanted to play
It's about the fall of man and the loss of integrity, purpose and identity(black meditation) as a whole. Sore hands are a metaphore for that which was lost after the fall, and that some still hold the standard integrity(salt of the earth/chosen few) of a lost age in humanity.
